Abstract
The defeat of cancer is still a challenge due to the existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) because they resist conventional chemotherapy via multifactor regulated mechanisms. Consequently, one-dimensional action toward CSCs cannot work. Herein, we used rationally designed hybrid nanoparticles as a combined cancer therapy, hoping to form a multidimensional control network. In this paper, gold/silver alloy nanoparticle decorated camptothecin nanocrystals were formulated according to complementary anti-CSC mechanisms from gold, silver, and organic drug. This smart drug formulation could combine chemotherapy and thermotherapy, target different tumor sites, and demonstrate versatile toxicity profiles from each component. Major results indicated that this nanosystem demonstrated indiscriminately effective cytotoxic/proapoptotic/necrotic activity against bulk MCF-7 cells and their CSC subpopulation, in particular under laser ablation. Moreover, this nanosystem displayed enhanced antineoplastic activity against CSC spheroids, resulting in a significant reduction in their number and size, that is, their self-renewal capacity. All the results indicated that CSCs upon treatment of these new hybrid nanoparticles underwent reduced stemness and conversion from the original quiescent state and recovered their sensitivity toward chemotherapy. The relevant anticancer mechanism was ascribed to NIR-pH dual responsive drug release, synergistic/combined thermo-chemotherapy of organic drug and inorganic alloy nanoparticles, enhanced cellular uptake mediated by alloy nanoparticles, and Ag+-induced biomembrane damage. This thermo-chemotherapy platform provides a new combinatorial strategy for inorganic and organic agents in the complete elimination of CSCs.

Abstract
In terms of synergistic cancer therapy, biological nanomaterials with a second near-infrared (NIR-II) window response can greatly increase photothermal effects and photoacoustic imaging performance. Herein, we report a novel stimuli-responsive multifunctional drug-loading system which was constructed by integrating miniature gold nanorods (GNR) as the NIR-II photothermal nanorods and cyclic ternary aptamer (CTA) composition as a carrier for chemotherapy drugs. In this system, doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX, a chemotherapy drug) binds to the G-C base pairs of the CTA, which exhibited a controlled release behavior based on the instability of G-C base pairs in the slightly acidic tumor microenvironment. Upon the 1064 nm (NIR-II biowindow) laser irradiation, the strong photothermal and promoted cargo release properties endow gold nanorods@CTA (GNR@CTA) nanoparticles displaying excellent synergistic anti-cancer effect. Moreover, the GNR@CTA of NIR also possesses thermal imaging and photoacoustic (PA) imaging properties due to the strong NIR region absorbance. This work enables to obtaining a stimuli-responsive “all-in-one” nanocarrier, which are promising candidate for bimodal imaging diagnosis and chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Tumor angiogenesis is a complex process that is unamenable to intravital whole-process monitoring, especially on microscopic assessment of tumor microvessel and quantifying microvascular hemodynamics before and after the nanotherapeutics, which hinder the understanding of nanotheranostics outcomes in tumor treatment. Herein, a new photoacoustic (PA) imaging-optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA)-laser speckle (LS) multimodal imaging strategy is first proposed, which is not only able to precisely macro guide the thermo-chemotherapy of tumor by monitoring blood oxygen saturation (SaO2 ) and hemoglobin content (HbT), but also capable of long-term microscopic investigating the microvessel morphology (microvascular density) and hemodynamics changes (relative blood flow) before and after the nanotherapeutics in vivo. Moreover, to realize the tumor thermo-chemotherapy treatment based on this novel multimodal imaging strategy, a 2D 5-fluorouracil silicon nanosheets (5-Fu-Si NSs) therapeutic agent is designed. Furthermore, 2D high-resolution tumor microvascular images in different stage display that tendency of the thermo-chemotherapy effect is closely associated with tumor angiogenesis. Taken together, the investigations establish the fundamental base in theory and technology for further tailoring the novel specific diagnosis and treatment strategy in tumor. More importantly, this technique will be beneficial to evaluate the tumor microvascular response to nanotherapeutics at microscale.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether hyperthermia, chemotherapy and thermo-chemotherapy could trigger the expression of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). METHODS The optimal working concentration of pingyangmycin (PYM) was detected by CCK-8 assay, and temperatures of 39, 42, and 45 ℃ were applied to the oral squamous cell carcinoma CAL27, SCC-15, and Tca8113 cell lines. The effects of different treatments on the apoptosis, calreticulin (CRT) membrane expression and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) secretion of the cells were detected by using Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI), flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay. SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Both hyperthermia and chemotherapy could increase the membrane expression of CRT and the secretion of HMGB1, and furthermore, thermo-chemotherapy group showed significantly increased in apoptosis, CRT membrane expression rate and HMGB1 secretion compared with chemotherapy group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Hyperthermia, chemotherapy and thermo-chemotherapy could induce oral squamous cell carcinoma cells succumb to death, and at the same time, they can effectively induce the membrane expression of CRT, and promote the secretion of HMGB1. Moreover, thermo-chemotherapy is significantly better than that of chemotherapy alone in the induction of cell apoptosis and DAMPs expression.

