About

This project aims to address the need for individualized precision therapy for hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) in extremely preterm infants by integrating clinical biomarker screening with the design of a targeted drug-delivery system, and advancing early prediction and targeted intervention in a stepwise manner. Infants born at <32 weeks' gestational age will be enrolled. Multi-time-point blood samples and relevant clinical parameters will be systematically collected, with a focus on measuring cardiac function biomarkers (NT-proBNP), inflammatory cytokines (IL-6), angiogenic factors (VEGF), and hematologic indices (PCT and PLR). A multi-marker combined predictive model will be developed to improve the identification of high-risk infants. Building on this foundation, a nano-delivery system will be constructed via self-assembly of ibuprofen molecules and targeting ligands to achieve localized, precise, and controlled release at the ductus arteriosus. Its therapeutic efficacy and safety will be evaluated through in-vitro release testing, cytotoxicity assays, and animal model experiments.
