Abstract
BACKGROUND Zinc (Zn) deficiency in crops is commonly aggravated by high levels of phosphorus (P) in soil. In this work, the initial performance of pot-growing maize in response to the available P and Zn in soils with low available Zn and to the application of P and Zn fertilizers was investigated. RESULTS The soils (six non-calcareous and 14 calcareous) ranged widely in available P (Olsen P: 5.5-37.9 mg kg-1 ), were poor in available Zn [diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-extractable Zn (ZnDTPA ): 0.20-0.84 mg kg-1 ] and had an Olsen P/ZnDTPA ratio of 13 to 111 mg mg-1 . Soil P application generally increased aerial dry matter (ADM) yield; Zn increased ADM yield mostly when applied in combination with P; and the sole application of Zn increased yield only in a soil with a high (28 mg kg-1 ) Olsen P and a low (0.36 mg kg-1 ) ZnDTPA . The increase in ADM yield resulting from optimal application of P and/or Zn to the soil was modest in soils where the Olsen P/ZnDTPA ratio was 30-60 and Olsen P was >14 mg kg-1 . Zinc uptake by the control plants was correlated with the ZnDTPA of the soil. For a certain ZnDTPA value, the level of plant available Zn was higher in non-calcareous than in calcareous soils. CONCLUSION Soil application of fertilizer P and Zn, in soils with low levels of available Zn, should not only aim at increasing the available P and Zn levels but also balancing them at the appropriate Olsen P/ZnDTPA ratio, which was found to lie in the 30-60 range in the present study. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The electrochemical incineration of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) with boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode had been initially performed under galvanostatic conditions. The main and interaction effects of four operating parameters (flow rate, applied current density, sulfate concentration and initial DTPA concentration) on mineralization performance were investigated. Under similar experimental conditions, Doehlert matrix (DM) and central composite rotatable design (CCRD) were used as statistical multivariate methods in the optimization of the anodic oxidation processes. A comparison between DM model and CCRD model revealed that the former was more accurate, possibly due to its higher operating level numbers employed (7 levels for two variables). Despite this, these two models resulted in quite similar optimum operating conditions. The maximum TOC removal percentages at 180 min were 76.2% and 73.8% for case of DM and CCRD, respectively. In addition, with the aid of quantum chemistry calculation and LC/MS analysis, a plausible degradation sequence of DTPA on BDD anode was also proposed.

Abstract
Immunoassays for quantitative measurement of environmental heavy metals offer several advantages over other traditional methods. To develop an immunoassay for lead, Balb/c mice were immunized with a lead-chelate-protein conjugate to allow maximum exposure of the metal to the immune system. Three stable hybridoma cell lines were obtained through spleen cells fusion with Sp2/0 cells. One cell line, 2A11D11, produced mAbs with preferential selectivity and sensitivity for Pb-DTPA than DTPA, exhibiting an affinity constant of 3.34 + or - 0.24 x 10(9) M(-1). Cross reactivity (CR) with other metals were below 1%, except for Fe(III) with a CR less than 5%. This quantitative indirect ELISA for the lead ion was used to detect environmental lead content in local water sources; importantly, the results from the immunoassay were in excellent agreement with those from ICP-MS. Development of immunoassays for metal ions may thus facilitate the detection and regulation of environmental pollution.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of earthworm activity on the bioavailability of Cu in soil. The bioavailable fraction was estimated using sequential extraction, and the results of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) extraction were analyzed for comparison. Changes in the Cu fraction were compared in Cu-spiked soil (high bioavailability) and long-term polluted field soil (low bioavailability) with approximately equivalent total Cu concentrations. Earthworm activity decreased the bioavailable fraction in the Cu-spiked soil, where earthworm body Cu concentrations did not affect the bioavailable fraction. Soil pH was not a factor in the bioavailability differences between soils with and without earthworms in this study. The bioavailable fraction appears to be more heavily affected by biological and physical mechanisms than by soil pH. The two extraction methods showed different trends; the bioavailable fraction method was better than DTPA extraction, because the former gives clear insight into the aging process of Cu in soil.

Abstract
The speciation of Zn-aminopolycarboxylic complexes was investigated using both electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and ion chromatography (IC) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The resulting ESI mass spectra indicated that [Zn(HEDTA)](1-), [Zn(NTA)](1-), [Zn(EDTA)](2-) and [Zn(DTPA)](3-) were all simultaneously detected in solution; [Zn(NTA)](1-) exhibited the weakest intensity of all these Zn-aminopolycarboxylic complexes. IC/ICP-MS was also successfully used to separate Zn complexes by anion-exchange chromatography using a mobile phase containing 30 mM (NH(4))(2)HPO(4) at pH 7.5 giving reasonable resolution within 15 min. A weak peak attributable to the poor stability [Zn(NTA)](1-) ion was also observed using IC/ICP-MS. With the exception of [Zn(NTA)](1-), detection limits ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 microg/L were obtained and the proposed method was used for the determination of Zn aminopolycarboxylic complexes in soil solution.

