ABSTRACT

Aim: Laparoscopic segmentectomy (LS) using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation with negative staining method has potential for performing accurate and safe anatomical excision. This study aimed to evaluate the significance of LS using ICG fluorescence navigation compared with open segmentectomy (OS). Methods: Eighty-seven patients who underwent anatomical segmentectomies were evaluated for OS (n = 44) and LS (n = 43). The Glissonean pedicle approach was performed using either extra- or intrahepatic method, depending on the location of segment in LS. After clamping pedicle, negative staining method was performed. Liver transection was done along intersegmental plane visualizing by overlay mode of ICG camera. Surgical outcomes were compared between two groups. Correlation between predicted resecting liver volume (PRLV) calculated using volumetry and actual resected liver volume (ARLV) was assessed in two groups. Results: Patients who underwent LS showed better outcomes in operative time, blood loss, and length of hospital stay. There were significantly fewer Grade II and Grade III or higher postoperative complications in LS group. Both values of AST (p < 0.001) and ALT (p < 0.001) on postoperative day 1 were significantly lower in LS group than in OS group. PRLV and ARLV were more strongly correlated in LS (r = 0.896) than in OS (r = 0.773). The difference between PRLV and ARLV was significantly lower in LS group than in OS group (p = 0.022), and this trend was particularly noticeable in posterosuperior segment (p = 0.008) than in anterolateral segment (p = 0.811). Conclusion: LS using ICG navigation allows precise resection and may contribute to safer short-term outcomes than OS, particularly in posterosuperior segment.

ABSTRACT

A tumor-targeting fluorescent probe has attracted increasing interest in fluorescent imaging for the noninvasive detection of cancers in recent years. Sulfonamide-containing naphthalimide derivatives (SN-2NI, SD-NI) were synthesized by the incorporation of N-butyl-4-ethyldiamino-1,8-naphthalene imide (NI) into sulfonamide (SN) and sulfadiazine (SD) as the tumor-targeting groups, respectively. These derivatives were further characterized by mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV), and a fluorescence assay. In vitro properties, including cell cytotoxicity and the cell uptake of tumor cells, were also evaluated. Sulfonamide-containing naphthalimide derivatives possessed low cell cytotoxicity to B16F10 melanoma cells. Moreover, SN-2NI and SD-NI can be taken up highly by B16F10 cells and then achieve good green fluorescent images in B16F10 cells. Therefore, sulfonamide-containing naphthalimide derivatives can be considered to be the potential probes used to target fluorescent imaging in tumors.

ABSTRACT

Near-infrared organic fluorescent probes have great need in biological sciences and medicine but most of them are still largely unable to meet demand. In this work, a delicate multipurpose organic fluorescent probe (DPPM-TPA) with aggregation-induced emission performances is designed and prepared by facile method to reflect fluorescence labeling, two-photon imaging, and long-term fluorescent tracking. Specifically, DPPM-TPA NPs was constructed from 4-(diphenylamino)phenylboronic acid and DPPM-Br by classical Suzuki coupling reaction and then coated with F127. Such nanoprobe possessed high stability in diverse medium under ambient temperatures, low cytotoxicity, and brilliant fluorescence performance. More importantly, DPPM-TPA NPs showed excellent two-photon imaging and extraordinary long-term fluorescence tracing capacity to malignant tumor, and it can last up to 9 days. These results indicated that DPPM-TPA NPs is expected to serve as a fluorescent probe for photodiagnostic and providing a new idea for the development of long-term fluorescent tracker.

ABSTRACT

Parenchyma- sparing liver resections are aimed at maximizing the possible preservation of parenchyma not affected by the tumor - a current trend in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery. On the other hand, a prerequisite for operations is to ensure their radicality. To effectively solve this problem, all diagnostic imaging methods available in the arsenal are used, which make it possible to comprehensively solve the issues of perioperative planning of the volume and technical features of the planned operation. Diagnostic imaging methods that allow intraoperative navigation through intraoperative, instrumentally based determination of the tumor border and resection plane have additional value. One of the methods of such mapping is ICG video fluorescence intraoperative navigation. An analysis of the clinical use of the domestic video fluorescent navigation system "MARS" for parenchymal-sparing resections of focal liver lesions is presented. An assessment was made of the dynamics of the distribution of the contrast agent during ICG videofluorescent mapping during parenchymal-sparing resection interventions on the liver, with the analysis of materials from histological examination of tissues taking into account three-zonal videofluorescent marking of the resection edge, performed using the domestic videofluorescence imaging system «MARS¼.

