ObjectiveTo understand the research advance of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on cholangiocarcinoma. MethodDomestic and international publications online which involving the research of PDT on cholangiocarcinoma in recent years were reviewed. Results①PDT was a new therapy on tumor from the tissue and cell level, which could destroy the target tissue and cell under the photochemical reaction and kill the tumor cell according to the characteristics of the selective intake of tumor tissue on particular photosensitizer. It could mainly induce tumor cell apoptosis and necrosis, destroy the tumor microvascular, stimulate the immune and inflammatory response.②PDT on the research level of the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma had achieved fairly good curative effects, which could make the tumor shrinkage, reduce the harm to normal bile duct cell, and prolong the survival, improve the survival rate and the quality of life.③Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) played important roles in the development of cholangiocarcinoma. PDT could inhibit the expressions of PCNA, VEGF-C, and COX-2, and then could promote cell apoptosis, and then inhibit cell proliferation. ConclusionsPDT is a new technology in treatment of malignant tumor, which whether used alone or combined with other methods has less adverse reaction and could obviously improve the local symptoms in treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. But many problems about PDT need to be solved at present, in the base areas, such as research and development of new photosensitizer and precise mechanism of killing tumor, in the clinical applications, such as selection and application of photosensitizer, ways and parameters of the laser, formulation of treatment plans and the reduction of the complications.
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of prolonged photodynamic therapy (PDT) irradiation time combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab in the treatment of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH).MethodsA retrospective clinical study. From March 2012 to March 2018, 51 eyes of 51 patients diagnosed in Shenzhen Eye Hospital were included in the study. Among the patients, the tumor of 36 eyes were located in macular area, of 15 eyes were located outside macular area (near center or around optic disc). All patients underwent BCVA, color fundus photography, FFA, ocular B-scan ultrasonography and OCT examinations. The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into logMAR visual acuity. OCT showed 48 eyes with macular serous retinal detachment. of 36 eyes with tumor located in macular area, the logMAR BCVA was 0.05±0.05, the tumor thickness was 4.5±2.2 mm, the diameter of tumor was 9.7±3.6 mm. Of 15 eyes with tumor located outside macular area, the logMAR BCVA was 0.32±0.15, the tumor thickness was 3.8±1.4 mm, the diameter of tumor was 7.7±1.9 mm. PDT was performed for all eyes with the irradiation time of 123 s. After 48 h, all patients received intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab (0.05 ml). At 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment, the same equipment and methods before treatment were used for related examination. BCVA, subretinal effusion (SRF), tumor leakage and size changes were observed. BCVA, tumor thickness and diameter before and after treatment were compared by t test.ResultsAt 6 months after treatment, the tumor was becoming smaller without scar formation. FFA showed that the blood vessels in the tumor were sparse compared with those before treatment, and the fluorescence leakage domain was reduced. OCT showed 43 eyes of macular serous detachment were treated after the combined treatment. The logMAR BCVA were 0.16±0.15 and 0.55±0.21 of the eyes with tumor located in or outside macular area, respectively. The difference of logMAR BCVA between before and after treatment was significant (t=－2.511, －2.676; P=0.036, 0.040). Both the tumor thickness (t=3.416, 3.055; P=0.011, 0.028) and diameter (t=4.385, 4.171; P=0.002, 0.009) of CCH patients were significantly reduced compared with that before treatment.ConclusionThe tumor of CCH can be reduced by prolonged PDT irradiation time combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab.
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for patients with nonresectable bile duct cancer. Methods Two reviewers independently searched The Cochrane Library (issue 4, 2006), MEDLINE (1966 to February 2007), CNKI (1994 to February 2007) and VIP (1989 to February 2007), respectively. The quality of included studies was assessed according to the guidance in the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Results Two randomized controlled trials involving 71 patients with nonresectable bile duct cancer met the inclusion criteria and were included. Both of these trials reported that the median survival time in patients who were treated with endoprostheses and PDT was longer than for those treated with endoprostheses alone (493 days versus 98 days, and 21 months versus 7 months, in the two trials respectively) One trial reported that the global quality of life in patients in the PDT with endoprostheses group was significantly better than that for the endoprostheses alone group: the difference of Karnofshy index between the two groups was 25.4 (14.4-36.3). The other trial reported no difference between the two groups. No severe adverse effects were observed during either trial. Conclusion Current evidence demonstrates that PDT can improve the survival time of patients with nonresectable bile duct cancer, and reduce the burden of treatment. The treatment might increase biliary infectious rate, but this can be managed by antibiotics therapy. No severe adverse effects are observed. More randomized controlled trials, with large sample sizes, may lead to more accurate results.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of endogenous photodynamic therapy (PDT) on intracellular cAMP and cGMP concentrations of human colon carcinoma cell lines SW480. MethodsSW480 cells were divided into control group, light group, δaminolevulinic acid （ALA） group (ALA group) and endogenous PDT group (ALAPDT group). Intracellular cAMP and cGMP concentrations of each group were detected by radioimmunoassay at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after irradiation. ResultsThere was a significant increase in intracellular cAMP concentration of ALAPDT group at 30 min after irradiation (P＜0.001) and sequent decrease, but intracellular cAMP concentrations of ALAPDT group at 60, 90 and 120 min after irradiation had no statistical difference than the other groups (Pgt;0.05). Intracellular cGMP concentration of different time point of each group was not significantly different. ConclusionThese results indicate that the cytoprotection of SW480 cell are produced by an instantaneous increase in the intracellular cAMP concentration while endogenous PDT is killing SW480 cell.
