ثبت نشده
چکیده
Methods: This research took place in Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Faculty of Medicine University of Gadjah Mada/Dr Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta, Indonesia using cohort retrospective design. The subjects of this research are patients with residual or recurrence nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had received photodynamic therapies between the years 20052011. Pre and posttest examination were used to test the hypothesis of the cytokines level difference before and after photodynamic therapies.

متن کاملSonophotodynamic therapy mediated by liposomal zinc phthalocyanine in a colon carcinoma tumor model: Role of irradiating arrangement
Objective(s): Low penetration depth of light is the main defect of photodynamic therapy (PDT), which could be improved by sonodynamic therapy (SDT). In this study, a combination of PDT and SDT known as sonophotodynamic therapy (SPDT) was investigated using two reverse arrangements in CT26 tumor model. Materials and Methods: The liposomal zinc phthalocyanine was synthesized and characterized. It...
متن کاملSynergistic Cytotoxic Effect of Gold Nanoparticles and 5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Mediated Photodynamic Therapy against Skin Cancer Cells
Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic modality for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. In this study, the epidermoid carcinoma cell line A431 and the normal fibroblasts were used to investigate whether gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can induce an increase in cell death during PDT using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as a photosensitizer.Methods: Human fibroblast an...
