Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early diagnosis and effective therapeutic interventions are critical determinants that can improve survival and quality of life in breast cancer patients. Nanotheranostics are emerging interventions that offer the dual benefit of in vivo diagnosis and therapeutics through a single nano-sized carrier. Rare earth metal-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with their ability to convert near-infrared light to visible light or UV light in vivo settings have gained special attraction due to their unique luminescence and tumor-targeting properties. In this review, we have discussed applications of UCNPs in drug and gene delivery, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and tumor targeting in breast cancer. Further, present challenges and future opportunities for UCNPs in breast cancer treatment have also been mentioned.

Abstract
We have synthesized the first reported example of quantum confined high-entropy (HE) nanoparticles, using the lanthanide oxysulfide, Ln2SO2, system as the host phase for an equimolar mixture of Pr, Nd, Gd, Dy, and Er. A uniform HE phase was achieved via the simultaneous thermolysis of a mixture of lanthanide dithiocarbamate precursors in solution. This was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction and high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic mapping confirming the uniform distribution of the lanthanides throughout the particles. The nanoparticle dispersion displayed a significant blue shift in the absorption and photoluminescence spectra relative to our previously reported bulk sample with the same composition, with an absorption edge at 330 nm and a λmax at 410 nm compared to the absorption edge at 500 nm and a λmax at 450 nm in the bulk, which is indicative of quantum confinement. We support this postulate with experimental and theoretical analysis of the bandgap energy as a function of strain and surface effects (ligand binding) as well as calculation of the exciton Bohr radiii of the end member compounds.

Abstract
Lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) often suffer from weak luminescence, especially when their sizes are ultrasmall (less than 10 nm). Enhancing the upconversion luminescence (UCL) efficiency of ultrasmall UCNPs has remained a challenge that must be undertaken if any practical applications are to be envisaged. Herein, we present a Ln3+-doped oxysulfide@fluoride core/shell heterostructure which shows efficient UCL properties under 980 nm excitation and good stability in solution. Through epitaxial heterogeneous growth, a ∼4 nm optically inert β-NaYF4 shell was coated onto ∼5 nm ultrasmall Gd2O2S:20%Yb,1%Tm. These Gd2O2S:20%Yb,1%Tm@NaYF4 core/shell UCNPs exhibit a more than 800-fold increase in UCL intensity compared to the unprotected core, a 180-fold increase in luminescence decay time of the 3H4 → 3H6 Tm3+ transition from 5 to 900 μs, and an upconversion quantum yield (UCQY) of 0.76% at an excitation power density of 155 W/cm2. Likewise, Gd2O2S:20%Yb,2%Er@NaYF4 core/shell UCNPs show a nearly 5000-fold increase of their UCL intensity compared to the Gd2O2S:20%Yb,2%Er core and a maximum UCQY of 0.61%. In the Yb/Er core-shell UCNP system, the observed variation of luminescence intensity ratio seems to originate from a change in lattice strain as the temperature is elevated. For nanothermometry applications, the thermal sensitivities based on thermally coupled levels are estimated for both Yb/Tm and Yb/Er doped Gd2O2S@NaYF4 core/shell UCNPs.

Abstract
High entropy (HE) materials have received significant attention in recent years, due to their intrinsically high levels of configurational entropy. While there has been significant work exploring HE alloys and oxides, new families of HE materials are still being revealed. In this work we present the synthesis of a novel family of HE materials based on lanthanide oxysulfides. Here, we implement lanthanide dithiocarbamates as versatile precursors that can be mixed at the molecular scale prior to thermolysis in order to produce the high entropy oxysulfide. The target of our synthesis is the HE Ln2SO2 phase, where Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd, Dy, Er and where Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd, Dy for 5 and 4 lanthanide samples, respectively. We confirmed the structure of samples produced by powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and high-resolution energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Optical spectroscopy shows a broad emission feature centered around 450 nm as well as a peak in absorption at around 280 nm. From this data we calculate the band gap and Urbach energies of the materials produced.

Abstract
In the last decade, the publications presenting novel physical and chemical aspects of gadolinium-based oxide (Gd2O3) and oxysulfide (Gd2O2S) particles in the micro- or nano-scale have increased, mainly stimulated by the exciting applications of these materials in the biomedical field. Their optical properties, related to down and upconversion phenomena and the ability to functionalize their surface, make them attractive for developing new probes for selective targeting and emergent bioimaging techniques, either for biomolecule labeling or theranostics. Moreover, recent reports have shown interesting optical behavior of these systems influenced by the synthesis methods, dopant amount and type, particle shape and size, and surface functionality. Hence, this review presents a compilation of the latest works focused on evaluating the optical properties of Gd2O3 and Gd2O2S particles as a function of their physicochemical and morphological properties; and also on their novel applications as MRI contrast agents and drug delivery nanovehicles, discussed along with their administration routes, biodistribution, cytotoxicity, and clearance mechanisms. Perspectives for this field are also identified and discussed.

