Abstract
Ag2 S nanoparticles (NPs) emerge as a unique system that simultaneously features in vivo near-infrared (NIR) imaging, remote heating, and low toxicity thermal sensing. In this work, their capabilities are extended into the fields of optical coherence tomography (OCT), as contrast agents, and NIR probes in both ex vivo and in vivo experiments in eyeballs. The new dual property for ocular imaging is obtained by the preparation of Ag2 S NPs ensembles with a biocompatible amphiphilic block copolymer. Rather than a classical ligand exchange, where surface traps may arise due to incomplete replacement of surface sites, the use of this polymer provides a protective extra layer that preserves the photoluminescence properties of the NPs, and the procedure allows for the controlled preparation of submicrometric scattering centers. The resulting NPs ensembles show extraordinary colloidal stability with time and biocompatibility, enhancing the contrast in OCT with simultaneous NIR imaging in the second biological window.

Abstract
In this work, we describe a simple wet chemical route for preparing silver sulfide nanoparticles (Ag2S) encapsulated with thioglycolic acid (TGA). By using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) microanalysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS), we have found that these nanoparticles were enrobed by TGA molecules and they have an Ag/S ratio nearly equal to 2.2 and a nearly spherical shape with two average size populations. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy has shown that these nanoparticles are highly luminescent, photostable and photobleaching resistant and they emit in the first biologic window with a band peaking in the NIR region at 915 nm. We have demonstrated through a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay protocol and using U-87 MG human living cells that these nanoparticles are biocompatible with a viability ratio higher than 80% for a concentration equal to 100 μg mL-1. By investigating the effect of pH, ionic strength and thermal quenching on the PL emission, we have shown that these nanoparticles provide a convenient stable tool to measure temperature in the biological range with a relative thermal sensitivity higher than 5% per °C and they may be used as suitable fluorescent probes for living cell imaging and intracellular temperature mapping.

Abstract
Single doped CaWO4:Er3+phosphors were synthesized and studied for application of optical thermal sensing within a wide range of 98-773 K. Ratiometric strategy utilizing two luminescence intensity ratios, one between host and Er3+band (LIR1) and second between different Er3+transitions (LIR2), results in self-referencing temperature readouts. The presence of two temperature-dependent parameters could improve thermometric characteristics and broaden the working temperature range compared to a usual single-parameter thermometer. Thermometric performances of prepared samples were evaluated in terms of thermal sensitivities, temperature resolution and repeatability. The highest sensitivity of 2.09% K-1@300 K was found for LIR1, whereas LIR2provided more accurate thermal sensing with a temperature resolution of 0.06-0.1 K. Effect of Er3+doping concentration on sensing properties were studied. The presented findings indicate that CaWO4:Er3+phosphors are perspective in dual-mode thermal sensing with high sensitivity and sub-degree resolution.

[PMID: 35896538 PMCID: PMC9329371 DOI: 10.1038/s41377-022-00932-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
Thermal resolution (also referred to as temperature uncertainty) establishes the minimum discernible temperature change sensed by luminescent thermometers and is a key figure of merit to rank them. Much has been done to minimize its value via probe optimization and correction of readout artifacts, but little effort was put into a better exploitation of calibration datasets. In this context, this work aims at providing a new perspective on the definition of luminescence-based thermometric parameters using dimensionality reduction techniques that emerged in the last years. The application of linear (Principal Component Analysis) and non-linear (t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding) transformations to the calibration datasets obtained from rare-earth nanoparticles and semiconductor nanocrystals resulted in an improvement in thermal resolution compared to the more classical intensity-based and ratiometric approaches. This, in turn, enabled precise monitoring of temperature changes smaller than 0.1 °C. The methods here presented allow choosing superior thermometric parameters compared to the more classical ones, pushing the performance of luminescent thermometers close to the experimentally achievable limits.

