Abstract
Complex metal nanostructures represent an exceptional category of materials characterized by distinct morphologies and physicochemical properties. Nanostructures with shape anisotropies, such as nanorods, nanostars, nanocages, and nanoprisms, are particularly appealing due to their tunable surface plasmon resonances, controllable surface chemistries, and effective targeting capabilities. These complex nanostructures can absorb light in the near-infrared, enabling noteworthy applications in nanomedicine, molecular imaging, and biology. The engineering of targeting abilities through surface modifications involving ligands, antibodies, peptides, and other agents potentiates their effects. Recent years have witnessed the development of innovative structures with diverse compositions, expanding their applications in biomedicine. These applications encompass targeted imaging, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, near-infrared II imaging, catalytic therapy, photothermal therapy, and cancer treatment. This review seeks to provide the nanomedicine community with a thorough and informative overview of the evolving landscape of complex metal nanoparticle research, with a specific emphasis on their roles in imaging, cancer therapy, infectious diseases, and biofilm treatment. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Diagnostic Tools > Diagnostic Nanodevices.

Abstract
Background Radiotherapy is one of the main clinical methods for the treatment of malignant tumors at present. However, its application is limited by the radiation resistance of some tumor cells and the irradiation damage to the surrounding normal tissues, and the limitation of radiotherapy dose also affects the therapeutic effect. Therefore, developing diagnostic and therapeutic agents with imaging and radiosensitizing functions is urgently needed to improve the accuracy and efficacy of radiotherapy. Materials and Strategy Herein, we synthesized multifunctional nanotheranostic FRNPs nanoparticles based on gold nanocages (GNCs) and MnO2 for magnetic resonance (MR)/photoacoustic (PA) imaging and combined photothermal, radiosensitive and chemical therapy. A programmed therapy strategy based on FRNPs is proposed. First, photothermal therapy is applied to ablate large tumors and increase the sensitivity of the tumor tissue to radiotherapy, then X-ray radiation is performed to further reduce the tumor size, and finally chemotherapeutic agents are used to eliminate smaller residual tumors and distant metastases. Results As revealed by fluorescence, MR and PA imaging, FRNPs achieved efficient aggregation and retention at tumor sites of mice after intravenous injection. In vivo studies have shown that the programmed treatment of FRNPs-injected nude mice which were exposed to X-ray after 808 laser irradiation achieved the greatest inhibition of tumor growth compared with other treatment groups. Moreover, no obvious systemic toxicity was observed in all groups of mice, indicating the good biocompatibility of FRNPs and the safety of the treatment scheme. Conclusion To sum up, our work not only showed a new radiosensitizer, but also provided a promising theranostic strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) is a powerful and widely used imaging technique in modern medicine. However, it often requires the use of contrast agents to visualize structures with similar radiographic density. Unfortunately, current clinical contrast agents (CAs) for CT have remained largely unchanged for decades and come with several significant drawbacks, including serious nephrotoxicity and short circulation half-lives. The next generation of CT radiocontrast agents should strive to be long-circulating, non-toxic, and non-immunogenic. Nanoparticle contrast agents have shown promise in recent years and are likely to comprise the majority of next-generation CT contrast agents. This review highlights the fundamental mechanism and background of X-ray and contrast agents. It also focuses on the challenges associated with current clinical contrast agents and provides a brief overview of potential future agents that are based on various materials such as lipids, polymers, dendrimers, metallic, and non-metallic inorganic nanoparticles (NPs). STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We realized a need for clarification on a number of concerns related to the use of iodinated contrast material as debates regarding the safety of these agents with patients with kidney disease, shellfish allergies, and thyroid dysfunction remain ongoing in medical practice. This review was partially inspired by debates witnessed in medical practice regarding outdated misconceptions of contrast material that warrant clarification in translational and clinical arenas. Given that conversation around currently available agents is at somewhat of a high water mark, and nanoparticle research has now reached an unprecedented number of readers, we find that this review is timely and unique in the context of recent discussions in the field.

