Gold nanorods (AuNRs) have attracted attention in the field of biomedicine, particularly for their potential as photothermal agents capable of killing tumor cells by photothermic ablation. In this study, the synthesis of novel AuNRs stabilized with thiolated pectin (AuNR@SH-PEC) is reported. To achieve this, thiolated pectin (SH-PEC) was obtained by chemically binding cysteamine motifs to the pectin backbone.

Materials And Methods: Butanolic (YBE) and aqueous (YAE) extracts were obtained from the stem of . The total saponin, phenolic, and flavonoid contents were analyzed in the YBE and YAE.
Article Synopsis
- Management of advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) has evolved with better diagnostic tests and new drugs, improving patient prognosis and survival rates.
- * New treatment modalities, including targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and advanced radiotherapy techniques, allow for more effective treatment of metastases in various body locations.
- * The article aims to provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary guide for clinicians on the management of oligometastatic NSCLC patients, addressing different treatment options and strategies in routine practice.
Bacterial infections have become one of the top ten public health concerns worldwide. These problems are aggravated with the emergence of multi-drug resistant bacterial strains. Thus, it is necessary to adopt novel technological strategies, such as development of bionanomaterials to prevent the infection, and treat this kind of bacteria.

Background: The optimal induction treatment in potentially-resectable stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC remains undefined.
Aim: To compare neoadjuvant high-dose chemoradiotherapy (CRT) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CHT) in patients with resectable, stage IIIA-N2 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Retrospective, multicentre study of 99 patients diagnosed with stage cT1-T3N2M0 NSCLC who underwent neoadjuvant treatment (high-dose CRT or CHT) followed by surgery between January 2005 and December 2014.
