Intestinal cancer, also referred to as colorectal cancer, it occurs at colon or rectum, belongs in the U.S. and diagnoses the 3rd arriving
Plant most commonly seen cancer, and belong to the third-largest cancer of Cancer death.Its harmfulness is, once intestines in late period
During carcinogenesis hepatic metastases, partially hepatectomized only has 25% survival rate, and recurrence rate but has 75%, and this is 75% again
Send out rate great majority and ultimately result in death, in this 75% recurrence rate, there are about the transfer of 50% can transfer to liver with
Outer tissue.IL-13 alpha-2 receptor height is had to express in pernicious intestinal cancer transfer cell, and in the transfer of intestinal cancer
Adhesion in journey, migrating, living in, metastatic moves to be grown period and plays an important role, and causes late period
Intestinal cancer prognosis is difficult to ideal.

Glioma is a kind of primary malignant tumor being grown in central nervous system, and brain tissue is had by it
Very strong aggressive, and astrocytoma, mesoglioma, ependymoma, medulloblastoma can be subdivided into
And glioblastoma multiforme.The conventional treatment regime of glioma is that Post operation adds radiotherapy or chemotherapy,
Unfortunately be the poor prognosis of conventional treatment regime, the average survival time rate only about 14 months.Cause so low
The one of the main reasons of survival rate is that we lack a kind of sensitive detection means in early days, conventional detection hand at present
The focus less than 2mm for the Duan Wufa detection, when the cancer of the brain is less than 2mm, conventional detection means are malfunctioning, and this is
By the machine extensively applying magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent (containing gadolinium chelate compound such as Magnevist Solution etc.) clinically at present
System is determined.Magnetic resonance Magnevist Solution is only capable of the cancer detecting more than more than 2mm, and it is often
Belong to advanced tumor.Advanced tumor blood-brain barrier is impaired, and Magnevist Solution can be by impaired blood-brain barrier
And enter the growth site of tumour and accumulate on this in a large number, make NMR can capture Magnevist Solution institute
The signal intensity producing.And during early lesion when being limited in that tumour is less than 2mm of Magnevist Solution
Blood-brain barrier is relatively complete, and Magnevist Solution is limited to blood-brain barrier thus cannot accumulate on tumor focus position,
Thus Magnetic resonance imaging desired signal cannot be provided to change, cause NMR to detect swollen in early days
Knurl and wellability focus.Meanwhile, conventional contrast agents can not produce specific binding with tumour cell, i.e. belongs to non-
Target contrast medium, it is impossible to accurately distinguish lesions position and normal structure, causes the focus cannot be by when operation
Excising completely, recurrence frequency is raw then.Therefore, the wellability focus diagnosis of tumour early stage, especially less than 2mm
Effective detection of following cancer lesions position, all plays key effect to raising oncotherapy effect or tumor eradication.
But conventional MRI imaging (MRI) is even if using contrast medium brain tumor in early days also cannot be detected.Cause
This, exploitation one can pass through blood-brain barrier and is combined with tumor tissue specificity, to detect early stage aggressive swollen
The novel contrast medium of tumor tissue has very important clinical meaning.
