Purpose: 177Lu-DKFZ-PSMA-617 is a promising treatment for patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Specific dosimetry for each patient is an important factor in planning the patient’s treatment process. This study aimed to perform an image-based absorbed dose calculation for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer with 177Lu-DKFZ-PSMA-617. Methods: The individualized patient dosimetry calculations were based on whole-body planar scintigraphy images acquired in 10 patients with a mean age of 71.4 ± 6.07 years (range 63–85 years) at approximately 0–2 h, 4–6 h, 18–24 h, and 36–48 h after administration of the mean 6253 ± 826.4 MBq (range 5500–7400 MBq) of 177Lu-DKFZ-PSMA-617. Time-activity curves were generated for various organs. For count conversion to activities, calibration factors were calculated. Finally, the absorbed dose for an individual cycle was calculated using IDIAC-DOSE 2.1 software. Results: On average, the calculated absorbed dose for the kidneys and salivary glands were 0.46 ± 0.09 mGy/MBq and 0.62 ± 0.07 mGy/MBq, respectively. Conclusions Based on the results, the 177 Lu-PSMA-617 therapy is a safe method for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer patients. Large inter-individual variations in organ dose were found, demonstrating the need for patientspecific dosimetry and treatment planning.

Stem cells transplantation (SCT) is known as a newfound strategy for multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) contain various regenerative features. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a laboratory model of MS. This meta-analysis study was conducted to assess the overall therapeutic effects of hUCMSCs on reduction of clinical score (CS) and restoration of active movement in EAE-induced animals. For comprehensive searching (in various English and Persian databases until May 1, 2024), the main keywords of “Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis”, “Multiple Sclerosis”, “Human”, “Umbilical Cord”, “Mesenchymal”, and “Stem Cell” were hired. Collected data were transferred to the citation manager software (EndNote x8) and duplicate papers were merged. Primary and secondary screenings were applied (according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria) and eligible studies were prepared for data collection. CS of two phases of peak and recovery of EAE were extracted as the difference in means and various analyses including heterogeneity, publication bias, funnel plot, and sensitivity index were reported. Metaanalysis was applied by CMA software (v.2), P<0.05 was considered a significant level, and the confidence interval (CI) was determined 95% (95% CI). Six eligible high-quality (approved by ARRIVE checklist) papers were gathered. The difference in means of peak and recovery phases were –0.775 (–1.325 to –0.225; P=0.006; I2 =90.417%) and –1.230 (–1.759 to –0.700; P<0.001; I2 =93.402%), respectively. The overall therapeutic effects of SCT of hUCMSCs on the EAE cases was –1.011 (95% CI=–1.392 to –0.629; P=0.001). hUCMSCs transplantation through the intravenous route to the animal MS model (EAE) seems a considerably effective procedure for the alleviation of motor defects in both phases of peak and recovery.