Abstract
About 50% of cancer patients receive radiation therapy. Despite the therapeutic benefits of this method, the toxicity of radiation in the normal tissues is unavoidable To improve the quality of radiation therapy, in addition to other methods such as IMRT, IGRT, and high radiation dose, nanoparticles have shown excellent potential when ionising radiation is applied to the target volume. Recently, bismuth-based nanoparticles (BiNPs) have become particularly popular in radiation therapy due to their high atomic numbers (Z), high X-ray attenuation coefficient, low toxicity, and low cost. Moreover, it is easy to synthesise in a variety of sizes and shapes. This study aimed to review the effects of the bismuth-based NP and its combination with other compounds, and their potential synergies in radiotherapy, discussed based on their physical, chemical, and biological interactions. Targeted and non-targeted bismuth-based NPs used in radiotherapy as radiosensitizers and dose enhancement effects are described. The results reported in the literature were categorised into various groups. Also, this review has highlighted the importance of bismuth-based NPs in different forms of cancer treatment to find the highest efficiency for applying them as a suitable candidate for various cancer therapy and future clinical applications.

Abstract
Achieving a complete response to cancer treatment is a severe challenge, and has puzzled humans for a long time. Fortunately, radiotherapy (RT) gives rise to a common clinical treatment method, during which the usage of radiosensitizers is essential. Among preclinical radiosensitizers, bismuth-based nanoparticles (Bi-based NPs) are widely explored in cancer diagnosis and treatment, because they share favourable properties, such as low toxicity, strong X-ray absorption and facile preparation. However, pure Bi alone cannot achieve both efficient and safe RT outcomes, mainly due to poor targeting of tumor sites, long retention-induced systemic toxicity and immune resistance. This work provides an overview of recent advances and developments in Bi-based NPs that are tailored to enhance radiosensitivity. For the fabrication process, surface modification of Bi-based NPs is essential to achieve tumor-targeted delivery and penetration. Moreover, the incorporation of other elements, such as Fe ions, can increase diagnostic accuracy with optimal theranostic efficacy. Meanwhile, the structure-activity relationship can also be manipulated to maximize the chemotherapeutic drug loading capability of Bi-based NPs, to enhance X-ray attenuation by means of a large surface area or to achieve safer metabolic routes with rapid clearance from the human body. In addition, Bi-based NPs exhibit synergistic antitumor potential when combined with diverse therapies, such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). To summarize, the latest research on Bi-based NPs as radiosensitizers is described in the review, including both their advantages and disadvantages for improving treatment, thus providing a useful guide for future clinical application.

Abstract
Poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) molecule modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms were constructed by using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) modified Bi2S3 nanoparticles (∼4.6 nm) as a photothermal agent and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) coated Zn2Ga2.98Ge0.75O8:Cr0.023+ (ZGGO:Cr3+@CTAB) persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) through electrostatic adsorption. It is found that the above composite nanoplatforms have excellent laser-irradiation thermal stability and good photothermal conversion performance. The measured photothermal conversion efficiency is ∼44%, which is higher than that (∼37%) of the PLNP-GNR (gold nanorod) composite nanoplatforms. Meanwhile, PSS modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms exhibited good solution dispersibility in blood and normal tissue environments. While reaching tumor sites, the above composite nanoplatforms can be rapidly accumulated in cancer cells with acidic environments. This pH-responsive acid-induced aggregation can be ascribed to the chemical reaction induced by the protonation of PSS modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms with a negatively charged surface in the acidic environments. Our results suggest that PSS modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms might be applied to precision diagnosis and therapy of deep-tissue tumors.

Abstract
Fabrication of multifunctional nanoprobes, which integrate tumor targeting, imaging, and effective treatment, has been widely explored in nanomedicine. In the present study, we fabricated tumor-targeting polymer folic acid-terminated polyethylene glycol thiol-modified gold nanostars (GNS-FA), which could realize X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging and PTT/RT synergistic therapy. The synthesized GNS-FA exhibited good biocompatibility. GNS-FA could be used as a CT imaging contrast agent due to the strong X-ray attenuation of Au. GNS-FA exhibited good near-infrared (NIR) light absorption and excellent photothermal conversion performance, making them promising photothermal transduction agents (PTAs). Furthermore, GNS-FA could be used as an RT sensitizer to enhance the radio-mediated cell death due to the high atomic number (high Z) of gold. Hence, GNS-FA were used as the CT imaging agent, PTA, and radiosensitizer in this work. The in vitro antitumor experiments showed that the PTT/RT combined treatment had enhanced anticancer efficacy compared with the monotherapy (PTT or RT). Our results indicated that the bioconjugated GNS could offer an excellent nanoplatform for CT imaging-guided PTT/RT combined cancer therapy in the future.

