Abstract
Radiofrequency ablation is a nominally invasive technique to eradicate cancerous or non-cancerous cells by heating. However, it is still hampered to acquire a successful cell destruction process due to inappropriate RF intensities that will not entirely obliterate tumorous tissues, causing in treatment failure. In this study, we are acquainted with a nanoassisted RF ablation procedure of cardiac tumor to provide better outcomes for long-term survival rate without any recurrences. A three-dimensional thermo-electric energy model is employed to investigate nanothermal field and ablation efficiency into the left atrium tumor. The cell death model is adopted to quantify the degree of tissue injury while injecting the Fe3O4 nanoparticles concentrations up to 20% into the target tissue. The results reveal that when nanothermal field extents as a function of tissue depth (10 mm) from the electrode tip, the increasing thermal rates were approximately 0.54362%, 3.17039%, and 7.27397% for the particle concentration levels of 7%, 10%, and 15% compared with no-particle case. In the 7% Fe3O4 nanoparticles, 100% fractional damage index is achieved after ablation time of 18 s whereas tissue annihilation approach proceeds longer to complete for no-particle case. The outcomes indicate that injecting nanoparticles may lessen ablation time in surgeries and prevent damage to adjacent healthy tissue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The effectiveness of current microwave ablation (MWA) therapies is limited. Administration of thermosensitive liposomes (TSLs) which release drugs in response to heat has presented a significant potential for enhancing the efficacy of thermal ablation treatment, and the benefits of targeted drug delivery. However, a complete knowledge of the mechanobiological processes underlying the drug release process, especially the intravascular drug release mechanism and its distribution in response to MWA needs to be improved. Multiscale computational-based modeling frameworks, integrating different biophysical phenomena, have recently emerged as promising tools to decipher the mechanobiological events in combo therapies. The present study aims to develop a novel multiscale computational model of TSLs delivery following MWA implantation. METHODS Due to the complex interplay between the heating procedure and the drug concentration maps, a computational model is developed to determine the intravascular release of doxorubicin from TSL, its transvascular transport into the interstitium, transport in the interstitium, and cell uptake. Computational models can estimate the interplays among liposome and drug properties, tumor perfusion, and heating regimen to examine the impact of essential parameters and to optimize a targeted drug delivery platform. RESULTS Results indicated that the synergy of TSLs with MWA allows more localized drug delivery with lower side effects. The drug release rate and tumor permeability play crucial roles in the efficacy of TSLs during MWA treatment. The computational model predicted an unencapsulated drug lime around the ablated zone, which can destroy more cancer cells compared to MWA alone by 40%. Administration of TSLs with a high release rate capacity can improve the percentage of killed cancer cells by 24%. Since the heating duration in MWA is less than 15 min, the presented combination therapy showed better performance for highly permeable tumors. CONCLUSION This study highlights the potential of the proposed computational framework to address complex and realistic scenarios in cancer treatment, which can serve as the future research foundation, including advancements in nanomedicine and optimizing the pair of TSL and MWA for both preclinical and clinical studies. The present model could be as a valuable tool for patient-specific calibration of essential parameters.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) mediated microwave ablation has the great potential at present to address challenges associated with treatment planning such as maximum heat generation in the vicinity of targeted tissues in lesser penetration time. Further, the antenna applicators injected in human phantom must be rigid and thin. The derivative-free optimization algorithms are carried out for optimum design of monopole, slot, dipole, and tapered slot antenna applicators for ablation of tumour tissues invasively. It is found that in terms of input impedance matching, the used multi-criterion Nelder-Mead optimization performs efficiently for tapered slot applicator achieving S11 value of -40 dB with much reduced antenna dimensions. In order to further escalate the performance of tapered slot antenna, gold (Au)-coated iron-based MNPs are suggested for tumor infusion. Spherical gold-coated shell material is preferrable for more sphericity of ablation zone, biocompatibility and due to high conductivity, heat generated in MNPs can be transferred to biological tissues more rapidly. The size, type, and shape of MNPs also influence the heat generation in tumor tissues. Thus, three different types of MNPs having high magnetization properties, Au@Fe3O4, Au@α-Fe2O3 and Au@γ-Fe2O3 have been employed to study the performance in terms of maximum rise in temperature, specific absorption rate (SAR), and area of ablation zone by varying core size radius of MNPs. Results demonstrate that increase in radius of MNP core helps in increasing the temperature distribution and reduction in ablation zone. The optimized lesion is achieved for 20 nm core radius of Au@Fe3O4.

