Description

Safe microspheres loaded with pure beta rays and preparation method thereof

The invention relates to a glass microsphere with high chemical stability loaded with pure beta ray for cancer treatment through activation energy and its technology.

Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are traditional cancer treatment methods. As we all know, radiotherapy is more targeted and flexible than chemotherapy. Cancer patients are more willing to use radiotherapy for direct treatment, so that the tumor can be shrunk to obtain a chance of surgery, or the tumor cells can be completely killed and necrotic. Although cancer cells absorb radiation more easily than normal cells, normal cells are still damaged by radiation after all. Therefore, the radiation dose of external radiotherapy is generally not large enough to kill all cancer cells, thus affecting the curative effect. In the early 1980s, interventional internal radiation therapy was started abroad, in which isotopes capable of emitting radiation were complexed with polymer resins, and then inserted into the tumor site in the body. However, in actual use, it was found that the combination of radionuclides and macromolecules is not strong, and it is easy to fall off into an ion state, which flows to various parts of the body, causing greater harm.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-208918 discloses a method for ion sputtering to infiltrate radioactive isotope phosphorus into SiO ₂ glass microsphere outer surface layer to form phosphorus-infiltrated glass microspheres for radiotherapy cancer. The phosphorus in the surface layer of the glass microspheres of the invention is easily dissolved in the blood, and flows to various parts of the whole body, causing harm.

For this reason, the invention patent CN 1080266 A of my country on January 5, 1994 discloses a kind of phosphorus 32 series glass microspheres. It is smelted from salts such as phosphate, magnesium silicate, and aluminum silicate. In 1991, U.S. Patent No. 5,011,677 disclosed yttrium-aluminum-silicate glass microspheres formed by high-temperature melting. Although the radioisotopes of the above two patents are relatively firmly combined with the vitreous body, the common disadvantage is that there are still some radioactive nuclides leaching out from the glass microspheres, which dissolve in the blood and bring harm to the patient's health. harm.

The object of the present invention is to design a glass microsphere with simple structure, safe use and activated radionuclide that only carries pure beta rays. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing the safe microspheres

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is carried out in that it is composed of glass microspheres loaded with pure β-rays through activation energy, and a corrosion-resistant coating coated on its outer surface. The anti-corrosion coating can be SiO ₂ , or/and Al ₂ O ₃ , or/and TiO ₂ , or/and ZrO ₂ . The glass microspheres loaded with pure β rays can be Y _- 89 glass microspheres containing Y _{2 O 3} , SiO ₂ , _{Al 2} O ₃ , or _P- 31 glass microspheres.

The step of preparing microspheres of the present invention is; first add surfactant and stir in glass microspheres, surfactant can adopt polyethylene glycol or silane coupling agent, the amount of adding is to add 0.3 in every 100 grams of glass microspheres -0.5 g of surfactant. Then soak the above-mentioned glass microspheres in an anti-corrosion coating material containing 50-100% ethyl orthosilicate, 0-30% aluminum nitrate, 0-20% butyl titanate, and 0-30% zirconium nitrate. Stir in the sol solution to make the above-mentioned treated glass microspheres gel, then remove the organic solvent by cyclone drying after solid-liquid separation, then age at room temperature for 20-30 days, and finally in the muffle furnace for 300- Heating, evaporating and heat treatment at 600°C to make it vitrified, the safety microspheres coated with anti-corrosion coating on the surface of the present invention are obtained. The glass microsphere of the present invention can carry nuclide Y-90 or P-32 of pure beta ray through neutron activation, and has a strong ability to kill all cancer cells in the human body.

The biggest advantage of the safe microsphere of the present invention is that it is safe and reliable. Because the outer surface of the glass microsphere containing radioisotope is firmly coated with a layer of corrosion-resistant coating film, it has extremely stable chemical properties, so radioisotope is not easy to pass through. The leaching process migrates into the blood, and there is no radioactive pollution to the surroundings, which is very reliable and safe.

Another advantage of the safety microspheres of the present invention is that under neutron irradiation, they can be activated into nuclide Y-90 or P-32 containing a single pure beta ray, and they can be smoothly inserted into designated parts of the body. Animal experiments and clinical use in hospitals have confirmed that such microspheres have a strong ability to kill all cancer cells in the human body, especially effective against liver cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

Another advantage of the present invention is that the preparation method is simple and easy to control, and the corrosion-resistant coating of the safety microspheres prepared by the method of the present invention can firmly adhere to the surface of the glass microspheres, and the coating will not fall off. The composition of the corrosion-resistant coating will not emit any other long-lived harmful impurity rays under the activation of neutron rays. The glass microspheres and the corrosion-resistant coating will not chemically react to change their respective characteristics. The dissolution rate of the radionuclides is 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than that of the original glass microspheres without the anti-corrosion coating.
