Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), featuring noninvasive, deeper penetration, low cost, and repeatability, is a promising therapy approach for deep-seated tumors. However, the general or only utilization of SDT shows low efficiency and unsatisfactory treatment outcomes due to the complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) and SDT process. To circumvent the issues, three feasible approaches for enhancing SDT-based therapeutic effects, including sonosensitizer optimization, strategies for conquering hypoxia TME, and combinational therapy are summarized, with a particular focus on the combination therapy of SDT with other therapy modalities, including chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, starvation therapy, gas therapy, and immunotherapy. In the end, the current challenges in SDT-based therapy on tumors are discussed and feasible approaches for enhanced therapeutic effects are provided. It is envisioned that this review will provide new insight into the strategic design of high-efficiency sonosensitizer-derived nanotheranostics, thereby augmenting SDT and accelerating the potential clinical transformation.

Abstract
The efficacy of electron-hole separation in a single sonosensitizer and the complexities of the tumor microenvironment (TME) present significant challenges to the effectiveness of sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Designing efficient sonosensitizers to enhance electron-hole separation and alleviate TME resistance is crucial yet challenging. Herein, we introduce a novel Z-scheme heterojunctions (HJs) sonosensitizer using Fe-doped carbon dots (CDs) as auxiliary semiconductors to sensitize cubic Cu2O (Fe-CDs@Cu2O) for the first time. Fe-CDs@Cu2O demonstrated enhanced SDT effects due to improved electron-hole separation. Additionally, the introduction of Fe ions in CDs synergistically enhances Fenton-like reactions with Cu ions in Cu2O, resulting in enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effects. Moreover, Fe-CDs@Cu2O exhibited rapid glutathione (GSH) depletion, effectively mitigating TME resistance. With high rates of 1O2 and OH generated by Fe-CDs@Cu2O, coupled with strong GSH depletion, single drug injection and ultrasound (US) irradiation effectively eliminate tumors. This innovative heterojunction sonosensitizer offers a promising pathway for clinical anti-tumor treatment.

Abstract
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is a heterogeneous group of breast cancer that accounts for 10-30% of breast cancer cases. Despite the ongoing development of current treatment methods, LABC remains a severe and complex public health concern around the world, thus prompting the urgent requirement for innovative diagnosis and treatment strategies. The primary treatment challenges are inoperable clinical status and ineffective local control methods. With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology, inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) exhibit a potential application prospect in diagnosing and treating breast cancer. Due to the unique inherent characteristics of INPs, different functions can be performed via appropriate modifications and constructions, thus making them suitable for different imaging technology strategies and treatment schemes. INPs can improve the efficacy of conventional local radiotherapy treatment. In the face of inoperable LABC, INPs have proposed new local therapeutic methods and fostered the evolution of novel strategies such as photothermal and photodynamic therapy, magnetothermal therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and multifunctional inorganic nanoplatform. This article reviews the advances of INPs in local accurate imaging and breast cancer treatment and offers insights to overcome the existing clinical difficulties in LABC management.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is applied to bladder cancer (BC) given its advantages of high depth of tissue penetration and nontoxicity due to the unique anatomical location of the bladder near the abdominal surface. However, low electron-hole separation efficiency and wide bandgap of sonosensitizers limit the effectiveness of SDT. This study aims to develop a TiO2-Ru-PEG Schottky heterojunction sonosensitizer with high electron-hole separation and narrow bandgap for SDT in BC. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experiments collectively demonstrate that the bandgap of TiO2-Ru-PEG is reduced due to the Schottky heterojunction with the characteristic of crystalline-amorphous interface formed by the deposition of ruthenium (Ru) within the shell layer of TiO2. Thanks to the enhancement of oxygen adsorption and the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs, TiO2-Ru-PEG promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under ultrasound (US) irradiation, resulting in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of bladder tumor cells. The in vivo results prove that TiO2-Ru-PEG boosted the subcutaneous and orthotopic bladder tumor models while exhibiting good safety. This study adopts the ruthenium complex for optimizing sonosensitizers, contributing to the progress of SDT improvement strategies and presenting a paradigm for BC therapy.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as a promising non-invasive anti-tumor means features the preferable penetration depth, which nevertheless, usually can't work without sonosensitizers. Sonosensitizers produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of ultrasound to directly kill tumor cells, and concurrently activate anti-tumor immunity especially after integration with tumor microenvironment (TME)-engineered nanobiotechnologies and combined therapy. Current sonosensitizers are classified into organic and inorganic ones, and current most reviews only cover organic sonosensitizers and highlighted their anti-tumor applications. However, there have few specific reviews that focus on inorganic sonosensitizers including their design principles, microenvironment regulation, etc. In this review, inorganic sonosensitizers are first classified according to their design rationales rather than composition, and the action rationales and underlying chemistry features are highlighted. Afterward, what and how TME is regulated based on the inorganic sonosensitizers-based SDT nanoplatform with an emphasis on the TME targets-engineered nanobiotechnologies are elucidated. Additionally, the combined therapy and their applications in non-cancer diseases are also outlined. Finally, the setbacks and challenges, and proposed the potential solutions and future directions is pointed out. This review provides a comprehensive and detailed horizon on inorganic sonosensitizers, and will arouse more attentions on SDT.

