Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography has been used in the evaluation of flap perfusion but the viability threshold has not been elucidated. In this study, we determined the threshold by comparing perfusion, using ICG imaging (SPY imaging system, LifeCell Corporation), to clinical evidence of nonviability in rat abdominal perforator flaps. Abdominal flaps, based on a single perforator, were elevated and re-inset in Sprague-Dawley rats. ICG imaging and clinical assessments were conducted preoperatively, as well as 0, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively. SPY-Q software allowed standardization of the perforator's perfusion for comparison purposes. A total of 278 random percentage measurements were made from postoperative day 0 giving a mean (SE) percentage perfusion of 26.8% (1.6%) and 59.1% (1.3%), respectively, for necrosis and survival (P<0.05). We demonstrate that ICG angiography can be readily analyzed in a perforator flap environment allowing a determination of the perfusion threshold.

Objective: This study aims to develop a dual-ligand-modified targeted drug delivery system by integrating photosensitizers and chemotherapeutic drugs to enhance anti-glioma effects. The system is designed to overcome the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that hinders effective drug delivery, increase drug accumulation in glioma cells, and thereby enhance therapeutic efficacy.
Methods: Liposomes were prepared using the film dispersion-ammonium sulfate gradient technique, co-loading the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) and the chemotherapeutic drug mitoxantrone (MTO).

: In oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC, OPSCC), frequent inadequate surgical margins highlight the importance of precise intraoperative identification and delineation of cancerous tissue for improving patient outcomes. : A prospective, open-label, single-center, single dose, exploratory phase II clinical trial (EudraCT 2022-001361-12) to assess the efficacy of the novel uPAR-targeting near-infrared imaging agent, FG001, for intraoperative detection of OSCC and OPSCC. Macroscopic tumor detection was quantified with sensitivity and intraoperative tumor-to-background ratio (TBR).

Exosomes as a unique drug delivery system provide a new choice for tumor therapy. However, the in vitro functionalization of exosomes and the process of circulating drug delivery can easily cause exosome degradation and drug loss, thus reducing the efficiency of drug delivery. In this work, based on the endocyto-fusion-exocytosis pathway of exosome formation, a multifunctional hyaluronic acid nanogel loaded with the antiangiogenic drug vatalanib and the near-infrared photothermal agent indocyanine green (ICG) was designed.

Endometriosis, the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, causes chronic pain and infertility in 10 % of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Unfortunately, no permanent cure exists, and current medical and surgical treatments offer only temporary relief. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by immune system dysfunction.

Introduction And Importance: Insulinomas are rare pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms with an incidence of one to four cases per million annually and a 5 % to 10 % association with hereditary multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1. While most insulinomas are benign and well-encapsulated, approximately 6 % may have malignant potential. Intraoperative localization remains a vital component of treatment, often facilitated by modern imaging techniques like intraoperative ultrasound and fluorescence modalities.
