Am J Otolaryngol 2024; 45:104454. [PMID: 39142078 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjoto.2024.104454] [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: 06/16/2024] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze the safety and effectiveness of a new model of surgery combined with Photodynamic therapy for treating Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP). METHODS Review the case data of patients with RRP who opted for comprehensive surgery combined with Photodynamic therapy at the Nanjing BenQ Medical Center, from January 2021 to May 2023. The efficacy of this program was evaluated by comparing the annual number of surgeries and Derkay scores before and after the surgery. RESULTS A total of 23 RRP patients were included in the study. After treatment, the recurrence rate was 65.2 % (15/23), with an average recurrence time of 94.3 ± 50.8 days. The average Derkay score at the time of recurrence was significantly lower than the average pre-treatment Derkay score (P < 0.001). The average annual recurrence rate before treatment was 2.2 ± 1.3, compared to 1.5 ± 1.5 after treatment, with no significant difference (P = 0.16). However, subgroup analysis revealed a significant decrease in the annual recurrence rate of adult-onset RRP after treatment (P = 0.01). The most common adverse reaction was mild pharyngeal pain (11/23). There were 3 cases of new-onset vocal cord adhesions. No patients experienced serious respiratory-related adverse reactions, anesthesia-related adverse reactions, or systemic phototoxic reactions. CONCLUSION In conclusion, this study indicates that surgery combined with Photodynamic therapy (PDT) might be a safe and effective option for treating RRP, especially in patients with Adult-Onset Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (AORRP).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intense pulsed light (IPL) is used for the treatment and improvement of various skin issues. However, patients often experience local skin burning and pain after IPL treatment. Cooling and analgesic measures are indispensable. AIMS To investigate the clinical effect of thermal shock therapy on pain relief and reduction of adverse reactions during IPL therapy. PATIENTS/METHODS A total of 60 female patients with facial photoaging who received IPL therapy were enrolled in the study. As a comparative split-face study, one side of the face was randomly selected as the control side. The other side was given thermal shock therapy before and after the IPL treatment immediately as analgesic side. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain degree of the patients. The telephone follow-ups regarding the occurrence of adverse reactions were conducted respectively on the 2nd day, 7th day, and 1 month after treatment. RESULTS The VAS score and skin temperature of analgesia side was lower than that of control side at different stages of treatment. In terms of adverse reactions, the incidence of transient facial redness on the analgesic side was lower than that on the control side. Two patients showed slight secondary pigmentation on the control side, and the other patients showed no other adverse reactions on both sides. CONCLUSIONS Thermal shock therapy assisted IPL therapy can reduce skin temperature during treatment, effectively relieve patients' pain, reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions caused by heat injury, and improve patients' comfort level.

Abstract
With over a million cases detected each year, skin disease is a global public health problem that diminishes the quality of life due to its difficulty to eradicate, propensity for recurrence, and potential for post-treatment scarring. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment with minimal invasiveness or scarring and few side effects, making it well tolerated by patients. However, this treatment requires further research and development to improve its effective clinical use. Here, a piezoelectric-driven microneedle (PDMN) platform that achieves high efficiency, safety, and non-invasiveness for enhanced PDT is proposed. This platform induces deep tissue cavitation, increasing the level of protoporphyrin IX and significantly enhancing drug penetration. A clinical trial involving 25 patients with skin disease was conducted to investigate the timeliness and efficacy of PDMN-assisted PDT (PDMN-PDT). Our findings suggested that PDMN-PDT boosted treatment effectiveness and reduced the required incubation time and drug concentration by 25% and 50%, respectively, without any anesthesia compared to traditional PDT. These findings suggest that PDMN-PDT is a safe and minimally invasive approach for skin disease treatment, which may improve the therapeutic efficacy of topical medications and enable translation for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI) is a method that specifically kills target cells by combining a photosensitizer and irradiation with light at the appropriate wavelength. The natural amino acid, 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), is the precursor of endogenous porphyrins in the heme biosynthesis pathway. This review summarizes the recent progress in understanding the biosynthetic pathways and regulatory mechanisms of 5-ALA synthesis in biological hosts. The effectiveness of 5-ALA-aPDI in destroying various groups of pathogens (viruses, fungi, yeasts, parasites) was presented, but greater attention was focused on the antibacterial activity of this technique. Finally, the clinical applications of 5-ALA in therapies using 5-ALA and visible light (treatment of ulcers and disinfection of dental canals) were described.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) has emerged as an alternative approach for port-wine stain (PWS), which was primarily treated with pulsed dye laser (PDL). This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMME-PDT for PWS and to explore influential factors on the efficacy. METHODS A total of 254 patients were enrolled. Patients received an intravenous injection of HMME at 5 mg/kg. Lesion areas were irradiated with 532-nm light for 20-25 min. Efficacy was assessed according to fading of lesions and graded as excellent (≥90 %), good (60 %-89 %), fair (20 %-59 %), or poor (<20 %). Adverse events were recorded. Clinical data were analyzed including gender, age, lesion sub-type, lesion location and number of treatments. RESULTS Overall, 72.4 % of patients achieved an effective response, with 27.6% showing excellent efficacy, 24.8 % showing good efficacy and 20.1 % showing fair efficacy. Only 27.6 % showed poor efficacy. Patients under the age of 18 obtained a better efficacy than adults. Lesions in face showed a better therapeutic outcome than those in neck or trunk and extremities. A more effective response was seen in pink type compared with nodular thickening type. Multiple HMME-PDT treatments could improve the clinical response. Lesion location, lesion sub-type, number of treatments were independent influential factors on efficacy. Adverse events included edema, blister, crust, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, pain, itch and burning sensation. No severe systemic side events were observed. CONCLUSIONS HMME-PDT was effective for treating PWS and was safe and well-tolerated by patients. It is worth further investigation in efficacy and safety involving more patients from medical institutions in different regions in China. The optimal treatment parameters and treatment protocols are still being explored in the clinical treatment for PWS.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 45:103915. [PMID: 38128289 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2023.103915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic scars, an abnormal wound-healing response to burn injuries, are characterized by massive fibroblast proliferation and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix and collagen. 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is a promising therapy for hypertrophic scar, details of the mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in ALA-PDT against hypertrophic scar fibroblasts. METHODS The morphologies of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs) treated with ALA-PDT were observed under a light microscopy. The viability of HSFs was detected using the CCK-8 assay. HSFs-populated collagen gel contraction assays were conducted to examine the fibroblast contractility and the cytotoxicity of HSFs in 3D collagen tissues were observed using confocal microscopy. The effect of ALA-PDT on TGF-β1/Smad2/3/4 signaling pathway activation and effector gene expression were verified by immunoprecipitation, western blot and real-time quantitative PCR analysis. RESULTS We observed significant changes in cell morphology after ALA-PDT treatment of HSFs. As ALA concentration and light dose increased, the viability of HSFs significantly decreased. ALA-PDT can significantly alleviate the contractile capacity and promote the death of HSFs induced by TGF-β1 treatment in a three-dimensional collagen culture model. TGF-β1 treatment of HSFs can significantly induce phosphorylation of Smad2/3 (p-Smad2/3) in whole cells, as well as p-Smad2/3 and Smad4 proteins into the nucleus and increase the mRNA levels of collagen 1/3 and α-SMA. ALA-PDT hampers the TGF-β1-Smad2/3/4 signaling pathway activation by inducing K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation of Smad4. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide evidence that ALA-PDT can inhibit fibroblast contraction and promote cell death by inhibiting the activation of the TGF-β1 signaling pathway that mediates hypertrophic scar formation, which may be the basis for the efficacy of ALA-PDT in the treatment of hypertrophic scars.

