Objective To investigate whether exogenic brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can permeate placental barrier into fetus and further through fetal blood brain barrier(BBB) after transient ischemia. Methods Seventeen day pregnant rats were selected. The uterine arteries of the rats were clamped for 30 minutes in experimental group. BDNF labeled with 125 I was injected into the rats through caudal veins. The radioactivity of BDNF in different fetal organs was measured at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. Results 125 I BDNF was detected in amniotic fluid, placenta and fetal organs including brain, heart, lung, liver and kidney. This indicated that BDNF partly permeated placental barrier. The permeability of BDNF through placenta barrier and fetal BBB increased with the increased dose injected. BDNF reached the fetal brain through BBB under hypoxia eschemia condition. The rates of penetration of BDNF through placental barrier and BBB increased under the condition of fetal ischemia and hypoxia. Conclusions Exogenic BDNF may partly go through placental barrier and BBB into fetal brain, which makes it possible for BDNF to be a treatment for fetus suffered from ischemia and hypoxia.

To study pharmacokinetics of injection of iodine-131 labelling MEI-TUO-XI monoclonal antibody (hepatoma monoclonal antibody HAb18 F(ab')2) in vivo. 24 cases of primary hepatocelluar carcinoma (PHC) were equally divided into the low dose group, middle dose group and high dose group. After the relevant injection was administrated into the hepatic artery of each case, intravenous blood and urine samples were separately collected at different time for determination of the radioactive count ratio (min(-1)). The proportion of 131I-HAb18 F(ab')2 in serum of each blood sample was determined, and the radioactive count ratio (min(-1)) of druggery for each blood sample was revised according to the proportion. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using DAS ver 1.0 (Drug And Statistics for Windows) program. The component of urine radiomaterial was determined and the percentages of urine radioactivity in administration dosage were calculated. The catabolism of the injection with time accorded with dynamics two-compartment model. The catabolism product was mainly free-131I and was excreted via kidney; the urine radioactivity was 47.70%-51.16% of administration dosage during 120 h after administration of drug. Therefore, the pharmacokinetics of the injection can satisfy the clinical demands. The drug dose recommended for clinical use was 27.75 MBq of the injection for each kg of human body.

Bacteria-mediated anti-tumor therapy has received widespread attention due to its natural tumor-targeting ability and specific immune-activation characteristics. It has made significant progress in breaking the limitations of monotherapy and effectively eradicating tumors, especially when combined with traditional therapy, such as radiotherapy. According to their different biological characteristics, bacteria and their derivatives can not only improve the sensitivity of tumor radiotherapy but also protect normal tissues. Moreover, genetically engineered bacteria and bacteria-based biomaterials have further expanded the scope of their applications in radiotherapy. In this review, we have summarized relevant researches on the application of bacteria and its derivatives in radiotherapy in recent years, expounding that the bacteria, bacterial derivatives and bacteria-based biomaterials can not only directly enhance radiotherapy but also improve the anti-tumor effect by improving the tumor microenvironment (TME) and immune effects. Furthermore, some probiotics can also protect normal tissues and organs such as intestines from radiation via anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and apoptosis inhibition. In conclusion, the prospect of bacteria in radiotherapy will be very extensive, but its biological safety and mechanism need to be further evaluated and studied.
