Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy effect can be greatly enhanced by other methods to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), which has profoundly affected immunotherapy as a highly efficient paradigm. However, these treatments have significant limitations, either by causing damage of the immune system or limited to superficial tumors. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can induce ICD to promote immunotherapy without affecting the immune system because of its excellent spatiotemporal selectivity and low side effects. Nevertheless, SDT is still limited by low reactive oxygen species yield and the complex tumor microenvironment. Recently, some emerging SDT-based nanomedicines have made numerous attractive and encouraging achievements in the field of cancer immunotherapy due to high immunotherapeutic efficiency. However, this cross-cutting field of research is still far from being widely explored due to huge professional barriers. Herein, the characteristics of the tumor immune microenvironment and the mechanisms of ICD are firstly systematically summarized. Subsequently, the therapeutic mechanism of SDT is fully summarized, and the advantages and limitations of SDT are discussed. The representative advances of SDT-based nanomedicines for cancer immunotherapy are further highlighted. Finally, the application prospects and challenges of SDT-based immunotherapy in future clinical translation are discussed.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to discuss whether gold nanoparticles (GNPs) play an auxo-action on ciprofloxacin (CIP)-mediated sonodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (SACT) in vitro. The measuring criterion of SACT, bactericidal efficiency, was measured by plate colony-counting methods. According to research findings, the duration of ultrasound (US) exposure, solution temperature and CIP:GNPs concentration were all critical influencing factors of SACT. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy revealed that the group of CIP:GNPs combined with US showed the most severe damaged effect on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in the loss of their typical microbial morphology and the disclosure of contents. Therefore, the above experimental results confirmed initially that GNPs could enhance the bacteriostasis of CIP-mediated SACT. And the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection assays proved that this acceleration might be connected to the ROS generated through the ultrasonic mechanics. In conclusion, GNPs would be regarded as a promising auxiliary material for SACT, since they are both used to be the medication carriers and sonosensitizer accelerants.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease, the treatment of which is challenging due to the formation of cellulose-containing biofilms by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Herein, a composite nanoparticle loaded with cellulase (CL) and levofloxacin (LEV) (CL@LEV-NPs) was fabricated and then combined with ultrasound (US) irradiation to promote chemotherapy and sonodynamic antimicrobial effects on Bacillus Calmette-Guérin bacteria (BCG, a mode of MTB) biofilms. The CL@LEV-NPs containing polylactic acid-glycolic acid (PLGA) as the shell and CL and LEV as the core were encapsulated via double ultrasonic emulsification. The synthesized CL@LEV-NPs were uniformly round with an average diameter of 196.2 ± 2.89 nm, and the zeta potential of -14.96 ± 5.35 mV, displaying high biosafety and sonodynamic properties. Then, BCG biofilms were treated with ultrasound and CL@LEV-NPs separately or synergistically in vivo and in vitro. We found that ultrasound significantly promoted biofilms permeability and activated CL@LEV-NPs to generate large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in biofilms. The combined treatment of CL@LEV-NPs and US exhibited excellent anti-biofilm effects, as shown by significant reduction of biofilm biomass value and viability, destruction of biofilm architecture in vitro, elimination of biofilms from subcutaneous implant, and remission of local inflammation in vivo. Our study suggested that US combined with composite drug-loaded nanoparticles would be a novel non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment modality for the elimination of biofilm-associated infections caused by MTB.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance, and, in a broader perspective, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), continues to evolve and spread beyond all boundaries. As a result, infectious diseases have become more challenging or even impossible to treat, leading to an increase in morbidity and mortality. Despite the failure of conventional, traditional antimicrobial therapy, in the past two decades, no novel class of antibiotics has been introduced. Consequently, several novel alternative strategies to combat these (multi-) drug-resistant infectious microorganisms have been identified. The purpose of this review is to gather and consider the strategies that are being applied or proposed as potential alternatives to traditional antibiotics. These strategies include combination therapy, techniques that target the enzymes or proteins responsible for antimicrobial resistance, resistant bacteria, drug delivery systems, physicochemical methods, and unconventional techniques, including the CRISPR-Cas system. These alternative strategies may have the potential to change the treatment of multi-drug-resistant pathogens in human clinical settings.

Abstract
Recent advances in ultrasound (US) have shown its great potential in biomedical applications as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The coupling of US-assisted drug delivery systems with nanobiomaterials possessing tailor-made functions has been shown to remove the limitations of conventional drug delivery systems. The low-frequency US has significantly enhanced the targeted drug delivery effect and efficacy, reducing limitations posed by conventional treatments such as a limited therapeutic window. The acoustic cavitation effect induced by the US-mediated microbubbles (MBs) has been reported to replace drugs in certain acute diseases such as ischemic stroke. This review briefly discusses the US principles, with particular attention to the recent advancements in drug delivery applications. Furthermore, US-assisted drug delivery coupled with nanobiomaterials to treat different diseases (cancer, neurodegenerative disease, diabetes, thrombosis, and COVID-19) are discussed in detail. Finally, this review covers the future perspectives and challenges on the applications of US-mediated nanobiomaterials.

