Radiation synovetomy with various radiopharmaceuticals has been used to alleviate pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis and related joint diseases for more than 40 years. It is an attractive alternative to the surgical synovectomy for the management of the various joint diseases. Recently, the development of new radiopharmaceuticals labeled with $^{90}Y,\;^{32}P,\;^{186}Re,\;^{188}Re,\;^{153}Sm,\;^{165}Dy$ and $^{166}Ho$, for the effective management of synovial inflammation and related arthritic problems are gaining attention. In this article the general concepts and the clinical application of radiation synovectomy are reviewed.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is o chronic inflammatory disease of joints with proliferation of synovial epithelial tissue. Therapeutic approach of the RA consists of pharmacological and surgical interventions. Synovectomy is indicated in patients with progressive inflammatory signs and symptoms intractable to medical treatment including local intracavitary steroid injection. Recently, local injection of radionuclides which emit high energy beta rays are labeled with chemical compounds such as $^{90}Y,\;^{165}Dy-ferric$ hydroxide macroaggregate and have been introduced as an alternative therapeutic modality to surgical synovectomy. Holmium-166 is one of beta emitter and Ho-166-chitosan complex was developed for radiation synovectomy. Preclinical trial is on-going at our hospital using Ho-166-chitosan. The procedure and methods of preclinical trial are discussed.

Radiation synovectomy is an useful alternative treatment to rheumatoid arthritis and Re$\^$188/ is suggested as an ideal radiopharmaceutical agents because beta ray (2.1 MeV) emitted from Re$\^$188/ is appropriate for synovial cell ablation and gamma ray (155 KeV) is ideal for dosimetry. Its' ideal particle size (2-5 mm) was achieved by conjugation with tin-colloid, In this study, we investigated the toxicity, stability and biodistribution to evaluate the suitability of DA-7911 as a synovectomy agent.

Radiation synovectomy has been proposed as a promising palliative therapy for recurrent joint effusions for the last two or three decades. Ionizing radiations emitted by intrarticularly administered radiolabelled colloids. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of radiation synovectomy (RSV) using $^{188}Re$-tin colloid in the treatment of recurrent joint effusions and chronic synovitis of knee joints. Three phase bone scan was acquired for the concerned joint prior to radiosynovectomy. $^{188}Re$-tin colloid was prepared as per the reported protocol. 9 patients, diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and suffering from chronic resistant synovitis of the knee, ankle or elbow joints were administered the radiopharmaceuticals, checked for radiochemical purity >95% by intraarticular route. A whole body scan was acquired 2 h post-radiosynovectomy. In all the 9 treatments, no leakage to non-target organs was visible in the whole body scan. Static scans of the joint revealed complete retention of $^{188}Re$-tin colloid in the joints post administration of the agent. Clinically all patients exhibited a complete or partial response. RSV with $^{188}Re$-tin colloid was safe and effective in patients with chronic synovitis of rheumatoid origin.

목적: 미만형 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염은 관절에 영향을 미치는 원인이 밝혀지지 않은 활액막의 증식성 질환으로 조직학적으로는 양성 염증성 소견을 보이지만 골 파괴나 공격적인 성장, 재발 등의 특성으로 저 등급의 악성 종양으로 간주되기도 하는 질환이다. 활액막 절제술이 가장 표준적인 치료이지만 미만형의 경우 주변조직으로 침윤하며 성장하는 경향 때문에 수술 후 재발률이 상대적으로 높다. 불완전 절제가 시행된 경우, 재발한 경우 저선량의 외부방사선 치료나 방사선 동위원소를 이용한 관절강 내 방사선치료를 시행하여 국소 조절율이나 관절 기능의 향상을 얻을 수 있다고 보고되고 있다. 저자는 우측 무릎 관절에 발생한 미만형 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염으로 관절경을 이용한 활액막 절제술 후 외부 방사선치료를 시행한 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 이를 보고하고자 한다.

Radiation synovectomy is one of the most useful methods for treating patients with refractory synovitis because of its convenience, long-term effects, repeatability and the avoidance of surgery. In this study, we investigated the toxicity, stability and biodistribution of a rhenium-188 ($^{188}$Re)-tin colloid to evaluate its suitability as a synovectomy agent. Twenty four hours after injecting the $^{188}$Re-tin colloids (74 KBq/0.1 mL) into the tail vein of ICR mice, most of the $^{188}$Retin colloidal particles was found in the lungs. In addition, there were no particle size changes at either room temperature or at $37^{\circ}C$ after injecting the $^{188}$Re-tin colloids in human plasma and synovial fluid. In vitro stability tests showed that the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid remained in a colloidal form without a critical size variation over a 2-day period. We investigated the leakage of $^{188}$Retin colloids from the intraarticular injection site with gamma counting in New Zealand white rabbits. The $^{188}$Re-tin colloids (55.5 MBq/0.15 mL) were injected at the cavum articular and the mean retention percentage of the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid was 98.7% for 1 day at the injection site, which suggests that there was neither change in the particle size nor leakage at the injection sites. In the biodistribution study with the SD rats, the liver showed the highest radioactivity (0.0427% ID/organ) except for the injected knees (99.49%). In the SD rats, mild toxicities including the skin or a synovium inflammation were observed as a result of a radioactivity of 15 mCi/kg at the intraarticular injection site. However, there was no systemic toxicity. In the Ovalbumin (OVA)-induced arthritic rabbits, the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid improved the macroscopic, the histological score and reduced the knee joint diameter when compared to the arthritic control. In conclusion, a $^{188}$Re-tin-colloid is considered as a strong candidate for radiation synovectomy with a superior efficacy and safety.

색소 융모 결절성 활액막염(pigmented villonodular synovitis, PVNS)은 병인이 밝혀지지 않은 증식성 질환으로, 병변의 범위에 따라 국소형과 미만형으로 분류되며, 조직학적으로 양성이지만 파괴적인 성향을 보이므로 연골의 파괴나 주위 조직으로 광범위한 침윤이 가능한 질환이다. 활액막 절제술이 일차적인 치료방법이지만 미만형인 경우에는 주위 조직을 침윤하는 성향 때문에 재발률이 높다. 재발이 반복된 후에는 수술적 절제가 어려워져서 병변부위의 절단이 필요하게 되므로, 광범위한 병변인 경우, 수술이 용이하지 않은 경우, 또는 불완전 절제가 시행된 경우 등에서 방사선치료를 시행하여 재발을 방지할 수 있다고 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 무릎관절의 미만형 색소 융모 결절성 활액막염으로 관절경을 이용한 육안적 활액막 전 절제술 후 방사선치료를 시행한 2예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
