Visual search in breast imaging: A review.
Abstract Breast cancer is the most common cancer among females worldwide and large volumes of breast images are produced and interpreted annually. As long as radiologists interpret these images, the diagnostic accuracy will be limited by human factors and both false-positive and false-negative errors might occur. By understanding visual search in breast images, we may be able to identify causes of diagnostic errors, find ways to reduce them, and also provide a better education to radiology residents. Many visual search studies in breast radiology have been devoted to mammography. These studies showed that 70% of m...

Ultrasound-mediated mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded with PDLIM5 siRNA inhibit gefitinib resistance in NSCLC cells by attenuating EMT
Eur J Pharm Sci. 2023 Jan 5:106372. doi: 10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106372. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEpidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR TKIs) was one of the main drugs in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previous studies had demonstrated that PDZ and LIM Domain 5 (PDLIM5) played an important role in EGFR TKIs resistance. However, there was no feasible method to eliminate EGFR TKIs resistance by suppressing this gene. Here, we formulated a novel mesoporous silica-loaded PDLIM5 siRNA (Small interfering RNA) nanoplatforms. The results have shown that PDLIM5 siRNA could be effect...

Tumor-penetrating codelivery of siRNA and paclitaxel with ultrasound-responsive nanobubbles hetero-assembled from polymeric micelles and liposomes.
Abstract Drug resistance is a big problem in systemic chemotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and nanomedicines loaded with both chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. paclitaxel, PTX) and siRNA's targeting antiapoptosis genes (e.g. BCL-2) possess the advantages to simultaneously overcome the efflux pump-mediated drug resistance and antiapoptosis-related drug resistance. However, tumor-penetrating drug delivery with this type of nanomedicines is extremely difficult due to their relatively big size compared to the single drug-loaded nanomedicines. Aiming at address this problem, US-responsive nanobubbles encapsulati...

Enhanced therapeutic effect of Adriamycin on multidrug resistant breast cancer by the ABCG2-siRNA loaded polymeric nanoparticles assisted with Ultrasound.
Authors: Bai M, Shen M, Teng Y, Sun Y, Li F, Zhang X, Xu Y, Duan Y, Du L Abstract The overexpression of the breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2) confers resistance to Adriamycin (ADR) in breast cancer. The silencing of ABCG2 using small interfering RNA (siRNA) could be a promising approach to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. To deliver ABCG2-siRNA effectively into breast cancer cells, we used mPEG-PLGA-PLL (PEAL) nanoparticles (NPs) with ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD). PEAL NPs were prepared with an emulsion-solvent evaporation method. The NPs size was about 131.5 ± 6.5 ...

Ultrasound-Guided Delivery of siRNA and a Chemotherapeutic Drug by Using Microbubble Complexes: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluations in a Prostate Cancer Model.
CONCLUSION: Microbubble-liposome complex can effectively target prostate cancer cells, enabling intracellular delivery of the treatment agents with the use of ultrasound. Ultrasound and MLC-mediated delivery of survivin-targeted siRNA and doxorubicin can induce prostate cell apoptosis and block survivin expression in vitro and in vivo.

Enhanced delivery of biodegradable mPEG-PLGA-PLL nanoparticles loading Cy3-labelled PDGF-BB siRNA by UTMD to rat retina.
Abstract We investigated the efficacy and safety of ultrasound (US)-targeted microbubble (MB) destruction (UTMD)-enhanced delivery of monomethoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-poly-L-lysine (mPEG-PLGA-PLL) nanoparticles (NPs) loading Cy3-labelled platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) siRNA to rat retina in vivo. Eighty Wistar rats were divided into five groups (G). The right eyes, respectively, received an intravitreal injection as follows: normal saline (NS) (G1), NPs and NS (G2), NPs and MBs (G3), NPs and NS (G4) and NPs and MBs (G5). In G4 and G5, the eyes were exposed to US for 5 min...

Ultrasound-Responsive Microbubbles for Sonography-guided siRNA Delivery
Publication date: Available online 28 December 2015 Source:Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine Author(s): Ping Wang, Tinghui Yin, Jingguo Li, Bowen Zheng, Xiaoli Wang, Yiru Wang, Jian Zheng, Rongqin Zheng, Xintao Shuai RNA interfering is a gene therapeutic approach of great potential for cancer. However, tumor-targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) solely based on the enhanced permeability and retention effect of nanocarriers is often insufficient. To address this challenge, siRNA encapsulated ultrasound-responsive microbubble (MB) was developed from polymeric siRNA micelles and liposo...

Efficient siRNA Delivery Using Novel Cell-Penetrating Peptide-siRNA Conjugate-Loaded Nanobubbles and Ultrasound
In this study, development of a novel siRNA delivery system based on ultrasound-sensitive nanobubbles (NBs, nano-sized echogenic liposomes) and cell-permeable peptides (CPPs) is described. A CPP-siRNA conjugate was entrapped in an NB, (CPP-siRNA)-NB, and the penetration of CPP-siRNA was temporally masked; local ultrasound stimulation triggered the release of CPP-siRNA from the NBs and activated its penetration.

Ultrasound assisted gene and photodynamic synergistic therapy with multifunctional FOXA1-siRNA loaded porphyrin microbubbles for enhancing therapeutic efficacy for breast cancer.
Abstract To improve the non-invasive therapeutic efficacy for ER positive breast cancer (ER+ BC), we fabricated a multifunctional FOXA1 loaded porphyrin microbubble to combine photodynamic therapy (PDT) and gene therapy of FOXA1 knockdown (KD) with ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) technology under the guidance of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Cationic porphyrin microbubbles (CpMBs) were firstly fabricated from a porphyrin grafted lipid with two cationic amino groups (PGL-NH2) and fluorocarbon inert gas of C3F8. Porphyrin group in the CpMBs monolayer could be used as a photosensitizer for ...
