A radiolabeled amino acid O-[F]fluoromethyl-D-tyrosine (D-[F]FMT) has been reported to show high tumor uptake. However, introduction of [F]fluoromethyl group was difficult and was an issue to be solved. We solved it by using a precursor containing 1,2,3-triazolium salt. D-[F]FMT was synthesized from (R)-1-((4-(2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-((3,4-dimethylbenzyl)oxy)-3-oxopropyl)phenoxy)methyl)-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium trifluoromethanesulfonate via intra-molecular F-fluorination and subsequent removal of the protecting groups. The total synthesis time was 65min (including purification) and the overall radiochemical yield was 9% based on the isolated product (not decay-corrected). The resulting D-[F]FMT was obtained with high radiochemical purity (> 99%) and specific activity (100-150 GBq/μmol). D-[F]FMT also achieved excellent results in pharmacological evaluation such as stability test and protein binding assay. We expect that this simple one-pot labeling method would help using D-[F]FMT more widely.

Objective: Bariatric surgery improves glucose metabolism. Recent data suggest that faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) using faeces from postbariatric surgery diet-induced obese mice in germ-free mice improves glucose metabolism and intestinal homeostasis. We here investigated whether allogenic FMT using faeces from post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass donors (RYGB-D) compared with using faeces from metabolic syndrome donors (METS-D) has short-term effects on glucose metabolism, intestinal transit time and adipose tissue inflammation in treatment-naïve, obese, insulin-resistant male subjects.

Challenges remain in the reconstruction of dynamic (4-D) fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT). In our previous work, we implemented a fully 4-D FMT reconstruction approach using Karhunen-Loève (KL) transformation. However, in the reconstruction processes, the input data were scan-by-scan fluorescence projections.

It is difficult to directly coregister the 3-D fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) image of a small tumor in a mouse whose maximal diameter is only a few millimeters with a larger CT image of the entire animal that spans about 10 cm. This paper proposes a new method to register 2-D flat and 3-D CT image first to facilitate the registration between small 3-D FMT images and large 3-D CT images. A novel algorithm combining differential evolution and improved simplex method for the registration between the 2-D flat and 3-D CT images is introduced and validated with simulated images and real images of mice.
