- Abstract
Introduction: Positron emission tomography (PET) with F18 Flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) has been evaluated and found to be a useful diagnostic tool in a certain number of malignancies, particularly in providing crucial assessment of metabolic activity of the tumour. We herein review and discuss the place and role of FDG-PET scan in cervix carcinoma patients' management.Materials and Methods: Data for this review were identified by searches of Medline with and without MeSH database and Cancerlit. Studies were selected only if they were randomised clinical trials or historical reports. References were also identified from reference lists in relevant previously published articles. Recent guidelines and meta-analyses were included. Only published articles were taken into consideration.Results: Although FDG-PET may be useful in the primary cervical tumours morphologic and metabolic evaluation, it seems to have limited place for disease staging in patients with early-stage disease (less than 4 cm). Hybrid PET/CT is an effective imaging technique in the lymph node staging of locally advanced cervix carcinoma with negative CT findings and may lead to substantial changes in treatment planning for several patients. FDG-PET provides meaningful information for the early evaluation of therapeutic response and long-term follow-up.Conclusion: Several reports have demonstrated the efficacy of FDG-PET in both pre-treatment staging and post-treatment evaluation of patients with cervical carcinoma. Further evaluation in prospective clinical trials will be required to assess the clinical benefit of this strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

A wavelength-tunable 4 × 10 GHz optically modelocked semiconductor fibre ring laser is demonstrated. A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is used as a gain medium and optically controlled mode-locking element, in addition to four superimposed linearly chirped fibre Bragg gratings to provide tunable, multi-wavelength operation. The four wavelengths can be tuned simultaneously with constant wavelength separation by changing the modulation frequency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research, 16 hybrids of tomato were evaluated under greenhouse and laboratory with the aim of estimating genetic variances, general combining ability (GCA) of male, specific combining ability (SCA) from each cross and the heritabilities for morphological, agronomics, agri-industries and resistance characteristics. Results showed a large variability for evaluated characters, defining that additive and non-additive effects as well as dominant were involved in the same. Platus and Rio Grande varieties had a higher General Combining Ability (GCA) to yield. San Marzano variety showed the highest values for weight loss and a lower Brix degree values. Platus and Rio Grande showed the highest values of GCA for a lower fruit hardness loss and a lower pH value. The Martha x 89R Sw-5/Sw-5 and San Marzano x 895 Laching Sw-5 crosses had the highest values of Specific Combining Ability (SCA) to yield, suggesting that these combinations had hybrid vitality for yield, lower weight loss, Brix and pH degrees. The inheritance was greater for size, width, shape, hardness, number of locules and fruit brix degrees.

In order to evaluate the antioxidant response to water stress by drought in seven improved varieties, we assessed the enzymatic activity of catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (ASPX) and guayacol peroxidase (POX). The results showed that the Aurora, Victoria and Jaspe varieties were resistance to water stress by drought and showed higher values in the enzymatic activity of CAT, ASPX and POX, that their own controls. This confirmed that these varieties were more resistant to water stress by drought. In contrast, clones 00-216-3, 00-207-6 and Desirée and Salome varieties, showed resistance and lower values than their controls. However, the Salome variety with 20 days of drought water stress contrary to what was expected showed high levels of enzyme activity compared to controls. This suggested that this variety probably had other mechanisms of resistance to water stress by drought that allowed more dramatic reaction to drought stress. Finally, cuticular permeability showed that Aurora and Victoria varieties had low chlorophyll content in reference to its controls that showed high chlorophyll content.

In order to identify quinoa resistant cultivars to powdery mildew (Peronospora farinosa) of high yield and large grain size, 36 cultivars were evaluated under two different fungicide applications and a control in the Valle Bajo from Cochabamba. We determined the realtive Area under Develop Progress Curve of Peronosporafarinosa (AUDPCPF relative), the yield and another eleven quantitative variables. The results showed that cultivars 01Tardía, 08Tardía, 12Tardía, 04Tardía, 11Tardía 10Tardía, 19Tardía y 18Tardía were susceptible and the cultivars H172, A26, A03, A16, A22, A14 and H171 were resistant. The cultivars A40, H177, A26, H172, A25, A1 y H176 showed yields from 3.4 to 6.34 t ha-1). The cultivars 15 Tardía, 03 Tardía, 14 Tardía, H173, H171, A25, H176 and H172 with chemical control strategy and the tricobalreacted favorably against powdery mildew, which was associated with levels of resistance in each cultivar. Finally, there was a high significant negative correlation between the variables AUDPCPF relative and physiological maturity, plant length, panicle length, stem diameter, panicle diameter and weight of 100 seeds. This showed that when the attack of mildewis severe, also affects the grains yield.

