    Notes: Abstract Serial change of the metaiodobenzylguanidine iodine-123 (123I-MIBG) myocardial concentration was investigated in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Eight DCM patients and 6 control subjects were examined. After the injection of thallium-201 and 123I-MIBG, planar chest images were obtained simultaneously for both tracers in every 30–60 min over 5 h. Serial changes of myocardial uptake ratio (MUR) were compared for both tracers. In DCM, the initial MUR of 123I-MIBG did not differ significantly from that of the controls. The washout of 123I-MIBG from the myocardium, however, was significantly increased in DCM. In particular, the decrease in the early phase (15–45 min) was significantly larger in DCM than in the controls (21.2%±7.5% vs. 5.3%±4.0%, P 〈0.01), showing a significant negative correlation with the left ventricular ejection fraction (r = −0.72 P 〈 0.05). For 201TI, neither the initial MUR nor the washout rate different significantly between the two. Thus, an early rapid decrease of the 123I-MIBG myocardial concentration might characterize DCM and reflect the severity of this disease.

    Notes: Abstract The L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope has been shown to carry an unusual 3′-sulfoglucuronic acid linkedO-glycosidically through a neolactosyl-type back bone to a ceramide residue. Using monoclonal antibodies, the same or a closely related epitope has also been detectedN-glycosidically linked to glycoproteins, amongst them several neural cell adhesion molecules. We used synthetic glycolipids carrying sulfated or non-sulfated glucuronic acid attached to ceramide through glycans of different length to show that not only the sulfated glucuronic acid but also the neolactosyl-type backbone is essential for the recognition of the L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate by a monoclonal antibody, its binding to laminin and its role in neural cell migration and outgrowth of processes from neurons and astrocytes.