Abstract
Patients with carcinoid tumours frequently present with metastatic disease. There are only a few therapeutic options for these patients, and the main goal of palliative treatment is to reduce symptoms and thus to improve quality of life. Current therapy includes surgical resection, hepatic artery embolisation, chemotherapy and somatostatin analogue treatment; however, all these options have limitations. It seems probable that therapeutic modalities based on radiopharmaceuticals may provide better therapy, not only in relation to symptom reduction but may also improve patient survival. In this case report we present a 46-year-old woman with a symptomatic carcinoid, who at the time of diagnosis had liver and abdominal lymph node metastases, the primary tumour being located in the terminal ileum. (111)In-pentetreotide scanning was negative, whereas (123)I-MIBG scanning showed high avidity in the tumour tissue. After right hemicolectomy, two courses of (131)I-MIBG treatment were given (12.95 GBq and 12 GBq, respectively). After the second dose of (131)I-MIBG temporary pancytopenia was present. Octreotide therapy was given empirically only for a short time and was stopped because of drug intolerance. The patient underwent tricuspid and pulmonary valve replacement because of her carcinoid heart disease, followed by two courses of embolisation of liver metastases. While (131)I-MIBG therapy reduced the patient's symptoms of flushing and diarrhoea, there has not yet been any effect on tumour response or 5-HIAA production. This case illustrates the multimodality and multidisciplinary approach to such patients.

Abstract
The present study has been undertaken to know the effect of concentrations of lead (Pb) and different organic materials on the maize yield, concentrations of lead on maize plants and diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) extractable lead (Pb) on the post harvested soils. The results revealed that growth of maize increased by adding lead (Pb) upto 25 mg kg(-1) soil and thereafter the growth decreased. Application of organic matter increased the growth of maize in Pb-contaminated soil. With the increase in Pb concentration in soil, the concentration of Pb in plants also increased, however, application of organic material decreased Pb concentration in maize. The concentration of DTPA extractable lead (Pb) in post harvested soil samples significantly and consistently increased with increase in Pb. The addition of organic manure decreased the DTPA extractable Pb in soil which might be due to complexation/chelation of Pb with organic matter.

Abstract
A simple, selective and sensitive method for the determination of aminopolycarboxylic acids [diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), S,S-ethylenediamine N,N'-disuccinic acid (EDDS), ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) and nitrilotriacetate (NTA)] has been developed using high-performance liquid chromatography with chemiluminescence detection. The aminopolycarboxylic acids were separated on a C18 reversed-phase column with an aqueous sulfuric acid mobile phase at a pH lower than 1.5. The eluate was mixed with tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(III), which was on-line generated by photooxidation of the ruthenium(II) complex in the presence of peroxydisulfate, and the generated chemiluminescence was detected. Calibration graphs, based on standard solutions, were linear over the range 8x10(-9) to 4x10(-5) M. The detection limits at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 ranged from 9x10(-10) to 8x10(-8) M. The relative standard deviations of intra- and inter-day precision were below 1.3% and 2.1%, respectively. This HPLC system was successfully applied to the determination of aminopolycarboxylic acids in three different types of water samples. The low pH of the mobile phase limits interference from metal ions in natural waters. When such interference occurs, a cation-exchange column can be used to suppress it. The lowest amounts measurable were: 75 pg for NTA, 0.7 ng for EDDS, 0.8 ng for DTPA and 12ng for EDTA. The method was also applied for the EDTA assay in canned foods.

Abstract
A new method is presented for the quantitative determination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) from aqueous samples without an enrichment step. It consist of the formation of the Fe(III) complexes of EDTA and DTPA, liquid-chromatography with a volatile ion-pairing agent and determination by electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Limits of quantification (LOQ) of 1.0 and 0.6 microgL(-1) for EDTA and DTPA were obtained, allowing the direct injection of most aqueous environmental samples without any preceding enrichment. With a more recent mass spectrometer, the LOQ could be further decreased by almost one order of magnitude. Parallel analysis of real samples by a standardized method employing enrichment, derivatization and GC-MS analysis yielded comparable results. The method was applied to the determination of both complexing agents in several wastewater, surface water and drinking water samples, showing that EDTA is an omnipresent contaminant in partially closed water cycles.

Abstract
According to the Euratom Directives (96/29, 97/43), the doses received by the workers as well as the family of patients and third persons during medical exposures, should conform to the dose constraint levels (DCLs), established by the authorities for each group in the context of optimisation. This study deals with the implementation of a radiation protection protocol, concerning the aforementioned group members for patients undergoing treatment with 111In-DTPA-D-Phe1-Octreotide, after intra-arterial infusion. It is shown that by applying this protocol the annual doses to the medical and technical staff are considerably reduced and remain below the established DCLs. Following the post-release behaviour instructions given to the patient, doses to the family and third persons may be kept lower than the corresponding DCLs provided by the National Regulations.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (time of flight) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of synthetic Fe(III)-chelates used as fertilizers. Analytes included the seven major Fe(III)-chelates used in agriculture, Fe(III)-EDTA, Fe(III)-DTPA, Fe(III)-HEDTA, Fe(III)-CDTA, Fe(III)-o,oEDDHA, Fe(III)-o,pEDDHA, and Fe(III)-EDDHMA, and the method was validated using isotope labeled (57)Fe(III)-chelates as internal standards. Calibration curves had R values in the range 0.9962-0.9997. Limits of detection and quantification were in the ranges 3-164 and 14-945 pmol, respectively. Analyte concentrations could be determined between the limits of quantification and 25 muM (racemic and meso Fe(III)-o,oEDDHA and Fe(III)-EDDHMA) or 50 muM (Fe(III)-EDTA, Fe(III)-HEDTA, Fe(III)-DTPA, Fe(III)-CDTA and Fe(III)-o,pEDDHA). The average intraday repeatability values were approximately 0.5 and 5% for retention time and peak area, respectively, whereas the interday repeatability values were approximately 0.7 and 8% for retention time and peak area, respectively. The method was validated using four different agricultural matrices, including nutrient solution, irrigation water, soil solution, and plant xylem exudates, spiked with Fe(III)-chelate standards and their stable isotope-labeled corresponding chelates. Analyte recoveries found were in the ranges 92-101% (nutrient solution), 89-102% (irrigation water), 82-100% (soil solution), and 70-111% (plant xylem exudates). Recoveries depended on the analyte, with Fe(III)-EDTA and Fe(III)-DTPA showing the lowest recoveries (average values of 87 and 88%, respectively, for all agricultural matrices used), whereas for other analytes recoveries were between 91 and 101%. The method was also used to determine the real concentrations of Fe(III)-chelates in commercial fertilizers. Furthermore, the method is also capable of resolving two more synthetic Fe(III)-chelates, Fe(III)-EDDHSA and Fe(III)-EDDCHA, whose exact quantification is not currently possible because of lack of commercial standards.

