Methods: PYM-GMS was prepared by optical double-phase emulsified condensation polymerization. Through UV-spectrophotometer drug content and encapsulation rate were measured. The characteristics of drug release in vitro which could simulate the actual state in vivo were tested by HPLC. Three ways of vein drop, artery perfusion and artery embolization were contrasted. Under the supervision of X-ray, PYM-GMS were perfused into the external carotid artery of rabbits by superselective artery embolization. Blood samples were tested at different time and analyzed statistically. Results: The roundness of PYM-GMS was 1.02?.005. The mean diameter was 85.6 mm, 78% of them ranging from 50-200 mm, which fitted the use of embolization. PYM content and encapsulation rate were 6.8% and 91.3% respectively. 70% of the drug was released in 3 h in the simulated environment in vivo and total drug was released after more than 6 h. After artery embolization with small dosage of PYM-GMS, the local drug concentration was 8 times higher than the blood drug concentration and the high level of local drug concentration was kept for more than 120 min. Conclusion: External carotid artery embolization with PYM-GMS, which significantly reduced the circulating drug level and employment dosage, could prolong the duration higher drug concentration and suit the purpose of targeted tumor therapy.展开更多

Seventy Bal B/C mice were grouped into A, B, C, and D. Intratumor injection were given as follows: (A) 131I-MMC-GM, (B) 131I solution; (C) mitomycin C solution; (D) untreated control. The tumor-regression rates of the Group A, B and C as compared to Group D were 58. 7% , 23. 9% and 25. 4%. The average life times of Group A, B, C and were 40. 5, 25. 5, 24. 5 and 17. 1 days. Radioactivity counts in tumors and other organs in group A and B were measured with Y-Counter, which showed that 131I was concentrated in tumors in Group A but it was very low in other organs. The study showed that 131I-MMC-GM is effective and safe anticancer agent, intratumor injection with 131I-MMC-GM will be a promising therapy for the treatment of hepatoma.展开更多

The glutaraldehyde was increased and the carboxylic methyl chitosan was added to improve the microsphere. The experimental results show microspheres have a better morphology surface and fairly regular structure with 4% glutaraldehyde. The average particle size is 15.84 gm and particle size distribution is narrow which shows a good uniformity. Microsphere size was affected by the stirrer speed, dosing ratio and curing degree. The greater drug loaded is, the better microspheres loading is; but with the increase of drug loading rate, the entrapment efficiency increases first and then decreases. The drug release rate of the microsphere is 24.90% in 0.5 h and 84.90% in 48 h, when CMC-GMs with 4% curing agent is 32.03% in 0.5 h and 88.44% in 48 h. So Gms embedding of ceftiofur alkali are better than CMC-GM. The stability tests show that strong light, high temperature, high humidity have a great influence on the microspheres.展开更多
