Abstract:
:We report the use of broth simulation as a means of validating the practice of sub-dispensing from stock vials of long-lived sterile radiopharmaceuticals. 'Matched' vials of nutrient broth accompanied the stock vials of long-lived sterile radiopharmaceuticals during their time in use and were subject to the same handling and storage procedures. At the end of the life of each radiopharmaceutical stock vial, the matching broth residue was sent for incubation and reporting. The results to date have yielded no reports of microbial contamination in any of the simulated broths (0 in 256).

杂志文章abstract:OBJECTIVE:The liver is the most frequent metastatic site from colorectal cancer and about 20% of these patients are treated by surgical resection. However, the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) following resection is only about 25% and 5-year overall survival (OS) about 38%. The aim of the study was to evaluate the ab...
