    • Near infrared spectroscopy measures tissue oxygenation even when there is complete cessation of blood flow. We evaluated near infrared spectroscopy to diagnose testicular torsion and blindly compared its accuracy with that of Doppler ultrasound. We also compared it by immunohistochemical evaluation of hypoxia and cell viability.Rats were randomized to 4 groups, including group 1-720-degree unilateral torsion, group 2-360-degree unilateral torsion, group 4-sham operation and group 4-720-degree unilateral torsion followed by surgical torsion reduction at minute 180. Near infrared spectroscopy and Doppler ultrasound were done blindly at minutes 0, 5, 30, 60, 180 and 400. All torsed and contralateral testicles were excised for pathological examination using hypoxia inducible factor-α for hypoxia and the TUNEL test for apoptosis. We compared all groups with the contralateral testis and the sham operated group.All blinded, near infrared spectroscopy measurements correctly identified the torsed testis after minute 5. Median oxygen saturation in groups 1 and 2 was significantly different compared to that in the sham operated group after minute 5. In group 4 near infrared spectroscopy detected detorsion with the loss of a significant oxygen saturation difference between the affected and the contralateral testicle after detorsion. At minute 400 median oxygen saturation in group 4 was not statistically different compared to that in the sham operated group (p = 0.09) but it was significantly different compared to that in groups 1 and 2 (p <0.001). In each torsed testis oxygen saturation was at least 18.75% lower than in the contralateral testis. In groups 1 and 2 hypoxia inducible factor-α staining in torsed testicles was significantly greater than that in the contralateral organ and the sham operated group. In group 4 hypoxia inducible factor-α staining after detorsion was significantly decreased compared to that in groups 1 and 2. There was no significant difference in the apoptotic index between the experimental and the contralateral testis or the sham operated group.Near infrared spectroscopy is as effective but quicker than Doppler ultrasound for detecting testicular torsion without a radiologist. Near infrared spectroscopy accurately reveals oxygen saturation, which is more vital than blood flow, on which Doppler ultrasound focuses.

    • The kidneys are one of the most exposed non-tumor tissues and regarded as one of the main dose-limiting organs in peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). [177Lu-DOTA0, Tyr3]-octreotate (177Lu-octreotate) has shown promising results in the treatment of somatostatin receptor overexpressing neuroendocrine tumors, but optimization is still needed. The ability to give each patient as much 177Lu-octreotate as possible without inducing nephrotoxicity is necessary for an efficient treatment. However, due to large inter-individual differences in uptake and retention in the kidneys, there is a need for efficient Methods that early can indicate renal injury. A possible way is to identify biomarkers for high risk of radiation nephrotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of using urinary retinol binding protein (RBP), and blood valinhydantoin (VH) as biomarkers of nephrotoxicity on adult mice after 177Lu-octreotate treatment. BALB/c nude mice (n=6/group) were i.v. injected with 60 MBq or 120 MBq of 177Lu-octreotate. The control group was mock treated with saline. Spot urine samples were collected before injection, and 14, 30, 60 and 90 days after injection. Analysis of RBP4 and creatinine was performed using Mouse RBP4 ELISA kit and Creatinine kit from R&D Systems, respectively. Erythrocytes were separated from whole blood samples collected 90 days after injection, and analysed for VH by LC-MS/MS. The ratio between VH and a volumetric standard was calculated. The RBP/creatinine level increased with time in both groups given 177Lu-octreotate, with earlier and higher response for the 120 MBq group. No clear change in VH level between the different groups was observed. The result show that RBP may be a promising new biomarker for radiation induced kidney toxicity. The presently used method based on VH was not sensitive enough to be used as kidney toxicity marker. Further studies on mice are ongoing to validate if RBP4 may be efficient in predicting late nephrotoxicity. In patients, RBP/creatinine levels are followed in urine samples after treatment with 177Lu-octreotate.

