This study fabricates a nanoparticle delivery system of gold nanoparticles-dextran nanoparticles loaded with hypoxia-activated paclitaxel dimeric prodrug nanoparticles (PTX-NP) and photosensitizer chlorin e6/paclitaxel-nanoparticle/gold@-(2-hydroxypropyl) (Ce6/PTX-NP/G@NHs) and analyzed the possible molecular mechanism for enhancing the radiosensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Ce6/PTX-NP/G@NHs were prepared by a coupling reaction and dextran inclusion, followed by characterization using spectroscopy techniques. The cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of Ce6/PTX-NP/G@NHs were analyzed.

Meningioma is the most frequent primary tumor of the central nervous system. Important advances have been achieved in the treatment of meningioma in recent decades. Although most meningiomas are benign and have a good prognosis after surgery, clinicians often face challenges when the morphology of the tumor is complicated or the tumor is close to vital brain structures.

Temozolomide (TMZ), a DNA alkylating agent, represents the most important chemotherapeutic option for the treatment of glioblastoma in the clinic. Despite its frequent use, the therapeutic efficacy of TMZ remains very limited due to its frequent resistance in glioblastoma. Previous evidence suggested that curcumin (CUM), an ingredient of the Indian spice turmeric, is able to sensitize glioblastoma to TMZ treatment.