Abstract
Warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and can involve multiple parts of skin and mucosa, of which periungual and subungual warts are the most difficult to treat. Periungual or subungual wart is verruca vulgaris growing around or under the fingernail, destroying and deforming the nail and nail bed. Currently, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy and CO2 laser are often used for the treatment. Clinically, few doctors routinely use photodynamic therapy (PDT) to treat viral warts. We used PDT combined with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy and curettage to successfully treat a case of intractable periungual and subungual warts.

Abstract
Modified 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (M-PDT) is a novel therapeutic modality for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) that is reported to be effective and well tolerated. However, the mechanisms underlying its antitumor effects are not fully understood. In this research, we investigated the effects of M-PDT on pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death characterized by cell swelling, ruptures of cell membrane, and inflammatory cytokine release, in two human cSCC cell lines, SCL-1 and HSC-5. We found that M-PDT triggered pyroptosis in a dose-dependent manner, as evidenced by increased lactate dehydrogenase release, propidium iodide staining, and expression of pyroptosis-related proteins, such as NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), N-terminal of gasdermin D (N-GSDMD), cleaved caspase-1, and mature interleukin 1 beta (IL-1B) in both cell lines. This process was inhibited by treatment with MCC950, an NLRP3-specific inhibitor, suggesting the involvement of the NLRP3 inflammasome in M-PDT-induced pyroptosis. We also demonstrated that M-PDT activated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling, which is required for pyroptosis induction, as treatment with SP600125, a JNK inhibitor, suppressed the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins after M-PDT. JNK activation enhanced M-PDT-induced pyroptosis, highlighting the significance of the JNK pathway in M-PDT. Moreover, M-PDT increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, which are responsible for JNK activation and pyroptosis induction. In summary, our results revealed that M-PDT triggers pyroptosis through ROS-mediated JNK activation and subsequent NLRP3 inflammasome activation in cSCC cells, providing a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of M-PDT and promoting its clinical application.

Lasers Surg Med 2023; 55:871-879. [PMID: 37814511 DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is an effective treatment for multiple actinic keratosis (AK). However, PDT-induced pain often discontinues the therapy to reduce its efficacy, limiting its application. If modified painless PDT schedule with shorter photosensitizer dressing and higher dose illumination could achieve good efficacy in AK, it is still unknown. OBJECTIVES To explore the efficacy and pain tolerance of the modified painless PDT (M-PDT) in facial multiple AK. METHODS A split-face controlled clinical study including 14 patients with facial multiple AK was conducted. The patients received conventional PDT (C-PDT) on the left and M-PDT in the contralateral area. The left area (C-PDT) was illuminated by a red light-emitting diode light (144 J/cm2 ) after applying the 10% ALA cream for 3 h; the other had illumination for a total light dose of 288 J/cm2 after applying the 10% ALA cream for 0.5 h. The primary endpoint was the lesion clearance rate at 1-month postthree sessions of PDT. Secondary endpoints included pain scores, the incidence of adverse events during treatment, and cosmetic outcomes. RESULTS At 1 month following three treatments, the total lesion clearance rate was comparable between M-PDT and C-PDT (91.6% vs. 89.0%). While the lesion clearance rate of M-PDT was higher than that of C-PDT in the Grade III lesions (86.5% vs. 72.0%, respectively) (p < 0.05). M-PDT achieved a 100% lesion clearance rate for Grade I lesions earlier than C-PDT, with M-PDT treated twice and C-PDT treated thrice. Moreover, the pain score during illumination was significantly lower for M-PDT than for C-PDT (p < 0.01). Regarding photoaging, the Global Subjective Skin Aging Assessment score showed that the total and atrophy scores of C-PDT and M-PDT were significantly improved, and M-PDT also reduced discoloration. There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between C-PDT and M-PDT. CONCLUSIONS M-PDT is comparable to C-PDT's efficacy for treating facial multiple AK, resulting in much lower pain scores.

