Synthesis and Evaluation of Multifunctional Fluorescent Inhibitors with Synergistic Interaction of PSMA and Hypoxia for Prostate Cancer
摘要： Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. It is widely known that prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in prostate cancer, and hypoxia is a common characteristic of many solid tumors, including prostate cancer. In this study, we designed multifunctional fluorescent inhibitors to target PSMA and tumor hypoxia in order to increase the tumor uptake of inhibitors. Novel PSMA inhibitors were prepared using lysine as the backbone to connect three different functional groups: the glutamate-urea-lysine (GUL) structure for inhibiting PSMA, 2-nitroimidazole for the hypoxia-sensitive moiety, and a near-infrared fluorophore (sulfo-Cyanine 5.5). According to the in vitro PSMA binding assay, novel fluorescent inhibitors were demonstrated to have nanomolar binding affinities. Multifunctional inhibitor 2 with one 2-nitroimidazole had a similar inhibitory activity to inhibitor 1 that did not contain the hypoxia targeting moiety, but multifunctional inhibitor 3 with two 2-nitroimidazoles showed lower inhibitory activity than inhibitor 1 due to the bulky structure of the hypoxia-sensitive group. However, in vivo optical imaging and ex vivo biodistribution studies indicated that both multifunctional inhibitors 2 and 3 had higher accumulation in tumors than inhibitor 1 due to a synergistic combination of PSMA and hypoxia targeting moieties. These observations suggest that this novel multifunctional strategy might be a promising approach to improve the diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer.

Review of Biomedical Applications of Contactless Imaging of Neonates Using Infrared Thermography and Beyond
摘要： The sick preterm infant monitoring is an intriguing job that medical staff in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) must deal with on a daily basis. As a standards monitoring procedure, preterm infants are monitored via sensors and electrodes that are ?rmly attached to their fragile and delicate skin and connected to processing monitors. However, an alternative exists in contactless imaging to record such physiological signals (we call it as Physio-Markers), detecting super?cial changes and internal structures activities which can be used independently of, or aligned with, conventional monitors. Countless advantages can be gained from unobtrusive monitoring not limited to: (1) quick data generation; (2) decreasing physical and direct contact with skin, which reduces skin breakdown and minimizes risk of infection; and (3) reduction of electrodes and probes connected to clinical monitors and attached to the skin, which allows greater body surface-area for better care. This review is an attempt to build a solid ground for and to provide a clear perspective of the potential clinical applications of technologies inside NICUs that use contactless imaging modalities such as Visible Light Imaging (VLI), Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), and Infrared Thermography (IRT).

Dental Imaging With Near-Infrared Transillumination Using Random Fiber Laser
摘要： Contrary to the conventional detection method like radiography, the near infrared light source has been demonstrated to be suitable for dental imaging due to different reflectivity among enamel, dentin, and caries lesion. In this paper, three light sources with different bandwidths based on a transillumination method are compared. The contrast among enamel, dentin, and caries lesion is calculated in different situations. The experimental results show that the random fiber laser has the best comprehensive quality in dental imaging due to its high spectral density, low coherence, and deep penetration. This work provides a guidance for light source selection in dental imaging.

The near-infrared fluorescent dye IR-780 was coupled with cabazitaxel for castration-resistant prostate cancer imaging and therapy
摘要： A new drug, Caba-780, was synthesized by chemical coupling of the heptamethyl phthalocyanine near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) dye IR-780 and the paclitaxel-based chemotherapeutic drug cabazitaxel. Then, the potential value of Caba-780 in the diagnosis and treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) was evaluated. The CRPC cell lines DU145 and PC-3, as well as the normal human prostate stromal cell line WPMY-1, were used to evaluate the uptake of Caba-780 and its antitumor effect in vitro. The distribution, antitumor effect, and safety of Caba-780 were also evaluated in tumor-bearing mouse xenograft models. Our results showed that Caba-780 was efficiently absorbed by DU145 and PC-3 cells and that the cytotoxicity of Caba-780 was significantly stronger than that of IR-780 and cabazitaxel. In addition, Caba-780 inhibited the migration and invasion of DU145 and PC-3 cells and promoted apoptosis by prolonging the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Further analysis indicated that Caba-780 could be used to effectively image tumor xenografts. At the same time, this drug inhibited the growth of tumors in vivo. Therefore, the new synthetic drug Caba-780 has potential applications in the diagnosis and treatment of CRPC.

