The present paper deals with the thermodynamic of uni-univalent and uni-bivalent ion exchange reactions using nuclear grade anion exchange resin Indion-223. It was observed that with rise in temperature the equilibrium constants K values for H+/K+ uni-univalet ion exchange reaction increases from 0.01710 to 0.02374. Similarly for H+/Ca2+ uni-bivalet ion exchange reaction the equilibrium constants K values increases from 0.000397 to 0.000639. The increase in K values with rise in temperature for both the reactions indicates its endothermic nature having the enthalpy change values of 22.72 and 38.92 kJ/ mol respectively. The technique used here can be extended further to standardise the process parameters in order to bring about the efficient separation of the desired ionic species from the solution

(1) Background: Though X-ray excited photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) breakthrough the bottom neck of PDT application in deep tumor by overcoming light penetration depth limitation, the quantum yield of the hydrophilic X-PDT nanoparticles (NPs) still hampered its further application in vivo. Thus, establishing a proper hydrophilic decoration method which can maximally maintain the quantum yield of X-ray excited luminescent NPs is of urgent demand. (2) Methods: We synthesized NaGdF4: [Formula: see text] (NGF) as X-ray excited luminescent NPs and conducted hydrophilic decoration by two hydrophilic ligands, polyethylene glycol-NH2 (PEG) and cysteamine (Cy) via place exchange reaction, and coupled with photosensitizer (MC540) to form a X-PDT nanosystem. We also conducted experiments in vitro and in vivo to evaluate the efficacy of the X-PDT system. (3) Results: Both PEG and Cy decoration NPs presented excellent emission intensity, which could well excite the coupled photosensitizer MC540 to generate significant X-PDT efficacy under low-dose X-ray radiation. Especially for the NGF-Cy-MC540 treatment group, the cell viability reduced to [Formula: see text]% under 0.3[Formula: see text]Gy radiation and [Formula: see text]% under only 0.1[Formula: see text]Gy radiation, which is the lowest radiation dosage in the literature reports so far. In vivo experiment showed about 36% of tumor inhibition rate under 0.3[Formula: see text]Gy X-ray. Besides, no biotoxicity was observed in NGF groups even in high concentrations, demonstrating good biocompatibility. (4) Conclusions: The hydrophilic decoration method by Cy or PEG via place exchange reaction may pave a brand new way and strategy for X-PDT further clinical application.

AbstractGold nanorods (GNRs) have a broad application prospect in biomedical fields because of their unique properties and controllable surface modification. The element aurum (Au) with high atomic number (high-Z) render GNRs ideal radiosensitive materials for radiation therapy and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Besides, GNRs have the capability of efficiently converting light energy to heat in the near-infrared (NIR) region for photothermal therapy. Although there are more and more researches on GNRs for radiation therapy, how to improve their biocompatibility and how to efficiently utilize them for radiation therapy should be further studied. This review will focuse on the research progress regarding the preparation and toxicity reduction of GNRs, as well as GNRs-mediated radiation therapy. Graphical Abstract
