Effect of Atropine and Sincalide on the Intestinal Uptake of F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1999Variable diffuse intestinal uptake of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is commonly seen in patients undergoing positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Diffuse high uptake can obscure a lesion, whereas occasional high focal uptake can mimic a lesion. The cause of intestinal FDG uptake and the parameters that influence the level of uptake are unknown.We

The effects of intramuscular and intravenous sincalide on gallbladder contraction and visualization of the bile ducts were compared in a group of 37 subjects referred for oral cholecystography. The maximum reduction in gallbladder size observed after sincalide 400 ng/kg intramuscular, 54.7 +/- 7.2% (mean +/- SEM), occurred 25 min after injection and ...

Artificial Intelligence in Sincalide-Stimulated Cholescintigraphy: A Pilot Study
Clinical Nuclear MedicinePurpose: Sincalide-stimulated cholescintigraphy (SSC) calculates the gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) to diagnose functional gallbladder disorder. Currently, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven workflows that integrate real-time image processing and organ function calculation remain unexplored in nuclear medicine practice ...

Thirty-six patients with biliary colic and normal oral cholecystograms, upper gastrointestinal tract roentgenograms, and results of gallbladder ultrasonography underwent sincalide-stimulated biliary excretion scanning. Nineteen of these patients subsequently underwent cholecystectomies.

Objective To determine if use of the oral cholecystagogue, Ensure Plus (EP), in hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) leads to a similar distribution of normal and abnormal gallbladder ejection fractions (GBEFs) versus other historical secondary findings of chronic biliary disease in a similar patient population compared with the ...

Although several approaches to overcome difficult bile duct cannulation and gain free biliary access have been popularized, the use of gastrointestinal peptide hormonal agents such as sincalide, a cholecystokinin agonist, as an alternative method has not been evaluated.

Sincalide cholescintigraphy was first reported to have clinical utility in 1980. Since then, many publications have found that a reduced gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) can confirm the clinical diagnosis of acalculous chronic gallbladder disease and predict symptomatic relief with cholecystectomy.

Devazepide reversed effect of sincalide against morphine on rat jejunal activities.
Zhongguo yao li xue bao = Acta pharmacologica Sinica, 2000To study the antagonism of sincalide to the effect of morphine and its mechanism.The electrophysiologic and mechanic activities of rat jejunum in vitro were recorded.Acetylcholine (ACh, 150 nmol.L-1) increased the spike potential amplitude (SPA) and the number (SPN) of rat jejunum in vitro, followed by an increase of jejunal contraction amplitudes (CA),

Background:Patients referred to general surgeons for the treatment of gall‐bladder stones were studied to evaluate the role of sincalide cholescintigraphy as a gall‐bladder stress test in an effort to identify a group of patients whose pain was non‐biliary in origin and who would not be improved by cholecystectomy.Methods:Ten asymptomatic controls and ...

Sincalide, the C-terminal octapeptide fragment of the cholecystokinin, was used to contract the gallbladder during routine oral cholecystography in 18 patients. In 14 patients clinically important contraction occurred. The average reduction in gallbladder size for these patients was 32.7% of the preinjection size (range 15.1%-67.9%).
