Purpose: To assess the treatment response to transarterial chemotherapy followed by chemoembolization for locally recurrent breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-nine women with locally recurrent breast cancer after standard therapy underwent selective intra-arterial chemotherapy followed by embolization using drug-eluting microspheres for locally recurrent tumors and axillary lymph node metastases. Tumor response and toxicity were assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), and survival was evaluated by the Kaplan‒Meier method.
In this study, we describe the fast-responsive nanoemulsion (NE)-based silver ion (Ag)-selective optode based on colorimetrically silver ion-responsive ionic liquid-based dye (ILD). The ILD comprises purely functional sensing molecules, a protonated cationic merocyanine dye (KD-M13-H) and an anionic Ag ionophore (BDM-SO), and thus, it can be used for highly sensitive silver ion (Ag) sensing due to the extremely high content of dye in the organic phase (ionic-liquid phase). However, during the Ag sensing, the cationic merocyanine dye is converted into electrically neutral form by deprotonation of the dye, which leads to the conversion of liquified dye into solid form in the organic phase, which makes the response time slower when ILD is used for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane-based ion-selective optode, especially for sensing of high Ag concentration.

Materials And Methods: A total of 98 patients with advanced lung cancer or recurrent lung cancer after the standard therapies were enrolled retrospectively. The bronchial arteries and mediastinal branches from the subclavian artery were selected by a microcatheter.
