Bioengineering autologous cartilage grafts for functional posterior lamellar eyelid reconstruction: A preliminary study in rabbits.

The reconstruction of posterior lamellar eyelid defects remains a significant challenge in clinical practice due to anatomical complexity, specialized function, and aesthetic concerns. The ideal substitute for the posterior lamellar should replicate the native tarsoconjunctival tissue, providing both mechanical support for the eyelids and a smooth surface for the globe after implantation. In this study, we present an innovative approach utilizing tissue-engineered cartilage (TEC) grafts generated from rabbit auricular chondrocytes and a commercialized type I collagen sponge to reconstruct critical-sized posterior lamellar defects in rabbits. The TEC grafts demonstrated remarkable mechanical strength and maintained a stable cartilaginous phenotype both in vitro and at 6 months post-implantation in immunodeficient mice. When employed as autografts to reconstruct tarsal plate defects in rabbits' upper eyelids, these TEC grafts successfully restored normal eyelid morphology, facilitated smooth eyelid movement, and preserved the histological structure of the conjunctival epithelium. When applied in bilayered tarsoconjunctival defect reconstruction, these TEC grafts not only maintained the normal contour of the upper eyelid but also supported conjunctival epithelial cell migration and growth from the defect margin towards the centre. These findings highlight that auricular chondrocyte-based TEC grafts hold great promise as potential candidates for clinical posterior lamellar reconstruction. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The complex structure and function of the posterior lamellar eyelid continue to be significant challenges for clinical reconstructive surgeries. In this study, we utilized autologous auricular chondrocyte-based TEC grafts for posterior lamellar eyelid reconstruction in a preclinical rabbit model. The TEC grafts exhibited native cartilaginous histomorphology and comparable mechanical strength to those of the native human tarsal plate. In rabbit models with either tarsal plate defects alone or bilayered tarsoconjunctival defects, TEC grafts successfully restored the normal eyelid contour and movement, as well as supported preservation and growth of conjunctival epithelium. This is the first study to demonstrate autologous TEC grafts can be employed for repairing tarsal plate defects, thereby offering an alternative therapeutic approach for treating posterior lamellar defects in clinic settings.

Quaternary ammonium cations conjugated 5,15-diaryltetranaphtho[2,3]porphyrins as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy.

In quest for new photosensitizers (PSs) with remarkable antitumor photodynamic efficacy, a series of fifteen quaternary ammonium (QA) cations conjugated 5,15-diaryltetranaphtho[2,3]porphyrins (Ar2TNPs) was synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo to understand how variations in the length of the alkoxy group and the kind of QA cations on meso-phenyl influence the photodynamic antitumor activity. All final compounds (I1-5, II1-5, and III1-5) exhibited robust absorption at 729 nm with significant bathochromic shift and high molar extinction coefficients (1.16 × 105-1.41 × 105 M-1 cm-1), as well as other absorptions at 445, 475, 651, and 714 nm for tumors and other diseases of diverse sizes and depths. Upon exposure to 474 nm light, they displayed intense fluorescence emission with fluorescence quantum yields ranging from 0.32 to 0.43. The ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) was also quantified, attaining a maximum rate of up to 0.0961 s-1. The IC50 values of all the compounds regarding phototoxicity and dark toxicity were determined using KYSE-150 cells, and the phototoxicity indices were calculated. Among these compounds, III1 demonstrated the highest phototoxic index with minimal dark toxicity, and suppressed successfully the growth of esophageal carcinoma xenograft with favorable tolerance in vivo. Furthermore, the histological results showed III1-mediated PDT had a significant cytotoxic effect on the tumor. These outcomes underscore the potential of III1 as a highly effective antitumor photosensitizer drug in photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Tumor fluorescence and oxygenation monitoring during photodynamic therapy with chlorin e6 photosensitizer.

