J Funct Biomater 2023; 15:6. [PMID: 38248673 PMCID: PMC10816806 DOI: 10.3390/jfb15010006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Y0.8-xGdxF3:Yb/Er mesocrystals with a biocompatible surface and diverse morphological characteristics were successfully synthesized using chitosan-assisted solvothermal processing. Their structural properties, studied using X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis, were further correlated with the up-conversion emission (λexc = 976 nm) recorded in function of temperature. Based on the change in the visible green emissions originating from the thermally coupled 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 levels of Er3+, the corresponding LIR was acquired in the physiologically relevant range of temperatures (25-50 °C). The detected absolute sensitivity of about 0.0042 °C-1, along with the low cytotoxicity toward both normal human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) and cancerous lung epithelial (A549) cells, indicate a potential for use in temperature sensing in biomedicine. Additionally, their enhanced internalization in cells, without suppression of cell viability, enabled in vitro labeling of cancer and healthy cells upon 976 nm laser irradiation.

Abstract
The ferrozine (FZ) assay is a vital oxidation state-specific colorimetric assay for the quantification of Fe2+ ions in environmental samples due to its sharp increase in absorbance at 562 nm upon addition of Fe2+. However, it has yet to be applied to corresponding fluoresence assays which typically offer higher sensitivites and lower detection limits. In this article we present for the first time its pairing with upconverting luminescent nanomaterials to enable detection of Fe2+via the inner filter effect using a low-power continuous wave diode laser (45 mW). Upon near infra-red excitation at 980 nm, the overlap of the upconversion emission of Er3+ at approximately 545 nm and the absorbance of the FZ:Fe2+ complex at 562 nm enabled measurement in the change of UCNP emission response as a function of Fe2+ concentration in a ratiometric manner. We first applied large, ultra-bright poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-capped Gd2O2S:Yb3+,Er3+ UCNPs upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) for the detection of Fe2+ using FZ as the acceptor. The probe displayed good selectivity and sensitivity for Fe2+, with a low limit of detection (LoD) of 2.74 μM. Analogous results employing smaller (31 nm) PAA-capped hexagonal-phase NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ UCNPs synthesised in our lab were achieved, with a lower LoD towards Fe2+ of 1.43 μM. These results illustrate how the ratiometric nature of the system means it is applicable over a range of particle sizes, brightnesses and nanoparticle host matrices. Preliminary investigations also found the probes capable of detecting micromolar concentrations of Fe2+ in turbid solutions.

Abstract
The high mortality of breast cancer is closely related to lymph node (LN) metastasis. Sentinel LNs (SLNs) are the first station where tumor cells metastasize through the lymphatic system. As such, achieving precise diagnosis of the early metastatic status of SLNs during surgery is of paramount importance for precision therapy of breast cancer. While invasive SLNs biopsy is the gold standard for evaluating the status of SLNs, its use is often time-consuming and may increase the risk of operation. It is still challenging to develop a means for rapid SLN metastasis diagnosis. Herein, NaGdF4:5%Nd@NaLuF4 rare earth nanoparticles (Gd:Nd-RENPs) with near-infrared-II (NIR-II) fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) properties were fabricated. With the nanoprobe, metastatic SLNs and lymph vessels (LVs) rapidly brighten and can be observed by the NIR-II imaging system, which is totally different from normal LNs and LVs. The remarkable contrast observed via NIR-II imaging serves to swiftly delineate metastatic SLNs from normal ones, subsequently guiding precise surgical resection of metastatic LNs in just 10 minutes. Furthermore, the consistency between the results obtained via MRI and NIR-II imaging further validates the dependability of this nanoprobe as a diagnostic tool for metastatic SLNs. Additionally, the Gd:Nd-RENPs exhibited good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we demonstrated the advantages and prospects of NIR-II imaging for intraoperative early SLN metastasis assessment and shed light on the potential of the dual-modal Gd:Nd-RENPs as a nanoprobe.

