Objective: This investigation was done in order to find optimal indocyanine green (ICG) concentration and energy irradiance in laser vascular welding.
Background Data: Many studies have shown that laser tissue welding with albumin solder/ICG may be an effective technique in surgical reconstruction. However, there are few reports regarding optimal laser settings and concentrations of ICG within the albumin solder in laser-assisted vascular anastomosis.
Materials And Methods: Porcine carotid artery strips (n = 120) were welded in end-to-end by diode laser with 50% albumin solder of 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 mM ICG at irradiance of 27.7, 56.7, and 76.9 W/cm(2), respectively. Temperature was measured by inserting thermocouples outside and inside the vessel. Tensile strength and histology were studied.
Results: Temperature and strength of the anastomosis significantly decreased (all p < 0.05) with increasing ICG concentration at 56.7 W/cm(2). Histological study showed minimal thermal injury limited to adventitia and no appreciable difference between all groups.
Conclusions: ICG concentration within solder is the most important factor affecting both vascular temperature and tensile strength. The optimal balance between strength and minimal thermal injury may be achieved primarily at 56.7 W/cm(2) and 0.01 mM ICG.

Local anesthetic (LA)-induced peripheral nerve block (PNB) is an important part of multimodal analgesia to reduce postoperative pain, accelerate postoperative recovery, and improve clinical prognosis. The duration of LA depends on anesthetics, and the repeated nerve positioning, puncture injection or indwelling catheter is often required to prolong the effect of PNB. In this study, the genipin, was used to crosslink gelatin-based hydrogel, and then co-loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and lidocaine as an LA-controlled release system (ICG@Lido/Gel and ICG@Lido/gGel).

Small molecules with an acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) structure, featuring a fused-ring core as the donor and two electron-withdrawing end groups as acceptor units, represent a potential option for NIR-II fluorophores, benefiting from their narrow bandgaps, superior light-harvesting capabilities, and exceptional photostabilities. However, their planar conformations predispose them to forming H-aggregates during self-assembly, leading to significantly reduced fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of the resulting nanofluorophores. Herein, we report a small molecule, PF8CN, with a terminal unit-A-D-A-terminal unit structure.

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) is a near-infrared fluorescent dye widely used for intraoperative navigation during liver surgeries because of its non-radioactive nature, high safety, and minimal impact on liver function. However, variability in its dosage and concentration and its low imaging success rates have limited its widespread application. To address these issues, we developed a novel ICG-human serum albumin (ICG-HSA) complex to enhance fluorescence visualization during laparoscopic anatomical liver resection.

Chemo/photothermal combination therapy is a promising and practical approach for cancer treatment which calls for certain nanovehicles to achieve the spatiotemporal co-occurrence of photothermal conversion and drug delivery. Herein, we developed a montmorillonite-based Pickering emulsion equipped with a near-infrared photothermal agent (indocyanine green, ICG) and anticarcinogen (paclitaxel, PTX). With both montmorillonite and ICG functioning as interfacial stabilizers, the Pickering emulsion showed good stability and nanoscale droplet size, which were favored for cellular applications.
