Article Synopsis
- Cell therapy using autologous bone marrow-derived CD133 cells has shown potential in treating patients with refractory angina, particularly focusing on its safety and initial effectiveness.
- In a trial involving 10 patients with left ventricular dysfunction, the delivery of these cells via a minimally invasive procedure resulted in improved myocardial perfusion and heart function at the 6-month mark.
- The study also found correlations between enhanced heart perfusion and the levels of certain proangiogenic and anti-inflammatory cytokines released by the CD133 cells, suggesting a mechanism for the observed benefits.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare preoperative SPECT/CT with gamma-probe and methylene blue-dye (MBD) in the identification of sentinel lymph node (SLN) in early stage endometrial cancer.
Methods: 40 stage-I EC patients (66.7 ± 9.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of care in patients who underwent sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping for endometrial and cervical cancer staging, and evaluate the impact of different techniques on patient satisfaction, i.e. radiotracer Tc99m versus indocyanine green (ICG) or methylene blue injection.

Lymphadenectomy with removal of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) is now evolving towards the concept of radio guided surgery as an instrument for the removal of the lymph nodes of primary drainage.
Methods: From October 2012 to September 2013 laparotomic SLN dissection was performed in 43 patients during standard open radical prostatectomy.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess whether there is an additional value of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) over lymphoscintigraphy (LSG) alone for sentinel node (SN) mapping in endometrial and cervical cancer.
Methods: Ten women with clinically cervical stage IA2 to stage IB1 and 25 women with stage I endometrial cancer underwent preoperative LSG for SN mapping. Technetium Tc 99m albumin nanocolloid was injected submucosally at 4 points of the cervix.
