In this study, a novel amphiphilic block copolymer biomaterial - poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (caprolactone) (PEG-PCL), was used to entrap norcantharidin (NCTD), taking advantage of self-assembly theory. Dialysis and volatilization dialysis were used to prepare copolymer micelles. Drug-loaded micelles were compared with blank micelles in terms of their particle diameter, morphology and IR spectral characteristics.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of 128-slice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA) compared to traditional invasive coronary angiography in diagnosing coronary artery disease.
- In the research involving 78 patients, CTA demonstrated high sensitivity (87%) and specificity (97%) in assessing coronary artery stenosis, despite some limitations like poor image quality in certain cases.
- The findings suggest that 128-slice CTA is a reliable non-invasive method for identifying coronary artery disease and assessing in-stent restenosis, making it a valuable tool for initial patient screenings.
