The invention discloses a double-load alkaline
gelatin developing
microsphere as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
biomedical engineering. The method comprises the following steps: dispersing
sodium bicarbonate nanoparticles and
barium sulfate in a hot
gelatin solution, extruding into drops through an
injection pump, dropwise adding the drops into
liquid paraffin which is stirred at a low temperature, freezing and forming, crosslinking and curing at a low temperature through a
glutaraldehyde isobutanol solution, and washing and
drying to obtain a final product. The double-loaded alkaline
gelatin developing microspheres obtained by the invention are uniform in particle size (300-500 [mu] m) and good in
dispersity,
barium sulfate endows the double-loaded alkaline gelatin developing microspheres with stable and lasting X-
ray developing capacity, and the entrapped
sodium bicarbonate nanoparticles can slowly release alkaline substances, effectively neutralize
lactic acid in a
tumor microenvironment and reverse
chemotherapy drug resistance caused by the alkaline substances. The
microsphere provided by the invention is simple and controllable in preparation process, can be used as an
embolic agent with developing guiding and
drug resistance reversing functions, and is used for tumor
interventional therapy.
