The aim of this review is to report on the value of 11C-choline PET imaging as a diagnostic procedure for metastasis-directed therapies. Furthermore, the role of 11C-choline PET/CT as a diagnostic tool for monitoring castration-resistant prostate cancer patients treated with systematic therapy is assessed. Finally, the role of 11C-choline PET/CT in the prediction of survival in both castration-...

PURPOSE The efficacy of the reduction time (tau) after castration as a prognostic factor was examined by comparing to Gleason score. MATERIALS AND METHODS The change of prostatic volume after castration was observed from the castration to 3 months after in 24 cases of prostatic cancer. Prostatic volume was examined by transrectal ultrasonography of the prostate. Survival curves was calculated...

Sexually mature rams were left intact, castrated (wethers), castrated and implanted with testosterone, or castrated, implanted with testosterone and pulse-infused every hour with LHRH. Serum concentrations of LH increased rapidly during the first week after castration and at 14 days had reached values of 13.1 +/- 2.2 ng/ml (mean +/- s.e.m.) and were characterized by a rhythmic, pulsatile patter...

Twenty four male Thai native × Anglo-Nubian crossbred goats were randomly allocated to receive four treatments. The experiment was conducted for four months and slaughtered that the Longissimus dorsi muscle was collected for fatty acid analysis. The results conclude that either castrated method or ages had no significantly different on monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) (P>0.05) except erucic ac...
