Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) which employs ultrasound-triggered sonosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been proved to be effective for treatment of cancers. However, it is still desirable for sonosensitizers to be delivered to tumors as effectively as possible. In this study, we
BACKGROUND
To study the feasibility of laser-induced fluorescence ( LIF) spectroscopy with intravenous injection of a new agent, hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) , in the diagnosis of lung cancer.
METHODS
Fifteen patients with lung cancer were administrated HMME 2. 5 mg/ kg intravenously
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), combining the laser and photosensitizers to kill tumor cells, has the potential to address many current medical requirements. In this study, magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were first employed as cores and modified with oleic acid (OA) and 3-triethoxysilyl-1-propanamine.
Hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) is a promising porphyrin-related photosensitize for photodynamic therapy (PDT). There still remains unknown changes regarding the mitochondrial in canine breast cancer cells treated with HMME-PDT. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of HMME-PDT
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown great potential in both photothermal therapy and drug delivery. In this study, a CNT derivative, hyaluronic acid-derivatized CNTs (HA-CNTs) with high aqueous solubility, neutral pH, and tumor-targeting activity, were synthesized and characterized, and then a new
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to examine the apoptosis-promoting effects and mechanisms of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME)-sonodynamic therapy (SDT) on endometrial cancer cells in vitro.
METHODS
Endometrial cancer cell samples were divided into four groups: 1) untreated control
We evaluated the potential utility of hydrogels for delivery of the photosensitizing agents 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) to rectal tumors. Hydrogel suppositories containing ALA or HMME were administered to the rectal cavity of BALB/c mice bearing
Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) is a major component of paints, lacquers, inks, and automobile brake fluids. As a result, exposures to humans are inevitable. We therefore, investigated in this study, its effect on testicular cells in a time-course manner in male Wistar rats. Animals were
Development of various cost-effective contrast agents for targeted tumor computed tomography (CT) imaging still remains a great challenge. Herein, we present a facile approach to forming folic acid (FA)-targeted multifunctional gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using cost-effective branched
In this study, amphiphilic Janus-type polymers were synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), multiple vicinal diol formation, and grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (mPEG). These amphiphilic polymers formed self-assemblies, which were a mixture of micelles and
Development of dual-mode or multi-mode imaging contrast agents is important for accurate and self-confirmatory diagnosis of cancer. We report a new multifunctional, dendrimer-based gold nanoparticle (AuNP) as a dual-modality contrast agent for magnetic resonance (MR)/computed tomography (CT) imaging
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective and promising method for cancer treatment, which is proposed for more than one century. However, the specific delivery of photosensitizer to target carcinoma cells to reduce the side effect is still a great challenge. This work provides a strategy to
Co-delivery of photosensitizers and synergistic agents by one single nanoplatform is interesting for enhancing photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. Here, a multifunctional nanoplatform for enhanced photodynamic therapy and magnetic resonance imaging of cancer was constructed. The poly
We report the construction and characterization of polyethylenimine (PEI)-entrapped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) chelated with gadolinium (Gd) ions for targeted dual mode tumor CT/MR imaging in vivo. In this work, polyethylene glycol (PEG) monomethyl ether-modified PEI was sequentially modified with
We report the synthesis and characterization of folic acid (FA)-modified multifunctional dendrimer-entrapped gold nanoparticles (Au DENPs) loaded with gadolinium (Gd) for targeted dual mode computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of tumors. In this work, amine-terminated generation
