The present invention provides a new approach for cancer treatment by utilizing gene therapy combined with radiation therapy to enhance cytotoxicity in malignant cells. Specifically, the present invention demonstrates that molecular chemotherapy with the cytosine deaminase gene and 5-fluorocytosine is an effective radiosensitizing strategy which may lead to substantial improvement in tumor control, with less normal tissue toxicity than conventional systemic administration of 5-fluorouracil, that would translate into improved cure rates and better survival. A noninvasive method is described for continuous in vivo monitoring of 5-fluorouracil production via magnetic resonance spectroscopy. An adenovirus encoding cytosine deaminase gene which selectively replicates in tumor cells with a defective p53 pathway was constructed. Also provided is an adenovirus which encodes a fusion protein of cytosine deaminase and uracil phosphoribosyltransferase.

The invention relates to a intraocular lens. At present the Poly-Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lens conventional for clinical treatment of cataract always causes inflammatory treaction after implantation. Posterior capsule opacification is also a major compalication after cataract surgery. The invention selects fluorouracil to solve the above problems. Based on weak penetrating force of chitosan nanoparticles in eyes and the relation between the phagocytosis amount of conjunctival epithelial cells to nanoparticles and the particle size of nanoparticles, the fluorouracil nanoparticles preparation is prepared using chitosan-poly(acrylic acid) as carrier, composite coated on the surface of PMMA intraocular lens. The invantion also provides a preparation method thereof. The said intraocular lens not only increases the biocompatibility of the intraocular lens, but also inhibites posterior capsule opacification pafter cataract surgery. The said intraocular lens can also prevent anterior membrane after implantation of intraocular lens and after-cataract.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is an essential component of tissue extracellular matrices that contributes to the architecture of stem cell niches, which determine the fate of stem cells. Decreased levels of HA are found in subjects experiencing a variety of pathological conditions, as well as in subjects receiving a variety of therapeutic interventions, for example, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, to treat pathological conditions. The use of HA to reconstitute a tissue extracellular matrix partially or completely depleted of HA is described. More particularly, described herein is the use of exogenous forms of HA as an adjuvant in the restoration of the local tissue specific stem cell microenvironment to enhance stem cell recovery or engraftment and thus tissue recovery and remodeling following stem cell transplantation or other therapies. The effect of HA on hematopoietic stem cells is illustrative of the invention. Mice having severe bone marrow hypoplasia, and pancytopenia resulting from treatment with 5-fluorouracil recovered more rapidly if treated with HA. Similarly, mice transplanted with hematopoietic stem cells following lethal irradiation exhibited enhanced recovery of peripheral blood cell counts when treated with HA as an adjuvant therapy compared to control mice transplanted with hematopoietic stem cells without adjuvant therapy.

The present invention provides novel uses and compositions for 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate (“5,10-CH₂-THFA”) in the treatment of cancer. The present invention is based on the surprising result that 5,10-CH₂-THFA, while increasing the efficacy of 5-fluoruracil (5-FU) in reducing the rate of tumor growth and increasing survivorship, also reduces the toxicity to the patient of 5-FU. The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating cancer patients that include 5-FU, 5,10-CH₂-THFA, and one or more additional anticancer drugs. Such methods and compositions can provide increased efficacy and reduced toxicity when compared with current treatment modalities.
