Antimicrobial photodynamic activity and cytocompatibility of Au25(Capt)18 clusters photoexcited by blue LED light irradiation
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has beneficial effects in dental treatment. We applied captopril-protected gold (Au25(Capt)18) clusters as a novel photosensitizer for aPDT. Photoexcited Au clusters under light irradiation generated singlet oxygen (1O2). Accordingly, the antimicrobial and cytotoxic effects of Au25(Capt)18 clusters under dental blue light-emitting diode (LED) irradiatio...
متن کاملAntibacterial response of Cd-TiO2/PEG/folic acid nanocomposite under ultraviolet, visible light, or ultrasonic irradiation
Synthesis and characterization of Cd-TiO2/PEG/FA nanocomposite as a biomaterial is the main aim of this research. Cd-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by solvothermal assisted sol-gel method. Then, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added to the as-synthesized NPs in order to modify their surface and to prevent agglomeration. In the next step, folic acid (FA) was conjugated to Cd-TiO2/...
متن کاملPolarization of III-nitride blue and ultraviolet light-emitting diodes
Polarization-resolved electroluminescence studies of III-nitride blue and ultraviolet sUVd light-emitting diodes sLEDsd were performed. The LEDs were fabricated on nitride materials grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on sapphire substrates s0001d. Transverse electric sTEd polarization dominates in the InGaN/GaN quantum-well sQWd blue LEDs sl8=458 nmd, whereas transverse magnetic sT...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy: shedding light on restenosis.
The major limitation of the long term success of percutaneous coronary interventions is the development of restenosis, which occurs in 30–50% of patients within six months. 2 Restenosis is the result of a complex pathophysiological process in the arterial wall in response to balloon dilatation or stent insertion. For many years the hallmark of this response to injury was considered to be the de...
