Abstract
Theranostics is a novel paradigm integrating therapy and diagnostics, thereby providing new prospects for overcoming the limitations of traditional treatments. In this context, perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are the most widely used tracers in preclinical fluorine-19 magnetic resonance (19F MR), primarily for their high fluorine content. However, PFCs are extremely hydrophobic, and their solutions often display reduced biocompatibility, relative instability, and subpar 19F MR relaxation times. This study aims to explore the potential of micellar 19F MR imaging (MRI) tracers, synthesized by polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA), as alternative theranostic agents for simultaneous imaging and release of the non-steroidal antileprotic drug clofazimine. In vitro, under physiological conditions, these micelles demonstrate sustained drug release. In vivo, throughout the drug release process, they provide a highly specific and sensitive 19F MRI signal. Even after extended exposure, these fluoropolymer tracers show biocompatibility, as confirmed by the histological analysis. Moreover, the characteristics of these polymers can be broadly adjusted by design to meet the wide range of criteria for preclinical and clinical settings. Therefore, micellar 19F MRI tracers display physicochemical properties suitable for in vivo imaging, such as relaxation times and non-toxicity, and high performance as drug carriers, highlighting their potential as both diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

Abstract
Due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and potential systemic toxicity, chemotherapy often fails to elicit satisfactory anti-tumor responses, so how to activate anti-tumor immunity to improve the therapeutic efficacy remains a challenging problem. Photothermal therapy (PTT) serves as a promising approach to activate anti-tumor immunity by inducing the release of tumor neoantigens in situ. In this study, we designed tetrasulfide bonded mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (MSNs) loaded with the traditional drug doxorubicin (DOX) inside and modified their outer layer with polydopamine (DOX/MSN-4S@PDA) for comprehensive anti-tumor studies in vivo and in vitro. The MSN core contains GSH-sensitive tetrasulfide bonds that enhance DOX release while generating hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to improve the therapeutic efficacy of DOX. The polydopamine (PDA) coating confers acid sensitivity and mild photothermal properties upon exposure to near-infrared (NIR) light, while the addition of hyaluronic acid (HA) to the outermost layer enables targeted delivery to CD44-expressing tumor cells, thereby enhancing drug accumulation at the tumor site and reducing toxic side effects. Our studies demonstrate that DOX/MSN@PDA-HA can reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in vivo, inducing potent immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells and improving anti-tumor efficacy. In addition, DOX/MSN@PDA-HA significantly suppresses tumor metastasis to the lung and liver. In summary, DOX/MSN@PDA-HA exhibits controlled drug release, excellent biocompatibility, and remarkable tumor inhibition capabilities through synergistic chemical/photothermal combined therapy.

Abstract
Gastric cancer, a gastrointestinal tumor with high morbidity and lethality, is often treated using strategies that are not as effective as they could be due to the locally advanced stage. Although pre-operative neoadjuvant chemotherapy can degrade the tumor stage to afford the possibility of surgery, it still possesses the problems of high systemic toxicity and low selectivity. In this work, we constructed an intelligent multi-functional nanoplatform (NNPIP NPs) with synergistic effects of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), which consisted of the nickel/nickel phosphide (Ni/Ni-P) nanosphere as the core, polyethyleneimine (PEI) as the shell, and the loaded indocyanine green (ICG). The mutual reinforcement of heat generated by the core and photosensitizer under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation is highly effective in the synergistic action of PTT. And co-delivery of ICG with nanoparticles into the cell enhances the PDT effect by reducing the consumption of singlet oxygen (1O2). Ultimately, this therapeutic strategy in vivo not only shrunk tumors but even eliminated tumors completely in a quarter of samples, which may be considered as a potential alternative to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and called "neoadjuvant phototherapy". In addition, as a nanoplatform based on transition metal nickel, NNPIP NPs could also be considered as a potential contrast agent for T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein, we can diagnose and achieve pre-surgical downstaging of tumors and hope to improve R0 resection rates with lower toxicity and higher selectivity.

