Abstract

Purpose: We underwent this study to evaluate the factors which influence labeling efficiency when modified in vivo erythrocyte labeling technique was used. Materials and methods: Thirty healthy volunteers (M:F=19:11, age:$25{\pm}2$ yrs) were enrolled in this study. Totally, two hundred ten samples were obtained from them. The 1 mg of stannous pyrophosphate was injected intravenously at the beginning of labeling. After suitable tinning time (5 min, 20 min, 35 min) passed by, blood (5 mL, 3 mL or 1 mL) was withdrawn into 10 mL syringe previously containing Tc-99m (740 MBq) and anticoagulant (heparin, ACD or CPDA) through 19-gauged scalp needle. The generator ingrowth time of Tc-99m was within 24 hrs in each case. The blood samples were placed on rotating invertor during incubation (10 min, 25 min, 40 min) but some of them were not. Immediately after the conclusion of incubation, the labeled blood specimens to analyze were centrifuged. and then %Unbound Tc-99m was calculated. Statical analysis was used paired T-test and one way ANOVA with SPSS 10.0. Results: The binding efficiency at 1 mL of blood volume was $73{\pm}32%,\;91{\pm}10%$ at 3 mL and $96{\pm}7%$ at 5 mL (p<0.01). The binding efficiency at 5 min of tinning time was $45{\pm}23%,\;98{\pm}6%$, at 20 min and $97{\pm}8%$ at 35 min (p<0.001). The binding efficiency at 10 min of incubation time was $96{\pm}7%,\;95{\pm}12%$ at 25 min and $98{\pm}3%$ at 40 min (p>0.05). The binding efficiency in case of using rotating invertor was $96{\pm}7%$ and the binding efficiency in case of not using it was $87{\pm}18%$ (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between them. In binding efficiency according to kinds of anticoagulants, ACD was $98{\pm}4%$, CPDA was $97{\pm}6%$ and heparin was $89{\pm}20%$ (p<0.001). Conclusion: When modified in vivo erythrocyte labeling technique is used with Tc-99m, the methods to obtain the highest labeling efficiency are as follow. The withdrawing blood volume should be over 3 mL, tinning time should be kept between 20 min and 35 min, and incubation time should be kept between 10 min and 40 min. ACD or CPDA have to be used as a anticoagulant except heparin and the blood samples should be placed on rotating invertor during incubation.

목적: 변형 체내 표지법으로 적혈구 표지시 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자에는 수혈, 환자에게 투여된 약제, 염화주석의 양, 발생기 내부성장 시간, tinning 시간, 배양시간, 혈액 양, 항응고제의 종류, 채취한 혈액을 배양시 rotating invertor 사용 유무 등 매우 다양하다. 저자들은 tinning 시간, 혈액 양, 채취한 혈액을 배양시 rotating invertor 사용 유무, 배양시간, 항응고제의 종류에 따라 변형 체내 표지법으로 적혈구 표지시 높은 결합효율을 유지시키기 위한 최상의 조건을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 3월부터 2004년 2월까지 과거에 빈혈, 혈액응고 질환, 출혈성 질환 등의 질병이 없는 자발적인 지원자 30명(남:여=19:11, 연령: $25{\pm}2$세)을 대상으로 하였다. Tinning시간, 혈액 양, 배양시간과 항응고제의 종류에 대한 실험에서는 각각의 인자마다 15명을 대상으로 45개씩, 모두 180개의 혈액 샘플을 얻었고, rotating invertor 사용유무에 대한 실험에서는 15명을 대상으로 30개를 얻어 총 210개의 혈액 샘플을 얻었다. 채취 한 혈액샘플은 원심분리기에서 상층액과 하층액으로 분리시켜 각각의 결합효율을 계산한 후 SPSS 10.0 프로그램을 이용하여 paired T-test와 one way ANOVA통계 검정을 실시하였다. 결과: Tinning 시간에 따른 결합효율은 5분일 때 $45{\pm}23%$, 20분일 때 $97{\pm}8%$, 35분일 때 $98{\pm}6%$로 20분과 35분에서 유의하게 높은 결합효율을 보였다(p<0.001). 혈액 양에 따른 결합효율은 1 mL일 때 $73{\pm}32%$, 3 mL일 때 $91{\pm}10%$, 5 mL일 때 $96{\pm}7%$로 3 mL와 5 mL에서 유의하게 높은 결합효율을 보였다(p<0.05). Rotating invertor를 사용한 경우 결합효율은 $96{\pm}7%$로 사용하지 않은 경우의 $87{\pm}18%$에 비하여 높았으나 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 배양시간에 따른 결합효율은 10분일 때 $96{\pm}7%$, 25분일 때 $95{\pm}12%$, 40분일 때 $98{\pm}3%$로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 항응고제 종류에 따른 결합효율은 헤파린을 사용한 경우 $89{\pm}20%$, CPDA를 사용한 경우 $97{\pm}6%$, ACD를 사용한 경우 $98{\pm}4%$로 CPDA와ACD를 사용한 경우에 유의하게 높은 결합효율을 보였다(p<0.001). 결론: 변형 체내 표지법으로 적혈구를 표지시 우수한 결합효율을 유지하기 위해서는 채취하는 혈액의 양은 3 mL 이상, 배양시간은 10분 이상(10분-40분), 항응고제는 ACD나 CPDA tinning 시간은 20분 이상(20-35분)을 유지하고, 가능한 rotating invertor를 사용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.
