RESUMO
Objective: In T_(739) inbred line mice,bladder cancer model was established via tumor source transplant.In order to get insights of the biological effects of implanting ~(125)I seed to treat bladder cancer,the development and the pathological modality of tumor tissues were observed through the experiment of implanting ~(125) I seed.The experiment was to provide theoretical gist and practical guidance for clinical(utilization) of ~(125)I seed for brachytherapy of bladder cancer. Methods: 16 T_(739) inbred line mice were divided into two groups(A:experimental group,n=8;B:control group,n=8) in random;bladder cancer model was established via tumor source transplant.When the diameter of the transplanting tumor was about 0.7 cm,~(125)I seeds were implanted at the tumor of experimental group while the empty seed was penetrated into the control group at the same position as the experimental group and the experimental mice were executed after 24 days.The longest vertical diameters(a) and(b) of tumor body were observed every 3 days and the volume of tumor body(V=ab~(2)/2) was calculated.Combining with the weight of mouse(W) and the weight of tumor body after execution of mice(w),the growth curve of tumor was protracted and the colony redouble time and tumor suppression rate were calculated.After fixation of formaldehyde,the pathological modality of tumor tissues were observed with HE staining. Results: ① The transplantation was 100% successful and there was no natural fade-away phenomenon.②After implantation of seed,the weight of group A mice increased by(4.93?0.60)g,and group B increased by(13.60?1.15)g(P
RESUMO
Interstitial brachytherapy with radionuclide seeds has been successfully used for the treatment of cancer. But there are some problems remain to be solved. This review focus on some recent advances in the study of brachytherapy, including the option of radionuclides, the influence of dosage distribution by using different sources, the quality assurance, the application of brachytherapy in hollow visceral neoplasm,and new trends in brachytherapy.
