A solid multi-layered concentric sphere with Gaussian space source is considered as the tissue model for magnetic hyperthermia treatment. The generalized dual-phase-lag model of bioheat transfer is used to describe the behavior of heat transport in tissue in the hyperthermia treatment process for accounting the local non-equilibrium effect. The effects of blood perfusion with the transient temperature are included in the tissue model. The hybrid numerical scheme based on Laplace transform, change of variables, and the modified discretization technique is extended to solve the present problem. The analytical solution for constant heat generation in the inner sphere is presented and evidences the accuracy and rationality of the present numerical results. In an ideal hyperthermia treatment, all the diseased tissues should be selectively heated without affecting any healthy tissue. Attempting to achieve the ideal temperature distribution, the thermal dose is estimated at the specified condition. The corresponding thermal efficacy of tumor damage has also been assessed based on the Arrenius equation.

Background: Cryoablation (cryo) is a local anti-tumor method and activation of immunity is one of its mechanisms, but it is affected by many factors. Numerous studies have proved that combination therapy based on cryo can activate immunity more effectively and synergistically. Cryo combined with chemotherapy(chemo) has been proven to improve the quality of life and prolong survival of tumor patients, but the immune effect is still unclear.

Background And Purpose: Radiotherapy induces tumor cell killing by generating DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). The effectiveness of radiotherapy is significantly influenced by the repair of DSBs, which counteracts this lethal effect. Current investigations are focused on determining whether non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination is the predominant repair pathway following proton and photon radiation.

Infectious bacteria pose an increasing threat to public health, and hospital-acquired bacterial infections remain a significant challenge for wound healing. In this study, we developed an advanced nanoplatform utilizing copper doped magnetic vortex nanoring coated with polydopamine (Cu-MVNp) based nanotherapeutics for bacterial infection tri-therapy. This multifunctional nanoplatform exhibits remarkable dual-stimulus thermogenic capabilities and Fenton-like peroxidase activity.

The basic requirements for the development of radiopharmaceuticals for radionuclide therapy of tumors include marked tumor-specific accumulation and long-term intratumoral retention. We have previously reported an indium-111 (In)-labeled thermoresponsive polymer (polyoxazoline (POZ)) that is soluble at body temperature with rapid clearance from normal tissues but self-aggregates in the tumor upon tumor heating treatment. POZ accumulated in the tumor via self-aggregation under hyperthermic conditions and was retained after stopping heat exposure.