Abstract
The exploration of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as a possible replacement for antibiotics by creating reactive oxygen species (ROS) is suggested as a non-drug-resistant theranostic method. However, the low-efficiency ROS generation and complex tumor microenvironment which can deplete ROS and promote tumor growth will cause the compromised antibacterial efficacy of SDT. Herein, through an oxygen vacancy engineering strategy, TiO2- x microspheres with an abundance of Ti3+ are synthesized using a straightforward reductant co-assembly approach. The narrow bandgaps and Ti3+/Ti4+-mediated multiple-enzyme catalytic activities of the obtained TiO2- x microspheres make them suitable for use as sonosensitizers and nanozymes. When graphene quantum dot (GQD) nanoantibiotics are deposited on TiO2- x microspheres, the resulting GQD/TiO2- x shows an increased production of ROS, which can be ascribed to the accelerated separation of electron-hole pairs, as well as the peroxidase-like catalytic activity mediated by Ti3+, and the depletion of glutathione mediated by Ti4+. Moreover, the catalytic activities of TiO2- x microspheres are amplified by the heterojunctions-accelerated carrier transfer. In addition, GQDs can inhibit Topo I, displaying strong antibacterial activity and further enhancing the antibacterial activity. Collectively, the combination of GQD/TiO2- x-mediated SDT/NCT with nanoantibiotics can result in a synergistic effect, allowing for multimodal antibacterial treatment that effectively promotes wound healing.

Abstract
Improving reaction selectivity is the next target for nanozymes to mimic natural enzymes. Currently, the majority of strategies in this field are exclusively applicable to metal-organic-based or organic-based nanozymes, while limited in regulating metal oxide-based semiconductor nanozymes. Herein, taking semiconductor Co3O4 as an example, a heterojunction strategy to precisely regulate nanozyme selectivity by simultaneously regulating three vital factors including band structure, metal valence state, and oxygen vacancy content is proposed. After introducing MnO2 to form Z-scheme heterojunctions with Co3O4 nanoparticles, the catalase (CAT)-like and peroxidase (POD)-like activities of Co3O4 can be precisely regulated since the introduction of MnO2 affects the position of the conduction bands, preserves Co in a higher oxidation state (Co3+), and increases oxygen vacancy content, enabling Co3O4-MnO2 exhibit improved CAT-like activity and reduced POD-like activity. This study proposes a strategy for improving reaction selectivity of Co3O4, which contributes to the development of metal oxide-based semiconductor nanozymes.

Abstract
Intractable infected microenvironments caused by drug-resistant bacteria stalls the normal course of wound healing. Sono-piezodynamic therapy (SPT) is harnessed to combat pathogenic bacteria, but the superabundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during SPT inevitably provoke severe inflammatory response, hindering tissue regeneration. Consequently, an intelligent nanocatalytic membrane composed of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and black phosphorus /V2C MXene bio-heterojunctions (2D2-bioHJs) is devised. Under ultrasonication, 2D2-bioHJs effectively eliminate drug-resistant bacteria by disrupting metabolism and electron transport chain (ETC). When ultrasonication ceases, they enable the elimination of SPT-generated ROS. The 2D2-bioHJs act as a "lever" that effectively achieves a balance between ROS generation and annihilation, delivering both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to the engineered membrane. More importantly, in vivo assays corroborate that the nanocatalytic membranes transform the stalled chronic wound environment into a regenerative one by eradicating the bacterial population, dampening the NF-κB inflammatory pathway and promoting angiogenesis. As envisaged, this work demonstrates a novel tactic to arm membranes with programmed antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects to remedy refractory infected wounds from drug-fast bacteria.