BACKGROUND: The study is aimed at developing a method for monitoring photodynamic therapy (PDT) of a tumor using chlorin-type photosensitizers (PSs). Lack of monitoring of chlorin e6 (Cе6) photobleaching, hemoglobin oxygenation and blood flow during light exposure can limit the PDT effectiveness. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Phototheranostics includes spectral-fluorescence diagnostics of Ce6 distribution in the NIR range and PDT with simultaneous assessment of hemoglobin oxygenation and tumor blood flow. Fluorescence diagnostics and PDT were performed using the single laser λexc=660 ± 5 nm. RESULTS: Combined spectroscopic PDT monitoring method allowed simultaneous estimation of Ce6 photobleaching, hemoglobin oxygenation and tumor vascular thrombosis during PDT without interrupting the therapeutic light exposure. CONCLUSION: The developed method of tumor phototheranostics using chlorin-type PSs may make it possible to personalize the duration of therapeutic light exposure during PDT.

Bioengineering and vascularization strategies for islet organoids: advancing toward diabetes therapy.

Diabetes presents a pressing healthcare crisis, necessitating innovative solutions. Organoid technologies have rapidly advanced, leading to the emergence of bioengineering islet organoids as an unlimited source of insulin-producing cells for treating insulin-dependent diabetes. This advancement surpasses the need for cadaveric islet transplantation. However, clinical translation of this approach faces two major limitations: immature endocrine function and the absence of a perfusable vasculature compared to primary human islets. In this review, we summarize the latest developments in bioengineering functional islet organoids in vitro and promoting vascularization of organoid grafts before and after transplantation. We highlight the crucial roles of the vasculature in ensuring long-term survival, maturation, and functionality of islet organoids. Additionally, we discuss key considerations that must be addressed before clinical translation of islet organoid-based therapy, including functional immaturity, undesired heterogeneity, and potential tumorigenic risks.

Methylene blue in anticancer photodynamic therapy: systematic review of preclinical studies.

Background: Methylene blue has a long history of clinical application. Thanks to phenothiazine chromophore, it has potential in photodynamic anticancer therapy. In spite of the growing body of literature that has evaluated the action of this dye on different types of cancer, the systematic understanding of this problem is still lacking. Therefore, this systematic review was performed to study the efficacy of methylene blue in photodynamic anticancer therapy. Methods: This systematic review was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, and the study protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022368738). Articles for the systematic review were identified through the PubMed database. SYRCLE's risk of bias tool was used to assess the studies. The results of systematic analysis are presented as narrative synthesis. Results: Ten studies met the inclusion criteria and these full texts were reviewed. In the selected articles, the dosage of dye infusion ranged from 0.04 to 24.12 mg/kg. The effectiveness of photodynamic therapy with methylene blue against different types of cancer was confirmed by a decrease in tumor sizes in seven articles. Conclusion: The results of the systematic review support the suggestions that photodynamic therapy with methylene blue helps against different types of cancer, including colorectal tumor, carcinoma, and melanoma. In cases of nanopharmaceutics use, a considerable increase of anticancer therapy effectiveness was observed. The further research into methylene blue in photodynamic anticancer therapy is needed.

Surface Topography of PLA Implants Defines the Outcome of Foreign Body Reaction: An In Vivo Study.

The formation of a dense fibrous capsule around the foreign body and its contracture is the most common complication of biomaterial implantation. The aim of our research is to find out how the surface of the implant influences the inflammatory and fibrotic reactions in the surrounding tissues. We made three types of implants with a remote surface topography formed of polylactide granules with different diameters: large (100-200 µm), medium (56-100 µm) and small (1-56 µm). We placed these implants in skin pockets in the ears of six chinchilla rabbits. We explanted the implants on the 7th, 14th, 30th and 60th days and performed optical coherence tomography, and histological, immunohistochemical and morphometric studies. We examined 72 samples and compared the composition of immune cell infiltration, vascularization, the thickness of the peri-implant tissues, the severity of fibrotic processes and α-SMA expression in myofibroblasts. We analyzed the scattering coefficient of tissue layers on OCT scans. We found that implants made from large granules induced a milder inflammatory process and slower formation of a connective tissue capsule around the foreign body. Our results prove the importance of assessing the surface texture in order to avoid the formation of capsular contracture after implantation.

