Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging effective treatment for cancer. However, the great promise of PDT bladder cancer has not yet been realized because tumor hypoxia. To address this challenge, we fabricated O2-generating HSA-MnO2-Ce6 NPs (HSA human serum albumin, Ce6 chlorin e6, and nanoparticles) to overcome hypoxia thus enhance photodynamic effect therapy. Methods: The were prepared. We investigated O2 generation in vitro vivo. orthotopic model C57BL/6 mice was established vivo...

Abstract This is the first report of full‐color afterglow composites composed four multicolored (blue, green, orange, and red) carbon dots (CDs) in polyacrylamide (PAM) matrix. Thus, adjustable four‐color room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) CDs@PAM are prepared on a PAM platform. The abundant amide groups connected to functional CDs by hydrogen bonds, which promote intersystem crossover inhibit non‐radiative relaxation triple states (T 1 ) effectively shield quenching agents such as...

None of the current biodegradable polymers can function as both implant materials and fluorescent imaging probes. The objective this study was to develop aliphatic photoluminescent (BPLPs) their associated cross-linked variants (CBPLPs) for biomedical applications. BPLPs are degradable oligomers synthesized from biocompatible monomers including citric acid, diols, various amino acids via a convenient cost-effective polycondensation reaction. be further into elastomeric polymers, CBPLPs. We...

In this letter, we report the synthesis of LaF3:Tb3+–meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphine (MTCP) nanoparticle conjugates and investigate energy transfer as well singlet oxygen generation following x-ray irradiation. Our observations indicate that LaF3:Tb3+-MTCP are efficient photodynamic agents can be initiated by x-rays at a reasonably low dose. The addition folic acid to facilitate targeting folate receptors on tumor cells has no effect quantum yield production in nanoparticle-MTCP...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a treatment that uses photosensitizer, molecular oxygen, and light to kill target cells, is promising cancer method. However, limitation of PDT its dependence on not highly penetrating, precluding the tumors located deep in body. Copper-cysteamine nanoparticles are new type photosensitizer can generate cytotoxic singlet oxygen molecules upon activation by X-rays. In this paper, we report use copper-cysteamine nanoparticles, designed be targeted tumors, for...