Abstract
Ablation is a clinical cancer treatment, but some demands are still unsatisfied, such as electromagnetic interferences amongst multiple ablation needles during large tumour treatments. This work proposes a physical synthesis for composite particles of biocompatible iron oxide particles and liquid metal gallium (Ga) with different alternative-current (AC)-magnetic-field-induced heat mechanisms of magnetic particle hyperthermia and superior resistance heat. By some imaging, X-ray diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometer, utilised composite particles were clearly identified as the cluster of few iron oxides using the small weight ratio of high-viscosity liquid metal Ga as conjugation materials without surfactants for physical targeting of limited fluidity. Hence, well penetration inside the tissue and the promotion rate of heat generation to fit the ablation requirement of at least 60 °C in a few seconds are achieved. For the injection and the post-injection magnetic ablations, the volume variation ratios of mice dorsal tumours on Day 12 were expressed at around one without tumour growth. Its future powerful potentiality is expected through a percutaneous injection.

Distributed Sensing Network Enabled by High-Scattering MgO-Doped Optical Fibers for 3D Temperature Monitoring of Thermal Ablation in Liver Phantom. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 21:828. [PMID: 33513666 PMCID: PMC7865229 DOI: 10.3390/s21030828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Revised: 12/27/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Thermal ablation is achieved by delivering heat directly to tissue through a minimally invasive applicator. The therapy requires a temperature control between 50-100 °C since the mortality of the tumor is directly connected with the thermal dosimetry. Existing temperature monitoring techniques have limitations such as single-point monitoring, require costly equipment, and expose patients to X-ray radiation. Therefore, it is important to explore an alternative sensing solution, which can accurately monitor temperature over the whole ablated region. The work aims to propose a distributed fiber optic sensor as a potential candidate for this application due to the small size, high resolution, bio-compatibility, and temperature sensitivity of the optical fibers. The working principle is based on spatial multiplexing of optical fibers to achieve 3D temperature monitoring. The multiplexing is achieved by high-scattering, nanoparticle-doped fibers as sensing fibers, which are spatially separated by lower-scattering level of single-mode fibers. The setup, consisting of twelve sensing fibers, monitors tissue of 16 mm × 16 mm × 25 mm in size exposed to a gold nanoparticle-mediated microwave ablation. The results provide real-time 3D thermal maps of the whole ablated region with a high resolution. The setup allows for identification of the asymmetry in the temperature distribution over the tissue and adjustment of the applicator to follow the allowed temperature limits.

Abstract
The ferrospinels NixZn1_xFe2O4 (x = 0.0 and 0.6) nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully prepared by a sol-gel method and analyzed by TGA/DTA, XRD, SEM-EDS, UV-Vis-DRS, and pHIEP. The adsorption potential of NZF NPs towards the Bromophenol blue (BPB) dye was investigated. The batch adsorption efficiency parameters were studied including contact time, pH, initial dye concentrations and catalyst dosage. Results indicated that NZF crystallized in single-phase and exhibited smaller crystallite size (49 nm vs. 59.24 nm) than that of the pristine (ZF). The SEM analysis showed that the materials are elongated-like shape. NZF catalyst showed a red-shift of absorption bands and a more narrowed band gap (2.30 eV vs. 1.65 eV) as compared to ZF. The adsorption process was found to be highly dependent to the pH of the solution, dye concentration and adsorbent dose. Under optimum conditions of 5 mg.L–1 BPB, 0.5 g.L–1 NZF catalyst, pH = 6, and 25 °C, up to ≈ 86.30% removal efficiency could be achieved after 60 min. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model gave the best fit with highest correlation coefficients (R2 ≥ 0.99). A high specific surface area, a stabilized dispersion state of NZF NPs and the electrostatic interaction between the BPB-2 anions and the NZF-H3O+active sites on NZF surface were believed to be the main factors that can be responsible for the high adsorption efficiency.

