ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect on body distribution tendency of paclitaxel liposome in the lung cancer rats after acupuncture of Feishu,Taiyuan acupoints in order to develop the new path for the target study of anticancer drugs.Method The paclitaxel liposome was labeled by technetium(Tc).Four methods including tail intravenous injection of paclitaxel liposome merely and the combination of tail intravenous injection of paclitaxel liposome with acupuncture of Feishu,Taiyuan(concerned acupoint) and Shenmen(unconcerned acupoint) acupoints respectively were carried on the intervention to the lung cancer rat models(18 in each group).The rats were sentenced to death at 60,90,120 minutes(6 at each time point) respectively after drug injection,and the drug content of paclitaxel liposome in the lung,liver,kidney organs were measureed by the ?-radiate immunity counting implement respectively.Result Acupuncturing at Feishu and Taiyuan can lead to the drug content increment of paclitaxel liposome in the lung organization of the lung cancer rats in all or parts of time points.On the contrary,acupuncturing at Shenmen can not.Conclusion Acupuncturing Feishu and Taiyuan can make tropism effect on the disposition of paclitaxel liposome in vivo in lung cancer rats.Feishu is stronger than Taiyuan on the drug tropism of the lung.
