Objective: The objective of this study is to detect the liver stiffness of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients with an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level of <2 upper limit of normal (2ULN) by FibroScan and compare histological changes to assess the progression of liver lesions and its test results.
Methods: There were 36 patients who had a liver FibroScan degree of >7.3 KD (F1), and a liver biopsy was conducted.
Light stimulus responsive therapies are based on a variety of low-toxic therapeutic agents and produce anti-tumor effects only under external light stimulation, thus greatly reducing system toxicity and improving the specificity of treatment. Moreover, light stimulus responsive drug delivery system (DDS) can combine various theranostics molecules to exert synergistic therapeutic effects of various treatments, which has played an important role in cancer treatment. In this review, we introduced the light stimulus responsive cancer therapies including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT) and light-triggered DDS applied in the treatment of OSCC, described considerable photosensitizers (PSs) and nanomaterials used for oral cancers, which will hope to better the clinic outcome of OSCC patients.

- Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are emerging as promising nanomaterials for biomedical applications, particularly in cancer treatment.
- *GQDs serve dual roles by acting as effective photosensitizers (PSs) and as carriers for delivering these PSs in photodynamic therapy (PDT).
- *The review focuses on GQDs' biological behavior and properties, exploring how GQD-based nanocomposites can enhance PDT and combination therapies for better cancer treatment outcomes.
