چکیده
We report a novel nanoparticle that is promising for photodynamic therapy applications, which consists of a p-conjugated polymer doped with a singlet oxygen photosensitizer. The nanoparticles exhibit highly efficient collection of excitation light due to the large excitation cross-section of the polymer. A quantum efficiency of singlet oxygen production of 0.5 was determined. Extraordinarily large two-photon excitation cross-sections were determined, indicating promise for near infrared multiphoton photodynamic therapy. Gel electrophoresis of DNA after near-UV irradiation in the presence of nanoparticles indicated both purine base and backbone DNA damage.

متن کاملAn autoradiographic evaluation of AV-1451 Tau PET in dementia
BACKGROUND It is essential to determine the specificity of AV-1451 PET for tau in brain imaging by using pathological comparisons. We performed autoradiography in autopsy-confirmed Alzheimer disease and other neurodegenerative disorders to evaluate the specificity of AV-1451 binding for tau aggregates. METHODS Tissue samples were selected that had a variety of dementia-related neuropathologie...
متن کاملIEEE 1451: transducer networking and interface standardisation
This paper explores the application of rapidly maturing terrestrial transducer technologies, in particular IEEE-1451 to space applications. We propose that the application of these technologies to sensors and actuators on spacecraft will bring significant benefits in terms of harness reduction, simplified integration and testing, and better quality systems. In this paper we introduce the IEEE-1...
متن کاملComparing 18F-AV-1451 with CSF t-tau and p-tau for diagnosis of Alzheimer disease
OBJECTIVE To compare PET imaging of tau pathology with CSF measurements (total tau [t-tau] and phosphorylated tau [p-tau]) in terms of diagnostic performance for Alzheimer disease (AD). METHODS We compared t-tau and p-tau and 18F-AV-1451 in 30 controls, 14 patients with prodromal AD, and 39 patients with Alzheimer dementia, recruited from the Swedish BioFINDER study. All patients with AD (pro...
متن کاملIn vivo retention of 18F-AV-1451 in corticobasal syndrome
OBJECTIVE To study the usefulness of 18F-AV-1451 PET in patients with corticobasal syndrome (CBS). METHODS We recruited 8 patients with CBS, 17 controls, 31 patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), and 11 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from the Swedish BioFINDER study. All patients underwent clinical assessment, 18F-AV-1451 PET, MRI, and quantification of β-amyloid pathology....
