Objective To investigate the biodistribution,excretion and other pharmacokinetics,of 188Re-1-hydroxy-1,1-ethylidene disodium phosphonate (HEDP) in cancer patients with osseous metastases who were suffering form bone pain. Methods A single dose (20,30,40,and 50 MBq/kg,10 patients in every group) of 188Re-HEDP was administered as a bolus injection,meanwhile dynamic images on patient's chest were collected for 30 min. Anterior and posterior whole-body images were obtained at 1,2,4,5,12,24,36,48,60 and 72 h after injection of 188Re-HEDP. By region of interest (ROI) technology,the curve of time-background corrected counts of left cardiac ventricle could be generated,and the background-corrected counts of various organs and total whole body could be calculated as a geometric mean using the anterior and posterior scans,and transformed to the percentage injected dose ( % ID). Urine was collected after injection of 188Re-HEDP. Counts of urine were measured by γ counter. Analysis of variance and t-test were used. Results Linear relationship of metabolism of 188Re-HEDP was observed in the doses from 20 to 50 MBq/kg,with correlation coefficient r2 = 0. 9376. A two-compartment model was the best fit for metabolism of 188Re-HEDP with the parameters median area under curve (AUC) 3.32 × 105,3.97 × 105,7.83 × 105,8.58 ×105,respectively; median α 0.06,0.05,0.04,0.06 respectively; median β 1.16 ×10-3,1.16 × 10-3,1.03 × 10-3,1.15 × 10 -3 respectively; median A 3591.21,4858.23,5642. 48,4167.05 respectively; median B 293.97,352.95,614.41,1063.82 respectively; median T1/2(α) 12.51,12.83,15.41,12.02 min respectively; median T1/2(β) 595.47,596.50,673.09,600.93 min respectively in the doses of 20,30,40and 50 MBq/kg. 188Re-HEDP was taken up mainly by bone up to 40% ID at 4 h. Urine profile showed that 66.79 % ID was eliminated within 24 h,being its 74% collected along the first 5 h after-administration.Conclusions In the doses of 20,30,40 and 50 MBq/kg,metabolism of 188Re-HEDP presented linear model. Pharmacokinetics of 188 Re-HEDP followed a two-compartment model administrated by blood vessel.Following injection,188 Re-HEDP was taken up mainly by bone and excreted by uropoietic system.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of totally thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy (TTAS) for the treatment of the peripheral stage ⅠA non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods The study involved 50 consecutive patients undergoing totally thoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomy (TTAS) from September 2010 to November 2012 in the First People's Hospital affiliatied to Nanjing Medical University.The diameter of the tumors were less than 2 cm [(mean diameter(1.35 ±0.48) cm].All lymph node sampling of N1 and N2 were neglive,All patients received symtematic lymph node dissection.The pulmonary vessels were individually ligated,and the bronchi were closed using an endoscopic stapler.The intersegmental plane was identified using the demarcation between the resected(inflated) and preserved(collapsed) lungs.Staplers were used for intersegmental dissection.Results The mean operative time and intraoperative bleeding were (191.5 ± 50.4) min and (49.2 ± 54.6) ml respectively.The chest tube drainage duration was (3 ± 1) days.The number of stapler cartridges used for intersegmental division was 3.9 ±0.8.The mean number of lymph nodes and nodal stations dissected were 12.6 ± 2.8 and 6.0 ± 1.5 respectively.No mortality and complications were observed 30 days after the surgery.Further,no local recurrence or metastases were observed during follow-up.Conclusion Totally thoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomy(TTAS) is a feasible and safe technique.With systematic lymph node dissection,TTAS can be a reasonable therapeutic option for stage ⅠA NSCLC.

Objective To study the tolerance to 188Re-1-hydroxy-1 ,1-ethylidene disodium phosphonate(HEDP) in patients with bone pain caused by osseous metastases. Methods Thirty-one patients(10with prostate cancer, 9 with breast cancer, 3 with lung cancer, 5 with liver cancer, 2 with rectal cancer, 1with esophageal cancer and 1 with renal cancer) received a single injection dose of 188Re-HEDP. The patients were divided into four groups according to the injection dose: 20 MBq/kg (6 patients), 30 MBq/kg(6 patients), 40 MBq/kg (9 patients), and 50 MBq/kg (10 patients). Haematological toxicity (WHO grading) of grade Ⅲ- Ⅳ was considered unacceptable. Vital signs and adverse effects after injection were recorded for 8 weeks. Blood counts were measured weekly during a period of 8 weeks. Biochemical parameters and electrocardiogram were assayed at week 4 and 8. Statistical analysis was performed for per-protocol (pp) population (t-test). Results Twenty-seven patients belonged to PP population with 5 in the group of 20 MBq/kg, 5 in the group of 30 MBq/kg, 8 in the group of 40 MBq/kg and 9 in the group of 50 MBq/kg.No obvious adverse effects and no significant change of vital signs, electrocardiogram, liver and renal function were found after injection. Alkaline phosphatase was slightly higher than baseline at week 4 and 8 after therapy, but the difference was not statistically significant. In the 20 MBq/kg group, reversible grade Ⅰ leucopenia was noted in 1 patient. In the 30 MBq/kg group, 2 patients showed reversible grade Ⅰ leucopenia including 1 alone with reversible grade Ⅲ thrombopenia. In the 40 MBq/kg group, reversible grade Ⅰ leucopenia and thrombopenia was observed in 1 patient and reversible grade Ⅱ leucopenia and thrombopenia in another patient. In the .50 MBq/kg group, 3 patients showed reversible grade Ⅱ leucopenia. The lowest level of thrombopenia was at week 4(143.5 × 109/L), leucopenia at week 6 (5.4 × 109/L) and anaemia at week 8(t = 3.1325, 3.3156, 3.4917, all P ＜ 0. 05 compared with baseline). At week 8, the mean level of platelet and leucocyte recovered to baseline. "Bounce pain" was found in 2 of 27 patients (7.41%).Conclusions The dose of 20 MBq/kg, 30 MBq/kg, 40 MBq/kg or 50 MBq/kg of 188Re-HEDP do not cause significant side effects on cancer patients with bone metastases, though there is a tendency that the haematological toxicity may increase as the dose of 188Re-HEDP increases.
