  • 심근관류 스캔에서 약제부하 검사에 많이 이용되는 것으로는 adenosine, dipyridamole, dobutamine등이 있다. 이 약제들이 혈역학 및 thallium의 약동학에 미치는 효과를 검사하기 위하여 저자들은 15명의 건강인을 대상으로 이들 약제를 정맥주사한 후에와 그리고 운동부하를 시행한 후에 thallium-201 신근관류 스캔을 시행하여 thallium의 약동학에 미치는 영향에 대하여 서로 비교하였다. 부작용은 adenosine (87%), dipyridamole(80%), dobutamine (73%)을 정맥주사할 시에 흔히 나타났으나 경미하였다. 1예에서는 dobutamine을 주사할때의 부작용으로 인하여 최대용량을 투여하지는 못한바 있었다. 대상들은 dipyridamole (13%)이나 dobutamine (27%)보다 adenosine (60%)을 선호하였다 (P<0.05). Thallium의 절대 적인 심근섭취는 운동부하 검사보다 adenosine (1.3배), dipyridamole(1.2배), dobutamine(1.4배) 부하시에 더 많았고, 이들 약제 사이에는 유의한 차이는 없었다. Thallium의 심근제거율(%/hr)는 운동부하 검사보다 약제부하한 후에가 더 늦었다. 폐, 간, 비장, 및 내장지역에서 thallium의 섭취 및 제거는 운동부하 검사보다 약제부하시에 더 많았으나, 이들 약제 사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. Dobutamine 투여시의 thallium의 섭취 및 제거는 adenosine 또는 dipyridamole을 투여시의 결과와 상응하였다. 저자들은 adenosine, dipyridamole 및 dobutamine을 이용한 약제부하 thallium-201 심근관류 검사를 시행하는데 코든 대상들에서 어려움 없이 쉽게 시행할 수 있었다. Thallium의 심근내 섭취 및 제거는 각 약제부하에 따라서 다를 수가 있으므로 심근관류 스캔의 정량적인 분석을 시행할 때는 각각 약제에 대한 특별한 진단기준이 마련되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Background : Potassium channel opener (K-opener) opens ATP-sensitive K'-channel located at cell membrane and induces potassium efflux from cytosol, resulting in intracellular hyperpolarization. Newly synthesized K-opener is currently examined for pharmacologic potency by means of rubidium release test from smooth muscle strip pre-incubated with Rb-86. Since in-vivo behavior of thallium is similar to that of rubidium, we hypothesized that K-opener can alter T1-201 kinetics in vivo. Purpose : This study was prepared to investigate the effects of pinacidil (one of potent K-openers) on the T1-201 uptake and clearance in cultured myocyte, and in-vivo biodistribution in mice. Methods : Spontaneous contracting myocytes were prepared to imitate in-vivo condition from 20 hearts of 3-5 days old Sprague-Dawley rat and cultured for 3-5 days before use ($5{\times}10^5$ cells/ml). Pinacidil was dissolved in 10% DMSO solution at a final concentration of 100nM or l0uM and was co-incubated with T1-201 in HBSS buffer for 20-min to evaluate its effect on cellular T1-uptake, or challenged to cell preparation pre-incubated with T1-201 for washout study. Two, 40 or $100{\mu}g$ of pinacidil was injected intravenously into ICR mice at 10 min after $5{\mu}Ci$ T1-201 injection, and organ uptake and whole body retention rate were measured at different time points. Results : Co-incubation of pinacidil with T1-201 resulted in a decrease in T1-201 uptake into cultured myocyte by 1.6 to 2.5 times, depending on pinacidil concentration and activity of T1-201 used. Pinacidil enhanced T1-201 washout by 1.6-3.1 times from myocyte preparations pre-incubated with T1-201. Pinacidil treatment appears to be resulted in mild decreases in blood and liver activity in normal mice, in contrast, renal and cardiac uptake were mildly decreased in a dose dependent manner. Whole body retention ratios of T1-201 were lower at 24 hour after injection with $100{\mu}g$ of pinacidil than control. Conclusion : These results suggest that treatment with K-opener may affect the interpretation of T1-201 myocardial images, due to decreasing thallium accumulation and enhancing washout from myocardium.
