Blood pressure is a significant vital sign; blood pressure monitoring has a great significance to determine the health status of parents. This paper proposes a continuous, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring system concept, which requires a minimum of calibrations. Using the changes in Pulse Transit Time (PTT) to derive changes in blood pressure is a new method to detect the continuous non-i...

• The synthesis and modification methods of different types 2D nanomaterials are reviewed. Recent advances in for cancer treatment imaging systematically summarized. nanomaterial-based theranostics comprehensively outlook challenges biomedical applications discussed. Two-dimensional (2D) have drawn much attention by virtue their unique physicochemical properties numerous potential applications....

UV-induced DNA damage gives rise to mutations and skin cancer. We have previously reported that treatment of skin cells in vitro with thymidine dinucleotide (pTT) activates p53 and increases the ability of cells to repair subsequent UV-induced DNA damage by enhancing endogenous DNA repair capacity. Here we show that topical pTT pretreatment enhances the rate of DNA photoproduct removal, decreas...

Current EGFR-targeted therapy for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has produced disappointing results. A rational therapeutic strategy to improve EGFR-targeted treatment for TNBC is therefore needed. In this study we evaluated the feasibility of treating TNBC using photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided near-infrared photothermal therapy (NIR-PTT) with anti-EGFR-conjugated gold nanorods (anti-E...

We present a novel gold bellflower (GBF) platform with multiple-branched petals, prepared by a liquid-liquid-gas triphase interface system, for photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided photothermal therapy (PTT). Upon near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, the GBFs, with strong NIR absorption, showed very strong PA response and an ultrahigh photothermal conversion efficiency (η, ∼74%) among the repor...

Combination of photothermal and photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) offer unique advantages over PDT alone. However, to achieve synergetic PDT/PTT effect, one generally needs two lasers with different wavelengths. Near-infrared dye IR-780 could be used as photosensitizer both for PTT and PDT, but its lipophilicity limits its practical use and in vivo efficiency. Herein, a simple multifunctional IR78...

The relation between stiffness of the blood vessel and ANS(autonomic nervous system) is observed by comparing the distribution of the PSD and the change of the PTT appeared the stiffness of the blood vessel at the pre-anaesthesia, sevoflurane anaesthesia and intubation after states. In this paper, PSD of the HRV well-known of the index of the ANS activity reflected the ANS activity according to...

Highly dispersible Eu3+-doped CaMoO4@Au-nanorod hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) exhibit optical properties, such as plasmon resonances in the near-infrared region at 790 nm and luminescence at 615 nm, offering multimodal capabilities: fluorescence imaging, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection and photothermal therapy (PTT). HNPs were conjugated with a Raman reporter (4-mercaptobenzo...

BACKGROUND The clinical significance of MTT and PTT, determined by deconvolution of renographic curves, is arguable. Their usefulness in diagnosis of obstructive uro- and nephropathy, renovascular hypertension and monitoring of transplanted kidneys is pointed out, but susceptibility of deconvolution methods to errors resulting from "statistical noise" is also stressed. So far there are no repor...
