Objective: The development of new radiopharmaceuticals capable specifically imaging cancer is an important research area. For this reason, the aim study to investigate cell binding novel developed nanoradiopharmaceutical ([99mTc]Tc-nab-PTX) on HT-29 line (human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells).
 Material and Method: In study, nab-PTX was labeled with [99mTc]Tc, labeling efficiency in vitro...

Some advanced cancer patients suffer from pungent sulfury malodor. To determine the chemical identity of the odorant, we performed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry analysis of volatiles from fungating cancer wounds. We identified the source of the characteristic smell as dimethyl trisulfide, a compound that is known to be emitted from some vegetables and microorganisms. Control...

The stimulatory effect of GSSG on the reduction of cytochrome c by GSH has been shown to be due to SO-containing impurities; GSSG itself has no stimulatory effect. Methods are described for the production of such impurities in high yield. Similar effects are shown by cystine trisulfide. The stimulation of the cytochrome c reduction rate has been found to be catalytic; one molecule of cystine tr...

UNLABELLED Acute lower gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage (LGIH) has significant morbidity and mortality outcomes. Although several causes of LGIH can be life threatening, most can be effectively treated; therefore, early detection and accurate localization of bleeding sites are critical for successful patient management. METHODS This study was a phantom experimental study with a repeated-meas...

Technetium-99m sulphur colloid (99mTc-SC) scintigraphy is a commonly used method in the assessment of peritoneopleuric leak in cases of liver insufficiency [1-4]. A 40 years old patient with alcoholic cirrhosis liver insufficiency, ascitis and hepatic encephalopathy was severely dyspnoic due to large right sided pleural effusion. A 99mTc-SC peritoneo-pleuric scintigraphy was performed. A 1.5 in...
