Is Baker's cyst a risk factor for pulmonary embolism?

We encountered a 73-year-old man with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and Baker's cyst. Venography revealed that the right popliteal vein was compressed by Baker's cyst and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) had developed. DVT associated with Baker's cyst is rather common and these two conditions are thought to be causally related. Baker's cyst is the most frequent mass lesion in the popliteal region. We suggest that Baker's cyst is a risk factor for PE as well as surgery and trauma.

The effect of drugs on the labeling of blood elements with technetium-99m.

The influence of drugs on the labeling of red blood cells and plasma proteins with 99mTc has been reported. Any drug, which alters the labeling of the tracer, could be expected to modify the disposition of the radiopharmaceuticals. Red blood cells (RBC) labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) are used for several evaluations in nuclear medicine. We have evaluated the effect of Thuya occidentalis, Peumus boldus and Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) extracts on the labeling of RBC and plasma and cellular proteins with 99mTc. Blood was incubated with the drugs. Stannous chloride (SnCl2) solutions and 99mTc were added. Plasma (P) and blood cells (BC) were separated. The percentage of radioactivity (%ATI) bound to P and BC was determined. The %ATI on the plasma and cellular proteins was also evaluated by precipitation of P and BC samples with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and isolation of soluble (SF) and insoluble (IF) fractions. The analysis of the results shows that there is a decrease in %ATI (from 97.64 to 75.89 percent) in BC with Thuya occidentalis extract. The labeling of RBC and plasma proteins can be decreased in presence of tobacco. This can be due either a direct or indirect effect (reactive oxygen species) of tobacco. The analysis of radioactivity in samples of P and BC isolated from samples of whole blood treated with Peumus boldus showed a rapid uptake of the radioactivity by blood cells in the presence of the Peumus boldus, whereas there was a slight decrease in the amount of 99mTc radioactivity in the TCA-insoluble fraction of plasma. This study shows that extracts of some medicinal plants can affect the radiolabeling of red blood cells with 99mTc using an in vitro technique.

Disinfection of secondary effluents using tin oxide anodes.

Direct current applied to a tin oxide anode submersed in water has the potential to generate hydroxyl radicals, a strong chemical oxidant. Tin oxide anode systems, which may represent a viable alternative disinfectant, were investigated for the disinfection of secondary effluents. Coliform bacteria in the effluent were effectively inactivated in a bench-scale tin oxide disinfection system. The number of anodes in the tin oxide disinfection system influenced the steady-state concentration of hydroxyl radicals and, consequently, the contact time necessary to achieve a specified dose. The life expectancy of the anodes was greater than 30 days and no appreciable loss of tin was observed over a 5-day period. A preliminary estimate of the capital and operating costs of a pilot- or full-scale tin oxide disinfection system designed to meet a discharge requirement of 23 most probable number/100 mL at a 3 785-m3/d (1-mgd) facility was comparable to UV and chlorination/dechlorination facilities. Based on this preliminary assessment, tin oxide disinfection systems are a promising alternative disinfectant for secondary effluents.

Electrochemical studies oxidation of ciprofloxacin at nano-SnO2/PVS modified electrode and its interaction with calf thymus DNA.

In pH 6.0 phosphate buffer solutions (PBS), a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modifying by nano-tin oxide/polyvinyl sulfonic potassium (nano-SnO2/PVS) exhibited an enhanced effectiveness for the oxidation of ciprofloxacin (CFX), which compared with a bare GCE or a nano-SnO2 modified electrode. In addition we also investigated the electrooxidation mechanism of the fluoroquinolone antibiotics (utilizing ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, sparfloxacin and lomefloxacin) at the modified electrode. Furthermore, gel electrophoresis coupled with electrochemistry and spectra techniques were used to study the interaction of CFX and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA). These acquired data showed that the binding mode of CFX and DNA was mainly an intercalation mechanism.

Effect of liposome surface charge on the stability of technetium (99mTc) radiolabelled liposomes.

Using liposomes radiolabelled by the 99mTechnetium-stannous chloride technique we have investigated the effect of surface charge on the stability of the isotope in vitro and in vivo. Dialysis of 99mTc-labelled positive, negative and neutral liposomes, which had been incubated in either saline or normal rat serum showed no significant loss of the isotope from the liposome surface with only 2 per cent of the isotope dialysed. A comparison of gel chromatography with dialysis confirmed that most of the isotope remained attached to the liposome surface, but it did reveal greater loss of the isotope, between 15 and 23 per cent. The liposome clearance rates obtained from 125I-egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) and 99mTc dual-labelled positive or neutral liposomes were significantly different. The 99mTc marker was cleared five times faster from the positive liposomes and twice as fast from the neutral liposomes as the 125I-EPC integral membrane marker. The 99mTc attached to liposomes with a negative surface charge was stable in vivo and had the same clearance rate from the circulation as the 125I-EPC marker. These results indicate that the commonly used in vitro techniques for assessing liposome radiolabel stability are unsuitable for predicting the stability of the 99mTc in vivo.

Development of metal-resin composite restorative material. Part 5: Evaluation of the bonding between Ag-Sn particle and 4-META coupling agent of the metal-resin composite.

This study evaluated the oxide characteristics on a Ag-Sn particle surface modified by acid and heat in order to understand the bonding mechanism. Nine different Ag-Sn particles including standard Sn, SnO and SnO2 were evaluated by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The particles were also used for preparing the composite to test the flexural properties following the ISO 4049. A high correlation between flexural strength of the composites and Sn3d binding energy of their filler particles was found. Different oxide forms (SnO and SnO2) showed different adhesive abilities to bond with 4-META, regarding the difference in flexural strength of the composite. The highest flexural strength composite showed Sn3d binding energy of its filler at 486.4 eV, which was the SnO binding area. This implies that SnO was responsible for a good bond between particle surface and 4-META coupling agent.

