Abstract: A migration M of a drug ion in a membrane type iontophoresis device for administering the drug ion through a first ion exchange membrane is predicted on the basis of a migration C of the drug ion from the first ion exchange membrane to the outside of the device in the case where a voltage is applied to an electrode by using the device under such a condition that the first ion exchange membrane is not brought into contact with the skin of a living organism and a migration R of the drug ion to a liposome caused by mixing a liposome solution having a predetermined concentration and a drug solution containing a predetermined concentration of the drug ion.
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of separating and purifying Cesium-131 (Cs-131) from Barium (Ba). Uses of the Cs-131 purified by the method include cancer research and treatment, such as for the use in brachytherapy. Cs-131 is particularly useful in the treatment of faster growing tumors.
