Iodine-123-BMIPP kinetics under high glucose levels were examined. The feasibility of 123I-BMIPP imaging after oral glucose loading for the detection of impaired fatty acid metabolism was tested in patients with coronary artery disease.
Fatty acid metabolic imaging with 123I-BMIPP was performed on 29 patients in the fasting state and repeated after oral glucose loading. Myocardial SPECT images were obtained 20 min and 4 hr after the injection of 123I-BMIPP. Myocardial uptake of 123I-BMIPP was calculated by a Ishii-Macintyre method and the clearance of 123I-BMIPP from the myocardium was determined as (early counts-delayed counts) x 100/early counts. Regional accumulation of 123I-BMIPP was scored semiquantitatively from 0 (normal) to 4 (no activity), and the sum of regional scores in each patient was defined as a total defect score (TDS).
Total myocardial uptake of 123I-BMIPP was 1.7% +/- 0.4% in the fasting state and 1.6% +/- 0.3% after oral glucose loading (p < 0.05). Iodine-123-BMIPP clearance from the myocardium was faster after glucose loading than in the fasting state (27% +/- 8% versus 11% +/- 6%, p < 0.01). After glucose loading, 123I-BMIPP clearance was faster in the ischemic myocardium (defined as areas perfused by stenosed coronary artery exceeding 90%) than in the nonischemic myocardium (33% +/- 8% versus 25% +/- 9%, p < 0.05). TDS in the ischemic myocardium increased from 1.8 +/- 0.4 in the fasting state to 2.1 +/- 0.4 after glucose loading (p < 0.01). The sensitivity for detecting coronary stenosis exceeding 90% increased from 55% (11/20) in the fasting state to 75% (15/20) after glucose loading without a loss of specificity (78%, 7/9).
Oral glucose loading enhanced the detection of areas with impaired fatty acid metabolism due to coronary artery narrowing. Iodine-123-BMIPP imaging with oral glucose loading may be a new approach for the noninvasive diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
研究了高血糖水平下碘-123-BMIPP的动力学。在冠状动脉疾病患者中测试了口服葡萄糖负荷后进行123I-BMIPP成像检测脂肪酸代谢受损的可行性。
对29例患者在空腹状态下进行123I-BMIPP脂肪酸代谢成像,并在口服葡萄糖负荷后重复进行。在注射123I-BMIPP后20分钟和4小时获取心肌SPECT图像。采用石井-麦金太尔法计算心肌对123I-BMIPP的摄取,并将123I-BMIPP从心肌中的清除率确定为(早期计数-延迟计数)×100/早期计数。123I-BMIPP的区域积聚从0(正常)到4(无活性)进行半定量评分,每位患者的区域评分总和定义为总缺损评分(TDS)。
空腹状态下心肌对123I-BMIPP的总摄取为1.7%±0.4%,口服葡萄糖负荷后为1.6%±0.3%(p<0.05)。葡萄糖负荷后123I-BMIPP从心肌中的清除比空腹状态更快(27%±8%对11%±6%,p<0.01)。葡萄糖负荷后,缺血心肌(定义为狭窄冠状动脉供血面积超过90%的区域)中123I-BMIPP的清除比非缺血心肌更快(33%±8%对25%±9%,p<0.05)。缺血心肌的TDS从空腹状态下的1.8±0.4增加到葡萄糖负荷后的2.1±0.4(p<0.01)。检测冠状动脉狭窄超过90%的敏感性从空腹状态下的55%(11/20)增加到葡萄糖负荷后的75%(15/20),而特异性未降低(78%,7/9)。
口服葡萄糖负荷增强了对因冠状动脉狭窄导致脂肪酸代谢受损区域的检测。口服葡萄糖负荷下的碘-123-BMIPP成像可能是冠状动脉疾病无创诊断的一种新方法。