Abstract
Up-conversion (or anti-Stokes) luminescence refers to the phenomenon whereby materials emit high energy, short-wavelength light upon excitation at longer wavelengths. Lanthanide-doped up-conversion nanoparticles (Ln-UCNPs) are widely used in biomedicine due to their excellent physical and chemical properties such as high penetration depth, low damage threshold and light conversion ability. Here, the latest developments in the synthesis and application of Ln-UCNPs are reviewed. First, methods used to synthesize Ln-UCNPs are introduced, and four strategies for enhancing up-conversion luminescence are analyzed, followed by an overview of the applications in phototherapy, bioimaging and biosensing. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of Ln-UCNPs are summarized.

Abstract
A series of DyF3 nanoparticles samples were synthesized by a hydrothermal treatment in an autoclave at 140 °C, 160 °C, 200 °C, and 230 °C for 24 h. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility. It was found that DyF3 particles possessed an ellipsoidal shape and size varying from 16 to 225 nm. Moroever, the Curie temperature TC shifts to lower temperatures when the particle size decreases. For the first ime, the critical exponent of the correlation length (ν = 1.51 ± 0.25) and critical size (d0 = 1.2 ± 0.6 nm) for the dipole ferromagnet DyF3 has been determined experimentally by the finite-size-scaling theory.

Abstract
Nowadays, cancer poses a significant hazard to humans. Limitations in early diagnosis techniques not only result in a waste of healthcare resources but can even lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment, consequently reducing cure rates. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an imaging probe that can provide diagnostic information precisely and rapidly. Here, we used a simple hydrothermal method to design a multimodal imaging probe based on the excellent properties of rare-earth ions. Calcium fluoride co-doped with ytterbium, gadolinium, and neodymium (CaF2:Y,Gd,Nd) nanoparticles (NPs) is highly crystalline, homogeneous in morphology, and displays a high biosafety profile. In addition, in vitro and ex vivo experiments explored the multimodal imaging capability of CaF2:Y,Gd,Nd and demonstrated the efficient performance of CaF2:Y,Gd,Nd during NIR-II fluorescence/photoacoustic/magnetic resonance imaging. Collectively, our novel diagnosis nanoparticle will generate new ideas for the development of multifunctional nanoplatforms for disease diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) emitting BiVO4:Yb3+,Tm3+ nanoparticles are synthesized by a new solvothermal strategy using solvents of oleic acid and methanol. The obtained BiVO4:Yb3+,Tm3+ samples show an average particle size of ≈164 nm and exhibit an asymmetry monoclinic crystal structure of BiVO4. At NIR excitation of 980 nm, the BiVO4:Yb3+,Tm3+ sample exhibits a nearly single NIR emission at ≈796 nm with extremely weak blue emissions from Tm3+ ions. These high-energy visible emissions are absorbed by the semiconducting host of BiVO4 that possesses a bandgap of ≈2.2 eV. Therefore, the NIR excitation to a single intense NIR emission fluorescent BiVO4 materials could be a potential ideal probe for deep-tissue high-resolution bioimaging. To validate the ability of BiVO4 materials for bio-applications, we conduct the cytotoxicity experiments. The results show that the cytotoxicity of HeLa cells is negligible at a concentration of 0.2 mg/ml of BiVO4:Yb3+,Tm3+ , and the cell viability approaches 90% at a high dosage of 0.5 mg/ml. The Daphnia magna and Zebrafish treated with nanoparticles (0.5 mg/ml) display bright NIR emission without any background, indicating the excellent in vivo fluorescent imaging capacity of BiVO4:Yb3+,Tm3+ nanoparticles. Our findings offer an environment-friendly strategy to synthesize BiVO4 UCL nanophosphors and provide a promising new class of fluorescent probes for biological applications.

