Assessment of the intravenous administration of 99mTc-UCMSC-EVs and comparison with 99mTc-NaTcO4. (a) In vivo SPECT/CT fused representative images of 99mTc-UCMSC-EVs and Na99mTcO4 at various time points postinjection. Significant uptake of 99mTc-UCMSC-Evs was found in the liver, spleen, lung, and bone. The elimination route of 99mTc-UCMSC-EVs was shown to be through the urinary tract. Furthermore, there was no observed uptake in the thyroid and stomach for the 99mTc-UCMSC-EVs group compared with the Na99mTcO4 group, indicating that the 99mTc-UCMSC-EVs were stable in vivo. (b) Quantification of 99mTc-UCMSC-EVs in organs/tissues of interest at various time points postinjection. The spleen uptake of 99mTc-UCMSC-EVs 24 h postinjection was significantly elevated compared with that at previous time points (67.57 ± 10.65%ID/g, ∗). No 99mTc-UCMSC-EVs were observed in the kidney, lung, bone, spine, or bladder. ∗, p < 0.05.
