    Abstract Purpose: Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1 (TNFR1) and integrin αvβ3 receptor are overexpressed in breast cancer. We hypothesized that a peptide ligand recognizing both receptors in a single receptor-binding probe would be advantageous. Here, we developed a novel 18F-labeled fusion peptide probe [18F]-NOTA-Gly3- E(2PEG4-RGD-WH701) targeting dual receptors (TNFR1 and αvβ3) and evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of this radioactive probe in both MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 xenograft models in mice.
    Methods: The NOTA-conjugated RGD-WH701 analog was radiolabeled with 18F using NOTA-AlF chelation method. We used two PEG4 molecules and Glutamic acid (Glu) to covalently link c(RGDyK) with WH701. Gly3 was also added to further improve the water solubility and pharmacokinetic properties of the probe. The expression of TNFR1 and Integrin αvβ3 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining. The tumor-targeting characteristics of [18F]-NOTA-Gly3-E(2PEG4-RGDWH701) were assessed in nude mice bearing MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 xenografts.
    Results: HPLC analysis of the product NOTA-G3-E (2P4-RGD-WH701) revealed a purity >95%. The yield after attenuation correction was approximately 33.5%±2.8% (n=5), and the radiochemical purity was above 95%. The MDA-MB-231 tumor uptake of [18F]-NOTA-Gly3-E(2PEG4-RGD-WH701) was 1.14±0.14%ID/g, as measured by PET at 40min postinjection (p.i.). In comparison, the tumor uptake of [18F]-NOTA-RGD and [18F]- NOTA-WH701 in MDA-MB-231 xenografts was 0.96±0.13%ID/g and 0.93±0.28%ID/g, respectively. The MCF-7 tumor uptake of [18F]-NOTA-Gly3-E(2PEG4-RGD-WH701) was 1.22±0.11%ID/g, as measured by PET at 40min postinjection (p.i.). In comparison, the tumor uptake of [18F]-NOTA-RGD and [18F]-NOTA-WH701 in MCF-7 xenografts was 0.99±0.18%ID/g and 0.57±0.08%ID/g, respectively.
    Conclusion: [18F]AlF-NOTA-Gly3-E(2PEG4-RGD-WH701) was successfully synthesized and labeled with 18F. The results from the microPET/CT and biodistribution studies of [18F]AlF-NOTA-Gly3-E(2PEG4-RGDWH701) showed that the tracer could specifically target TNFR1 and integrin αvβ3 receptors.

    Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of hepatitis E, has been reported in a wide variety of animals, including birds, but little is known of HEV infection in pet birds in northwest China. The objective of the present investigation was to examine HEV seroprevalence in three species of pet birds, namely, Eurasian siskin, Oriental skylark, and black-tailed grosbeak from Gansu. Serum samples collected from 685 pet birds from August 2011 to September 2012 were examined independently for the presence of antibodies against HEV. A total of 59 (8.31%) pet birds were tested positive for HEV antibodies by the commercially available enzyme immunoassay kits. Of these, the seroprevalence was diverse in different species pet birds; the most frequent level was 10.83% (39/360) in Eurasian siskin, followed by 6.57% (19/289) in Oriental skylark, and 2.29% (1/36) in black-tailed grosbeak. Age and collecting region of pet birds were the main risk factors associated with HEV infection. The present study firstly revealed the seroprevalence of HEV infection in three species of pet birds in northwest China, which provided the baseline data for taking comprehensive countermeasures and measures for effectively preventing and controlling HEV infection in birds.

    Abstract Loperamide is a nonprescription medication commonly used to treat diarrhea. Although it is an opioid, it is very poorly absorbed and well tolerated, with no systemic toxicity at standard doses. In recent years, however, loperamide has been ingested in very large quantities, sometimes with concomitant medications intended to enhance absorption and/or passage across the blood-brain barrier. Most people who misuse loperamide do so for its euphoric effects or to treat symptoms of opioid withdrawal. In addition to the risks of central opioid toxicity, this practice can result in potentially fatal cardiac dysrhythmias, because very high concentrations of loperamide alter the cardiac action potential. Patients will often present with recurrent, unexplained syncope accompanied with marked electrocardiographic abnormalities including QT-interval prolongation, widening of the QRS complex, and dysrhythmias such as torsades de pointes. Treatment involves early identification and discontinuation of loperamide, reversal of central opioid effects if present, and interventions aimed at addressing any cardiac conduction abnormalities. In addition, if there is an underlying opioid use disorder, efforts should be made to refer to specialised addictions care and initiate opioid agonist therapy when appropriate. We review the pharmacology of loperamide and the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and suggested management of loperamide cardiac toxicity.
