The treatment of subcutaneous abscess caused by drug-resistant bacteria is facing great difficulties and receiving more attention. In this work, we employed BSA-CuS nanoparticles as a photothermal reagent to apply photothermal therapy (PTT) to combat drug-resistant bacteria in vitro and subcutaneous abscess in vivo. The BSA-CuS nanoparticles were found to be stable and biocompatible without cytotoxicity toward NIH3T3 and 4T1 cells. In vitro experiments showed that three species of drug-resistant pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans, could be effectively sterilized under co-incubation with BSA-CuS nanoparticles and then irradiation with 1064 nm NIR laser via tissue penetration. BSA-CuS nanoparticles together with 1064 nm NIR laser irradiation could also effectively diminish subcutaneous abscesses caused by drug-resistant bacteria on mice under PTT and depth PTT without causing any serious side effects and organic damage in vivo.That is OK, thank you!

The oxidative stress is a state of imbalance in the body's oxidative balance, which can cause or worsen many diseases. Several studies have focused on the direct scavenging of free radicals, however, the strategy of precisely controlling antioxidant activities remotely and spatiotemporally has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a method inspired by the albumin-triggered biomineralization process with polyphenol-assisted strategy to prepare nanoparticles (TA-BSA@CuS) with NIR-II-targeted photo-enhanced antioxidant capacity.

Thyroid cancer, as one of the most common endocrine cancers, has seen a surge in incidence in recent years. This is most likely due to the lack of specificity and accuracy of its traditional diagnostic modalities, leading to the overdiagnosis of thyroid nodules. Although there are several treatment options available, they are limited to surgery and I radiation therapy that come with significant side effects and hence cannot meet the treatment needs of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma with very high malignancy.

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been employed as a mild biological template in nanoscale particles. Copper sulfide (CuS) has been used for photothermal therapy (PTT) in several studies. In this study, we aimed to synthesize the I-labeled BSA-modified CuS nanoparticles ( I-BSA@CuS), with attributes of both radiotherapy and PTT, as a therapeutic agent against anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC).

Objective: To investigate the anti-tumor effect of BSA@CuS-PEG nanocomposites on tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Methods: Transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, Zeta potential and ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy were used to characterize the synthesized BSA@CuS-PEG nanocomposite, whose photothermal properties was assessed with near infrared Ⅱ region excitation light (1064 nm). The cytotoxicity of the nanocomposite in Cal27 and SCC9 cells was evaluated using CCK-8 assay, and its effect on cell cycle distribution was analyzed using flow cytometry.
