and 4, filtering the dialyzed solution by using a microfiltration membrane with the pore diameter of 0.22 mu m, and freeze-drying to obtain Gd/Yb @ CDs.
Examples
Using balance Na2EDTA(93.06mg,0.25mmol),GdCl3(0.88mg,3.34μmol),YbCl3(8.48mg, 30.06. mu. mol) and L-arginine (12.54mg, 0.07mmol) were dissolved in 20mL of deionized water, and the beaker was placed on a magnetic stirrer and stirred for 15min to give a colorless transparent solution.

GdCl in the above embodiment3Replacement by DyCl3Or HoCl3And correspondingly preparing Gd/Dy @ CDs nano particles or Gd/Ho @ CDs nano particles.
FIG. 1 is an HRTEM photograph of Gd/Yb @ CDs nanoparticles prepared in example, from which it can be seen that: the Gd/Yb @ CDs nanoparticles are monodisperse spheroidal with an average particle size of about 5.26 +/-0.93 nm (FIG. 1A); a clear lattice fringe can be seen in fig. 1B with a lattice spacing of 0.213nm, corresponding to the (100) plane of graphitic carbon, consistent with previous literature reports.
FIGS. 2 and 3 are XPS and FTIR spectra of Gd/Yb @ CDs nanoparticles prepared according to the practice of the present invention, respectively, and it can be seen from FIG. 2 that the Gd/Yb @ CDs nanoparticles are composed of C1 s (284.5eV), N1 s (399.2eV) and O1 s (531.1eV), Gd 3d (1186eV) and Yb 4d (184.6eV) elements, demonstrating the successful incorporation of the rare earth elements Gd and Yb into the carbon dots. It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the FT-IR spectra of Gd/Yb @ CDs and CDs show similar absorption bands: in 3500-3200 cm-1The absorption peak at (1) corresponds to O-H and N-H stretching vibration at 1100cm-1Is in C-N stretching vibration, and the peak of the COO-group is from 1632cm-1It became 1615cm-1Possibly due to Gd3+/Yb3+And the carboxyl group of EDTA/L-arginine. These characteristic peaks further demonstrate the presence of hydroxyl, carboxylic acid and amino groups, consistent with the XPS results. Gd (Gd)3+And Yb3+After chelation, the peak shape of the integral FT-IR spectrum has no obvious change, which shows that the doping of the rare earth Gd/Yb has no obvious influence on the surface functional group of the carbon dot.
Taking into account the free Gd3+Can inhibit Ca in vivo2+The channels in turn induced severe cytotoxicity (e.g., cardiovascular and neuro-cytotoxicity), therefore, we placed dialysis bags (MWCO ═ 1000) containing Gd/Yb @ CDs in serum solution for dialysis for 24h, removed 0.4mL at intervals, and measured Gd/Yb @ CDs for Gd/OES3+Leakage, as shown in FIG. 4, in which&Representing Gd in the initial nanoparticle3+The content of (a). As can be seen from FIG. 4, almost no Gd was detected in the serum solution3+Possibly due to Gd3+There is a strong interaction with the carbon dots.
Toxicity of Gd/Yb @ CDs on HeLa and 4T1 cells was investigated using the MTT method. FIG. 5 shows the viability of HeLa cells and 4T1 cells after incubation with different concentrations of Gd/Yb @ CDs for 4h and 24h, where the viability of the cells for each Gd/Yb @ CDs concentration in FIG. 5 is marked a, b, c, d from left to right, and is only indicated when the Gd/Yb @ CDs concentration is 0. As can be seen from fig. 5: after 4h incubation, the survival and proliferation of both cell lines were almost unaffected. And the cell survival rate is still over 85 percent even if the concentration of Gd/Yb @ CDs is as high as 1mg/mL after the culture solution is prolonged to 24 hours. These preliminary experimental results indicate that the prepared Gd/Yb @ CDs have lower toxicity. This low toxicity also stems from the higher chemical stability of Gd/Yb @ CDs. Compared with semiconductor quantum dots with heavy metal toxicity, the low toxicity of Gd/Yb @ CDs enables the semiconductor quantum dots to have potential application prospects in the fields of biology and medicine.