Abstract
Coupling of ion chromatography with electrospray mass spectrometry (IC-MS) is a simple, sensitive and quick method for the determination of polar organic traces in water samples without derivatization. Analysis of the chelating agents ethylenediamino tetraacetate (EDTA) and diethylenetriamino pentaacetate (DTPA) in aqueous samples was done by IC-MS on an anion exchange column after simple sample preparation steps. Quantification down to a concentration level of 1 microg L(-1) even in wastewater influents and effluents was achieved utilizing 13C marked internal standards and measuring the individual [M - H+]- and stable [M - 4H+ + Fe3+]- cluster ions. The method was validated against certified, but more time consuming routine methods. Applying this method a series of several European water samples were analyzed for EDTA and DTPA indicating their nature as polar persistent pollutants.

Abstract
Metal ion complexes provide flexible paramagnetic centers that may be used to define intermolecular contacts in a variety of solution phase environments because both the charge and electronic relaxation properties of the complex may be varied. For most complex ions, there are several proton equilibria that may change the effective charge on the complex as a function of pH which in turn affects the efficacy of application for defining the electrostatic surfaces of co-solute molecules. We report here spectrophotometric and nuclear spin relaxation studies on aqueous solutions of chromium(III) complexes of EDTA, DTPA, and bis-amides of both. The effective charges available from these paramagnetic centers range from -3 to +1 and we report the pH ranges over which the effective charge is defined with confidence for application in magnetic relaxation experiments.

Abstract
In this study, UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used for simultaneous analysis of chelating agents diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), and nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), as their metal chelates in dishwashing detergents, natural waters, and pulp mill water. The total amounts of the chelating agents in dishwashing detergents were verified by potentiometric titration with Fe(III) solution. Nickel(II) chelates were determined by UV-Vis and iron(III)chelates by HPLC and titration. Recoveries of DTPA, EDTA, and NTA from a standard mixture of analytes by UV-Vis were 107+/-7, 101+/-12 and 94+/-13%, respectively, and the recovery of the total amount of complexing agents was 99+/-4%. The limits of detection for DTPA, EDTA, and NTA were 667, 324, and 739 micromol L(-1), respectively. In HPLC measurements the optimized mobile phase contained 0.03 mol L(-1) sodium acetate, 0.002 mol L(-1) tetrabutylammonium bromide, and 5% methanol at pH 3.15 and the detection was by UV-Vis detection at 254 nm. All three complexing agents could be separated from each other in a simultaneous analysis in less than 5 min. The limits of detection were 0.34, 0.27, and 0.62 micromol L(-1) for DTPA, EDTA, and NTA, respectively. The total amounts of the analytes measured in the dishwashing detergents by the three techniques were found to be highly comparable (ANOVA: F=0.04, P=0.96). R(2) values were 0.99 for EDTA, 0.99 for NTA, and 0.99 for all the results when UV-Vis and HPLC determinations were compared using regression lines. The UV-Vis and HPLC methods were proved to be viable also for analyses of natural and pulp mill waters. The absence of matrix interferences was verified by the standard addition technique.

Abstract
Potential contamination at ex-industrial sites means that, prior to change of use, it will be necessary to quantify the extent of risks to potential receptors. To assess ecological hazards, it is often suggested to use biological assessment to augment chemical analyses. Here we investigate the potential of a commonly recommended bioassay, the earthworm reproduction test, to assess the status of urban contaminated soils. Sample points at all study sites had contaminant concentrations above the Dutch soil criteria Target Values. In some cases, the relevant Intervention Values were exceeded. Earthworm survival at most points was high, but reproduction differed significantly in soil from separate patches on the same site. When the interrelationships between soil parameters and reproduction were studied, it was not possible to create a good model of site soil toxicity based on single or even multiple chemical measurements of the soils. We thus conclude that chemical analysis alone is not sufficient to characterize soil quality and confirms the value of biological assays for risk assessment of potentially contaminated soils.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using somatostatin analogs labeled with beta-emitters, the radiosensitive kidney is the dose-limiting organ, because of high uptake and retention of the radionuclides after glomerular filtration. Dosimetry calculations are mostly based on the MIRD scheme, assuming homogeneous renal radioactivity distribution. The aim of this study was to reveal the radioactivity distribution in the normal human kidney after intravenous injection of [(111)In-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)]octreotide. METHODS Three patients received intravenous injection of [(111)In-DTPA]octreotide before nephrectomy because of renal cancer. Distribution of radioactivity in the human kidney was investigated using SPECT scanning before and ex vivo autoradiography of the kidney after surgery. RESULTS Radioactivity was localized predominantly in the cortex of the kidney. In the cortex, radioactivity was not distributed homogeneously but formed a striped pattern, with most of the radioactivity centered in the inner cortical zone. CONCLUSION These findings show that average dose calculations using the MIRD scheme, assuming homogeneous renal radioactivity distribution, are inadequate to estimate the radiation dose to various parts of the kidney after PRRT. Different effects due to inhomogeneity can be expected from PRRT using radionuclides emitting particles with short particle ranges, for example, Auger electron emitters, alpha-emitters, and low-energy beta-emitters.