  • Transcriptional gene regulation in abdominal organs and the lung after i.v. injection of 211At in mouse
  • 2012

  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Astatine-211 (211At) is a promising radionuclide for radiation therapy with a nearly optimal biological effectiveness of emitted α-particles. Despite its potential, few studies have analysed 211At-induced normal tissue responses in vivo. In order to determine the quality and extent of 211At-induced cellular responses in vivo, the transcriptional gene regulation was analysed in the kidney cortex and medulla, liver, lung, and spleen. Female BALB/c nude mice were i.v. injected with 0.064, 0.64, 1.8, 14, and 42 kBq 211At and killed after 24h. Respective organs were excised and stored at -80°C until further analysis. Extracted total RNA was analysed with the Illumina MouseRef-8 Whole Genome Beadchip platform and data processing was performed with Nexus Expression 2.0. A common strong decrease in the total number of regulated transcripts was seen between 0.64 and 1.8 kBq 211At corresponding to absorbed doses between 2 and 50 mGy for all investigated tissues. Only minor responses in previously identified radiation-associated transcripts could be observed at any exposure. Among tissues at similar absorbed dose levels, the similarity in transcript up- and down-regulation decreased with increased absorbed dose. This phenomenon was more pronounced when the increase in absorbed dose corresponded also to an increase between 0.64 and 1.8 kBq 211At. Biological processes associated with regulated transcripts were categorised to assess the regulatory profiles in each tissue at a given exposure. These profiles showed distinct patterns which mirrored the threshold behaviour on the categorical and sub-categorical level of biological processes. The strong regulatory change demonstrated at the low absorbed doses in the tissues studied might be due to both radiation-induced effects of each tissue and physiological response from radiation-induced effects on the 211At-accumulating thyroid gland. These findings demonstrate the complexity of responses in vivo and highlight the need for a better understanding of the physiology when studying effects of ionizing radiation exposure.

  • Computed tomography staging of pancreatic cancer : a validation study addressing interobserver agreement
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Pancreatology (Print). - : Elsevier BV. - 1424-3903 .- 1424-3911. ; 13:6, s. 570-575

    • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:Ductal adenocarcinoma in the head of the pancreas (PDAC) is usually unresectable at the time of diagnosis due to the involvement of the peripancreatic vessels. Various preoperative classification algorithms have been developed to describe the relationship of the tumor to these vessels, but most of them lack a surgically based approach. We present a CT-based classification algorithm for PDAC based on surgical resectability principles with a focus on interobserver variability.METHODS:Thirty patients with PDAC undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy were examined by using a standard CT protocol. Nine radiologists, representing three different levels of expertise, evaluated the CT examinations and the tumors were classified into four categories (A-D) according to the proposed system. For the interobserver agreement, the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was estimated.RESULTS:The overall ICC was 0.94 and the ICCs among the trainees, experienced radiologists, and experts were 0.85, 0.76, and 0.92, respectively. All tumors classified as category A1 showed no signs of vascular invasion at surgery. In category A2, 40% of the tumors had corresponding infiltration and required resection of the superior mesenteric vein/portal vein (SMV/PV). One of two tumors in category B2 and two of three in category C required SMV/PV resection. All six patients in category D had both arterial and venous involvement.CONCLUSION:There is almost perfect agreement among radiologists with different levels of expertise in regards to the local staging of PDAC. For tumors in a more advanced preoperative category, an increased risk for vascular involvement was noticed at surgery.

    • The kidneys are the dose limiting organ when patients undergo 177Lu-octreotate therapy. The purpose of the present study was to investigate alterations in gene expression levels in the kidney following exposure to various absorbed doses of 177Lu. Female Balb/c mice were i.v. injected with 1.3-140 MBq 177Lu-octreotate, corresponding to an absorbed dose to the kidneys of 0.13-13 Gy. Control animals did not receive any 177Lu-octreotate. The animals were killed 24 hours after injection and the kidneys were removed, followed by dissection of the kidney medulla and cortex. Total RNA was extracted and processed using the Illumina Mouse-Ref-8 Whole-Genome Expression Beadchips to identify differentially expressed transcripts between irradiated and non-irradiated kidney tissues. The total number of differentially regulated transcripts was 480 and 281 in the kidney medulla and cortex, respectively. Of these, 39 and 32 transcripts were regulated at all absorbed doses in the two renal tissues. Of the affected biological processes, three and five processes were affected at all absorbed dose levels in the medulla and cortex, respectively; glycerol metabolism, immune response, and defense response in the medulla, and immune response, amino acid transport, circadian rhythm, rhythmic processes, and regulation of lipoprotein lipase activity in the cortex. In general, metabolic processes were strongly expressed at all absorbed dose levels studied, however, inversely related to increasing absorbed dose. Furthermore, cellular and developmental processes were strongly associated with kidney medulla, while a strong association with transport and immune response was seen in kidney cortex. The results demonstrate distinct differences in the response seen after 177Lu exposure to different absorbed doses. Effects on metabolism and stress responses were frequently seen, while no processes associated with maintaining DNA integrity were found, which indicates a very diverse response following 177Lu exposure.

