Current nanodrug-based cancer therapy is susceptible to the problems of rapid clearance from circulation and limited therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report a magnetically targeted photothermal-triggered drug release nanotheranostics system based on superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4), IR780, doxorubicin (DOX), perfluoropentane (PFP) entrapped poly-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) nanoparticles (IR780/Fe3O4@PLGA/PFP/DOX NPs) for triple-modal imaging-guided synergistic breast cancer. In this...

Ulcerative colitis is a gastrointestinal disorder intricately associated with intestinal dysbiosis, but effective treatments are currently limited. Indigo naturalis, traditional Chinese medicine derived from indigo plants, has been widely used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. However, specific mechanisms have not yet identified. Accordingly, this study, we evaluated effects and naturalis on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced rats. Our results showed that potently alleviated...

Background: Traditional nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems suffer from several limitations, such as easy clearance blood and inaccurate targeting. Materials Methods: Here, we developed platelet membrane-coated nanoparticles (PM-NPs) to improve the precise of drugs tumor sites enable a more efficient photothermal therapy (PTT) treatment. Results: Mimicking natural membrane, containing agents were not recognized cleared by immune system; they could circulate in for long time accumulate...

Modulation of hypoxia is an essential factor for enhancing the effects antitumor therapies, especially sonodynamic therapy and chemotherapy. To improve efficacy combination by reversing hypoxic tumor microenvironment, we developed shell-core structured PPID-NPs, which were designed with a polymer shell onto sonosensitizer chemotherapeutic drug loaded perfluorocarbon core oxygen. The provides sufficient oxygen not only causing to produce more singlet induce cell apoptosis but also reducing...

The antipsychotic drug olanzapine was reported to induce nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), whereas the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. This study investigated whether apolipoprotein A5 (apoA5) and sortilin, two interactive factors involved in NAFLD pathogenesis, are implicated olanzapine-induced NAFLD. In our study, at week 8, treatment successfully induced hepatic steatosis female C57 BL/6 J mice, which independent of body weight gain. Likewise, effectively...

Although research on the treatment of atherosclerosis has progressed recently, challenges remain in developing more effective, safer and transformative strategies for atherosclerosis. Nanomaterials have recently played a unique role many fields, including treatment. Platelets are common component blood. Due to their inherent properties, platelets can target adhere atherosclerotic plaques. Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) shows great prospects promoting efficiency drug...

Qingchang Wenzhong Decoction (QCWZD) is a newly developed, effective traditional Chinese herbal formulation for ulcerative colitis (UC). In earlier studies, we found that QCWZD could relieve the clinical symptoms of UC patients, reduce inflammation, and improve intestinal barrier function in dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced rats. However, relationship between gut microbiota was not clarified. this study, established rat model DSS-induced then investigated regulatory effects on using 16S...

Over the past several decades, nanocarriers have constituted a vital research area for accurate tumor therapy. Herein, magnetically targeted nanoparticles (IRFes) photothermal therapy were generated by integrating IR780, molecule with strong emission and absorption in NIR spectrum ability to produce heat after laser irradiation, Fe3O4 (NPs). These IRFes guided site application of an external magnetic field. In particular, IR780 was used NIRF imaging, we also demonstrated effective targeting...