Abstract Background Mitral valve thickness is used as a criterion to distinguish the classical from the non-classical form of mitral valve prolapse (MVP). Classical form of MVP has been associated with higher risk of mitral regurgitation (MR) and concomitant complications. We sought to determine the relation of mitral valve morphology and motion to mitral regurgitation severity in patients with MVP. Methods We prospectively analyzed transthoracic echocardiograms of 38 consecutive patients with MVP and various degrees of MR. In the parasternal long-axis view, leaflets length, diastolic leaflet thickness, prolapsing depth, billowing area and non-coaptation distance between both leaflets were measured. Results Twenty patients (53%) and 18 patients (47%) were identified as having moderate to severe and mild MR respectively (ERO = 45 ± 27 mm2 vs. 5 ± 7 mm2, p < 0.001). Diastolic leaflet thickness was similar in both groups (5.5 ± 0.9 mm vs. 5.3 ± 1 mm, p = 0.57). On multivariate analysis, the non-coaptation distance (OR 7.9 per 1 mm increase; 95% CI 1.72-37.2) was associated with significant MR. Thick mitral valve leaflet as traditionally reported (≥ 5 mm) was not associated with significant MR (OR 0.9; 95% CI 0.2-3.4). Conclusions In patients with MVP, thick mitral leaflet is not associated with significant MR. Leaflet thickness is probably not as important in risk stratification as previously reported in patients with MVP. Other anatomical and geometrical features of the mitral valve apparatus area appear to be much more closely related to MR severity.

Abstract Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves left ventricular (LV) volumes, mitral regurgitation (MR) severity and symptoms of patients with heart failure (HF). However, ≥ 30% of patients have no significant clinical or echocardiographic improvement following CRT. Reverse remodeling after CRT correlates with improved clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that in NT-pro BNP monitoring is accurate to identify responders following CRT. Methods 42 consecutive patients (mean age 66 ± 12 years, male 68%) with HF undergoing CRT were prospectively enrolled. Responders at follow-up were defined by echocardiography (decrease in LV end systolic volume ≥ 15%). Echocardiography and NT-pro BNP measurement were performed at baseline and repeated 3 to 6 month after CRT. Results There was no significant difference between responders (n = 29, 69%) and non-responders (n = 13, 31%) regarding baseline NT-pro BNP level. Responders had significantly higher decrease in NT-pro BNP levels during follow-up than non-responders (absolute: -1428 ± 1333 pg.ml-1 vs. -61 ± 959 pg.ml-1, p = 0.002; relative: -45 ± 28% vs. 2 ± 28%, p < 0.0001). A decrease of ≥ 15% in NT-pro BNP 3–6 months after CRT identifies echocardiographic responders with a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 77%. Conclusion NT-pro BNP monitoring can accurately identify echocardiographic responders after CRT.

- Abstract
The identification and characterization of noncanonical functions within the autophagy pathway have unveiled intricate cellular processes, including LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) and LC3-associated endocytosis (LANDO). These phenomena play pivotal roles in the conjugation of ATG8 with single-membrane phagosomes and endosomes, shedding light on the dynamic interplay between autophagy and cellular homeostasis. Here, we present detailed protocols for both qualitative and quantitative assessment of LAP, including immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and Western blotting of isolated LAPosomes. Additionally, the protocol for the evaluation of LANDO through immunofluorescent detection of receptor recycling is outlined. The methodologies presented herein serve as a practical guide for researchers seeking to unravel the intricacies of LAP and LANDO. By providing step-by-step instructions, accompanied by insights into potential challenges and optimization strategies, this chapter aims to empower investigators in the exploration of these noncanonical functions of autophagy proteins., (© 2024.

