Figures & data

Figure 8 Rectal retention time.

Notes: 5FU microemulsion and TG-5FU-ME with 0.1%Cy7NHS ester were administered into the rectum, 0.5 cm above the anus using a stomach probe needle. (A–C) 5FU microemulsion (2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes after administration); (D–F) TG-5FU-ME (2 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours after administration).
Abbreviations: 5FU, 5-fluorouracil; TG-5FU-ME, thermosensitive gel-mediated 5FU water-in-oil microemulsion; Cpx, count per second.

Figure 10 The morphology of rectal tissues after exposure to 5FU thermosensitive gel and TG-5FU-ME.

Notes: The rat’s rectal tissue was taken 12 hours after TG-5FU-ME (A) and 5FU thermosensitive gel (B) administration (20 mg kg−1 of 5FU) through rectal route. Tissue slides were examined with H&E staining (×200).
Abbreviations: 5FU, 5-fluorouracil; H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; TG-5FU-ME, thermosensitive gel-mediated 5FU water-in-oil microemulsion.
