Publication Accès libre Interpretation of artifacts in Fourier transform infrared spectra of atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharges : relationship with the plasma frequency between 300 Hz and 15 kHz(Institute of physics, 2019-10-11) Milaniak, Natalia; Audet, Pierre; Laroche, Gaétan; Griffiths, Peter R.; Massines, FrançoiseThis article describes the occurrence of a phenomenon that is observed while recording mid-infrared (4000–700 cm−1) absorption spectra of dielectric barrier discharges sustained at frequencies ranging from 300 Hz to 15 kHz. This phenomenon is observed as the presence of very sharp spikes in the spectrum, for which the wavenumber depends on both the high voltage frequency used to generate the discharge and the velocity of the moving mirror of the interferometer (which in turn determines the interferogram sampling frequency). While it is well known that the consumption of gas precursor within plasmas can be followed, we demonstrate that Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy also makes it possible to monitor frequencies and coupling of excitation mechanisms occurring in the plasma.Publication Accès libre Magnetic resonance imaging of human tissue-engineered adipose substitutes(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2015-02-23) Audet, Pierre; Proulx, Maryse; Auger, Michèle; Fortin, Marc-André; Aubin, Kim; Lagueux, Jean; Fradette, JulieAdipose tissue (AT) substitutes are being developed to answer the strong demand in reconstructive surgery. To facilitate the validation of their functional performance in vivo, and to avoid resorting to excessive number of animals, it is crucial at this stage to develop biomedical imaging methodologies, enabling the follow-up of reconstructed AT substitutes. Until now, biomedical imaging of AT substitutes has scarcely been reported in the literature. Therefore, the optimal parameters enabling good resolution, appropriate contrast, and graft delineation, as well as blood perfusion validation, must be studied and reported. In this study, human adipose substitutes produced from adipose-derived stem/stromal cells using the self-assembly approach of tissue engineering were implanted into athymic mice. The fate of the reconstructed AT substitutes implanted in vivo was successfully followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is the imaging modality of choice for visualizing soft ATs. T1-weighted images allowed clear delineation of the grafts, followed by volume integration. The magnetic resonance (MR) signal of reconstructed AT was studied in vitro by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). This confirmed the presence of a strong triglyceride peak of short longitudinal proton relaxation time (T1) values (200±53 ms) in reconstructed AT substitutes (total T1=813±76 ms), which establishes a clear signal difference between adjacent muscle, connective tissue, and native fat (total T1 ∼300 ms). Graft volume retention was followed up to 6 weeks after implantation, revealing a gradual resorption rate averaging at 44% of initial substitute's volume. In addition, vascular perfusion measured by dynamic contrast-enhanced-MRI confirmed the graft's vascularization postimplantation (14 and 21 days after grafting). Histological analysis of the grafted tissues revealed the persistence of numerous adipocytes without evidence of cysts or tissue necrosis. This study describes the in vivo grafting of human adipose substitutes devoid of exogenous matrix components, and for the first time, the optimal parameters necessary to achieve efficient MRI visualization of grafted tissue-engineered adipose substitutes.Publication Accès libre Phosphidoboratabenzene-Rhodium(I) complexes as precatalysts for the hydrogenation of alkenes at room temperature and atmospheric pressure(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-10-26) Pérez, Viridiana; Bi, Wenhua; Audet, Pierre; Fontaine, Frédéric-GeorgesThe di-tert-butylphosphido-boratabenzene ligand (DTBB) reacts with [(C2H4)2RhCl]2 yielding the dimeric species [(C2H4)Rh(DTBB)]2 (1). This species was fully characterized by multinuclear NMR and X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 readily dissociates ethylene in solution and upon exposure to 1 atm of H2 is capable of carrying out the hydrogenation of ethylene. The characterization of two Rh–H species by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy is provided. The reactivity of 1 towards the catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes at room temperature and 1 atm of H2 is reported and compared to the activity of Wilkinson’s catalyst under the same reaction conditions.
