Green marketing is a process of producing environment friendly product. Such type of products that are safe from different hazards. Now a days Green marketing is exploring day by day. The eco-friendly products are making by many companies in Globe. Our Purpose of this study is basically to identify that what kind of factors influence the green purchase intentions of consumer of Pakistan. Four preceding factors influence the consumer's purchase intentions based green marketing. By using self-administered questionnaires we collected data from our 160 respondents. For regression analysis we entered all that data into SPSS and do analysis also. Results of our study show significant relationship of green purchase attitude, ISSN 1948-5468 2014 www.macrothink.org/jsr 274 green perceived value, green trust and ecological knowledge on green purchase intention. These factors influence the green purchase intention. This study is a vital source for the national and international marketers to collect information how different factors effect consumer's purchase intention. Journal of Sociological Research
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a cell membrane glycoprotein that is selectively expressed in prostate cells, with expression levels increasing dramatically in prostatic adenocarcinoma. PSMA-based radioligand therapy (RLT) has emerged as a viable therapeutic modality for the treatment of progressive metastatic prostate cancer. One commonly employed combination involves lutetium-177 conjugated to the ligand PSMA-617 (177 Lu-PSMA-617). In this meta-analysis, we examine therapeutic responses in patients with metastatic disease who have received 177 Lu-PSMA-617 therapy. We conducted a literature search with the following inclusion criteria: clinical trials involving more than 10 patients and solely utilizing 177 Lu-PSMA-617. Seventeen studies were included in the final analysis. Variables documented included the number of patients, the total therapeutic dose administered, the percentage of any prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline, the percentage with PSA decline exceeding 50% baseline, and toxicities. Overall, a majority of patients responded to therapy, and in the prospective studies, survival was found to be upwards of one year. Significant toxicities included cytopenias, which were infrequent. Patients who had PSA declines in response to therapy had longer survival. Performance status and tumor grade were also key predictors of outcome.
BackgroundProstate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) imaging has been suggested as highly sensitive modality for detection of metastases in patients with biochemically recurrent or advanced prostate cancer (PCa). PSMA expression is associated with grade and stage and has a relationship with androgen receptor signaling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic utility of radiographic PSMA expression in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).MethodsPatients with mCRPC and available baseline PSMA imaging were studied. Images by planar/single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT were reviewed. Planar/SPECT images were scored semi-quantitatively and PET/CT scored quantitatively with comparison of tumor uptake to liver uptake on a scale of 0–4 in order to determine an imaging score (IS). The IS (high: 2–4 versus low: 0–1), subsequent receipt of life-prolonging systemic therapies (taxane chemotherapy, potent androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, sipuleucel-T, and radium-223), and the CALGB prognostic risk stratification of patients were analyzed according to overall survival (OS) in univariate and multivariate Cox’s proportional hazards models.ResultsHigh PSMA expression (IS 2–4) was found in 179 (75.21%) patients, and 59 (24.79%) patients had low PSMA uptake. The median OS of the entire cohort was 16.8 (95%CI: 14.9–19.3) months. Patients with a high IS had a significantly shorter OS of 15.8 (95%CI 13.0–18.1) months compared to those with low expression [22.7 (95%CI: 17.7–30.7) months, p = 0.002]. After accounting for use of life-prolonging therapies (p<0.001) and CALGB prognostic groups (p = 0.001), high PSMA IS emerged as an independent prognostic factor for OS [HR(95%CI): 1.7 (1.2–2.2); p = 0.003].ConclusionPresence of high radiographic PSMA expression on SPECT or PET/CT may portend a poor prognosis in patients with mCRPC treated with standard systemic therapies. This provides implications for therapeutic targeting of PSMA-avid disease as a means to improve outcomes.
Lessons Learned Hyperfractionation of lutetium‐177 (177Lu)‐J591 for patients with metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer did not appear to have any additional advantage over the single dose 177Lu‐J591 or fractionated two‐dose 177Lu‐J591 therapy. Definite conclusions were challenging because of the small sample size of this study, and so further studies are needed to evaluate the viability of the hypothesis. On the basis of available data, a registration study of 177Lu‐J591 (also known as TLX591) is planned and will use the two‐dose fractionation schedule (Telix Pharma Q3 2019 update https://telixpharma.com/news-media/). Background Phase I and II single‐dose studies of lutetium‐177 (177Lu)‐J591, a radio‐labeled antibody binding prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA), demonstrated safety and efficacy with dose response. Modest dose fractionation of 177Lu‐J591 (2 doses) has less myelosuppression per similar cumulative dose, allowing higher doses to be administered safely. We hypothesized that additional dose fractionation would allow a higher cumulative dose, potentially with less toxicity and more efficacy. Methods Men with progressive metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer and adequate organ function were enrolled. 177Lu‐J591 was administered at 25 mCi/m2 every 2 weeks until the emergence of related grade 2 toxicity. 177Lu‐J591 imaging was performed and circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts were measured before and after treatment along with standard monitoring. Results Six subjects in a single cohort, with a median age of 68.6 years, were enrolled. Patients received three to six doses (cumulative 75−150 mCi/m2). Two (33%) patients had >30% prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) decline and three (50%) had CTC count decline. Two (33%) experienced grade (Gr) 4 neutropenia (without fever), three (50%) had Gr 4 thrombocytopenia (without hemorrhage), and two (33%) required platelet transfusions. Following hematological improvement, two patients developed worsening cytopenia during prostate cancer progression; bone marrow biopsies revealed infiltrative tumor replacing normal marrow elements without myelodysplasia. Targeting of known disease sites was seen on planar imaging in all. Conclusion Hyperfractionation of 177Lu‐J591 is feasible but does not seem to have significant advantages over the two‐dose fractionation regimen.
