Purpose: Chemotherapy mediated by Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive drug delivery systems can potentially mitigate the toxic side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs and significantly enhance their therapeutic efficacy. However, achieving precise targeted drug delivery and real-time control of ROS-responsive drug release at tumor sites remains a formidable challenge. Therefore, this study aimed to describe a ROS-responsive drug delivery system with specific tumor targeting capabilities for mitigating chemotherapy-induced toxicity while enhancing therapeutic efficacy under guidance of Fluorescence (FL) and Magnetic resonance (MR) bimodal imaging. Methods: Indocyanine green (ICG), Doxorubicin (DOX) prodrug pB-DOX and Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO, Fe3O4) were encapsulated in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) by double emulsification method to prepare ICG/ pB-DOX/ Fe3O4/ PLGA nanoparticles (IBFP NPs). The surface of IBFP NPs was functionalized with mammaglobin antibodies (mAbs) by carbodiimide method to construct the breast cancer-targeting mAbs/ IBFP NPs (MIBFP NPs). Thereafter, FL and MR bimodal imaging ability of MIBFP NPs was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Finally, the combined photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemotherapy efficacy evaluation based on MIBFP NPs was studied. Results: The multifunctional MIBFP NPs exhibited significant targeting efficacy for breast cancer. FL and MR bimodal imaging clearly displayed the distribution of the targeting MIBFP NPs in vivo. Upon near-infrared laser irradiation, the MIBFP NPs loaded with ICG effectively generated ROS for PDT, enabling precise tumor ablation. Simultaneously, it triggered activation of the pB-DOX by cleaving its sensitive moiety, thereby restoring DOX activity and achieving ROS-responsive targeted chemotherapy. Furthermore, the MIBFP NPs combined PDT and chemotherapy to enhance the efficiency of tumor ablation under guidance of bimodal imaging. Conclusion: MIBFP NPs constitute a novel dual-modality imaging-guided drug delivery system for targeted breast cancer therapy and offer precise and controlled combined treatment options.

Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a highly invasive and prognostically challenging brain cancer, poses a significant hurdle for current treatments due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the difficulty to maintain an effective drug accumulation in deep GBM lesions. Methods: We present a biomimetic nanoplatform with angiopep-2-modified macrophage membrane, loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) templated self-assembly of SN38 (AM-NP), facilitating active tumor targeting and effective blood-brain barrier penetration through specific ligand-receptor interaction. Results: Upon accumulation at tumor sites, these nanoparticles achieved high drug concentrations. Subsequent combination of laser irradiation and release of chemotherapy agent SN38 induced a synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy. Compared to bare nanoparticles (NPs) lacking cell membrane encapsulation, AM-NPs significantly suppressed tumor growth, markedly enhanced survival rates, and exhibited excellent biocompatibility with minimal side effects. Conclusion: This NIR-activatable biomimetic camouflaging macrophage membrane-based nanoparticles enhanced drug delivery targeting ability through modifications of macrophage membranes and specific ligands. It simultaneously achieved synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy, enhancing treatment effectiveness. Compared to traditional treatment modalities, it provided a precise, efficient, and synergistic method that might have contributed to advancements in glioblastoma therapy.

BACKGROUND: Elevated interstitial fluid pressure within tumors, resulting from impaired lymphatic drainage, constitutes a critical barrier to effective drug penetration and therapeutic outcomes. RESULTS: In this study, based on the photosynthetic characteristics of algae, an active drug carrier (CP@ICG) derived from Chlorella pyrenoidosa (CP) was designed and constructed. Leveraging the hypoxia tropism and phototropism exhibited by CP, we achieved targeted transport of the carrier to tumor sites. Additionally, dual near-infrared (NIR) irradiation at the tumor site facilitated photosynthesis in CP, enabling the breakdown of excessive intratumoral interstitial fluid by generating oxygen from water decomposition. This process effectively reduced the interstitial pressure, thereby promoting enhanced perfusion of blood into the tumor, significantly improving deep-seated penetration of chemotherapeutic agents, and alleviating tumor hypoxia. CONCLUSIONS: CP@ICG demonstrated a combined effect of photothermal/photodynamic/starvation therapy, exhibiting excellent in vitro/in vivo anti-tumor efficacy and favorable biocompatibility. This work provides a scientific foundation for the application of microbial-enhanced intratumoral drug delivery and tumor therapy.

