The microspheres and conventional MMC were infused into the hepatic artery of dogs through a catheter for embolization,respectively.The plasma concentration of MMC was de- termined by HPLC.Results showed that the peak concentration of conventional MMC was 2.6 times as much as MMC-DMS.Angiograms revealed that peripheral blood vessels de- creased obviously in liver.The histopathologic examination showed that the microspheres lodged in the hepatic artery and displayed nodular necrosis in the embolized segment.The MMC-DMS were used in clinical trial in 100 patients with hepatic cancer.The tumor reduc- tion and improvement of symptoms in patients were observed after hepatic arterial embolization.The survival duration was prolonged.Results showed that the MMC-DMS is a promising embolic agent for treatment of hepatic cancer.It could aid in the use of intensive chemotherapy with minimum systemic side effect.展开更多
