Radiosynovectomy is an innovative medical treatment for rheumatoid arthritis joints. A small amount of beta-emitting radiopharmaceutical is injected into the joint with intra-articullar route of administration. An ideal radionuclide for this treatment is beta emitter whose minimal gamma ray emission, tissue penetration between 5 10 mm, has short half life, high chemical purity and non-toxic properties such as Rhenium-188. For delivering the radionuclide to the specific target site in the synovial tissue and preventing the leakage to the lymph, an ideal carrier as particulate or colloidal compounds is requaired. A silica-based nanomaterial called M41S-NH2was developed as therapeutic carriers by Polytechnic Institute of Nuclear Technology, Yogyakarta. The advantage of M41S-NH2is biocompatible and not toxic to human body. As a preliminary experiment, M41S-NH2was labeled using Technetium-99m which has a similar chemical properties with Rhenium-188. The radiolabelling performed in this system is the indirect method. The purpose of this research is to obtain the highest radiochemical purity of radiolabeled99mTc-M41S-NH2by using two co-ligands such as ethylenediaminetetraasetic acid (EDTA) and sodium pyophosphate (PYP). Some parameter such as pH, ratio of SnCl2to co-ligand, ammount of reductor agent, ammount of M41S-NH2were optimized in those experiments. Radiochemical purity determination was conducted by ascending paper chromatography method using Whatman 31-ET as stationary phase and physiological saline (NaCl 0,9%) as mobile phase. The optimum condition obtained from the investigation were by using 10 μg PYP as co-ligand, 10 μg SnCl2as reductor agent, pH 9, and 10 minutes in room temperature as incubation time. More over the highest radiochemical purity obtained from those labeling experiments is 93.42± 0.06 %.

SummaryThe radiochemical purity of the cobalt-57 complex of bleomycin could be enhanced by adjusting the pH of the final product to a value between 5 and 6. This radiopharmaceutical appeared to have better tumor visualizing properties compared to the not neutralized preparation.The clinical use of the cobalt-57 bleomycin complex is however limited by the long physical half-life of the label, causing a risk of radioactive contamination. It appeared to be possible to label bleomycin with radioactive cations (111In3+, 99mTc4+, 197Hg2+ and 67Cu2+) having suitable gamma ray energies and short half-lifes.These bleomycin complexes showed a high radiochemical purity judged by their behaviour on thin layer chromatography, paper chromatography, and electrophoresis, but their application as tumor visualizing radiopharmaceutical turned out to be disappointing compared with cobalt-57 bleomycin.

A source of gamma rays has been found at right ascension 20h15m, declination +35°, with an uncertainty of 6° in each coordinate. Its flux is (1·5 ± 0·8) x 10-4photons cm-2sec-1at 100 MeV. Possible identifications are reviewed, but no conclusion is reached. The mechanism producing the radiation is also uncertain.

AbstractThe experiment SONG (SOlar Neutron and Gamma rays) for the low altitude satellite CORONAS-I is described. The instrument is capable to provide gamma-ray line and continuum detection in the energy range 0.1 – 100 MeV as well as detection of neutrons with energies above 30 MeV. As a by-product, the electrons in the range 11 – 108 MeV will be measured too. The pulse shape discrimination technique (PSD) is used.