Diagnostic Value of Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) of the Pelvic Floor in Genital Prolapses.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a chronic disease resulting from a weakening of the musculoskeletal apparatus of the pelvic organs. For the diagnosis of this pathology, it is insufficient to conduct only a clinical examination. An effective diagnostic tool is the method of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvic floor, which allows a comprehensive assessment of the anatomical and functional characteristics of the walls of the pelvis and pelvic organs. The aim of the study was to analyze the literature data on the possibilities and limitations of using dynamic MRI in pelvic organ prolapse. The widespread use of the dynamic MRI method is due to the high quality of the resulting image, good reproducibility, and the maximum ability to display the characteristics of the pelvic floor. Dynamic MRI of the small pelvis allows a comprehensive assessment of the anatomical and functional features of the pelvis, excluding the effect of ionizing radiation on the body. The method is characterized by good visualization with high resolution and excellent soft tissue contrast. The method allows for assessing the state of the evacuation function of visualized structures in dynamics. Simultaneous imaging of all three parts of the pelvic floor using dynamic MRI makes it possible to assess multicompartment disorders. The anatomical characteristics of the state of the pelvic organs in the norm and in the event of prolapse are considered. The technique for performing the method and the procedure for analyzing the resulting images are described. The possibilities of diagnosing a multicomponent lesion are considered, while it is noted that dynamic MRI of the pelvic organs provides visualization and functional analysis of all three parts of the pelvis and often allows the choice and correction of tactics for the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. It is noted that dynamic MRI is characterized by a high resolution of the obtained images, and the advantage of the method is the ability to detect functional changes accompanying the pathology of the pelvic floor.

Metabolomics of head and neck cancer in biofluids: an integrative systematic review.

INTRODUCTION: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the fifth most common cancer globally. Diagnosis at early stages are critical to reduce mortality and improve functional and esthetic outcomes associated with HNC. Metabolomics is a promising approach for discovery of biomarkers and metabolic pathways for risk assessment and early detection of HNC. OBJECTIVES: To summarize and consolidate the available evidence on metabolomics and HNC in plasma/serum, saliva, and urine. METHODS: A systematic search of experimental research was executed using PubMed and Web of Science. Available data on areas under the curve was extracted. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis were performed to identify metabolic pathways altered in HNC. Fifty-four studies were eligible for data extraction (33 performed in plasma/serum, 15 in saliva and 6 in urine). RESULTS: Metabolites with high discriminatory performance for detection of HNC included single metabolites and combination panels of several lysoPCs, pyroglutamate, glutamic acid, glucose, tartronic acid, arachidonic acid, norvaline, linoleic acid, propionate, acetone, acetate, choline, glutamate and others. The glucose-alanine cycle and the urea cycle were the most altered pathways in HNC, among other pathways (i.e. gluconeogenesis, glycine and serine metabolism, alanine metabolism, etc.). Specific metabolites that can potentially serve as complementary less- or non-invasive biomarkers, as well as metabolic pathways integrating the data from the available studies, are presented. CONCLUSION: The present work highlights utility of metabolite-based biomarkers for risk assessment, early detection, and prognostication of HNC, as well as facilitates incorporation of available metabolomics studies into multi-omics data integration and big data analytics for personalized health.

Novel Perspectives on Nanotechnological and Biomedical Implications of Monotherapy or Combination Regimen of Lactoferrin.

Lactoferrin (LF) is a protein molecule with a wide variety of physiological properties. LF has broadspectrum antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and antitumor, and possesses immunomodulatory properties to regulate immunity and gastrointestinal function. The main aim of this review is to explore the recent investigations on the functional role of LF against several human disorders and diseases through monotherapy or combinatorial regimens with other biological/chemotherapeutic agents through novel nanoformulations. We significantly searched public databases such as Pubmed, National Library of Medicine, relemed, Scopus and collected published reports pertaining to these recent reports on lactoferrin as a monotherapy or combination therapy, and its nanoformulations. We have discussed vividly the role of LF as a growth factor with substantial potential that can promote cell growth and regeneration potential for repairing tissues such as bone, skin, mucosa, and tendons. In addition, we have discussed novel perspectives on the role of LF as an inductive factor for the proliferation of stem cells in tissue recovery and discussed its novel modulating effects in ameliorating cancer and microbial growth through several signaling cascades via monotherapy or combinatorial regimens. Furthermore, the regeneration potential of this protein is reviewed to explore the efficacy and prospects of new treatment methods. This review benefits various microbiologists, stem cell therapists, and oncologists to explore the efficacy of LF in several segments of medicine by examining its ability as a stem cell differentiation factor, and anticancer agent or antimicrobial agent through novel formulations in preclinical or clinical study.