Abstract
The movement and availability of Zn from six organic Zn sources in a Typic Xerorthent (calcareous) soil were compared by incubation, column assay, and in a greenhouse study with maize (Zea mays L.). Zinc soil behavior was studied by sequential, diethylenetriaminepentaacetate, and Mehlich-3 extractions. In the incubation experiment, the differences in Zn concentration observed in the water soluble plus exchangeable fraction strongly correlated with Zn uptake by plants in the greenhouse experiment. Zinc applied to the surface of soil columns scarcely moved into deeper layers except for Zn-ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) that showed the greatest distribution of labile Zn throughout the soil and the highest proportion of leaching of the applied Zn. In the upper part of the column, changes in the chemical forms of all treatments occurred and an increase in organically complexed and amorphous Fe oxide-bound fractions was detected. However, the water soluble plus exchangeable fraction was not detected. The same results were obtained at the end of the greenhouse experiment. Significant increases were found in plant dry matter yield and Zn concentration as compared with the control treatment without Zn addition. Increasing Zn rate in the soil increased dry matter yield in all cases but Zn concentration in the plant increased only with Zn-EDTA and Zn-ethylenediaminedi-o-hydroxyphenyl-acetate (EDDHA) fertilizers. Higher Zn concentration in plants (50.9 mg kg(-)(1)) occurred when 20 mg Zn kg(-)(1) was added to the soil as Zn-EDTA. The relative effectiveness of the different Zn carriers in increasing Zn uptake was in the order: Zn-EDTA > Zn-EDDHA > Zn-heptagluconate >/= Zn-phenolate approximately Zn-polyflavonoid approximately Zn-lignosulfonate.

Abstract
Luminescent lanthanide complexes have unusual spectroscopic characteristics, including millisecond excited-state lifetime and sharply spiked emission spectra. These characteristics make them valuable alternatives to conventional organic fluorescent probes in detection applications and for measuring nanometer-scale conformational changes in biomolecules via resonance energy transfer. Our group has previously reported the syntheses and application of various luminescence complexes that have polyaminocarboxylate chelates coupled to a carbostyril antenna and thiol or amine-reactive groups. Here we report the syntheses of new thiol-reactive forms of DTPA-cs124 chelates, including two iodoacetamide forms (phenylalanine-iodoacetamide and ethylenediamine iodoacetamide) and two methane-thio-sulfonate forms (ethylmethanethiosulfonate and carboxyethylmethanethiosulfonate). In addition, we have developed an improved synthesis of a previously reported maleimide form.

Abstract
Rhenium-188 is reported to be one of the best radionuclides for intracoronary balloon brachytherapy. Among several preparations of (188)Re available for brachytherapy, (188)Re-diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) and (188)Re-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) are recommended owing to their rapid excretion via the renal system and the absence of accumulation in the thyroid. The aim of this study was to calculate the dose of radiation exposure in a real human accident. During a 4-year clinical trial of (188)Re-DTPA balloon brachytherapy in 242 patients, there was one accident involving balloon leakage. Dosimetry was performed by both image-based and biological analysis. The radiation exposure to the whole body was calculated as 113 mGy by image-based analysis and 83 or 88 mGy by biological analysis, which was approximately half the reported dose in the case of (188)Re-perrhenate. The radiation exposures to other vital organs were also within the tolerated ranges. We conclude that (188)Re-DTPA has better clinical feasibility and safety for intracoronary balloon brachytherapy than (188)Re-perrhenate.

Abstract
The level of conjugation of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) to the polysaccharide sodium hyaluronan (HA) has been measured by a colorimetric assay, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The colorimetric assay is based on the red shift, upon complexation with gadolinium ion (Gd3+), of the wavelength of maximum absorption of the dye arsenazo III. It can be performed in a few minutes using as little as 10 microg of polymer with a detection limit of approximately 0.03 mmol of DTPA (gram of polymer)-1. The ITC measurements yield values of the amount of DTPA linked to HA identical to those obtained by colorimetry. The levels of DTPA conjugation calculated by integration of signals at 3.1-3.2 ppm (DTPA protons) and at 2.0 ppm (HA acetamide protons) in the 1H NMR spectrum of HA-DTPA are consistently overestimated by a factor of approximately 2, compared to the data obtained by ITC and colorimetry. The longer relaxation times of protons of the polymer backbone, compared to those of protons attached to the freely moving DTPA side-chains may account for the discrepancy.