Multimodal gadolinium oxysulfide nanoparticles for bioimaging: A comprehensive biodistribution, elimination and toxicological study. Acta Biomater 2020; 108:261-272. [PMID: 32165191 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2019] [Revised: 03/03/2020] [Accepted: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
For some years now, gadolinium oxysulfide nanoparticles (NPs) appear as strong candidates for very efficient multimodal in vivo imaging by: 1) Magnetic Resonance (MRI), 2) X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) and 3) photoluminescence imaging. In this paper, we present a selection of results centered on the evaluation of physico-chemical stability, toxicity, bio-distribution and excretion mechanisms of Gd2O2S:Ln3+ nanoparticles intravenously injected in rats. Two formulations are here tested with a common matrix and different dopants: Gd2O2S:Eu3+5% and Gd2O2S:Yb3+4%/Tm3+0.1%. The NPs appear to be almost insoluble in pure water and human plasma but corrosion/degradation phenomenon appears in acidic conditions classically encountered in cell lysosomes. Whole body in vivo distribution, excretion and toxicity evaluation revealed a high tolerance of nanoparticles with a long-lasting imaging signal associated with a slow hepatobiliary clearance and very weak urinary excretion. The results show that the majority of the injected product (>60%) has been excreted through the feces after five months. Experiments have evidenced that the NPs mainly accumulate in macrophage-rich organs, that is mainly liver and spleen and to a lesser extent lungs and bones (mainly marrow). No significant amounts have been detected in other organs such as heart, kidneys, brain, intestine and skin. Gd2O2S:Ln3+ NPs appeared to be very well tolerated up to 400 mg/kg when administered intravenously. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Since 2011, we have focused our work on Gd2O2S nanoparticles (NPs) for multimodal bioimaging using fluorescence, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography with very efficient results already published. However, since the European Medicines Agency has concluded its review of gadolinium contrast agents, confirming recommendations to restrict the use of some linear gadolinium agents used in MRI, a particular attention must be paid to any new contrast media containing gadolinium. Therefore, we present in this paper a compilation of studies about toxicity, bio-distribution and excretion mechanisms of Gd2O2S:Ln3+ NPs intravenously injected into rats. We also present an in vitro kinetic study of NPs degradation in aqueous and biological media to provide some information on chemical and biological stability.

Abstract
The oxidation process of samariumoxysulfide was studied in the temperature range of 500–1000 °C. Our DTA investigation allowed for establishing the main thermodynamic (∆Hºexp = −654.6 kJ/mol) and kinetic characteristics of the process (Ea = 244 kJ/mol, A = 2 × 1010). The enthalpy value of samarium oxysulfate (ΔHºf (Sm2O2SO4(monocl)) = −2294.0 kJ/mol) formation was calculated. The calculated process enthalpy value coincides with the value determined in the experiment. It was established that samarium oxysulfate crystallizes in the monoclinic symmetry class and its crystal structure belongs to space group C2/c with unit cell parameters a = 13.7442 (2), b = 4.20178 (4) and c = 8.16711 (8)Å, β = 107.224 (1)°, V = 450.498 (9)Å3, Z = 4. The main elements of the crystalline structure are obtained and the cation coordination environment is analyzed in detail. Vibrational spectroscopy methods confirmed the structural model adequacy. The Sm2O2SO4luminescence spectra exhibit three main bands easily assignable to the transitions from 4G5/2 state to 6H5/2, 6H7/2, and 6H9/2 multiplets.

