Pre-embedding nanogold silver and gold intensification methods involve immunoreactions with nanogold-labeled antibodies and intensification of the nanogold particles before embedding and ultrathin sectioning. These highly sensitive methods show good resolution and ultrastructural preservation. They also are useful for simultaneous observation of immunolabeled cells under light and electron microscopes and for 3D immunoelectron microscopic analyses. Silver intensification is usually superior for immunolabeling. On the other hand, ultrastructural preservation is better when gold intensification is used. In this chapter, we introduce pre-embedding nanogold silver and gold intensification procedures for use primarily with cultured cells.

Biomagnetic fluid dynamics (BFD) is an emerging and promising field within fluid mechanics, focusing on the dynamics of bio-fluids like blood in the presence of magnetic fields. This research is crucial in the medical arena for applications such as medication delivery, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, prevention of excessive bleeding, and treatment of malignant tumors using magnetic particles. This study delves into the intricacies of blood flow induced by cilia, carrying trihybrid nanoparticles (gold, copper, and titania), within a catheterized arterial annulus under a robust magnetic field.

Early detection and management of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are crucial for patient survival and long-term health. CVD biomarkers such as cardiac Troponin-I (cTnI), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), Galectin-3 (Gal-3), etc are released into the circulation following heart muscle injury, ie, acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Biosensor technology including the use of nanoparticles can be designed to target specific biomarkers associated with CVD, enabling early detection and more rapid intervention to decrease morbidity and mortality.

The frequent immune escape of tumor cells and fluctuating therapeutic efficiency vary with each individual are two critical issues for immunotherapy against malignant tumor. Herein, we fabricated an intelligent core-shell nanoparticle (SNAs@CCM) to significantly inhibit the PD-1/PD-L1 mediated immune escape by on-demand regulation of various oncogenic microRNAs and perform RNAs dependent photothermal-immunotherapy to achieve precise and efficient treatment meeting the individual requirements of specific patients by in situ generation of customized tumor-associated antigens. The SNAs@CCM consisted of antisense oligonucleotides grafted gold nanoparticles (SNAs) as core and TLR7 agonist imiquimod (R837) functionalized cancer cell membrane (CCM) as shell, in which the acid-labile Schiff base bond was used to connect the R837 and CCM.

Purpose: The optimal management of stage II follicular lymphoma (FL) is unclear. Radiation therapy (RT) alone has been the gold standard treatment, but a proportion of patients relapse. We sought to characterize outcomes and prognostic factors for stage II FL treated with RT alone to identify a high-risk subgroup of patients who may benefit from treatment intensification.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV)+ oropharynx cancer (OPC) has a more favorable prognosis than HPV-negative disease, but the impact of specific HPV genotype and phylogenic clade on patient outcomes is not well understood and has profound implications for treatment de-intensification.
Methods: The objective of this single-institution cohort study was to investigate the association of HPV genotype (16 vs high-risk non-16) and clade (A9 vs A7) with OPC outcomes. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) in patients with M0 disease treated with curative intent.