Abstract
Temperature monitoring is useful in medical diagnosis, and essential during hyperthermia treatments to avoid undesired cytotoxic effects. Aiming to control heating doses, different temperature monitoring strategies have been developed, largely based on luminescent materials, a.k.a. nanothermometers. However, for such nanothermometers to work, both excitation and emission light beams must travel through tissue, making its optical properties a relevant aspect to be considered during the measurements. In complex tissues, heterogeneity, and real-time alterations as a result of therapeutic treatment may have an effect on light-tissue interaction, hindering accuracy in the thermal reading. In this Tutorial Review we discuss various methods in which nanothermometers can be used for temperature sensing within heterogeneous environments. We discuss recent developments in optical (nano)thermometry, focusing on the incorporation of luminescent nanoparticles into complex in vitro and in vivo models. Methods formulated to avoid thermal misreading are also discussed, considering their respective advantages and drawbacks.

Abstract
Photon upconversion in lanthanide-based materials has recently shown compelling advantages in a wide range of fields due to their exceptional anti-Stokes luminescence performances and physicochemical properties. In particular, the latest breakthroughs in the optical manipulation of photon upconversion, such as the precise tuning of switchable emission profiles and lifetimes, open up new opportunities for diverse frontier applications from biological imaging to therapy, nanophotonics and three-dimensional displays. A summary and discussion on the recent progress can provide new insights into the fundamental understanding of luminescence mechanisms and also help to inspire new upconversion concepts and promote their frontier applications. Herein, we present a review on the state-of-the-art progress of lanthanide-based upconversion materials, focusing on the newly emerging approaches to the smart control of upconversion in aspects of light intensity, colors, and lifetimes, as well as new concepts. The emerging scientific and technological discoveries based on the well-designed upconversion materials are highlighted and discussed, along with the challenges and future perspectives. This review will contribute to the understanding of the fundamental research of photon upconversion and further promote the development of new classes of efficient upconversion materials towards diversities of frontier applications in the future.

Abstract
Temperature of tissues and organs is one of the first parameters affected by physiological and pathological processes, such as metabolic activity, acute trauma, or infection-induced inflammation. Therefore, the onset and development of these processes can be detected by monitoring deviations from basal temperature. To accomplish this, minimally invasive, reliable, and accurate measurement of the absolute temperature of internal organs is required. Luminescence nanothermometry is the ideal technology for meeting these requirements. Although this technique has lately undergone remarkable developments, its reliability is being questioned due to spectral distortions caused by biological tissues. In this work, how the use of bright Ag2 S nanoparticles featuring temperature-dependent fluorescence lifetime enables reliable and accurate measurement of the absolute temperature of the liver in mice subjected to lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation is demonstrated. Beyond the remarkable thermal sensitivity (≈ 3% °C-1 around 37 °C) and thermal resolution obtained (smaller than 0.3 °C), the results included in this work set a blueprint for the development of new diagnostic procedures based on the use of intracorporeal temperature as a physiological indicator.

Abstract
Advances in enzymes involve an efficient biocatalytic process, which has demonstrated great potential in biomedical applications. However, designing a functional carrier for enzymes equipped with satisfactory degradability and loading efficiency, remains a challenge. Here, based on transformable liquid metal (LM), a spinose nanodrum is designed as protein carrier to deliver enzyme for tumor treatment. With the assistance of spines and a special drum-like shape, it is found that the spiny LM can carry much more enzymes than spherical LM under the same condition. Benefiting from the satisfactory enzyme loading efficiency of spiny LM, a plasma amine oxidase immobilized spinose LM nanosystem enveloped with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-Fe3+ (LMPE) is fabricated for photothermal and cascade catalytic tumor therapy. Activated by the acidic condition in the tumor microenvironment, the LMPE can oxidize spermine (Spm) and spermidine (Spd) to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) for Fenton catalytic reaction to produce the lethal hydroxyl radical (•OH) for tumor cell killing. Combined with remarkable photothermal performance of LM, LMPE exhibits significant inhibition of tumor in vivo.
