A magnetically controlled pump is implanted into the brain of a patient and delivers a plurality of medicating agents mixed with Avastin at a controlled rate corresponding to the specific needs of the patient. The current invention comprises a flexible double walled pouch that is formed from two layers of polymer. The pouch is alternately expanded and contracting by magnetic solenoid. When contracted, the medicating agent Avastin is pushed out of the pouch through a plurality of needles. When the pouch is expanded, surrounding cerebral fluid is drawn into the space between the double walls of the pouch from which it is drawn through a catheter to an analyzer. In cases where a tumor resection is not performed, an intratumoral catheter will be implanted. Cerebral fluid drawn from the patient is analyzed. The operation of the apparatus and hence the treatment is remotely controlled based on these measurements and displayed through an external controller.

The invention discloses a preparation method of long-acting sustained-release microspheres containing bevacizumab, which is a preparation method of the sustained-release microspheres formed by encapsulating water-soluble drug protein bevacizumab in a degradable biomedical polymer material. The microspheres are prepared by a W / O / W (water-in-oil-in-water) solvent evaporation method, which comprises the steps of: dispersing bevacizumab and a solution thereof and alginate as inner water phases into a solution which uses the degradable biomedical polymer material as an oil phase to form colostrum; dispersing the colostrum into an outer water phase which is water liquid containing emulsifier to form multiple emulsion; and stirring, distilling in reduced pressure, centrifuging, washing and drying to obtain the bevacizumab sustained-release microspheres. According to the long-acting sustained-release microspheres containing bevacizumab prepared by the method, the encapsulation efficiency of the water-soluble protein drug can be effectively improved, the drug protein activity is not influenced, the releasing time of water-soluble protein can be effectively prolonged, and the sustained release period can be 2-3 months, even longer, so that the number of injection times can be reduced. The preparation method is convenient for clinical application.

The invention relates to a nanometer drug carrier (bevacizumab medicated-SiO2@LDH (sodium dioxide @ double hydroxide)) with an active tumor-targeting function, a preparation method and an application. The nanometer drug carrier uses mesoporous silica as a core, an outer layer is coated with magnesium-aluminum LDH, and the surface is connected with bevacizumab to form a nanometer compound. The nanometer drug carrier can be carried with a treatment drug; the purpose of tumor-targeting treatment is realized by recognizing the bevacizumab specificity and combining with the characteristics of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) which is excessively secreted by tumors. The nanometer drug carrier has the advantages that the safety, active targeting property and drug carrying effect are higher; the synthesis method is simple, the cost is economic, and the application prospect in tumor-targeting treatment is broad.

Anti-angiogenic gene therapy with a combination of soluble Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (sVEGFR) improves the efficacy of chemotherapy with paclitaxel for reducing ovarian cancer mean tumor volume (in cubic millimetres) as measured using magnetic resonance imaging. The study groups were: AdLacZ control, combination of AdsVEGFR-1, -2 and -3, combination of AdsVEGFR-1, -2, -3 and paclitaxel, bevacizumab monotherapy, paclitaxel monotherapy and carboplatin monotherapy. Effectiveness was assessed by survival time and surrogate measures such as sequential MRI, immunohistochemistry, microvessel density and tumor growth. Antiangiogenic gene therapy combined with paclitaxel significantly prolonged the mean survival compared to the controls and all other treatment groups (p=0.001). Tumors of the mice treated by gene therapy were significantly smaller than in the control group (p=0.021). The mean vascular density and total vascular area were also significantly smaller in the tumors of the gene therapy group (p=0.01).

The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a preparing method and medical application of optimized plant source recombination humanized bevacizumab. Heavy-chain and light-chain fusion protein of the recombinant antibody bevacizumab is expressed in plants, heavy chain and light chain are expressed in an proportion appropriate to 1:1 by adding 2A sequence to fusion protein, the proportion promotes assembly of a complete antibody obviously, and results show that the yield of antibodies expressed with the system is high. Meanwhile, due to the fact that a stable tetramer structure is formed through equal-proportion assembly of the heavy chain and light chain of the recombinant antibody, the number of unassembled polypeptides easy to degrade is reduced, and then pure and consistent monoclonal antibodies are obtained. The bevacizumab developed with a new method is applied to medicine to be used for treating breast cancer, lung cancer, spongioblastoma, kidney cancer, cervix uterus cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer and rectal cancer.