ABSTRACT

As a consequence of somatosensory nervous system injury or disease, neuropathic pain is commonly associated with chemotherapies, known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). However, the mechanisms underlying CIPN-induced proteome aggregation in neuronal cells remain elusive due to limited detection tools. Herein, we present series sensors for fluorescence imaging (AggStain) and proteomics analysis (AggLink) to visualize and capture aggregated proteome in CIPN neuronal cell model. The environment-sensitive AggStain imaging sensor selectively binds and detects protein aggregation with 12.3 fold fluorescence enhancement. Further, the covalent AggLink proteomic sensor captures cellular aggregated proteins and profiles their composition via LC-MS/MS analysis. This integrative sensor platform reveals the presence of proteome aggregation in CIPN cell model and highlights its potential for broader applications in assessing proteome stability under various cellular stress conditions.

ABSTRACT

Abnormal viscosity is closely related to the occurrence of many diseases, such as cancer. Therefore, real-time detection of changes in viscosity in living cells is of great importance. Fluorescent molecular rotors play a critical role in detecting changes in cellular viscosity. Developing red emission viscosity probes with large Stokes shifts and high sensitivity and specificity remains an urgent and important topic. Herein, a novel viscosity-sensitive fluorescent probe (TCF-VIS1) with a large stokes shift and red emission was prepared based on the 2-dicyanomethylene-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (TCF) skeleton. Due to intramolecular rotation, the probe itself does not fluorescence at low viscosity. With the increase in viscosity, the rotation of TCF-VIS1 is limited, and its fluorescence is obviously enhanced. The probe has the advantages of simple preparation, large Stokes shift, good sensitivity and selectivity, and low cytotoxicity, which make it successfully used for viscosity detection in living cells. Moreover, TCF-VIS1 showed its potential for cancer diagnosis at the cell level and in tumor-bearing mice by detecting viscosity. Therefore, the probe is expected to enrich strategies for the detection of viscosity in biological systems and offer a potential tool for cancer diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

The cell membrane tracking is important for studying the membrane function and diagnosing membrane-related diseases, so the development of fluorescent molecule specifically lighting up cell membrane is highly desirable. In this work, we designed and readily prepared a fluorescent dye (BOHI) that can target cell membrane. The pH-dependent emission spectra reveal that BOHI shows fluorescence based on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) under acidic and neutral conditions, while the blue-shifted emission from the phenolate anion of BOHI was observed when pH ≥ 9. Among various solvents, the weakest fluorescence emission was observed in H2O, which is favorable to wash-free imaging. The fluorescence intensity of BOHI is greatly affected by surfactants. The anionic surfactant can induce intense green fluorescence, while very weak fluorescence was observed in the solution of cationic surfactant. Hela cells images show that BOHI can specifically targets and lights up cell membrane.

ABSTRACT

Small molecule photosensitizers for combined in vivo tailored cancer diagnostics and photodynamic/photothermal therapy are desperately needed. Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A)-activated therapeutic and diagnostic compounds provide great selectivity because MAO-A can be employed as a biomarker for associated Tumors. In order to screen photosensitizers with photodynamic therapeutic potential, we have created a range of near-infrared fluorescent molecules in this work by combining dihydroxanthene parent with various heterocyclic fluorescent dyes. The NIR fluorescent diagnostic probe, DHMQ, was created by combining the screened fluorescent dye matrices with the propylamino group, which is the recognition moiety of MAO-A, based on the oxidative deamination mechanism of the enzyme. This probe has a low toxicity level and can identify MAO-A precisely. It has the ability to use fluorescence imaging on mice and cells to track MAO-A activity in real-time. It has strong phototoxicity and can produce singlet oxygen when exposed to laser light. The temperature used in photothermal imaging can get up to 50 °C, which can harm tumor cells permanently and have a positive phototherapeutic impact on tumors grown from SH-SY5Y xenograft mice. The concept of using MAO-A effectively in diseases is expanded by the MAO-A-activated diagnostic-integrated photosensitizers, which offer a new platform for in vivo cancer diagnostics and targeted anticancer treatment.

