Liposomes that can release their cargo upon an externally controlled trigger are attractive candidates for localized drug release. Light as external trigger can be controlled temporal and spatial with high precision. In this study, we investigate the potential of light sensitive liposomes with four different photosensitizers for light-induced release. To demonstrate permeabilization of the liposomes, we encapsulated calcein in high concentration inside liposomes, that calcein fluorescence is quenched. If calcein is released from the liposome, quenching is diminished and the fluorescence increases. We demonstrated that liposomes with the sensitizers Benzoporphyrine derivative monoacid (BPD), chlorine e6 (Ce6), Al(III) Phthalocyanine chloride disulfonic acid (AlPcS2) and a di-hydroxyphenyl porphyrine (5,10-DiOH) release cargo effectively after irradiation. Liposomes with 5,10-DiOH showed a quicker release compared to the other sensitizers. Further we observed through fractionated irradiation, that most of the release took place during light irradiation, while the permeability of the liposome decreased shortly after light exposure.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128149193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In rural areas, a lack of adequate medical infrastructure contributes to unchecked disease progression and dismal mortality rates. PDT emerges as a potential modality which can be implemented in resource limited settings, while photosensitizer fluorescence can be leveraged for treatment guidance. Here, as part of an ongoing clinical study evaluating low-cost technology for ALA PDT treatment, we evaluated the capability of a simple smartphone-based device for imaging ALA-induced PpIX fluorescence. The imaging device itself consists of an annulus of 405nm LEDs for PpIX excitation with emission filter in the center mounted over the phone camera. 18 subjects having <2 cm diameter (mean size; ~1.38 cm2) lesions with micro-invasive (≤5 mm. depth) moderately/well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma were administered 60 mg/kg ALA in oral solution and imaged before and after delivery of 100 J/cm2 total light dose to the lesion surface. We will present comparative analysis of pre-and post-treatment fluorescence, white light, and ultrasound images. In general, PpIX fluorescence images obtained prior to therapeutic light delivery are able to resolve lesion margins while dramatic photobleaching in post-treatment images confirms the irradiated zone. Overall this approach is able to generate sufficient fluorescence contrast for treatment guidance and monitoring photobleaching while the use of a smartphone-based device provides a low-cost, widely available platform with potential for telemedicine integration.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132818338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Liposomes offer an excellent opportunity to achieve selective drug, targeting what is expected to prevent local irritation and reduce drug toxicity. Сyclodextrins (CDs) have been utilized as independent carriers for improvement of pharmaceutical properties such as solubility, stability, and bioavailability of various drug molecules, including mTHPC. Therefore, we assumed that encapsulation of CD-complexed drug into liposomes might increase drug loading capacity, entrapment efficiency, may restrain the dissociation of drug-CD complexes and prolong its systemic circulation. DCL nanoparticles have been prepared with various compositions to optimize the structure aiming to alter more favorably the distribution of temoporfin in tumor tissue. To enhance the encapsulation efficiency, double loaded DCLs, which include mTHPC in lipid bilayer along with (CD-mTHPC) inclusion complexes in the inner aqueous lumen, were prepared. It was demonstrated that DCLs possessed higher serum stability compared with conventional mTHPC liposomes (Foslip). In fine, we showed that the presence of serum in the medium less affected cellular uptake of mTHPC delivered by double loaded MDCL compared with Foslip.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124835116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used cryo-ET to evaluate the photodynamic effect on the viability and envelope architecture of a Gram-negative bacteria. Bacterial suspension of E. coli minicells were submitted to photodynamic treatment with methylene blue solution (100μM) and a 100mW low power diode laser emitting at 660nm with 6 and 18J of energy. As a control group, a suspension of minicells were submitted to 462 IU/mL penicillin G for 60 min at 30 °C, to compare the damage in cell wall structure. After treatment bacteria were immediately plunge-frozen across EM grids and standard cryo-ET tilt series were collected, 3D images reconstructions were calculated and recorded. The imagens showed detachment of the bacterial cell walls and mesosome-like structures. In addition, some sites showed interrupted stretches in both inner and outer membranes and cell wall degradation, indicating bacterial envelope damage. Cryo-electron tomography revealed that the effects of photodynamic therapy on Gram negative bacteria was based on damage to the outer membrane, cell wall and inner membrane and occurs in an energy-dependent manner.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122990557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cell viability assay showed 14% apoptosis rates in isolated erythrocytes, indicating damaging action of PDI, and no damage in platelet. For UVC radiation (254 nm), different light doses were analyzed, and the cell viability assay determined the toxicity of technique. The reductions of S. aureus in whole blood, erythrocytes and platelet-rich plasma at 23 J/cm2 were 1.7 log, 1.1 log and 2.5 log CFU/mL, respectively. Relatively small differences were observed in plasma as a function of irradiation time, suggesting some degradation of plasma proteins with 23 J/cm2. The cell viability assay showed normal rates for erythrocytes, however, in the platelets, a high apoptosis rate was observed (74%).

This study assessed the efficacy of autofluorescence endoscopy (AFE) using the Onco-LIFE system and numerical color value (NCV) estimation in comparison to white light endoscopy (WLE) in endoscopic surveillance for identification of early dysplasia in Barrett’s esophagus (BE). In the case of dysplasia photodynamic treatment (PDT) was carried out. Methods. AFE, performed simultaneously during WLE, with biopsy was performed in 24 patients with BE. None of these patients had any obvious mucosal abnormalities in WLE. A total of 376 biopsies were taken, include 325 randomly collected according to Seattle Protocol (SP) and 51 additional biopsies, taken from the sites with pathological AF and NCV, and then compared to histological examinations. The PDT was performed using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and DIOMED 630nm light source. Results. In the case of 248 biopsies taken from sites with NCV below 1.0, two cases of unspecified dysplasia were recognized; in 14 biopsies with NCV above 2.0 in all cases the various grades of dysplasia were documented. Dysplasia was found in 42% of AFE+NCV- guided biopsy specimens, and in 7.1% of WLE-guided biopsy specimens. AFE+NCV detected high-grade dysplasia in 7 patients, 6 more than according to SP in WLE. In the group patients with dysplasia, PDT was successfully carried out. Conclusion: The results indicate that AFE+NCV using the Onco-LIFE system leads to improved BE lesion visualization for targeted biopsy with accurate histologic correlation compared to WLE and SP guided biopsy, and can serve to minimize additional biopsies. PDT is an effective therapeutic method in BE.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126333110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
