Background: Vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) is regarded as a subtype of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Hence, extending progression-free survival (PFS) is crucial for enhancing the prognosis of VRL patients. Nevertheless, a lack of standard treatment options currently exists for VRL.

Background: Relapsed or refractory central nervous system lymphoma (rrCNSL) lacks established preferred treatment and carries an inferior prognosis. Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) showed promising effectiveness. Orelabrutinib is a second-generation BTKi with a high concentration in cerebrospinal fluid.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Stereotactic biopsy remains the gold standard for the pathological diagnosis of PCNSL. However, certain new auxiliary diagnostic methods are considered to have good application prospects; these include cytokine and tumor circulating DNA, among others.

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are used to treat refractory and recurrent B-cell lymphoma. When administered intravenously, CAR T cells can be detected in cerebrospinal fluid, and thus represent a promising method for the treatment of central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL). This meta-analysis aimed to clarify the effectiveness and safety of CAR T-cell therapy in the treatment of CNSL.

 Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a myeloid neoplasm with features of the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) and myeloproliferative neoplasm presenting with peripheral blood monocytosis and an inherent risk for transformation to acute myeloid leukemia, while the abnormal DNA methylation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of MDS, which is a disease of disordered differentiation. Recently, with the rapid development of molecular biology, hypomethylating agents (HMAs) for the treatment of MDS has gradually become a research focus. The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefits and risks of HMAs for patients with CMML.

Background: Central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) is an aggressive lymphoma. Studies investigating primary CNSL determined that the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) played an important role in pathogenesis. Ibrutinib, an oral BTK inhibitor, is a new treatment strategy for CNSL.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a common type of hematological malignant tumor, composed of multiple subtypes that originate from B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and natural killer cells. A diagnosis of NHL depends on the results of a pathology examination, which requires an invasive tissue biopsy. However, due to their invasive nature, tissue biopsies have many limitations in clinical applications, especially in terms of evaluating the therapeutic response and monitoring tumor progression.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are largely produced under pathological situations. To understand the etiology of disease, it is urgent to develop efficacious probes for detecting ROS. Herein, a novel nanoconjugate detection system constructed from gold clusters (AuNCs) and quantum dots (QDs) for fluorescence ratiometric-sensing ROS was reported.

The unique properties of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) facilitate them to be good candidates for cell and animal imaging. In our work, we developed a facile approach to synthesize nano-composites which is composed of UCNPs and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The nano-composites (UCNPs@BSA) exhibited dual fluorescence in the visible range and NIR range simultaneously.

It is an emerging focus to explore controlled release drug delivery systems for simultaneous cancer imaging and therapy. Herein, we synthesized a photothermal sensitive multifunctional nano-liposome drug delivery system, with doxorubicin wrapped in the hydropholic layer as the therapeutical agent and cypate doped in the hydrophobic layer as the diagnostic agent. A series of in vitro and in vivo characterization demonstrated the stability of synthesized liposome, as the DL% was 9 ± 1.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has recently emerged as an approach to enhance intratumoral accumulation of nanoparticles. However, conventional PDT is greatly limited by the inability of the excitation light to sufficiently penetrate tissue, rendering PDT ineffective in the relatively deep tumors. To address this limitation, we developed a novel PDT platform and reported for the first time the effect of deep-tissue PDT on nanoparticle uptake in tumors.