ABSTRACT

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) acts as the major storage site for calcium ions, which are messenger ions for intracellular signaling. Disruption of calcium ion homeostasis can significantly affect the viscosity, polarity and pH of the ER. However, it is still unclear the relationship between the viscosity changes in ER and the imbalance of calcium ion homeostasis. Herein, we developed a novel fluorescent probe, named TPA, for monitoring viscosity changes that specifically targets the endoplasmic reticulum rather than mitochondria or lysosomes. TPA probe displayed good stability, as well as high responsiveness and selectivity to viscosity. The fluorescence intensity of TPA was significantly enhanced with the increased concentration or incubation time of the stimulating agents(i.e., tunicamycin), showing high responsiveness to the viscosity changes in ER. Furthermore, the TPA probe successfully demonstrated that an increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration leads to an increase in ER viscosity, whereas a decrease in calcium ion concentration leads to a decrease viscosity in ER. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that TPA probe successfully detected the viscosity changes in ER, especially the effects of calcium ion homeostasis disruption on ER. Overall, the TPA probe represents an efficient method for studying the relationship between calcium ion homeostasis and ER viscosity.

ABSTRACT

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive and lethal malignancy with extremely poor patient survival rates. A key reason for the poor prognosis is the lack of effective diagnostic tools to detect the disease at curable, premetastatic stages. Tumor surgical resection is PDAC's first-line treatment, however distinguishing between cancerous and healthy tissue with current imaging tools remains a challenge. In this work, we report a DOTA-based fluorescent probe targeting plectin-1 for imaging PDAC with high specificity. To enable heterogeneous functionalization of the DOTA-core with multiple targeting peptide units and the fluorophore, a novel, fully clickable synthetic route that proceeds in one pot was developed. Extensive validation of the probe set the stage for PDAC detection in mice and human tissue. Altogether, these findings may pave the way for improved clinical understanding and early detection of PDAC progression as well as more accurate resection criteria.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the possibilities of fluorescent detection system in qualitative and quantitative assessment of bowel perfusion in colorectal resections. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From May to August 2023, a single-center pilot cross-sectional unblinded study with inclusion of 18 patients with colon cancer (of left-sided - 12, of right-sided - 6, mean age - 72.9 years, m/w - 61/39%) was conducted. All patients underwent laparoscopic colorectal resections with extracorporeal stage of bowel transection. The evaluation of the bowel's ICG perfusion was conducted to assist in decision making about the level of its resection. Qualitative (visual) assessment was carried out in all 18 patients, in one patient twice, quantitative assessment of perfusion was conducted in 8 patients (left-sided resections - 6, right-sided hemicolectomy - 2). The qualitative evaluation was performed in real time on the analysis of the color gradient. The time parameters and fluorescence intensity at different level proximally and distally from the resection line were quantitatively estimated: Tstart - time of occurrence of minimal fluorescence in the areas of interest after the ICG injection (sec); Tmax - time to achieve maximum fluorescence intensity after the ICG injection (sec); Tmax-start - time interval between Tstart and Tmax, Imax - level of maximum fluorescence intensity (I). RESULTS: Visual qualitative analysis of fluorescence revealed unsatisfactory perfusion characteristics (black, dark-gray color) in the area planned by the surgeon to anastomose the bowel in 3 of 18 patients (16.6%). When analyzing the quantitative data of this group of patients, there was a 2-6-fold decrease in Imax level, and one patient had an increase in Tmax-start at the level of intended resection compared to the bowel's sections in the favorable zone. In all cases, the final bowel transection was conducted in the area of good perfusion. There was no clinical evidence of anastomotic dehiscence in the study group. CONCLUSION: Intraoperative evaluation of bowel perfusion is an important component of safe anastomosis formation in colorectal surgery. The use of ICG-FA allows to conduct qualitative and quantitative assessment of tissue perfusion of the bowel in order to assist in making intraoperative decisions. Quantitative evaluation of fluorescence provides more objective information about perfusion parameters. Imax and Tmax-start are the most promising quantitative indicators of local bowel's perfusion. Nevertheless, the precise interpretation of the quantitative indicators of ICG perfusion needs to be clarified.

ABSTRACT

The monitoring of formaldehyde (FA) in biosystems and real foods is critical for ensuring human health and food safety. However, the development of effective and highly selective assays for sensing FA in organisms and real food samples remains challenging. Herein, a hydrophilic group-modified the probe (Nap-FA) was reported, which utilizes the specific chemical reaction between FA and hydrazino to trigger a "turn-on" fluorescence response. The probe Nap-FA displayed superior selectivity, high sensitivity, good photostability and a low detection limit in the reaction with FA. Notably, Nap-FA has been successfully used for imaging FA in cells, zebrafish, and plant root tissues. In addition, the rationally constructed probe Nap-FA could rapidly and visually detect FA in real food samples. This work provides a prospective approach for monitoring FA in complex biological systems and food fields.

