Automated radiolabelling of [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 (gallium (Ga)-gozetotide) using the Locametz® kit and two generators.

Background: Steps have been taken by pharmaceutical companies to obtain marketing authorisation of PSMA ligands in the European Union. Since December 2022, Locametz® (PSMA-11, gozetotide) is licensed as kit for manual radiolabelling with gallium-68 and commercially available since mid-2023. The Summary of Product Characteristic (SmPC) describes manual radiolabelling with a maximum activity after radiolabelling of 1369 MBq.

Environmental impact assessment of a novel third-generation biorefinery approach for astaxanthin and biofuel production.

A novel third-generation biorefinery approach, including two paths of Ethanol/methane production pathway (EMP) and the direct methane production pathway (DMP), for astaxanthin and ethanol and biogas production from the freshwater microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis was developed previously. To ensure its environmental sustainability, a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) study was conducted based on 1-GJ energy generation from biomethane as the functional unit. Results indicate that the EMP pathway had higher environmental impacts on all categories due to more stages and chemicals/energy consumption (at least five times greater effect).

Engineering minimal tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase targeting MMPs via gene shuffling and yeast surface display.

Overexpression of specific matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has a key role in development of several diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases due to their critical role in degradation and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), a family of four in humans, are endogenous inhibitors of MMPs. TIMPs have a high level of sequence and structure homology, with a broad range of binding and inhibition to the family of MMPs.

Efficient superantioxidant and biofuel production from microalga Haematococcus pluvialis via a biorefinery approach.

A biorefinery approach was implemented to produce a superantixoident, i.e., astaxanthin, and biofuels, i.

Histopathological features of cutaneous and gastric habronemiasis in horse.

The aim of study was to describe clinico histopathological manifestations of cutaneous and gastric habronemiasis in horse. The adult worms live on the wall of the stomach and cutaneous of the host without internal migration. A 5 year old 700 kg warm-blood, cross gelding was referred to the Tehran School of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

Prevalence of ixodid ticks on cattle and sheep northeast of Iran.

A survey was carried out to investigate the prevalence of hard tick species (Acari: Ixodidae) on cattle and sheep north of Iran. The aim of study was to determine the prevalence of hard ticks on cattle and sheep in the mountainous areas of Golestan province and their geographical distribution. A total of 26 ticks were collected from 22 infested cattle and 26 ticks were collected from 12 infested sheep during activating seasons of ticks in 2013-2014.

Kindling-induced learning deficiency and possible cellular and molecular involved mechanisms.

Hippocampus learning disturbance is a major symptom of patients with seizure, hence hippocampal dysfunction has essential role in worsening the disease. Hippocampal formation includes neurons and myelinated fibers that are necessary for acquisition and consolidation of memory, long-term potentiation and learning activity. The exact mechanism by which seizure can decrease memory and learning activity of hippocampus remains unknown.