Abstract
The speciations of EDTA and DTPA in process, waste and river waters are modelled and simulated, specifically to the mode of occurrence in the pulp and paper mill effluents and subsequently in receiving waters. Due to relatively short residence times in bleaching process and waste water treatment and slow exchange kinetics, it is expected that the thermodynamic equilibrium is not necessarily reached. Therefore, the initial speciation plays a key role. As such, the simulations have been extended to the process waters of the pulp and paper industry taking into account estimated average conditions. The results reveal that the main species are; Mn and Ca complexes of EDTA and DTPA in pulp mill process waters; Fe(III) and Mn complexes of EDTA and DTPA in waste waters; Fe(III) and Zn complexes of EDTA and DTPA in receiving waters. It is also shown how the increasing concentration of complexing agents effects the speciation. Alkaline earth metal chelation plays a significant role in the speciation of EDTA and DTPA when there is a noticeable molar excess of complexing agents compared with transition metals.

Abstract
Since vascular architecture differs among tissues, it was hypothesized that the change in transverse relaxation rate produced by a given tissue concentration of susceptibility contrast agent also varies by tissue. This is relevant to strategies to map regional blood volume by MRI using indicator dilution techniques. R*(2) was measured in rat organs over a range of susceptibility agent concentrations at 1.5 T. Rat red blood cells loaded with dysprosium-DTPA-BMA served as an intravascular susceptibility agent. Tissue samples were frozen in vivo and dysprosium concentrations were independently measured using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The slope (k) of R*(2) vs. tissue dysprosium concentration in sec(-1) mM(-1) for myocardium was 97.1 (95% C.I. 77. 0-117.2), liver 122.6 (108.3-136.9), spleen 22.5 (8.8-36.3), kidney 68.1 (58.6-77.6), and skeletal muscle 77.9 (4.1-151.6); k was significantly different (P < 0.05) for all pairings except those with skeletal muscle. Therefore, relative values of tissue blood volume derived from dynamic images of first pass contrast effects may be in error because k is not constant for different conditions.

Abstract
Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) is a commonly used chelating agent. Its antiviral, antibacterial and immunomodulatory effects are well documented. DTPA forms a highly stable complex with lead (II) with an increased absorption coefficient and a bathochromic shift of the absorption maximum compared to pure DTPA. Based on this complex a high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantitative detection of DTPA in biological fluids was developed. A calibration curve was prepared and linearity was shown in the concentration range between 10 mg l(-1) and 1000 mg l(-1) DTPA. The recovery in water and in human plasma showed the method to be suitable for routine use.

Abstract
EDTA can be extremely persistent in WWTP and also in natural waters; DTPA seems more biodegradable. However, the biodegradability of DTPA might be of negligible significance as EDTA, and in some cases also DTPA, are generally found in the receiving waters of many industrial areas, thus being classified as one of the major organic pollutants discharged in waters. The photochemical degradation of Fe(III) complexes of these compounds is documented, but the extent to which these results can be applied to natural waters is not clear. There exist still some uncertainties in the chemical speciation, adsorption, overall degradation, and ultimately the eutrophication effect of EDTA and especially of DTPA. It can be inferred that EDTA can affect the essential and nonessential metal balance in natural waters as well as in aquatic organisms, even in the long term. The estimation of the chemical speciation of EDTA and DTPA in natural waters is a challenging task because of of the complexicity of the system and should be based not only on equilibrium calculations but also on direct analytical determinations of diverse metal species. Unfortunately, analytical methods for speciation studies at environmentally relevant concentrations are not available. Also, monitoring of EDTA or DTPA in sediments and solid particles has not been initiated. EDTA and DTPA are not expected to be acutely toxic to aquatic organisms. On the other hand, in natural waters, several compounds affect organisms simultaneously. Therefore, EDTA and DTPA can contribute to the aquatic toxicity at significantly lower concentration than those determined by short-term toxicity tests. Also, more studies should be directed to estimating chronic effects, including the possible imbalance of body calcium in animals and other organisms. EDTA and DTPA can certainly desorb heavy metals bound to sediments and also prevent heavy metal sedimentation, thus increasing their cycle in water. However, these metal complexes are not expected to be as bioavailable as a free metal ions. Taken together, EDTA and DTPA, being persistent compounds, contribute to the general chemicalization of the aquatic environment. They can also cause several indirect and, under extreme circumstances, direct effects in the aquatic environment. Thus, their release into natural waters should be minimized wherever possible.

Abstract
A noninvasive method using an inversion recovery turbo-FLASH for dynamic measurement of the arterial input function represented by the bolus passage of Gd-DTPA in the descending aorta is presented, and the results are compared with the input function obtained by arterial blood samples. A good accordance between the two input functions was found, indicating that it is possible to measure the input function to the myocardium using MRI. A variation between the two concentration curves of 5% at upslope, 2.7% at peak point, and < 7% at downslope was found. The study also indicates that a short inversion time < 250 ms has to be used to ensure correct measurement of peak concentration.

Abstract
A narrow-bore high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for simultaneous separation of gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (GdDTPA), the monomethylamide (GdDTPA-MMA) and the bis-methylamide (GdDTPA-BMA) in human serum and urine. The Gd complexes were detected at 658 nm after post-column derivatization with Arsenazo III. The serum samples were ultrafiltrated, whereas the urine samples were centrifuged and diluted before analysis. With an injection volume of 10 microliters on a 2.1 mm ID reversed-phase column, the limit of detection of GdDTPA-BMA was calculated as 0.3 microM and 1.1 microM in serum and urine, respectively. The method was validated with respect to GdDTPA-BMA with a limit of quantification set to 2 microM and 10 microM in serum and urine, respectively. The best fit of the calibration curve was obtained using non-linear regression according to the equation Y = A+BX+CX2 in the concentration ranges 2-800 microM and 10-2000 microM of GdDTPA-BMA in serum and urine, respectively. The precision of the method was found to range from 1 to 4% RSD. The recoveries of GdDTPA-BMA spiked in serum and urine were higher than 95% with an RSD equal to or less than 4%. The serum samples were stable for at least 5 months when stored at -70 degrees C, and the urine samples were stable for a least 6 months when stored at -20 degrees C.

