Effects of defibrotide on peripheral obliterative vascular diseases.

Twenty-nine patients with atherosclerotic obliterative vascular disorder and 9 cases of Buerger's disease were treated with 600 mg defibrotide daily for 10 days and then three times weekly for 3 months. The response to therapy was evaluated from hemostatic parameters, venostasis test (cuff test), treadmill testing, and radionuclide arteriography. We observed increased pain-free intervals in daily life and during treadmill testing. There was also a significantly higher response in the cuff test and improved perfusion as seen by radionuclide arteriography.

Radionuclide imaging of Meckel's diverticulum: cimetidine versus pentagastrin plus glucagon.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of prior administration of cimetidine in radionuclide imaging of Meckel's diverticulum. In three groups of seven rats with artificial Meckel's diverticulum, containing ectopic gastric mucosa, the effects of pentagastrin + glucagon plus 99mTc-pertechnetate, as well as cimetidine premedication plus 99mTc-pertechnetate, and 99mTc-pertechnetate alone were compared to attain improved radionuclide imaging of Meckel's diverticulum. This experimental model suggests that the use of cimetidine seemed to have some advantages: (a) nontarget (intestinal) radioactivity was diminished by cimetidine, (b) the target to nontarget (Meckel's diverticulum to intestinal activity) ratio increased with cimetidine pretreatment. This resulted in an enhanced accumulation of pertechnetate in the ectopic gastric mucosa, and reduced excretion of the radionuclide into the lumen. Consequently, better scintiphotograms and a low rate of false results added to the validity of this method.

99mTc-gentamicin: chemical and biological evaluation.

99mTc-Gentamicin complex, a new agent for renal studies, is prepared by the reduction of pertechnetate by stannous chloride. Organ distribution in rats and paper chromatography with Whatman 3MM paper [developed in n-butanol, acetic acid, and water (4:1:1)] were favored as analytical tools for determination of labeling parameters of 99mTc-Gentamicin. A higher concentration of stannous ion is responsible for the formation of insoluble technetium species which concentrate in the liver. The mean kidney: liver ratio of 10.4:1 was obtained 1 h after injection. This confirms that scintigraphic delineation of kidneys is highly satisfactory.
