Percutaneous direct radionuclide cystography in children: description of technique and early experience.

AIMS: To describe a new test for vesicoureteric reflux in children and assess patient preference compared to indirect radionuclide cystography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and three toilet-trained children aged between 2.1 and 15.6 years underwent percutaneous injection of 10-20 MBq of 99m-technetium-labelled mercapto-acetyl-triglycine (MAG3) into the full bladder after the application of anaesthetic cream. Gamma camera images of the bladder and renal areas were recorded during a 5-min resting period and during micturition. RESULTS: All procedures were successful, 97 with a single stab. Fifty-four of the 66 children who expressed a preference preferred percutaneous suprapubic injection to intravenous injection. Images were easy to interpret and there were no indeterminate results. Of 200 renal units, 33 refluxed during the resting phase and 31 during micturition. In 24 renal units, reflux was only demonstrated during the resting phase. Reflux was significantly associated with abnormalities on dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scans ( P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The new technique of direct percutaneous radionuclide cystography is described. It was well tolerated by patients. It detects reflux during the resting phase that would be missed on the indirect study and avoids doubt as to whether activity in the renal areas is due to reflux or excretion. Free pertechnetate could be used and would be much cheaper.

Clinical aspects of drug delivery to tumors.

This report describes our experience on enhancement of drug delivery to solid tumors. Results of our preclinical and clinical studies including a randomized prospective phase III trial have validated the concept that enhanced drug delivery can significantly improve the treatment efficacy of intravesical mitomycin C therapy of superficial bladder cancer. The report further describes the roles of interstitial space, drug removal by capillaries, tissue structure and tissue composition on drug distribution. In general, drug distribution favors interstitial space and vasculature, with little penetration in muscles. The transport of highly protein-bound drugs such as paclitaxel and doxorubicin in a solid tumor is retarded by a high tumor cell density and enhanced by drug-induced apoptosis. Results of in vitro studies using solid tumor histocultures and in vivo studies using tumor-bearing animals demonstrate that the delivery of highly protein-bound drugs to tumor can be enhanced using a pretreatment that induces apoptosis and reduces cell density, and by using treatment schedules designed to take advantage of these drug-induced changes in tumor tissue composition.