The precise operation of the hypoxic tumor microenvironment presents a promising way to improve treatment efficacy, in particular in tumor synergistic phototherapy. This work reports an innovative approach to build adenosine triphosphate-modified hollow ceria nanozymes (ATP-HCNPs@Ce6) that manipulate tumor hypoxia to effectively achieve drug delivery. Hollow ceria nanoparticles (HCNPs) exhibit a controllable hollow structure through varying nitric acid concentrations in the nanocomposites. Specifically, ATP modification makes HCNPs exceptionally biocompatible and stable and acts as a regulator of HCNP enzymatic activity. In the stage of drug loading, newly prepared ATP-HCNPs@Ce6 serves as an in situ oxygen-generating agent because of its ability to simulate catalase. Therefore, ATP-HCNPs@Ce6 has adjustable enzymatic properties that act like a "switch" to selectively supply oxygen in response to high levels of hydrogen peroxide expression and the slightly acidic lysosomal environment of the tumor to enhance lysosome-targeted photodynamic therapy. Moreover, the obvious anticancer effects of ATP-HCNPs@Ce6 are demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. Overall, a simple and rapid self-assembly strategy to form and modify multifunctional HCNPs is reported, which may further propel their application in the field of precision tumor treatment.

Abstract
Biomedical imaging techniques play a crucial role in clinical diagnosis, surgical intervention, and prognosis. Fluorescence imaging in the second biological window (second near-infrared [NIR-II]; 1000-1700 nm) has attracted attention recently. NIR-II fluorescence imaging offers unique advantages in terms of reduced photon scattering, deep tissue penetration, high sensitivity, and many others. A host of materials, including small organic molecules, single-walled carbon nanotubes, polymeric and rare-earth-doped nanoparticles, have been explored as NIR-II emitting fluorescent probes. Efficient and viable approaches to design and develop fluorescence probes with tunable photophysical properties without compromising other key features are of paramount importance. Various chemical strategies are explored to increase the quantum yield of these imaging agents without compromising their spatiotemporal resolution, specificity, and tissue penetration capabilities. This review summarizes the strategies implemented to design and synthesize NIR-II emitting nanoparticles and small organic molecule-based fluorescent probes for applications in the biomedical field. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanoscale Tools and Techniques in Surgery.

Abstract
The first observation of surface metallization of TiO2-x induced by fluoride ions is presented. The emerging metallic states are contributed by the 3d orbital of surface Ti and the 2p orbital of surface bridging F, which are intrinsically originated from the strong electron repulsion between F- and adjacent Ti3+ . The metalized TiO2-x with reduced work function and downward band bending possesses high electron-donating power to supported Ru species via atomic-scale ohmic contacts, exhibiting unprecedented photocatalytic performances for ammonia synthesis across the entire solar spectrum region (200-1550 nm) at room temperature. Mechanism and kinetic analysis revealed that the loaded Ru could behave as efficient electron sinks to accumulate photogenerated electrons and that the metallic surface markedly enhanced the dissociation of H2 and N2 by the hot electrons generated by the visible or even infrared light irradiation.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) region has been considered as a diagnostic window since it avoids sample autofluorescence and light scattering. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) convert NIR light into high energy excitation light, making them a suitable excitation source for nanoprobes with deep penetration depth and high signal-to-noise ratio. The current work reported a rhodamine-derived probe for the detection of Hg(II). Corresponding absorption and emission responses for Hg(II) and detailed recognizing mechanism were discussed. An absorption titration experiment was performed. It was found that Hg(II) directly bonded with probe with chemical stoichiometry of 1:1, its association constant was calculated as 2.59 × 105 M−1. Such a high value indicated a direct coordination affinity between Hg(II) and this rhodamine-derived probe. Most metal cations exerted no increasing effect on the probe emission or absorption, exhibiting good sensing selectivity of probe towards Hg(II). Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were firstly encapsulated with silica (SiO2) and then bonded with the probe via a covalent bond. Given a near-infrared (NIR) laser excitation with wavelength of 980 nm, this probe, (E)-2-((3′,6′-bis(diethylamino)-2′,7′-dimethyl-3-oxospiro[isoindoline-1,9′-xanthen]-2-yl)imino)acetaldehyde (denoted as RHO), captured the energy of UCNPs via a FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) path, resulting in the emission quenching of UCNPs. This composite system showed linear sensing behavior towards Hg(II) with high selectivity, which was similar to the case of pure probe. No probe emission, however, was observed from the composite system, which was different from the case of most literature reports. The self-quenching between probe molecules was claimed responsible for the probe emission, which was confirmed by experiment result and analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of covalently integrating SiO2-coated UCNPs with a rhodamine-derived probe for Hg(II) sensing.