Abstract
Innovative multifunctional nanomaterials have attracted tremendous interest in current research by facilitating simultaneous cancer imaging and therapy. Among them, antimony (Sb)- and bismuth (Bi)-based nanoparticles are important species with multifunction to boost cancer theranostic efficacy. Despite the rapid development, the extensive previous work treated Sb- and Bi-based nanoparticles as mutually independent species, and therefore a thorough understanding of their relationship in cancer theranostics was lacking. We propose here that the identical chemical nature of Sb and Bi, being semimetals, provides their derived nanoparticles with inherent multifunction for near-infrared laser-driven and/or X-ray-based cancer imaging and therapy as well as some other imparted functions. An overview of recent progress on Sb- and Bi-based nanoparticles for cancer theranostics is provided to highlight the relationship between chemical nature and multifunction. The understanding of Sb- and Bi-based nanoparticles in this way might shed light on the further design of smart multifunctional nanoparticles for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Multifunctional magnetic nanoagents (MMNs) have drawn increasing attention in cancer precision therapy, attributed to their good biocompatibility and the potential applications for multimodal imaging and multidisciplinary therapy. The noble metal or isotopes contained in MMNs could not only perform superparamagnetism, providing an outstanding magnetic targeting property for drug delivery, but also endow the MMNs with a magnetocaloric effect, photothermal performance, and radiotherapy sensitization, arriving at a multimode combination therapy for cancer. Also, the composite component can endow MMNs with various imaging performance, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), thereby achieving accurate image-guided therapy for cancer. However, the joint function of MMNs is closely correlated with their functional nanocomponents and nanostructures. In this article, we will systematically discuss the design, synthesis, and structure optimization of MMNs, as well as their potential in multimodal diagnosis and therapy, scientifically providing an integrated diagnosis and treatment of nanomedicine for the future cancer therapy.

Abstract
The damaged DNA strands caused by radiotherapy (RT) can repair by themselves. A gold nanoparticles (GNPs) system with acid-induced aggregation was developed into a dual sensitizer owing to its high radioactive rays attenuation ability and enhanced photothermal heating efficiency after GNPs aggregation to achieve a combination therapy of RT and photothermal therapy (PTT). In this combination therapy, the formed GNP aggregates firstly showed a higher sensitize enhancement ratio (SER) value (1.52). Importantly, the self-repair of damaged DNA strands was inhibited by mild PTT through down-regulating the expression of DNA repair protein, thus resulting in a much higher SER value (1.68). Anti-tumor studies further demonstrated that this combination therapy exhibited ideal anti-tumor efficacy. Furthermore, the imaging signals of GNPs in computed tomography and photoacoustic were significantly improved following the GNPs aggregation. Therefore, a dual sensitizer with multimodal imaging was successfully developed and can be further applied as a new anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy has been severely limited by oxygen (O2 ) deficiency in tumors and the electron-hole separation inefficiency in photosensitizers, especially the long-range diffusion of O2 toward photosensitizers during the PDT process. Herein, novel bismuth sulfide (Bi2 S3 )@bismuth (Bi) Z-scheme heterostructured nanorods (NRs) are designed to realize the spatiotemporally synchronous O2 self-supply and production of reactive oxygen species for hypoxic tumor therapy. Both narrow-bandgap Bi2 S3 and Bi components can be excited by a near-infrared laser to generate abundant electrons and holes. The Z-scheme heterostructure endows Bi2 S3 @Bi NRs with an efficient electron-hole separation ability and potent redox potentials, where the hole on the valence band of Bi2 S3 can react with water to supply O2 for the electron on the conduction band of Bi to produce reactive oxygen species. The Bi2 S3 @Bi NRs overcome the major obstacles of conventional photosensitizers during the PDT process and exhibit a promising phototherapeutic effect, supplying a new strategy for hypoxic tumor elimination.