Abstract
Purpose Thermo-chemotherapy (TCT) is a new approach for the treatment of cancer that combines chemotherapy with thermotherapy. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2) and TCT sensitivity in gastric cancer (GC) to further illuminate the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of TCT on GC. Methods A TCT cell model was constructed, and EIF5A2 was silenced or overexpressed by infection with a lentivirus expressing either EIF5A2 or EIF5A2 shRNA. Then, RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry assays were performed to evaluate the changes in the expression levels of EIF5A2, c-myc, vimentin, and E-cadherin. Cell proliferation and xenograft assays were conducted to evaluate the effect on cell proliferation. Finally, wound-healing and Transwell invasion assays were performed to evaluate the effects on migration and invasion. Results TCT reduced EIF5A2 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels. It also inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, downregulated the expression of c-myc and vimentin, and increased the expression of E-cadherin in both MKN28 and MKN45 cells. Silencing of EIF5A2 enhanced the above effects of TCT on MKN28 and MKN45 cells, while overexpression of EIF5A2 had the opposite effects. In addition, EIF5A2 overexpression weakened the inhibitory effect of TCT on tumor growth in vivo as well as the effects on c-myc, vimentin, and E-cadherin. Conclusion TCT inhibits GC cell proliferation and metastasis by suppressing EIF5A2 expression. Our results provide new insights into our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the effects of TCT in GC.

Abstract
Enhancement of permeability and the retention effect is one of the main pathways for the accumulation of nanomaterials in tumor sites, but poor cellular internalization and rapid clearance of nanomaterials always hamper the efficacy of imaging diagnosis and treatment. With the consideration of both high tumor accumulation and cellular internalization, positively charged nanomaterials can adhere to the tumor cell membrane by an electrostatic force, which is conducive to cellular internalization, but they are easily recognized and cleared during blood circulation. However, negatively charged nanomaterials show an enhanced stealth-like effect and possess a long blood circulation time, which is conducive to tumor accumulation. Therefore, in this work, on the basis of the shielding effect of citrate ions to positive charge and the protonation under an acidic tumor microenvironment, pH-sensitive sodium citrate-modified polyaniline nanoshuttles (NSs) with negative charge during blood circulation but positive charge in tumor sites are designed. With this hierarchical targeting strategy, the blood circulation half-life increases from 4.35 to 7.33 h, and the retention rate of NSs in tumors increases from 5.29 to 8.57% ID/g. Because the retention rate of NSs is increased, the magnetic resonance imaging resolution and signal intensity are significantly improved. A synergistic treatment of tumors is further achieved by means of photothermal therapy with laser irradiation and chemotherapy via heat-stimulated drug release.

