Technetium-99m-ubiquicidin scintigraphy in the detection of infective endocarditis.

چکیده
We present a case of infective endocarditis (IE) diagnosed by the increased (99m)Tc-UBI specific uptake in the tricuspid valve region. In conclusion, our case data may indicate a first pass-like distribution with strong avidity of the tracer to infective endocarditis, facilitating image interpretation.

Technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate imaging of experimental infective endocarditis.
Technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) cardiac scintigraphy was performed in 15 rabbits with experimental Streptococcus sanguis aortic valve infective endocarditis. The animals were imaged five to seven days after the administration of bacteria, and in each case abnormal accumulation of the tracer was visualized in the region of the aortic valve. Three types of cardiac scintigraphic ...
متن کاملThe role of 99mTc-Ubiquicidin (UBI) and 99mTc-IgG scintigraphies in diagnosis of acute appendicitis: A preliminary result
Introduction: Appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies. In spite of the relatively high rate of negative appendectomy, as a result of miss diagnosis, uncertainty of diagnosis still continues to challenge physicians. The objective of this prospective study was to investigate the role of 99mTc-Ubiquicidin (UBI) scintigraphy in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and ...
متن کاملThree different procedures in labeling of Ubiquicidin with technetium 99m: a comparative study
Background: UBI 29-41 (a derivative of antimicrobial peptide ubiquicidin) labelled with 99mTc is reported to discriminate between bacterial infections and sterile inflammatory processes. In this study, three lyophilized kit were performed, one of them based on the direct labelling with only SnCl2 as reducing agent , and other two based on 6- hydrazinopyridine-3-carboxylic acid (HYNIC) and trici...

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of prednisolone on the sensitivity of bone scanning to detect the simulated closed fracture in the rat tibia. Methods: A total number of forty eight adult, male NMRI rats randomly assigned into two parts, one part for 4 and other for 8 weeks experiments. Each part has been divided into four groups, one group not receivi...
متن کاملTc-UBI 29-41 Scintigraphy Imaging in Preferentially Detection Infection from Sterile Inflammation among Diabetic Patients with Suspected Foot Infection
Ubiquicidin 29-41 (UBI 29-41) is an antimicrobial peptide with six positively charged residues which preferentially binds to the negatively charged groups present on the microbial membrane by electrostatic interaction at the foci of infection. For this reason UBI 29-41 has been suggested to label by 99m Tc ( 99m Tc-UBI 2941)directly or by using coligand reagents like 6-hydrazinopyridine 3-carbo...
