203Pb-labeled alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone peptide as an imaging probe for melanoma detection.

Peptide-targeted alpha-therapy with 7.4 MBq of (212)Pb-[1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid]-ReO-[Cys(3,4,10),d-Phe(7),Arg(11)]alpha-MSH(3-13) ((212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH) cured 45% of B16/F1 murine melanoma-bearing C57 mice in a 120-d study, highlighting its melanoma treatment potential. However, there is a need to develop an imaging surrogate for patient-specific dosimetry and to monitor the tumor response to (212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH therapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH as a matched-pair SPECT agent for (212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH. METHODS: DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH was labeled with (203)Pb in 0.5 M NH(4)OAc buffer at pH 5.4. The internalization and efflux of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH were determined in B16/F1 melanoma cells. The pharmacokinetics of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH was examined in B16/F1 melanoma-bearing C57 mice. A micro-SPECT/CT study was performed with (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH in a B16/F1 melanoma-bearing C57 mouse at 2 h after injection. RESULTS: (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH was easily prepared in NH(4)OAc buffer and completely separated from the excess nonradiolabeled peptide by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH displayed fast internalization and extended retention in B16/F1 cells. Approximately 73% of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH activity internalized after a 20-min incubation at 25 degrees C. After incubation of the cells in culture medium for 20 min, 78% of internalized activity remained in the cells. (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH exhibited a biodistribution pattern similar to that of (212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH in B16/F1 melanoma-bearing mice. (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH exhibited a peak tumor uptake of 12.00+/-3.20 percentage injected dose per gram (%ID/g) at 1 h after injection. The tumor uptake gradually decreased to 3.43+/-1.12 %ID/g at 48 h after injection. (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH exhibited a peak tumor-to-kidney uptake ratio of 1.53 at 2 h after injection. The absorbed doses to the tumor and kidneys were 4.32 and 4.35 Gy, respectively, per 37 MBq. Whole-body clearance of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH was fast, with approximately 89% of the injected activity cleared through the urinary system by 2 h after injection. (203)Pb showed 1.6-mm SPECT resolution, which was comparable to (99m)Tc. Melanoma lesions were visualized through SPECT/CT images of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH at 2 h after injection. CONCLUSION: (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH exhibited favorable pharmacokinetic and tumor imaging properties, highlighting its potential as a matched-pair SPECT agent for (212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH melanoma treatment.

目的：探讨新生大鼠内毒素休克脑损伤时脑一氧化氮合成酶(NO6)三种亚型基因表达的变化及地塞米松(DEX)对其的调控作用。方法：在新生大鼠内毒素休克动物模型基础上，采用逆转录PCR及PCR技术，对脑组织中三型NOS mRNA及caspase—3 mRNA的表达进行半定量分析。结果：正常新生大鼠脑iNOS及eNOS mRNA无明显表达，nNOS mRNA、caspase—3 mRNA有一定程度表达。内毒素脂多糖(LPS)腹腔注射后2h，三种亚型NOS mRNA开始表达，于LPS6h达高峰，并持续至24h。caspase—3 mRNA于LPS腹腔注射后2h后表达逐渐增加，24h达高峰。DEX可抑制nNOS、iNOS及caspase—3 mRNA的表达，且以用药后2h最为明显，并持续至用药后24h。结论：内毒素休克脑损伤时，各型NOS均有表达，NO的产生是内毒素休克脑损伤时重要的病理生理机制之一。DEX通过抑制NOS、caspase—3 mRNA的表达部分实现其神经保护作用．     

Compatibility in vitro of albumin-heme (O(2) carrier) with blood cell components

Recombinant human serum albumin including 2-[8-[N-(2-methylimidazolyl)]octanoyloxymethyl]-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(alpha,alpha,alpha,alpha-o-pivaloylamino)phenylporphinatoiron(II) (albumin-heme; rHSA-FeP) is a synthetic hemoprotein that has sufficient capability to reversibly bind and release O(2) under physiological conditions (pH 7.3, 37 degrees C) similar to hemoglobin and myoglobin. In order to use this albumin-based O(2) carrier as a new class of red blood cell substitutes, its compatibility with blood cell components carefully was investigated in vitro. After the addition of the rHSA-FeP solution into whole blood at 10, 20, and 44 vol %, the FeP concentration in the plasma phase remained constant for 6 h at 37 degrees C in each group, and no significant time dependence was observed in the numbers of red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. The microscopic observations clearly showed that the shapes of the red blood cells had not been deformed during the measurement period. With respect to the blood coagulation parameters (prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time), the coexistence of rHSA-FeP had only a negligibly small influence. Also the blood compatibility under dynamic flow conditions was evaluated using a microchannel array flow analyzer. All these results suggest that the albumin-heme has no effect on the morphology of blood cell components in vitro.     

Anticoagulation therapy for pulmonary embolism involving a myxoma mimicking,giant type C thrombus: A case report

Right heart thrombus (RHTh) with concurrent acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is rare and can seriously destabilize hemodynamics, leading to an emergency situation with high mortality. Diagnosis and treatment of RHTh with acute PE are not yet standardized. There are few reports of acute PE concurrent with RHTh and even less is known about patients with a right heart mural thrombus. For physicians, the diagnostic choice and treatment of these patients are particularly difficult due to the lack of knowledge. Here, we report a rare case of partial mural RHTh (type C RHTh) with acute PE. The mural mass in the right heart was initially diagnosed as atrial myxoma according to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and both pulmonary embolus and the mural mass were completely absorbed after administering Rivaroxiban. This case suggests that TTE alone is insufficient to identify and diagnoses a right heart mural mass such as this. However, novel oral anticoagulants may be effective at alleviating PE with type C RHTh.
