For various pituitary adenomas, it has been demonstrated that somatostatin receptor can be present. Pilot studies have shown
that radio-indium labeled pentetreotide allows very good scintigraphic localization of somatostatin receptor-bearing cell
masses. Recently, the presence of CgA in pituitary adenomas has also been demonstrated. MAb A11, raised against CgA, has been
successfully used with a three-step ISG for the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors. Therefore the combined use of three-step
ISG with MAb A11 and radiolabeled somatostatin can be useful in the diagnosis of pituitary adenomas. Twelve patients, 5 secreting
(group A) and 7 nonsecreting (group B) pituitary adenomas, were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent three-step ISG,
and, 2 wk later, scintigraphy with111In-labeled pentetreotide (Octreoscan). Three-step ISG consisted of iv injection of 1 mg of biotinylated MAb A11 (first step),
followed by 10 mg of avidin (second step) and [99mTc]PnAO-biotin (third step). Tomographic imaging were acquired for three-step ISG and Octreoscan at 2 and 4 h after radiotracer
injection, respectively. The results are the following: 2 patients of group A (secreting tumors) had a positive three-step
ISG, whereas all the patients but one of the same group had a positive pentetreotide study; all the patients of group B (nonsecreting
tumors) had a positive three-step ISG and 4 had a positive pentetreotide scintigraphy. These data suggest the utility of the
combined use of these techniques for a better diagnosis of pituitary adenomas. 相似文献

Background
Type 1 diabetes incidence presents a decreasing gradient in Europe from the Nordic countries to the Mediterranean ones. Exception to this gradient is represented by Sardinia, the second largest Mediterranean island whose population shows the highest incidence in Europe, after Finland. The genetic features of this population have created a fertile ground for the epidemic of the disease, however, as well as being strikingly high, the incidence rate has suddenly presented a continuous increase from the ‘50s, not explainable by accumulation of new genetic variants. Several environmental factors have been taken into account, possibly interacting with the genetic/epigenetic scenario, but there are no strong evidences to date.Methods
The present study investigated the hypothesis that geochemical elements could create permissive environmental conditions for autoimmune diabetes. An ecological analysis was performed to test possible correlations between the values of eight elements in stream sediments and type 1 diabetes incidence rate in Sardinia.Results
Analyses revealed negative associations between elements, such as Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Zn, and type 1 diabetes incidence.Conclusions
The results suggest a possible protective role of some elements against the onset of the disease. 相似文献
