Abstract

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as a representative non-invasive therapeutic mode, has attracted extensive attentions among biological and medical researchers. In this paper, we focused on constructing multifunctional hollow mesoporous silica nanospheres (HMSNs) as innovative and efficient theranostic/synergistic agents to explore them in HIFU application. First, Au NPs-coated, PFH-encapsulated and PEGylated mesoporous silica nanocapsules-based nano-platform has been constructed as a contrast-intensified ultrasound (US) imaging agent and simultaneously an intensified US-guided HIFU enhancement agent. Besides, a novel temperature-responsive theranostic system is designed and investigated, using L-menthol as phase-change medium, which enables the substantial co-entrapment of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs and their temperature-responsive release, and more importantly, also can be used as both the US contrast agents and HIFU therapeutic enhancement agents.
