Does the washout phenomenon of Tc-99m HM-PAO correlate to the “Filling-in” phenomenon of I-123 IMP with brain SPECT?

Summary Using SPECT, the time course of brain uptake was compared between N-isopropyl-p-[I-123]-iodoamphetamine (I-123 IMP) and Tc-99m d,l hexamethyl-propyleneamine oxime (Tc-99m HM-PAO). Of 14 patients with cerebrovascular disease showing areas of the filling-in phenomenon (i.e. delayed uptake) with I-123 IMP brain SPECT, 7 exhibited persistent defects with Tc-99m HM-PAO (Group I), and 7 showed early washout after the initial uptake (Group II). The filling-in of I-123 IMP did not always correlate to the washout region of Tc-99m HM-PAO. The temporal changes were also confirmed by semiquantitative analysis. While the filling-in of I-123 IMP was affected by many factors, the washout of Tc-99m HM-PAO was attributed to significant reduction of Tc-99m HM-PAO in the plasma. Delayed imaging of the brain with Tc-99m HM-PAO using SPECT may give a more accurate estimate of regional cerebral blood flow in cerebrovascular disease, because it should be lees effected by cerebral blood volume.

Graduated compression stockings in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Venous volume (venous capacity) of the calf is low in patientswith acute myocardial infarction, who also have a high riskof deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The effect of graduated compressionstockings on the venous volume and on the incidence of DVT wastherefore studied in 80 patients aged 70 years and above withacute myocardial infarction. Graduated compression stockingswere randomly fitted to one leg, the other serving as a control,after which the venous volume was measured by strain gauge plethysmography.The incidence of DVT was measured by the ¹²⁵I fibrinogen uptaketest. Venous volume was significantly higher in legs treatedwith graduated compression stockings compared to control legs.DVT developed in eight control legs but not in any leg treatedwith graduated compression stockings (P = 0.003). DVT was alsosignificantly more frequent in women compared to men and themajority of DVT developed in legs with very low venous volumevalues.     

Polyclonal 111In-IgG, 125I-LDL and 125I-endothelin-1 accumulation in experimental arterial wall injury

To test iodine-125 labelled low-density lipoprotein (¹²⁵I-LDL), polyclonal indium-111 labelled immunoglobulin G (¹¹¹In-IgG) and iodine-125 labelled endothelin-1 uptake in metabolically active atheromatous plaques after arterial wall injury, we performed balloon de-endothelialization of carotid arteries or abdominal aortas in 24 New Zealand male rabbits which were fed with a normal diet (n=14) or a hypercholesterolaemic diet (n=10) after surgery. Six weeks later the animals were injected with 200 Ci of (¹²⁵I-LDL), and/or with 100 Ci of ¹¹¹In-IgG or with 9 Ci of ¹²⁵I-endothelin-1. Forty-eight hours later the animals were sacrificed. Carotid arteries and aortas were removed, counted and fixed for autoradiography and light microscopy examination. Contralateral carotid arteries and thoracic aortas served as controls.Significant ¹¹¹In-IgG uptake was observed in the injured arteries at autoradiography, with localization mainly in the healing edges, and at well counting. The percentage of the injected dose per gram (%D.inj/g) was 0.0188±0.06 versus 0.0059±0.003 in controls (P< 0.05). There was no difference in ¹¹¹In-IgG uptake between arteries with injury alone and those with active atheroma formation at the site of the injury. Significant (¹²⁵I-LDL), uptake was observed only when lipid deposition was present at light microscopy (%D.inj/g of 0.0024±0.0005 vs 0.0010±0.0003 in controls, P < 0.05). ¹²⁵I-endothelin-1 accumulation was observed in four of five injured aortas both at autoradiography, with diffuse localization, and at well counting (%D.inj/g of 0.0012±0.0004 in the abdominal aortas vs 0.0008±0.0003 in the thoracic aortas).Polyclonal IgG may accumulate in injured arteries without active atheroma formation. Inflammatory reaction at the site of the injury may cause ¹¹¹In-IgG uptake independently of atheromatous plaque formation. LDL accumulation takes place only with active atheroma formation at the site of the injury. Use of labelled peptides such as endothelin-1 may provide further insight into the mechanisms of atheromatous plaque formation.     

