Peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals targeting integrin α5β1 show promise for precise tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, current peptide-based radioligands that target α5β1 demonstrate inadequate in vivo performance owing to limited tumor retention. The use of PEGylation to enhance the tumor retention of radiopharmaceuticals by prolonging blood circulation time poses a risk of increased blood toxicity. Therefore, a PEGylation strategy that boosts tumor retention while minimizing blood circulation time is urgently needed. Here, we developed a PEGylation-enabled peptide multidisplay platform (PEGibody) for PR_b, an α5β1 targeting peptide. PEGibody generation involved PEGylation and self-assembly. [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 PEGibodies displayed spherical nanoparticles ranging from 100 to 200 nm in diameter. Compared with non-PEGylated radioligands, [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 demonstrated enhanced tumor retention time due to increased binding affinity and stability. Importantly, the biodistribution analysis confirmed rapid clearance of [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 from the bloodstream. Administration of a single dose of [¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 led to robust antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, [⁶⁴Cu]/[¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 exhibited low hematological and organ toxicity in both healthy and tumor-bearing mice. Therefore, this study presents a PEGibody-based radiotheranostic approach that enhances tumor retention time and provides long-lasting antitumor effects without prolonging blood circulation lifetime. The PEGibody-based radiopharmaceutical [⁶⁴Cu]/[¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 shows great potential for positron emission tomography imaging-guided targeted radionuclide therapy for α5β1-overexpressing tumors.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and recent efficacy of iliac vein molding and stenting in daytime treatment mode in patients with iliac vein stenosis.Methods:Medical records of iliac vein molding and stenting performed in the ipsilateral great saphenous vein approach conducted from February 2017 to March 2022 were retrospective reviewed.There were 21 cases,6 males and 15 females.Age ranged from 37 to 79 years[(62.5±10.2)years].The stenosis in the 21 limbs simply involved the common iliac veins in 16 patients,2 patients had the simple and external iliac veins,and both the total and external iliac veins in 3 patients.Both iliac vein molding and iliac vein stenting were performed through the ipsilateral great saphenous vein approach.The patients with simple iliac vein stenosis with great saphenous vein valve insufficiency also underwent radiofrequency closure of great saphenous vein and flexural vein sclerosis therapy simultaneously.Regular postoperative direct oral anticoagulants therapy and stress therapy were followed.All the patients were hospitalized for less than 24 h.Results:All the 21 patients operations were successful(the success rate was 100％),without any intraoperative compli-cations.Immediate postoperative complications were puncture point bleeding in 1 case.The bandage gauze was completely wet.The bleeding was stopped after 5min of recompression.All the patients were hospitalized for less than 24 h.Follow-up results:The 3-month follow-up rate after operation was 100％.Absolute effective 18 cases(18/21,85.7％).Relatively effective(postmentation still after surgery,but with less extent)in 3 cases(3/21,14.3％).The iliac vein stents were unobstructed,and the trunk of the great saphenous vein was well closed in the patients with great saphenous vein radiofrequency treat-ment.The 6-month follow-up rate after operation was 71.4％(15/21).Of these,14 cases(14/15,93.3％)were absolutely effective.Relatively effective(postmentation still after surgery,but with less ex-tent)in 1 case(1/15,6.7％).The iliac vein stents were no restenosis or obstruction,and the trunk of the great saphenous vein was well closed in the patients with great saphenous vein radiofrequency treat-ment.Conclusion:The interventional treatment technique of iliac vein stenosis is feasible in the daytime treatment mode,with clear advantages and satisfactory recent efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of thrombin in preventing endoleaks and promoting sac regression after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.Methods:Retrospective study was performed on patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who were admitted to Peking University Third Hospital for endovascular repair (EVAR) from May 2018 to May 2023. Thrombin injection was performed during EVAR in patients with high risk of endoleaks, and the success rate of the operation, perioperative mortality (30 d), incidence of endoleak, thrombin-related allergic reactions and ectopic embolism were observed.Results:In 83 patients, the technical success rate was 100% (83/83). The average operation