Background Image-guided tumor ablation is the first-line therapy for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with ongoing investigations into its combination immunotherapies. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition demonstrates immunomodulatory potential and reduces HCC growth when combined ablative treatment. Purpose To evaluate effect of incomplete cryoablation or without MMP on local immune response in residual tumors a murine model. Materials Methods Sixty 8- to 10-week-old female...
An in situ synthesis method for preparing silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) embedded chitosan-polyethylene glycol (CS-PEG) membranes is disclosed. The aim to develop implantable multifunctional devices biofilm inhibition and drug release reduce percutaneous device related complications (PDRCs). A multiple array of characterization techniques confirmed the formation fluorescent AgNCs with sizes ∼3 nm uniformly distributed CS-PEG matrix their active role determining fraction interconnectivity...
ABSTRACT Cellular metabolism is inextricably linked to transmembrane levels of proton (H + ), sodium (Na and potassium (K ) ions. Although reduced sodium‐potassium pump ‐K ATPase) activity in tumors directly disturbs Na K levels, this dysfunction a result upregulated aerobic glycolysis generating excessive cytosolic H (and lactate) which are extruded acidify the interstitial space. These oncogene‐directed metabolic changes, affecting intracellular , can be further exacerbated by upregulation...

An engineered metallic nanostructure is an excellent candidate for "theranosis" of cancer, having intrinsic properties multimodal imaging and therapy. Toward this target, the development silver-neodymium bimetallic nanoparticles (Ag-Nd BNPs) via microwave-assisted polyol synthesis presented. The resultant Ag-Nd BNPs exhibit good monodispersity with average size 10 nm, fluorescence in near-infrared (NIR) region, magnetic properties. also validate MRI, CT, NIR trimodal ability enunciate...
Monodispersed chitosan-capped bimetallic nanoparticles (BNPs) of AgGd have been synthesized for "cancer theranosis" through environmentally benign microwave-assisted polyol synthesis. In the present article, we report one-pot synthesis BNPs with varied Ag:Gd molar ratios via coreduction Ag+ and Gd3+ ions. Studies reveal a well-dispersed average size 12 nm also presence face-centered cubic (FCC) Ag Gd components within individual crystal. Chitosan (CS) biopolymer, as capping agent facilitates...
Glioblastoma progression involves multifaceted changes in vascularity, cellularity, and metabolism. Capturing such complexities of the tumor niche, from core to periphery, by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) spectroscopic (MRSI) methods has translational impact. In human-derived glioblastoma models (U87, U251) we made simultaneous longitudinal measurements perfusion (F p ), permeability (K trans volume fractions extracellular (v e ) blood spaces dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI,...

Abstract A unique feature of the tumor microenvironment is extracellular acidosis in relation to intracellular milieu. Metabolic reprogramming tumors results overproduction H + ions (and lactate), which are extruded from cells support survival and progression. As a result, transmembrane pH gradient (ΔpH), representing difference between (pH i ) e ), posited be larger compared with normal tissue. Controlling has promise as potential therapeutic target cancer it plays an important role...
Extremely small paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (FeMNPs) (<5 nm) can enhance positive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast by shortening the longitudinal relaxation time of water (T1), but these experience rapid renal clearance.
