Accumulating evidence showed that the combination of antibody immunotherapy and PDT can complement each other to produce effective cancer-targeted photoimmunotherapy. IRDye 700DX (IR700) is a water-soluble phthalocyanine-based photosensitizer that can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) efficiently upon light irradiation. Cadherin-17 (CDH17) is a cell surface antigen commonly overexpressed in gastrointestinal cancers. By conjugating IR700 to anti-CDH17 humanized monoclonal antibody (ARB102), the conjugate could target CDH17 positive cancer cells and achieve selective accumulation to induce potent cytotoxicity upon light irradiation.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"10 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":"121942282","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}

According to biologic characteristics, vascular tumors are classified into benign, locally invasive and malignant tumor. Vascular malformations are composed of capillary malformations, venous malformations, arterial malformations and so on. The clinical manifestations of vascular anomalies, involving skin, mucosa membrane, bones and muscles of extremities and eyes, are extremely complicated, therefore multidisciplinary team (MDT) of vascular anomalies, including department of dermatology, plastic surgery, invasive technology, ophthalmology, radiology, ultrasound, pathology, should be included. Dermatologists are good at diagnosing vascular anomalies by differentiating the lesions with eyes or dermoscopy, but we often require the assistance from ultrasonography for determining flow, velocity, direction of blood. The diagnosis level of ultrasound doctors is closely associated with clinical experience, hence we also need the aid from radiologists who can use vascular sequence in MRI or CT to detect vessels. Histopathology, confirming benign or malignant tumors, tissue origin, can decide the treatment scheme and operation mode. Laser, intense pulsed light and photodynamic therapy are insufficient for treating complicated vascular anomalies in dermatological research, and excision, skin-grafting and interventional therapy are applied to treat these diseases. Patients with vascular diseases generally visit different departments which are sometimes improper. In order to diagnose and treat vascular anomalies better, relevant disciplines should strengthen communication. Our MDT of vascular anomalies already consulted 20 patients and the patients acquired the right and effective treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to establish MDT of vascular diseases which can improve the rate of correct diagnosis and give a right treatment.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"6 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":"132559977","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}

However, there are conflicting reports in the literature about the effect of growth phase on the susceptibility to PDI. The aim of this study was to identify the potential molecular targets of PDI on Candida albicans in exponential growth phase after PDI mediated by methylene blue (50μM) and exposure to a 660nm-LED (P=360mW). For this task, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques were employed. Pre-irradiation time was set at 10min and exposure time was 15 min delivering a radiant exposure of 162 J/cm2 on a 24-well plate of about 2 cm2. Morphological analysis revealed cell damage after PDI. FT-IR predominantly showed degradation of functional groups related to C-O of deoxyribose; C-C of DNA; C-O stretching vibration of C-OH group of ribose-RNA; P-O stretching modes from the phosphodiester groups of nucleic acids; C=C, C=N, C=O, N=H proteins and amides. Previous studies from our group had demonstrated different targets on the same cells but in stationary growth phase. Therefore, we can conclude that PDI promoted damage to intracellular structures in fungal cells at exponential-phase growth and information on the susceptibility of different growth phases to PDI can be of great importance for the development of treatment strategies that would lead to inactivation of fungal cells in all possible phases of growth in a way that would turn the clinical PDI treatment effective and predictable.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"75 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":"124866981","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}

However, high-grade tumour types demonstrate significant heterogeneity and their susceptibility to PDT may vary. This study aimed to determine the response of different invasive tumour types to different photosensitizers and differing light irradiation doses. Immortalized neuroblastoma (SHSY-5Y), proliferative human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and Glioblastoma Multiforme (U87MG) cell lines were exposed in vitro to progressively increasing 630nm laser irradiation, with the use of a first (5- Aminolevulinic Acid) and second-generation photosensitizer (Photofrin). Cell kill was assessed using a viability assay, quantified by a 96-well plate reader. Individually, neither irradiation, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or Photofrin caused death of U87MG, SHSY-5Y or HaCaT cells. However, when combining light irradiation with photosensitizers, both 5-ALA and Photofrin caused a dose-dependent reduction in the viability of U87MG glioblastoma cells, but the potency of light was higher in cells treated with Photofrin. SHSY-5Y neuroblastoma cells exhibited higher sensitivity to PDT (using 5-ALA) than U87MG and HaCat keratinocytes. SHSY-5Y and U87MG exhibited similar sensitivities to irradiation with Photofrin as the photosensitizer. Highly invasive tumours can demonstrate different behaviours when exposed to similar PDT doses with certain photosensitizers, while others produce a uniformity of response. This has strong implications for ongoing research, suggesting a mechanism beyond simple free radical generation, as well as the potential for those tumours exhibiting a poor response to PDT in prior work requiring investigation with other photosensitizers.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"13 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":"116725016","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}

Positron emission tomography with 11C-Methionine (Met-PET) is a promising imaging modality to depict clear boundary of infiltrating glioma. We studied the correlation between preoperative Met-PET uptake and intraoperative 5-ALA fluorescence. Method: Patients who underwent preoperative Met-PET study and tumor removal using 5-ALA over a period of two years were analyzed. The regional uptake of Met-PET was expressed as the ratio of the maximum of standardized uptake value (SUV-max) to the contralateral normal brain. 5-ALA fluorescence from tumor sample was immediately measured during surgery using blue laser and spectrometer. Fluorescence intensity was categorized into four groups (None, Weak, Moderate, Strong) with ten-hold differences. Results: 16 cases with pathological diagnosis of astrocytic tumors were analyzed. Met-PET uptake was markedly high in “Strong” fluorescence group (3.81±0.77). Particularly, among 11 newly-diagnosed cases, the difference was statistically significant (p=0.017, Kruskal-Wallis test). \"Strong\" fluorescence group still showed significant difference when compared with other groups together, in all cases and newly-diagnosed cases (p=0.01 and p=0.004, respectively, Mann- Whitney U test). Discussion/Conclusion: There are limited number of reports regarding 5-ALA and Met-PET, stating that Met-PET and 5- ALA fluorescence should be considered separately. However, the fluorescence was grossly distinguished whether positive or negative. Our study utilized objective spectroscopic measurement of fluorescence intensity. The results suggested that strong fluorescence intensity induced by 5-ALA reflects high Met-PET uptake. This could indicate the importance of bright fluorescence by 5-ALA in glioma surgery.","PeriodicalId":267589,"journal":{"name":"World Congress of the International Photodynamic Association","volume":"39 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":"121160976","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}