[125I] N6-p-hydroxyphenylisopropyladenosine,a new ligand for Ri adenosine receptors

Summary N⁶-p-Hydroxyphenylisopropyladenosine (HPIA) has been labelled with carrier-free Na[¹²⁵I] to very high specific activity (2,175 Ci/mmol) and used as an agonist ligand to characterize R_i adenosine receptors in rat cerebral cortex membranes. The binding is saturable, reversible, stereospecific and dependent on protein concentration. The specific binding at 37°C was of high affinity with an equilibrium dissociation constant K_D of 0.48 nmol/l and was saturable with 0.23 pmol of [¹²⁵I]HPIA per mg of protein. The rate constant of association, k₁, was 3.25×10⁸ l mol^–1 min^–1 and that of dissociation, k₂, 0.0110 min^–1 yielding a t_1/2 of 63 min. In competition experiments the (–)isomer of N⁶-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) was 16-fold more potent than the (+)isomer in competing for the binding sites. Specific binding was most effectively displaced by N⁶-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA, k_i=0.26 nmol/l), (–)PIA (k_i=0.33 nmol/l) and HPIA (k_i=0.52 nmol/l), whereas 5-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA, k_i-1.42 nmol/l) was less effective. The methylxanthines 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), theophylline and caffeine which have been classified as adenosine antagonists had k_i values between 5–34 mol/l. Binding of [¹²⁵I]HPIA was regulated by guanine nucleotides and divalent cations. The results indicate that [¹²⁵I]HPIA labels R_i adenosine receptors in rat brain membranes.     

Iodine-125 labeled phenylphosphonic acid: A new radiopharmaceutical for long-term investigations of the skeleton

A skeletal seeking radiopharmaceutical labeled with a long-lived radionuclide was developed to evaluate regional bone formation and its subsequent resorption. The agent is [phosphonate (phenylmethylene hydroxy) bis]-I-125 or I-125 PA. Tissue distribution studies in mice (N=16) showed approximately 40% of the administered dose to be retained by the skeleton up to 336 hours post IV injection. The percentage of the dose accumulated by the thyroid gland remained at less than 0.5%, indicating minimal deiodination of the I-125 PA. Whole body retention studies in the same species revealed a triexponential release pattern with the longest component comprising 33% of the dose with a biologic half-life of 962 days. A fractured rat tibia model was studied with I-125 PA and Tc-99^m MDP. Chronic loss of the I-125 PA relative to normal tibia was quantitated: five days (62.8%); 30 days (47.4%). Concomitant increased uptake of the Tc-99^m MDP was observed at the fracture site relative to normal: five days (186%); 30 days (1,041%). The above data suggest that I-125 PA can be utilized to measure acute bone formation and chronic resorption.     

血清CA125检测在子宫内膜癌中的价值

目的探讨血清CA125在子宫内膜癌中的价值.方法选取1992年3月～2002年3月在北京大学第一附属医院、北京大学人民医院住院经手术治疗的子宫内膜癌患者141例,术前及随访中用放射免疫法测定血清CA125水平,CA125≥35 U/ml 为阳性结果.对其中14例行子宫内膜癌组织CA125免疫组化方法检测.收集患者的临床病理资料,分析CA125与这些资料的关系以及复发患者复发前后CA125变化.结果 CA125免疫组化检测14例均呈阳性,阳性细胞着色率与血清CA125之间无明显相关.141例患者术前血清CA125阳性32例(22.7%), Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ和Ⅳ期患者血清CA125阳性(阳性率)分别为11例(12.1%)、6例(31.6%)、12例(46.2%)和3例(60.0%). 血清CA125阳性率随子宫内膜癌期别的增加而升高.深肌层浸润、宫颈受累、附件转移、腹腔洗液细胞学阳性、盆腔淋巴结转移及宫内肿瘤病灶≥2 cm者,血清CA125阳性率增加.随访中13例复发,其中9例术前血清CA125＞35 U/ml者复发时均伴血清CA125水平升高,而另4例术前血清CA125正常者,复发后血清CA125水平仍正常.结论子宫内膜癌患者术前血清CA125的测量有助于了解肿瘤的侵犯范围.术前血清CA125水平异常的子宫内膜癌患者,术后定期复查血清CA125水平,将有助于子宫内膜癌病情的监测.