Abstract
Purpose The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) poses a significant challenge to the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Sonodynamic antibacterial chemotherapy (SACT) combined with sonosensitizer-loaded nanoparticles with targeted therapeutic function is highly expected to eliminate bacteria without fear of drug resistance. This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial effect and underlying mechanism of levofloxacin-loaded nanosonosensitizer with targeted therapeutic function against Bacillus Calmette-Guérin bacteria (BCG, an MTB model). Methods This study developed levofloxacin-loaded PLGA-PEG (poly lactide-co-glycolide-polyethylene glycol) nanoparticles with BM2 aptamer conjugation on its surface using the crosslinking agents EDC and NHS (BM2-LVFX-NPs). The average diameter, zeta potential, morphology, drug-loading properties, and drug release efficiency of the BM2-LVFX-NPs were investigated. In addition, the targeting and toxicity of BM2-LVFX-NPs in the subcutaneous BCG infection model were evaluated. The biosafety, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cellular phagocytic effect, and antibacterial effect of BM2-LVFX-NPs in the presence of ultrasound stimulations (42 kHz, 0.67 W/cm2, 5 min) were also systematically evaluated. Results BM2-LVFX-NPs not only specifically recognized BCG bacteria in vitro but also gathered accurately in the lesion tissues. Drugs loaded in BM2-LVFX-NPs with the ultrasound-responsive feature were effectively released compared to the natural state. In addition, BM2-LVFX-NPs exhibited significant SACT efficiency with higher ROS production levels than others, resulting in the effective elimination of bacteria in vitro. Meanwhile, in vivo experiments, compared with other options, BM2-LVFX-NPs also exhibited an excellent therapeutic effect in a rat model with BCG infection after exposure to ultrasound. Conclusion Our work demonstrated that a nanosonosensitizer formulation with LVFX could efficiently translocate therapeutic drugs into the cell and improve the bactericidal effects under ultrasound, which could be a promising strategy for targeted therapy for MTB infections with high biosafety.

Abstract
Sonodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (SACT), which relies on a combination of low-intensity ultrasound and chemotherapeutic agents termed sonosensitizers, has been explored as a promising alternative for microbial inactivation. Such treatment has superior penetration ability, high target specificity, and can overcome resistance conferred by the local microenvironment. Taken of these advantages, SACT has been endowed with an extensive application prospect in the past decade and attracted more and more attention. This review focusses on the current understanding of the mechanism of SACT, the interaction of sonodynamic action on different microbes, the factors affecting the efficacy of SACT, discusses the findings of recent works on SACT, and explores further prospects for SACT. Thus, a better understanding of sonodynamic killing facilitates the scientific community and industry personnel to establish a novel strategy to combat microbial burden.

Abstract
As a novel noninvasive therapeutic modality combining low-intensity ultrasound and sonosensitizers, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is promising for clinical translation due to its high tissue-penetrating capability to treat deeper lesions intractable by photodynamic therapy (PDT), which suffers from the major limitation of low tissue penetration depth of light. The effectiveness and feasibility of SDT are regarded to rely on not only the development of stable and flexible SDT apparatus, but also the screening of sonosensitizers with good specificity and safety. To give an outlook of the development of SDT equipment, the key technologies are discussed according to five aspects including ultrasonic dose settings, sonosensitizer screening, tumor positioning, temperature monitoring, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection. In addition, some state-of-the-art SDT multifunctional equipment integrating diagnosis and treatment for accurate SDT are introduced. Further, an overview of the development of sonosensitizers is provided from small molecular sensitizers to nano/microenhanced sensitizers. Several types of nanomaterial-augmented SDT are in discussion, including porphyrin-based nanomaterials, porphyrin-like nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials, and organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials with different strategies to improve SDT therapeutic efficacy. There is no doubt that the rapid development and clinical translation of sonodynamic therapy will be promoted by advanced equipment, smart nanomaterial-based sonosensitizer, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Abstract
The present study investiaged the enhancement of nonlinear optical properties of Protoporphyrin IX in photodynamic therapy using nano-droplet. To this end; absorbance, fluorescence, and nonlinear optical properties of Protoporphyrin IX were examined and results showed that dye aggregation and dielectric constant of solvent could change absorbance and fluorescence spectra. According to quantum mechanical perturbation theory, dipole moment of Protoporphyrin IX in solutions of water-ethanol was extracted. The values of nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refractive index of Protoporphyrin IX in AOT/Toluene/H2O were also reproted to be larger than aqueous solutions, due to polarity reduction of solvent as well as discount of Protoporphyrin IX aggregation in AOT/Toluene/H2O. Furthermore, the effect of cell culture media on the nonlinear optical properties of Protoporphyrin IX was analyzed and the results were compared with those of water. The photon correlation spectroscopy of solution also showed a growth in dye-droplet aggregation following the increase of Protoporphyrin IX concentration.

