Apparatus and method for treatment of malignant tumors

The present invention relates to a device for simultaneously treating a tumor or cancerous growth with both hyperthermia and X-ray radiation using brachytherapy. The device includes a needle-like introducer serving as a microwave antenna. Microwaves are emitted from the introducer to increase the temperature of cancerous body tissue. The introducer is an inner conductor of a coaxial cable. The introducer contains a hollow core which houses an X-ray emitter. The X-ray emitter is connected to a high voltage miniature cable which extends from the X-ray emitter to a high voltage power source. The X-ray emitter emits ionizing radiation to irradiate cancerous tissue. A cooling system is included to control the temperature of the introducer. Temperature sensors placed around the periphery of the tumor monitor the temperature of the treated tissue.

Aptamer-based targeted delivery microRNA nanometer carrier as well as preparation method and application thereof

The invention relates to an aptamer-based targeted delivery microRNA nanometer carrier as well as a preparation method and application thereof. A targeting molecule is a sulfydryl-modified MUC-1molecule, and can be combined with cancer-inhibiting microRNA-34a, so that a MicroRNA-nanodiamond-protamine complex (MNPs) becomes AMNPs with an active targeting function; through electrostatic interaction, a negatively-charged aptamer-microRNA (Apt-miR) chimera is adsorbed to a cationic protamine-nanodiamond carrier to form a trinary compound carrier. The therapeutic effect of a nanotransport system on a non-small cell lung cancer is researched; the Apt-miR chimera is low in immunogenicity; the modified MUC-1 aptamer has high chemical stability in vivo, and can be chemically synthesized easily; in order to improve the transfection efficiency, a protamine-modified nanodiamond material (NPs) is used for helping miRNA to increase accumulation in a tumor part through permeability and retention enhancing effects.

Methods for predicting sensitivity of tumors to arginine deprivation

The present invention provides methods for determining which cancer patients are susceptible to arginine depletion therapy and methods for treating cancer. The present invention also provides methods for predicting the appropriateness of arginine deprivation therapy for a cancer patient. The methods generally comprise obtaining a tumor sample from the cancer patient and detecting the presence or absence of evidence of urea cycle enzyme expression in the tumor sample. The absence of evidence of urea cycle enzyme expression in the tumor sample is indicative of a cancer patient who is a candidate for arginine deprivation therapy, and the presence of evidence of urea cycle enzyme expression in said tumor sample is indicative of a cancer patient who is not a candidate for arginine deprivation therapy. Prior to, simultaneous with, or after testing the tumor sample, the method further comprises the steps of obtaining a non-cancerous sample from the cancer patient and detecting the presence or absence of evidence of urea cycle enzyme expression in the non-cancerous sample, wherein the absence of evidence of urea cycle enzyme expression in the non-cancerous sample and absence of evidence of urea cycle enzyme expression in the tumor sample is indicative of a cancer patient who is not a good candidate for arginine deprivation therapy, the presence of evidence of urea cycle enzyme expression in the non-cancerous sample and the absence of evidence of urea cycle enzyme expression in the tumor sample is indicative of a cancer patient who is a good candidate for arginine deprivation therapy, and the presence of evidence of urea cycle enzyme expression in the tumor sample is indicative of a cancer patient who is not a candidate for arginine deprivation therapy.

Degradable thermoresponsive poly(ethylene glycol) analogue materials

A method of developing degradable linear poly(ethylene glycol) PEG (DPEG) with multiple functioning capacities, which can be used as drug carriers for cancer cell delivery. A DPEG may be effective in targeting cancerous tumors through an enhanced permeation and retention effect (EPR). The DPEG will then degrade in the acidic extracellular fluid of solid tumors leading to fast cellular internalizations, finally degrading in the lysosome for efficient renal clearance. These may be used in conjunction with drugs and / or targeting groups. Furthermore, DPEGs are thermoresponsive, on an as needed basis, making them useful for in vivo application.
