Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic neglected fungal disease that causes serious damage to the physical and mental health of patients. 5-Aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) has garnered significant attention in the recent era for the treatment of CBM and has exhibited promising effects in several clinical case reports. We established a mice footpad infection model with and analyzed the impact of PDT treatment on the immune response of macrophages using single-cell sequencing.

Introduction: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin malignancy, accounting for approximately 80% of all non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs). Ultraviolet (UV) exposure is a significant risk factor for BCC development, which typically occurs in sun-exposed areas. BCC arising in non-sun-exposed regions, such as the nipple-areola complex (NAC), is exceedingly rare, with fewer than 100 cases reported globally.

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).

MILs (Materials Institute Lavoisier), as nanocarriers based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are one of the most advanced drug delivery vehicles that are now a major part of cancer treatment research. This review article highlights the key features and components of MIL nanocarriers for the development and improvement of these nanocarriers for drug delivery. Surface coatings are one of the key components of MIL nanocarriers, which play the role of stabilizing the nanocarrier, pH-dependent drug release, increasing the half-life of the drug, and targeting the carrier.