Magné J and Green DR
- Abstract
LC3-associated endocytosis (LANDO) is a noncanonical function of the autophagy machinery, in which LC3 (microtubule-associated protein light chain) is conjugated to rab5-positive endosomes, using a portion of the canonical autophagy pathway. LANDO was initially discovered in a murine model of Alzheimer's disease as a critical regulator of amyloid-β receptor recycling in microglial cells, playing a protective role against neuronal loss and memory impairment. Recent evidence suggests an emerging role of LANDO in cytokine receptor signaling and innate immunity. Here, we discuss the regulation of two crucial effectors of LANDO, Rubicon and ATG16L1, and their impact on endocytosis, autophagy, and phagocytosis.

- Abstract
We report the effective suppression of Raman emission in a monolithic ytterbium-doped fiber laser by the insertion of a chirped and tilted fiber Bragg grating (CTFBG) directly within the gain fiber of the laser. In comparison with a non-compensated filtered laser cavity for which the Raman threshold occurs at an output power of 1.54 kW, the insertion of a CTFBG within the gain medium leads to an increase in the Raman threshold by 260 W. We also demonstrate that the insertion of a CTFBG in between a laser cavity and a passive beam delivery fiber leads to an increase in the Raman threshold by 100 W with respect to the non-compensated case.

- Abstract
Background: Hyperlipidaemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of both myocardial infarction and stroke. We have previously shown that the Pro251 variant of perilipin-2 reduces plasma triglycerides and may therefore be beneficial to reduce atherosclerosis development., Objective: We sought to delineate putative beneficial effects of the Pro251 variant of perlipin-2 on subclinical atherosclerosis and the mechanism by which it acts., Methods: A pan-European cohort of high-risk individuals where carotid intima-media thickness has been assessed was adopted. Human primary monocyte-derived macrophages were prepared from whole blood from individuals recruited by perilipin-2 genotype or from buffy coats from the Karolinska University hospital blood central., Results: The Pro251 variant of perilipin-2 is associated with decreased intima-media thickness at baseline and over 30 months of follow-up. Using human primary monocyte-derived macrophages from carriers of the beneficial Pro251 variant, we show that this variant increases autophagy activity, cholesterol efflux and a controlled inflammatory response. Through extensive mechanistic studies, we demonstrate that increase in autophagy activity is accompanied with an increase in liver-X-receptor (LXR) activity and that LXR and autophagy reciprocally activate each other in a feed-forward loop, regulated by CYP27A1 and 27OH-cholesterol., Conclusions: For the first time, we show that perilipin-2 affects susceptibility to human atherosclerosis through activation of autophagy and stimulation of cholesterol efflux. We demonstrate that perilipin-2 modulates levels of the LXR ligand 27OH-cholesterol and initiates a feed-forward loop where LXR and autophagy reciprocally activate each other; the mechanism by which perilipin-2 exerts its beneficial effects on subclinical atherosclerosis., (© 2019 The Authors.

- Abstract
Individuals with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) are at significantly higher risk of developing aortic complications than individuals with tricuspid aortic valves (TAV) and defective signaling during the embryonic development and/or life time exposure to abnormal hemodynamic have been proposed as underlying factors. However, an explanation for the molecular mechanisms of aortopathy in BAV has not yet been provided. We combined proteomics, RNA analyses, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy to identify molecular differences in samples of non-dilated ascending aortas from BAV (N = 62) and TAV (N = 54) patients. Proteomic analysis was also performed for dilated aortas (N = 6 BAV and N = 5 TAV) to gain further insight into the aortopathy of BAV. Our results collectively showed the molecular signature of an endothelial/epithelial-mesenchymal (EndMT/EMT) transition-like process, associated with instability of intimal cell junctions and activation of RHOA pathway in the intima and media layers of ascending aorta in BAV patients. We propose that an improper regulation of EndMT/EMT during the spatiotemporally related embryogenesis of semilunar valves and ascending aorta in BAV individuals may result in aortic immaturity and instability prior to dilation. Exasperation of EndMT/EMT state in post embryonic life and/or exposure to non-physiological hemodynamic could lead to the aneurysm of ascending aorta in BAV individuals.

