Hydrosyringomyelia and its management in childhood.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:This work evaluates the potential of lipid-coated microbubbles (LCM) as a delivery vehicle for lipid-soluble antineoplastic agents. We have shown, in rats, the selective affinity of intravenously administered LCM for tumor cells. They are internalized by the tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. The specific...