COVID-19-The Shift of Homeostasis into Oncopathology or Chronic Fibrosis in Terms of Female Reproductive System Involvement.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus remains a global public health concern due to the systemic nature of the infection and its long-term consequences, many of which remain to be elucidated. SARS-CoV-2 targets endothelial cells and blood vessels, altering the tissue microenvironment, its secretion, immune-cell subpopulations, the extracellular matrix, and the molecular composition and mechanical properties. The female reproductive system has high regenerative potential, but can accumulate damage, including due to SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 is profibrotic and can change the tissue microenvironment toward an oncogenic niche. This makes COVID-19 and its consequences one of the potential regulators of a homeostasis shift toward oncopathology and fibrosis in the tissues of the female reproductive system. We are looking at SARS-CoV-2-induced changes at all levels in the female reproductive system.

Near-infrared phototheranostics of tumors with protoporphyrin IX and chlorin e6 photosensitizers.

BACKGROUND: The study aims to develop a method for phototheranostics of tumors in the near-infrared (NIR) range using protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) photosensitizers (PSs) MATERIALS AND METHODS: Phototheranostics includes spectral fluorescence diagnostics of PS distribution and photodynamic therapy (PDT) using a single laser in the red spectral range. PpIX and Ce6 fluorescence were registered in the NIR range. PpIX and Ce6 photobleaching was determined during PDT by the change in PS fluorescence. NIR phototheranostics with PpIX and Ce6 were performed on optical phantoms and tumors of patients with oral leukoplakia and basal cell carcinoma. RESULTS: NIR spectral fluorescence diagnostics of optical phantoms with PpIX or Ce6 is possible when fluorescence is excited by 635 or 660 nm lasers. Fluorescence intensity of PpIX and Ce6 was measured in the range of 725-780 nm. The highest values of signal-to-noise in the case of phantoms with PpIX were observed at λexc=635 nm, and for phantoms with Ce6 at λexc=660 nm. NIR phototheranostics provides the detection of tumor tissues with PpIX or Ce6 accumulation. The PSs photobleaching in the tumor during PDT occurs according to a bi-exponential law. CONCLUSION: Phototheranostics of tumors containing PpIX or Ce6 allows fluorescent monitoring of PS distribution in the NIR range and measuring PSs photobleaching during light exposure that provides personalization of the photodynamic exposure duration to deeper tumors. Using a single laser for fluorescence diagnostics and PDT reduces patient treatment time.

Prospects for the use of olfactory mucosa cells in bioprinting for the treatment of spinal cord injuries.

The review focuses on the most important areas of cell therapy for spinal cord injuries. Olfactory mucosa cells are promising for transplantation. Obtaining these cells is safe for patients. The use of olfactory mucosa cells is effective in restoring motor function due to the remyelination and regeneration of axons after spinal cord injuries. These cells express neurotrophic factors that play an important role in the functional recovery of nerve tissue after spinal cord injuries. In addition, it is possible to increase the content of neurotrophic factors, at the site of injury, exogenously by the direct injection of neurotrophic factors or their delivery using gene therapy. The advantages of olfactory mucosa cells, in combination with neurotrophic factors, open up wide possibilities for their application in three-dimensional and four-dimensional bioprinting technology treating spinal cord injuries.

Feasibility test of a sapphire cryoprobe with optical monitoring of tissue freezing.

This article describes a sapphire cryoprobe as a promising solution to the significant problem of modern cryosurgery that is the monitoring of tissue freezing. This probe consists of a sapphire rod manufactured by the edge-defined film-fed growth technique from Al2 O3 melt and optical fibers accommodated inside the rod and connected to the source and the detector. The probe's design enables detection of spatially resolved diffuse reflected intensities of tissue optical response, which are used for the estimation of tissue freezing depth. The current type of the 12.5-mm diameter sapphire probe cooled down by the liquid nitrogen assumes a superficial cryoablation. The experimental test made by using a gelatin-intralipid tissue phantom shows the feasibility of such concept, revealing the capabilities of monitoring the freezing depth up to 10 mm by the particular instrumentation realization of the probe. This justifies a potential of sapphire-based instruments aided by optical diagnosis in modern cryosurgery.

