RESUMEN
The article was to study the effect of local photodynamics therapy combined with carbon dioxide lattice laser - "light needles" for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) cubic liquid crystal using glyceryl monostearate (GMO) as the substrate was prepared. The cytotoxicity of 5-ALA cubic liquid crystal combined with light needles in vitro were evaluated. The pharmacodynamics study of 5-ALA cubic liquid crystal combined with light needles of high or low energy for BCC was carried out based on the pathological changes, tumor volume, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and the recurrence rate, which has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Institute of Radiation Medicine. The cubic liquid crystal was isotropic with the lattice of PN3M. The cytotoxicity of 5-ALA cubic liquid crystal combined with light needles was much higher than that of 5-ALA or light needles alone. Compared with light needles or photodynamic therapy alone, 5-ALA cubic liquid crystal combined with light needles of high energy could prevent the BCC metastasis and of low energy could inhibit BCC growth. It demonstrated the obvious therapeutical effects for BCC. 5-ALA cubic liquid crystal combined with light needles can effectively treat BCC, which provides a new choice for clinical BCC treatment.
RESUMEN
To investigate the effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) on () biofilm. biofilms were constructed on a cell slide and treated with ALA-PDT.According to different light doses,the biofilms were divided into six groups:ALA-PDT group [ALA-PDT1 (50 J/cm),ALA-PDT2 group (100 J/cm),ALA-PDT3 group (200 J/cm)],ALA-only group (ALA group),light-only group (LED),and a negative control group (ALA-PDT-group).The biofilm structure and the ratio of the dead bacteria/live bacteria were observed using a laser confocal microscope (CLSM).Biofilm viability was measured using the XTT assay. CLSM showed that the biofilm structures of ALA group and LED group were not significantly different from that of ALA-PDT-group,whereas the biofilm structure was more seriously damaged in ALA-PDT1 group,ALA-PDT2 group,and ALA-PDT3 group than in the ALA-PDT-group.The ratios of the dead/live bacteria in ALA-PDT-group,ALA group,LED group,ALA-PDT1 group,ALA-PDT2 group,and ALA-PDT3 group were 0.350±0.033, 0.305±0.046, 0.330±0.032, 1.525±0.439, 2.293±0.148 and 3.092±0.189,respectively.ALA group(=0.003, =1.000)and LED group(=-0.025, =1.000)did not significantly differ from the ALA-PDT-group.However,the ratio of dead/live bacteria in ALA-PDT-group was significantly lower than those in ALA-PDT1 group (=-0.162, <0.001),ALA-PDT2 group (=-0.254, <0.001),and ALA-PDT3 group (=-0.352, <0.001).The values of the XTT assay were were 0.462±0.028,0.465±0.044,0.437±0.047,0.301±0.040,0.207±0.001,and 0.110±0.007,respectively,in ALA-PDT-group,ALA group,LED group,ALA-PDT1 group,ALA-PDT2 group,and ALA-PDT3 group.Although the values of XTT assay in ALA(=-0.044, =1.000)and LED groups (=-0.020, =1.000)did not significantly differ from that in ALA-PDT-group,it was significantly higher in ALA-PDT-group than in ALA-PDT1 group (=1.175, <0.001),ALA-PDT2 group (=1.942, <0.001),and ALA-PDT3 group (=-0.352, =2.742, <0.001). ALA-PDT has an inhibitory effect on biofilm.ALA-PDT destroys biofilm structure and inhibits biofilm viability.

Objective To demonstrate the therapeutic effect of curcumin hydrogel combined with photodynamics on acne. Methods Sieving and ultrasound/high pressure homogenization were used to prepare curcumin micropowder.Curcumin-loaded hydro?gel was prepared with Poloxamer 407 and its rheological characteristics were evaluated.The antibacterial activity of curcumin hydrogel irritated with 657 nm laser was assayed by a hole-punching method.Acne model on rabbit ears war established.Fifteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into five groups:the model group,tretinoin cream group,illumination group,curcumin hydrogel group,and curcumin hydrogel/illumination group.The therapeutic effects on acne were evaluated by the morphological and histopatho?logical examination.Results The micropowdered curcumin prepared with ultrasound/high pressure homogenization had smaller size and more uniform distribution(size range:5-20 μm.)than the sieving-prepared curcumin micro-powders(10-45 μm).The prepared hydrogels being a pseudoplastic fluid had the properties of gelatin.The antibacterial effect of curcumin hydrogel/illumination was bet?ter than that of curcumin hydrogel.The inhibition zone diameters were(9.4±0.92)and(12.57±1.12)mm for the curcumin hydrogel and the curcumin hadrogel/illumination groups,respectively.The therapeutic effect for the treatment of acne on the rabbit ears with ac?ne was better in the curcumin hydrogel/illumination group than in both the illumination and the curcumin hydrogel groups. Conclu?sion Curcumin hydrogel combined with photodynamic therapy showed better therapeutic efficacy on acne treatment.It provides an ideal choice for acne treatment.
RESUMEN
Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)is a common optic neuropathy seriously affecting the visual function in the middle-aged and elderly population.However,its pathogenesis is not completely clear,and therefore its treating efficacy is dissatisfactory.The current study on NAION is focused on the establishment of suitable animal model and the pathogenesis.In recent years,the relatively ideal animal models(including rodent and primate) have been established by photodynamic methods,which make people have more in-depth understanding on the pathophysiologic mechanism of NAION and lay the basis for the research of therapies.The selection of experimental animals,various induction methods and existing problems in the creation of NAION animal model were reviewed and analyzed in this artical.
