简要总结
Lymphatic transport will be examined using Near InfraRed Indocyanine Green fluorescence imaging (NIR-ICG) and magnetic resonance lymphography (MRL) of the upper extremities. The purpose of the study is to establish if NIR-ICG is a valid clinical outcome for quantifying lymphatic vessel drainage.
详细描述
Lymphedema from various etiologies (i.e. infection, cancer, surgery, and rheumatoid arthritis) remains a major health concern. Efforts to develop effective treatments for this condition have been limited by the absence of quantitative outcome measures for lymphatic function. Published articles have supported the fact that human lymphatic contractions can be readily visualized after intradermal administration of micrograms of Indocyanine Green using laser-induced fluorescence. We recently demonstrated the feasibility of NIR imaging to quantify lymphatic drainage in the hands, wrists and forearms of healthy volunteers following intradermal web space ICG injection into the hand . To establish this emerging technology as a valid clinical outcome measure, however, we must address two major questions that confound interpretation of the imaging results: 1) are the ICG filled vessels lymphatic vessels and/or small veins?; and 2) does NIR-ICG imaging following web space injection fully capture lymphatic flow from the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints that are most commonly involved in RA? To answer these questions, healthy patients will be recruited to have intradermal and intra-articular injections of ICG and gadolinium followed by an imaging sessions (NIR or magnetic resonance imaging) to measure lymphatic contraction rates and flow.

研究组 & 干预措施
NIR-ICG MRL
We may ask healthy subjects to return for up to four injection sessions for the study. The first injection session will consist of intradermal injection of ICG into the webspaces of the hand as done in our previous studies followed by NIR camera imaging. The second session will consist of intradermal gadolinium injection and intravenous (IV) iron contrast agent followed by MRI imaging approximately 1 week after the first session. The third session will occur at minimum eight weeks later and entail intra-articular ICG injection in order to evaluate drainage via the lymphatics. The MCP joints will be identified in the non-dominant hand and injected with ICG. Approximately one week later, the fourth session will compromise of intra-articular gadolinium injection and IV iron contrast to confirm lymphatic drainage. The MCP joints of the non-dominant hand will again be identified and injected with gadolinium.

结局指标
主要结局
Lymphatic contraction rate measured via NIR ICG camera. Unit of measure: # contraction/minute
时间窗: 12 months
Images collected from NIR scanning sessions will be analyzed to determine lymphatic contraction rate by identifying number of contractions per minute.
Manual lymphatic vessel counts via assessment of 2D images of NIR-ICG compared to MRI. Unit of measure: # lymphatic vessels/hand
时间窗: 12 months
Vessel location and numbers will be identified using 2D still images from the NIR scanning sessions and with 2D MR images. These images will be superimposed upon each other in order to confirm concordance of lymphatic vessels. Number of lymphatic vessels in the hands will be manually counted.
ICG clearance measured from hand using NIR ICG images. Unit of measure: (% difference Visit 1 from Visit 2)
时间窗: 12 months
2D still images collected from NIR scanning sessions will be analyzed to determine ICG clearance by comparing the % difference from visit 1 to visit 2.
