Abstract:

Radiolabeled Microspheres of human serum albumin (MSA) is of great importance in the analysis of regional lung perfusion. Preparation of MSA kit has been installed in our Division recently is carried out in two stages: 1. Production of albumin sphere particles with suitable sizes by using the spinning disk technique. 2. Formulation of MSA as a radiopharmacutical kit. So it can be labelled simphy with TC - 99m in a short time and uptaken by the lungs within 15 mins when injected intravenously. More than 90% of Microsphere particles of injected dose are trapped by about 0.2% of pulmonary capillaries, which remain cssentialy unchanged within the first two hours after injection. After labelling the suspended Microspheres having a diameter between 10-50 mm and there are about 750000 to 850000 particles by vial. The biological half life of Microspheres in the lungs is 4 hours. All the procedure of preparation is under control and each vial is presented sterile, Pyrogen-free Lyophilized Mixture under vacum. No significant antigenic properties have been observed with denatured Albumin. The observed symptoms were attributed rather to the size and quantity of injected Microsphers. Many patients had repeated lung scans. However, no case of anaphylatoid reaction to human albumin microsphere has been reported.

Preparation and labeling of HMPAO kit in Iran [Persian]

In recent years, several radiopharmaceuticals have been developed for imaging regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) such as 75Se labelled PIPSE and MOSE, ²º¹TI labelled DDC and 99mTc labelled HMPAO. HMPAO with two asymmetric carbon atoms (At the 3 and 9 positions), produces d,1 and meso isomers, only one of which is retained in the brain. Rapid intracellular conversion of 99mTc-d,1-HMPAO to...

Preparation of Tc-sn-colloid kit for liver-spleen imaging [Persian]

When Tc-99m-sulfur colloid was introduced as an ideal liver-spleen agent in nuclear medicine, many other types of colloids followed by different manufacturers. They hoped to find a suitable colloidal agent, contrary to sulfur colloid, which is easy to use, and less sensitive to the low contamination of aluminum ions. One of this type of colloid agents, is Tc-99-tin-colloid which is prepar...

Fluoxetin Competes with Cortisol for Binding to Human Serum Albumin

Human serum albumin (HSA) is an important protein that carries variety of substances like some hormones and drugs in blood. Pharmacological studies of the interaction of many drugs and HSA are reported during several decades, specially recently years. Interaction of cortisol and fluoxetine hydrochloride (FLX) (as a common anti-stress drug) with HSA (as their carrier in blood) has been studied s...