Photovoltaic organic interface for neuronal stimulation in the near-infrared
摘要： Organic materials, such as conjugated polymers, are attractive building blocks for bioelectronic interfaces. In particular, organic semiconductors show excellent performance in light-mediated excitation and silencing of neuronal cells and tissues. However, the main challenges of these organic photovoltaic interfaces compared to inorganic prostheses are the limited adhesion of conjugated polymers in aqueous environments and the exploitation of materials responsive in the visible spectrum. Here, we show a photovoltaic organic interface optimized for neuronal stimulation in the near-infrared spectrum. We adjusted the organic materials by chemical modification in order to improve the adhesion in an aqueous environment and to modulate the photoelectrical stimulation efficiency. As proof-of-principle, we tested this interface on explanted degenerated mice retinas, thus providing results on the efficiency and reliability of the device as an implant for neural stimulation.

Design of lanthanide-based metal-organic frameworks with enhanced near-infrared emission
摘要： A strategy based on the use of ligand steric hindrance and metal doping is reported for the design and synthesis of near-infrared (NIR) emitting lanthanide-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The lanthanide ions are free of coordinated solvents, and the resulting NIR-MOFs are highly emissive and exhibit long luminescence lifetimes.

Quantum Dot-Based Sensitization System for Boosted Photon Absorption and Enhanced Second Near-Infrared Luminescence of Lanthanide-Doped Nanoparticle
摘要： Efficient energy transfer is a promising strategy in overcoming the inherent limits of narrow band and weak absorption of lanthanide ions due to the nature of 4f-4f transitions. Herein, we introduce a nanoparticle-sensitized nanoparticle system where a near-infrared-emitting quantum dot (QD) is used as a sensitizer with broadband photon absorption for lanthanide-doped nanoparticle (LNP) to generate second near-infrared (NIR-II) emission. The NIR-II luminescence of Er3+-doped LNP by Ag2S QD sensitization displays an enhancement of ~17-fold in intensity and ~10-fold in brightness over bare LNP because of increased absorptivity and overall broadening of the absorption spectrum of LNP. Furthermore, QD-sensitized LNP system exhibits excellent photostability, and is able to improve the signal to noise ratio of tumor NIR-II imaging via in situ crosslinking of QD and LNP. The QD-sensitized LNP system for luminescence enhancement opens a potential avenue for efficient energy transfer in complex nanoparticle-nanoparticle systems.

Near-infrared light controlled fluorogenic labeling of glycoengineered sialic acids <i>in vivo</i> with upconverting photoclick nanoprobe
摘要： Near-infrared light controlled fluorogenic labeling of glycoengineered sialic acids in vivo with upconverting photoclick nanoprobe. Sialic acid serves as an important determinant for profiling cell activities in diverse biological and pathological processes. The precise control of sialic acid labeling to visualize its biological pathways under endogenous conditions is significant but still challenging due to the lack of reliable methods. Herein, we developed an effective strategy to spatiotemporally label the sialic acids with a near-infrared (NIR) light activated upconverting nanoprobe (Tz-UCNP). With this photoclickable nanoprobe and a stable N-alkene-D-mannosamine (Ac4ManNIPFA), metabolically synthesized alkene sialic acids on the cell surface were labeled and imaged in real time through fluorogenic cycloaddition. More importantly, we achieved spatially selective visualization of sialic acids in specific tumor tissues of the mice under NIR light activation in a spatially controlled manner. This in situ controllable labeling strategy thus enables the metabolic labeling of specific sialic acids in complex biological systems.

High-Performance p-BP/n-PdSe2 Near-Infrared Photodiode with Fast and Gate-Tunable Photoresponse
摘要： Van der Waals heterostructures composed of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDs) materials have become a remarkable compact system that could offer an innovative architecture for advanced engineering in high-performance energy-harvesting and optoelectronic devices. Here, we report a novel van der Waals (vdW) TMDs heterojunction photo-diode composed of black phosphorus (p-BP) and palladium diselenide (n-PdSe2) which establish a high and tunable rectification and photoresponsivity. A high rectification up to ≈ 7.1 × 105 is achieved which is successfully tuned by employing the back gate voltage to the heterostructure devices. Besides, the device significantly shows the high and gate-controlled photoresponsivity of ?? = 9.6 × 105 ?? ?? ―1, 4.53 × 105 ???? ―1 and 1.63 × 105 ???? ―1 under the influence of light of different wavelengths (?? = 532, 1064 and 1310 nm) in visible and near-infrared regions respectively due to interlayer optical transition and low Schottky. The device also demonstrates extraordinary values of detectivity (?? = 5.8 × 1013 Jones) and external quantum efficiency (?????? ≈ 9.4 × 106), which are an order of magnitude higher than the currently reported values. The effective enhancement of photovoltaic characteristics in visible and infrared regions of this TMDs heterostructure based system has a huge potential in the field of optoelectronics to realize high-performance infrared photodetectors.