Long-term effects of Ag-containing alloys on mucous tissue present in biopsy samples.

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of alloys containing silver (mainly Ag-Sn alloy) on oral mucous tissue. We observed biopsy tissue specimens from patients diagnosed as having amalgam tattoo and/or metal pigmentation by light and electron microscopy and electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA). In most cases, Ag-Sn alloy was present in the tissue but it could not be confirmed if the alloy originated from amalgam. Distributions of both Ag-S and Ag-Sn have typical patterns. Most Ag forms Ag2S and is stably deposited in three patterns along the collagen, basement membrane, and fibrous cells without inducing any host reaction. On the other hand, Sn forms large granules that contain Ag, S, C, N, P, and Ca, and is in soft state in the tissue. Tissue reactions to the alloy become weaker as time passes.

High RBC labeling efficiency by controlling pretinning with the modified in vivo/in vitro labeling method.

OBJECTIVE: The image quality for gastrointestinal bleeding studies depends on the efficiency of red blood cell labeling. The in vitro technique has been used widely because of its high labeling efficiency. New data for the modified in vivo/in vitro method are lacking. This study reports on the high labeling efficiency that can be obtained with the modified in vivo/in vitro method and the pitfalls to avoid. METHODS: A consecutive series of 91 labeling studies was analyzed. Different amounts of tin, red blood cell concentrations, and infusions of interfering substances also were studied. RESULTS: A mean efficiency of red blood cell labeling of 97% (80%-99%) was obtained. Only 3 cases showed unacceptable results. Suboptimal results were obtained with amounts of tin below 10 microg SnCl2/kg body weight, a reduced hematocrit, and blood transfusion or infusion of HES solution during pretinning. CONCLUSION: The modified in vivo/in vitro red blood cell labeling technique is performed easily, is useful and is comparable to the gold standard in vitro method, provided that the pretinning period is controlled carefully.

[Occupational poisoning with psychiatric manifestations].

Numerous occupational intoxications (acute, chronic and their sequelae) may affect the central nervous system and result in a wide variety of neuropsychiatric effects, ranging from subtle behavioural disturbances to overt psychosis. Chemicals causing such manifestations include many metals and organometals (Hg, Mn, Pb, Al, Sn), pesticides (organophosphates), compounds utilised in the industrial setting as solvents or intermediates (carbon disulfide, hydrocarbons and their halogenated derivatives), and combustion products (carbon monoxide). Some types of toxic insults may not be reflected in any clinical manifestation. However, this type of damage may render the brain more vulnerable to additional insult or accelerate physiological loss of neurones with ageing. Thus, occupational exposures to chemicals (Al, Pb, organic solvents) might be involved in the causation of neurodegenerative diseases--such as Alzheimer's disease--which are usually labelled as "idiopathic". A careful occupational anamnesis is crucial to diagnose work-related psychiatric manifestations and--consequently--to interrupt the toxic exposure, to start therapy, and to promote insurance compensation.

A potentiometric study on oxalate and citrate complexes of tin(II).

The formation of oxalate and citrate complexes of the Sn2+ ion in 1 M Na(ClO4) at 25 degrees C was investigated in the -log[H+] range 2 to 5 by potentiometric titrations using glass and tin amalgam electrodes. The tin concentration was varied from 0.5 to 5 mM and the concentration of the ligands from 1 to 40 mM. The experimental data have been explained by the formation of the oxalato complexes SnC2O4(aq) and Sn(C2O4)2(2-) and of the citrate complexes (C3H5O7(3-) = citrate ion) SnC3H5O7-, SnHC3H5O7(aq), SnH2C3H5O7+ and Sn(OH)C3H5O7(2-). The equilibrium constants were refined by the computer program SUPERQUAD. The final values of the constants on the medium scale and in the infinite dilution reference state are given in Table 2.

N,N-diethyl-N'-benzoylthiourea--a new spectrophotometric reagent for rhenium determination.

The reagent N,N-diethyl-N'-benzoylthiourea produces a green complex with rhenium in hydrochloric acid medium in the presence of tin(II) chloride. The complex extracted into toluene shows an absorption maximum at 383 nm, obeys Beer's law from 1.5 to 22 micrograms ml-1 of rhenium while its molar absorptivity and Sandell sensitivity are 6.66 x 10(3) L mol-1 cm-1 and 0.028 microgram cm-2, respectively. It tolerates the presence of a large number of ions, including Mo(VI), W(VI) and some platinum metals. Job's and the mole ratio methods indicate that the rhenium metal and the chelating agent ratio of 1:2 in solution. The system has been applied to the determination of rhenium on synthetic samples and alumina based catalysts.

Dna damage in peripheral blood nuclear cells assessed by comet assay from individuals submitted to scintigraphic examinations.

Stannous chloride (SnCl2) is employed as a reducing agent to obtain Technetium-99m-labelled radiophamaceuticals in nuclear medicine kits, being injected endovenously in humans. Toxic effects of these kits were not studied, thus making it important to evaluate their impact in humans. In this study, the toxic effects were evaluated from peripheral blood nuclear cells (PBNC) from patients who received radiopharmaceuticals obtained using such kits. The analyses included results performed by comet assay. DNA damage was visualized in PBNC samples collected within a time up to 2 hr, and 24 hr after radiopharmaceutical injection in the patients. Initially we observed an increase of comet signals, which subsequently were reduced to zero after 24 hr. The diminishing of comet amounts probably is associated with DNA repair of damaged cells or with the elimination by apoptosis of cells whose DNA are not repaired.
