(2023-07-25)As drug-resistant bacteria infection become increasingly serious recently,pursuing new antibacterial strategies and developing more effective antibacterial materials have become an important task. This work provided a new ... -
Synthesis of a water-soluble protoporphyrin polymer and its research on photodynamic inactivation of drug-resistant bacteria and cancer cells
(2022-12-30)Protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) is a photosensitizer in the photodynamic therapy. However, its aqueous insolubility is always a challenge for extensive applications. In this work, a water-soluble derivative of PPIX were synthesized ... -
Synthesis of water-soluble protoporphyrin IX polymers and their photodynamic application
(2023-02-15)Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is a photosensitizer used in photodynamic therapy, however, its poor aqueous solubility always presents challenges and limits its application. To solve these problems water-soluble derivatives of ... -
Systemic adverse effects from inhaled corticosteroid use in asthma: a systematic review.
(2020-12)BACKGROUND: Oral corticosteroid use increases the risk of systemic adverse effects including osteoporosis, bone fractures, diabetes, ocular disorders and respiratory infections. We sought to understand if inhaled corticosteroid ... -
Ultrasound, CT, MRI, or PET-CT for staging and re-staging of adults with cutaneous melanoma.
(Cochrane Collaboration, 2019-07-01)BACKGROUND: Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, with the potential to metastasise to other parts of the body via the lymphatic system and the bloodstream. Melanoma accounts for a small percentage ... -
Understanding missed opportunities for more timely diagnosis of brain cancer – what can we learn from the BRACED qualitative interview study with adult glioma patients?
(2018-01-31)BACKGROUND BRACED (The BRAin Cancer Early Detection study) is a qualitative study of patient perspectives on factors affecting timely diagnosis of primary brain tumours. Patient, doctor and health-care system-related ... -
Understanding symptom appraisal and help-seeking in people with symptoms suggestive of pancreatic cancer: a qualitative study
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2017-09-03)Objective Pancreatic cancer has poor survival rates due to non-specific symptoms leading to later diagnosis. Understanding how patients interpret their symptoms could inform approaches to earlier diagnosis. This study ...