BACKGROUND: Indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test is a classical measurement of hepatic reserve, which involves surgical safety and patient recovery of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The authors aim to compare effects of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on liver function and outcomes of subsequent hepatectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: HCC patients receiving HAIC/TACE in SYSUCC with repeated ICG clearance tests were retrospectively enrolled. ICG eliminating rate (ICG-K), ICG retention rate at 15 min (ICG-R15) and ordinary laboratory tests were collected. Peri-therapeutic changes of values were compared between the groups. Propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probability of treatment weighing (IPTW) were employed to validate findings. Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were analyzed in patients with subsequent curative hepatectomy. RESULTS: Two hundred and four patients treated with HAIC ( n =130) and TACE ( n =74) were included. ΔICG-R15 was greater in the HAIC arm before matching (mean, 3.8% vs. 0.7%, P <0.001), after PSM (mean, 4.7% vs. 1.1%, P =0.014) and IPTW (mean, 2.0% vs. -3.6%, P <0.001). No difference was found for ΔALB, ΔALBI, ΔTBIL, ΔALT, ΔAST and ΔPT-INR. Multivariable analyses revealed elder age, cirrhosis, HAIC, greater ΔTBIL and ΔALBI were associated with deteriorating ICG-R15. Among those (105 for HAIC and 48 for TACE) receiving hepatectomy, occurrence of grade B/C PHLF (4.8% vs. 8.3%, P =0.616), OS (median, unreached vs. unreached, P =0.94) and RFS (median, 26.7 vs. 17.1 months, P =0.096) were comparable between the two arms. In subgroup analyses, preoperative HAIC yield superior RFS (median, 26.7 vs. 16.2 months, P =0.042) in patients with baseline ICG-R15 less than or equal to 10%. CONCLUSION: Preoperative FOLFOX-HAIC caused apparent impairment of ICG clearance ability than TACE yet comparable impact on liver function and post-hepatectomy outcomes.

Pudexacianinium (ASP5354) chloride is an indocyanine green derivative designed to enable enhanced ureter visualization during surgery. The objective of the present analysis was to determine appropriate doses of pudexacianinium for a phase 2, dose-ranging study (NCT04238481). Real-time urine pudexacianinium concentration is considered a good pharmacodynamic surrogate marker, since ureter visualization likely depends on its concentration in the ureter. Using plasma and urine concentrations of pudexacianinium from a phase 1 single-ascending-dose (0.1-24.0 mg) study in healthy participants, a 3-compartment population pharmacokinetic model with a urine output compartment was developed and effectively described the concentration-time profiles. The individual estimated glomerular filtration rates had a significant impact on drug clearance. Simulations suggested that a 1.0 mg intravenous injection would achieve target urine concentrations over 1 µg/mL (determined from previous nonclinical studies) for 3 hours postdose, assuming a urine production rate of 1.0 mL/min. Based on this simulation, doses of 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 mg were proposed for the phase 2 study. The observed plasma concentrations were generally consistent with model predictions. For urine, although only limited data could be obtained due to the difficulties of spot urine collection from surgical patients, intraoperative ureter visualization was successful at 1.0 and 3.0 mg.

