The effect of prednisolone and a short-term prednisolone discontinuation for the diagnostic accuracy of FDG-PET/CT in polymyalgia rheumatica —a prospective study of 101 patients
ConclusionFDG-PET/CT has limited diagnostic accuracy for differentiating PMR from other inflammatory diseases. If FDG-PET/CT is intended for diagnostic purposes, prednisolone should be discontinued to enhance diagnostic accuracy.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04519580).

Clinical translation of a novel FAPI dimer [68Ga]Ga-LNC1013
ConclusionDimerization is an effective strategy to produce FAPI derivatives with favorable tumor uptake, long tumor retention, and imaging contrast over its monomeric counterpart. We demonstrated that [68Ga]Ga-LNC1013, the lead compound without any piperazine moiety, had superior diagnostic potential over [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 and18F-FDG, suggesting the future potential of LNC1013 for radioligand therapy of FAP-positive cancers.

Initial [18F]DCFPyL PET/CT in treatment-na ïve prostate cancer: correlation with post-ADT PSA outcomes and recurrence
ConclusionOur study revealed that pretreatment [18F]DCFPyL uptake in primary or metastatic tumor sites is prognostically relevant in high-risk PCa patients undergoing ADT.Further research is needed to develop robust predictive models in this multifaceted landscape of PCa management.

Disrupted gut microecology after high-dose 131I therapy and radioprotective effects of arachidonic acid supplementation
ConclusionThese findings highlight that ARA, as a key metabolite, substantially contributes to radioprotection. Our study provides novel insights into the pivotal role that the microbiota-metabolite axis plays in radionuclide protection and offers effective biological targets for treating radiation-induced adverse effects.
