Background: Liver uptake in [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET is used as an internal reference in addition to clinical parameters to select patients for [Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy (RLT). Due to increased demand, [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 was replaced by [F]F-PSMA-1007, a more lipophilic tracer with different biodistribution and splenic uptake was suggested as a new internal reference. We compared the intra-patient tracer distribution between [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 and [F]F-PSMA-1007.

Methods: Fifty patients who underwent PET examinations in two centers with both [F]F-PSMA-1007 and [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 within one year were included. Mean standardized uptake values (SUV) were obtained for liver, spleen, salivary glands, blood pool, and bone. Primary tumor, local recurrence, lymph node, bone or visceral metastasis were also assessed for intra- and inter-individual comparison.

Results: Liver SUV was significantly higher with [F]F-PSMA-1007 (11.7 ± 3.9) compared to [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 (5.4 ± 1.7, p < .05) as well as splenic SUV (11.2 ± 3.5 vs.8.1 ± 3.5, p < .05). The blood pool was comparable between the two scans. Malignant lesions did not show higher SUV on [F]F-PSMA-1007. Intra-individual comparison of liver uptake between the two scans showed a linear association for liver uptake with SUV [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 = 0.33 x SUV [F]F-PSMA-1007 + 1.52 (r = .78, p < .001).

Conclusion: Comparing biodistribution of [Ga]Ga and [F]F tracers, liver uptake on [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET is the most robust internal reference value. Liver uptake of [F]F-PSMA-1007 was significantly higher, but so was the splenic uptake. The strong intra-individual association of hepatic accumulation between the two scans may allow using of a conversion factor for [F]F-PSMA-1007 as a basis for RLT selection.

Addressing loess salinisation is a crucial element in preserving ecological stability and fostering sustainable development in the northwest Loess Plateau. To investigate the impacts of salt solution on the properties of loess, independently designed salt solution-loess dynamic cyclic erosion equipment was used to soak the loess. Then, numerous tests were performed to analyse the variability of the effects of salt solution concentrations (SSC) and type, as well as the duration of soaking time, on these physico-mechanical properties.

Background: Diastolic wall strain (DWS), also referred to as right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, is a significant predictor of pulmonary embolism (PE) and heart failure (HF). Rooted in linear elastic theory, DWS reflects decreased wall thinning during diastole, indicating reduced left ventricular (LV) compliance and increased diastolic stiffness. Elevated diastolic stiffness is associated with worse outcomes, particularly in PE and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Ammonia is a highly promising carbon-neutral fuel. The use of ammonia as a fuel for internal combustion engines can reduce fossil energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the high ignition energy required for ammonia and the slow flame propagation rate result in low combustion efficiency when ammonia is used directly in internal combustion engines.
