Dipyridamole thallium imaging is one of the most widely accepted means of evaluating patients with suspected or known coronay artery disease. The results of thallium imaging help diagnose coronary artery disesse (CAD), determine the hemodynamic significance of coronary stenosis, evaluate viability of myocardium, assess the outcome of therapeutic interventions and stratify patients according to their risk for luther cardiac events. An increased lung thallium uptake and transient LV dilation has been reported as poor prognostic indicator and associated with extensive and severe coronary artery disease. We quantitated lung/heart uptake ratio (l/HUR) and transient left ventricular dilation ratio in 44 patients and 17 controls undertaking dipyridamole thallium-201 scintigraphy. The results are as follows: 1) The lung/heart uptake ratio was high in patients with CAD and which became higher according to increasing number of diseased vessel. The L/HUR of patients with low LVEF (<35%) was lower than those with normal LVEF. 2) Transient left ventricular dilation ratio of CAD patients had no close relation between numbers of diseased vessels and was not higher than normals. But transient left ventricular dilation ratio of patients with myocardial infartion was higher than normals. We concluded that lung/heart uptake ratio seems to be sensitive marker for severity of CAD and myocardial function, but transient left ventricular dilation ratio alone is not sufficient to be a marker for severe and extensive CAD.

A 57 year old female patient was diagnosed as primary hyperparathyroidism after incidental finding of hypercalcemia. She was treated with radioiodine for Graves disease twenty years ago. Preoperative localization procedures with sonography and CT were unrevealing but 201 thallium scintiscan clearly demonstrated ectopic parathyroid adenoma which was confirmed by surgery. Brief review of the preoperative parathyroid localization procedure was done and the relationship between radioiodine therapy and hyperparathyroidism was discussed.

Thallium-201 (²⁰¹Tl) is a medical radioisotope which emits gamma rays when it decays and used in myocardial perfusion scans in single-photon emission tomography due to its similar properties to potassium. Currently, the Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences is the only institution producing ²⁰¹Tl in Korea, and optimization of ²⁰¹Tl production research is necessary to meet supply compared to domestic demand. To this end, technical analysis of plating target production and chemical separation methods essential for ²⁰¹Tl production research is conducted. It deals with the process of generating and separating ²⁰¹Tl radioisotope and target production, It can be generated through a nuclear reaction such as ^natHg(p,xn)²⁰¹Tl, ²⁰¹Hg(p,n)²⁰¹Tl, ^natPb(p,xn)²⁰¹Bi → ²⁰¹Pb → ²⁰¹Tl, ²⁰⁵Tl(p,5n)²⁰¹Pb → ²⁰¹Tl, and considering impure nuclide generated simultaneously with the use of proton beam energy of 35 MeV or less, it is intended to be produced using the ²⁰³Tl(p,3n)²⁰¹Pb→²⁰¹Tl nuclear reaction. In particular, the chemical separation of Tl is a very important element, and the chemical separation methods that can separate it is broadly divided into four types, including solid phase extraction, liquid-liquid, electrochemical, and ion exchange membrane separation. Some chemical separations require additional separation steps, such as methods using selective adsorption. Therefore, this technical report describes four chemical separation methods and seeks to separate high-purity ²⁰¹Tl using a method without additional separation steps

Effect of inhibitors on Vibrio parahaemolyticus cell growth and its urease activity was studied. The growth of the bacterium and the enzyme activity were inhibited by the addition of 0.02% p-hydroxymercuric benzoate, $HgCl_2$and $AgNO_3$. However, same concentration of boric acid, thallium acetate and $Pb(NO_3)_2$ did not affect the cell growth but inhibited urease activity by 25%, 29%, and 38%, respectively. Acetohydroxamic acid was the most potent inhibitor on cell growth by inhibiting 40% but did not affect urease activity. To investigate the effect of inhibitors on urease activity, urease was purified and confirmed on SDS-PAGE. The purified urease was inhibited 100% by the addition of 1 mM acetohydroxamic acid and $AgNO_3$but no inhibition was occurred by the addition of the same concentration of thallium acetate. and the addition of 0.01 mM of $HgCl_2$ and acetohydroxamic acid inhibited the purified urease activity by 39% and 24%, respectively. On 0.1 millimolar basic, acetohydroxamic acid and $HgCl_2$inhibited 4 times more active in urease inhibition than p-hydroxymercuric benzoate whereas no inhibition was occurred either thallium acetate or $Pb(NO_3)_2$.