Abstract
Mercury emissions from the industrial sector have become an undeniable concern for researchers due to their toxic health effects. Efforts have been made to develop green, efficient, and reliable methods for removal of mercury from wastewater. Sorption process promises fruitful results for the decontamination of cations from wastewater. Among the number of used sorbents, metal sulfides have been emerged as an appropriate material for removing toxic metals that possess good affinity due to sulfur-based active sites for Hg through "Lewis's acid-based soft-soft interactions." Herein, nickel-sulfide nanoparticles were synthesized, followed by their incorporation in chitosan microspheres. FTIR analysis confirmed the synthesis of nickel sulfide-chitosan microspheres (NiS-CMs) displaying sharp bands for multiple functional groups. XRD analysis showed that the NiS-CMs possessed a crystallite size of 42.1 nm. SEM analysis indicated the size of NiS-CMs to be 950.71 μm based on SEM micrographs. The sorption of mercury was performed using the NiS-CMs, and the results were satisfactory, with a sorption capacity of 61 mg/g at the optimized conditions of pH 5.0, 80 ppm concentration, in 60 min at 25 °C. Isothermal models and kinetics studies revealed that the process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isothermal model best fitted to experimental data. It was concluded that the NiS-CMs have emerged as the best choice for removing toxic mercury ions with a positive impact on the environment.

Abstract
Developing photothermal solar driven membrane distillation (PSDMD) is of great importance in providing fresh water for remote off-grid regions. The production of freshwater through the PSDMD is driven by the temperature difference between feed and distillate sides created via the addition of efficient photothermal nanostructures. Here we proposed nickel sulfides and nickel tellurium nanoparticles (NPs) to be loaded into the polymeric membrane to enhance its performance. Ag and CuSe NPs are also considered for comparison as they are previously used for membrane distillation (MD). Our theoretical approach showed that all of the considered NPs increased the temperature of the PVDF membrane by around a few degrees. NiS and NiTe2 NPs are the most efficient solar light-to-heat converters compared to NiTe and NiS2 NPs due to their efficient absorption over the visible range. PVDF membrane loaded with 25% of NiCs NPs and a porosity of 32% produced a transmembrane vapor flux between 22 and 27 L/m2h under a 10-times-amplified sun intensity. Under the same conditions, the PVDF membrane loaded with CuSe and Ag NPs produced 15 and 18 L/m2h of vapor flux, respectively. The implantation of NPs through the membrane not only increased its surface temperature but also possessed a high porosity which provided a higher distillation and energy efficiency that reached 58% with NiS NPs. Finally, great agreement between our theoretical model and experimental measurement is obtained.

Abstract
Combinatorial photothermal therapy and chemotherapy is an extremely promising tumor therapeutic modality. However, such systems still remain challenges in stimulus sensitivity, avoiding drug leakage, and therapeutic safety. To solve these problems, we engineered actively loaded doxorubicin (DOX) and gold nanorod (GNR) liposomes through embedding stiff hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) in the liposomal water cavity (HMLGDB) to resist the influence of shear force of GNRs to prevent drug leakage. Under 808 nm laser irradiation, the ambient temperature was raised greatly because of the photothermal conversion of GNRs, thereby rupturing the lipid layer and then triggering the DOX release. The results of in vitro experiments showed that the low concentration of HMLGDB (15 μg/mL) could effectively overcome the MCF-7 cells (human breast cancer cell line) by the increase of DOX concentration intracellularly and the good photothermal effect of GNRs. After intravenous injection, HMLGDB exhibited intratumor aggregation and PTT capacity. Furthermore, the combined chemo-photothermal antitumor strategy demonstrated a high inhibition of tumor growth and low damage to normal tissues. The developed hybrids provide a paradigm for efficient combinatorial photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemotherapy (CT).

Abstract
A targeted drug delivery system was developed to accumulate specific drugs around tumor cells based on the redox, temperature, and enzyme synergistic responses of mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-NH2) and Doxorubicin (DOX) for tumor therapy were prepared and loaded into the pores of MSN- NH2 to obtain DOX@MSN(DM NPs). Hyaluronic acid (HA) was used as the backbone and disulfide bond was used as the linker arm to graft carboxylated poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm-COOH) to synthesize the macromolecular copolymer (HA-SS-PNIPAAm), which was modified to DM NPs with capped ends to obtain the nano-delivery system DOX@MSN@HA-SS-PNIPAAm(DMHSP NPs), and a control formulation was prepared in a similar way. DMHSP NPs specifically entered tumor cells via CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis; the high GSH concentration (10 mM) of cells severed the disulfide bonds, the hyaluronidase sheared the capped HA to open the pores, and increased tumor microenvironment temperature due to immune response can trigger the release of encapsulated drugs in thermosensitive materials.In vitroandin vivoantitumor and hemolysis assays showed that DMHSP NPs can accurately target hepatocellular carcinoma cells with a good safety profile and have synergistic effects, which meant DMHSP NPs had great potential for tumor therapy.