Abstract
Lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), exhibiting excellent optical properties such as long photoluminescence lifetime, narrow emission bandwidth, and low autofluorescence background, have been applied in many fields, especially in biological analysis and medical diagnostics. Despite the exciting progress, the applications of Ln3+-doped UCNPs are hindered by the small absorption cross-section and low upconversion luminescence efficiency of Ln3+. To this regard, several effective strategies associated with energy transfer designing have been proposed to modulate the upconversion luminescence properties of Ln3+ in the past few decades. In this feature article, we focus on the most recent development of optical property designing in Ln3+-doped UCNPs on the basis of energy transfer between Ln3+-Ln3+, Ln3+-dyes, and Ln3+-quantum dots. Some future efforts towards the energy transfer designing in Ln3+-doped UCNPs are also proposed.

Abstract
Herein, we successfully synthesized a series of LaF3:Yb3+/Er3+/Ho3+/Tm3+ upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and LaF3:Yb3+0.20, Er3+0.02@LaF3:Yb3+0.20 core/shell UCNPs by modifying the amount of NaOH and the reaction time. Hexagonal LaF3 nanocrystals with uniform particle sizes and bright UC emissions were obtained. The crystal structures of the lanthanide-doped LaF3 UCNPs were investigated using wide-angle X-ray diffraction. The morphologies and particle sizes of the nanocrystals were determined using transmission electron microscopy. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the LaF3 nanocrystals could be tuned by altering the doping ratio of Er3+, Ho3+, and Tm3+. In addition, the PL intensities increased after coating the UCNP cores with an active shell. The fluorescence intensities of the UCNPs synthesized via a one-hour reaction with the addition of 2.5 or 5 mmol NaOH increased by up to 17 times compared with the sample prepared without the addition of NaOH. By modifying the doping ratio of Yb/Tm, UV-emissive LaF3 nanocrystals were obtained. After surface modification by ligand exchange, the hydrophobic LaF3:Yb3+0.20, Er3+0.02@LaF3:Yb3+0.20 core/shell UCNPs became water-dispersible. These colloid UCNPs could be utilized as a fluorescent probe for the detection of Hg2+ ions under 980 nm near-infrared irradiation.

Abstract
The transferrin encapsulated GdF3 nanoparticles have been fabricated via biomineralization method. The obtained GdF3@Tf NPs show an attractive T2MRI and CT enhancement effect. Furthermore, PET and NIR imaging capacity are integrated into nanoparticles through conjugating with radionuclide 64Cu and fluorescent dye Cy7. 64Cu-GdF3@Tf-Cy7 NPs are developed and applied in small animal multimodal imaging in vivo. Compared with the previous multimodal imaging agents, 64Cu-GdF3@Tf-Cy7 NPs enable not only precise sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification, but specific imaging for transferrin receptor overexpressed colorectal tumor in vivo. The results reveal that 64Cu-GdF3@Tf-Cy7 NPs are potential and efficient multimodal imaging agents for SLN and tumor preclinical imaging.

