Article Abstract
Recently, we developed ultrasmall molybdenum disulfide (MoS) quantum dots for computed tomography (CT) and multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT). But, due to rapid body elimination and limited blood circulation time, the tumor uptake of the dots is low. In our study, this problem was solved via designing an amino-modified biodegradable nanomaterial based on MoS quantum-dots-doped disulfide-based SiO nanoparticles (denoted MoS@ss-SiO) for multimodal application. By integrating the MoS quantum dots into clearable SiO nanoparticles, this nanoplatform with an appropriate particle size can not only degrade and excrete in a reasonable period induced by redox responsiveness of glutathione but also exhibit a high tumor uptake due to the longer blood circulation time. Moreover, hyaluronic acid and chlorin e6 (Ce6) were adsorbed on the outer shell for tumor-targeting effect and photodynamic therapy, respectively. So, this biodegradable and clearable theranostic nanocomposite, which is applicable in integrated fluorescence/CT/MSOT imaging-guided combined photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy, is very promising in biomedical applications in the future.

Silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO NPs) are a novel material with a wide range of applications whose cumulative effects in the body pose certain health risks. The types of gastric injuries caused by different-sized SiO NPs and their mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Based on this, we established a mouse subchronic exposure model (10 mg/kg/d, 21 consecutive days of tube-feeding) with different SiO NP sizes (50, 300, and 1000 nm) in conjunction with in vitro MC9 and BMMCs models (160 μg/mL exposure for 24 h) to explore the gastric injury mechanisms.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) presents a significant clinical challenge, with conventional therapies carrying substantial risks, including urinary retention, sexual dysfunction, and prolonged recovery. To address the urgent need for safer, ultra-minimally invasive alternatives, we developed a sonosensitizing nanoplatform using copper-manganese-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Cu-Mn@SiO) for ultrasound-induced sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Here, we demonstrate that this innovative strategy provides highly effective and precisely targeted therapy for BPH.

Detecting low-concentration foodborne viruses in complex samples has long posed a great challenge. Here, we propose a colorimetric enhancement-surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) quantitative dual-mode immunochromatographic assay (ICA), characterized by high flexibility, sensitivity, and stability, which can rapidly and accurately detect viruses in various environments, including field, home, and clinical laboratory settings. A multifunctional SERS nanozyme tag (DSAIA) is customized using dendritic mesoporous SiO as the core, which is densely loaded with AuIr catalytic particles and coated with a layer of highly active 35 nm Au nanoparticles on the exterior, thereby simultaneously achieving monodispersity, strong peroxidase activity, and a high density of efficient SERS hotspots.

An innovative composite membrane was developed by combining polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with graphene oxide (GO), titania (TiO), and silica (SiO) nanoparticles (PGTS). This innovative membrane was created using solution casting and electrospinning techniques to enhance its surface area and hydrophilic characteristics, while incorporating photocatalytic properties for light-induced oil decomposition. The membrane structure was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

To enhance the performance of fluorine-free firefighting foam, a mixed dispersion system comprising silica nanoparticles (SiO NPs), guar gum (GG), and surfactants was developed and systematically evaluated. Compared with systems containing only NPs or GG, the combined formulation significantly improved foam stability and rheological properties. The optimized GG-NPs formulation exhibited the lowest drainage volume and the highest storage modulus, indicating enhanced structural integrity.
