ObjectiveTo construct a multifunctional liposomal delivery system by replacing cholesterol(Chol) in conventional liposomes with saikosaponin D(SSD) and modifying with poloxamer 407(P407) for co-delivery of curcumin(Cur). The system was evaluated for in vivo tumor targeting and inhibitory effects on mouse subcutaneous solid tumors. MethodsSingle-factor and orthogonal tests combined with information entropy weighting were used to optimize the formulation process of the liposome with encapsulation efficiency and absolute Zeta potential as indexes, and validation studies and liposomal characterization were performed. A subcutaneous solid tumor model was established by injecting H22 hepatocellular carcinoma cells subcutaneously into the dorsal surface of the right forelimb of mice. DiR-loaded traditional Chol liposomes(P407-DiR-Chol-LPs, PDCL) and novel SSD-based liposomes(P407-DiR-SSD-LPs, PDSL) were prepared by the optimized formulation process, and tail vein injection was performed to investigate the impact of SSD on liposome tumor targeting with small animal in vivo imaging. Mice were randomly divided into eight groups, including blank group, model group, free doxorubicin(DOX) group(2 mg·kg-1), free Cur group(8 mg·kg-1), free SSD group(10 mg·kg-1), P407-Cur-Chol-LPs(PCCL) group, P407-SSD-LPs(PSL) group, and P407-Cur-SSD-Lps(PCSL) group. Treatments were administered intraperitoneally every other day for seven doses. Antitumor efficacy and biocompatibility were evaluated by monitoring body weight change, organ indices, tumor volume and mass, relative tumor proliferation rate(T/C), and tumor growth inhibition rate(TGI). Histopathological analysis of liver, kidney, and tumor tissues was performed using hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. Serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), and creatinine(Crea)in mice were quantified by fully automated biochemical analyzer. ResultsOrthogonal test yielded optimal ratios of Cur, SSD, and P407 to soybean phosphatidylcholine(SPC) as 1∶25, 1∶20, and 1∶4. The optimized PCSL exhibited spherical morphology with a particle size of 179.15 nm, a Zeta potential of -47.25 mV, and an encapsulation efficiency of 96.40%. Its in vitro release profile conformed to first-order kinetics, demonstrating excellent storage stability and hemocompatibility. In vivo imaging revealed that the fluorescence signal in tumor tissues and the fluorescence intensity ratio between tumors and organs were significantly higher in the PDSL group than in the PDCL group(P<0.05, P<0.01). Among the treatment groups, PCSL group showed superior efficacy over free Cur group, free SSD group, PCCL group, and PSL group, with TGI>40% and T/C<60%, indicating pronounced anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effects(P<0.05, P<0.01). Histopathology and serum biochemistry indicated minimal hepatorenal toxicity and improved hepatic and renal function in PCSL-treated mice. ConclusionReplacing Chol with SSD in preparing multifunctional drug delivery systems not only stabilizes liposomes but also yields superior anti-hepatocellular carcinoma efficacy, achieving the effect of drug-excipient integration. Co-delivery of Cur via this system can be used for treating subcutaneous solid tumors in hepatocellular carcinoma, providing new insights and technical approaches for anti-hepatocellular carcinoma research and the meridian-guiding and messenger-directing theory in traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To study the comprehensive surgical treatment of brucellosis with chest wall cysts as the main manifestation.Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on the general information epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, imaging examinations, treatment and outcomes of five patients with brucellosis mainly manifested by chest wall cysts admitted to the 948 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from July 2019 to June 2022.Results:Among the 5 patients, there were 4 males and 1 female, aged between 23 and 64 years old, with a clear history of contact with cattle and sheep. The main clinical manifestation was painless cystic masses on the chest wall. Both the serum tiger red plate agglutination test (RBPT) and the test tube agglutination test (SAT) were positive. Four cases were infected with Brucella and one case was infected with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (considered as Brucella infection based on the overall condition). All patients exhibited abnormal chest wall signals (manifesting as hypointense on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging) on magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), and were ultimately diagnosed with brucellosis presenting predominantly as chest wall cysts. After complete removal of the chest wall cyst through surgery, a combination treatment of rifampicin capsules and doxycycline hyclate tablets was given for 6 weeks. There were no significant adverse reactions and the wound healed in one stage. During the postoperative follow-up period of 11 - 40 months, MRI reexamination demonstrated no evidence of chest wall cyst recurrence, and all SAT results were negative. Conclusions:Patients with brucellosis presenting as chest wall cysts are clinically rare and lack specific symptoms. Surgical resection of the affected lesion combined with early, standardized, combined, and full course antimicrobial therapy results in a good prognosis for the patient.
