Objective: Conventional second window indocyanine green (SWIG) technique has been widely attempted in near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging for intraoperative navigation of tumor radical resection. Nevertheless, the overuse of indocyanine green (ICG) led to an increased risk of drug lethal allergy and high medical cost. This prospective study was to explore clinical application of modified low-dose SWIG technique in guiding dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSPs) radical resection.
Method: Patients with DFSPs were randomly assigned to control and experimental group. The ICG was injected intravenously 24 h before surgery, at a dose of 3.5 mg/kg in the control group and 25 mg/patient in the experiment group, respectively. Intraoperative NIRF imaging included serial views of gross tumor, tumor bed and cross-sectional specimen.
Results: Although NIRF imaging of gross tumor and tumor bed in the experimental group demonstrated similar sensitivity and negative predictive value, the specificity and positive predictive value were obviously higher compared to control group. The tumor-to-background ratios of cross-sectional specimens in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group ( = 0.000). Data in both groups displayed that there was a positive correlation of tumor size in cross-sections between integrated histopathologic photomicrographs and NIRF imaging of specimen views ( = 0.000). NIRF imaging of cross-sectional specimens had a significant decrease in time cost, and an increase in the ability of examining more surgical margins ( = 0.000).
Conclusion: This is the first study to demonstrate that a low-dose SWIG technique could improve the accuracy of near-infrared fluorescence image-guided dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans resection. ChiCTR2100050174; date of registration: August 18, 2021 followed by "retrospectively registered".

Molecular imaging has significantly advanced the detection and analysis of in vivo metabolic processes, while single-modal techniques remain limited. Dual-modal imaging, particularly positron emission tomography (PET)-based combinations has emerged as a powerful solution, offering enhanced capabilities through integration with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging. This review highlights recent progress in PET-based dual-modal imaging, focusing on the development of various bimodal probes derived from antibodies, nanoparticles, and peptides, and key applications including image-guided surgery and disease assessment.

Early diagnosis of tumors allows effective treatment of primary cancers through localized therapeutic interventions. However, developing diagnostic tools for sensitive, simple, and early tumor (especially less than 2 mm in diameter) detection remains a challenge. Herein, we presented a biomarker-activatable nanoprobe that enabled a near-infrared (NIR) photothermally amplified signal for fluorescence imaging and urinalysis of tumor.

Hypochlorous acid can be employed as a biomarker for blood infection (such as sepsis) and tissue damage (such as drug-induced liver injury, DILI), and the diagnosis of tissue damage or blood infection can be achieved through the detection of hypochlorous acid in relevant biological samples. Considering the complex environment and the diverse interferences in living organisms and blood plasma, developing new detection methods for HClO with high signal-to-background ratios is particularly important, and it can improve the accuracy of detection and quality of imaging based on a higher contrast, which makes the detection of HClO clearer and more accurate. Here, based on the advantages of the NIR fluorescence/photoacoustic dual-modal probe, we reported a hypochlorous acid-activatable NIR fluorescence/photoacoustic dual-modal probe (NIRF-PA-HClO) based on the spirolactam ring-opening strategy in this paper.

Cervical cancer, the most common gynecological malignancy, significantly and adversely affects women's physical health and well-being. Traditional surgical interventions and chemotherapy, while potentially effective, often entail serious side effects that have led to an urgent need for novel therapeutic methods. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising approach due to its ability to minimize damage to healthy tissue.

Background: Currently, there is limited scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of fluorescent cholangiography in emergency cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. The primary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography (NIRF-C) in different severity degrees of acute cholecystitis.
Materials And Methods: Inclusion criteria were patients with a clinical and radiological (abdominal ultrasound and/or computed tomography) diagnosis of acute cholecystitis based on the revised 2018 Tokyo guidelines who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 24-72 h from the onset of symptoms and patients with ASA score of 0-3.
