Lymphoscintigraphy by sc injection of 67Ga-citrate.

Lymphoscintigraphy with SC injection of 67Ga-citrate was carried out on patients with lymph node metastasis and malignant lymphoma. The dose given at each injection site was about 200 muCi and scintigraphy was started about 5 min after injection. Metastatic lymph nodes and malignant lymphoma were successfully imaged. This positive delineation corresponded well to cold lesions detected by lymphoscintigraphy with 99mTc-rhenium colloid in metastatic lymph nodes. Hotter lesions in malignant lymphoma were scanned positively with 99mTc-rhenium colloid by this method. In in vitro studies, incorporation of 67Ga-citrate in HeLa S3 cells was about 4 times that in macrophages, when the incubation time was 1 h, while colloidal uptake by macrophages was 13 times that by HeLa S3 cells. The binding of 67Ga to transferrin in lymph and pinocytosis are suggested mechanisms of localization. A combination of colloid- and sc 67Ga-lymphoscintigraphy would be of value in the diagnosis of lymph node disease.

Effects of prostaglandin on experimental bone malignancy and on scintigrams of bone and marrow.

The correlation between prostaglandin E (PgE) and scintigrams of bone (Tc-99m MDP) and bone marrow (Tc-99m SC) was investigated in normal and VX-2-bearing rabbits. PgE in plasma of normal rabbits was 486.2 +/- 185.7 pg/ml (n = 86) and the maximum-to-minimum (max/min) ratio was 1.85 +/- 0.26 at 4 wk after tumor implantation. In rabbits with VX-2 transplanted into femoral muscles, PgE was in the normal range unless the tumor invaded bone. PgE did not increase significantly in rabbits when the tumor was transplanted into the marrow cavity. When tumor invaded bone, PgE increased markedly (to 1335 +/- 584 pg/ml). Elevation of PgE did not necessarily coincide with the appearance of positive bone scans. PgE in an indomethacin-treated group was not higher than in the untreated group. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the time of appearance of abnormal bone scans. However, when the number of transplanted cells in the bone marrow was reduced, the treatment with indomethacin delayed the increase in tracer uptake in the affected bone and resulted in a photon-deficient area. Indomethacin may suppress the local acceleration of calcium metabolism.

Confirmation of dialysate leakage by intraperitoneal administration of radioactive colloid.

A 29-year-old man who had been on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was admitted to our hospital because of pleural effusion. Radioactive colloid studies with intraperitoneal administration revealed a pleuroperitoneal communication. After pleurodesis by the administration of fibrin glue and antiplasmin into the thoracic cavity, the pleural effusion did not reaccumulate and there was no evidence of pleuroperitoneal communication by radioactive colloid study.