Analysis of the Results of Severe Intraepithelial Squamous Cell Lesions and Preinvasive Cervical Cancer Phototheranostics in Women of Reproductive Age.

(1) Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of using PDT in the treatment of severe intraepithelial squamous lesions of the cervix and preinvasive cervical cancer associated with HPV in women of reproductive age. (2) Methods: The examination and treatment of 45 patients aged 22-49 years with morphologically confirmed HPV-associated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of a severe degree (17 patients) and preinvasive cervical cancer (28 patients) were performed. All patients underwent PDT of the cervix using a chlorin e6 photosensitizer; after which, the affected areas of the cervix were evaluated using video and spectral fluorescence diagnostics. PDT effectiveness was assessed on the basis of colposcopy data, a cytological examination of exo- and endocervix and PAP test scrapings or the liquid cytology method, and polymerase chain reaction for HPV carriage 4 weeks after PDT, as well as on the basis of histological and immunohistochemical studies of biopsy materials 5 weeks after PDT. The expression levels of the Ki-67 and p16 markers in the affected areas of the cervix were also assessed. (3) Results. All patients included in the study tolerated the intravenous administration of the photosensitizer well, with no side effects or allergic reactions observed. In 88.2% of patients with CIN III/HSIL and in 85.7% of women with preinvasive cervical cancer, the effect of the treatment was noted after the first PDT procedure, while complete regression of the dysplasia foci was observed in 15 women (88.2%) with CIN III/HSIL and in 25 patients (89.3%) with preinvasive cervical cancer. Partial regression to the form of LSIL/CIN I was noted in two cases (11.8%) in the CIN III/HSIL group and in three cases (10.7%) in the group of patients with preinvasive cervical cancer. After PDT, a statistically significant decrease in the expression of the Ki-67 and p16 levels relative to the initial values was noted. (4) Conclusions. The results obtained indicate the high efficiency of PDT with intravenous administration of the chlorin photosensitizer for the treatment of intraepithelial lesions of the cervix with a selective effect on pathologically altered tissue. The use of this approach makes it possible to preserve the normal anatomical and functional characteristics of the cervix, which is especially important for maintaining the fertility of patients.

Imaging Hallmarks of Sarcoma Progression Via X-ray Computed Tomography: Beholding the Flower of Evil.

Sarcomas are a leading cause of cancer death in individuals younger than 20 years of age and represent the largest group of rare solid tumors. To date, more than 100 morphological subtypes of sarcomas have been described, among which epidemiology, clinical features, management, and prognosis differ significantly. Delays and errors in the diagnosis of sarcomas limit the number of effective therapeutic modalities and catastrophically worsen the prognosis. Therefore, the development of an algorithm for the early accurate diagnosis of sarcomas seems to be as important as the development of novel therapeutic advances. This literature review aims to summarize the results of recent investigations regarding the imaging of sarcoma progression based on the use of X-ray computed tomography (CT) in preclinical studies and in current clinical practice through the lens of cancer hallmarks. We attempted to summarize the main CT imaging features of soft-tissue and bone sarcomas. We noted the development of new molecular markers with high specificity to antibodies and chemokines, which are expressed in particular sarcoma subtypes to reach tumor type-specific imaging. We demonstrate the possibility of the use of X-ray computed microtomography (micro-CT) for non-destructive 3D visualization of solid tumors by increasing the visibility of soft tissues with X-ray scattering agents. Based on the results of recent studies, we hypothesize that micro-CT enables the visualization of neovascularization and stroma formation in sarcomas at high-resolution in vivo and ex vivo, including the novel techniques of whole-block and whole-tissue imaging. Finding correlations between CT, PET/CT, and micro-CT imaging features, the results of the histopathological specimen examination and clinical outcomes may significantly increase the accuracy of soft-tissue and bone tumor diagnostics, which leads to the initiation of appropriate histotype-specific management in a timely manner and, consequently, to improved outcomes.

Advances in the Prevention and Treatment of Obesity-Driven Effects in Breast Cancers.