Abstract
Incorporating nanotechnology into fluorescent imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown promising potential for accurate diagnosis of cancer at an earlier stage than the conventional imaging modalities. Molecular imaging (MI) aims to quantitatively characterize, visualize, and measure the biological processes or living cells at molecular and genetic levels. MI modalities have been exploited in different applications including noninvasive determination and visualization of diseased tissues, cell trafficking visualization, early detection, treatment response monitoring, and in vivo visualization of living cells. High-affinity molecular probe and imaging modality to detect the probe are the two main requirements of MI. Recent advances in nanotechnology and allied modalities have facilitated the use of nanoparticles (NPs) as MI probes. Within the extensive group of NPs, fluorescent NPs play a prominent role in optical molecular imaging. The fluorescent NPs used in molecular and cellular imaging can be categorized into three main groups including quantum dots (QDs), upconversion, and dyedoped NPs. Fluorescent NPs have great potential in targeted theranostics including cancer imaging, immunoassay- based cells, proteins and bacteria detections, imaging-guided surgery, and therapy. Fluorescent NPs have shown promising potentials for drug and gene delivery, detection of the chromosomal abnormalities, labeling of DNA, and visualizing DNA replication dynamics. Multifunctional NPs have been successfully used in a single theranostic modality integrating diagnosis and therapy. The unique characteristics of multifunctional NPs make them potential theranostic agents that can be utilized concurrently for diagnosis and therapy. This review provides the state of the art of the applications of nanotechnologies in early cancer diagnosis focusing on fluorescent NPs, their synthesis methods, and perspectives in clinical theranostics.

Abstract
Engineering a facile and controllable approach to modulate the spectral properties of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is always an ongoing challenge. Herein, long-range ordered, distinct two-dimensional (2D) binary nanoparticle superlattices (BNSLs) composed of NaREF4 :Yb/Er (RE = Y and Gd) UCNPs and plasmonic metallic nanoparticles (Au NPs), including AB, AB3 , and AB13 lattices, are fabricated via a slow evaporation-driven self-assembly to achieve plasmonic modulation of upconversion luminescence (UCL). Optical measurements reveal that typical red-green UCL from UCNPs can be effectively modulated into reddish output in BNSLs, with a drastically shortened lifetime. Notably, for AB3 - and AB13 -type BNSLs with more proximal Au NPs around each UCNP, modified UCL with fine-structured spectral lineshape is observed. These differences could be interpreted by the interplay of collective plasmon resonance introduced by 2D periodic Au arrays and spectrally selective energy transfer between UCNPs and Au. Thus, fabricating UCNP-Au BNSLs with desired lattice parameters and NP configurations could be a promising way to tailor the UCL through controlled plasmonic modulation.

Abstract
The synthesis of lanthanide doped up-converting nanoparticles (UCNPs), whose morphological, structural, and luminescence properties are well suited for applications in optoelectronics, forensics, security, or biomedicine, is of tremendous significance. The most commonly used synthesis method comprises decomposition of organometallic compounds in an oxygen-free environment and subsequent infliction of a biocompatible layer on the particle surface. In this work, hydroxyl-carboxyl (-OH/-COOH) type of chelating agents (citric acid and sodium citrate) are used in situ for the solvothermal synthesis of hydrophilic NaY0.5Gd0.3F4:Yb,Er UCNPs from rare earth nitrate salts and different fluoride sources (NaF, NH4F, and NH4HF2). X-ray powder diffraction showed crystallization of cubic and hexagonal NaY0.5Gd0.3F4:Yb,Er phases in nano- and micro-sized particles, respectively. The content of the hexagonal phase prevails in the samples obtained when Na-citrate is used, while the size and shape of the synthesized mesocrystals are affected by the choice of fluoride source used for precipitation. All particles are functionalized with citrate ligands and emit intense green light at 519 nm and 539 nm (2H11/2, 4S3/2 → 4I15/2) under near infrared light. The intensity of this emission is distressed by the change in the origin of phonon energy of the host matrix revealed by the change in the number of the excitation photons absorbed per emitted photon.