Abstract
A simple electrophoretic IEF procedure was developed for the quantitation of bifunctional DTPA ligand molecules in DTPA-protein conjugates. From a calibration plot of pI versus substitution ratios of reference conjugates, the concentrations of DTPA conjugated to protein were determined. Molar ratios of DTPA to protein agreed satisfactorily with the ratios obtained by a spectrophotometric technique using a colored yttrium(III) complex of arsenazo III. The IEF method was successfully applied on preparations of benzyl-DTPA to mAbs MOPC-21, SC-20 (aCEA), and human serum albumin.

Abstract
The hepatic and renal retention of indium-111 (111In) from 111In-labeled polypeptides has been the subject of many investigations. Because the lysosome is a common intracellular destination for the degradation of polypeptides, we studied the lysosomal metabolism of 111In-DTPA-labeled glycoproteins targeted to cell surface receptors in vitro and in vivo. We found that 111In-DTPA-glycoproteins were degraded to 111In-DTPA-epsilon-lysine, which was slowly released from cells and recovered intact in urine and feces. These results suggest a mechanism for 111In retention at target and non-target sites.

Abstract
Non-protein-bound iron in human synovial fluid was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. The procedure was based on the separation of the iron-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) complex formed directly on a chromatographic column containing an anion-exchange resin followed by electrochemical detection. The method enabled more than 0.1 microM Fe(III) to be determined with an injection volume of 10 microliters. A mixture of synovial fluid, 20 microM DTPA and acetate buffer was incubated in the presence and absence of superoxide (O2-) generated by a xanthine-xanthine oxidase system and was ultrafiltered through a 30,000 molecular mass cut-off filter. No iron was detected in the ultrafiltrate at physiological pH. However, the presence of iron was observed in the ultrafiltrate at low pH, and O2- facilitated the release of iron into the synovial fluid. This result suggested that in an inflamed joint with generated O2- and decreased pH, iron may be released into the synovial fluid.

Abstract
This complex study was designed to measure the transport and excretion characteristics of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriaminepentacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) in dog's livers following bolus and infusion. Simultaneous T1 magnetic resonance imaging was performed to measure maximum signal enhancement. Anaesthetized dogs had cannulation of the common bile duct and urinary bladder for collections and cannulation of the femoral artery and vein for monitoring, blood sampling and infusion. Gd-EOB-DTPA was administered by bolus (range 12.5-200 mumol/kg) and infusion (range 0.4-6.4 mumol/min per kg). An hepatic transport maximum 0.09-0.15 mumol/min/kg was achieved with a blood concentration of 0.03-0.06 mumol/mL. Marked hepatic affinity for Gd-EOB-DTPA was demonstrated with measurements of liver concentration. Maximum T1 signal enhancement was achieved with blood Gd-EOB-DTPA concentration of 0.02-0.03 mumol/mL and a liver concentration of 1-2 mumol/g. The transport maximum for Gd-EOB-DTPA in the dog was similar to that for ipodate and iodipamide and effective imaging was achieved with sub-maximal doses. The maximum signal enhancement at blood concentrations less than required for maximum transport suggest a wide latitude for effective clinical imaging.

Abstract
62Cu(T1/2 = 9.8 min) is a generator-produced positron-emitting radionuclide with a half-life amenable to blood-pool imaging with PET. Three bifunctional chelates [cyclic anhydride of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (cDTPAA), 6-bromoacetamidobenzyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N ',N", N"'-tetraacetic acid (BAT), and p-carboxyethylphenylglyoxal-bis-(4N-methyl-thiosemicarbazone (CE-DTS)] were conjugated to HSA and labeled with 67Cu. The labeling efficiency of 67Cu-DTS-HSA was > 90%, whereas the labeling yields of 67Cu-DTPA-HSA and 67Cu-benzyl-TETA-HSA were less than 70%. Blood clearance and biodistribution of these three 67Cu-labeled conjugates were determined in rats. Of the three 67Cu-labeled bifunctional chelate-HSA conjugates, 67Cu-benzyl-TETA-HSA remained in the blood pool the longest, achieving stable blood levels at times longer than 24 h post-injection. The 67Cu radioactivity cleared the blood within 60 min post-injection of 67Cu-DTS-HSA, and within 10 min after administration of 67Cu-DTPA-HSA, indicating the dissociation of Cu2+ from these conjugates. Copper-labeled DTS-HSA achieved stable blood concentrations for at least 30 min post-injection and was therefore evaluated as a vascular imaging agent. DTS-HSA and benzyl-TETA-HSA were labeled with 62Cu and administered to a dog for blood-pool imaging using PET. Images were nearly identical to an image taken after administration of C15O. Because of the high labeling efficiency, DTS-HSA can be labeled with 62Cu without purification, making it more practical than 62Cu-benzyl-TETA-HSA as a blood-pool imaging agent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A simple spectrophotometric method was developed to quantitate micromolar concentrations of a bifunctional DTPA ligand in DTPA monoclonal antibody (mAb) conjugates. Titration of a brightly colored 1:2 yttrium (III) complex of arsenazo III with the ligand 1B4M-DTPA obeyed Beer's law over the concentration range 0-2.0 microM 1B4M-DTPA at 652 nm. From a calibration plot of absorbance versus 1B4M molarity, concentrations of 1B4M-DTPA conjugated to mAb were determined. Mole ratios of 1B4M-DTPA to mAb agreed satisfactorily with the ratios obtained by a radioanalytical technique using carbon-14-labeled 1B4M-DTPA and a binding assay using 111In. The spectrophotometric method was applied successfully to the preparation of 1B4M-DTPA mAb anti-TAC, a mAb conjugate used in clinical trials of 90Y radioimmunotherapy.

