Background and ObjectivesA fiberoptic microneedle device (FMD) was designed and fabricated for the purpose of enhancing the volumetric dispersal of macromolecules delivered to the brain through convection-enhanced delivery (CED) by concurrent delivery of sub-lethal photothermal hyperthermia. This study's objective was to demonstrate enhanced dispersal of fluid tracer molecules through co-delivery of 1,064nm laser energy in an in vivo rodent model.Materials and MethodsFMDs capable of co-delivering fluids and laser energy through a single light-guiding capillary tube were fabricated. FMDs were stereotactically inserted symmetrically into both cerebral hemispheres of 16 anesthetized rats to a depth of 1.5mm. Laser irradiation (1,064nm) at 0 (control), 100, and 200mW was administered concurrently with CED infusions of liposomal rhodamine (LR) or gadolinium-Evans blue-serum albumin conjugated complex (Gd-EBA) at a flow rate of 0.1 mu l/min for 1hour. Line pressures were monitored during the infusions. Rodents were sacrificed immediately following infusion and their brains were harvested, frozen, and serially cryosectioned for histopathologic and volumetric analyses.ResultsAnalysis by ANOVA methods demonstrated that co-delivery enhanced volumetric dispersal significantly, with measured volumes of 15.80.6mm(3) for 100mW compared to 10.0 +/- 0.4mm(3) for its fluid only control and 18.0 +/- 0.3mm(3) for 200mW compared to 10.3 +/- 0.7mm(3) for its fluid only control. Brains treated with 200mW co-delivery exhibited thermal lesions, while 100mW co-deliveries were associated with preservation of brain cytoarchitecture.ConclusionBoth lethal and sub-lethal photothermal hyperthermia substantially increase the rate of volumetric dispersal in a 1hour CED infusion. This suggests that the FMD co-delivery method could reduce infusion times and the number of catheter insertions into the brain during CED procedures. Lasers Surg. Med. 45:418-426, 2013.