time was (89.9±17.1) min. The average hospitalization was (5.8±1.3) days. There were no thrombin-related allergic reactions and ectopic embolism in peri-operation. The median follow-up time was 36 months. Five patients lost follow-up. During the follow-up period, 3 patients died, of which 2 died of acute myocardial infarction at 16 and 24 months, respectively, and 1 died of lung cancer at 34 months. The remaining 75 patients survived, with an overall survival rate of 96.2% (75/78). Type Ⅱ internal leakage occurred in 3 of the 75 patients, with an incidence of 4.0%. The maximum diameter and volume of the sac did not increase significantly during follow-up, and conservative treatment was performed. The mean maximum sac diameter of 75 patients was (43.8±7.4) mm, which was significantly lower than that of (61.4±14.4) mm before EVAR ( P<0.001). The sac volume was also significantly decreased [(125.5±54.1) cm 3vs. (239.3±145.1) cm 3, P<0.01]. Conclusions:The use of thrombin in the prevention and treatment of endoleak during EVAR is safe and effective after mid-term follow-up. In the follow-up of EVAR, attention should be paid to the change of sac volume.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of balloon occlusion and intra-sac thrombin injection in the endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. METHODS: From October 2019 to October 2022, the clinical data of 16 patients with rAAA treated with balloon occlusion technique and intra-sac thrombin injection combined with EVAR were retrospectively analyzed, including 13 males and 3 females, aged 42-85 years, with a median age of 70.5 years. The time of preoperative first aid (from hospital arrival to operation start), average operation time, stay in intensive care unit (ICU), average hospitalization time, success rate of surgical treatment, perioperative (30 d) mortality rate, incidence of complications, the maximum diameter and volume change of the aneurysm were observed and recorded. RESULTS: Among the 16 patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, the technical success rate was 100.0% (16/16). One patient died of multiple organ dysfunction 6 hours after operation. The success rate of surgical treatment was 93.8% (15/16). The preoperative first aid time was (53.3±6.2) min, the average operation time was (89.9±17.1) min, the stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) was (1.7±0.8) d, and the average hospitalization time was (7.8±1.3) d. The intraoperative balloon occlusion time was (32.4±4.1) min. The postoperative renal function of all the patients had no significant deterioration compared with that preoperative. Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) occurred in 1 patient after operation, which improved after CT puncture and drainage. The median follow-up time was 36 months. During the follow-up period, 1 patient died of acute myocardial infarction 2 years after operation, and the remaining 14 patients survived. Among the 14 follow-up patients, 1 type Ⅱ endoleak occurred, and no other types of endoleak occurred. By the end of the follow-up, the maximum diameter of the aneurysm sac in 14 patients was significantly lower than that before operation [(44.6±8.0) mm vs.(66.0±15.5) mm, P < 0.001], and in 12 patients with CTA, the volume of the aneurysm sac was significantly shrunk than that before operation [(311.7±170.3) mm³ vs. (168.6±68.1) mm³, P < 0.05]. CONCLUSION Balloon occlusion during endovascular repair is safe and effective in the treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm; intraoperative thrombin injection of the aneurysm sac can significantly reduce the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative abdominal compartment syndrome and endoleak and, to a certain extent, improve the success rate of treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of mechanical debulking in treating arteriosclerosis occlusive disease of lower extremity.Methods:The clinical data of 52 arteriosclerosis occlusive disease of lower extremity cases treated with Rotarex mechanical debulking system from June 2017 to June 2020 at Department of Intervention Vascular Surgery,Peking University Third Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 37 males and 15 females,aged(69.4±10.1)years(range:47 to 89 years).Lesion length was (21.6±12.9)cm(range: 4 to 45 cm),occlusion length was (18.5±11.8)cm(range:4 to 45 cm).The lesion was located in iliac artery(IA) in 6 cases,femoral-popliteal artery(FPA) in 42 cases,and both IA and FPA in 4 cases. All the cases were treated with Rotarex mechanical debulking system. Residual stenosis more than 50% were treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA).Drug coated balloon was used in part of them,and stent was used only when it was necessary. The patient′s operation, complications, postoperative target vessel restenosis and reoperation were collected. The paired sample t test and rank sum test was used for data comparison and the postoperative target vessel patency rate was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Results:All the 52 cases obtained technical success. