Efficient production and purification of P radioisotope from sulfur by dry distillation: A practical approach with high radiochemical purity.

The P radioisotope, with a half-life of 14.3 days and an energy level of 1.71 MeV, has diverse applications in medicine and research.

Development of a polystyrene-based microplastic model for bioaccumulation and biodistribution study using radiotracing and nuclear analysis method.

The investigation of micro or nano plastics behavior in the environment is essential to minimize the hazards of such pollutants on humans. While the conventional method requires sophisticated procedures and a lot of animal subjects, the nuclear technique confers a sensitive, accurate, and real-time method using radiolabeled micro or nano plastics as a tracer. In this study, polystyrene sulfonate-based microplastic (PSM) was developed with a size of around 3.

Phytosynthesis of gold-198 nanoparticles for a potential therapeutic radio-photothermal agent.

We produced spherical gold-198 nanoparticles with an average size of 41 nm, good stability, and high radiochemical purity for a promising single agent of radio-photothermal therapy using Curcuma longa rhizome extract as a reducing and capping agent. The combination of in vitro treatment using gold-198 nanoparticles and irradiation of 980 nm wavelength lasers with a power output of 2 W/cm induced hyperthermia temperature and exhibited enhancement of the percentage dead on MDA-MB-123 cancer cells compared to gold-198 nanoparticles alone.

Lutetium-177-Labeled Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen-617 for Molecular Imaging and Targeted Radioligand Therapy of Prostate Cancer.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) represents a promising target for PSMA-overexpressing diseases, especially prostate cancer-a common type of cancer among men worldwide. In response to the challenges in tackling prostate cancers, several promising PSMA inhibitors from a variety of molecular scaffolds (e.g.

Iodine-131 radiolabeled polyvinylchloride: A potential radiotracer for micro and nanoplastics bioaccumulation and biodistribution study in organisms.

The microplastics amount in the environment is significantly increasing due to human activity, and the hazards are still being investigated. To evaluate the fate of microplastics in organisms, an accurate, fast, and sensitive method is required. Nuclear technology harnessing radiotracer is one of the most sensitive and accurate method for bioaccumulation, biodistribution and biokinetic study.