Abstract
Among modern drug formulations, stimuli-responsive hydrogels also called "smart hydrogels" deserve a special attention. The basic feature of this system is the ability to change their mechanical properties, swelling ability, hydrophilicity, bioactive molecules permeability, etc., influenced by various stimuli, such as temperature, pH, electromagnetic radiation, magnetic field and biological factors. Therefore, stimuli-responsive matrices can be potentially used in tissue engineering, cell cultures and technology of innovative drug delivery systems (DDSs), releasing the active substances under the control of internal or external stimuli. Moreover, smart hydrogels can be used as injectable DDSs, due to gel-sol transition connected with in situ cross-linking process. Innovative smart hydrogel DDSs can be utilized as matrices for targeted therapy, which enhances the effectiveness of tumor chemotherapy and subsequently limits systemic toxicity. External stimulus sensitivity allows remote control over the drug release profile and gel formation. On the other hand, internal factors provide drg accumulation in tumor tissue and reduce the concentration of active drug form in healthy tissue. In this report, we summarise the basic knowledge and chemical strategies for the synthetic smart hydrogel DDSs applied in antitumor therapy.

Abstract
In this paper, the magnetite Fe3O4 surface was studied as a drug delivery system for the two commercially famous cancer treatment drugs, including Cisplatin and Mercaptopurine, using the density functional theory (DFT) computations. Adsorption properties, magnetic and electronic properties were calculated. Results indicate that the adsorptions are thermodynamically favorable and binding energies were decreased by increasing the concentration of the ligands adsorption on the Fe3O4 surface. Our spin-polarized calculations determine that the magnetization of all systems is greater than the pristine magnetite Fe3O4 surface witch is vital for drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia. This study provides a deep understanding of the interaction mechanism at the atomistic scale and proposed that magnetite Fe3O4 could be employed as an efficient drug carrier.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
It is worldwide known that the most common type of cancer among women is breast cancer. Traditional procedures involve surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy; however, these treatments are invasive and have serious side effects. For this reason, minimally invasive thermal treatments like microwave ablation are being considered. In this study, thermal behavior of three types of slot-coaxial antennas for breast cancer microwave ablation is presented. By using finite element method (FEM), all antennas were modeled to estimate the heat transfer in breast tumor tissue surrounded by healthy breast tissue. Experimentation was carried out by using the antennas inserted inside sphere-shaped-tumor phantoms with two different diameters, 1.0 and 1.5 cm. A microwave radiation system was used to apply microwave energy to each designed antenna, which were located into the phantom. A non-interfering thermometry system was used to measure the temperature increase during the experimentation. Temperature increases, recorded by the thermal sensors placed inside the tumor phantom surrounded by healthy breast phantom, were used to validate the FEM models. The results conclude that, in all the cases, after 240 s, the three types of coaxial slot antenna reached the temperature needed produce hyperthermia of the tumor volume considered in this paper.

Abstract
Cancer is a global epidemic and is considered a leading cause of death. Various cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy are available for the cure but those are generally associated with poor long-term survival rates. Consequently, more advanced and selective methods that have better outcomes, fewer side effects, and high efficacies are highly in demand. Among these is the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) which act as an innovative kit for battling cancer. Low cost, magnetic properties and toxicity properties enable SPIONs to be widely utilized in biomedical applications. For example, magnetite and maghemite (Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3) exhibit superparamagnetic properties and are widely used in drug delivery, diagnosis, and therapy. These materials are termed SPIONs when their size is smaller than 20 nm. This review article aims to provide a brief introduction on SPIONs, focusing on their fundamental magnetism and biological applications. The quality and surface chemistry of SPIONs are crucial in biomedical applications; therefore an in-depth survey of synthetic approaches and surface modifications of SPIONs is provided along with their biological applications such as targeting, site-specific drug delivery and therapy.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major health issues with increasing incidence worldwide. In spite of the existing conventional cancer treatment techniques, the cases of cancer diagnosis and death rates are rising year by year. Thus, new approaches are required to advance the traditional ways of cancer therapy. Currently, nanomedicine, employing nanoparticles and nanocomposites, offers great promise and new opportunities to increase the efficacy of cancer treatment in combination with thermal therapy. Nanomaterials can generate and specifically enhance the heating capacity at the tumor region due to optical and magnetic properties. The mentioned unique properties of nanomaterials allow inducing the heat and destroying the cancerous cells. This paper provides an overview of the utilization of nanoparticles and nanomaterials such as magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, nanorods, nanoshells, nanocomposites, carbon nanotubes, and other nanoparticles in the thermal ablation of tumors, demonstrating their advantages over the conventional heating methods.