Abstract
Background Hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment for port-wine stains (PWS), and pain is the main adverse effect of this therapy. General anesthesia is commonly used for pain management during PDT, but the effect of general anesthetics on the subsequent treatment efficacy of PDT in PWS has not been reported. Objectives To assess the use of general anesthesia combined with PDT compared with PDT alone in 207 PWS patients, and to provide further safety and efficacy data on this combined therapy. Methods Propensity score matching (PSM) was used at a 2:1 ratio to create a general anesthetic group (n = 138) and a highly comparable nonanesthetic group (n = 69). The clinical outcomes were evaluated, and the treatment reactions and adverse effects were recorded after one treatment with PDT. Results After matching, there was no significant difference in the demographic data of the patients in the two groups (p > 0.05), while the treatment efficacy was significantly higher in the general anesthetic group than in the nonanesthetic group (76.81 vs. 56.52%, p < 0.05). Moreover, logistic regression analysis confirmed that patients receiving general anesthesia showed an association with a good response to PDT (OR = 3.06; 95% CI, 1.57-6.00; p = 0.0011). Purpura lasted longer in the general anesthetic group, but the other treatment reactions and adverse effects were similar in the two groups (p > 0.05). No serious systemic adverse reactions were observed. Conclusion We recommend this combined therapy, which is associated with painless, as a high efficacy treatment option for PWS patients, especially for patients with a poor response to multiple PDT alone treatments.

Abstract
Background: We previously found that modified 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (M-PDT) is painless and effective in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) treatment, however, the regulatory mechanism of M-PDT in cSCC is still unclear.Objective: To clarify the effect and relevant regulatory mechanism of M-PDT in cSCC.Methods: The cSCC apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry, TUNEL staining and Cleaved-caspase-3 immunofluorescence, respectively. The autophagy-related characterization was detected by monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), GFP-LC3B autophagic vacuoles localization and mRFP-EGFP tandem fluorescence-tagged LC3B construct, respectively. The expression of autophagy-related proteins and Akt/mTOR signaling molecules were examined by Western blot. ROS generation was measured by DCFH-DA probe.Results: We found that M-PDT induced cSCC apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, and this result was related to autophagic flux blockage. The phenomenon is confirmed by the results that M-PDT could induce autophagosomes accumulation and upregulate LC3-II and p62 expression. M-PDT elevated co-localization of RFP and GFP tandem-tagged LC3B puncta in cSCC cell, reflecting autophagic flux blockage, and this was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, we noticed that M-PDT induced accumulated autophagosomes-dependent apoptosis via targeting ROS-mediated Akt/mTOR signaling. Suppression of Akt potentiated M-PDT-induced upregulation of LC3-II and p62 levels, whereas Akt activation and ROS inhibition rendered resistance to these events. In addition, we observed that lysosomal dysfunction was involved in M-PDT-triggered accumulated autophagosomes-dependent cSCC apoptosis.Conclusion: Our data demonstrates that M-PDT inhibits cSCC through blocking Akt/mTOR-mediated autophagic flux.

Abstract
Mycobacterium marinum can cause skin infection. Treatment of this infection often requires a chronic multidrug regimen. For refractory cases with progression, relapse, or slow recovery, long-term medication may cause problems such as ineffectiveness, poor patient compliance, and drug intolerance. We report a refractory case with a total treatment time of 2 years, successfully cured by the combination of antibiotics and photodynamic therapy. Our case shows that combination treatment with antibiotics and photodynamic therapy may be an effective approach for refractory Mycobacterium marinum infection.

Abstract
Corynespora cassiicola (C. cassiicola) is a common plant pathogen but occasionally causes infections in human skin. Poor outcome and death in such cases were then often reported even after a long course of antifungal treatment. In the present case, the patient was a 54-year-old farmer who presented with a ten-month history of an ulcerative lesion in the right lower extremity after a minor skin trauma. The patient had been undergoing immunosuppressive treatment for nephrotic syndrome for 2 months before the onset of the skin lesion. The fungal isolate from the lesion was identified as C. cassiicola by morphology and molecular sequencing. The patient was treated with ALA-PDT 5 times at 10 days intervals. The lesion disappeared and has not recurred in the 8-month follow-up. To our knowledge, it is the first time ALA-PDT has been used for treatment of a skin lesion caused by C. cassiicola. A retrospective analysis of the literature found 9 cases of C. cassiicola infection. All 9 patients had a history of immunodeficient conditions and had experienced a long course of antifungal therapy. Despite the rigorous antifungal treatment, 2 patients with CARD9 gene deficiency ultimately died. Our case suggests that photodynamic therapy is a potentially beneficial approach for treatment of fungal infection in immunosuppressed patients who failed to respond to antifungal agents.

Abstract
AIMS This report intended to assess the safety and efficiency of general anaesthesia with preserved spontaneous breathing for pain management in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of port-wine stains (PWS) in paediatric patients. METHODS This study included 1960 Hemoporfin PDT procedures performed under general anaesthesia on 560 PWS patients. Medical records were retrospectively analysed. All of the procedures performed under general anaesthesia with preserved spontaneous breathing. RESULTS The patients comprised males (43.93%) and females (56.07%). Ninety percent of cases were ASA class I, and 10% were class II, no case was class III or higher. Adverse events accompanying general anaesthesia included postoperative irritability (8.98%), carbon dioxide pressure (PCO2) >50 mmHg (15.97%), movement during surgery (6.98%), vomiting (0.2%), laryngospasm (0.2%), unplanned endotracheal intubation (0.05%), upper airway obstruction (0.05%), and hypoxia (0.1%). The FLACC score was <4 points in 84% of cases and 4∼6 points in 16% of cases. CONCLUSIONS General anaesthesia with preserved spontaneous breathing has few complications and appears safe and feasible for PDT in most children with PWS.

Abstract
Port wine stain (PWS) is a congenital and progressive capillary malformation characterized by structural abnormalities of intradermal capillaries and postcapillary venules. The visible manifestation is often considered a disfigurement and the accompanying social stigma often causes serious emotional and physical impact. Hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) is a newly authorized photosensitizer for treating PWS in China. Hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) has successfully treated thousands of Chinese patients with PWS since 2017, and HMME-PDT may be one of the most promising strategies for the treatment of PWS. However, there are few reviews published about the clinical use of HMME-PDT. So in this article, we want to briefly review the mechanism, efficacy evaluation, effectiveness and influencing factors, and the common postoperative reactions and treatment suggestions of HMME-PDT in the treatment of PWS.