Abstract
Lanthanide (Ln) complexes emitting in the near-infrared (NIR) region have fostered great interest as upcoming optical tags owing to their high spatial and temporal resolution emission as well deeper light penetration in biological tissues for non-invasive monitoring. For use in live-cell imaging, lanthanide complexes with long-wavelength absorption and good brightness are especially critical. Light-harvesting ligands of Ln complexes are typically excited in the ultraviolet region, which in turn trigger simultaneously autofluorescence and long-exposition damage of living systems. The association of d-metalloligands rather than organic chromophores enables the excitation of NIR-emitting Ln complex occurs in the visible region. Taking advantage of the long-lived excited states and intense absorption band in the ultraviolet (UV) to NIR region of Ru(II), we successfully design a dual-emitting (in the visible and NIR region) d-f heterobinuclear complex based on Ru(II) metalloligand and Yb(III) complex. In addition, we developed luminescent nanohybrids by grafting of Ru(II)-Yb(III) heterobinuclear complexes containing silylated ligands on the surface of mesoporous and dense silica matrix. The nanomarkers were successfully applied for imaging of murine melanoma B16-F10 and neonatal human dermal fibroblast HDFn cell cultures by one-photon or two-photon absorption using laser scanning confocal microscopy. Great cellular uptake, low cytotoxicity and the possibility to achieve visible and NIR emission via two-photons excitation show that the nanohybrids are remarkable markers for in vitro and a potential tool for in vivo applications.

Abstract
Despite a clear development of innovative therapies based on stem cell manipulation, the availability of new tools to better understand and follow stem cell behavior and improve their biomedical applications is not adequate. Indeed, an ideal tracking device must have good ability to label stem cells as well as complete neutrality relative to their biology. Furthermore, preclinical studies imply in vitro and in vivo approaches that often require several kinds of labeling and/or detection procedures. Consequently, the multimodality concept presented in this work may present a solution to this problem as it has the potential to combine complementary imaging techniques. Spherical europium-doped gadolinium oxysulfide (Gd2O2S:Eu3+) nanoparticles are presented as a candidate as they are detectable by (1) magnetic resonance (MRI), (2) X-ray and (3) photoluminescence imaging. Whole body in vivo distribution, elimination and toxicity evaluation revealed a high tolerance of nanoparticles with a long-lasting MRI signal and slow hepatobiliary and renal clearance. In vitro labeling of a wide variety of cells unveils the nanoparticle potential for efficient and universal cell tracking. Emphasis on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) leads to the definition of optimal conditions for labeling and tracking in the context of cell therapy: concentrations below 50 μg mL-1 and diameters between 170 and 300 nm. Viability, proliferation, migration and differentiation towards mesodermal lineages are preserved under these conditions, and cell labeling appears to be persistent and without any leakage. Ex vivo detection of as few as five thousand Gd2O2S:Eu3+-labeled MSCs by MRI combined with in vitro examination with fluorescence microscopy highlights the feasibility of cell tracking in cell therapy using this new nanoplatform.

Abstract
We investigate the encapsulation of CdSe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) in a silica shell by in situ Raman spectroscopy and find a distinct shift of the CdS Raman signal during the first hours of the synthesis. This shift does not depend on the final silica shell thickness but on the properties of the initial core-shell QD. We find a correlation between the Raman shift rate and the speed of the silica formation and attribute this to the changing configuration of the outermost layers of the QD shell, where an interface to the newly formed silica is created. This dependence of Raman shift rate on the speed of silica formation process will give rise to many possible studies concerning the growth mechanism in the water-in-oil microemulsion, rendering in situ Raman a valuable instrument in monitoring this type of reaction.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging biomedical imaging technique that is now coming to the clinic. It has a penetration depth of a few centimeters and generates useful endogenous contrast, particularly from melanin and oxy-/deoxyhemoglobin. Indocyanine green (ICG) is a Food and Drug Administration-approved contrast agents for human applications, which can be also used in PAI. It is a small molecule dye with limited applications due to its fast clearance, rapid protein binding, and bleaching effect. Methods: Here, we entrap ICG in a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles together with a perfluorocarbon (PFC) using single emulsion method. These nanoparticles and nanoparticle-loaded dendritic cells were imaged with PA, 19F MR, and fluorescence imaging in vitro and in vivo. Results: We formulated particles with an average diameter of 200 nm. The encapsulation of ICG within nanoparticles decreased its photobleaching and increased the retention of the signal within cells, making it available for applications such as cell imaging. As little as 0.1x106 cells could be detected in vivo with PAI using automated spectral unmixing. Furthermore, we observed the accumulation of ICG signal in the lymph node after subcutaneous injection of nanoparticles. Conclusion: We show that we can label primary human dendritic cells with the nanoparticles and image them in vitro and in vivo, in a multimodal manner. This work demonstrates the potential of combining PAI and 19F MRI for cell imaging and lymph node detection using nanoparticles that are currently produced at GMP-grade for clinical use.