  • Memory aging and brain maintenance
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Trends in cognitive sciences. - : Elsevier BV. - 1364-6613 .- 1879-307X. ; 16:5, s. 292-305

    • Episodic memory and working memory decline with advancing age. Nevertheless, large-scale population-based studies document well-preserved memory functioning in some older individuals. The influential 'reserve' notion holds that individual differences in brain characteristics or in the manner people process tasks allow some individuals to cope better than others with brain pathology and hence show preserved memory performance. Here, we discuss a complementary concept, that of brain maintenance (or relative lack of brain pathology), and argue that it constitutes the primary determinant of successful memory aging. We discuss evidence for brain maintenance at different levels: cellular, neurochemical, gray- and white-matter integrity, and systems-level activation patterns. Various genetic and lifestyle factors support brain maintenance in aging and interventions may be designed to promote maintenance of brain structure and function in late life.

  • Preserved Hippocampus Activation in Normal Aging as Revealed by fMRI
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Hippocampus. - : Wiley. - 1050-9631 .- 1098-1063. ; 21:7, s. 753-766
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The hippocampus is deteriorated in various pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and such deterioration has been linked to memory impairment. By contrast, the structural and functional effects of normal aging on the hippocampus is a matter of debate, with some findings suggesting deterioration and others providing evidence of preservation. This constitutes a crucial question since many investigations on AD are based on the assumption that the deterioration of the hippocampus is the breaking point between normal and pathological aging. A growing number of fMRI studies specifically aimed at investigating hippocampal engagement in various cognitive tasks, notably memory tasks, but the results have been inconclusive. Here, we optimized the episodic face-name paired-associates task in order to test the functioning of the hippocampus in normal aging. Critically, we found no difference in the activation of the hippocampus between the young and a group of older participants. Analysis of individual patterns of activation substantiated this impression. Collectively, these findings provide evidence of preserved hippocampal functioning in normal aging.

  • Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) express somatostatin receptors and bind radiolabeled somatostatin analogs.
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Acta oncologica (Stockholm, Sweden). - 1651-226X .- 0284-186X. ; 52:4, s. 783-792
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) can be effectively treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, some patients with GIST develop drug resistance, and alternative treatment strategies are therefore needed. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR) in GIST as a target for peptide receptor-mediated radiotherapy (PRRT). Material and methods. Expression profiling of SSTR1-5 was performed on biopsies from 34 GISTs (16 gastric tumors, 15 small intestinal tumors, and three rectal tumors). SSTR scintigraphy ((111)In-octreotide) and measurement of (111)In activity in tumor specimens was performed in seven patients. Uptake and internalization of (177)Lu- octreotate was studied in primary cell cultures from two patients. Results. Quantitative PCR analysis showed expression of SSTR1 and SSTR2 in the majority of tumors, while SSTR3-5 were expressed at low levels. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the presence of SSTR1 and SSTR2 proteins in all GISTs, and SSTR3-5 in a subset of tumors. Diagnostic imaging by SSTR scintigraphy, using (111)In-octreotide, demonstrated tumor uptake of (111)In in three of six GIST patients. Measurement of (111)In activity in excised tumor specimens from five patients gave tumor-to-blood (T/B) activity ratios of between eight and 96. Tumor cells in primary culture (gastric and small intestinal GIST) specifically bound and internalized (177)Lu when incubated with the therapeutic compound (177)Lu-octreotate for 4-48 hours (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Peptide receptor-mediated radiotherapy via SSTR may provide a novel treatment strategy in carefully selected GIST patients with TKI-resistant tumors.
