Dosimetry for 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Induced Protoporphyrin IX Photodynamic Therapy of Barrett’s Esophagus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to cause specific tissue destruction, using photochemical reactions that result from light excitation of photosensitizer, which has localized in the target tissue. The process of photosensitizer photobleaching was investigated to redefine the approach to dosimetry, when applied to treatment of Barrett’s esophagus.

Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on Improving the Efficacy of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Induced Photodynamic Therapy
Introduction: The most important limitation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the efficacy of the cells in converting 5-ALA to protoporphyrin IX. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the photosensitivity at the surface plasmon resonance wavelength on 5-ALA-mediated PDT. Material and Methods: First of a...
متن کاملOptimal Excitation Wavelength for Protoporphyrin-ix Fluorescence of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Cells and Human Barrett Tissue
Fluorescence spectroscopy with six wavelengths (369 nm, 395 nm, 400 nm, 405 nm, 410 nm, 416 nm) was performed to determine the optimal excitation wavelength of exogenously induced Protoporphyrin-IX fluorescence in esophageal adenocarcinoma cells and Barrett’s esophageal tissue, as this might improve (pre)malignant lesion identification in Barrett’s esophagus. Esophageal adenocarcinoma cell...
متن کامل5-aminolevulinic acid for quantitative seek-and-treat of high-grade dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus cellular models.
High-grade dysplasia (HGD) in Barrett’s esophagus (BE) poses increased risk for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma. To date, early detection and treatment of HGD regions are still challenging due to the sampling error from tissue biopsy and relocation error during the treatment after histopathological analysis. In this study, CP-A (metaplasia) and CP-B (HGD) cell lines were used to investigat...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy Using Systemic Administration of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid and a 410-nm Wavelength Light-Emitting Diode for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus-Infected Ulcers in Mice
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a worldwide problem. One potential alternative for bacterial control is photodynamic therapy. 5-aminolevulinic acid is a natural precursor of the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX. Relatively little is known about the antibacterial efficacy of photodynamic therapy using the systemic administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid; a few reports have shown ...
متن کاملeEF1A1 binds and enriches protoporphyrin IX in cancer cells in 5-aminolevulinic acid based photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), which is endogenously derived from 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) or its derivatives, is a promising modality for the treatment of both pre-malignant and malignant lesions. However, the mechanisms of how ALA-induced PpIX selectively accumulated in the tumors are not fully elucidated. Here we discovered that eukaryotic translation elongati...