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was used in all cases,and drug coated balloon were used in 11 cases. Twenty-six stents were implanted in 24 cases (2 cases implanted 2 stents).Nine stents were implanted in IA and 15 in FPA. The length of stents was (11.3±3.3)cm(range:6 to 23 cm).There were 3 procedure related complications: one of them was acute occlusion in an iliac lesion,and thrombectomy was applied urgently,and the result was good. And the other two were distal embolism. The thrombus were took out with guiding catheter. The hospital stay was (4.8±1.9)days. The ankle brachial index increased from 0.34±0.16 to 0.81±0.16 after treatment ( t=-25.160, P<0.01).The Rutherford stages decreased from ( M(IQR)) 3(1) to 1(1)( Z=-6.825, P<0.01).The median followed up time was 19 months(range:6 to 42 months).Two cases stopped antiplatelet agents during follow-up and which result in acute thrombosis 2 weeks and 2 months later respectively. One of them was treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy and the other one was not for gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Four cases died during follow-up,one case died of lung cancer,one died of abdominal infection,and the other 2 cases died of cardiovascular disease,and no amputation was observed. Target lesion restenosis(TLR) more than 50% occurred in 13 cases during the follow-up. All TLR were observed in FPA,and target lesion revascularization was taken in 3 of them. According to Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis,half-year,1-year and 2-year cumulative patency rates of target vessels in this group was 94.2%,87.4% and 51.4%, respectively. And half-year and 1-year cumulative patency rates just in FPA cases was 92.9% and 84.3%, respectively. Conclusions:Percutaneous mechanical debulking using Rotarex catheter combining PTA can reduce the use of stents in femoral-popliteal artery. It is safe and effective in treating with arteriosclerosis obliterans of lower extremity.

Objective:To investigate the significance of filtration fraction (FF) and renal artery stenting in the treatment of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis.Methods:In the study,42 cases of renal artery stenosis were treated with 52 renal artery stent implantation.Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty and stent (PTRAS) of the patients' health side kidney,ipsilateral kidney (renal) glomerular filtration rate (GFR),renal effective renal plasma flow effective renal plasma flow (ERPF),kidney filtration fraction changes of preoperative and postoperative serum creatinine (SCR) and the changes in the patients with blood pressure (SBP) and the changes after taking antihypertensive drugs were observed and analyzed.Results:The 52 cases of renal artery stent implantation were all successful.Preoperative ipsilateral GFR was significantly lower than that of normal side (t =-3.989,P =0.000);preoperative ipsilateral ERPF was significantly lower than the contralateral side (t =-4.926,P =0.000).On both sides,the overall FF values were equal (t =1.273,P =O.207).Postoperative ipsilateral renal GFR was increased,but there was no statistical difference (t =-1.411,P =0.164).Postoperative ipsilateral renal ERPF was increased significantly (t =-4.954,P =0.000),and FF lower (closer to the normal value (t =3.274,P =0.002).Postoperative side GFR was significantly reduced (t =2.569,P =0.000),the contralateral ERPF was significantly reduced (t =3.889,P =0.001),and FF had no significant change (t =-0.758,P =0.454).Postoperative side GFR was lower than that of the contralateral (t =-3.283,P =0.002) and postoperative side ERPF was still lower than that of the contralateral (t =-3.351,P =0.001),but on both sides,the FF values were equal (t =-0.361,P =0.719).Preoperative FF was relatively normal in the patients with kidney,and the postoperative FF value change was small (t =O.799,P =O.430);preoperative FF was significantly higher in the patients with kidney,and the postoperative FF value was lower than the preoperative (normal value,t =5.299,P =0.000).Postoperative overall serum creatinine was significantly decreased (t =2.505,P =0.016);but for the patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis,the changes in serum creatinine had no statistical difference (t =1.228,P =0.299);and for the patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis and serum creatinine compared with the preoperative,the changes were decreased significantly (t =2.518,P =0.030);postoperative blood pressure (SBP) was significantly decreased compared with that before operation (t =8.945,P =0.000);antihypertensive drugs taken were decreased significantly compared with the preoperative (t =5.280,P =0.000).Conclusion:For the patients with renal artery stenosis,FF is a useful index to understand the pathophysiological process of renal ischemia.Whether preoperative FF is significantly increased or FF is relatively normal,should be regarded as the indications of renal artery stent implantation.