- Abstract
Objective: Key augmented processes in atherosclerosis have been identified, whereas less is known about downregulated pathways. Here, we applied a systems biology approach to examine suppressed molecular signatures, with the hypothesis that they may provide insight into mechanisms contributing to plaque stability., Approach and Results: Muscle contraction, muscle development, and actin cytoskeleton were the most downregulated pathways (false discovery rate=6.99e-21, 1.66e-6, 2.54e-10, respectively) in microarrays from human carotid plaques (n=177) versus healthy arteries (n=15). In addition to typical smooth muscle cell (SMC) markers, these pathways also encompassed cytoskeleton-related genes previously not associated with atherosclerosis. SYNPO2, SYNM, LMOD1, PDLIM7, and PLN expression positively correlated to typical SMC markers in plaques (Pearson r>0.6, P<0.0001) and in rat intimal hyperplasia (r>0.8, P<0.0001). By immunohistochemistry, the proteins were expressed in SMCs in normal vessels, but largely absent in human plaques and intimal hyperplasia. Subcellularly, most proteins localized to the cytoskeleton in cultured SMCs and were regulated by active enhancer histone modification H3K27ac by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing. Functionally, the genes were downregulated by PDGFB (platelet-derived growth factor beta) and IFNg (interferron gamma), exposure to shear flow stress, and oxLDL (oxidized low-density lipoprotein) loading. Genetic variants in PDLIM7, PLN, and SYNPO2 loci associated with progression of carotid intima-media thickness in high-risk subjects without symptoms of cardiovascular disease (n=3378). By eQTL (expression quantitative trait locus), rs11746443 also associated with PDLIM7 expression in plaques. Mechanistically, silencing of PDLIM7 in vitro led to downregulation of SMC markers and disruption of the actin cytoskeleton, decreased cell spreading, and increased proliferation., Conclusions: We identified a panel of genes that reflect the altered phenotype of SMCs in vascular disease and could be early sensitive markers of SMC dedifferentiation., (© 2016 American Heart Association, Inc.)

- Abstract
Hyperhomocysteinemia induces vascular endothelial dysfunction, an early hallmark of atherogenesis. While higher levels of circulating asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA), endogenous inhibitors of nitric oxide synthesis, have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk, the role that ADMA and SDMA play in the initiation of hyperhomocysteinemia-induced endothelial dysfunction remains still controversial. In the present study, we studied the changes of circulating ADMA and SDMA in a rat model of acutely hyperhomocysteinemia-induced endothelial dysfunction. In healthy rats, endothelium-related vascular reactivity (measured as acetylcholine-induced transient decrease in mean arterial blood pressure), plasma ADMA and SDMA, total plasma homocysteine (tHcy), cysteine and glutathione were measured before and 2, 4 and 6 h after methionine loading or vehicle. mRNA expression of hepatic dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase-1 (DDAH1), a key protein responsible for ADMA metabolism, was measured 6 h after the methionine loading or the vehicle. Expectedly, methionine load induced a sustained increase in tHcy (up to 54.9 ± 1.9 µM) and a 30 % decrease in vascular reactivity compared to the baseline values. Plasma ADMA and SDMA decreased transiently after the methionine load. Hepatic mRNA expression of DDAH1, cathepsin D, and ubiquitin were significantly lower 6 h after the methionine load than after the vehicle. The absence of an elevation of circulating ADMA and SDMA in this model suggests that endothelial dysfunction induced by acute hyperhomocysteinemia cannot be explained by an up-regulation of protein arginine methyltransferases or a down-regulation of DDAH1. In experimental endothelial dysfunction induced by acute hyperhomocysteinemia, down-regulation of the proteasome is likely to dampen the release of ADMA and SDMA in the circulation.

- Abstract
Perilipin 2 (PLIN2) is the most abundant lipid droplet (LD)-associated protein in nonadipose tissue, and its expression correlates with intracellular lipid accumulation. Here we identified a missense polymorphism, Ser251Pro, that has major effect on protein structure and function, along with an influence on human plasma triglyceride concentration. The evolutionarily conserved Ser251Pro polymorphism was identified with the ClustalW program. Structure modeling using 3D-JigSaw and the Chimera package revealed that the Pro251 allele disrupts a predicted α-helix in PLIN2. Analyses of macrophages from individuals carrying Ser251Pro variants and human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells stably transfected with either of the alleles demonstrated that the Pro251 variant causes increased lipid accumulation and decreased lipolysis. Analysis of LD size distribution in stably transfected cells showed that the minor Pro251 allele resulted in an increased number of small LDs per cell and increased perilipin 3 protein expression levels as compared with cells carrying the major Ser251 allele. Genotyping of 2113 individuals indicated that the Pro251 variant is associated with decreased plasma triglyceride and very low-density lipoprotein concentrations. Altogether, these data provide the first evidence of a polymorphism in PLIN2 that affects PLIN2 function and may influence the development of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

