Abstract
The spotlight has shifted to near-infrared (NIR) luminescent materials emitting beyond 1000 nm, with growing interest due to their unique characteristics. The ability of NIR-II emission (1000-1700 nm) to penetrate deeply and transmit independently positions these NIR luminescent materials for applications in optical-communication devices, bioimaging, and photodetectors. The combination of rare earth metals/transition metals with a variety of matrix materials provides a new platform for creating new chemical and physical properties for materials science and device applications. In this review, the recent advancements in NIR emission activated by rare earth and transition metal ions are summarized and their role in applications spanning bioimaging, sensing, and optoelectronics is illustrated. It started with various synthesis techniques and explored how rare earths/transition metals can be skillfully incorporated into various matrixes, thereby endowing them with unique characteristics. The discussion to strategies of enhancing excitation absorption and emission efficiency, spotlighting innovations like dye sensitization and surface plasmon resonance effects is then extended. Subsequently, a significant focus is placed on functionalization strategies and their applications. Finally, a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and proposed strategies for rare earth/transition metal ion-doped near-infrared luminescent materials, summarizing the insights of each section is provided.

Abstract
Ultrasmall Au25(MPA)18 clusters show great potential in biocatalysts and bioimaging due to their well-defined, tunable structure and properties. Hence, in vivo pharmacokinetics and toxicity of Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) are very important for clinical translation, especially at high dosages. Herein, the in vivo hematological, tissue, and neurological effects following exposure to Au NCs (300 and 500 mg kg-1) were investigated, in which the concentration is 10 times higher than in therapeutic use. The biochemical and hematological parameters of the injected Au NCs were within normal limits, even at the ultrahigh level of 500 mg kg-1. Meanwhile, no histopathological changes were observed in the Au NC group, and immunofluorescence staining showed no obvious lesions in the major organs. Furthermore, real-time near-infrared-II (NIR-II) imaging showed that most of the Au25(MPA)18 and Au24Zn1(MPA)18 can be metabolized via the kidney. The results demonstrated that Au NCs exhibit good biosafety by evaluating the manifestation of toxic effects on major organs at ultrahigh doses, providing reliable data for their application in biomedicine.

Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2024; 326:H900-H906. [PMID: 38363213 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00787.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
Imaging tools are crucial for studying the vascular network and its barrier function in various physiopathological conditions. Shortwave infrared (SWIR) window optical imaging allows noninvasive, in-depth exploration. We applied SWIR imaging, combined with vessel segmentation and deep learning analyses, to study real-time dextran probe extravasation in mice experiencing intermittent hypoxia (IH)-a characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea associated with potential cardiovascular alterations due to early vascular permeability. Evidence for permeability in this context is limited, making our investigation significant. C57Bl/6 mice were exposed to normoxia or intermittent hypoxia for 14 days. Then SWIR imaging between 1,250 and 1,700 nm was performed on the saphenous artery and vein and on the surrounding tissue after intravenous injection of labeled dextrans of two different sizes (10 or 70 kDa). Postprocessing and segmentation of the SWIR images were conducted using deep learning treatment. We monitored high-resolution signals, distinguishing arteries, veins, and surrounding tissues. In the saphenous artery and vein, after 70-kD dextran injection, tissue/vessel ratio was higher after intermittent hypoxia (IH) than normoxia (N) over 500 seconds (P < 0.05). However, the ratio was similar in N and IH after 10-kD dextran injection. The SWIR imaging technique allows noninvasive, real-time monitoring of dextran extravasation in vivo. Dextran 70 extravasation is increased after exposure to IH, suggesting an increased vessel permeability in this mice model of obstructive sleep apnea.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We demonstrate that SWIR imaging technique is a useful tool to monitor real-time dextran extravasation from vessels in vivo, with a high resolution. We report for the first time an increased real-time dextran (70 kD) extravasation in mice exposed to intermittent hypoxia for 14 days compared with normoxic controls.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease characterized by cartilage degeneration and persistent pain. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays a significant role in OA inflammation and pain. Recent studies have revealed the significant role of PGE2-mediated skeletal interoception in the progression of OA, providing new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of OA. This aspect also deserves special attention in this review. Additionally, PGE2 is directly involved in pathologic processes including aberrant subchondral bone remodeling, cartilage degeneration, and synovial inflammation. Therefore, celecoxib, a commonly used drug to alleviate inflammatory pain through inhibiting PGE2, serves not only as an analgesic for OA but also as a potential disease-modifying drug. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the discovery history, synthesis and release pathways, and common physiological roles of PGE2. We discuss the roles of PGE2 and celecoxib in OA and pain from skeletal interoception and multiple perspectives. The purpose of this review is to highlight PGE2-mediated skeletal interoception and refresh our understanding of celecoxib in the pathogenesis and treatment of OA.

Abstract
Real-time, noninvasive, and nonradiative bone imaging can directly visualize bone health but requires bone-targeted probes with high specificity. Herein, we propose that carboxyl-rich fluorescent nanoprobes are easily absorbed by macrophages in bone marrow during circulation, enabling optical bone marrow imaging in vivo. We used PbS/CdS core-shell quantum dots with NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) emission as substrates to prepare the carboxyl-rich nanoprobe. In vivo NIR-IIb fluorescence imaging with the nanoprobes showed high resolution and penetration depth in bone tissues and allowed for imaging-guided fracture diagnosis. Bone tissue slices showed substantial accumulation of carboxyl nanoprobes in the bone marrow and strong colocalization with macrophages. Similar results with CdSe quantum dots and an organic nanofluorophore suggest that carboxyl surface modification is effective to achieve bone marrow targeting, providing a novel strategy for developing bone/bone marrow imaging probes.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms, enigmatic communities of microorganisms enclosed in an extracellular matrix, still represent an open challenge in many clinical contexts, including orthopedics, where biofilm-associated bone and joint infections remain the main cause of implant failure. This study explores the scenario of biofilm infections, with a focus on those related to orthopedic implants, highlighting recently emerged substantial aspects of the pathogenesis and their potential repercussions on the clinic, as well as the progress and gaps that still exist in the diagnostics and management of these infections. The classic mechanisms through which biofilms form and the more recently proposed new ones are depicted. The ways in which bacteria hide, become impenetrable to antibiotics, and evade the immune defenses, creating reservoirs of bacteria difficult to detect and reach, are delineated, such as bacterial dormancy within biofilms, entry into host cells, and penetration into bone canaliculi. New findings on biofilm formation with host components are presented. The article also delves into the emerging and critical concept of immunometabolism, a key function of immune cells that biofilm interferes with. The growing potential of biofilm metabolomics in the diagnosis and therapy of biofilm infections is highlighted, referring to the latest research.
