The effect of antibiotics during the perioperative period of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is still controversial. A total of 297 patients who underwent the PDT procedure were divided into 2 groups:those administered antibiotics perioperatively and those not administered antibiotics. Wound infections were noted in 7 cases (incidence rate, 2.36%) and no death was recorded. Of the ...
Until recently, PDT for lung cancer had primarily been a research tool. Several institutions worked with PDT in the 1980s, but its use in the United States remained limited to the research setting. Photodynamic therapy using the first FDA-approved photosensitizing agent, porfimer sodium (Photofrin), is now available to US clinicians. Photodynamic therapy has the potential to complement and impr...
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have recently shown great promise in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, we report a facile strategy to fabricate an efficient NIR-triggered PDT system based on LiYF4:Yb/Er UCNPs coupled with a photosensitizer of a β-carboxyphthalocyanine zinc (ZnPc-COOH) molecule via direct electrostatic interaction. Due to the close proximity between UCNPs a...
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is traditionally treated with surgical excision. Nonsurgical methods such as cryotherapy and topical chemotherapeutics, amongst other treatments, are other options. Actinic keratosis (AKs) are considered precancerous lesions that eventually may progress to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Photodynamic therapy (PDT) offers an effective treatment for AKs, and is also...
Despite its more than 100-year history in experimental and clinical use, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is only starting to be appreciated for its full potential. PDT combines a photosensitizer (PS) and light in the presence of oxygen to treat cancer and other disorders. This manuscript reviews molecular mechanisms that have been evaluated over the past years for the effects of PDT at the cellular ...
Background and Aim: Previous studies have shown that some dyes used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) have a low pH and may cause root demineralization and remove the smear layer. This study aimed to assess and compare the effects of root biomodification with citric acid and PDT on the adhesion and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Materials and Methods: In this in vitro experime...
AIM Understanding the effects of primary double tooth (PDT) on permanent successors is important to ensure healthy permanent occlusion and aesthetics. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and type of PDT, their effect on permanent successors, and the accompanying dental anomalies/pathologies in a Turkish population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study design: The records of 63 PDTs in...
Photodynamic treatment (PDT) elicits a diverse range of cellular responses, including apoptosis. Previously, we showed that PDT stimulates caspase-3 activity, and subsequent cleavage and activation of p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) in human epidermal carcinoma A431 cells. In the current study, pretreatment with nitric oxide (NO) scavengers inhibited PDT-induced mitochondrial membrane potential (...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) inflicts tumor tissue injury that is experienced by the host as a local trauma. This provokes a strong host response with pronounced neutrophilia as one of its manifestations. Mouse FsaR fibrosarcoma model was used for investigating photodynamic therapy (PDT)-induced neutrophilia and its link to the acute phase response. Compared to normal mice, the extent of neutroph...
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the phototoxic effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with indocyanine green (ICG) and near-infrared light irradiation on rat mammary adenocarcinoma cells, and its therapeutic efficacy in a rat model of spinal metastasis. BACKGROUND DATA Although PDT has been successfully used as a non-radiation treatment for many malignancies, it has not ...
