Effect of Cyclosporin H on ischemic injury and neutrophil infiltration in cerebral infarct model of rats via PET imaging Ann. Nucl. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-15
Abstract Background Brain ischemia–reperfusion injury is a complex process, and neuroinflammation is an important secondary contributing pathological event. Neutrophils play major roles in ischemic neuroinflammation. Once activated, neutrophils express formyl peptide receptors (FPRs), which are special receptors of a class of chemoattractants and may be potential targets to regulate the activity of

Abstract Fluoro-deoxy glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), the workhorse of nuclear medicine, has limited utility for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), particularly clear cell variant. Thus, various other tracers have been tried for evaluation of RCC. One of the most promising targets for radiotracers is prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed in abundance in carcinoma-associated
