Introduction: Nano radio-pharmaceutical therapy (NRPT) is a new method for solid tumor therapy. The treatment uses a radioactive form of radionuclide encapsulated in the poly amido amine dendrimers. The poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have attracted attentions for cancer treatment by their characteristics of targeted drug carriers, delivery agents, and imaging agents in hu...

Introduction: Bleomycins are DNA-binding biomolecules, which can be used as targeted therapy carriers when labeled with particle-emitters such as Yb-175. In this work the development of Yb-175 bleomycin (Yb-BLM) has been reported. Methods: Yb-175 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron irradiation (3 × 10 n.cm.s) of natural Yb2O3 samples at various neutron fluxes and irradiation times. The rad...

OBJECTIVE Optimized production and quality control of ytterbium-175 (Yb-175) labeled pamidronate and alendronate complexes as efficient agents for bone pain palliation has been presented. METHODS Yb-175 labeled pamidronate and alendronate (175Yb-PMD and 175Yb-ALN) complexes were prepared successfully at optimized conditions with acceptable radiochemical purity, stability and significant hydro...

      Bone is the third most common site of metastatic disease. Bone pain is the major source of morbidity associated bone metastasis. Bone-seeking radiopharma- ceuticals have been applied for many years. The ability to simultaneously treat multiple sites of disease with a more probable therapeutic effect in earlier phases of metastatic disease is one of the advantages of radiopharmaceuticals. ...

Selection of operating wavelength of the Yb-doped fiber-ring lasers using longperiod fiber gratings (LPFGs) is suggested. In the proposed method, customized LPFG that sustains high powers serves as a broad-band rejection filter. It modifies the net gain profile of the laser, enabling the peak gain to occur at a designed wavelength. Spectral range of oscillation between 1050-1110 nm was experime...