Abstract
We have developed a smart anti-cancer fiber mesh that is able to control tumor-killing activity against lung adenocarcinoma precisely. The mesh is capable of carrying large loads of chemotherapeutic drug, paclitaxel (PTX), as well as magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The mesh generates heat when the loaded MNPs are activated in an alternating magnetic field (AMF). The mesh is thermo-responsive, so the heat generated can be also used to trigger PTX release from the mesh. An electrospinning method was employed to fabricate the mesh using a copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide and N-hydroxymethylacrylamide, the phase transition temperature of which was adjusted to the mild-hyperthermia temperature range around 43 °C. In vitro anti-tumor studies demonstrated that both MNP- and PTX-loaded mesh killed about 66% of cells, whereas only PTX-loaded mesh killed about 43% of cells. In a mouse lung cancer model, the thermo-chemotherapy combo displayed enhanced anti-tumor activity and the systemic toxic effects on mice were eliminated due to local release of the chemotherapeutic agents. The proposed fiber system might provide a blueprint to guide the design of the next generation of local drug delivery systems for safe and effective cancer treatment.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive delivery systems for cancer therapy have been increasingly used to promote the on-demand therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs and, in some cases, simultaneously generate heat in response to a stimulus, resulting in hyperthermia. However, their application is still limited due to the systemic drawbacks of intravenous delivery, such as rapid clearance from the bloodstream and the repeat injections required for sustained safe dosage, which can cause overdosing. Here, we propose a gold (Au)-coated nanoturf structure as an implantable therapeutic interface for near-infrared (NIR)-mediated on-demand hyperthermia chemotherapy. The Au nanoturf possessed long-lasting doxorubicin (DOX) duration, which helps facilitate drug release in a sustained and prolonged manner. Moreover, the Au-coated nanoturf provides reproducible hyperthermia induced by localized surface plasmon resonances under NIR irradiation. Simultaneously, the NIR-mediated temperature increase can promote on-demand drug release at desired time points. For in vivo analysis, the Au nanoturf structure was applied on an esophageal stent, which needs sustained anticancer treatment to prevent tumor recurrence on the implanted surface. This thermo- and chemo-esophageal stent induced significant cancer cell death with released drug and hyperthermia. These phenomena were also confirmed by theoretical analysis. The proposed strategy provides a solution to achieve enhanced thermo-/chemotherapy and has broad applications in sustained cancer treatments.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are potentially useful in tumor theranostics, but the poor stability, high toxicity, and rapid removal by the immune system seriously limit their theranostic applications. In our study, we demonstrate the fabrication of Cu(II)-doped polydopamine-coated AuNR (AuNR@CuPDA), which significantly improves the potentials in tumor theranostics. Besides the improvement of physiological stability and biocompatibility, the PDA shell increases the photothermal performance and prolongs the blood circulation time of AuNRs. The half-life of AuNRs during blood circulation increases from 0.7 to 4.5 h after PDA coating, and the injected dose per gram of tumor tissue is 4.6% ID g-1 for AuNR@CuPDA. In addition to computer tomography imaging, the loading of Cu(II) in PDA shell endows AuNR@CuPDA with magnetic resonance imaging function. Cu(II) doped in PDA shell also exhibits chemotherapeutic behavior, and the tumor inhibitor rate is 31.2%. Further combining 808 nm laser-driven photothermal therapy, tumors were completely ablated, and no recurrence was observed. Liver and renal functions tests and histological analysis of major organs confirm that AuNR@CuPDA is in good safety.

Abstract
Drug-loaded magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and used for the sequential delivery of the antiresorptive agent zoledronic acid (Zol) and the cytotoxic drug doxorubicin (Dox) to breast cancer cells (MCF-7). Zol was attached to bare iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) via phosphonate coordination to form Z-NPs. The unbound imidazole of Zol was then used to complex the organic macrocycle CB[7] to obtain CZ-NPs. Dox was complexed to the CZ-NPs to form the fully loaded particles (DCZ-NPs), which were stable in solution at 37 °C and physiological pH (7.4). Fluorescence spectroscopy established that Dox is released in solution from DCZ-NPs suddenly (i) when the particles are subjected to magnetically induced heating to 42 °C at low pH (5.0) and (ii) in the presence of glutathione (GSH). Mass spectrometry indicated that Zol is released slowly in solution at low pH after Dox release. Magnetic measurements with a magnetic reader revealed that DCZ-NPs are internalized preferentially by MCF-7 cells versus nonmalignant cells (HEK293). Zol and Dox acted synergistically when delivered by the particles. DCZ-NPs caused a decrease in the viability of MCF-7 cells that was greater than the net decrease caused when the drugs were added to the cells individually at concentrations equivalent to those delivered by the particles. MCF-7 cells were treated with DCZ-NPs and subjected to an alternating magnetic field (AMF) which, with the nanoparticles present, raised the temperature of the cells and triggered the intracellular release of Dox, as indicated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). The cytotoxic effects of the DCZ-NPs on MCF-7 cells were enhanced 10-fold by AMF-induced heating. DCZ-NPs were also able to completely inhibit MCF-7 cell adhesion and invasion in vitro, indicating the potential of the particles to act as antimetastatic agents. Together these results demonstrate that DCZ-NPs warrant development as a system for combined chemo- and thermo-therapeutic treatment of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of intrapleural perfusion thermo-chemotherapy (IPTC) under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for malignant pleural effusion (MPE) caused by lung carcinoma. METHODS In this retrospective study, fifty-four patients with moderate or large amounts of ipsilateral MPE secondary to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) underwent pleural biopsy and IPTC under VATS. IPTC was performed by perfusing the pleural cavity with 43.0 °C saline solution containing cisplatin (200 mg/m2) using a devised circuit through mechanical circulation for 60 minutes. Blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and esophageal and rectal temperatures were monitored throughout the surgery. At the end of the perfusion, pleural biopsy was performed again for histological analysis. RESULTS The temperature at the pleural surface was stabilized at 43 °C, and pleural effusion was controlled in all patients. KPS scores increased in 89.3% of patients. No patient developed bone marrow suppression reactions with noticeable bleeding after treatment, and no liver and kidney malfunctions were observed. Apoptosis was detected by light and electron microscopy after IPTC. CEA markedly decreased in all patients 1 month after IPTC. The median survival time was 21.7 months, with a one-year survival rate of 74.1%. CONCLUSIONS IPTC under VATS is a new, safe, less invasive and more effective approach for MPE caused by lung carcinoma.

