Methods 32 pstients with bladder cancer and 5 with normal bladder were studied. Rll was performed 1 hour after intravesical administration of 111-222 MBq 99m Tc-BDI-1 followed by washing out and perfusing bladder with 50 ml PBS. The radioactivity ratio of target over background (C T/C B) was calculated. Results The radiochemical purity of 99m Tc-BDI-1 Wasgreater than 95%. Rll showed radioactive accumulation area for most of bladder c0ancers but no radio-active concentration for normal bladder. The sensitivity and specificity were 91 .7% and 81 .8% respectively with the assignment of the positive criterion of C T/C B≥ 1.40. There was no statistical difference in sensitivity between tumors with diameters ≥ 1 cm (1. 0-4.2 cm) and < 1 cm (0.2-0.8 cm). C T/C B was related to the pathological grade (G 1-G 3) of the tumor. Conclusions Rll by intravesical administration provides a new noninvasive method for the diagnosis of bladder cancer in morphology and in nature of tumor with high sensitivity and specificity. It may be used for the early diagnosis of bladder cancer, follow-up after surgery, and diagnosis of in situ tumor.展开更多

The cause of the complication is considered to be due to emboli caused by the femur prosthesis insertion. The purpose of the present study was to detect the pulmonary embolism in rabbits after bone cement perfusion by radioimmunoimaging, and to explore its protective measures. Methods Forty rabbits, 2.5-3.0 kg weight, were randomly assigned to four groups, with ten rabbits in each group. Group I （no intervention）： Bone cement perfusion was done after medullary cavity reaming and pressurizing. Group II （epinephrine hydrochlorideintervention）： The medullary cavity was rinsed with a 1：10000 normal saline-diluted epinephrine hydrochloride solution followed by bone cement perfusion after medullary cavity reaming and pressurizing. Group III （fibrin sealant intervention）： The medullary cavity was precoated with fibrin sealant followed by bone cement perfusion after medullary cavity reaming and pressurizing. Group IV （blank control group）： The medullary cavity was not perfused with bone cement after reaming. In each group, the rabbits underwent femoral head resection and medullary cavity reaming. Before bone cement perfusion, 2 ml of developing tracer was injected through the ear vein. Radionuclide imaging was performed at 60, 120, and 180 minutes after bone cement perfusion, and the pulmonary radioactivity in vivo was measured. The rabbits were immediately sacrificed, and the pulmonary tissue was removed and its radioactivity was measured in vitro. Pulmonary tissue was then fixed and the pulmonary embolism and the associated pathological changes were observed. Results The pulmonary radioactivity in vivo was measured at 60, 120, and 180 minutes after bone cement perfusion. The radioactivities of the four groups were 11.67±2.16, 14.59±2.92 and 18.43±4.83 in group I; 8.37±3.05, 10.35±2.24 and 11.48±2.96 in group Ⅱ; 3.91±1.19, 5.5展开更多

METHODS： Two- and three-step strategies for avidinbiotin system pretargeting techniques were established. In a three-step procedure, human colon carcinoma bearing nude mice were first injected with biotinylated monoclonal antibody （McAb-Bt） followed by cold avidin （Av） 48 h later and then 153^Sm-DB2 24 h thereafter; whereas the twostep procedure consisted of injection of 153^Sm-SA 48 h after pretargeting with biotinylated anti-CEA monoclonal antibody （CEA McAb-Bt）. SPECT imaging and biodistribution were performed at 4, 24, 48, or 72 h after injection of 153^Sm-labeled compounds. Five groups of nude mice subcutaneously grafted with human colon carcinoma were treated 3 d after grafting. One group received the injection with 100 μg CEA McAb-Bt followed by cold avidin （80 μg） after 2 d and 11.1 MBCl I53Sm-DB2 after 1 d. Four control groups were treated respectively with 11.1 MBq 153^Sm- CEA McAb, ii.i MBq 153^Sm-nmIgG, ii.i MBq 153^Sm-DB2, 100 μL normal saline. Toxicity was evaluated by changes of leukocyte count, and the efficacy by variation in tumor volume. Histological analyses of tumors were performed. RESULTS： The three-step procedure allowed faster blood clearance and yielded higher tumor blood ratios （5.76 at 4 h and 12.94 at 24 h） of the 153^Sm-DB2. The tumor was clearly visualized at 4 h in y-imaging after the injection of 153^Sm-DB2, while a significant accumulation of 153^Sm-SA in the tumor was observed only 24 h after the injection and tumor blood ratios at 4 and 24 h were 1.00 and 2.03, respectively, in the two-step procedure. Pretargeting RIT and 153^Sm-CEA McAb had a strong tumor-inhibiting effect.The tumor inhibitory rate was 80.67% and 78.44%, respectively, five weeks after therapy. Histopathological evidence also indicated radioactive damage in tumor tissues as necrosis of tum展开更多

The resulting ScFv genes were electrotransformed into E. coli TG1 and amplified with the co-infection of helper phage M13KO7 to obtain phage display library. The capacity and titer of the resulting library were detected. The phage antibody library with a capacity of approximately 3 × 10^9 cfu/μg was obtained. After amplification with helper phage, the titer of antibody library reached 5 μ 10^12 cfu/mL. Human ScFv library against ovarian tumor was constructed successfully, which laid a foundation for the screening of ovarian tumor specific ScFv for the radioimmunoimaging diagnosis of ovarian tumor.展开更多