SIGNIFICANCE: Dynamic diffuse fluorescence tomography (DFT) can recover the static distribution of fluorophores and track dynamic temporal events related to physiological and disease progression. Dynamic imaging indocyanine green (ICG) approved by the food and drug administration is still under-exploited because of its characteristics of low quantum yield and relatively rapid tissue metabolism. AIM: In order to acquire the ICG tomographic image sequences for pharmacokinetic analysis, a dynamic DFT system was proposed. APPROACH: A fiber-based dynamic DFT system adopts square-wave modulation lock-in photon-counting scheme and series-parallel measurement mode, which possesses high sensitivity, large dynamic range, high anti-ambient light ability in common knowledge, as well as good cost performance. In order to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed system, the measurement stability and the anti-crosstalk-a crucial factor affecting the system parallelization-were assessed firstly, then a series of static phantoms, dynamic phantoms and in vivo mice experiments were conducted to verify the imaging capability. RESULTS: The system has the limited dynamic range of 100 dB, the fluctuation of photon counting within 3%, and channel-to-channel crosstalk ratio better than 1.35. Under the condition of a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio, a complete measurement time for one frame image was 10.08 s. The experimental results of static phantoms with a single target and three targets showed that this system can accurately obtain the positions, sizes, and shapes of the targets and the reconstructed images exhibited a high quantitativeness. Further, the self-designed dynamic phantom experiments demonstrated the capability of the system to capture fast changing fluorescence signals. Finally, the in vivo experiments validated the practical capability of the system to effectively track the ICG metabolism in living mice. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that our proposed system can be utilized for assessing ICG pharmacokinetics, which may provide a valuable tool for tumor detection, drug assessment, and liver function evaluation.

BACKGROUND: The efficient intraoperative identification of tumors requires the development of highly specific near-infrared (NIR) probes as contrast agents. One of the most effective dyes existing in clinic oncology is Indocyanine Green (ICG). However, ICG has a rapid excretion, thus ruling out its extended accumulation in pathological tissues therefore limiting its clinical applications. ICG colloid solution (ICG NPs) consists predominantly of J-aggregates and to a lesser extent of H-aggregates and monomers. In the present study we assessed the spectral properties of ICG nanoforms in preclinical models. METHODS: We used optical spectroscopy and video fluorescence navigation to monitor accumulation and distribution of ICG monomers and ICG NPs in various tissues in mice with xenografted laryngopharyngeal carcinoma after intravenous drugs injection. RESULTS: After i.v. injection, the molecular form of ICG was not retained in the tumor and its circulation cycle averaged 5 min. Alternatively, the nanoform of the drug had a different pharmacokinetics, reaching maximum accumulation 24 h after intravenous injection. Moreover, once in the circulation, we observed a progressive accumulation in the tumor of both ICG H-aggregates and ICG monomers, but not J-aggregates. CONCLUSION: Spectral characteristics of ICG NPs indicated the presence of several fractions, namely, J- and H-aggregates along with molecular forms. These fractions had different fluorescence spectra, allowing us to track the transformation of the drug in vivo conditions. After ICG NPs administration, J-aggregates induce accumulation of monomeric forms in the tumor, enabling extended intraoperative diagnostic, and as such further studies of J-aggregates for theranostic applications in oncological surgery are of great interest.

TMTP1 is a polypeptide independently screened in our laboratory, which can target tumors in situ and metastases. In previous work, we have successfully developed a near-infrared (NIR) probe TMTP1-PEG4-ICG for tumor imaging. However, the limited ability to target tumor micrometastases hinders its further clinical application. Multimerization of peptides has been extensively demonstrated as an effective strategy to increase receptor binding affinity due to "multivalent effect" or "apparent cooperative affinity". In this study, a novel TMTP1 homodimer-directed NIR probe (TMTP1-PEG4)2-ICG was successfully constructed and synthesized. The cyclic TMTP1 peptides were bridged by two PEG4 linkers and then labeled with ICG-NHS for tumor imaging and photothermal therapy. In vivo biodistribution were assessed in normal BALB/c mice, and tumor targeting abilities of (TMTP1-PEG4)2-ICG and its monomer were evaluated and compared in 4T1-bearing subcutaneous tumor and lymph node metastasis model mice. Biodistribution analysis in vivo revealed that (TMTP1-PEG4)2-ICG was cleared mainly in both liver and kidney dependent way. Comparing with free ICG dye or TMTP1-PEG4-ICG probe, this improved (TMTP1-PEG4)2-ICG dimer showed more sensitive tumor imaging and could clearly identify tumors at a minimum volume of 10 mm3. Additionally, when compared to its monomer, lymph node (LN) metastases could also be apparently visualized and easily distinguished from normal LN by the novel dimer at 24 h post-injection. The blocking study revealed that the tumor accumulation of this probe was specifically medicated by receptor-ligand interaction. Furthermore, with the increase in stability and tumor targeting ability of ICG in vivo, the probe could also be an attractive photothermal agent to significantly inhibit tumor growth under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. In conclusion, our work revealed that the novel (TMTP1-PEG4)2-ICG dimer could be a promising theranostic agent for sensitive tumor imaging and imaging-guided photothermal therapy, indicating its broad prospects for further clinical transformation.