Abstract
Immunotherapy harnesses the inherent immune system in the body to generate systemic antitumor immunity, offering a promising modality for defending against cancer. However, tumor immunosuppression and evasion seriously restrict the immune response rates in clinical settings. Catalytic nanomedicines can transform tumoral substances/metabolites into therapeutic products in situ, offering unique advantages in antitumor immunotherapy. Through catalytic reactions, both tumor eradication and immune regulation can be simultaneously achieved, favoring the development of systemic antitumor immunity. In recent years, with advancements in catalytic chemistry and nanotechnology, catalytic nanomedicines based on nanozymes, photocatalysts, sonocatalysts, Fenton catalysts, electrocatalysts, piezocatalysts, thermocatalysts and radiocatalysts have been rapidly developed with vast applications in cancer immunotherapy. This review provides an introduction to the fabrication of catalytic nanomedicines with an emphasis on their structures and engineering strategies. Furthermore, the catalytic substrates and state-of-the-art applications of nanocatalysts in cancer immunotherapy have also been outlined and discussed. The relationships between nanostructures and immune regulating performance of catalytic nanomedicines are highlighted to provide a deep understanding of their working mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, the challenges and development trends are revealed, aiming to provide new insights for the future development of nanocatalysts in catalytic immunotherapy.

Abstract
In this study, Sb2S3/In2S3/TiO2 (SIT) heterojunction photocatalysts were prepared by a simple two-step hydrothermal method and applied to the photocatalytic degradation of levofloxacin (LEV). After 160 min of reaction under visible light, the SIT heterojunction photocatalyst degraded 10 mg L-1 LEV at a rate of 86.7%. The degradation of LEV follows pseudo-first-order kinetics with a rate constant 1.16 × 10-2 min-1, which is 1.42, 1.22 and 1.05 times higher than that of TiO2, SI and IT, respectively. Meanwhile, the SIT photocatalysts also showed high photocatalytic activity for other antibiotics. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the ternary heterostructures was attributed to the full-spectrum response and the synergistic effect of the dual Z-type heterojunctions, which improved the visible light absorption and facilitated the charge separation. In addition, ˙OH and ˙O2- play a dominant role in the photodegradation process. This work contributes to the design of novel photocatalytic materials with dual Z-type heterojunctions and efficient photocatalysts for the degradation of antibiotics.

Abstract
Albeit nanozymes-based tumor catalytic therapy (NCT) relies on endogenous chemical reactions that could achieve tumor microenvironment (TME)-specialized reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, the unsatisfactory catalytic activity of nanozymes accompanied by complex TME poses a barrier to the therapeutic effect of NCT. Herein, a one-step in situ synthesis strategy is reported to construct ternary Ru/TiO2- x @TiCN heterojunctions through oxidative conversion of TiCN nanosheets (NSs) to TiO2- x NSs and reductive deposition of Ru3+ to Ru nanoparticles. The narrow bandgap and existence of heterojunctions enhance the ultrasound-activated ROS generation of Ru/TiO2- x @TiCN because of the accelerated electron transfer and inhibits electron-hole pair recombination. The augmented ROS production efficiency is achieved by Ru/TiO2- x @TiCN with triple enzyme-like activities, which amplifies the ROS levels in a cascade manner through the catalytic decomposition of endogenous H2 O2 to relieve hypoxia and heterojunction-mediated NCT, as well as depletion of overexpressed glutathione. The satisfactory therapeutic effects of Ru/TiO2- x @TiCN heterojunctions are achieved through synergetic sonodynamic therapy and NCT, which achieve the complete elimination of tumors without recurrence. This strategy highlights the potential of in situ synthesis of semiconductor heterojunctions as enhanced sonosensitizers and nanozymes for efficient tumor therapy.

