Production, quality control and biological evaluation of 153Sm-TTHMP as a possible bone palliation agent
Introduction: Various bone palliative therapeutic agents have been developed and widely used for bone metastasis such as 153Sm-EDTMP. In this study, production, quality control and biodistribution studies of a newly developed therapeutic compound have been presented followed by imaging studies in wild-type rodents. Methods: 153Sm-TTHMP was prepared starting from 153<...
متن کاملProduction, Quality Control and Biological Evaluation of 166Ho-PDTMP as a Possible Bone Palliation Agent
Objective(s):In this study, 166Ho-1,2-propylene di-amino tetra(methy1enephosphonicAcid) (166Ho-PDTMP) complex was prepared as a bone palliation agent. Materials and Methods:The complex was successfully prepared using an in-house synthesized EDTMP ligand and 166HoCl3. Ho-166 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron irradiation (1 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1) of natural Ho(NO3)3 samples followed by radio...
متن کاملA Scale-up Design Procedure for Rotating Biological Contactors
A scale-up design procedure, based on a new physical mass transfer (PMT) model, whichdescribes the performance, for aerobic rotating biological contactors (RBC’s) is developed. This scale-up procedure can be used to determine the disc surface area needed to prevent an oxygen limitation or to obtain a specific degree of treatment. In contrast to the empirical, and most previous RBC performance m...
متن کاملMonitored releases of Rhinoncomimus latipes (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a biological control agent of mile-a-minute weed (Persicaria perfoliata), 2004–2008
Mile-a-minute weed, Persicaria perfoliata (L.) H. Gross, is an invasive annual vine of Asian origin that has developed extensive monocultures, especially in disturbed open areas in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. A host-specific Asian weevil, Rhinoncomimus latipes Korotyaev, was approved for release in North America in 2004, and weevils have been reared at the New Jersey Departmen...
متن کاملEffective Augmentative Biological Control – Importance of Natural Enemy Dispersal, Host Location, and Post-release Assessment
Augmentative biological control in outdoor cropping systems is often considered to be ineffective. High release rates are often needed for effective control and may be so frequently required that they become prohibitively expensive, especially when natural enemies are purchased from commercial suppliers. Natural enemies released argumentatively may provide control levels that are considered too...
