Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1. Photodynamic therapy using ICG lactosomes (ICGL) was performed toward ankle joint arthritis in RA mice. ICGL contained ICG 30 nmol / mg in 2 mg. The laser irradiation was 125 mW / cm2, and the total irradiation energy density was 75.2 J / cm2. TUNEL staining was used for necrotic cell evaluation. There was a significant difference in the number of positive cells in the photodynamic therapy group compared with the control group. 2. In ICGL dosage, we compared with 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg. In 5 mg decreased fluorescence luminance was seen after irradiation compared with 10mg and 20mg. But in 20mg, Skin erosion appeared. So 10 mg was suit for multiple irradiation. 3. In multiple irradiation, ICGL amount in the body was greatly decreased by two irradiations, and almost disappeared by three irradiations.