Abstract
Treating cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, with traditional treatment options often being limited by poor therapeutic outcomes and unacceptable side effects. Nanocatalytic therapy activates tumor-localized catalytic reactions in situ via nontoxic or minimally toxic nanocatalysts responding to unique cues from the tumor microenvironment or external stimuli. In particular, sonocatalytic cancer therapy is a promising approach that has emerged as a potential solution to this problem through the combination of ultrasound waves and catalytic materials to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. Compared to light, ultrasound exhibits higher spatial precision, lower energy attenuation, and superior tissue penetrability, furnishing more energy to catalysts. Multidimensional modulation of nanocatalyst structures and properties is pivotal to maximizing catalytic efficiency given constraints in external stimulative energy as well as substrate types and levels. In this review, we discuss the various theories and mechanisms underlying sonocatalytic cancer therapy, as well as advanced catalysts that have been developed for this application. Additionally, we explore the design of sonocatalytic cancer therapy systems, including the use of heterojunction catalysts and the optimal conditions for achieving maximum therapeutic effects. Finally, we highlight the potential benefits of sonocatalytic cancer therapy over traditional cancer treatments, including its noninvasive nature and lower toxicity.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can generate reactive oxygen species to kill cancer cells by activating sonosensitizers under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Nevertheless, its application is greatly limited by low quantum yield of sonosensitizers, high levels of endogenous glutathione (GSH) and tumor hypoxia. Herein, a GSH-activated sonosensitizers with synergistic therapy effect (chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and SDT) are developed by depositing Fe(III)-artemisinin infinite coordination polymers (Fe(III)-ART CPs) in pores of mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). The formed Fe(III)-ART-TiO2 NPs have high sono-induced electron-hole separation efficiency because the deposited Fe(III)-ART CPs can provide isolated intermediate bands to capture sono-induced electrons in TiO2 NPs. Meanwhile, Fe3+ in Fe(III)-ART-TiO2 NPs are reduced to Fe2+ by GSH with oxygen-deficient sites generated to further capture sono-induced electrons in TiO2 NPs. Based on this, the reaction efficiency between water molecules and sono-induced holes is high enough to generate numerous hydroxyl radicals (•OH) without oxygen participated for overcoming tumor hypoxia. Additionally, through consuming GSH, the generated Fe2+ can catalyze ART to produce C-centered free radicals for CDT. Owing to these characteristics, Fe(III)-ART-TiO2 NPs show significant tumor suppression ability and good biocompatibility in vivo. The strategy of using CDT agent to modify sonosensitizers offers new options to improve SDT effect without introducing harmful substances.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a physical therapy that utilizes critical sonosensitizers triggered by ultrasound to achieve an effective non-invasive tumor treatment. However, the inadequate sonodynamic efficacy and low responsive activities of traditional inorganic sonosensitizers have hindered its practical application. Here, we rationally design a platinum-zinc oxide (PtZnO) sonosensitizer to significantly enhance the efficacy of SDT through its inherent bandgap structure and dual-nanozyme activities. The PtZnO possesses a narrow bandgap (2.89 eV) and an appropriate amount of oxygen defects, which promote the efficiency of electrons and holes separation and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under US irradiation. Simultaneously, the PtZnO exhibits both catalase-like and peroxidase-like activities, which effectively catalyze endogenous H2O2 into a large number of O2 and toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thus achieving an efficient enhancement of SDT and catalytic therapy. Moreover, the PtZnO has significant glutathione consumption performance, further amplifying the oxidative stress. Ultimately, the PtZnO achieves a triple ROS amplification effect, with the yields of singlet oxygen (1O2) and •OH reaching 859.1 % and 614.4 %, respectively, inducing a highly effective sono-catalytic therapy with a remarkable tumor inhibition rate of 98.1 %. This study expands the application of ZnO semiconductor heterojunctions in the nanomedicine area, and the simple yet efficient design of the PtZnO provides a strategy for the development of sonosensitizers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A platinum-zinc oxide (PtZnO) heterojunction sonosensitizer is constructed with dual-nanozyme activities and achieves a triple ROS amplification effect, leading to an efficient synergistic sono-catalytic therapy. The PtZnO owns an inherent narrow bandgap and abundant oxygen defects, thus exhibiting an efficient sonosensitizer performance. It also possesses both catalase-like and peroxidase-like activities, which effectively catalyze the endogenous H2O2 into a large quantity of O2 and toxic hydroxyl radicals, thereby enhancing the SDT and catalytic therapy. Furthermore, its prominent glutathione consumption performance further amplifies oxidative stress. The yields of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals reach up to 859.1 % and 614.4 %, respectively, inducing a highly effective sono-catalytic therapy with an impressive tumor inhibition rate of 98.1 %.