ABSTRACT

QDs are semiconductor nanocrystalline materials with distinct optical and electronic characteristics due to their microscopic size and quantum mechanical properties. They are often composed of materials such as cadmium selenide (CdSe), cadmium telluride (CdTe), or indium phosphide (InP) and are typically in the size range of 2 to 10 nanometers in diameter. These tiny particles are used in various scientific and technological applications. Some key characteristics and applications of quantum dots are size-dependent Optical Properties with tunable emission. The color of light emitted by quantum dots highly depends on their size. Smaller QDs emit blue or green light, while larger ones emit red or near-infrared light. This tunability makes them valuable in various applications, especially in molecular medicine and oncology research. Quantum dots can exhibit a high quantum yield, meaning they efficiently emit light when excited, making them excellent fluorescent probes for non-invasive imaging. This review discusses the applications of QDs and their role in biomedical research and patient care, focusing on non-invasive imaging and preventive oncology.

ABSTRACT

Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2), as a reliable signaling biomolecule for oxidative stress, its accurate detection during agent-stimulated oxidative stress plays a vital role in pathological and physiological mechanism exploration for disease theranostics. It's necessary to develop an efficient method for their detection. In view of the advantages of fluorescent probes, we rationally constructed a novel fluorescent probe Compound 2 based on 4-(Bromomethyl)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester_Herein, a small molecule fluorescent probe was fabricated using isoflore nitrile as fluorescent group, phenylboronic acid pinacol ester as the response group, to detect H2O2. The probe Compound 2 has a strong fluorescence intensity at 575 nm, indicating that the structure of the probe molecule is reasonably designed, and the Stokes shift is up to 172 nm. While the detection time is as low as 30 s and the LOD of the probe for H2O2 is as low as 3.7 µmol/L,the quantum yield is Φ = 40.31 %. It has been successfully used for imaging detection of H2O2 in HepG2 cells and zebrafish for its low toxicity. It can be found that this small molecule fluorescent probe can identify H2O2 in tumor cells significantly and efficiently, which would realize the early diagnosis of tumor.

ABSTRACT

To date, 14C tracer studies using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) have not yet resolved lipid-soluble analytes into individual lipoprotein density subclasses. The objective of this work was to develop a reliable method for lipoprotein separation and quantitative recovery for biokinetic modeling purposes. The novel method developed provides the means for use of small volumes (10-200 µL) of frozen plasma as a starting material for continuous isopycnic lipoprotein separation within a carbon- and pH-stable analyte matrix, which, following post-separation fraction clean up, created samples suitable for highly accurate 14C/12C isotope ratio determinations by AMS. Manual aspiration achieved 99.2 ± 0.41% recovery of [5-14CH3]-(2R, 4'R, 8'R)-α-tocopherol contained within 25 µL plasma recovered in triacylglycerol rich lipoproteins (TRL = Chylomicrons + VLDL), LDL, HDL, and infranatant (INF) from each of 10 different sampling times for one male and one female subject, n = 20 total samples. Small sample volumes of previously frozen plasma and high analyte recoveries make this an attractive method for AMS studies using newer, smaller footprint AMS equipment to develop genuine tracer analyses of lipophilic nutrients or compounds in all human age ranges.

ABSTRACT

Chronic venous insufficiency with and without ulceration is a common complication of varicose veins. Heinz-Lippmann disease is a potentially underreported complication of chronic venous insufficiency that involves heterotopic ossification of the peri-wound that might contribute to the chronicity of venous leg ulcers. Most commonly, heterotopic ossification is associated with traumatic injury. We report the cases of three patients with chronic venous insufficiency and no history of trauma who were found to have subcutaneous calcifications consistent with Heinz-Lippmann disease. Osteomyelitis was confirmed in two patients. Physical examination and diagnostic imaging can be helpful in determining the diagnosis. Interventions can include biopsy to rule out osteomyelitis, with subsequent treatment, if needed.

