The tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits a specific feature of hypoxia, which poses significant challenges for oxygen (O)-dependent treatments. In this study, we developed an intelligent nanoplatform (PEGylated AIPH@MSN/CDs-MnO, denoted as A@M/C-Mn) by integrating a photosensitizer of red carbon dots (CDs) with a thermolabile initiator-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticle (AIPH@MSN, denoted as A@M), and then growing manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO NS) in situ and PEGylating the structure to achieve TME-responsive synergistic diagnosis and phototherapy against hypoxic tumors. The outer-layer MnO NS has the capability to decompose endogenous hydrogen peroxide (HO) in the acidic TME, thereby producing O to alleviate hypoxia while releasing Mn.

Microbial keratitis, a sight-threatening corneal infection, remains a significant global health concern. Conventional therapies using antimicrobial agents often suffers from limitations such as poor drug penetration, side effects, and occurrence of drug resistance, with poor prognosis. Novel treatment techniques, with their unique properties and targeted delivery capabilities, offers a promising solution to overcome these challenges.

Near-infrared (NIR) activated photosensitizers based on heavy-atom-free have great advantages in photoimmunotherapy, yet the tumor microenvironment often restricts their efficacy. To address this, a NIR-activated heavy-atom-free photosensitizer (named Cy-BF) is developed. Cy-BF is then encapsulated with phospholipids and platelet exosome vesicles to create platelet exosomes vesicles biomimetic and Cy-BF loaded hybrid liposomes (named CHL) Characterized by high phototoxicity, low dark toxicity, and enhanced tumor targeting, CHL demonstrates aggregation-induced broadening of absorption spectra and NIR (760 nm laser) activates photothermal therapy and type I photodynamic therapy.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) significantly impacts the quality of life, necessitating innovative treatment options beyond conventional approaches. This comprehensive review aimed to evaluate laser therapy as a promising intervention for SUI management. A systematic search was conducted using the keywords "laser" and "stress urinary incontinence" in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases.
