Description

Embolic microsphere loaded with radiotherapy nuclide and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an embolism microsphere loaded with radiotherapy nuclide and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of medical appliances.
Background
For most HCC patients which can not receive radical treatment, selective hepatic artery chemoembolization (transarterial chemoembolization, TACE) is the first treatment method, namely, under the monitoring of imaging equipment, the embolic material loaded with the chemotherapeutic drugs is injected into blood supply arterial blood vessels of tumor tissues through a catheter, so that the 'hunger' tumors are blocked by blood supply, the growth of the tumors is inhibited, the tumors can be killed by locally releasing the high-concentration chemotherapeutic drugs, and the method has the advantages of minimally invasive, safe and targeted treatment, and the like, thereby improving the treatment efficiency and reducing the systemic toxicity. However, TACE is affected by serious liver dysfunction, portal arterial embolism, chemotherapy drug resistance, distant metastasis of tumor, renal dysfunction, etc., so that radiotherapy in combination with TACE has attracted extensive attention in the academic and market.
The combination of external radiation therapy with TACE has significant efficacy on HCC-complicated portal cancer suppositories, but has limited clinical use due to the risk of liver and adjacent organ dysfunction. Internal radiation therapy is the injection of a radionuclide drug into the hepatic artery, so that the radionuclide is selectively retained in liver tumor tissue, while the dose in normal liver tissue is lower than the tolerance dose. In recent years, internal irradiation therapy has been rapidly developed, and hepatic arterial radiotherapy embolism (transarterial radioembolization, TARE) has become a hot spot for intravascular liver cancer therapy in recent 10 years. Researchers in the last 60 th century utilize colloids 90 Y success in tumor treatment by local and intra-arterial injection was reported by researchers in the 90 s 90 Use of Y glass microspheres in HCC experiments and in clinic. 90 Y emits pure beta rays with a half-life of 64.2h and a maximum penetration depth in soft tissue of 11mm. Currently, there are 2 main types of radiotherapy microspheres approved for use, one of which is produced by Nordion, canada 90 Y glass microspheres, marketed in 1999 under the trade name TheraSphere, FDA, approved palliative treatment for HCC patients who were unable to undergo surgical resection, were 20-300 μm in diameter with isotopes located within the microspheres. The other is resin microsphere produced by Sirtex Medical company in Australia, which is marketed in 2002 under the trade name Sir-Spheres, and is suitable for liver metastasis of colorectal cancer and needs to be combined with chemotherapy, the diameter of the microsphere is 20-60 mu m, and the isotope is marked on the surface of the microsphere. The main difference between the two is that the glass microspheres are more stable, the radioactivity is high, the required quantity of the microspheres is small, the embolism effect is weak, and the permanent embolism is easy to form; the resin microspheres are easy to prepare, radioactive elements are easy to free, so that the number of microspheres required in treatment is large, the effect on hepatic arterial embolism is relatively obvious, but the incidence rate of radioactive injury to non-target tissues is high, and ectopic embolism is easy to form. The microsphere is an embolic agent which is relatively common at present and has relatively ideal curative effect, and has the functions of local radiation and embolism, and the two are 90 Y carrier. The world is being researched 166 Ho sum 188 Re, etc. has not only therapeutic value, but also nuclide imaging, is convenient for follow-up study after treatment, and has higher practical value in clinic.
Materials which can be used for preparing the embolic microsphere are a lot, gelatin sponge, iodized oil and the like in the early stage, along with the development and progress of the materials, common materials comprise polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA), calcium alginate, chitosan and the like, and the materials have good biocompatibility, are nontoxic, low in price and rich in sources, so that the materials are widely applied in the field of biomedicine. There are many embolic microspheres in the market such as blank microspheres, drug-loaded microspheres, radioactive microspheres, degradable microspheres, etc. The radiotherapy embolism treatment has wide application in treating malignant tumors such as livers, has small wounds, low risks and few complications, and can obviously improve the survival time and the survival quality of patients with or without portal vein cancer embolism in middle and late stages. The technology can also be used for treating tumor residues or recrudescence after liver cancer operation, transitional treatment before liver transplantation or liver cancer excision, intrahepatic duct cancer, liver metastasis cancer and the like, and can also replace TACE, radiofrequency ablation and chemotherapy. Therefore, the development and preparation of the embolic microsphere capable of loading the radionuclide have important research significance and market value.
