自制纳米级超声微泡体外基本特性和肿瘤造影增强显影的实验研究

目的 探讨自制纳米级超声微泡的体内基本特性及体内造影增强显影效果.方法 机械振荡与低速离心法结合制备纳米级微泡,并对微泡粒径大小、分布、微观形态和稳定性进行研究.同时在裸鼠肝、肾及前列腺癌皮下移植瘤进行超声造影实验,与常规微米级造影剂对比造影效果.结果 所制备的微泡形态圆整,大小均一性较好,分布均匀无聚集,平均粒径(580.6±36.3)nm.该纳米级微泡能显著增强裸鼠肝肾及皮下移植瘤显影,与常规造影剂比较,不但增强强度相当,且显影时间显著延长.结论 自制纳米级超声微泡造影剂各项物理特性符合纳米级超声造影剂的要求,体内增强效果和稳定性较强,为下一步纳米级微泡在肿瘤显像和治疗中的应用提供实验依据.

Physical characteristics and tumors model contrast imaging of a self-made nano-scale microbubble contrast agent

Objective To investigate characteristics in vitro and contrast-enhanced effect in vivo with self-made nano-scale ultrasoud-enhanced contrast agent.Methods Nano-lipid microbubbles were prepared by machine vibration and low-speed centrifugation.The surface potential and the microbubbles size were assessed by Zetasizer nano ZS90.The bubbles dispersity and micromorphous were observed under light microscopy and electron microscope.The characteristics of microbubbles were studied at various times at 4℃ environment.The enhancement duration time and intensity of nano-lipid microbubbles in nude mice livers,kidneys and subcutaneous implanted tumors were observed,and compared with micro-scale microbubbles.Resnlts The mean diameter of nano-lipid microbubbles was (580.6 ± 36.3) nm.The contrast imaging study in vivo showed the nano-lipid microbubbles could significantly enhance ultrasonic imaging in nude mice livers,kidneys and subcutaneous implanted tumors.Conclusions Self-made nano-scale ultrasoudenhanced contrast agent showed good stability and contrast-enhancement effect in vitro,and provide a experimental basis for ultrasound imaging and therapeutics of malignant tumors.
