Background: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of distinct pre-irradiation times (PIT) of curcumin on the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) against intact dentin caries biofilms grown for 3 or 5 days.
Methods: The microcosm biofilms grew on non-fluorescent glass blocks immersed in McBain medium with 1% sucrose, using microaerophilic conditions at 37 °C for 3 or 5 days. The biofilms were treated by the association of 600 μmol.L curcumin using different pre-irradiation times (1, 2 or 5 min) combined with 0 or 75 J.cm blue LED. Then, the vitality of biofilms was determined by confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM), after being stained with the mixture of ethidium bromide and fluorescein diacetate. Statistical analysis was performed by two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey tests, after arcsine transformation (P < 0,05).
Results: In comparison to control, curcumin alone (PIT = 5 min) and all combinations of curcumin and LED reduced significantly the vitality of 3-day biofilms. Distinctly, only curcumin plus LED using PITs of 2 or 5 min were effective in reducing the vitality of 5-day biofilms.
Conclusion: Curcumin-mediated aPDT significantly decreased the vitality of intact dentin caries microcosms grown during 3 or 5 days, although successful treatments of 5-day biofilms required longer PITs in comparison to their counterparts.

Photoactivatable metal complexes offer the prospect of novel drugs with low side effects and new mechanisms of action to combat resistance to current therapy. We highlight recent progress in the design of platinum, ruthenium, iridium, gold and other transition metal complexes, especially for applications as anticancer and anti-infective agents. In particular, understanding excited state chemistry related to identification of the bioactive species (excited state metallomics/pharmacophores) is important.

Purpose: Photo-immunotherapy faces challenges from poor immunogenicity and low response rate due to hypoxic microenvironment. This study presents Rh-PTZ, a small organic molecule with a D-π-A structure, that simultaneously amplifies mitochondria-targeted type-I PDT-dependent immune stimulation for the treatment of hypoxic cancer.
Methods: The hydrophobic Rh-PTZ was encapsulated into F127 to prepare Rh-PTZ nanoparticles (Rh-PTZ NPs).

Compared to traditional preservatives, photodynamic inactivation (PDI) offers a promising bactericidal approach due to its nontoxic nature and low propensity for microbial resistance. In this paper, we initially investigate the principles and antibacterial mechanisms underlying PDI. We then review factors influencing PDI's germicidal efficacy in food preservation.

The development of biomass material is an important approach to alleviating the excessive using of plastic packaging, by which the product could be more environmentally friendly and lower toxicity. In this study, we developed a biodegradable photodynamic antibacterial food packaging film using nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) synthesized from crayfish shells, combined with konjac glucomannan (KGM) and sodium alginate (SA). Casting method was used to prepare the composite film and results indicated that incorporation of N-CQDs significantly enhanced the mechanical and barrier properties of the film by reducing the number of micropores.