Abstract
In this paper, we study magnetic and structural properties of silver and gold-coated iron nanoparticle as novel drug delivery systems for the two commercially famous cancer treatment drugs, using the density functional theory (DFT) computations. Our calculations show that silver and gold-coated iron nanoparticle have magnetization and the magnetic moment of the Fe atom in the Fe@(Ag/Au)n core-shells saturated to a value of about 3 μB. Thus the Fe@(Ag/Au)n core-shells are very promising to be functionalized for targeted drug delivery. Drug adsorption on the Gold coated iron show higher adsorption energy than Fe@Ag12 core-shell, Also, Mercaptopurine molecules showed higher adsorption energy than the Cisplatin. The Fe@Ag12 core-shells can deliver the drug into the cells while their properties are not significantly changed in the delivering process. Simulation results also have shown that in the low pH of tissue of a malignant tumor, the drug can be separated from the carrier which indicating the potential delivery vehicle of iron core-shells. Results of the calculations for core-shell structure of iron nanoparticle are very promising in biomedical applications and will contribute to the discovery of its novel applications in nanomedicine.

Feasibility of Using a Novel 2.45 GHz Double Short Distance Slot Coaxial Antenna for Minimally Invasive Cancer Breast Microwave Ablation Therapy: Computational Model, Phantom, and In Vivo Swine Experimentation. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2018; 2018:5806753.

Abstract
Microwave ablation (MWA) by using coaxial antennas is a promising alternative for breast cancer treatment. A double short distance slot coaxial antenna as a newly optimized applicator for minimally invasive treatment of breast cancer is proposed. To validate and to analyze the feasibility of using this method in clinical treatment, a computational model, phantom, and breast swine in vivo experimentation were carried out, by using four microwave powers (50 W, 30 W, 20 W, and 10 W). The finite element method (FEM) was used to develop the computational model. Phantom experimentation was carried out in breast phantom. The in vivo experimentation was carried out in a 90 kg swine sow. Tissue damage was estimated by comparing control and treated micrographs of the porcine mammary gland samples. The coaxial slot antenna was inserted in swine breast glands by using image-guided ultrasound. In all cases, modeling, in vivo and phantom experimentation, and ablation temperatures (above 60°C) were reached. The in vivo experiments suggest that this new MWA applicator could be successfully used to eliminate precise and small areas of tissue (around 20–30 mm2). By modulating the power and time applied, it may be possible to increase/decrease the ablation area.

Abstract
The development of efficient strategies for the magnetic hyperthermia ablation of tumors remains challenging. To overcome the significant safety limitations, we developed a thermally contractible, injectable and biodegradable material for the minimally invasive and highly efficient magnetic hyperthermia ablation of tumors. This material was composed of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Fe3O4. The thermal contractibility of HPMC/Fe3O4 was designed to avoid damaging the surrounding normal tissue upon heating, which was confirmed by visual inspection, ultrasound imaging and computed tomography (CT). The efficient injectability of HPMC/Fe3O4 was proven using a very small needle. The biosafety of HPMC/Fe3O4 was evaluated by MTT and biochemical assays as well as flow cytometry (FCM). All the aforementioned data demonstrated the safety of HPMC/Fe3O4. The results of in vitro and ex vivo experiments showed that the temperature and necrotic volume of excised bovine liver were positively correlated with the HPMC/Fe3O4 weight, iron content and heating duration. The in vivo experimental results showed that the tumors could be completely ablated using 0.06 ml of HPMC/60%Fe3O4 after 180 s of induction heating. We believe that this novel, safe and biodegradable material will promote the rapid bench-to-bed translation of magnetic hyperthermia technology, and it is also expected to bring a new concept for the biomaterial research field.

Abstract
Nanosized particles of AFe2O4(A = Mn, Co, Ni, or Zn) spinel ferrites were synthesized by coprecipitation from nonaqueous solutions using nitrate salts as starting reagents. The particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and magnetic measurements. Quasistatic magnetic measurements show superparamagnetic behavior with blocking temperature below room temperature for cobalt, nickel, and zinc spinel ferrite nanoparticles. Characteristic magnetic parameters of the particles including average magnetic moment of an individual nanoparticle and blocking temperature have been determined. The specific loss power which is released on the exposure of an ensemble of synthesized particles to a magnetic field is calculated and measured experimentally. It is shown that among all nanoferrites under study, the ZnFe2O4nanoparticles demonstrate the highest heating efficiency in AC magnetic fields. The key parameters responsible for the heating efficiency in AC magnetic field have been determined. The directions to enhance the SLP value have been outlined.