Abstract
It is difficult to effectively eradicate C. albicans using traditional antifungal agents, mainly because the low permeability of the C. albicans cell wall creates strong drug resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic fungicidal effect and the underlying mechanisms of low-frequency and low-intensity ultrasound combined with a treatment of amphotericin B-loaded nanoparticles (AmB-NPs) against C. albicans. AmB-NPs were prepared by a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) double emulsion method. C. albicans was treated by AmB-NPs combined with 42 kHz ultrasound irradiation at an intensity of 0.30 W/cm2 for 15 min. The results demonstrate that the application of ultrasound enhanced the antibacterial effectiveness of AmB-NPs (P < 0.01), and the antifungal efficiency increased significantly with increasing AmB concentration of drug-loaded nanoparticles under ultrasonic irradiation. Additionally, the mycelial morphology of C. albicans suffered from the most severe damage and loss of normal microbial morphology after the combined treatment of AmB-NPs and ultrasound, as revealed by electron microscope. Furthermore, we verified the safe use of low-frequency ultrasound on exposed skin and discussed the potential mechanism of ultrasound enhanced fungicidal activity. The results reveal that the mechanism may be associated with the ultrasound cavitation effect and an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Over the past 5 years, several studies showed that ultrasound, which is sound with a frequency>20 kHz, is able to kill bacteria by activating molecules termed sonosensitizers (SS) to produce reactive oxygen species, which are toxic to microbes. It is our opinion that this work opens up the potential for the development of a novel form of ultrasound-mediated antimicrobial therapy. Termed sonodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (SACT), we define this therapy as a regime where a SS is selectively delivered to target microbial cells and activated by ultrasound to induce the death of those microbial cells. Here, we review recent work on SACT, current understanding of its mechanisms, and future prospects for SACT as a therapeutically viable antimicrobial regime.

Abstract
In this paper, the bovine serum albumin (BSA) was selected as a target molecule, the sonodynamic damage to protein in the presence of promethazine hydrochloride (PMT) and its mechanism were studied by the means of absorption, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The results of hyperchromic effect of absorption spectra and quenching of intrinsic fluorescence spectra indicate that the ultrasound-induced BSA molecules damage is enhanced by PMT. The damage degree of BSA molecules increases with the increase of ultrasonic irradiation time and PMT concentration. The results of synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence and CD spectra confirmed that the synergistic effects of ultrasound and PMT induced the damage of BSA molecules. The results of oxidation-extraction photometry with several reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers indicate that the damage of BSA molecules could be mainly due to the generation of ROS and both (1)O(2) and OH are the important mediators of the ultrasound-induced BSA molecules damage in the presence of PMT.

Abstract
In this work, the antibacterial effect of fluoroquinolones (FQs) upon Escherichia coli (E.coli) was measured with and without application of 40 kHz ultrasound (US) stimulation. The research results demonstrated that simultaneous application of 40 kHz US apparently enhanced the antibacterial effectiveness of FQs. That is, the synergistic effect was observed and the bacterial viability was reduced when FQs and US were combined. In addition, various influencing factors, such as FQs drug concentration, US irradiation time and solution temperature, on the inhibition of E.coli were also investigated. The antibacterial activity was enhanced apparently with increasing of FQs drug concentration, US irradiation time and solution temperature. Furthermore, we discussed preliminarily the mechanism of US enhanced antibacterial activity. Results show that US can activate FQs to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) indeed, which are mainly determined as superoxide radical anion (·O(2)(-)) and hydroxyl radical (·OH).

Abstract
In recent years, sonodynamic activities of many drugs have attracted more and more attention of researchers. The correlative study will promote the development of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in anti-tumor treatment. In this work, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a protein model to investigate the intensifying effects of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) ultrasonically induced protein damage by UV-vis and fluorescence spectra. Meanwhile, the conformation of BSA is changed upon the addition of CPFX and metal ions under ultrasound (US) so that the damaging site of BSA is considered. Various influencing factors, such as US irradiation time, metal ions, solution temperature and ionic strength, on the ultrasonically induced BSA damage are discussed. It was showed that CPFX could enhance ultrasonically induced BSA damage. The damage degree of BSA was aggravated with the increasing of US irradiation time, solution temperature, ionic strength as well as the addition of metal ions. Furthermore, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in reaction system were detected by oxidation-extraction photometry (OEP). Experimental results also showed that US could activate CPFX to produce ROS, which were mainly determined as superoxide radical anion (.O2-) and hydroxyl radical (.OH).
