Does longer Tc-99m-mebrofenin labeling-to-administration time result in scintigraphic underestimation of liver function?
There is a significant underestimation of MSLC with increasing LTA time. If liver function assessment is the purpose of a hepatobiliary study, Tc-99m-mebrofenin should be administered as close to the time of radiopharmaceutical preparation as possible, preferably within 1 hour.
Cordyceps militaris extract induced IL-18 mRNA level via enhancing of P1 promoter region result in activation of IFN-gamma production, indicating its potential as an immune activator or anticancer drug.