FIG. 6 is a spectrum diagram of UV-Vis of Gd/Yb @ CDs, wherein FIG. 6A is an absorption spectrum and FIG. 6B is an excitation/emission fluorescence spectrum. As can be seen from fig. 6: CDs and Gd/Yb @ CDs exhibit the same absorption peak at 273nm, which corresponds to the n → pi transition of C ═ O. Under 365nm UV lamp illumination, the Gd/Yb @ CDs pale yellow aqueous solution exhibited bright blue fluorescence (FIG. 6A inset). Gd/Yb @ CDs also exhibit dependent stimulated emission behavior, a prevalent phenomenon caused by surface state emission traps of different energies. As the excitation wavelength changes, the corresponding surface state emission traps dominate, resulting in an excitation wavelength dependent phenomenon. As can be seen from fig. 6B: when the excitation wavelength was changed from 320nm to 370nm, the emission peak was shifted from 407nm to 463 nm. When the sample was excited at 340nm, the maximum fluorescence emission intensity was 418 nm. The quantum yield using quinine sulfate as a reference solution was 16.84%, slightly higher than 13.4% for Gd @ CDs. In addition, the fluorescence stability of Gd/Yb @ CDs is researched under a 365nm ultraviolet lamp, and the luminous intensity is still unchanged when the Gd/Yb @ CDs is exposed under the ultraviolet lamp for 2 hours, so that the Gd/Yb @ CDs have excellent optical stability.
To investigate the performance of Gd/Yb @ CDs in fluorescence imaging, we incubated HeLa cells with 1mg mL-1And co-incubating Gd/Yb @ CDs for 2 h. Images were captured using a fluorescence microscope in bright and dark fields, respectively. FIG. 7 is an image of cells after 2h incubation of HeLa cells with Gd/Yb @ CDs (1mg/mL), where (A) is a bright field image; (B) is a fluorescence image. FIG. 7 shows that the treated cells still maintain intact morphology in bright field; in the dark field, HeLa cells showed very strong blue fluorescence. Furthermore, we can see that Gd/Yb @ CDs are mainly localized in the cytoplasm, which is consistent with previously reported behavior of CDsThe same is true. This suggests that Gd/Yb @ CDs may enter the intracellular domain through the cell membrane barrier within a short period of time.
To investigate the Gd/Yb @ CDs nanoparticles at T1Performance in MR imaging, first, water tube imaging of aqueous solutions of nanoparticles of different concentrations was determined using deionized water as a control. Magnevist (Gd-DTPA), an FDA approved and widely used clinical contrast agent, was selected as the control group. With Gd3+Increased concentration (0-0.36 mM), two groups of T1The weighted MR image signal was gradually brightened (FIG. 8, where a represents Gd-DTPA and b represents Gd/Yb @ CDs), but the Gd/Yb @ CDs nanoparticles prepared in this example performed better at the same concentration. To further quantitatively assess the contrast effect, longitudinal relaxation times (T.sub.L) of Gd/Yb @ CDs solutions and Gd-DTPA at different concentrations were measured using a 9.4T standard inversion recovery pulse sequence1)。T1Reciprocal value of (d) and Gd3+There is a good linear relationship between the concentrations of (A) and (B), the slope of the fitted line being the longitudinal relaxation efficiency (r)1) And are commonly used to evaluate the performance of MRI contrast agents. R of Gd/Yb @ CDs1The value was 6.65mM-1s-1(FIG. 9), higher than clinical Gd-DTPA (r)1=3.69mM-1s-1) Is the reported Gd @ CDs (particle size 12nm, r)1=5.88mM-1S-1) 1.13 times of. The strong relaxivity of Gd/Yb @ CDs is mainly due to the fact that the particle size is small, the S/V value can be increased, the binding capacity of metal ions and water molecules is increased, and in addition, the existence of hydrophilic groups promotes r to a certain extent1Enhancement of (3).
The rare earth elements Yb and Gd have inherent X-ray absorption capability, so the Gd/Yb @ CDs nano particles can also be used for CT imaging. Lopidol, a clinically common CT contrast agent, was used as a control group. Two sets of water tube CT images (FIG. 10) were tested at 120kV X-ray energy, with Yb3+And increasing the concentration of I, the CT brightness is gradually increased. In contrast, Gd/Yb @ CDs showed a higher contrast effect than iodohydrin at the same concentration. For further quantitative evaluation of the effect of CT contrast, the X-ray attenuation capacity of Gd/Yb @ CDs was measured. As shown in FIG. 11, HU value and Yb3+Or a good linear relationship between the concentrations of I, Gd/Yb @ CDs have a slope of about 45.42HU Lg-1Is significantly higher than iobitridol (31.83HU L g)-1). This is mainly due to the attenuation coefficient of Yb (3.88 cm at 100 keV)2A damping factor of 1.94cm at 100keV,/g) greater than I2In terms of/g). In summary, the results indicate that Gd/Yb @ CDs have great potential as local contrast enhancement probes in MRI/CT imaging.

Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments.
