1.Clinical Study of 3D CT angiography in complex congenital heart disease
Chinese Medical Equipment Journal 2003;0(12):-
Objective To evaluate the application of MSCT angiography in complex congenital heart disease.Methods Images of patient with complex congenital heart disease were acquired by MSCT with dedicated parameters.Target vas in ROI was identified with plain scanning and then contrast scanning were followed.The preset CT value of the target vas was 160 Hu.The computer would expose automatically when the contrast agent reached the value.Results The target vas was scanned continuously when the contrast agent reached the preset value after "bonus injection" of the vain.Then the acquired data were processed into a clear 3D image of cardiac vas.Conclusion 3D CT angiography is a safe,effective and noninvasive imaging modality for complex congenital heart disease.

Objective To synthesize 18F-AlF-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-l,4,7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-c (CGRRAGGSC),which could specifically bind to the α chain of interleukin (IL)-11 receptor (IL-11 R),and evaluate its targeting potential to IL-11 R-positive tumors.Methods Polypeptide c (CGRRAGGSC) was first coupled with NOTA and then labeled with 18F by AlF labeling method.The radiochemical purity and radiochemical yield of 18F-AlF-NOTA-c(CGRRAGGSC) were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography,and the stability in vitro was evaluated.The tracer biodistribution in tumor-bearing mice (cell line SKOV3) was evaluated by the dynamic imaging with microPET 30 min,1 h,2 h after injection of 18F-AlF-NOTA-c (CGRRAGGSC).The tracer kinetics was performed in normal mice.Pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated using DAS2.0 software.Results The radiochemical purity of 18F-AlF-NOTA-c(CGRRAGGSC) was higher than 95% and the radiochemical yield was (30.0±7.4)%.It could be stably maintained in phosphatebuffered solution and plasma for at least 2 h.MicroPET imaging showed that 18F-AlF-NOTA-c(CGRRAGGSC)had a good affinity to SKOV3 tumor.The tumor/muscle ratios at 30 min,1 h,2 h after the injection of 18F-AlF-NOTA-c(CGRRAGGSC) were 6.26±2.98,7.19±3.63 and 9.05±4.30,respectively.The tracer was cleared rapidly in blood and mainly excreted by the liver and kidneys.The T1/2α and T1/2β were (0.38±0.14) h and (2.64±0.28) h,respectively.Conclusions 18F-AlF-NOTA-c(CGRRAGGSC) is easy to be synthesized and has a good affinity to IL-11R-positive tumors.It will be a potential IL-11R-targeting imaging agent.