Abstract
The journey of ceramics in medicine has been synchronized with an evolution from the first generation-alumina, zirconia, etc.-to the third -3D scaffolds. There is an up-and-coming member called oxygen-deficient or colored bioceramics, which have recently found their way through biomedical applications. The oxygen vacancy steers the light absorption toward visible and near infrared regions, making the colored bioceramics multifunctional-therapeutic, diagnostic, and regenerative. Oxygen-deficient bioceramics are capable of turning light into heat and reactive oxygen species for photothermal and photodynamic therapies, respectively, and concomitantly yield infrared and photoacoustic images. Different types of oxygen-deficient bioceramics have been recently developed through various synthesis routes. Some of them like TiO2- x , MoO3- x , and WOx have been more investigated for biomedical applications, whereas the rest have yet to be scrutinized. The most prominent advantage of these bioceramics over the other biomaterials is their multifunctionality endowed with a change in the microstructure. There are some challenges ahead of this category discussed at the end of the present review. By shedding light on this recently born bioceramics subcategory, it is believed that the field will undergo a big step further as these platforms are naturally multifunctional.

In this comprehensive review, the sonocatalytic optimization of diversified Ti-based nanoplatforms, including defect engineering, plasmon resonance modulation, heterojunction, modulating tumor microenvironment, as well as the development of synergistic therapeutic modalities is mainly focused. The state-of-the-art Ti-based nanoplatforms ranging from preparation process to the extensive medical applications are summarized and highlighted, with the goal of elaborating on future research prospects and providing a perspective on the bench-to-beside translation of these sonocatalytic optimization tactics.

Abstract
As a noninvasive treatment, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has been widely used in the treatment of tumors because of its ability to penetrate deep tissue with few side effects. As the key factor of SDT, it is meaningful to design and synthesize efficient sonosensitizers. Compared with organic sonosensitizers, inorganic sonosensitizers can be easily excited by ultrasound. In addition, inorganic sonosensitizers with stable properties, good dispersion, and long blood circulation time, have great development potential in SDT. This review summarizes possible mechanisms of SDT (sonoexcitation and ultrasonic cavitation) in detail. Based on these mechanisms, the design and synthesis of inorganic nanosonosensitizers can be divided into three categories: traditional inorganic semiconductor sonosensitizers, enhanced inorganic semiconductor sonosensitizers, and cavitation-enhanced sonosensitizers. Subsequently, the current efficient construction methods of sonosensitizers are summarized including accelerated semiconductor charge separation and enhanced production of reactive oxygen species through ultrasonic cavitation. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of different inorganic sonosensitizers and detailed strategies are systematically discussed on how to enhance SDT. Hopefully, this review could provide new insights into the design and synthesis of efficient inorganic nano-sonosensitizers for SDT.

[PMID: 37569377 PMCID: PMC10418994 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241512001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging non-invasive cancer treatment method in the field of nanomedicine, which has the advantages of deep penetration, good therapeutic efficacy, and minimal damage to normal tissues. Sonosensitizers play a crucial role in the process of SDT, as their structure and properties directly determine the treatment outcome. Inorganic sonosensitizers, with their high stability and longer circulation time in the human body, have great potential in SDT. In this review, the possible mechanisms of SDT including the ultrasonic cavitation, reactive oxygen species generation, and activation of immunity are briefly discussed. Then, the latest research progress on inorganic sonosensitizers is systematically summarized. Subsequently, strategies for optimizing treatment efficacy are introduced, including combination therapy and image-guided therapy. The challenges and future prospects of sonodynamic therapy are discussed. It is hoped that this review will provide some guidance for the screening of inorganic sonosensitizers.

Abstract
Although NIR-II laser-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) is considered as an emerging strategy for tumor therapy, its therapeutic effects are still seriously hampered by low photothermal conversion efficacy, limited tissue penetration depth, and inevitable damage to adjoining healthy tissues. Herein, we report a mild second-near-infrared (NIR-II) photothermal-augmented nanocatalytic therapy (NCT) nanoplatform based on CD@Co3O4 heterojunctions by depositing NIR-II-responsive carbon dots (CDs) onto the surface of Co3O4 nanozymes. The as-prepared Co3O4 nanozymes possess multi-enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity including peroxidase, catalase, and glutathione-peroxidase to realize the cascade amplification of ROS levels owing to the presence of multivalent Co2+ and Co3+. CDs with a high NIR-II photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) (51.1%) enable the realization of mild PTT (∼43 °C), which could not only avoid damage to adjoining healthy tissues but also enhance the multi-enzyme-mimic catalytic activity of Co3O4 nanozymes. More importantly, the NIR-II photothermal properties of CDs and the multi-enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity of Co3O4 nanozymes are greatly augmented by the fabrication of heterojunctions due to the induced localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) and accelerated carrier transfer. On the basis of these advantages, satisfactory mild PTT-amplified NCT is accomplished. Our work presents a promising approach for mild NIR-II photothermal-amplified NCT based on semiconductor heterojunctions.