Abstract
Concentration quenching of upconversion (UC) luminescence (UCL) is a common phenomenon in rare-earth-doped materials that seriously restricts the concentration of the activator and sensitizer and withholds their UC emissions and quantum yields. In particular, it remains a tremendous challenge to develop one novel strategy based on the introduction of trivalent bismuth (Bi3+) ions to exceed the typical thulium (Tm3+) ion concentration and reach high-efficiency UC under low illumination. In this work, the Tm3+ accommodation capacity can be increased from 2.0 to 8.0 mol % in NaYbF4:Tm3+ materials with the assistance of Bi3+ ions, which maintains strong UC emissions with large absolute UC quantum yields under low illumination. Specifically, the total upconversion quantum yield (UCQY) of the as-obtained Na(Tm0.08Yb0.60Bi0.32)F4 (8Tm60Yb32Bi) sample can reach as high as 1.45% upon continuous-wave (CW) laser excitation at 40 W cm-2. Strikingly, the total UCQY still remains at a high level (0.41%) even though the CW power density decreases to 1.5 W cm-2. Moreover, the intrinsic mechanism of the breakthrough in the threshold of concentration quenching of UCL by Bi3+ ions was also fully explored. These advances in enhancing UC emissions and UCQYs under a low pump power density offer exciting opportunities for important photonic applications.

Abstract
Ba3Sc2F12 crystals were synthesized by a facile one-step hydrothermal method with Ba/Sc raw material in a ratio of 3 : 2. With the F/Sc ratio increasing from 4 to 8, the obtained crystal's morphology evolved gradually from a strip to a chocolate shape; further, the use of the additives, such as CTAB and EDTA, the obtained crystal's morphology changed from strip to cubic. The energy transfer of Ce3+→ Tb3+ in the Ba3Sc2F12 host was also explored, and it was found to belong to a dipole-dipole interaction mechanism; the color of the light could be adjusted from blue-violet to green due to the different energy transfer efficiencies at different Ce3+ and Tb3+ ion-doping concentrations. Because of the thermal coupling level of Er3+ (2H11/2→4I15/2 and 4S3/2→4I15/2), Ba3Sc2F12:14%Yb3+,2%Er3+ phosphors showed an excellent temperature-sensing ability with SA(max) = 0.0043 K-1 and Tmax = 523 K, which are much better than the previously reported values for Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped systems. The as-prepared lanthanide ion-doped phosphors might have potential to serve as color light/displays and temperature control/sensors.

Abstract
Uniformly dispersed luminescent probes with a high brightness and high resolution are desired in bio imaging fields. Here, ~100 nm sized and well-dispersed spheres of RE3+ doped α-NaYF4 (rare earth (RE) = Eu, Tb, Ce, Er, and Tm) have been facile synthesized through hydrothermal processing in the absence of a template, followed by a proper annealing. The processing window of the cubic structured spheres is wide, because the hydrothermal products are independent of the processing conditions, including reaction time and temperature. The original morphology and crystal structure can be well retained with a calcination temperature up to 600 °C. However, calcination gives rise to a reduction of particle sizes, as a result of the crystallite growth and densification. Under ultraviolet radiation, α-NaYF4:RE3+ spheres show characteristic f-f emissions of RE3+ (RE = Eu, Tb, Ce, Er, and Tm), and exhibit orange red, green, ultraviolet (UV), blue green, and blue emissions, respectively. Mainly because of the near-infrared emission at ~697 nm (5D0→7F4 transitions of Eu3+), the successful imaging of macrophages was achieved by NH2-NaYF4:Eu3+ probes, indicating their excellent imaging capacity for cells in vitro.