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and 9 are the family members of proteases normally up-regulated in tumor to enhance the invasion and metastatic of tumor cells, and are associated with poor outcome of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). In the present work, MMPs-degradable gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) are simultaneously loaded with photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) along with signal transducer activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor NSC74859 (NSC, N) for efficient photothermal therapy (PTT) and immunotherapy of HNSCCs. In the tumor tissue, Gel-N-ICG nanoparticle was degraded and encapsulated ICG and NSC were effectively released. Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the released ICG nanoparticles enabled effective photothermal destruction of tumors, and the STAT3 inhibitor NSC elicited potent antitumor immunity for enhanced cancer therapy. Based on two HNSCC mouse models, we demonstrated that Gel-N-ICG significantly delayed tumor growth without any appreciable body weight loss. Taken together, the strategy reported here may contribute that the stimuli-responsive proteases triggered nanoplatform could reduce tumor size more effectively in complex tumor microenvironment (TME) through combination of PTT and immunotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Ischemic type biliary lesions (ITBLs), a particular subset of non-anastomotic biliary strictures (NAS), are characterized by intra and extrahepatic strictures that occur in the absence of either hepatic artery thrombosis or stenosis. When they occur within the first year after liver transplantation their development is mostly related to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate (ICG-PDR) might be able to predict the probability of IRI-induced graft damage after liver transplantation. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to evaluate the association between ICG-PDR and the occurrence of ITBLs. Secondly, we searched for evidence of IRI in patients presenting ITBLs. METHODS: This retrospective single-center observational study assessed a cohort of 60 liver transplant patients. Each patient underwent ICG-PDR on the 1st postoperative day. ITBLs were identified by means of either cholangiography or magnetic resonance imaging evidence of a deformity and narrowing of the biliary tree in the absence of hepatic artery thrombosis/stenosis. RESULTS: ITBLs were discovered in 10 patients out of 60 liver recipients (16.67%) within one year after transplantation. A low ICG-PDR value was found to be a significant predictive factor for ITBL development, with an OR of 0.87 and a 95% CI of 0.77-0.97. Liver biopsies were performed in 56 patients presenting unexplained abnormal liver function test results. A statistically significant association was found between the development of ITBLs and anatomopathological evidence of IRI. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective, single-center study. CONCLUSIONS: The findings from this study show a relationship between low ICG-PDR values on first post-operative-day and the occurrence of ITBLs within 1 year after transplantation.