Clinical practice Guidelines for 5-Aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy for acne vulgaris in China. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2022; 41:103261. [PMID: 36587863 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.103261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
A variety of evidence suggest that 5-Aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is clinically effective in management of acne vulgaris. Several clinical guidelines for acne recommend PDT as an alternative treatment modality for severe acne. However, there is a lack of detailed clinical guideline for PDT in acne treatment. To propose up-to-date, evidence-based and practical recommendations on application of ALA-PDT for acne vulgaris, dermatologists and PDT experts from the Photodynamic Therapy Research Center of the CMA and Photodynamic Therapy Rehabilitation Training Center of CARD achieved consensus and guidelines based on careful evaluation of published literature, expert opinions and experience. ALA-PDT plays a therapeutic role in all four major pathogenesis of acne, and is suitable for moderate to severe acne and scar-prone acne, especially for patients who cannot tolerate or refused systemic antibiotics and isotretinoin. The efficacy and adverse reactions of ALA-PDT are closely related to therapeutic parameters including ALA concentration, incubation time, light source and dosage. Proper pretreatment helps to improve transdermal absorption of ALA and enhances its efficacy. We reviewed and proposed recommended protocols for four PDT procedures including conventional PDT (C-PDT), modified painless PDT (M-PDT), intense pulsed light PDT (IPL-PDT) and daylight PDT (DL-PDT). M-PDT with lower ALA concentration (3-5%), shorter incubation time (30 mins), and lower dose but prolonged illumination (630nm, 40-60 mW/cm2, 150 J/cm2) can improve lesions of moderate to severe acne vulgaris effectively with minimal pain and easier manipulation, and thus was recommended by Chinese dermatologists. Lastly, management of adverse reactions were addressed.

Int J Nanomedicine 2022; 17:6607-6619. [PMID: 36578442 PMCID: PMC9791998 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s384196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background White-light photodynamic therapy (wPDT) has been used in the treatment of cancer due to its convenience, effectiveness and less painful. However, the limited penetration of white-light into the tissues leads to a reduced effectiveness of solid tumor treatment. Methods Two short-wavelength aggregation-induced emission (AIE) nanoparticles were prepared, PyTPA@PEG and TB@PEG, which have excitation wavelengths of 440 nm and 524 nm, respectively. They were characterized by UV, fluorescence, particle size and TEM. The ability of nanoparticles to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and kill cancer cells under different conditions was investigated in vitro, including white-light, after white-light penetrating the skin, laser. A white-light fiber for intra-tumor irradiation was customized. Finally, induced tumor elimination with fiber-mediated wPDT was confirmed in vivo. Results In vitro, both PyTPA@PEG and TB@PEG are more efficient in the production ROS when exposed to white-light compared to laser. However, wPDT also has a fatal flaw in that its level of ROS production after penetrating the skin is reduced to 20-40% of the original level. To this end, we have customized a white-light fiber for intra-tumor irradiation. In vivo, the fiber-mediated wPDT significantly induces tumor elimination with maximized therapeutic outcomes by irradiating the interior of the tumor. In addition, wPDT also has the advantage that its light source can be adapted to a wide range of photosensitizers (wavelength range 400-700 nm), whereas a laser of single wavelength can only target a specific photosensitizer. Conclusion This method of using optical fiber to increase the tissue penetration of white light can greatly improve the therapeutic effect of AIE photosensitizers, which is needed for the treatment of large/deep tumors and holds great promise in cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective method for treating actinic keratosis (AK) with pain during illumination representing the major side effect. The efficacy of two different cooling methods for pain relief in PDT of AK in the head region was compared. METHODS Randomized, assessor-blinded, half side comparison study in 20 patients with symmetrically distributed AK on the head. Conventional PDT was performed on both halves of the scalp or face by applying 20% aminolevulinic acid cream (ALA) and subsequent illumination with incoherent red light. During illumination one side was cooled with a cold air blower (CAB) and the other with a standard fan (FAN) in a randomized fashion. Pain and skin temperature were recorded during and after PDT. The phototoxic skin reaction was evaluated up to seven days after PDT. The clearance rate of AK was assessed at 3 and 6 months after PDT. RESULTS Mean pain (VASmean), maximum pain intensity (VASmax) and the mean skin temperature during PDT were significantly lower with CAB as compared to FAN (VASmean: 2.7 ± 1.4 vs. 3.7 ± 2.1, p = 0.003; VASmax: 3.8 ± 2.0 vs. 4.8 ± 2.5, p = 0.002; 26.8 ± 2.0 °C vs. 32.1 ± 1.7 °C; p=<0.001). The severity of the phototoxic skin reaction and the clearance rate of AK did not differ between the two cooling methods. CONCLUSION Cooling with CAB during PDT has a greater analgesic effect than cooling with FAN. Patients with a lower skin temperature during illumination tended to experience less pain, however, this effect did not reach the level of statistical significance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on the expression of Nav1.7 in spinal dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. METHODS The primary DRG neurons from newborn SD rats were cultured. The cells were identified by neuron-specific enolase immunofluorescence staining. DRG neurons were divided into four groups: control group, photosensitizer group, laser group, and PDT group. The cell viability was detected by a cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of Nav1.7 in DRG neurons. RESULTS The purity of the cultured primary DRG neurons was greater than 90%. Compared with the control group, no significant change was found in the cell viability of the photosensitizer group, while the viability in the laser group and the PDT group was significantly reduced. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Nav1.7 were significantly greater in the laser group and the PDT group than in the control group. At the same time, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Nav1.7 were greater in the laser group than in the PDT group. CONCLUSION Both laser and PDT could upregulate the expression of Nav1.7 in DRG neurons, and the promoting effect might be related to the pain induced by clinical treatment. This study provides a research basis for the use of laser and PDT to treat pain. A better understanding of the relationship between Nav1.7 and PDT can help clinicians better manage PDT-related pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The two-step irradiance schedule in photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging treatment method with a remarkable analgesic effect. We evaluated the influencing factors of pain in condyloma acuminate (CA) treatment with a two-step irradiance schedule. METHODS All patients were randomly divided into a two-step irradiance group and control group. The two-step irradiance group used 40 mW/cm2 for the first 8min, followed by 80 mW/cm2 for 16 min, while the control group used 80 mW/cm2 for 20 min. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores and pain-influencing factors were recorded accordingly. RESULTS In the two-step irradiance and control groups, 64 and 63 patients completed the treatment, respectively. The NRS scores of the two-step irradiance group were significantly lower than that of the control group (p < .001), with a low fluence rate inducing less pain compared with a high fluence rate (p < .001). Moreover, when the total fluence accumulated to 57.6 J/cm2 , the pain experienced by patients reached its peak. The NRS score of the urethral orifice group was the highest, and the male external genitalia group was the lowest. The NRS score was at its lowest in the first session and highest in the second session. There was a linear relationship between pain and wart size. Among these influencing factors, the fluence rate had the greatest impact on pain. CONCLUSION The two-step irradiance schedule provides better analgesic effects than standard treatment irradiation while showing similar treatment efficacy. Factors that influence pain include high fluence rate, CA at the urethral orifice, second therapy session, wart size, and the interval between CO2 laser and ALA-PDT.