Abstract
To simplify the synthesis of macrocyclic chelators, commercially available macrocyclic amines were condensed with halogenated acetic acid to prepare the five chelators 12N4 (DOTA), 14N4 (TETA), 15N4, 9N3 and 12N3. Only 12N4 and 9N3 showed efficient labeling of the free chelator with 111In and 90Y. Serum stability studies at 37 degrees C with In-labeled DTPA, 12N4 and 9N3 showed no loss of label over 2 days whereas, with 90Y, only 12N4 showed stabilities comparable to DTPA. The 12N4 chelator was derivatized by attaching biotin on one N-acetate group to stimulate the attachment to protein. The serum stability for both 111In and 90Y was identical to that of biotin derivatized DTPA and lower than that of the free chelators. Biodistribution studies in normal mice of a model protein (avidin) labeled with 90Y via biotinylated 12N4 and biotinylated DTPA showed identical distribution at 1 day except in bone where the %ID/g for the macrocyclic-conjugated protein (3.4 +/- 0.5, N = 8) was significantly (P less than 0.001) lower than that of the DTPA-conjugated protein (9.4 +/- 0.9, N = 7). In conclusion, macrocycles may be readily synthesized from the macrocyclic amines and several show useful stabilities with In and Y. When N-linked to a protein, the Y biodistribution was found to be superior to that of the corresponding DTPA-coupled protein.

Abstract
Fluorescence titrations were performed by adding varying mole ratios of terbium(III) to antibody conjugates formed by benzyl isothiocyanate derivatives of three different polyaminopolycarboxylate chelators (NTA, EDTA, and DTPA) and the results compared to values for average chelator content obtained by cobalt-57 binding assays. For two different murine monoclonal antibodies, the average chelator content obtained by terbium fluorescence titration correlated closely with that measured by the cobalt-57 binding assay. It is concluded that lanthanide fluorescence titrations provide a useful alternative to radiometal binding assays for the determination of chelator content in protein-chelator conjugates.

Abstract
We prospectively assessed renal function in a group of 29 renal transplant patients receiving cyclosporine (CsA) in order to determine the course of their renal function over time and the relationship between different markers of glomerular function. We measured serum creatinine, DPTA, and creatinine clearances, and urinary albumin excretion. The clinical course of 24 patients (83%) permitted repeat studies over a period of 32 +/- 1 (SEM) months, and in these patients DTPA clearance, creatinine clearance, and the serum creatinine concentration did not vary with time. Five of the patients (17%) lost their grafts and returned to dialysis. On initial evaluation patients who lost their grafts had a lower DPTA clearance than those whose function was maintained (29 +/- 3 v 46 +/- 2 mL/min/1.73 m2 body surface area [BSA], respectively, P less than 0.005) and all of them had a DTPA clearance of less than 40 mL/min/1.73 m2 BSA. There was an inverse correlation between the log of the urinary albumin excretion and the DTPA clearance (n = 33, r = -0.59, P less than 0.001), a direct correlation with the serum creatinine concentration (N = 33, r = 0.89, P less than 0.0001), but no correlation with time after transplantation. Thus, despite the continued use of CsA, renal function over time was stable in patients who underwent repeated studies, as was the relationship between the DTPA clearance and the clinically used markers of transplant function, the serum creatinine concentration, and the creatinine clearance.

Abstract
For several years aerosolized 99Tcm-DTPA has been used for studies of pulmonary permeability. Comparable results have been obtained regardless of the 99Tcm-DTPA having been nebulized in an ultrasound nebulizer or a jet nebulizer. It was therefore surprising when in a recent study it was observed that more than 90% of a commercially available 99Tcm-DTPA (Squibb) was dissociated into 99TcmO4- and DTPA during ultrasound nebulization. To verify this observation we performed chromatography of seven commercially available DTPA-labelling kits (including that of Squibb). Four different test preparations of each of the kits were analysed: (1) stock solution of 99Tcm-DTPA; (2) heated (80 degrees C) 99Tcm-DTPA; (3) 99Tcm-DTPA nebulized by a DeVilbiss ultrasound nebulizer; (4) 99Tcm-DTPA nebulized by a Varic ultrasound nebulizer. In no case were we able to demonstrate more than 1.0% reduced pertechnetate (99TcmO2) or more than 0.9% free 99TcmO4- after either heating or ultrasound nebulization. A maximum of 5.6% 99TcmO2 could be demonstrated in the stock solution if chromatography was done immediately after the preparation, but only 15 min later no more than 0.9% 99TcmO2 was present. We conclude that there is no essential chemical breakdown of 99Tcm-DTPA during ultrasound nebulization. Caution should be taken not to use the 99Tcm-DTPA until 15 min after its preparation.