Abstract
Studies of nanosized forms of bismuth (Bi)-containing materials have recently expanded from optical, chemical, electronic, and engineering fields towards biomedicine, as a result of their safety, cost-effective fabrication processes, large surface area, high stability, and high versatility in terms of shape, size, and porosity. Bi, as a nontoxic and inexpensive diamagnetic heavy metal, has been used for the fabrication of various nanoparticles (NPs) with unique structural, physicochemical, and compositional features to combine various properties, such as a favourably high X-ray attenuation coefficient and near-infrared (NIR) absorbance, excellent light-to-heat conversion efficiency, and a long circulation half-life. These features have rendered bismuth-containing nanoparticles (BiNPs) with desirable performance for combined cancer therapy, photothermal and radiation therapy (RT), multimodal imaging, theranostics, drug delivery, biosensing, and tissue engineering. Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOx, where X is Cl, Br or I) and bismuth chalcogenides, including bismuth oxide, bismuth sulfide, bismuth selenide, and bismuth telluride, have been heavily investigated for therapeutic purposes. The pharmacokinetics of these BiNPs can be easily improved via the facile modification of their surfaces with biocompatible polymers and proteins, resulting in enhanced colloidal stability, extended blood circulation, and reduced toxicity. Desirable antibacterial effects, bone regeneration potential, and tumor growth suppression under NIR laser radiation are the main biomedical research areas involving BiNPs that have opened up a new paradigm for their future clinical translation. This review emphasizes the synthesis and state-of-the-art progress related to the biomedical applications of BiNPs with different structures, sizes, and compositions. Furthermore, a comprehensive discussion focusing on challenges and future opportunities is presented.

Abstract
Bismuth-containing nanoparticles (BNPs) are potential enhancers for tumor radiotherapy. Improving the bioavailability and developing synergistic therapeutic regimens benefit the drug transformation of BNPs. In the present study, we prepare a mesoporous silica-coated bismuth nanorod (BMSNR) camouflaged by a platelet membrane (PM). This biomimetic material is termed BMSNR@PM. The PM camouflage enhances the immune escape of the BMSNRs by lowering endocytosis by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system. Additionally, the PM camouflage strengthens the material tumor-targeting capacity and leads to better radiotherapeutic efficacy compared with bare BMSNRs. Owing to the photothermal effect, BMSNR@PMs alters the cell cycle of 4T1 cancer cells post-treatment with 808 nm near-infrared irradiation (NIR). The proportions of S phase and G2/M phase cells decrease and increase, respectively, which explains the synergistic effect of NIR on BMSNR@PM-based radiotherapy. BMSNR@PMs efficiently eradicates cancer cells by the combined action of photothermal therapy (PTT) and radiotherapy in vivo and markedly improves the survival of 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. The synergistic therapeutic effect is superior to the outcomes of PTT and radiotherapy performed alone. Our study demonstrates a versatile bismuth-containing nanoplatform with tumor-targeting, immune escape, and radiosensitizing functionalities using an autologous cell membrane biomimetic concept that may promote the development of radiotherapy enhancers.

Abstract
Cancer is a major disease that seriously threatens human health and is a leading cause of human death. At present, the commonly used cancer treatment methods are surgical therapy, chemical drug therapy and radiation therapy (RT). However, these treatments all have their own shortcomings and cannot perfectly meet the needs of clinical diagnosis and treatment. It is of great significance to improve the diagnosis and treatment level, so that the curative effect and quality of life of tumor patients can be improved. The rapid development of nanotechnology has brought hope to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and the appearance of biofunctional magnetic hybrid nanomaterials (MHNs) has provided a new possibilities for the integration of cancer diagnosis and treatment. As a promising research direction, the multifunctional nanoplatform integrates imaging diagnosis, drug therapy and drug delivery. Better treatment effects and fewer side effects can be achieved by optimizing materials to build stable, efficient, and safe MHNs with combined functions of multimodal imaging and various treatments. This review focuses on not only the research progress of MHNs but also their applications and development trend in the integration of cancer diagnosis and treatment. A description of the applications of MHN structure optimization for both magnetic resonance imaging-based multimodal diagnosis and cancer therapy is given. Furthermore, RT is introduced and the development of MHNs for diagnosis and treatment system is investigated.