Abstract
Pain is a common condition in dermatology. The aim of this review is to analyse the characteristics of pain in dermatology. Some skin diseases are conventionally known to cause pain; e.g. ulcers, pyoderma gangrenosum and herpes zoster. Common dermatoses, such as psoriasis or atopic dermatitis, can also cause significant pain. Some conditions are characterized by neuropathic pain and/or pruritus, without visible primary lesions: e.g. the neurocutaneous diseases, including small fibre neuropathies. Patients often fear pain in skin surgery; however, surgical procedures are rather well tolerated and any pain is mainly due to administration of local anaesthetic. Some therapies may also be uncomfortable for the patient, such as photodynamic therapy or aesthetic procedures. Thus, pain in dermatology is common, and its aetiology and characteristics are very varied. Knowledge of the different situations that cause pain will enable dermatologists to propose suitable analgesic solutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study was aimed to investigate the chlorin e6 photosensitizer distribution in the tumor and tumor border (5 mm) during low-dose photodynamic treatment and to increase the effectiveness of the therapy for skin neoplasms. METHODS Sensitized boundaries of neoplasms were evaluated by video fluorescence imaging. The study of changes in the chlorin e6 distribution before/after photodynamic therapy and in the process of low-dose photodynamic exposure was carried out by the method of spectral fluorescence diagnostics. RESULTS All 19 patients with basal-cell skin cancer had a contrast of chlorin e6 accumulation compared to normal tissues. 3 hours after intravenous administration of the photosensitizer at a dose of 1 mg/kg, the chlorin e6 concentration was: in normal tissues - 0.18 mg/kg, in the tumor - 1.26 mg/kg, in the tumor border - 0.63 mg/kg. In most cases, the fluorescence indices of chlorin e6 in tumor tissues after low-dose photodynamic therapy increased and exceeded the values before light exposure. CONCLUSION Low-dose photodynamic therapy seems to be the optimal method for treating neoplasms, which does not cause severe pain in patients during the light exposure and allows locally increasing of the photosensitizer concentration in tumor tissues. This method of photodynamic therapy can improve the effectiveness of thе treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with natural daylight is effective and less painful than conventional PDT when treating actinic keratosis (AK), however its weather dependency is restrictive. This prospective open-label observational single-arm study examined efficacy and safety of simulated daylight (SDL)-PDT using the IndoorLux® system in combination with 5-aminolevulinic acid gel (BF-200 ALA). METHODS 12 patients with mild/moderate AK on the face or scalp received two SDL-PDTs. BF-200 ALA was applied prior to a 2 h illumination with the IndoorLux® System. Patients evaluated pain during and after SDL-PDT on visual analogue scales (VAS). Primary endpoint was lesion count reduction three months after the second SDL-PDT. Secondary endpoint was pain during and after illumination. RESULTS Median individual clearance rate was 83.75% (66.7-100.0%); 33.3% of the patients and 84.9% of the lesions were completely cleared. Median size of the remaining partially cleared lesions decreased by 42.9%. The first SDL-PDT was pain-free for 7 patients (58.3%, VAS=0). Median VAS during and after the first treatment was 0 (0.0-0.3). For the second SDL-PDT, median VAS was 0.1 (0.0-5.5, during) and 0 (0.0-4.5, after). Both SDL-PDTs were pain-free for 6 patients. CONCLUSION SDL-PDT was effective and nearly pain-free, emphasizing its advantages and potential for common practice.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), performed with low-fluence rates, can improve antitumor responses and prevent adverse effects. However, photosensitizers (PSs) for low-fluence PDT treatment are rarely reported. Herein, we exploited an amphiphilic chlorin-based PS, named DYSP-C34, which has a variety of beneficial biological properties, such as improved water solubility, better cellular permeability, specific localization and enhanced phototoxicity under low light dose irradiation. In addition, DYSP-C34 could effectively accumulate in a mouse subcutaneous xenograft tumor and exhibit substantial tumor regression after irradiation with an extremely low light fluence (6 J/cm2). Meanwhile, the excellent phototoxicity could stimulate the host immune system and lead to a strong inhibition of tumor growth synergistically. These results indicated the potential value of DYSP-C34 as a chlorin-type PS for low-fluence PDT application.