ROS-generating alginate-coated gold nanorods as biocompatible nanosonosensitisers for effective sonodynamic therapy of cancer. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 96:106437. [PMID: 37187119 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) emerges as a promising non-invasive alternative for eradicating malignant tumours. However, its therapeutic efficacy remains limited due to the lack of sonosensitisers with high potency and biosafety. Previously, gold nanorods (AuNRs) have been extensively studied for their applications in photodynamic or photothermal cancer therapy, but their sonosensitising properties are largely unexplored. Here, we reported the applicability of alginate-coated AuNRs (AuNRsALG) with improved biocompatibility profiles as promising nanosonosensitisers for SDT for the first time. AuNRsALG were found stable under ultrasound irradiation (1.0 W/cm2, 5 min) and maintained structural integrity for 3 cycles of irradiation. The exposure of the AuNRsALG to ultrasound irradiation (1.0 W/cm2, 5 min) was shown to enhance the cavitation effect significantly and generate a 3 to 8-fold higher amount of singlet oxygen (1O2) than other reported commercial titanium dioxide nanosonosensitisers. AuNRsALG exerted dose-dependent sonotoxicity on human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in vitro, with ∼ 81% cancer cell killing efficacy at a sub-nanomolar level (IC50 was 0.68 nM) predominantly through apoptosis. The protein expression analysis showed significant DNA damage and downregulation of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, suggesting AuNRsALG induced cell death through the mitochondrial pathway. The addition of mannitol, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, inhibited cancer-killing effect of AuNRsALG-mediated SDT, further verifying that the sonotoxicity of AuNRsALG is driven by the production of ROS. Overall, these results highlight the potential application of AuNRsALG as an effective nanosonosensitising agent in clinical settings.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive catalytic therapy based on nano-catalysts has attracted much attention in the field of biomedicine for tumor therapy, due to its excellent and unique properties. However, the complex tumor microenvironment conditions and the rapid charge recombination in the catalyst limit catalytic therapy's effectiveness and further development. Effective heterojunction nanomaterials are constructed to address these problems to improve catalytic performance. Specifically, on the one hand, the band gap of the material is adjusted through the heterojunction structure to promote the charge separation efficiency under exogenous stimulation and further improve the catalytic capacity. On the other hand, the construction of a heterojunction structure can not only preserve the function of the original catalyst but also achieve significantly enhanced synergistic therapy ability. This review summarized the construction and functions of stimuli-responsive heterojunction nanomaterials under the excitation of X-rays, visible-near infrared light, and ultrasound in recent years, and further introduces their application in cancer therapy. Hopefully, the summary of stimuli-responsive heterojunction nanomaterials' applications will help researchers promote the development of nanomaterials in cancer therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effect of monotherapy in cancer is frequently influenced by the tumor's unique hypoxic microenvironment, insufficient drug concentration at the treatment site, and tumour cells' increased drug tolerance. In this work, we expect to design a novel therapeutic nanoprobe with the ability to solve these problems and improve the efficacy of antitumor therapy. METHODS We have prepared a hollow manganese dioxide nanoprobes loaded with photosensitive drug IR780 for the photothermal/photodynamic/chemodynamic co-therapy of liver cancer. RESULTS The nanoprobe demonstrates efficient thermal transformation ability under a single laser irradiation, and under the synergistic influence of photo heat, accelerates the Fenton/ Fenton-like reaction efficiency based on Mn2+ ions to produce more ·OH under the synergistic effect of photo heat. Moreover, the oxygen released under the degradation of manganese dioxide further promotes the ability of photosensitive drugs to produce singlet oxygen (ROS). The nanoprobe has been found to efficiently destroy tumour cells in vivo and in vitro experiments when used in combination with photothermal/photodynamic/ chemodynamic modes of treatment under laser irradiation. CONCLUSION In all, this research shows that a therapeutic strategy based on this nanoprobe could be a viable alternative for cancer treatment in the near future.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant bacteria caused by the unlimited overuse of antibiotics pose a great challenge to global health. An antibacterial method based on reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the effective strategies without inducing bacterial resistance. Owing to the ability of generating ROS, piezocatalytic material-mediated sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has drawn much attention. However, its major challenge is the low ROS generation efficiency in the piezocatalytic process due to the poor charge carrier concentration of piezoelectric materials. Vacancy engineering can regulate the charge density and largely promote ROS generation under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Herein, a US-responsive self-doped barium titanate with controlled oxygen vacancy (Vo) concentrations was successfully synthesized through a facile thermal reduction treatment at different temperatures (i.e., 350, 400, and 450 °C), and the corresponding samples were named as BTO-350, BTO-400, and BTO-450, respectively. Then, the effect of Vo concentrations on ROS generation efficiency during the piezocatalytic process was systematically studied. And BTO-400 was found to possess the highest piezocatalytic activity and excellent sonodynamic antibacterial performance against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, its antibacterial mechanism was confirmed that the ROS generated under US could damage bacterial cell membrane and cause considerable leakage of cytoplasmic components and irreversible death of bacteria. Notably, the in vivo results illustrated that the BTO-400 could serve as an effective antibacterial agent and accelerate skin healing via SDT therapy. In all, the Vo defect-modified nano-BaTiO3 has a noticeable potential to induce a rapid and efficient sterilization as well as skin tissue repair by SDT.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has considerably revolutionized the healthcare sector as a viable noninvasive therapeutic procedure. It employs a combination of low-intensity ultrasound and chemical entities, known as a sonosensitizer, to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for cancer and antimicrobial therapies. With nanotechnology, several unique nanoplatforms are introduced as a sonosensitizers, including, titanium-based nanomaterials, thanks to their high biocompatibility, catalytic efficiency, and customizable physicochemical features. Additionally, developing titanium-based sonosensitizers facilitates the integration of SDT with other treatment modalities (for example, chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and immunotherapy), hence increasing overall therapeutic results. This review summarizes the most recent developments in cancer therapy and tissue engineering using titanium nanoplatforms mediated SDT. The synthesis strategies and biosafety aspects of Titanium-based nanoplatforms for SDT are also discussed. Finally, various challenges and prospects for its further development and potential clinical translation are highlighted.