BACKGROUND: Surgery is considered to be a potentially curative approach for gastric cancer. However, most cases are diagnosed at a very advanced stage for the lack of typical symptoms in the initial stage, which makes it difficult to completely surgical resect of tumors. Early diagnosis and precise personalized intervention are urgent issues to be solved for improving the prognosis of gastric cancer. Herein, we developed an RGD-modified ROS-responsive multifunctional nanosystem for near-infrared (NIR) imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) against gastric cancer. METHODS: Firstly, the amphiphilic polymer was synthesized by bromination reaction and nucleophilic substitution reaction of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) and 4-hydroxymethyl-pinacol phenylborate (BAPE). Then, it was used to encapsulate indocyanine green (ICG) and modified with RGD to form a smart multifunctional nanoparticle targeted to gastric cancer (CMCh-BAPE-RGD@ICG). The characteristics were determined, and the targeting capacity and biosafety were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, CMCh-BAPE-RGD@ICG mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) effect was studied using gastric cancer cells (SGC7901) and SGC7901 tumor model. RESULTS: The nanoparticle exhibited suitable size (≈ 120 nm), improved aqueous stability, ROS-responsive drug release, excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, enhanced cellular uptake, and targeting capacity to tumors. Remarkably, in vivo studies suggested that CMCh-BAPE-RGD@ICG could accurately illustrate the location and margin of the SGC7901 tumor through NIR imaging in comparison with non-targeted nanoparticles. Moreover, the antitumor activity of CMCh-BAPE-RGD@ICG-mediated PTT could effectively suppress tumor growth by inducing necrosis and apoptosis in cancer cells. Additionally, CMCh-BAPE-RGD@ICG demonstrated excellent biosafety both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSION: Overall, our study provides a biocompatible theranostic nanoparticle with enhanced tumor-targeting ability and accumulation to realize NIR image-guided PTT in gastric cancer.

Background Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) photoacoustic (PA) imaging (PAI) is a novel noninvasive imaging modality that uses the differences in optical absorption of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin and may be performed in a dynamic fashion to image the indocyanine green (ICG) pharmacokinetics in the liver. Purpose To determine whether DCE PAI parameters (maximum peak time [Tmax] and half-life [T1/2]) derived from the PA liver function curve correlate with fibrosis determined using histopathologic analysis. Materials and Methods Between June 2020 and October 2020, 28 male mice aged 8 weeks were intraperitoneally injected with carbon tetrachloride solution every 2 days to establish a liver fibrosis model. At the 1st, 4th, and 8th week of modeling, the changes in liver structure were monitored dynamically by using a PA technique. The Tmax and T1/2 of ICG were calculated at different pathologic stages and within a control group. Corresponding liver histopathologic results and blood biochemical data were obtained. Spearman rank correlation was used to evaluate the relationship between the DCE PAI results and histologic scores. Results The PA liver function curve showed that the Tmax and T1/2 varied among groups (mean Tmax: control group, 9 seconds ± 1.8 [standard deviation]; 1 week, 51 seconds ± 4.4; 4 weeks, 73 seconds ± 5.3; 8 weeks, 104 seconds ± 6.6; P < .001) (mean T1/2: control group, 28 seconds ± 6.5; 1 week, 201 seconds ± 12.4; 4 weeks, 285 seconds ± 11; 8 weeks, 318 seconds ± 30.5; P < .001). There was a positive correlation between the dynamic parameters (Tmax and T1/2) and the histopathologic scores; the Spearman ρ ratios for the Sirius red and α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA)-positive areas versus the Tmax were 0.93 and 0.94 (P < .001 for both), and the Spearman ρ ratios for the Sirius red and αSMA-positive areas versus T1/2 were 0.87 and 0.89 (P < .001 for both). Conclusion Dynamic contrast-enhanced photoacoustic imaging demonstrated a higher maximum peak time and half-life in mice with induced fibrosis compared with control mice without fibrosis, and these values correlated with histologic measures of fibrosis. © RSNA, 2021 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

The mitochondrion is an important sub-cellular organelle responsible for the cellular energetic source and processes. Owing to its unique sensitivity to heat and reactive oxygen species, the mitochondrion is an appropriate target for photothermal and photodynamic treatment for cancer. However, targeted delivery of therapeutics to mitochondria remains a great challenge due to their location in the sub-cellular compartment and complexity of the intracellular environment. Herein, we report a class of the mitochondrion-targeted liposomal delivery platform consisting of a guanidinium-based dendritic peptide moiety mimicking mitochondrion protein transmembrane signaling to exert mitochondrion-targeted delivery with pH sensitive and charge-reversible functions to enhance tumor accumulation and cell penetration. Compared to the current triphenylphosphonium (TPP)-based mitochondrion targeting system, this dendritic lipopeptide (DLP) liposomal delivery platform exhibits about 3.7-fold higher mitochondrion-targeted delivery efficacy. Complete tumor eradication is demonstrated in mice bearing 4T1 mammary tumors after combined photothermal and photodynamic therapies delivered by the reported DLP platform.

