MR Thermography-Guided Head and Neck Lesion Laser Ablation.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

From the Department of Radiology, University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois.

Published: September 2018

Interstitial laser ablation has been successfully used as a minimally invasive treatment option for tumors in many parts of the body, including the head and neck. In this article, we describe the use of MR imaging guidance and mapping sequences for accurate localization of the target lesion, percutaneous interstitial laser ablation methods, and the use of MR thermography for temperature monitoring during laser ablation, with a focus on applications in the head and neck region.

Refractory lipoatrophy treated with autologous whole blood injection: A case report.

World J Clin Cases

January 2025

Department of Dermatology, College of Medicine, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju 28644, Chungbuk, South Korea.

Background: Intramuscular corticosteroid injection may cause adverse effects such as dermal and/or subcutaneous atrophy, alopecia, hypopigmentation, and hyperpigmentation. Although cutaneous atrophy can spontaneously resolve, several treatment options have been suggested for this condition.

Case Summary: In this paper, we report a case of corticosteroid injection induced lipoatrophy treated with autologous whole blood (AWB) injection, as the condition had been unresponsive to fractional laser therapy.

Objective: To analyze the clinical application value of CO laser combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy for periungual and plantar warts.

Methods: Data from patients with periungual and plantar warts treated at Qingpu branch of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between August 2022 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. After screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 96 patients were included and categorized into two groups according to their treatment regimens: a combination group (n=50, receiving CO laser therapy and 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy) and a control group (n=46, undergoing CO laser treatment alone).

Low cure rate and high death rate of cancers have seriously threatened human health. The combining multiple therapies is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. In this study, we construct a novel multinucleated nanocomplex loaded with carbon dots (CDs-SA@TAMn) that responds to tumor microenvironment for combined photothermal/chemodynamic cancer therapy.

MOF-derived intelligent arenobufagin nanocomposites with glucose metabolism inhibition for enhanced bioenergetic therapy and integrated photothermal-chemodynamic-chemotherapy.

January 2025

State Key Laboratory for Quality Ensurance and Sustainable Use of Dao-Di Herbs, Institute of Chinese Materia Medica, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing, 100700, China.

Bioenergetic therapy based on tumor glucose metabolism is emerging as a promising therapeutic modality. To overcome the poor bioavailability and toxicity of arenobufagin (ArBu), a MOF-derived intelligent nanosystem, ZIAMH, was designed to facilitate energy deprivation by simultaneous interventions of glycolysis, OXPHOS and TCA cycle. Herein, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 was loaded with ArBu and indocyanine green, encapsulated within metal-phenolic networks for chemodynamic therapy and hyaluronic acid modification for tumor targeting.