- Abstract
In the postprandial period, low-grade inflammation may contribute to vascular endothelial dysfunction, a hallmark of atherogenesis. Little is known about the involvement of the adipose tissue in the initiation of the postprandial inflammatory response such as obtained after a high-saturated fat meal (HFM). In the present study, we first studied the time course of appearance of systemic inflammation after a HFM in healthy rats, and then we investigated whether a HFM activates the inflammatory signaling in the visceral adipose tissue, with a focus on the key component, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB). Two hours after the HFM, plasma IL-6 and PAI-1, but not plasma C-reactive protein and soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1, showed a marked, transient increase. These changes were specific to the postprandial state as not observed after a control water load. Neutrophils count and activation markers CD11B and CD62L, assessed by flow cytometry, also rose significantly 2 h after the HFM, while remaining steady after the control. At the same time, the HFM decreased significantly B-cell count and expression of the activation marker CD62L. Interestingly, at the same early time after the HFM, in the visceral adipose tissue, there was a 2.2-fold increase in the activation of NF-kappaB (p65) in nuclear extract and an increase in IL-6 mRNA. As far as we know, this is the first study evidencing an acute, postprandial activation of inflammation in visceral adipose tissue. This early activation of NF-kappaB pathway after a HFM may play a triggering role in the initiation of the complex postprandial proatherogenic phenotype., (Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
High-saturated fat and high-sucrose meals induce vascular endothelial dysfunction, the early hallmark of atherogenesis. The impact of dietary protein on vascular homeostasis remains misunderstood. In this study, we investigated whether rapeseed protein, an emergent arginine- and cysteine-rich protein, can acutely modulate the onset of adverse effects induced by a high-saturated fat meal (HFM). In a series of crossover experiments, healthy rats received 3 HFM (saturated fat: 60%; sucrose: 20%; protein: 20% energy) with the protein source being either total milk protein (MP; control), rapeseed protein (RP), or MP supplemented with cysteine and arginine to the same level as in RP (MP+AA). Endothelium-related vascular reactivity, measured as an acetylcholine-induced transient decrease in blood pressure, and plasma triglycerides, hydroperoxides, cyclic GMP (cGMP), and free 3-nitrotyrosine were measured before and 2, 4, and 6 h after meals. Superoxide anion production, expressed as ethidine fluorescence, was measured in the aorta 6 h after meals. Whereas plasma triglycerides rose similarly in all meals, the decrease in vascular reactivity after MP was attenuated after MP+AA and entirely prevented after RP. The type of meal had no consistent effect on plasma cGMP and free 3-nitrotyrosine over the postprandial period. The postprandial increase in plasma hydroperoxides differed according to the meal, and concentrations were 43% lower 6 h after MP+AA and RP than after MP. Aortic superoxide anion production was 36% lower 6 h after RP than MP. These results show that substituting rapeseed protein for milk protein markedly reduces vascular and oxidative disturbances induced by an HFM and this may be mediated in part by cysteine and arginine.

- Abstract
In healthy humans, a high-saturated-fat/high-sucrose meal induces vascular endothelial dysfunction, a hallmark of atherogenesis. This transient dysfunction indicates a loss in nitric oxide (NO) production and/or bioactivity in the vasculature but it remains unknown if this is the local manifestation of a general impairment in NO pathway in the postprandial state. Here, we studied whole-body NO production and systemic NO bioactivity in postprandial endothelial dysfunction, as induced by a high-saturated-fat, high-sucrose meal. We first developed a physiological test of endothelial function on conscious rats, based on the transient fall in blood pressure after iv acetylcholine, and showed that this response was NO-dependent. As assessed with this method in healthy rats, endothelial function decreased during the postprandial state, being 60+/-7% lower than baseline at 6h after the meal challenge, associated with important elevations in plasma triglycerides and hydroperoxides. Aortic superoxide anion production, as assessed by oxidative fluorescent detection, was higher 6h after the meal challenge than after the nutrients vehicle (water). During the postprandial period, plasma cGMP, but not plasma ANP, markedly decreased, indicating a general decrease in NO bioavailability, which was numerically maximal 4h after the meal challenge. As determined 4h after ingestion by a tracer-based method using iv [(15)N(2)-(guanido)]-arginine, the whole-body NO production fell by 27+/-9% postprandially. This is the first study evidencing that a meal challenge that impairs the stimulated, NO-mediated, vascular response also reduces whole-body basal NO production and bioavailability. Postprandial pathophysiology may build on this general, fundamental alteration in NO production.