Gold nanodendrite (AuND)-based nanotheranostic agents with versatile capabilities were fabricated by optimizing the geometrical configurations (dendrite length and density) of AuND to achieve localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in near-infrared biowindow II (NIR-II), and then subsequently functionalizing with a mitochondria-targeting compound (triphenylphosphonium, TPP), loading with an NIR-photosensitizer (indocyanine green, ICG) and coating with the macrophage cell membrane (MCM) to trap ICG within AuND and selectively interact with MDA-MB-231 cells. The novel AuND-TPP-ICG@MCM system enabled the integration of multimodal fluorescence/photoacoustic/surface-enhanced Raman imaging with synergistic therapies of NIR-II photothermal therapy and NIR-I photodynamic therapy for cancer treatment. Enhanced hyperthermia and elevated production of reactive oxygen species within the tumors via MCM coating and mitochondria targeting afforded a synergistic efficacy for tumor eradication with limited side effects. The demonstrated biocompatibility, multi-imaging capability, and high therapeutic efficiency under NIR laser irradiation indicate the potentials of this multifunctional nanotheranostic platform for clinical utility in cancer therapy.

Infectious endocarditis is a life-threatening disease, and diagnostics are urgently needed to accurately diagnose this disease especially in the case of prosthetic valve endocarditis. We show here that maltohexaose conjugated to indocyanine green (MH-ICG) can detect Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection in a rat model of infective endocarditis. The affinity of MH-ICG to S. aureus was determined and had a Km and Vmax of 5.4 µM and 3.0 X 10-6 µmol/minutes/108 CFU, respectively. MH-ICG had no detectable toxicity to mammalian cells at concentrations as high as 100 µM. The in vivo efficiency of MH-ICG in rats was evaluated using a right heart endocarditis model, and the accumulation of MH-ICG in the bacterial vegetations was 2.5 ± 0.2 times higher than that in the control left ventricular wall. The biological half-life of MH-ICG in healthy rats was 14.0 ± 1.3 minutes, and approximately 50% of injected MH-ICG was excreted into the feces after 24 hours. These data demonstrate that MH-ICG was internalized by bacteria with high specificity and that MH-ICG specifically accumulated in bacterial vegetations in a rat model of endocarditis. These results demonstrate the potential efficacy of this agent in the detection of infective endocarditis.

Mapping of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) can enable less invasive surgery. However, mapping is challenging for cancers of difficult-to-access visceral organs, such as the gallbladder, because the standard method using radioisotopes (RIs) requires preoperative tracer injection. Indocyanine green (ICG) and superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) have also been used as alternative tracers. In this study, we modified a previously reported magnetic probe for laparoscopic use and evaluated the feasibility of detecting SLNs of the gallbladder using a laparoscopic dual tracer method by injecting ICG and SPIO into five swine and one cancer-bearing swine. The laparoscopic probe identified SPIO nanoparticles in the nodes of 4/5 swine in situ, the magnetic field counts were 2.5-15.9 µT, and fluorescence was detected in SLNs in all five swine. ICG showed a visual lymph flow map, and SPIO more accurately identified each SLN with a measurable magnetic field quite similar to the RI. We then developed an advanced gallbladder cancer model with lymph node metastasis using recombination activating gene 2-knockout swine. We identified an SLN in the laparoscopic investigation, and the magnetic field count was 3.5 µT. The SLN was histologically determined to be one of the two metastatic lymph nodes. In conclusion, detecting the SLNs of gallbladder cancer in situ using a dual tracer laparoscopic technique with ICG and SPIO was feasible in a swine model.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a near infrared fluorescent tracer used in image-guided surgery to assist surgeons during resection. Despite appearing as a very promising tool for surgical oncology, its employment in this area is limited to lymph node mapping or to laparoscopic surgery, as it lacks tumor targeting specificity. Recently, a nanoformulation of this dye has been proposed with the aim toward tumor targeting specificity in order to expand its employment in surgical oncology. This nanosystem is constituted by 24 monomers of H-Ferritin (HFn), which self-assemble into a spherical cage structure enclosing the indocyanine green fluorescent tracer. These HFn nanocages were demonstrated to display tumor homing due to the specific interaction between the HFn nanocage and transferrin receptor 1, which is overexpressed in most tumor tissues. Here, we provide an ex vivo detailed comparison between the biodistribution of this nanotracer and free ICG, combining the results obtained with the Karl Storz endoscope that is currently used in clinical practice and the quantification of the ICG signal derived from the fluorescence imaging system IVIS Lumina II. These insights demonstrate the suitability of this novel HFn-based nanosystem in fluorescence-guided oncological surgery.

