PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with [68Ga]NODAGA-c(RGDfK) ([68Ga]RGD), in comparison with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]FDG), for early monitoring of the efficacy of an antiangiogenic agent associated or not with chemotherapy, in a mouse model of glioblastoma (GB). ProceduresMice bearing U87MG human GB cells line were parted into five groups of five mice each. One group was imaged at baseline before the treatment phase; another group was treated with bevacizumab (BVZ), another group with temozolomide (TMZ), another group with both agents, and the last one was the control group. Tumors growth and biological properties were evaluated by caliper measurements and PET imaging at three time points (baseline, during treatment t1?=?4–6 days and t2?=?10–12 days). At the end of the study, tumors were counted and analyzed by immunohistochemistry (CD31 to evaluate microvessel density). ResultsThe tumor volume assessed by caliper measurements was significantly greater at t1 in the control group than in the TMZ + BVZ-treated group or in the BVZ-treated group. At t2, tumor volume of all treated groups was significantly smaller than that of the control group. [18F]FDG PET failed to reflect this efficacy of treatment. In contrast, at t1, the [68Ga]RGD tumor uptake was concordant with tumor growth in controls and in treated groups. At t2, a significant increase in tumor uptake of [68Ga]RGD vs. t1 was only observed in the TMZ-treated group, reflecting a lack of angiogenesis inhibition, whereas TMZ + BVZ resulted in a dramatic tumor arrest, reduction in microvessel density and stable tumor [68Ga]RGD uptake. Conclusions[68Ga]RGD is a useful PET agent for in vivo angiogenesis imaging and can be useful for monitoring antiangiogenic treatment associated or not with chemotherapy. 相似文献

In patients with breast cancer undergoing anthracycline-based chemotherapy, we investigated the deformational parameters of the left ventricle, right ventricle and left atrium, as well as the relationship between these parameters. Ninety-five patients with breast cancer who were treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy were enrolled. The control group included 116 healthy female volunteers. Parameters including left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS); right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWSL) and global longitudinal strain (RV4CSL); and peak strain of the left atrium during LV systole (LASR), early LV diastole (LASCD) and late LV diastole (LASCT) were analyzed by speckle tacking echocardiography. LV-GLS, LASR, LASCD, RVFWSL and RV4CSL in the chemotherapy group decreased significantly by 15.6%, 13.8%, 19.8%, 21.8% and 13.2% ( p < 0.05), respectively, when compared with the control group. LASCT was slightly increased in the chemotherapy group but the increase was not statistically significant ( p > 0.05). Formulas for the influencing factors of LV-GLS were LV-GLS = –18.73738541 + 0.13961 × LVIDd + 0.09672 × LASCD + 0.18113 × RVFWSL in the control group and LV-GLS = –8.026302253 + 0.20811 × LASCD + 0.11084 × LASCT + 0.12153 × RVFWSL in the chemotherapy group. Both LV contraction and RV contraction were impaired after the completion of anthracycline-based therapy, and RVFWSL may be superior to LV-GLS in assessing cardiotoxicity. LA reserve and channel function were significantly reduced, while pump function was slightly increased. Compared with the results among healthy people, the influencing factor of LV-GLS varied after anthracycline treatment, and LA function had a greater impact on LV-GLS. 相似文献

Purpose Several established optical imaging approaches have been applied, usually in isolation, to preclinical studies; however, truly useful in vivo imaging may require a simultaneous combination of imaging modalities to examine dynamic characteristics of cells and tissues. We developed a new multimode optical imaging system designed to be application-versatile, yielding high sensitivity, and specificity molecular imaging. Procedures We integrated several optical imaging technologies, including fluorescence intensity, spectral, lifetime, intravital confocal, two-photon excitation, and bioluminescence, into a single system that enables functional multiscale imaging in animal models. Results The approach offers a comprehensive imaging platform for kinetic, quantitative, and environmental analysis of highly relevant information, with micro-to-macroscopic resolution. Applied to small animals in vivo, this provides superior monitoring of processes of interest, represented here by chemo-/nanoconstruct therapy assessment. Conclusions This new system is versatile and can be optimized for various applications, of which cancer detection and targeted treatment are emphasized here. 相似文献

探讨了对保留的门静脉导管实施专项护理的可行性。对15 例中晚期肝癌患者采用肝动脉化疗术(TAC) 及门静脉化疗术(TVC),进行联合化疗,而经矢状部的门静脉导管保留术可进行多次TVC。结果显示:采用导管专项护理技术的门静脉导管基本上保障畅通,并藉此反复行TVC,显著提高了化疗效果。认为:联合化疗术是治疗中、晚期肝癌的有效措施,而门静脉导管的专项护理技术是提高疗效的重要环节。 相似文献
