Aim: To estimate sympathetic activity in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) complicated by chronic cardiac failure (CCF) depending on the volume of viable myocardium measured by dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE).
Material And Methods: Planar myocardial I-231-MIBG scintigraphy and dobutamine stress echocardiography were made in 16 patients (9 males and 7 females) aged 43-75 years with CCF (NYHA class II-III) and ejection fraction under 35%. The ratio maximal MIBG absorption in the left ventricular myocardium to maximal MIBG absorption in the mediastenum (H/M) and lung (H/L) were estimated.
Results: By DSE the patients were divided into two groups: responders in whom contractility improved by 4 and more points (9 patients) and non-responders in whom contractility improved by less than 4 scores (7 patients). The groups did not differ by clinical and hemodynamic parameters but group 2 patients had significantly lower H/M and H/L than group 1 patients (1.38 +/- 0.02 and 1.08 +/- 0.06 against 1.61 +/- 0.09 and 1.25 +/- 0.12, respectively, p < 0.05). A direct correlation was found between MIBG absorption (H/M, H/L) and ejection fraction on minimal dobutamine doses (r = 0.77, p < 0.01; r = 0.87, p < 0.001), gain in ejection fraction (r = 0.77, p < 0.01; r = 0.45, p < 0.05), and inverse correlation between MIBG absorption (H/M, H/L) and dyssynergia index on minimal dobutamine doses (r = -0.80, p < 0.001; r = -0.87, p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: Patients with CCF demonstrate a correlation between sympathetic activity and volume of viable myocardium, inotropic reserve.

Gastrointestinal tract absorption of cationic anticancer drugs and medicines was estimated using whole-body imaging following oral [I]MIBG administration. [I]MIBG was added to cultures of human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 cells expressing human organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)2B1, carnitine/organic cation transporter (OCTN)1 and OCTN2, and organic cation transporter (OCT)1, OCT2, and OCT3 with and without cimetidine (an OCTN and OCT inhibitor) and L-carnitine (an OCTN inhibitor). Biodistribution analyses and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging in normal and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced experimental colitis mice were conducted using [I]MIBG with and without cimetidine.

Neuroblastoma causes 15% of cancer mortality in children. High risk neuroblastoma has poor prognosis, with high relapse rate and mortality despite multimodal treatment. 123-I-meta-iodo-benzyl-guanidine (mIBG) scintigraphy is one of the current standard diagnostic procedures in neuroblastoma.

Purpose: To compare the prediction of therapeutic hepatic radiation-absorbed dose rates from tracer imaging plus a linearity assumption to estimation based on intra-therapy imaging in (131)I metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) therapy of refractory neuroblastoma.
Materials And Methods: Conjugate-view images of the liver were obtained before therapy for seven patients at seven times after a tracer infusion of (131)I MIBG and at three times after the therapy infusion. Measured liver activities were converted to dose-rate estimates.

The presentation of pheochromocytoma is quite variable. We report a case of previously undiscovered pheochromocytoma which was manifested by traumatic retroperitoneal hemorrhage. A 79-year-old man fell from his bicycle and was admitted to the emergency room complaining of right flank pain.