Objective:To study the influence of r-tPA and urokinase in curative effect and thrombolysis time on patients with acute and severe pulmonary embolism after interventional thrombectomy .Methods:After reviewing and analyzing the clinical data of 19 acute and severe pulmonary embolism patients , we classified them into two groups in accordance with the application of r-tPA and urokinase to compare the changes of their heart rate , blood pressure , pulmonary arterial pressure , arterial partial pressure of oxygen and hemachrome before and after thrombolysis , as well as the thrombolysis effect time the two groups took.Results: The heart rate, blood pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure , arterial partial pressure of oxygen of the patients in both groups gained remarkable improvement after operation ( P<0 .05 );the pulmonary arterial pressure of the r-tPA patient group dropped but not significantly compared with that before operation ( P>0.05); the pulmonary arterial pressure of the urokinase patient group dropped significantly compared with that study before operation ( P<0.05 ); the hemachrome of both patient groups did not significantly drop after operation ( P>0 .05 );the thrombolysis effect time by adop-ting r-tPA was remarkably shorter than that caused in thrombolysis by adopting urokinase ( P<0 .05 ) . Conclusion: Both r-tPA and urokinase are effective in interventional thrombolysis for acute and severe pulmonary embolism .However , r-tPA could significantly shorten the time caused in thrombolysis without increasing any bleeding risk.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and treatment strategy for isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA).Methods Clinical data of 19 consecutive patients with IDSMA were retrospectively analyzed.There were 15 men and 4 women.The mean age was 56 ± 12 (41-84) years old.Fifteen patients presented with abdominal pain and 4 patients had no symptom.The dissections were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography in 18 patients and ultrasonography in 1 patient.Results The dissections were located at the anterior wall of the curvature part of the SMA in all 19 patients.Asymptomatic patients underwent conservative management.One asymptomatic patient with aneurysmal dilation was managed by stent and the 15 symptomatic patients underwent endovascular management.During the mean 7-46 (21 ± 10) months follow-up period,all patients were asymptomatic with patency of SMA.Conclusions The dissection was located at the anterior wall of the curvature part of the SMA.Conservative management can be applied to the asymptomatic patients.For symptomatic patients without intestinal necrosis or artery rupture,stent implantation is recommended,and the curvature of SMA should be covered completely.Endovascular spasmolysis is helpful in relieving pain.

ObjectiveTo compare two treatment methods for acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis:c atheter-directed pharmacomechanical thrombolysis (CDPT,47 cases) and intervention combined surgicaltherapy( IST,14 cases).MethodsThis study includes 61 patients of acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis treated by CDPT or IST.All discharged cases were followed up by telephone for a period of 14 -37 months.ResultsAmong the 61 patients (64 extremities),47 (forty-seven extremities) treated by CDPT,and 14 cases (seventeen extremities) treated by IST.The IST group included three patients of bilateral iliofemoral vein thrombosis,five patients on postoperative status within one month,and three patients in which the iliofemoral vein was not accessible.When discharged from hospital,the effective rate of edema relief is 93.6％ in CDPT group while that is 94.1％ in IST group; Melena occurred in one patient of CDPT group and incision hematoma occurred in one patient of IST group.According to the results of 14 -37 months follow-up,the effective rate of edema relief is 85.0％ in CDPT group while that is 85.7％ in IST group ( x2 =0.004 and the P =0.948).Calf pigmentation occurred in only one patient of CDPT group.The patency rate of vein by BUS examination is 52.6％ in CDPT group while that is 84.6％ in IST group x2 =4.157,P =0.041 ).ConclusionsComparing with CDPT group,IST group has the similar effective rate of edema relief,but has higher patency rate of iliofemoral vein.In case of bilateral acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis,in patients in whom thrombolysis is contraindicated,or when the iliofemoral vein is not accessible,IST is the treatment of choice for acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis.