Abstract
We have developed a multifunctional hydrogel dressing (denoted as dressing-2 : 1) using silver-doped yolk-like nickel sulfide (Ag(8.5%)@NiS2-x), polyacrylamide (PAM), and chitosan (CS). Ag(8.5%)@NiS2-x has tremendous potential in antibacterial applications mainly due to the following advantages: (i) it has excellent optical absorption in the 200-2500 nm range and can be combined with near-infrared laser for photothermal therapy; (ii) it possesses peroxidase characteristic, which can catalyze low-concentration hydrogen peroxide to produce highly effective bactericidal hydroxyl radicals; (iii) silver doping gives it the ability to destroy the inherent components of bacteria. Moreover, the PAM/CS hydrogel can adsorb both bacteria and inflammatory secretions, enhancing the sterilization ability of Ag(8.5%)@NiS2-x and promoting tissue healing. Our work highlights the great potential of dressing-2 : 1 as a multifunctional hydrogel dressing for effective antibacterial wound healing.

Abstract
Over the past few years, nanotechnology has been attracting considerable research attention because of their outstanding mechanical, electromagnetic and optical properties. Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field comprising nanomaterials, nanoelectronics, and nanobiotechnology, as three areas which extensively overlap. The application of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) has drawn much attention offering significant advances, especially in the field of medicine by increasing the therapeutic index of drugs through site specificity preventing multidrug resistance and delivering therapeutic agents efficiently. Apart from drug delivery, some other applications of MNPs in medicine are also well known such as in vivo and in vitro diagnostics and production of enhanced biocompatible materials and nutraceuticals. The use of metallic nanoparticles for drug delivery systems has significant advantages, such as increased stability and half-life of drug carrier in circulation, required biodistribution, and passive or active targeting into the required target site. Green synthesis of MNPs is an emerging area in the field of bionanotechnology and provides economic and environmental benefits as an alternative to chemical and physical methods. Therefore, this review aims to provide up-to-date insights on the current challenges and perspectives of MNPs in drug delivery systems. The present review was mainly focused on the greener methods of metallic nanocarrier preparations and its surface modifications, applications of different MNPs like silver, gold, platinum, palladium, copper, zinc oxide, metal sulfide and nanometal organic frameworks in drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Highly effective photothermal conversion performance coupled with high resolution temperature detection in real time is urgently needed for photothermal therapy (PTT). Herein, ultra-small Cu2S nanoparticles (NPs) were designed to absorb on the surface of NaScF4: Yb3+/Er3+/Mn2+@NaScF4@SiO2 NPs to form a central-satellite system, in which the Cu2S NPs play the role of providing significant light-to-heat conversion ability and the Er3+ ions in the NaScF4: Yb3+/Er3+/Mn2+ cores act as a thermometric probe based on the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technology operating in the biological windows. A wavelength of 915 nm is used instead of the conventional 980 nm excitation wavelength to eliminate the laser induced overheating effect for the bio-tissues, by which Yb3+ can also be effectively excited. The temperature resolution of the FIR-based optical thermometer is determined to be better than 0.08 K over the biophysical temperature range with a minimal value of 0.06 K at 298 K, perfectly satisfying the requirements of biomedicine. Under the radiation of 915 nm light, the Cu2S NPs exhibit remarkable light-to-heat conversion capacity, which is proved by photothermal ablation testing of E. coli. The results reveal the enormous potential of the present NPs for PTT integrated with real-time temperature sensing with high resolution.

Abstract
Metal sulfide nanomaterials (MeSNs) are a novel class of metal-containing nanomaterials composed of metal ions and sulfur compounds. During the past decade, scientists found that the MeSNs engineered by specific approaches not only had high biocompatibility but also exhibited unique physicochemical properties for cancer therapy, such as Fenton catalysis, light conversion, radiation enhancement, and immune activation. To clarify the development and promote the clinical transformation of MeSNs, the first section of this paper describes the appropriate fabrication approaches of MeSNs for medical science and analyzes the features and limitations of each approach. Secondly, we sort out the mechanisms of functional MeSNs in cancer therapy, including drug delivery, phototherapy, radiotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, gas therapy, and immunotherapy. It is worth noting that the intact MeSNs and the degradation products of MeSNs can exert different types of anti-tumor activities. Thus, MeSNs usually exhibit synergistic antitumor properties. Finally, future expectations and challenges of MeSNs in the research of translational medicine are spotlighted.