Abstract
To date, malignant tumors continue to be the most lethal disease, causing more than 8.2 million deaths worldwide each year. In recent years, nanostructures based on rare-earth upconversion luminescent nanoparticles have shown significant advantages in the integration of multimodal imaging and therapy. Compared with normal tissues, the tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits unique characteristics including high interstitial fluid pressure, abnormal blood vessels, a hypoxic and slightly acidic environment, and high levels of glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). According to these characteristics, increasing attention in the antitumor field has been given to designing nanomedicines with specific responses to the TME based on rare-earth upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and to achieving efficient tumor diagnosis and treatment under the premise of reducing side effects. Nevertheless, a review that systematically summarizes TME-responsive upconversion nanomedicines (UCNMs) for realizing tumor self-enhanced theranostics has not been published to date. In this review, we summarize the recent progress made in UCNP-based nanotherapeutics by highlighting the increasingly developing trend of TME-responsive UCNMs. The general characteristics of the TME are introduced in detail and their utilization in designing TME-responsive UCNMs is systematically discussed. Based on NIR light-excited optical imaging, we discuss the superiority of UCNMs when applied in tumor theranostics with an emphasis on how to use them to realize TME-mediated multimodal imaging-guided therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Periodontal tissue destruction and tooth loss are increasingly a worldwide problem as the population ages. Periodontitis is caused by bacterial infection and biofilm plaque buildup. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a near-infrared light (NIR)-triggered core-shell nanostructure of upconversion nanoparticles and TiO2 (UCNPs@TiO2), and (2) investigate its inhibitory effects via antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) against periodontitis-related pathogens. METHODS The core β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ were synthesized via thermal decomposition and further modified with the TiO2 shell via a hydrothermal method. The core-shell structure and the upconversion fluorescence-induced aPDT treatment via 980nm laser were studied. Three periodontitis-related pathogens Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis), Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) were investigated. The killing activity against planktonic bacteria was detected by a time-kill assay. Single species 4-day biofilms on dentin were tested by live/dead staining, colony-forming units (CFU), and metabolic activity. RESULTS The hexagonal shaped UCNPs@TiO2 had an average diameter of 39.7nm. UCNPs@TiO2 nanoparticles had positively charged (+12.4mV) surface and were biocompatible and non-cytotoxic. Under the excitation of NIR light (980nm), the core NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ UCNPs could emit intense ultraviolet (UV) light, which further triggered the aPDT function of the shell TiO2 via energy transfer, thereby realizing the remarkable antibacterial effects against planktons and biofilms of periodontitis-associated pathogens. NIR-triggered UCNPs@TiO2 achieved much greater reduction in biofilms than control (p<0.05). Biofilm CFU was reduced by 3-4 orders of magnitude via NIR-triggered aPDT, which is significantly greater than that of negative control and commercial aPDT control groups. The killing efficacy of UCNPs@TiO2-based aPDT against the three species was ranked to be: S. sanguinis<F. nucleatum=P. gingivalis. Metabolic activities of biofilms were also greatly reduced via NIR-triggered aPDT (p<0.05). SIGNIFICANCE Upconversion fluorescence-based aPDT achieved strong inhibiting effects against all three species of periodontitis-related pathogens. This novel nanotechnology demonstrated a high promise to inhibit periodontitis, with exciting potential to combat other oral infectious diseases such as deep endodontic infections.

Abstract
In this research, a multimodal imaging platform guided photodynamic theranostics under 808 nm was designed using a NaErF4:Tm@NaYF4:Yb@NaLuF4:Nd,Yb-ZnPc structure. Unlike conventional codoped Yb3+/Er3+ system, Er3+ ions as activator and sensitizer were used to improve the up-conversion energy transfer processes. Furthermore, higher energy transfer processes between Er3+ ions could be obtained through doped 1% Tm3+ ions as an energy trapping center in the NaErF4. This platform could emit much brighter upconversion luminescence (UCL) (124-fold enhancement for red emission) and short wavelength infrared (SWIR) emission under single 808 nm laser excitation. Importantly, the SWIR imaging with higher resolution and better signal-to-noise ratio can pass the blood-brain barrier to see the brain vessels. Because of the enhanced red emission, the UCL nanoparticles were combined with ZnPc agent to exhibit photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect, and its distribution and excretion could be detected by the photoacoustic (PA) imaging under single near-infrared (NIR) laser. Thus, this platform could be used as multimodal imaging (SWIR, PA, CT, and UCL) guided PDT agent under single 808 nm laser.

