Long-Term Therapeutic Effects of Ac-DOTA-E[c(RGDfK)] Induced by Radiosensitization via G2/M Arrest in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

: Alpha radionuclide therapy has emerged as a promising novel strategy for cancer treatment; however, the therapeutic potential of Ac-labeled peptides in pancreatic cancer remains uninvestigated. : In the cytotoxicity study, tumor cells were incubated with Ac-DOTA-RGD. DNA damage responses (γH2AX and 53BP1) were detected using flowcytometry or immunohistochemistry analysis.

Excimer LASER coronary atherectomy for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: Insights from a multicenter registry.

Background: Excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) is used for thrombotic culprit lesions in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but its effectiveness is still unclear.

Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 24 h of onset were retrospectively investigated. Patients were divided into ELCA and non-ELCA groups.

Active withdrawal of corticosteroids using tocilizumab and its association with autoantibody profiles in relapsed Takayasu arteritis: a multicentre, single-arm, prospective study (the Ab-TAK study).

Objectives: The feasibility of corticosteroid withdrawal (CW) for Takayasu arteritis (TAK) remains uncertain. Two autoantibodies (Abs) are identified against endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI) in TAK, determining its three subgroups. This study aimed to evaluate CW using tocilizumab (TCZ) and its association with the Ab profile.

Non-invasive electron paramagnetic resonance imaging detects tumor redox imbalance induced by ferroptosis.

Targeting ferroptosis, cell death caused by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides, and disruption of the redox balance are promising strategies in cancer therapy owing to the physiological characteristics of cancer cells. However, the detection of ferroptosis using imaging remains challenging. We previously reported that redox maps showing the reduction power per unit time of implanted tumor tissues via non-invasive redox imaging using a novel, compact, and portable electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) device could be compared with tumor tissue sections.

Three-dimensional whole-body imaging of the bioreduction and clearance of nitroxide probes in the thoracic and abdominal regions of mice using a compact and mobile electron paramagnetic resonance imager.

Purpose: Redox homeostasis plays a key role in regulating the overall health and development of organisms. This study aimed to develop a compact and mobile continuous-wave (CW) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imager to facilitate stable, highly sensitive fast three-dimensional (3D) whole-body imaging of nitroxide-infused mice.

Methods: A multiturn loop gap resonator with a diameter of 30 mm and length of 35 mm was designed for whole-body EPR imaging.