Lasers Surg Med 2022; 54:804-812. [PMID: 35066886 DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Conventional ALA-PDT (C-PDT) has limited efficacy in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), and there is obvious pain during treatment, which limits its clinical application. We sought to modify photodynamic therapy into a more painless and effective treatment. METHODS We modified C-PDT by reducing the incubation time of the pro-sensitizer and increasing the light dose; we named this method modified ALA-PDT (M-PDT). We compared the pain response and curative effect between C-PDT and M-PDT in cSCC mouse models. Pain-related proteins were examined by western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Tumor progression-associated signaling pathways were analyzed by RNA-seq and western blot analysis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was measured with a ROS test kit and Microplate reader. RESULTS M-PDT greatly reduced pain during treatment. Interestingly, when the cSCC tumor volume increased to 150-200 mm3 , M-PDT almost completely eliminated the tumors, while C-PDT did not. The better curative effect of M-PDT might be due to the stronger suppression of the Stat3, Erk1/2, and mTOR signaling pathways. Moreover, flow cytometry demonstrated that M-PDT could recruit CD8+ T cells to inhibit cSCC progression. Further investigation determined that the different mechanisms of C-PDT and M-PDT were related to more ROS generation induced by M-PDT. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that M-PDT, which is more painless and effective than C-PDT, is expected to provide a solution for the treatment of cSCC.

Use of Intraoperative Frozen Section in the Surgical Management of Patients with Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer. J Skin Cancer 2021; 2021:4944570. [PMID: 34760320 PMCID: PMC8575635 DOI: 10.1155/2021/4944570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Intraoperative frozen section (IFS) is often utilised in the surgical treatment of nonmelanocytic skin cancer (NMSC) in sensitive facial regions when Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is not available. Objective To compare the outcome of NMSC patients with excision performed with and without IFS. Materials and Methods A retrospective, single-centre study was performed on all patients who had undergone resection of NMSC with and without IFS control at the National University Hospital (NUH) from 2010 to 2015. Results 116 patients were recruited, of which 86 had IFS and 30 did not. The complete excision rate of patients with IFS was higher at 87.2% (p=0.0194), need for secondary operation was lower at 1.2% (p=0.005), and need for postsurgery radiotherapy or chemotherapy was lower at 1.2% (p=0.001). The average duration of surgery in patients who underwent IFS was 95.4 minutes compared to 70.1 minutes in cases which did not undergo IFS. Conclusion Our study showed an increased complete excision rate and reduced need for secondary surgeries and adjuvant therapy in patients with IFS. However, a longer operative duration was required. Use of IFS may be useful in patients with NMSC lesions in sensitive regions requiring complex reconstruction after tumour excision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is a frequent adverse event during photodynamic therapy, which can limit treatment acceptance. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and pain during photodynamic therapy with two irradiation protocols in patients with actinic keratosis on the face and scalp. METHODS In this intra-patient randomized controlled trial, participants were randomly allocated to receive photodynamic therapy with methyl aminolevulinate and red light on the right or left side with protocol 1 (irradiation device in contact with the skin) and protocol 2 (device 3 cm away from the skin). There was a 15-day interval between the protocols. The primary outcome was the frequency of mean intensity of moderate or severe pain during photodynamic therapy. Secondary outcomes were actinic keratosis clearance rate, protoporphyrin IX consumption, participant preference, skin appearance, and adverse events. RESULTS Forty-one participants were included, yielding 47 and 50 randomized sites for protocols 1 and 2. There was no difference in the frequency of moderate and severe pain, with a relative risk of 1.09 (95% CI 0.70-1.70), p>0.05. An actinic keratosis count reduction >60% was observed in both protocols (p<0.01), with no difference between them. There was no difference in protoporphyrin IX consumption. Most treated sites were of good to excellent quality. There was a greater patient preference for protocol 2 (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The pain intensity was similar between the protocols, and the protocols were equally effective for actinic keratosis clearance, protoporphyrin IX consumption, and improvement in the quality of the treated areas. Both protocols can be considered safe.

Abstract
Topical opioid formulations offer a potential solution to manage pain and decrease the use of systemic opioids. Synthesis of use and efficacy of topical opioids in dermatological conditions has not been well characterized. We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases from 1980 to February 2021. This study analyzed data from 14 articles and 263 patients on the use of topical opioids for pain related to chronic ulcers, burns, oral lichen planus, photodynamic therapy, and split-thickness skin grafts. Topical opioids included in this review were topical morphine and diamorphine. Common formulations consisted of 0.2-10 mg of opioid compounded with hydrogel or IntraSite gel. Topical opioids were variably effective in the use for pain control related to chronic ulcers and other dermatologic conditions. For example, the use of topical opioids appears to be effective in the reduction of pain related to pressure ulcers. Topical opioids were generally well tolerated. Insufficient data exist to adequately evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical opioid use in the context of nonpressure ulcers, burns, oral lichen planus, photodynamic therapy, and split-thickness skin grafts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A two-step irradiance schedule has been found to be useful for pain control during photodynamic therapy (PDT) on nonmelanotic skin cancer and condyloma acuminatum. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of a new three-step irradiance schedule derived from the psychological "peak-end rule" and two-step irradiance schedule in relieving pain during 5-aminolevulinic acid PDT (ALA-PDT) on acne. METHODS A total of 90 moderate to severe acne patients were enrolled in our study and randomly divided into two groups with a ratio of 1:1. They were treated by a light-emitting diode light source of 633 ± 10 nm after being incubated with 5% ALA for an hour using a two-step or three-step irradiance schedule, respectively. The total irradiance intensity was 84 J/cm2 of each session and the treatment interval was 2 weeks. Pain was recorded 30 min after each PDT using a visual analog scale (VAS). Follow-up was done at baseline and 2 weeks after each treatment. The numbers of lesions were counted after the third treatment through the pictures taken before and all the side effects were recorded at each follow-up visit. RESULTS Eighty-seven subjects completed the total three treatments (44 cases in Group A and 43 cases in Group B). The average VAS of Group B (1.61 ± 0.67) was significantly lower than that of Group A (3.14 ± 0.67), with a difference of 1.52 ± 0.08 (p < 0.0001) between them. Both groups received a similar effective rate after the total three sessions (88.64% vs. 88.37%, p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The new three-step irradiance method could relieve pain during ALA-PDT more significantly than the two-step schedule with a similar effective rate.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an established treatment option for low-risk basal cell carcinoma (BCC). BCC is the most common human cancer and also a convenient cancer in which to study PDT treatment. This review clarifies challenges to researchers evident from the clinical use of PDT in BCC treatment. It outlines the context of PDT and how PDT treatments for BCC have been developed hitherto. The sections examine the development of systemic and subsequently topical photosensitizers, light delivery regimens, and the use of PDT in different patient populations and subtypes of BCC. The outcomes of topical PDT are discussed in comparison with alternative treatments, and topical PDT applications in combination and adjuvant therapy are considered. The intention is to summarize the clinical relevance and expose areas of research need in the BCC context, ultimately to facilitate improvements in PDT treatment.

