The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating diseases and disorders including cancer and various other angiogenic-dependent diseases, vascular malfunctions, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), hemorrhagic processes and treatment of pain, in particular tumor-related pain by drug delivery and / or therapeutic embolization using microspheres. More particularly the invention relates to microspheres containing non-ionic contrast agents, to compositions comprising these microspheres, as well as methods for preparing and using such compositions for embolization therapy. The invention further relates to compositions and methods using detectable microspheres for targeted drug delivery, irrespective of whether embolization is also needed.

Systems and methods treat superficial venous malformations, such as spider veins. The systems and methods distribute a light-reactive agent, e.g., verteporfin, at or near an inner wall of a vein. The systems and methods activate the light-reactive agent by applying non-thermal light energy at a wavelength that activates the light-reactive agent to cause localize injury to the inner wall of the vein.

The invention discloses application of lauromacrogol combined hyaluronic acid in preparation of a medicine for treating venous malformed foam sclerosis. The lauromacrogol combined hyaluronic acid is prepared to form a foam hardening agent in particular application. The preparation method of lauromacrogol combined hyaluronic acid comprises the following steps: pumping lauromacrogol, hyaluronic acid and injection water by using an injector, and uniformly shaking and mixing; pumping sterile air by the other injector, wherein the two injectors are connected by a medical tee-joint valve; and feeding a plurality of times in a Tessari method, and mixing to form uniform and stable foam. According to the application, the foam hardening agent is prepared from the lauromacrogol combined hyaluronic acid and used for treating venous malformation, so that the half time of foam can be remarkably prolonged, and the curative effect can be improved. Currently, the method is successfully adopted in the stomatological department of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, 20 cases with large-area venous malformation in maxillofacial region are treated, and the clinical effect is remarkable.

The invention discloses an in-vitro experimental model used for observing a venous malformation filling state and an experimental method. The in-vitro experimental model comprises a liquid storage device; the bottom of the liquid storage device is communicated with a liquid flowing pipe I; the lower part of the liquid flowing pipe I is provided with a bulge; the lower part of the bulge is communicated with a fluid flowing pipe II; the fluid flowing pipe II is provided with a flow rate control switch; a camera is arranged above the bulge; an opening is formed at one side portion of the bulge; and the opening is sealed by a sealing component. The experimental model of the present invention has the advantages of structural simplicity and simplicity in simulation experimental operation. With the experimental model adopted, the condition and treatment result of a venous malformation can be simulated more authentically. With the experimental method of the invention adopted, blood flowing and the treatment condition of a bubble hardening therapy at the venous malformation can be simulated, and a theoretical basis can be provided for the realization of the treatment of the venous malformation.

The invention discloses a developing foam hardening agent for treating venous malformations. The developing foam hardening agent comprises two effective ingredients, namely, polycinnamyl alcohol and ultravist, in a volume ratio of 2:1. A preparation method of the developing foam hardening agent specifically comprises the following steps of: extracting the polycinnamyl alcohol and the ultravist using by using a syringe according to a formula ratio, shaking and mixing up uniformly, extracting sterile air by using another syringe, connecting the two syringes by using a medicinal three-way valve, and injecting front and back for multiple times according to a Tessari method so as to mix the polycinnamyl alcohol and the ultravist into uniform and stable foams, wherein the volume ratio of the polycinnamyl alcohol to the sterile air is 1:4. According to the preparation method, a hardening agent, namely, a polycinnamyl alcohol injection, and a contrast agent, namely, the ultravist, are mixed up according to appropriate ratio and prepared into a foam hardening agent, the foam hardening agent is more stable when being compared with a hardening agent which is prepared from polycinnamyl alcohol and air merely, and the foam hardening agent is injected into venous malformation lesion in a partial puncture mode under the mediation of DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography), so that precision, visualization and idealization in a curative effect are achieved.
