Photodynamic Response in Bacteria
نویسندگان
چکیده
The photodynamic lethal response of Gram negative bacteria was found to be a one event phenomenon as previously reported. However, the kinetics of the lethal response in Gram-positive microorganisms was found to be more complex. The survivor response of the latter was dividable into at least two distinct parts, each of which could be influenced by various environmental and genetic factors. Some correlation was found between sensitivity or resistance to x-ray and ultraviolet radiations and sensitivity or resistance to photodynamic action.

Evaluation of the Primary Response of Basal Cell Carcinoma to Aminolevulinic Acid Photodynamic Therapy
Background: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer in human beings. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel therapeutic method which may be regarded as a non-invasive useful alternative for traditional treatments of BCC. This study was designed with the aim of evaluating the primary response of BCC to PDT.Methods: This clinical trial was perform...
متن کاملModified Photochemical Properties of Mitoxantrone by Plasmonic Photothermal Response of Hollow Gold Nanoshells
Introduction: Mitoxantrone (MX) has been introduced as a photosensitizer drug. However, due to some side effects, the widespread use of this drug has been confronted with some limitations. Hollow gold nanoshells (HGN) have attracted considerable attention due to their interesting photochemical features that can use as nanocarrier. In this paper, the thermal response of MX and the use of this pr...

MATERIALS AND METHODS To address the focused question, "Does photodynamic therapy ...
متن کاملEffects of Combined Sonodynamic and Photodynamic Therapies on a Colon Carcinoma Tumor Model
Objective(s) Although photodynamic therapy is considered as a noninvasive method, most photosensitizers are susceptible to ultrasound. Therefore, it is expected that the combination of two activation methods might have a synergistic effect. This probable effect has been investigated in this study. Materials and Methods This study was conducted on colon carcinoma ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Combined Effects of Sonodynamic and Photodynamic Therapies in a Colon Carcinoma Tumor Model (CT26)
Introduction: Photodynamic therapy is a noninvasive therapeutic method for tumors with a maximum depth of 5 mm. On the other hand, most photosensitizers are also susceptible to ultrasound waves (the basis of sonodynamic therapy). Therefore, it is expected that a combination of the two therapeutic methods will increase effectiveness of photodynamic therapies for lower doses of sensitizer and cur...