Abstract
Daylight photodynamic therapy (dPDT) uses sunlight as a light source to treat superficial skin cancer. Using sunlight as a therapeutic device has been present for centuries, forming the basis of photodynamic therapy in the 20th century. Compared to conventional PDT, dPDT can be a less painful, more convenient and an effective alternative. The first clinical uses of dPDT on skin cancers began in Copenhagen in 2008. Currently, aminolevulinic acid-mediated dPDT has been approved to treat actinic keratosis patients in Europe. In this review article, we introduce the history and mechanism of dPDT and focus on the pros and cons of dPDT in treating superficial skin cancers. The future applications of dPDT on other skin diseases are expected to expand as conventional PDT evolves.

Abstract
Introduction: Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease characterised by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus and affects approximately 10%–15% of women in their reproductive years. Pain is one of the predominant symptoms of the disease. Oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis and develops when there is an imbalance between the reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species production, and the elimination capacity of antioxidants in the reproductive tract. High levels of reactive oxygen species can induce pain indirectly through oxidative stress-associated inflammation or directly through sensitising the nociceptive neurons that transmit the signals to the cerebral sensory cortex which are perceived as a feeling of pain. Mitochondria are the main source of reactive oxygen species, which generate through oxidative phosphorylation. Given that the mitochondria are involved in reactive oxygen species formation and energy production, which are required for the activation and proliferation of peripheral lymphocytes, it has been suggested that mitochondrial DNA variants are involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This study has provided a better understanding of maternally inherited risk factors which contribute to the pain mechanisms associated with endometriosis. Results: Mitochondrial DNA haplogroup H was found to be significantly higher in women with endometriosis. This study was the first to report the association between the European mitochondrial haplogroup H and the risk of pain associated with endometriosis. Discussion: The results suggest that there are maternally inherited risk factors in women with endometriosis causing high reactive oxygen species production and oxidative stress, which facilitate pain generation in women with endometriosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of non-aggressive basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), 5-aminolevulinic acid nanoemulsion (BF-200ALA) has shown non-inferior efficacy when compared with methyl aminolevulinate (MAL), a widely used photosensitizer. Hexyl aminolevulinate (HAL) is an interesting alternative photosensitizer. To our knowledge, this is the first study using HAL-PDT in the treatment of BCCs. OBJECTIVES To compare the histological clearance, tolerability (pain and post-treatment reaction) and cosmetic outcome of MAL, BF-200 ALA and low-concentration HAL in the PDT of non-aggressive BCCs. METHODS Ninety-eight histologically verified non-aggressive BCCs met the inclusion criteria, and 54 patients with 95 lesions completed the study. The lesions were randomized to receive LED-PDT in two repeated treatments with MAL, BF-200 ALA or HAL. Efficacy was assessed both clinically and confirmed histologically at three months by blinded observers. Furthermore, cosmetic outcome, pain, post-treatment reactions fluorescence and photobleaching were evaluated. RESULTS According to intention-to-treat analyses, the histologically confirmed lesion clearance was 93.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 79.9-98.3) for MAL, 90.9% (95% CI = 76.4-96.9) for BF-200 ALA and 87.9% (95% CI = 72.7-95.2) for HAL, with no differences between the arms (P = 0.84). There were no differences between the arms as regards pain, post-treatment reactions or cosmetic outcome. CONCLUSIONS Photodynamic therapy with low-concentration HAL and BF-200 ALA has a similar efficacy, tolerability and cosmetic outcome compared to MAL. HAL is an interesting new option in dermatological PDT, since good efficacy is achieved with a low concentration.