Obesity and associated chronic inflammation were shown to facilitate breast cancer (BC) growth and metastasis. Leptin, adiponectin, estrogen, and several pro-inflammatory cytokines are involved in the development of obesity-driven BC through the activation of multiple oncogenic and pro-inflammatory pathways. The aim of this study was to assess the reported mechanisms of obesity-induced breast carcinogenesis and effectiveness of conventional and complementary BC therapies. We screened published original articles, reviews, and meta-analyses that addressed the involvement of obesity-related signaling mechanisms in BC development, BC treatment/prevention approaches, and posttreatment complications. PubMed, Medline, eMedicine, National Library of Medicine (NLM), and ReleMed databases were used to retrieve relevant studies using a set of keywords, including "obesity," "oncogenic signaling pathways," "inflammation," "surgery," "radiotherapy," "conventional therapies," and "diet." Multiple studies indicated that effective BC treatment requires the involvement of diet- and exercise-based approaches in obese postmenopausal women. Furthermore, active lifestyle and diet-related interventions improved the patients' overall quality of life and minimized adverse side effects after traditional BC treatment, including postsurgical lymphedema, post-chemo nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Further investigation of beneficial effects of diet and physical activity may help improve obesity-linked cancer therapies.

Models of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using bioengineering approaches.

The use of bioengineering methods and approaches is extremely promising for the development of experimental models of cancer, especially head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) that are characterized by early metastasis and rapid progression., for testing novel anticancer drugs and diagnostics. This review summarizes the most relevant HNSCC tumor models used to this day as well as future directions for improved modeling of the malignant disease. Apart from conventional 2D-cell cultivation methods and in vivo animal cancer models a number of bioengineering techniques of modeling HNSCC tumors were reported: genetic-engineering, ethanol/tobacco exposure experiment, spheroids, hydrogel-based cell culture, scaffold-based cell culture, microfluidics, bone-tumor niche cell culture, cancer and normal cells co-culture, cancer cells, and bacteria co-culture. An organized set of these models can constitute a system of HNSCC experimental modeling, which gives potential towards developing the newest approaches in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of HNSCC.

A method for intra-percardial PDT for malignant mesothelioma.

We describe a case of a 35-year-old patient with recurrent non-resectable pleural mesothelioma cT4N0M0 with a confirmed malignant pericardial effusion, threatening for cardiac tamponade. We performed and described our experience of intrapericardial photodynamic therapy which was well tolerated and with a good survival result. After 12 months of follow-up our patient showed no signs of pericardial effusion and in stable condition, keeping high level of quality of life. This clinical case is an example of the excellent palliative effect of photodynamic therapy together with concomitant immunotherapy.

Phototheranostics of Cervical Neoplasms with Chlorin e6 Photosensitizer.

(1) Purpose: Improving the treatment effectiveness of intraepithelial neoplasia of the cervix associated with human papillomavirus infection, based on the application of the method of photodynamic therapy with simultaneous laser excitation of fluorescence to clarify the boundaries of cervical neoplasms. (2) Methods: Examination and treatment of 52 patients aged 22 to 53 years with morphologically and cytologically confirmed mild to severe intraepithelial cervix neoplasia, preinvasive, micro-invasive, and squamous cell cervix carcinoma. All patients were carriers of human papillomavirus infection. The patients underwent photodynamic therapy with simultaneous laser excitation of fluorescence. The combined use of video and spectral fluorescence diagnostics for cervical neoplasms made it possible to control the photodynamic therapy process at all stages of the procedure. Evaluation of the photodynamic therapy of intraepithelial cervical neoplasms was carried out with colposcopic examination, cytological conclusion, and morphological verification of the biopsy material after the photodynamic therapy course. The success of human papillomavirus therapy was assessed based on the results of the polymerase chain reaction. (3) Results. The possibility of simultaneous spectral fluorescence diagnostics and photodynamic therapy using a laser source with a wavelength of 660 nm has been established, making it possible to assess the fluorescence index in real-time and control the photobleaching of photosensitizers in the irradiated area. The treatment of all 52 patients was successful after the first photodynamic therapy procedure. According to the PCR test of the discharge from the cervical canal, the previously identified HPV types were not observed in 48 patients. Previously identified HPV types were absent after repeated PDT in four patients (CIN III (n = 2), CIS (n = 2)). In 80.8% of patients, regression of the lesion was noted. (4) Conclusions. The high efficiency of photodynamic therapy with intravenous photosensitizer administration of chlorin e6 has been demonstrated both in relation to eradication therapy of human papillomavirus and in relation to the treatment of intraepithelial lesions of the cervix.