Abstract
N-(4-(n-butyl)-acetanilide)iminodiacetic acid (BIDA), N-(2,6-diisopropylacetanilide)iminodiacetic acid (DISIDA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and methylene diphosphonic acid (MDP) are used in labelling kits. The contents of BIDA, DISIDA or MDP of the 99mTc-labelled compounds can be determined (indirectly) spectrophotometrically with copper, eriochrome cyaanine R (ECC) and dodecylethyldimethylammonium bromide (DEDA) in a sodium barbital buffered system at pH 8.5. The calibration curves obey Beer's Law from 0 to 40 micrograms/25 mL for BIDA and DISIDA, 0 to 60 micrograms/25 mL for DTPA and 0 to 100 micrograms/10 mL for MDP.

Abstract
Aerosols of 99mTc diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid ([99mTc]DTPA) used for measuring lung permeability and lung ventilation require a radioaerosol delivery system to produce an aerosol with reproducible size and radiochemical purity. To test how well nebulizers meet this requirement, radiochemical purity of aerosols produced with a jet and an ultrasonic nebulizer was evaluated. The activity median aerodynamic diameter (AMAD) and geometric standard deviation (sigma g) of radioaerosols were 0.46 micron (sigma g = 1.6) for the jet nebulizer and 0.70 micron (sigma g = 1.7) for the ultrasonic nebulizer. Paper and liquid chromatographic assays were obtained on the [99mTc]DTPA aerosol solute produced with each nebulizer. The results of these tests showed major differences in radiochemical purity. Aerosols produced in the jet nebulizer consistently showed greater than 90% of the radioactivity bound to the DTPA ligand whereas aerosols produced in the ultrasonic nebulizer showed less than 10% of the radioactivity bound to DTPA. The results support the need to test radiochemical purity of aerosols before using an aerosol nebulizer for pulmonary imaging and clearance studies.

Abstract
The bicyclic anhydride of DTPA-1-14C (BADTPA-1-14C) was synthesized and reacted with an antibody to human melanoma associated antigen (MAA) and with one to human class II major histocompatibility complex antigen (HLA-DR). DTPA-1-C incorporation per mole of anti MAA at molar ratios of 1:1 to 200:1 ranged from 0.5 to 25, while immunoreactivity ranged from 49 to 9%. With antibody to HLA-DR, results were similar. Anti MAA, but not anti HLA-DR, demonstrated polymerization upon conjugation. BADTPA-1-14C provides a convenient and accurate method for measuring the amount of DTPA in monoclonal antibody preparations and its effect on immunoreactivity.

Abstract
Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) was conjugated with antibody to human serum albumin (Ab) at low concentration (300 micrograms/ml, 2.0 microM) via the DTPA carboxycarbonyl mixed-anhydride method. To study parameters determining the balance between the degree of conjugation and the antibody-binding activity of Ab, a known concentration of the anhydride prepared at isobutylchloroformate (IBC)-to-DTPA ratios of 1, 2.1, or 4.2 was reacted with Ab. The percentage yields of the anhydride were determined by spectrophotometric and gravimetric titration. By the former method the percentage yields, based on DTPA concentration, were 18, 24, and 220, respectively, when the IBC-to-DTPA ratios were 1, 2.1, and 4.2. The corresponding percentage yields were 17, 39, and 262 when determined by the latter method. When the anhydride was prepared at an IBC-to-DTPA ratio of 2.1, an optimum conjugation giving three indium atoms per Ab was obtained, with 64% retention of antibody-binding activity. For an IBC-to-DTPA ratio of 1, the antibody retained almost 100% binding activity but the number of indium atoms incorporated (0.2) was too small. For an IBC-to-DTPA ratio of 4.2, up to 22 indium atoms were incorporated but antibody-binding activity was completely destroyed.

Abstract
The reliability and reproducibility of five miniature chromatography systems for the radiochemical purity of 99mTc-labeled technetium Tc 99m pentetate was evaluated. Radiochemical purity of technetium Tc 99m pentetate was determined 15-30 minutes after preparation once a month for nine consecutive months. A reference value was determined by gel filtration or by conventional-length paper chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Radiochemical purity was determined simultaneously by five miniature chromatography systems. The miniature systems included an in-house system and commercial systems distributed by Ackerman Nuclear, Ashley Innovations, Atomic Products, and Technical Advancement. Each miniature system was tested in duplicate. A follow-up comparison of the Ackerman Nuclear and in-house systems was performed for an additional nine months. Labeling efficiency by the reference method was greater than 97% for all nine months. The miniature systems gave results that were comparable in most months. Very low labeling efficiency occurred with the Ackerman Nuclear system in month 9. The follow-up comparison produced only one unconfirmed result for the Ackerman Nuclear system that would have caused a laboratory to erroneously discard a batch of technetium Tc 99m pentetate. The miniature chromatography systems evaluated generally will give reliable and reproducible results for the radiochemical purity of technetium Tc 99m pentetate for nine months after receipt of the systems.

Abstract
A quantitative method for determination of low levels (0.05%, w/w) of nitrilotriacetic and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acids in diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid is described. Palmitic acid is added to the chelator as an internal standard before esterification with methanol containing 2%(v/v)H2SO4. The methyl esters of palmitic, nitrilotriacetic, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acids are first separated from diethylenetriaminepentaacetate by silicic acid column chromatography and are subsequently quantitated by gas-liquid chromatography. The method is both accurate and reproducible with less than 10% relative error. Thin-layer chromatographic separations of the methyl esters, and quantitation at the 1% level, are also described.
