| Research Abstract |
We have developed In-111 labeled activated carbon microspheres (111In-CH44) for use in analysis of mammary lymph flow by double isotope method. ^<111>In-CH44 was made by the NaI complex method. The labeling rate immediately after preparation was more than 99% at pH11 and 37ﾟC, and stability was maintained for 24hr under continuous shaking. The rate of release In-111 from ^<111>In-CH44 was found to be 23% at 6hr in a simulation model. The result of analysis of lymph flow in 19 rats and of popliteal lymphoscintigraphy in rabbits suggested that 111-In-CH44 is useful in mammary lymphoscintigraphy and the detail analysis of mammary lymph flow. When 1ml(0.3mCi,11.1MBq)of ^<111>In-CH44 was injected into the mammary glands of 2 patients with breast tumors, the axillary and parasternal lymph nodes were visualized clearly. In 8 patients with breast cancer studied by the double isotope method, 1ml(0.3mCi,11.1MBq) of 111In-CH44 was injected before operation into the outer side of the mammary gland, and 1ml(2.0mCi,74MBq)of ^<99m>Tc-CH44 into the inner side, and radioactivity of each isotope in surgically dissected lymph nodes was counted. In 8 patients with parasternal lymph nodes dissection, percent uptake by total dissected nodes of ^<111>In-CH44 was about 0.42% and that of ^<99m>Tc-CH44 was 0.66% Mean distribution of radioactivity of ^<111>In-CH44 and ^<99m>Tc-CH44 in each regional lymph node group was as follows: brachial and subscapular 2.3% and 0.5%; central, pectoral and subpectoral 81.4% and 74.1%; interpectoral 0% and 1.8%; infraclavicular 1.9% and 5.7%; highest infraclavicular 0.4% and 0%; and parasternal 16.3% and 19.1%. Thus mammary lymph flow in the same patient can be evaluated using two isotopes at the same time.
These results suggest that double isotope method using ^<111>In-CH44 and ^<99m>Tc-CH44 is useful in the detailed analysis of mammary lymph flow.
