Many patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) have persistently elevated calcitonin levels after initial treatment, indicating disease recurrence. Conventional imaging is often negative or shows equivocal findings. In this study we report our experience with 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([(18)F]FDG-PET/CT) in the evaluation of this specific group.

    We have identified and functionally characterized the RDF involved in site-specific excision of the prophage genome. The mv4 RDF, (mv4)Xis, is encoded by the second gene of the early lytic operon. It is a basic protein of 56 amino acids. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated that (mv4)X...