Modified photodynamic therapy to minimize pain in the treatment of condylomata acuminata: A prospective, randomized, self-controlled study. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2020; 32:101915. [PMID: 32634656 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2020.101915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Revised: 06/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is a major concern associated with conventional photodynamic therapy (C-PDT). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, pain and safety of modified photodynamic therapy(M-PDT) for the treatment of condylomata acuminata. METHODS A prospective, randomized, self-controlled study was conducted. Warts were randomized to the M-PDT or C-PDT side. 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA; 20 %) was incubated for 3 h before patients were exposed to LED red light (100 J/cm2) on the C-PDT side and for 30 min before being exposed to LED red light (300 J/cm2) on the M-PDT side. Treatment was administered with 1-week interval for three weeks. The clearance rates were determined at one week and the recurrence rates at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment. The pain and other side effects were also investigated. RESULTS A total of 24 patients with condylomata acuminata were enrolled in this trial. Twenty patients completed the trial. The clearance rates were 98.17 % in the M-PDT side and 98.20 % in the C-PDT side(P > 0.05). The recurrence rates were 11.11 % and 10.53 % (P > 0.05). However, M-PDT was almost painless (mean score 0.3 ± 0.47, range 0∼1), which was significantly less than that on the C-PDT side (mean score 3.6 ± 0.94, range 0∼1) (P < 0.05). Local erythema, mild edema and erosion were observed on both sides. CONCLUSION The modified PDT is basically painless with similar efficacy to conventional PDT, which is a major breakthrough of pain management in PDT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Recently, there has been a rapid increase in the incidences of melanoma, which represents a serious threat to human health. Generally, tumor-microenvironment-responsive nanoparticle-based photothermal-photodynamic combination therapy (PTT-PDT) is characterized by intratumoral response and tumor targeting. In this study, we designed and synthesized hydrogen-peroxide-responsive protein biomimetic nanoparticles (MnO2 -ICG@BSA) for the treatment of melanoma. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Briefly, MnO2 -ICG@BSA was prepared using a mild protein synthesis method by loading indocyanine green (ICG) into a bovine serum albumin-manganese dioxide complex (MnO2 @BSA); next, its characteristics were determined. In addition, in vitro biocompatibility and antitumor efficacy were assessed using the classic cell counting kit-8 assay. Moreover, in vivo high-frequency ultrasound and thermal imaging were used to evaluate the oxygen-production capacity and photothermal conversion effect of MnO2 -ICG@BSA at the tumor site, and Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green (SOSG) was used to measure singlet oxygen levels in the tumor. The antitumor efficacy was assessed based on relative tumor size, bodyweight, survival curves, and hematoxylin and eosin staining. RESULTS The results showed that MnO2 -ICG@BSA has a high photothermal conversion efficiency, a strong singlet oxygen-generation ability, and high photothermal stability. In addition, in vitro PTT-PDT experiments showed that MnO2 -ICG@BSA has a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of B16F10 melanoma cells. Meanwhile, in vivo experiments showed that MnO2 -ICG@BSA has a significant inhibitory effect on melanoma in mice. Preliminary toxicity studies indicated that MnO2 -ICG@BSA exhibits low toxicity. CONCLUSION From the results, we can conclude that MnO2 -ICG@BSA could be used in PTT-PDT to treat melanoma, making it a good candidate material for PTT-PDT. Lasers Surg.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-established, non-invasive treatment modality that has shown desirable effects such as improvement of fine lines, dyspigmentation, and other signs of photodamage. Many patients seek to decrease, or reverse, effects of sun damage on the skin. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found in the body, has enormous potential to bind water which allows the skin to retain moisture and maintain elasticity. Topical application of HA has been found to produce anti-wrinkle effects. We conducted a pilot case series evaluating the safety and efficacy of a commercially available 2% 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) gel with hyaluronic acid (ALA-HA) and light-emitting diode-red light (LED-RL) for facial rejuvenation as determined by clinical assessments and digital skin analysis of rhytides, pore size, and erythema. All patients noted improvement of their skin and experienced minimal pain during PDT. Evaluation by dermatologists demonstrated significant improvement in overall skin appearance. Digital analysis of photographs revealed improvement of skin spots, wrinkles, pores, texture, UV spots, brown spots, red areas, and porphyrins. Our findings demonstrated safety and efficacy of this novel preparation of photodynamic gel with HA and subsequent activation with LED-RL.

MOP-dependent enhancement of methadone on the effectiveness of ALA-PDT for A172 cells by upregulating phosphorylated JNK and BCL2. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2020; 30:101657.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methadone, as a long-acting opioid analgesic, shows an ability to sensitize the treatment of ALA-PDT for glioblastoma cells (A172) in vitro by promoting apoptosis. However, the mechanisms how methadone enhances the effectiveness of ALA-PDT for tumor cells remains to be clarified. METHODS The expression of mu opioid receptor (MOP), apoptosis, phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and phosphorylated apoptosis regulator B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) were measured by flow cytometry. Cytotoxicity was determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). A MOP antagonist, naloxone, was used to evaluate the role of MOP in the above process. RESULTS It was found that A172 cells show the expression of MOP and that naloxone inhibits the enhancement of the methadone effect on apoptosis following ALA-PDT (p < 0.05). Phosphorylated JNK and BCL2 induced by ALA-PDT were promoted in the presence of methadone (p < 0.05). These methadone effects were also inhibited by naloxone (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that apoptosis induced by ALA-PDT is enhanced by methadone, mostly MOP-mediated, through the upregulation of accumulation of phosphorylated JNK and BCL2, leading to a promotion of cytotoxicity of ALA-PDT for A172 cells.

Abstract
Although having shown promising clinical outcomes, the effectiveness of 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and glioblastoma remains to be improved. The analgesic drug methadone is able to sensitize various tumors to chemotherapy. In this in vitro study, the influence of methadone to the effectiveness of ALA-PDT for SCC (FADU) and glioblastoma (A172) was investigated on the protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence, survival rates, apoptosis, and cell cycle phase, each with or without the presence of methadone. The production of PpIX was increased by methadone in FADU cells while it was decreased in A172 cells. The survival rates of both cell lines treated by ALA-PDT were significantly reduced by the combination with methadone (P < .05). Methadone also significantly increased the percentage of apoptotic cells and improved the effect of ALA-PDT on the cell cycle phase arrest in the G0/G1 phase (P < .05). This study demonstrates the potential of methadone to influence the cytotoxic effect of ALA-PDT for both SCC and glioblastoma cell lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous epidermal lesions induced by chronic exposure to ultraviolet light. Several topical and surgical treatments are available. For field cancerization, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a very effective noninvasive treatment with excellent outcome and cosmesis. The management of treatment-associated adverse events, however, is crucial to achieve the treatment aims and to ensure patients adherence to PDT. CASE REPORT: We report on adverse events and their management related to PDT. We conducted literature research on PUBMED (R). Also, we present a case of an uncommon adverse event-PDT-induced rosacea flare-up on scalp and eyes. The patient was treated successfully by submicrobial slow-release doxycycline orally. Conclusions: PDT is an excellent treatment option for multiple AKs such as in bald scalp field cancerization. The management of adverse events during and after PDT is an essential part of a successful treatment plan.