ABSTRACT

A real-time and specific for the detection of Monoamine Oxidase B (MAO-B) to investigate the MAO-B-relevant disease development and treatment process is urgently desirable. Here, we utilized MAO-B to catalyze the conversion of propylamino groups to aldehyde groups, which was then quickly followed by a ß-elimination process to produce fluorescent probes (FNJP) that may be used to detect MAO-B in vitro and in vivo. The FNJP probe possesses unique properties, including favorable reactivity (Km = 10.8 µM), high cell permeability, and NIR characteristics (λem = 610 nm). Moreover, the FNJP probe showed high selectivity for MAO-B and was able to detect endogenous MAO-B levels from a mixed population of NIH-3 T3 and HepG2 cells. MAO-B expression was found to be increased in cells under lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cellular oxidative stress in neuronal-like SH-SY5Y cells. In addition, the visualization of FNJP for MAO-B activity in zebrafish can be an effective tool for exploring the biofunctions of MAO-B. Considering these excellent properties, the FNJP probe may be a powerful tool for detecting MAO-B levels in living organisms and can be used for accurate clinical diagnoses of related diseases.

ABSTRACT

HYPOTHESIS: The development of bimodal imaging probes represents a hot topic of current research. Herein, we deal with developing an innovative bimodal contrast agent enabling fluorescence imaging (FI)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and, simultaneously, consisting of biocompatible nanostructures. Optimized synthesis of advanced protein-embedded bimetallic (APEBM) nanocomposite containing luminescent gold nanoclusters (AuNC) and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION), suitable for in vivo dual-modal FI/MR imaging is reported. EXPERIMENTS: The APEBM nanocomposite was prepared by a specific sequential one-pot green synthetic approach that is optimized to increase metals (Au, Fe) content and, consequently, the imaging ability of the resulting nanostructures. The protein matrix, represented by serum albumin, was intentionally chosen, and used since it creates an efficient protein corona for both types of optically/magnetically-susceptible nanostructures (AuNC, SPION) and ensures biocompatibility of the resulting APEBM nanocomposite although it contains elevated metal concentrations (approx. 1 mg·mL-1 of Au, around 0.3 mg·mL-1 of Fe). In vitro and in vivo imaging was performed. FINDINGS: Successful in vivo FI and MRI recorded in healthy mice corroborated the applicability of the APEBM nanocomposite and, simultaneously, served as a proof of concept concerning the potential future exploitation of this new FI/MRI bimodal contrast agent in preclinical and clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

Sudden hemorrhage stemming from internal organ wounds poses a grave and potentially fatal risk if left untreated. Injectable-hydrogel-based tissue sealants featuring multiple actions, including fit-to-shape in situ gelation, rapid hemostasis, pro-angiogenic, anti-bacterial and outcome tracking, are ideal for the management of organ trauma wounds. Herein, an injectable-hydrogel tissue sealant AN@CD-PEG&TQ which consists of four-arm 4-arm poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-SC) succinimidyl carbonate), AN@CD nanoprobe, and two bioactive peptides (anti-microbial peptide Tet213 and pro-angiogenic peptide QK) is developed. Among them, AN@CD nanoparticles form through host/guest complexation of amino-group-containing ß-cyclodextrin and adamantyl group, enabling in situ biomarker (NO)-activatable optoacoustic/NIR-II: Near-infrared second biological window fluorescent imaging. The ample ─NH2 groups on the surface of AN@CD readily engage in rapid cross-linking with succinimidyl ester groups located at the ends of four-arm PEG-SC. This cross-linking expedites the gelation process without necessitating additional initiators or cross-linking agents; thus, significantly enhancing both hydrogel's application convenience and biocompatibility. Bioactive peptides (Tet213 and QK) safeguard against possible bacterial infections, facilitate angiogenesis, and eventually, improve organ wounds healing. This hydrogel-based tissue sealant demonstrates superior therapeutic and bioimaging performance in various mouse models including liver hemorrhage, gastric perforation, and bacterial-infected skin wound mouse models, highlighting its potential as a high-performance wound sealant for organ bleeding wound management.

ABSTRACT

The main objective of surgical intervention in lung cancer is the radical removal of the entire tumor with the maximum possible preservation of healthy tissue. Although the area of the tumor lesion is known by the results of preoperative studies, it can be difficult to use this information to establish the exact boundaries of resection during surgery, especially with small sizes of the lump and when using minimally invasive approaches. There are several techniques to solve this problem. One of the latter is intraoperative fluorescence imaging in the infrared range, which makes it possible to detect a tumor not only with greater contrast than it can be done in white light, but also with its deep location. This review is devoted to the discussion of various aspects of this approach related to molecular imaging methods. The current situation based on the use of green indocyanine green, available for clinical use as a fluorescent agent is considered, the issues of using new targeted drugs are examined, as well as the possibility of increasing the depth of probing and combining with related treatment methods, which should contribute to a more radical operation and reduce the likelihood of local relapses.
