Once administered in an organism, the physiological parameters of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) must be addressed, as well as their possible interactions and retention and elimination profiles. Alternating current biosusceptometry (ACB) is a biomagnetic detection system used to detect and quantify MNPs. The aims of this study were to evaluate the biodistribution and clearance of MNPs profiles through long-time in vivo analysis and determine the elimination time carried out by the association between the ACB system and MnFe2O4 nanoparticles. The liver, lung, spleen, kidneys, and heart and a blood sample were collected for biodistribution analysis and, for elimination analysis, and over 60 days. During the period analyzed, the animal’s feces were also collectedd. It was possible to notice a higher uptake by the liver and the spleen due to their characteristics of retention and uptake. In 60 days, we observed an absence of MNPs in the spleen and a significant decay in the liver. We also determined the MNPs’ half-life through the liver and the spleen elimination. The data indicated a concentration decay profile over the 60 days, which suggests that, in addition to elimination via feces, there is an endogenous mechanism of metabolization or possible agglomeration of MNPs, resulting in loss of ACB signal intensity.
Neste trabalho foram analisadas as resoluções espaciais de sensores de Biosusceptometria AC (BAC) com diferentes diâmetros de bobinas e distâncias do objeto simulador. Com o uso de ferrita de manganês, como um fantoma pontual, foram adquiridas as Funções de Espalhamento Pontual dos sistemas e, através delas, foram quantificadas as resoluções dos sensores. Para isso, foram utilizados dois métodos consagrados em análise de resolução: a função de transferência modulada e a largura à meia altura. Os resultados demonstraram que para todos os diâmetros a menor distância apresentou melhores resoluções, enquanto para ambas distâncias o menor diâmetro apresentou melhores resoluções. Ao correlacionar os dois métodos para todos os casos foram obtidos perfis lineares, portanto, os métodos possuem alta similaredade quando aplicados ao sistema BAC. Com isso, podemos aferir a resolução espacial do sensor, onde foi possível realizar otimizações de geometria do sistema e posicionamentos conforme a medida a ser realizada e possíveis aplicações.
