RESUMO

Molecular imaging probes such as PET-tracers have the potential to improve the accuracy of tumor characterization by directly visualizing the biochemical situation. Thus, molecular changes can be detected early before morphological manifestation. The A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) is described to be highly expressed in colon cancer cell lines and human colorectal cancer (CRC), suggesting this receptor as a tumor marker. The aim of this preclinical study was the evaluation of [18F]FE@SUPPY as a PET-tracer for CRC using in vitro imaging and in vivo PET imaging. First, affinity and selectivity of FE@SUPPY and its metabolites were determined, proving the favorable binding profile of FE@SUPPY. The human adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 was characterized regarding its hA3AR expression and was subsequently chosen as tumor graft. Promising results regarding the potential of [18F]FE@SUPPY as a PET-tracer for CRC imaging were obtained by autoradiography as ≥2.3-fold higher accumulation of [18F]FE@SUPPY was found in CRC tissue compared to adjacent healthy colon tissue from the same patient. Nevertheless, first in vivo studies using HT-29 xenografts showed insufficient tumor uptake due to (1) poor conservation of target expression in xenografts and (2) unfavorable pharmacokinetics of [18F]FE@SUPPY in mice. We therefore conclude that HT-29 xenografts are not adequate to visualize hA3ARs using [18F]FE@SUPPY.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to quantify the lengths of nerve segments within the brachial plexus. Twenty cadavers were dissected bilaterally, giving a total of 40 brachial plexuses for measurement. Individual lengths of plexus segments were measured and recorded, and means and standard deviations were calculated for all data. Differences between the means were statistically evaluated using the Student's t-test. Only 3 of 16 segments were found to be longer in women on average, which included the anterior division of the superior trunk, the anterior division of the middle trunk and the posterior division of the inferior trunk. All three cords (medial, lateral, and posterior) were found to be significantly different between genders, the longer segments being in males. Significant bilateral differences were also observed when right and left brachial plexuses from each cadaver were compared. Extra lateral heads (ELHs) to the median nerve were found in 50% of brachial plexuses, the anatomy of which varied bilaterally as well as between genders. Awareness of this variability is important both to anatomists and to clinicians who operate on and around the brachial plexus.
