DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Oxygen consumption provides vital information about neuronal activity. Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia are associated with hampered enzymatic activity that catalyzes the reaction of oxidative metabolism. Oxygen consumption also has the potential for detecting regions of viable tissue following cerebral ischemia. Quantitative mapping of cerebral oxygen consumption contributes to the better understanding of the patho-physiology of several neurological disorders. A current method for such measurements is positron emission tomography (PET), which provides a low-resolution image and involves radioactive isotopes. Current 17O magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based methods, have limitations such as low sensitivity and requirement of invasive procedure and requirement of ultra-high magnetic fields. These limitations, coupled with the high cost of 17O2 gas, limit the applicability of direct 17O MRI methods to small animal studies. Consequently, there are no non-invasive methods for measuring oxygen consumption in humans in vivo combining safety with high spatial and temporal resolution. This proposal deals with the development of an integrated approach that combines an efficient 17O2 gas delivery system with improved, noninvasive, MRI strategies for computing cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2). Specifically, an efficient 17O2 gas delivery system, that reduces the 17O2 gas requirement by an order of magnitude will be designed and optimized for use on large animals and in humans. Efficacy of this system will be tested on a swine model. MRI methods will be designed to measure arterial input function of metabolically produced water (mpH217O) and cerebral blood flow. Finally, the above-mentioned system and MRI techniques will be integrated into an improved MRI strategy for measuring mpH217O to compute CMRO2 in the brain in vivo. Once the aims are accomplished, a noninvasive tool will become available to measure CMRO2 with high spatial resolution, which can be immediately extended to in vivo human studies. This approach will have substantial impact on the both scientific and clinical studies of neurological disorders and in the development and evaluation of novel therapies.

描述(申请人提供)：氧气消耗提供有关神经元活动的重要信息。阿尔茨海默病、帕金森氏病和精神分裂症等神经疾病与催化氧化代谢反应的酶活性受阻有关。氧气消耗也有可能检测脑缺血后存活组织的区域。脑氧耗的定量测绘有助于更好地了解几种神经疾病的病理生理学。目前的一种测量方法是正电子发射断层成像(PET)，它提供的是低分辨率的图像，涉及放射性同位素。目前基于17O磁共振成像(MRI)的方法具有灵敏度低、对侵入性操作要求高、对超强磁场的要求等局限性。这些限制，加上17O2气体的高昂成本，限制了直接17O磁共振方法在小动物研究中的适用性。因此，没有一种非侵入性的方法来测量人体体内的耗氧量，这种方法结合了安全性和高空间和时间分辨率。这项提案涉及开发一种综合方法，将高效的17O2气体输送系统与改进的、非侵入性的MRI策略相结合，以计算大脑耗氧代谢率(CMRO2)。具体地说，将设计和优化一种高效的17O2气体输送系统，将17O2的气体需求减少一个数量级，用于大型动物和人类。该系统的有效性将在猪模型上进行测试。MRI方法将被设计用来测量代谢产生的水(MpH217O)的动脉输入功能和脑血流量。最后，将上述系统和MRI技术集成到改进的MRI策略中，用于测量mPH217O，以计算活体大脑中的CMRO2。一旦这些目标实现，一种非侵入性的工具将可以测量高空间分辨率的CMRO2，这可以立即扩展到活体人体研究。这一方法将对神经系统疾病的科学和临床研究以及新疗法的开发和评估产生重大影响。
