This study evaluated the effects of total colectomy on the biodistribution of technetium-99m pertechnetate ((99m)TcO(4)(-)) on the 28th postoperative day in rats. Samples of several organs were harvested for counting the percent of injected radioactivity/g of tissue (%ATI/g). The %ATI/g in colectomy rats was higher in the stomach and ileum than in sham and controls (p<0.05). Increase in mucosa and muscularis size of ileum was observed. Colectomy was associated with lower biodistribution in bladder and thyroid, T3, and T4, than in controls.

Article Synopsis
- * The study developed a method for radiolabeling anthocyanins and nanoencapsulating them using citrus pectin and lysozyme, resulting in structures that are 190 nm in size and have a consistent spherical shape.
- * Findings showed that nanoencapsulated anthocyanins are absorbed more effectively than free anthocyanins in mice, with improved delivery to various organs, which may enhance their biological effects and potential medical applications.
Tc-Labeled D-Type PTP as a Plectin-Targeting Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography Probe for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Imaging.

Plectin, a scaffolding protein overexpressed in tumor cells, plays a significant role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) proliferation, invasion, and migration. However, the use of L-type peptides for targeting plectin is hindered by their limited stability and retention. We designed a D-type plectin-targeting peptide (PTP) and developed a novel single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) probe for HCC imaging.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Tc-fucoidan, a compound derived from brown algae, which targets P-selectin for early identification of thrombosis.
- In the safety assessment involving ten healthy volunteers, Tc-fucoidan was well tolerated with no adverse effects and demonstrated reliable uptake in human thrombi in gamma counting experiments.
- Although the results showed potential for imaging thrombi in certain cases, the overall findings do not support further clinical use of Tc-fucoidan for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), suggesting exploration of alternative P-selectin tracers instead.

Unlabelled: This study investigates the synthesis and radiolabeling of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) with the radioisotope technetium-99 m (Tc) using a solvothermal method in methanol. The methanolic medium facilitated the formation of nanoparticles with favorable characteristics, including a smaller particle size (198 ± 9.8 nm) and a low polydispersity index (PDI = 0.

Heterodimer peptides targeting more than one receptor can be advantageous, as tumors can simultaneously express more than one receptor type. For human breast cancer, a promising biological target is tumor angiogenesis through αβ integrin expression. Another promising target is Neuropeptide Y receptors, considering YR is overexpressed in 90% of human breast tumors.
