The effects of the presence of mammary tumors on 75Se retention was examined in DMBA-treated rats. Tumor bearing rats fed varying amounts of Se exhibited an inverse linear dose response between dietary Se intake and tissue retention of 75Se in whole body, heart, lungs, ovaries, adrenals, spleen, and muscle. Tumor 75Se retention, however, was independent of the dietary intake of Se. Tumor bearing rats excreted more 75 Se label in the urine compared to both control rats fed the same amount of Se and DMBA-treated animals that remained tumor free. In the short term, no significant differences were seen in tissue retention of 75Se. By 7 d, the increased urinary excretion of the label resulted in significantly decreased retention of 75Se in blood, spleen, liver, lungs, and kidneys of tumor-bearing rats compared to tumor-free animals. The presence of tumors, however, did not affect the liver distribution of the label among cytosolic proteins. These results suggest that tumor bearing animals have an accelerated urinary excretion of Se compared to animals without tumors and that tumors either have a very slow turnover of Se or a low priority for the element.

Prospective comparison of diagnostic tests for bile acid diarrhoea.

Article Synopsis
- Bile acid diarrhoea is often overlooked due to the limited availability of the SeHCAT test, which is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, and there are concerns regarding the diagnostic performance of empirical treatments and the less sensitive C4 blood tests.* -
- A study involving 251 patients assessed the effectiveness of both the SeHCAT test and various methods including empirical treatment and C4 levels, finding that while empirical treatment showed moderate sensitivity and specificity, a decision tree model combining C4 and stool patterns provided better results.* -
- The research concluded that the existing methods for diagnosing bile acid diarrhoea are insufficient, but improvements in C4 testing and alternative diagnostic models could enhance sensitivity and accessibility, warranting further validation
Efficacy and safety of colesevelam for the treatment of bile acid diarrhoea: a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 4 clinical trial.

Background: Bile acid diarrhoea is a common but overlooked cause of chronic watery diarrhoea. Plasma 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4) is an alternative to the gold standard tauroselcholic [Se] acid (SeHCAT) test. Low-certainty evidence supports sequestrant treatment, including colesevelam.

[75Se]tauroselcholic acid (SeHCAT) retention studies may be performed using a collimated or uncollimated (intrinsic) gamma camera, with trade-offs between counting sensitivity, collision risk, and stray source influence. In this work, we evaluate the uncertainty in SeHCAT studies performed in 'outer room' mode, where the patient sits or stands two metres away from the uncollimated camera face. 768 SeHCAT studies performed at the Royal Free Hospital were analysed retrospectively, and in all cases, the absolute uncertainty was found to be well within the clinically acceptable limit of ±1 percentage point at 15% retention.

Aim: There is increasing interest in using collimated gamma cameras for [75Se]tauroselcholic acid (SeHCAT) studies to image the distribution and to make use of the collimator pressure sensitive devices (PSD) for patient safety. However, the use of a collimator will substantially decrease the sensitivity of the gamma camera. The aim of this article is to enable departments to calculate the uncertainty of SeHCAT retention measurements so that the acquisition time can be optimised to perform a reliable SeHCAT study.