Abstract
Moderate temperature hyperthermia (40-45°C for 1 h) is emerging as an effective treatment to enhance best available chemotherapy strategies for bladder cancer. A rapidly increasing number of clinical trials have investigated the feasibility and efficacy of treating bladder cancer with combined intravesical chemotherapy and moderate temperature hyperthermia. To date, most studies have concerned treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) limited to the interior wall of the bladder. Following the promising results of initial clinical trials, investigators are now considering protocols for treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). This paper provides a brief overview of the devices and techniques used for heating bladder cancer. Systems are described for thermal conduction heating of the bladder wall via circulation of hot fluid, intravesical microwave antenna heating, capacitively coupled radio-frequency current heating, and radiofrequency phased array deep regional heating of the pelvis. Relative heating characteristics of the available technologies are compared based on published feasibility studies, and the systems correlated with clinical requirements for effective treatment of MIBC and NMIBC.

Abstract
In light of the growing interest in the search for cheap and effective solutions for cancer treatment, we report a simple one pot synthesis of polymer stabilized iron oxide-graphene (PIG) that could be realized on a large scale. The structural (Fe3O4 particle size of ∼11 nm), functional (various oxygen containing moieties), and magnetic (moment of ∼43 emu/g) properties of PIG are explored using various characterization techniques for possible biomedical applications. PIG shows good colloidal stability and is biocompatible even at higher concentrations (2.5 mg/mL) by virtue of cross-linking polymers. The biocompatibility of the composite has been tested using HeLa cell lines by computing the percentage of the reactive oxygen species through the 2,7-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) intensity level. PIG has the ability to load and release both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs with a good loading efficiency and capacity. The dug loading efficiency of PIG is measured to be ∼87% and ∼91% for doxorubicin (DOX) and paclitaxel (PTXL), respectively. Under an AC magnetic field, superparamagnetic PIG (2.5 mg/mL) takes less than 16 min to reach the stable hyperthermia temperature, suggesting it as a good anticancer material. A time-dependent cellular uptake of doxorubicin-conjugated PIG has been studied to optimize the parameters for thermo-chemotherapy of cancer. The synergetic effect of both the drug and hyperthermia is observed in the killing of the cancerous cells, verified by computing the cell apoptotic population using a flow cytometer. However, it has been noticed that, even in the absence of chemotherapy, PIG shows good antiproliferative activity with thermotherapy alone.

Abstract
While thermo-chemotherapy has proved to be effective in optimizing the efficacies of cancer treatments, traditional chemotherapy is subject to adverse side effects and heat delivery is often challenging in operation. Some photothermal inorganic nanoparticles responsive to near infrared light provide new opportunities for simultaneous and targeted delivery of heat and chemotherapeutics to the tumor sites in pursuit of synergistic effects for efficacy enhancement. The state of the art of nanoparticle-induced thermo-chemotherapy is summarized and the advantages and challenges of the major nanoplatforms based on gold nanoparticles, carbon nanomaterials, palladium nanosheets, and copper-based nanocrystals are highlighted. In addition, the optical-imaging potentials of the nanoplatforms that may endow them with imaging-guided therapy and therapeutic-result-monitoring capabilities are also briefly discussed.
