Production of Holmium-166 DOTMP: A promising agent for bone marrow ablation in hematologic malignancies
Intoduction: Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are radiolabeled molecules to deliver sufficient doses of ionizing radiation to specific disease sites such as bone metastases, brain and liver tumors and bone marrows malignancies including multiple myeloma. Among some therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, 166Ho-1,4,7,10 -tetraazacyclo dodecane-1,4,7,10 tetraethy...
متن کاملThe Immunostimulatory Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria in a Rat Model
Background: Probiotics are “live”, beneficial microbes that provide important health benefits in their hosts. There is significant interest in the modulation and regulation of the immune function by probiotics. Objective: To investigate the immunomodulatory effects of a probiotic mixture, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, by detecting serum cytokine and immunoglobulin levels....
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Microsphere Radioembolization for Liver Malignancies: A Technical Overview
The incidence of the liver tumors is increasing worldwide; concurrently liver directed therapies are also evolving rapidly. Management of these complex disease processes involves a multidisciplinary approach, hence it is imperative to understand the underlying management principles thoroughly. This overview is intended to provide an easy, step by step approach to transcatheter brachytherapy, al...
متن کاملEffects of Intraluminal Irradiation with Holmium-166 for TIPS Stenosis: Experimental Study in a Swine Model
OBJECTIVE We wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of intraluminal irradiation with Holmium-166 ((166)Ho) for reducing the pseudointimal hyperplasia (PIH) in the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) tract in a swine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS TIPS was performed in 12 domestic pigs, after the creation of portal hypertension by intraportal injection of a mixture of N-butyl-2-cy...