Abstract
Nd3+-doped nanoparticles involving 808 nm excitation hold great promise in various biomedical applications, such as bioimaging, biodetection, theranostics and optogenetics. Here we present the synthesis and characterization of core-multishell Nd3+-doped nanoparticles displaying excellent optical properties. We systematically studied the influence of doping concentration, nanostructure design, excitation wavelength and size effect on the upconversion luminescence of Nd3+-doped nanoparticles. Remarkably, the emission intensity of optimized nanoparticles with 808 nm excitation is three times higher than the emission intensity of those with 980 nm excitation. Surprisingly, the optical profiles of Nd3+-doped nanoparticles strongly depend on the excitation wavelengths. The dominant effect responsible for the emission intensity difference and the energy transfer mechanism upon different excitation wavelengths are investigated. Interestingly, the heavily Nd3+-doped nanoparticles not only display efficient upconversion luminescence, but also are able to convert the excitation source to heat under a single 808 nm excitation source. Importantly, these efforts will lead to Nd3+-doped nanoparticles with unprecedented optical and thermal properties that will have broad utility in fundamental research and technological applications.

Abstract
In recent years, upconversion materials have attracted considerable attention because of their unique physicochemical features. Numerous studies have focused on the synthesis of upconversion materials with different colors. However, an easier way to vary the upconversion colors without changing the materials' components has not been extensively studied. In this study, we realized the in situ color variation of the designed upconversion material with the help of a three-state fluorescence switching hybrid device. The device was composed of Prussian blue and upconversion materials; the former element functioned as a fluorescence resonance energy transfer acceptor and the latter acted as a donor. Smartly applying the RGB color model guaranteed multicolor of the device. Moreover, the highest fluorescence contrast of the three-state fluorescence switching system was 86% (larger than the result of a previous study), and the three-state reversibility was remarkable; this was probably owing to the unique layer-by-layer dripping/electrodepositing assembly method. To the best of our knowledge, the in situ reversible color variation of the ready-made upconversion material has been demonstrated for the first time.

Abstract
Overdose of Cu2+ is associated with multiple diseases, such as Wilson disease, Parkinson disease, and Alzheimer disease. Therefore, detections of Cu2+ in vivo and in vitro are meaningful. Near-infrared fluorescent probes are commonly applied for the detection of Cu2+ in real time. With mono detection signal provided, these probes are not persuasive when applied to complicated biological environments, such as cells and animals. In this report, we conjugated the organic fluorescent probe CYDAC16 with the UCNPs (lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles) to develop a ratiometric luminescent probe for Cu2+. The composite material UCNPs-CYDAC16 provides a ratiometric signal based on an upconversion luminescence 660 and 800 nm. With good sensitivity and selectivity for Cu2+, it works well in vivo and in vitro for the detection of Cu2+. We believe it is promising in further biological applications.

Fluorolytic Sol–Gel Synthesis of Nanometal Fluorides: Accessing New Materials for Optical Applications. INORGANICS 2018.

Abstract
The potential of fluorolytic sol–gel synthesis for a wide variety of applications in the field of optical materials is reviewed. Based on the fluorolytic sol–gel synthesis of nanometal fluorides, sols of complex fluorometalates have become available that exhibit superior optical properties over known classical binary metal fluorides as, for instance, magnesium fluoride, calcium fluoride, or strontium fluoride, respectively. The synthesis of transparent sols of magnesium fluoroaluminates of the general composition MgxAlFy, and fluoroperovskites, [K1−xNax]MgF3, is reported. Antireflective coatings fabricated from MgF2, CaF2, MgxAlFy, and [K1−xNax]MgF3 sols and their relevant properties are comprehensively described. Especially the heavier alkaline earth metal fluorides and the fluorperovskites crystallizing in a cubic crystal structure are excellent hosts for rare earth (RE) metals. Thus, the second chapter reflects the synthesis approach and the properties of luminescent systems based on RE-doped alkaline earth metal fluorides and [K1−xNax]MgF3 phases.
