The age varied from 27 to 74 years. The method of treatment assumed the use of the photosensitizer рhotolon (RUE «Belmedpreparaty», Belarus) administered intravenously in doses of 1.8–2.5 mg/kg. Photoirradiation of pathological foci was carried out 2.5–3 hours after intravenous injection of photolon® using a semiconductor laser «UPL PDT» (LEMT, Belarus, λ=661 nm) at exposure doses from 30 to 100 J/cm2 with a power density of 100–170 mW/cm2. The treatment was performed under medical anesthesia. The results of treatment were evaluated using clinical data. Adverse reactions and complications after the introduction of the photosensitizer and photoirradiation have not been observed. Complete clinical regression of the treated pathological foci was noted in 100% of cases with a follow‑up observation 1 month after the treatment. At follow‑up after 3 months, local recurrences of the disease were detected in 4 cases, which were successfully treated with repeated photo‑dynamic therapy sessions. The percentage of complete regressions was 92%, partial – 8%. The obtained results allow judging on the possibility of using photodynamic therapy in the treatment of patients with vulvar leukoplakia, which allows to preserve the organ and obtain a satisfactory functional and cosmetic result.","PeriodicalId":37713,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Photonics","volume":"7 1","pages":"4-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42792206","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}

With the increase in the incidence of AK, mainly due to the popularization of recreation in countries with increased insolation, there is an increasing interest in developing new methods of diagnostics and treatment and improving the existing ones. Studies that are aimed at determining the final efficacy of PDT, taking into account the resulting adverse reactions and long-term cosmetic results, are becoming increasingly popular. The nature of the light needed to excite a photosensitizer (PS) opens up new possibilities in the field of experimental studies that are aimed at reducing adverse reactions with similar efficacy of the applied therapy. In the review article, we presented the results of our own and foreign studies on the diagnosis and treatment of AK for 2017–2019, namely: we determined the possibilities of using sources with natural and short-wave radiation at different depths of skin lesions; presented a classification of the growth of AK in the basal layer of the epidermis, which increases the possibility of predicting the outcomes of the disease; showed the prevailing efficiency of fluorescent diagnostics compared with traditional diagnostic methods; evaluated the advantages of PDT using natural light and artificial sources of radiation; described the possibility of using a combination of drugs to increase the effectiveness of PDT in difficult to treat areas and in AK foci with a high degree of damage to the basal layer of the epidermis.","PeriodicalId":37713,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Photonics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68974396","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 many cases, the consequences of this disease are fatal. Therefore, a simple, fast, accurate and affordable diagnostic system for the early detection of this disease is necessary for the timely administration of antimalarial drugs. The malarial parasite, during its intra-erythrocyte development, processes a significant amount of hemoglobin, which in this case turns into a hem form called hemozoin. Hemozoin and hemoglobin have different molar extinction coefficients at certain optical wavelengths, hence, light absorption and an optoacoustic signal (OAS) from the infected cell will be different from that of a healthy cell. The paper describes the developed theoretical model intended for studying the influence of intra-erythrocyte malarial parasite development on optoacoustic signals. The OAS were calculated based on the models of healthy and infected blood modeled on the basis of a 3D model. The simulated OAS were analyzed in the temporal and frequency domains to obtain signs of infection at various stages. The calculated OAS spectra have different amplitude levels, which indicates that the optoacoustic method can be useful for differentiating various intraerythrocyte stages of the malarial parasite. The carried out modeling and the results obtained allow us to continue working on the creation of an optoacoustic flow cytometer.","PeriodicalId":37713,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Photonics","volume":"7 1","pages":"36-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68973789","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}

For routine clinical use of hyperthermia, it is necessary to control the uniformity and localization of heat within the tumor. Local heating can be achieved by using special thermal agents, such as nanoparticles doped with rare-earth ions. Measurement of the temperature of the thermal agents will allow timely regulation of the applied laser radiation excitation power and optimization of the hyperthermia process.The paper presents the results of a study on the non-invasive determination of the YPO4 nanoparticles doped with Nd3+ temperature with sensitivity of 0.2% °С-1 in 30-60°С temperature range. The temperature of the nanoparticles was calculated from the Nd3+ luminescence spectra in the 800-1000 nm range under excitation into 4F5/2 energy state by 805 nm laser. A calibration procedure for recalculating the ratio of the luminescence intensities from the Stark sublevels of the 4F3/2 Nd3+ state into the values of the real NP temperature in accordance with the Boltzmann distribution is given. An algorithm for calculating luminescence intensities for individual Stark components is proposed. After calculating the intensities corresponding to each individual Stark component, all the intensities related to the transition from the upper and lower Stark sublevels of the 4F3/2 state are summed, and then their ratio is calculated. The resulting ratio is normalized to the value of the ratio at room temperature and, in accordance with the calibration dependence, is recalculated into the NP heating temperature. It was demonstrated that the investigated 1%Nd3+:YPO4 nanoparticles can be used as \"primary” thermometers that do not require additional recalibration to evaluate the temperature in the range used for hyperthermia.","PeriodicalId":37713,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Photonics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41347915","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}
