Background: In internal radiation therapy of cancer, optimal targeting ligand and type therapeutic radionuclide must be considered carefully for effective treatment. addition, nuclide may vary depending on diverse parameters characterizing the tumor. Thus, use in various cancers, there is a need development carrier that can firmly bind to variety nuclides. Here we introduce biocompatible iron o...

The present study examines the extent of spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption in healthy individuals in relation to physical activity, CSF production, intracranial pressure (ICP), and spinal CSF movement. Thirty-four healthy individuals aged 21-35 yr were examined by lumbar puncture and radionuclide cisternography with repeated imaging. ICP was registered before and after CSF drainage, a...

The detection of regional asynergy provides strong evidence for a critical reduction of coronary blood flow to that zone. In the present study, the usefulness of combining computer-assisted radionuclide angiography and isometric handgrip exercise testing to detect coronary heart disease (CHD) was evaluated. One hundred twenty-nine patients with chest pain undergoing cardiac catheterization were...

BACKGROUND To investigate the effect of oral caffeine intake on choroidal thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Eighteen otherwise healthy caffeine users and 18 controls were enrolled. All participants underwent OCT scanning with high-speed and resolution spectral-domain OCT device (3D OCT 2000, Topcon, Japan) at baseline, and 1 and 3 h following 200-mg oral caffeine int...

This fMRI study was designed to investigate the effect of cross-modal conditioning in 28 female volunteers. Subjects underwent initial fMRI block design scanning during which three pleasant olfactory stimuli were presented and had to be rated with respect to intensity and pleasantness. This was followed by an odor identification task spread out over 3 days: the experimental group was rewarded f...

Abstract Vietnam has little data on radionuclide concentrations in milk, despite steadily increasing domestic consumption. Eight milk brands were investigated by gamma-spectrometry, and the resulting ingestion dose was calculated. The 232 Th, 226 Ra, 137 Cs, 40 K varied from 0.60 ± 0.19 to 1.21 0.24, 1.45 0.18 2.45 below detection limit 0.13 0.06, 341 6 387 7 Bq/kg (dry w.t). total average Annu...

High-impact exercise has been considered an important method for treating bone loss in osteopenic experimental models. In this study, we investigated the effects of osteopenia caused by inactivity in femora and tibiae of rats subjected to jump training using the rat tail suspension model. Eight-week-old female Wistar rats were divided into five groups (n=10 each group): jump training for 2 week...
