Reducing Tumour Hypoxia via Oral Administration of Oxygen Nanobubbles
Hypoxia has been shown to be a key factor inhibiting the successful treatment of solid tumours. Existing strategies for reducing hypoxia, however, have shown limited efficacy and/or adverse side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential for reducing tumour hypoxia using an orally delivered suspension of surfactant-stabilised oxygen nanobubbles. Experiments were carried out...
متن کاملOxygen supersaturated fluid using fine micro/nanobubbles
Microbubbles show peculiar properties, such as shrinking collapse, long lifetime, high gas solubility, negative electric charge, and free radical production. Fluids supersaturated with various gases can be easily generated using microbubbles. Oxygen microbubble fluid can be very useful for oxygen delivery to hypoxic tissues. However, there have been no reports of comparative investigations into...
متن کاملIntravenous oxygen administration in a rat model of hypoxia.
Introduction Hypoxemia reduces tissue oxygen delivery, thus compromising cell metabolism and organ function. Supplemental oxygen at high concentrations may prove ineffective and issues relating to hyperoxia, barotrauma, mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal oxygenation are well documented [1,2]. A century ago, Tunnicliffe et al reported rapid and safe relief of cyanosis in patients by admin...
متن کاملOral administration of Ginkgolide B alleviates hypoxia-induced neuronal damage in rat hippocampus by inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis
Objective(s): The aim of this study is to explore the potential neuroprotective effects of Ginkgolide B (GB), a main terpene lactone and active component in Ginkgo biloba, in hypoxia-induced neuronal damage, and to further investigate its possible mechanisms.Materials and Methods: 54 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: the untreated control group (n=18); the hypoxia gro...
متن کاملOvercoming tumour hypoxia
Cancer occurs as a result of genetic changes and the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells that escape normal homeostatic control mechanisms. As tumour growth outstrips blood supply, cells become hypoxic and the decreased oxygen levels stimulate responses to maximise the chance of cell survival. These biological responses to hypoxia promote aggressive features in tumour cells. Also, hypo...