TlCl2(TCNQ)2.5 and Tl(TCNQ)3 were obtained from the reaction of LiTCNQ (TCNQ=tetracyanoquinodimethane) and TlX3 (X=Cl and NO3). These compounds were characterized by spectroscopic(IR, UV, EPR), electrochemical methods, and electrical conductivity measurements. Thermal analysis (TG, DSC) was also conducted. The room temperature electrical conductivities of these compounds are in the range of semiconductors. Spectroscopic studies indicate that Tl(TCNQ)3 has fully ionized TCNQ- ions in a form of simple salt, whereas TlCl2(TCNQ)2.5 is consisted of TCNQ- and TCNQ0 as a complex salt. EPR values of TCNQ- radical anion are 1.999 in both compounds and the signal attributable to metal ion is not observed, suggesting that any unpaired electrons are localized on TCNQ radicals, and metal atoms have diamagnetic state. Ligand decomposition and reduction process are simultaneously progressed in both compounds above at 200 ℃. The endothermic activation energy of TlCl2(TCNQ)2.5 is shown somewhat larger than that of Tl(TCNQ)3, it may be due to Tl-Cl bond strength. The mid-peak potentials of these compounds are very similar to those of TCNQ and the values of Epa and Epc are almost equal to 1. The wave of thallium ion is not detected in cyclic voltammogram, hence the redox processes of the complexes might be mainly localized to the TCNQ ligand rather than thallium ion.

9種의 選擇된 탈리움硼硅酸유리와 21種의 同類組成을 變化시킨 유리에 對하여 物理化學的 性質을 檢討하였다. 이들 組成에 依한 性質의 變化曲線은 여러 點에서 酸化리티움, 소다 및 酸化鉛들을 包含하는 다른 硼硅酸유리와 類似하였다. 탈리움 硼硅酸유리의 組成에 따른 成質의 變化曲線에 極少點이 나타났는데, 이는 $Na_2O-B_2O_3-SiO_2$유리에서 關察된 바와 같이 硼素結合의 變化에 基因되는 것 같다. 탈리움 이온이 硼硅酸유리에 미치는 主 影響을 綜合해 보면 다음과 같다. 1) 탈리움 이온을 添加함으로써 密度, 屈折率, 물에 對한 溶解度, 熱線膨脹係數, 誘電恒數 等이 增加되었다. 2) 탈리움 濃度을 增加시킴으로써 유리의 軟化點이 降下되었고, 紫外線 照射에 依하여 螢光이 생겼으며, 赤外線 $15{\mu}$까지의 吸收端이 不明確해 졌다. $Tl_2O-B_2O_3-SiO_2$ 系에서 廣範한 液體不混合性이 電子顯微鏡에 依해 밝혀졌다. 不混合性은 $B_2O_3-SiO_2$ 二成分系에 對하여 約 $Tl_2O$ 55wt.%의 組成範圍內에서 나타났다. 不混合性유리는 多硅酸과 多硅素相으로 分離 構成되어 있음이 酸處理에 依하여 밝혀졌다.

목적 : ATP는 작용 시간이 빠르고 반감기가 짧은 효과적인 관상동맥 확장제로 알려져 있어 이를 심근관류 SPECT의 부하 약물로 사용 할 때에 부작용의 빈도와 안전성, 그 진단적 가치에 대해 알아 보고자하였다. 대상 및 방법: 관상동맥 질환이 의심되는 319명의 환자를 대상으로 ATP 부하(0.08 mg/kg/ min for 6min) T1-201 심근관류 SPECT를 실시하여 그 부작용을 조사하고 관상동맥 조영술과 비교하였다. 결과: 76.5%의 환자에서 부작용이 발생하였으나 일시적이고 경미하였으며, 모든 환자에서 ATP 주입을 끝낼 수 있었고 aminophylline이 필요했던 환자는 2명이었다. 관상동맥 조영술과 비교한 결과, 예민도 80%, 특이도 90% 였다. 결론: 6분간 0.08mg/kg/min의 ATP 주입 용량을 사용한 본 연구 결과에서 ATP 부하 심근관류 SPECT는 관상동맥 질환의 진단에서 adenosine이나 dipyridamole을 이용했을 때보다 부작용의 발생 빈도 및 부작용의 정도가 낮아 안전하게 사용될 수 있으며 진단 성능도 동등한 것으로 생각된다.