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cutaneous bowen disease. Methods We electronically searched PubMed, OVID, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CBM, and CNKI databases from January, 1966 to March, 2010. The language was confined to English and Chinese. We screened the retrieved randomized controlled trials (RCTs) according to the predefined inclusion criteria, evaluated the quality of the included studies, and performed meta-analysis with RevMan 5.0.23 software. Results Five RCTs were included; among all 496 skin leisions on 354 patients, 237 were in trial group while the other 259 were in control group. The healing rate of PDT was higher than that of both placebo (RR=4.16, 95%CI 1.69 to 10.25) and topical fluorouracil (RR=1.38, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.71), and was similar to that of cryotherapy. The cosmetic outcome evaluation of PDT was better than that of both cryotherapy (RR=1.48, 95%CI 1.18 to 1.87) and topical fluorouracil treatment (RR=1.51, 95%CI 1.05 to 2.15). The recurrence rate of PDT was lower than that of placebo (RR=0.29, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.86), and was similar with cryotherapy or topical fluorouracil treatment respectively. The healing rate of PDT with red light source was higher than that of PDT with green light (RR=1.29, 95%CI 1.02 to 1.65), and the recurrence rate of the former was lower than that of the latter (RR=0.20, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.87). There was no difference between 2-fold illumination scheme and single illumination scheme in the healing rate or the cosmetic outcome evaluation. The adverse effects include pain, cacesthesia, inflammatory reaction, hyperpigmentation, and crusting. Conclusion The limited evidence indicates that the efficacy of PDT is better than those of placebo, cryotherapy or topical fluorouracil treatment, the recurrence rate of PDT is lower than that of placebo, and the adverse effects are similar comparing to control groups. The PDT with red light source is superior to PDT with green light source for having better effectiveness, less recurrence and similar adverse effects. The 2-fold illumination scheme and single illumination scheme have similar efficacy, but the former is more painful.
Objective To explore application value of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in treatment of unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Method The literatures about PDT in the treatment of the unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma in the PubMed, MedLine, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were reviewed. Results The PDT combined with stent or chemotherapy was the main method in the treatment of the unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma, which could make the tumor down-staging, obviously reduce the jaundice, improve the quality of life, improve the survival rate, prolong the stent patency and be treated repeatedly. Especially, it was suitable for the patients with elderly, poor health, intolerance of surgery, could partly replace the R1 or R2 operation of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and avoid the risk of surgery and postoperative complications. The therapeutic effective of the PDT was related to the early therapy and times of therapy. However, the shortcomes of the PDT were that the depth of killing tumor was not enough and there was a certain incidence of adverse reaction. Conclusions Therapeutic effect of PDT combine with stent or chemotherapy for unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma is better than that of single therapy. It is expected to be a first-line scheme of palliative treatment for unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Objective To explore the effect of pyropheophorbide-a methyl ester-mediated photodynamic therapy (MPPa-PDT) on the apoptosis in human osteosarcoma cell line MG63 and the underlying mechanism. Methods Human osteosarcoma MG63 cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into 4 groups: blank control group (control group), the MPPa treatment group (MPPa group), the light irradiation group (LED group), and MPPa-PDT treatment group (MPPa-PDT group). MPPa-PDT group and MPPa group were incubated with MPPa (0.75 μmol/ L) for 20 hours in dark condition; control group and LED group were incubated with equal volume of fresh medium for 20 hours in the same condition. After washing with PBS and replacement with fresh culture medium, LED group and MPPa-PDT group cells were exposed to light (4.8 J/cm2) for 120 seconds. After light exposure, all groups were cultured in dark condition again. Then cellular morphology changes were observed by an inverted phase contrast microscopy, endoplasmic reticulum morphology changes were observed by transmission electron microscopy, cellular apoptosis was detected by Hoechst33258 nuclear staining, cell apoptotic rate and the levels of Ca in cells were analyzed by flow cytometry, the expression of p-PERK, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), cleaved-Caspase-12 were assayed by Western blot. Results In MPPa-PDT group, the retracted and round cells were observed; Hoechst33258 nuclear staining showed nuclear condensation, fragmentation, and other typical apoptotic morphological changes; the cell apoptotic rate (48.76%±3.54%) was significantly higher than that of control group (5.04%±0.41%), MPPa group (5.33%±0.38%), and LED group (6.48%±0.46%) (P < 0.05); the levels of Ca2+ in cells (485.29±58.77) was also significantly higher than that of control group (97.24±4.77), MPPa group (97.95±6.30), and LED group (101.17±5.26) (P < 0.05); swelling endoplasmic reticulum was observed under transmission electron microscope; the expressions of p-PERK, CHOP, and cleaved-Caspase-12 gradually increased at 1, 3, and 6 hours after treatment respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the other groups (P < 0.05). There was no typical apoptotic morphological changes and endoplasmic reticulum morphological changes in control group, MPPa group, and LED group, and there was no significant difference in the above indexes among 3 groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion MPPa-PDT can significantly induce apoptosis in MG63 cells. The endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway is involved in the MPPa-PDT induced apoptosis.
