Article Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to perform dosimetry in patients with metastatic prostate cancer treated with Lutetium (Lu) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-617 radiopharmaceutical, calculating organ blood clearance and consequently determining the maximum tolerable treatment activity.
Materials And Methods: Eighteen patients with metastatic prostate cancer were enrolled in the study. Patients were administered 5.55 gigabecquerel (GBq) of Lu-PSMA-617 radiopharmaceutical per treatment cycle through infusion. Blood samples (2 mL each) were collected at 2, 4, 6, 8, 18, 24, 36, and 44 h postinjection to assess the bone marrow absorbed dose. Organ doses were calculated using the OLINDA/EXM software based on scintigraphic images of the 18 patients who received Lu-PSMA-617.
Results: The blood clearance of Lu-PSMA-617 radiopharmaceutical was determined to be bi-exponential. The mean absorbed doses for the parotid glands, kidneys, bone marrow, and liver were found to be 1.18 ± 0.27, 1.05 ± 0.3, 0.07 ± 0.05, and 0.31 ± 0.2 Gy/GBq, respectively. The radiation dose to the bone marrow was significantly lower than that to the kidneys and parotid glands. No dose limitations were necessary for kidneys and bone marrow in any of the patients.
Conclusions: Our dosimetry results indicate that Lu-PSMA-617 therapy is safe in terms of radiation toxicity.

Potential role of miR-29b from mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles in leukemic cell progression.

Crosstalk between leukemic cells and their surrounding mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the bone marrow microenvironment is crucial for the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and is mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs). The EV-specific miRNAs derived from MDS-MSCs remain poorly explored. EVs isolated from HS-5, an immortalized stromal cell line, promoted the proliferation and 5-azacytidine (AZA) resistance of SKM-1 cells.

Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a heritable syndrome characterized by DNA damage repair deficits, frequent malformations and a significantly elevated risk of bone marrow failure, leukemia, and mucosal head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy can prevent marrow failure and lower leukemia risk, but mucosal gene therapy to lower HNSCC risk remains untested. Major knowledge gaps include an incomplete understanding of how rapidly gene-corrected cellular lineages could spread through the oral epithelium, and which delivery parameters are critical for ensuring efficient gene correction.

Background: Bone marrow (BM) lesion differentiation remains challenging, and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may enhance accuracy over conventional methods. We evaluated the diagnostic value and inter-reader reliability of Dixon-based signal drop (%drop) and fat fraction percentage (%fat) as adjuncts to existing protocols.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective two-center study, 172 patients with BM signal abnormalities underwent standardized 1.
Injectable Plant Phosphate Coordination Compound-Based Adhesive Hydrogel Accelerates Osteoporotic Fracture Healing by Restoring Osteoclast/Osteoblast Imbalance.

Osteoporotic fractures are notoriously difficult to heal due to an imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Current treatments often have limited efficacy or adverse side effects, necessitating safer and more effective solutions. Here, we developed an injectable plant-derived phosphate coordination compound-based adhesive hydrogel (MgPA-Gel) to restore bone homeostasis by integrating magnesium ions (Mg)-phytic acid (PA) nanoparticles with aminated gelatin (Gel-NH) and aldehydated starch (AS).

Background: Critically ill pediatric patients admitted to the PICU are highly vulnerable to infections, including invasive fungal diseases and antifungal agents are frequently prescribed. Little is known about antifungal usage in PICUs across Europe.
Methods: A multinational 3-month weekly point-prevalence study for measuring antifungal drug use was organized.
