Table 3.
Tumour inhibition rates of various treatments.
| Group | Tumour volume (mm3) | TIRV% | Tumour weight (g) | TIRW% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PBS | 1083.05 ± 78.36 | — | 1.1223 ± 0.1196 | — |
| Free DOX | 789.71 ± 57.78* | 27.1 | 0.6981 ± 0.0339** | 37.8 |
| SS-PU-SS-PEG | 489.17 ± 30.51**## | 54.8 | 0.4833 ± 0.0442** | 56.9 |
| SS-PU-b-PEG | 740.83 ± 49.60** | 31.6 | 0.7059 ± 0.0284** | 37.1 |
TIR = tumour inhibition growth rate; SS-PU-SS-PEG = PEG-sheddable reduction-sensitive polyurethane; SS-PU-b-PEG = PEG-unsheddable reduction-sensitive polyurethane; DOX = doxorubicin.
Note: *, compared with PBS group, p < 0.05; **, compared with PBS group, p < 0.01; ##, compared with free DOX group, p < 0.01.
