Topic: Brain proteins, microglia and lab models

A strong correlation was found across different kinetic models ( R 2 > 0.97) and between DVR(2TC) and SUVR between 30 and 90 min, with an R 2 of more than 0.95. Secular equilibrium was reached at around 40 min after injection in most regions and subjects. TRV and effect size for SUVR across different regions were similar at 30-60 min (TRV, 3.8%; Cohen's d, 3.80), 45-75 min (TRV, 4.3%; Cohen's d, 3.77) and 60-90 min (TRV, 4.9%; Cohen's d, 3.73) and increased at later time points. Elimination was via the hepatobiliary and urinary systems. The whole-body effective dose was 33.3 ± 2.1 μSv/MBq for an adult female and 33.1 ± 1.4 μSv/MBq for an adult male, with a 1.5-h urinary bladder voiding interval. 18 F-PI-2620 exhibits fast kinetics, suitable dosimetry, and low TRV. DVR measured using the 2TC model with arterial sampling correlated strongly with DVR measured by NI-LGA, MRTM2, and SUVR. SUVR can be used for 18 F-PI-2620 PET quantification of tau deposits, avoiding arterial blood sampling. Static 18 F-PI-2620 PET scans between 45 and 75 min after injection provide excellent quantification accuracy, a large effect size, and low TRV.

Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 24 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 41 out of 100.
