This work was started by weft-knitting of an inner layer of such stent using polydioxanone (PDO) and silkf'dment. Subsequently, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and curcnmin(CUR) loaded silk fibroin (SF) membranes were coated on the surface of the weft- knitted stent using electro-spinning technique to endow the drug delivery funct/on of the stent. The results show that the radial compression strength and c/renmferentlal expanding strength can reach above (9.1±0.4) cN/cm2 and (205.0± 0.2) cN/mm, respectively. The drug releasing behaviors can be sustained for 400 h. It is concluded that the stents have potential application as anintestinal stent in the future.展开更多

However, the method utilizes a direct contact of the light beam with a patient. Further research resulted in development of another method that enables remote transmission of the pharmacological properties of a medicament into a human body with the application of low-level laser radiation as the light source. 18 patients with different viral diseases were treated with the antiviral drugs placed into the field formed by the unexplained properties of low-level laser radiation of the “device for transfer of the pharmacological properties of a drug into the patient’s body”. This resulted in improvement of the patient’s condition, the absence of side effects and adverse reactions when using drugs in the proposed device and shortened therapy period for patients with chronic hepatitis C infection and Covid-19 patients. The long-term follow-up of the patients with chronic hepatitis B infection showed that hepatitis B virus remained at low replication levels under the influence of the therapy, which made it possible to avoid such formidable complications of the disease as cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer.展开更多