Abstract
On the basis of finite-difference time-domain simulations, a novel strategy is developed to prepare highly efficient bis(2-(2'-benzothienyl)pyridinato-N, C3')iridium (BTP) and AuNP polyiohexol composite nanoparticles (BAPI NPs) as dual-modal phosphorescence/computed tomography (CT) bioprobes. In these bioprobes, BTP and AuNPs are both encapsulated with polyiohexol NPs. All bioprobe components perform two functions here: AuNPs could be used as both a CT contrast agent and a phosphorescence enhancement reagent of BTP with a metal-enhancement fluorescence effect. The results showed that BAPI NPs were almost spherical in shape, with an average size of 50.36 ± 3.8 nm and a higher total contrast agent loading ratio of 69.4%. Fourier transform infrared spectra confirmed that AuNPs and BTP are encapsulated in BAPI NPs. It is shown that they have lower toxicity for tissues and cells, their phosphorescence intensities are 8.27-fold that of BTP polyiohexol NPs (BPI NPs), the average phosphorescence intensity of the BAPI NPs was 1.46 times higher than that of BPI NPs and 5.85 times that of BTP alone in vivo. Improved CT imaging is obtained at a low dose of polyiohexol in vivo. These bioprobes not only have highly efficient and excellent dual-modal imaging, but they also save the use of various materials, indicating that these bioprobes are the potential dual-modal probes of the future.

Abstract
Developing multicolor-emitting materials has significant value in many research fields such as displays, bioimaging, and information storage. The widely adopted strategies to realize multicolor emission are tuning the material composition, phase, and size. Herein, the emission color was continuously controlled from yellow to pink by simply changing the excitation wavelength from 254 nm to 365 nm for Tb3+/Eu3+ co-doped Gd2O2S NCs. The Gd2O2S NCs with different morphologies, including nanoplate with various sizes and flower-like, were successfully prepared by seed-mediated, Na+/Y3+ co-doped, and S concentration-tuned methods. The results indicated that Na+ ions greatly promote the growth of Gd2O2S NCs and Y3+ ions have an impact on their shape. Moreover, the PL intensity of the 2%Eu-doped flower-like Na/Y:Gd2O2S (F-NYG) NCs decreased by about 24.7%, 6.8%, and 5.1% under 254 nm, 316 nm, and 348 nm excitation, respectively; this is due to less non-radiative relaxation paths above the excited state of Eu3+:5D0 at longer excitation wavelength, which result in a decreased degree of the PL intensity reduction.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis, characterization and application as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging of a novel type of magnetic nanoparticle based on Gd-Si oxide, which presents high Gd3+ atom density. For this purpose, we have used a Prussian Blue analogue as the sacrificial template by reacting with soluble silicate, obtaining particles with nanorod morphology and of small size (75 nm). These nanoparticles present good biocompatibility and higher longitudinal and transversal relaxivity values than commercial Gd3+ solutions, which significantly improves the sensitivity of in vivo magnetic resonance images.

Abstract
This review highlights recent developments in the synthesis and unconventional applications of nanosized microporous crystals including framework (zeolites) and layered (clays) type materials. Owing to their microporous nature nanosized zeolites and clays exhibit novel properties, different from those of bulk materials. The factors controlling the formation of nanosized microporous crystals are first revised. The most promising approaches from the viewpoint of large-scale production of nanosized zeolites and clays are discussed in depth. The preparation and advanced applications of nanosized zeolites and clays in free (suspension and powder forms) and fixed (films) forms are summarized. Further the review emphasises the non-conventional applications of new porous materials. A comprehensive analysis of the emerging applications of microporous nanosized crystals in the field of semiconductor industry, optical materials, chemical sensors, medicine, cosmetics, and food industry is presented. Finally, the future needs and perspectives of nanosized microporous materials (zeolites and clays) are addressed.

Abstract
Time-gated luminescence microscopy using long-lifetime molecular probes can effectively eliminate autofluorescence to enable high contrast imaging. Here we investigate a new strategy of time-gated imaging for simultaneous visualisation of multiple species of microorganisms stained with long-lived complexes under low-background conditions. This is realized by imaging two pathogenic organisms (Giardia lamblia stained with a red europium probe and Cryptosporidium parvum with a green terbium probe) at UV wavelengths (320-400 nm) through synchronization of a flash lamp with high repetition rate (1 kHz) to a robust time-gating detection unit. This approach provides four times enhancement in signal-to-background ratio over non-time-gated imaging, while the average signal intensity also increases six-fold compared with that under UV LED excitation. The high sensitivity is further confirmed by imaging the single europium-doped Y₂O₂S nanocrystals (150 nm). We report technical details regarding the time-gating detection unit and demonstrate its compatibility with commercial epi-fluorescence microscopes, providing a valuable and convenient addition to standard laboratory equipment.
