Objective: We aimed to synthesize diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-deoxyglucose (DTPA-DG) radiolabeled with (188)Re and to evaluate its biologic characteristics using mammary tumor-bearing mice.
Materials And Methods: The biodistribution of the radiolabeled compound was determined by tissue counting at 3, 12, and 24 hours after injection in experimental animals. Scintigraphic examinations of nude mice bearing breast cancer (MCF-7 cells) were performed after (188)Re-DTPA-DG (18.5 MBq) was injected in the tail vein. For the tumor inhibitory portion of this work, tumor volumes were measured and recorded every 3 days until the 21st day after injection.
Results: The radiochemical purity of (188)Re-DTPA-DG was 95.0%. Based on biodistribution measurements, (188)Re-DTPA-DG was taken up at high levels by the tumor. The mean tumoral percent injected dosages per gram (% ID/g) were 1.98 +/- 0.29 (SD), 2.89 +/- 0.43, and 0.42 +/- 0.06 % ID/g at 3, 12, and 24 hours, respectively, after injection. In the (188)Re-DTPA-DG scintigraphic examinations, the tumors were clearly delineated on the images recorded 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after injection. In the tumor inhibitory evaluations, the tumor volume of the (188)Re-DTPA-DG-treated group increased more slowly than that of the control groups, which were treated with (188)Re-perrhenate or saline (p < 0.01). Rhenium-188-DTPA-DG showed excellent tumor targeting and tumor growth suppression properties on MCF-7 tumor cells.
Conclusion: Rhenium-188-DTPA-DG may be a potential agent for the diagnosis and radiotherapy of tumors.

Open or arthroscopic repair of hamstring tear requires both hard and soft, posterior and proximal thigh analgesia. Regional injections to completely relieve this unique pain are not available to the best of our knowledge. We present a novel, single injection, performed under ultrasound guidance, that utilizes the deep piriformis space.

Microtextured microneedles are tiny needle-like structures with micron-scale microtextures, and the drugs stored in the microtextures can be released after entering the skin to achieve the effect of precise drug delivery. In this study, the skin substitution model of Ogden's hyperelastic model and the microneedle array and microtexture models with different geometrical parameters were selected to simulate and analyse the flow of the microtexture microneedle arrays penetrating the skin by the finite-element method, and the length of the microneedles was determined to be 200 μm, the width 160 μm, and the value of the gaps was determined to be 420 μm. A four-pronged cone was chosen as the shape of microneedles, and a rectangle was chosen as the shape of the drug-carrying microneedle.

The aim of the study was to investigate the potential preventive use of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to modulate inflammatory responses in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) skin. Initially, in vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of various concentrations of butyric acid, acetic acid and propionic acid, as well as their combination, on the cytotoxicity and cell viability of three different cell lines. The results determined the safe concentration of SCFAs, which was then used for an in vivo study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the management of chemoimmunotherapy-resistant ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) with iodine-125 (I-125) brachytherapy.
Methods: A 36-year-old man presented to the clinic with biopsy-proven OSSN that covered ∼70% of the corneal surface and extended to the 6 o'clock position of the inferior limbus of the OS. The visual acuity was 20/20 in the OD and 20/40 in the affected OS.

Background: Anesthetic irrigation is an effective treatment for postoperative pain suppression in patients after molar extraction, but exerts a short period of extraction. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of lidocaine with epinephrine irrigation on acute pain relief in healthy volunteers with inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) injection for the surgical removal of mesioangular (MA)-impacted third molars.
Methods: A total of 28 patients (56 samples) with bilateral MA-impacted third molars were recruited.
