A theoretical compartment model for antigen kinetics in the skin.
The skin is a promising location for vaccination with its abundant population of antigen capturing and presenting cells. The development of new techniques, such as the use of microneedles, can facilitate the delivery of vaccines into the skin. In recent years, many different types of microneedle arrays have been designed. However, their geometry and arrangement within an array may be optimized ...
متن کاملComparison of technetium-99m MAG3 with iodine-131 hippuran by a simultaneous dual channel technique.
Technetium-99m MAG3, a technetium-labeled analog of hippuran, was compared with [131I] hippuran using a simultaneous dual isotope study in 20 patients. The plasma clearance for MAG3 was lower than that of hippuran, but its plasma concentration was higher, resulting in similar rates of excretion and similar renal time-activity curves. Apart from better statistics with the technetium-labeled agen...
متن کاملUse of technetium-99m-MAG3 for renal scintigraphy after angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition.
Technetium-99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG3) was tested in 82 hypertensive patients submitted to renal scintigraphy 1 hr after oral premedication with 50 mg of Captopril. Baseline studies were obtained only for those patients showing abnormal findings in the provocative study. All patients underwent renal arteriography. Sensitivity and specificity for the detection of renal artery steno...
متن کاملThe difference in clearance between kit-prepared technetium-99m-MAG3 and radioiodinated hippuric acid.
extended disability and income loss . . . " To this we have to add expenses from possible anti-thyroid drugs in the interim as well as potential side effects from these medications (2). 3. The results of retreatment with radioiodide have been analyzed in some detail (J). If we define "cured" of hyperthyroidism as being euthyroid or hypothyroid, then expressions are available for describing the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics
Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria. Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...
