| Abstract | It is of great interest to monitor implants in real-time using non-invasive detecting techniques in interventional therapies or tissue regeneration. In this study, MRI-visible hydrogels that are pH sensitive, injectable and self-healing were prepared based on chitosan and PEG. The macromolecular chelator of Gd(III), Ch–DTPA, was synthesized by functionalization of chitosan with diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA). The PEG end-capped with aryl aldehyde, PEG-DA, was prepared as a crosslinker. Based on the Schiff's base reaction, the hydrogels can be obtained quickly just by mixing the aqueous solutions of Ch–DTPA and PEG-DA at ambient temperature. The gelating procedure is pH sensitive, and the hydrogels exhibit self-healing in an environment with a pH value of 4.5–5.3. The morphology of the lyophilized gel was observed by SEM. In vitro release behavior of the hydrogel was tested also using rhodamine B as a model drug. The MRI contrast enhancement effect of Gd(III)-binding hydrogels was investigated both in vitro and in vivo on rats. The results revealed that the hydrogels showed strong signals on T1-weighted MR images, and the hydrogels could always be detected before complete biodegradation. Combining the histology observation, the developed in situ hydrogels are of potential in the application of long-term reporting of implants by MRI. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
