Customized nanomedicines can be used in a variety of ways, including angiogenesis suppression, vascular disruption, and vascular infarction. In the angiogenesis suppression approach, VEGF, VEGFR, mTOR, EGFR, bFGF, ROS, and other components have become promising therapeutic targets. The nanomedicine system has successfully inhibited tumor neovascularization using gene silencing, chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and other therapies. In the vascular disruption approach, VDAs supplied by nanomaterials were bonded with the bonding sites of CA4, COL, PTX, and other medications on microtubules to promote rapid disintegration of tumor vascular wall cells. Combining many medicines increased the tumor treatment outcome even more. For example, disruption of tumor blood arteries caused by nanoparticle-mediated physical methods combined with chemotherapy resulted in effective treatment in a large volume tumor model. The vascular infarction methodology uses a variety of carriers, including nanoparticles, DNA nanorobots, platelet membranes, and others, to carry thrombin, tTF, and other drugs to generate local thrombosis and provide safe and effective tumor treatment.

Background: Recent research on psychedelics and hypnosis demonstrates the value of both methods in the treatment of a range of psychopathologies with overlapping applications and neurophenomenological features. The potential of harnessing the power of suggestion to influence the phenomenological response to psychedelics toward more therapeutic action has remained unexplored in recent research and thereby warrants empirical attention. Aims: Here we aim to elucidate the phenomenological and neurophysiological similarities and dissimilarities between psychedelic states and hypnosis in order to revisit how contemporary knowledge may inform their conjunct usage in psychotherapy. Methods: We review recent advances in phenomenological and neurophysiological research on psychedelics and hypnosis, and we summarize early investigations on the coupling of psychedelics and hypnosis in scientific and therapeutic contexts. Results/outcomes: We highlight commonalities and differences between psychedelics and hypnosis that point to the potential efficacy of combining the two in psychotherapy. We propose multiple research paths for coupling these two phenomena at different stages in the preparation, acute phase and follow-up of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy in order to prepare, guide and integrate the psychedelic experience with the aim of enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Conclusions/interpretation: Harnessing the power of suggestion to modulate response to psychedelics could enhance their therapeutic efficacy by helping to increase the likelihood of positive responses, including mystical-type experiences.

In this paper, the surface of molybdenum disulfide nanosheets synthesized by hydrothermal method was modified with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and nucleic acid aptamers in order to construct a photothermal system with high target recognition, stable size, good biocompatibility and low toxicity Nano material molybdenum disulfide; Under 808 nm laser irradiation, suitable functionalized molybdenum disulfide nanosheets can produce singlet oxygen at an effective concentration for photodynamic therapy, and at the same time, photothermal therapy can also be used to achieve synergistic therapy and the therapeutic effect is more excellent. This shows that such functionalized molybdenum disulfide nanosheets have excellent therapeutic effect and great potential in tumor treatment.