BACKGROUND: Hepatectomy with extrahepatic bile duct resection is associated with a high risk of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). However, the utility of the remnant liver volume (RLV) in cholangiocarcinoma has not been studied intensively. METHODS: Patients who underwent major hepatectomy with extrahepatic bile duct resection between 2002 and 2018 were reviewed. The RLV was divided by body surface area (BSA) to normalize individual physical differences. Risk factors for clinically relevant PHLF were evaluated with special reference to the RLV/BSA. RESULTS: A total of 289 patients were included. The optimal cut-off value for RLV/BSA was determined to be 300 ml/m2. Thirty-two patients (11.1 per cent) developed PHLF. PHLF was more frequent in patients with an RLV/BSA below 300 ml/m2 than in those with a value of 300 ml/m2 or greater: 19 of 87 (22 per cent) versus 13 of 202 (6.4 per cent) (P < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, RLV/BSA below 300 ml/m2 (P = 0.013), future liver remnant plasma clearance rate of indocyanine green less than 0.075 (P = 0.031), and serum albumin level below 3.5 g/dl (P = 0.015) were identified as independent risk factors for PHLF. Based on these risk factors, patients were classified into three subgroups with low (no factors), moderate (1-2 factors), and high (3 factors) risk of PHLF, with PHLF rates of 1.8, 14.8 and 63 per cent respectively (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: An RLV/BSA of 300 ml/m2 is a simple predictor of PHLF in patients undergoing hepatectomy with extrahepatic bile duct resection.

Hollow nanostructures have attracted significant research interest in drug delivery systems due to their high capacities for drug loading and unique physicochemical properties, showing great potential in specific biomedical applications. Herein, hollow porphyrinic metal-organic framework (H-PMOF) nanoparticles with a mesoporous spherical shell have been fabricated via a facile self-sacrificial ZIF-8 nanoparticle template strategy. The H-PMOF nanoplatform not only demonstrates a greatly enhanced photodynamic therapy efficacy compared with nonhollow porphyrinic MOF nanoparticles but also can be used as a superior drug carrier to co-load doxorubicin (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG) with an ultrahigh drug-loading capacity of 635%. Furthermore, cancer cell membrane camouflage of the (DOX and ICG)@H-PMOF composite nanoparticles affords a biomimetic nanoplatform, that is, (DOX and ICG)@H-PMOF@mem (DIHPm for short), with an outstanding homologous tumor-targeting and immune-escaping ability. Interestingly, DIHPm shows both pH-controlled and near-infrared laser-triggered DOX release. Both in vitro and in vivo studies of DIHPm demonstrate an excellent imaging-guided synergistic photodynamic/photothermal/chemotherapy anticancer activity with negligible systemic toxicity. The development of the high-performance H-PMOF nanoplatform provides new insights into the design of MOF-based multifunctional nanomedicines for combination cancer therapy and precise theranostics.