Abstract
Nanozymes have shown promising potential in disease treatment owing to the advantages of low-cost, facile fabrication, and high stability. However, the highly complex tumor microenvironment (TME) and inherent low catalytic activity severely restrict the clinical applications of nanozymes. Herein, a novel mild hyperthermia-enhanced nanocatalytic therapy platform based on Z-scheme heterojunction nanozymes by depositing N-doped carbon dots (CDs) onto Nb2 C nanosheets is constructed. CD@Nb2 C nanozymes not only display outstanding photothermal effects in the safe and efficient NIR-II window but also possess triple enzyme-mimic activities to obtain amplified ROS levels. The triple enzyme-mimic activities and NIR-II photothermal properties of CD nanozymes are enhanced by the construction of Z-scheme heterojunctions owing to the accelerated carrier transfer process. More importantly, the introduction of mild hyperthermia can further improve the peroxidase-mimic and catalase-mimic activities as well as the glGSH depletion abilities of CD@Nb2 C nanozymes, thereby producing more ROS to efficiently inhibit tumor growth. The combined therapy effect of CD@Nb2 C nanozymes through mild NIR-II photothermal-enhanced nanocatalytic therapy can achieve complete tumor eradication. This work highlights the efficient tumor therapy potential of heterojunction nanozymes.

Abstract
The most important aspect of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is the harnessing of Fenton or Fenton-like chemistry for cancer therapy within the tumor microenvironment, which occurs because of the moderate acidity and overexpressed H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) produced within tumor cells via Fenton and Fenton-like reactions cause cancer cell death. Reactive oxygen species-mediated CDT demonstrates a desired anticancer impact without the need for external stimulation or the development of drug resistance. Cancer therapy based on CDT is known as a viable cancer therapy modality. This review discusses the most recent CDT advancements and provides some typical instances. As a result, potential methods for further improving CDT efficiency under the guidance of Fenton chemistry are offered.