ObjectiveTo observe and analyze the clinical and imaging features of eyes with cystoid macular degeneration (CMD) secondary to chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC). MethodsA retrospective clinical study. From February 2018 to June 2023, 9 patients of 15 eyes with cCSC secondary CMD diagnosed by ophthalmology examination in Yunnan University Affiliated Hospital were included in the study. All patients were male. The age was (53.67±3.83) years. The cases of binocular and monocular were 6 and 3 respectively. The visual acuity of the affected eye ranges from 0.02 to 0.1, which cannot be corrected. Visual acuity decreased and the duration of shadow occlusion was ＞1 year. Half dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) was performed on 8 eyes. All the patients underwent the best corrected visual acuity, posterior mydriatic fundus color photography, infrared fundus photography (IR), fundus autofluorescence (AF), fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and multi-wavelength dazzling imaging (MC). The patients who received half dose PDT were followed up until 3 months after treatment. Patients who did not receive treatment were followed up to 2 years after the first diagnosis. ResultsThe light reflection in macular area decreased or disappeared in all eyes, and abnormal macular pigmentation was observed in 12 eyes. IR examination showed diffuse patchy weak fluorescence in the macular area in all affected eyes, and dotted strong fluorescence in the periphery. Fundus AF examination showed disc-like weak AF in the macular area, and scattered small amounts of strong AF in the middle and margins, among which the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy trace in the macular area was observed in 7 eyes. By MC examination, the green signal in the macular area of the posterior pole of all affected eyes was uneven and mottled. FFA examination showed that no abnormal fluorescein leakage was observed in 15 eyes and 8 eyes showed strong fluorescence caused by diffuse permeation fluorescence. A small amount of active fluorescein was found in 7 eyes. OCT examination showed that there were several cystic cavities of different sizes in all the affected eyes, RPE atrophied to different degrees, and RPE cell compensatory ridges and tubular structures in the outer retina were seen in 6 eyes; 7 eyes with CMD and active leakage showed signs of subcortical fluid accumulation. Choroidal hypertrophy was seen in all affected eyes, with significant expansion of the great vascular layer and compression of the middle vascular layer and capillary layer. In 8 eyes treated with half-dose PDT, 6 eyes were ineffective at 3 months after treatment. The treatment was effective in 2 eyes. In 7 eyes that did not receive half-dose PDT, CMD structure did not improve significantly after 2 years of follow-up. The visual acuity decreased with the prolongation of the disease. ConclusionsCMD is more common in cCSC with a long course of disease, which has significant effects on vision and poor prognosis. Fundus color photography shows that the reflection in the macular area of the pole is weakened or disappeared, which may be combined with macular abnormal pigmentation. IR and AF examination show uneven fluorescence in macular area. The green signal in macular area is not uniform according to MC inspection. FFA shows strong fluorescence caused by diffuse permeable fluorescence and fluorescein leakage in active lesions. OCT examination shows that multiple small sacs or connections between sacs were broken and fused, and RPE atrophied to varying degrees.
Purpose To evaluate shortterm visual acuity effects of a single photodynamic therapy(PDT) treatment with Visudyne (CIBA Vision Corp, Duluth, Ga) for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods Definitely diagnostic AMD patients with classic CNV were treated with PDT (5 cases, 7 eyes). The data of visual acuity testing, ophthalmic examination, color photographs, optic coherence tomography, fluorescein angiograms and indocyanine green angiogram before photodynamic therapy and 1 week ,1 month after it were used to evaluate the effects of a single treatment of PDT with Visudyne. Results The visual acuity of all the treated eyes at the follow-up examination at 1 month after PDT were not reduced. Distinct reduction of fluorescein leakage from CNV was noted in all patients by 1 week after PDT. Fluorescein leakage from a portion of the CNV reappeared by 1 month after treatment in 2 eyes. Conclusion PDT with Visudyne achieved short-term cessation of fluorescein leakage from CNV without loss of vision or growth of classic CNV in some patwo ients with AMD.
