Design of an imaging magnetic microsphere based on photopolymerization for magnetic hyperthermia in tumor therapy.

Magnetic hyperthermia therapy has been widely used in the nonsurgical treatment of patients with advanced stage cancers that cannot be treated by surgery. It is minimally invasive, precise, and highly efficient and has a good curative effect. In this paper, a magnetic microsphere with FeO was prepared for thermal therapy and imaging based on a photoinitiated suspension polymerization method from biallelic monomers.

One-step photocatalytic synthesis of FeO@polydiallyl isophthalate magnetic microspheres for magnetocaloric tumor ablation and its potential for tracing on MRI and CT.

Allyl monomers that were previously considered to be difficult to polymerize are applied, and FeO@polydiallyl isophthalate (FeO@PDAIP) magnetic were synthesized by one-step photopolymerization. The skeleton of the microspheres is made of diallyl isophthalate (DAIP). We obtained the microspheres using the photo-click technique in a soft template with Nano-FeO evenly disseminated in hydrophobic DAIP by cation-π and polar interaction.

Ophiostomatoid fungi associated with pines infected by and in China, including three new species.

The activity of the pine wood nematode leads to extremely serious economic, ecological and social losses in East Asia. The nematode causes pine wilt disease, which is currently regarded as the most important forest disease in China. The pathogenic nematode feeds on dendrocola fungi to complete its cycle of infection.