- Abstract
Background: The psychological difficulty of accepting a mastectomy for locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) justifies the use of chemotherapy as neoadjuvant primary treatment. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the efficacy of the doxorubicin/paclitaxel (AT) schedule neoadjuvantly administered in terms of response rates and survival in patients with LABC, with a special focus on cardiac toxicity., Patients and Method: All patients were treated by doxorubicin (60 mg/m2 i.v.) bolus followed by paclitaxel (200 mg/m2) as a 3-h infusion. Treatment was repeated every 3 weeks for four or six courses and followed by surgery, radiotherapy, and hormonotherapy for patients with positive hormonal receptors. Patients with significant cardiovascular history or ECG abnormalities were not eligible for the study. Measurements of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were performed at baseline and at the end of chemotherapy., Results: From 1998 to 2001, 34 consecutive patients followed up in our institution were entered into this study. Median age was 49 years (range, 32-68 years). Seventeen patients had stage IIB, 5 patients stage IIIA, and 12 patients stage IIIB disease. Twenty-one patients underwent conservative surgery, 7 radical surgery, and 6 patients no surgery due to metastatic disease occurring during treatment. An objective clinical response was noted in 22 (65%) of 34 patients (6 patients with histological complete response, 10 patients with rare malignant cells, and 6 patients with a partial response), 6 patients presented a progressive disease, and 8 patients a stable disease. Twenty-four patients have kept normal cardiac function, 7 patients had a cardiac toxicity as defined by the institution [4 (24%) of 17 patients received 360 mg/m2 of doxorubicin (A), 2 of 4 presented congestive heart failure (CHF), and 3 (21%) of 14 patients received 240 mg/m(2) of A without CHF]. Three patients did not receive four or six cycles as initially planned due to the progressive disease during the chemotherapy courses. These patients were excluded from the final analysis, particularly cardiac toxicity analysis. At time of median follow-up (42 months), 28 of 34 patients were alive (one death due to CHF, five others due to progressive disease)., Conclusion: The AT regimen in neoadjuvant treatment for LABC remains efficient, but cardiac toxicity reported in this study underlies the necessity to optimize the schedule of AT combination.

- Abstract
We demonstrate a new class of all-fiber frequency comb filter that exhibits unprecedented capabilities for tuning the comb's free spectral range (FSR). The filter exploits a spectral Talbot-like effect in a sampled chirped fiber Bragg grating. The FSR is tailored by application of a linear strain gradient to modify the relative phase between the samples. The FSR can be tuned in discrete steps that correspond to the nominal value of the FSR of the sampled unchirped grating divided by integer factors. In this demonstration the FSR is varied from 51 to 3.9 GHz.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the disposition of radioiodine used for the ablation of thyroid remnants after radical surgery for a differentiated thyroid carcinoma in a patient on chronic hemodialysis in order to deliver the optimal (131)I dose to improve the healing rate in these rare cases and to serve as a useful reference to other health care professionals who might face a similar dilemma. A 50 mCi dose of (131)I was administered orally and dialysis sessions were performed 24, 72 and 144 h after therapy. Patient effluent dialyzate waste samples were collected and blood radioactivity analyses were performed at each dialysis session. The (131)I disposition half-life was 2.7 +/- 0.8 h. The amounts of remnant radioactivity in total body patient were 58.7, 38.9 and 27.1%, respectively, after each of the three dialysis sessions and the effective period calculated was 1.4 days. The extents of water purification in blood were 69.7, 47.9 and 22.7% at the beginning of each dialysis and 37.7, 42.8 and 18.1% at the end of each dialysis. Effective periods of radioiodine for thyroid cancer in a patient on hemodialysis resulted in rapid iodine clearance, thereby reducing the effective radiation dose and promoting the need to use larger treatment doses. Hemodialysis was safe and effective during treatment with radioiodine.

- Abstract
We report on a patient in whom we observed an unusually important upward creep of the heart on postexercise 201TI tomographic acquisition. When uncorrected, this led to reconstruction of grossly abnormal tomograms, which were normal after correction of upward creep of the heart. This phenomenon may be related to the patient's history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Special attention should be given to upward creep artifact in such pulmonary diseases.
