    Abstract Melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer because it spreads easily to other tissues, thereby decreasing the efficiency of its treatment via chemo-, radio-, and surgical therapies. We suggest the application of an attachable hydrogel for the treatment of melanoma whereby the size and amount of incorporated indocyanine green (ICG) for photothermal therapy (PTT) can be controlled. An attachable hydrogel (poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride); PAD) that incorporates ICG as a near-infrared (NIR) absorber was fabricated using a biocompatible polymer. The temperature of PAD-ICG increases under 808 nm laser irradiation. The hydrogel protects the ICG against decomposition; consequently, PAD-ICG can be reused for PTT. The attachment of PAD-ICG to an area with melanoma in mice, with irradiation using a NIR laser, successfully eliminated melanoma. Thus, the data suggest that PAD-ICG is a smart material that could be used for selective target therapy against melanoma in humans.

    Abstract A significant rise in the occurrence and severity of adverse reactions to several synthetic drugs has fueled considerable interest in natural product‐based therapeutics. In humans and animals, polysaccharides from marine microalgae and seaweeds have immunomodulatory effects. In addition, these polysaccharides may possess antiviral, anticancer, hypoglycemic, anticoagulant, and antioxidant properties. During inflammatory diseases, such as autoimmune diseases and sepsis, immunosuppressive molecules can serve as therapeutic agents. Similarly, molecules that participate in immune activation can induce immune responses against cancer and infectious diseases. We aim to discuss the chemical composition of the algal polysaccharides, namely alginate, fucoidan, ascophyllan, and porphyran. We also summarize their applications in the treatment of cancer, infectious disease, and inflammation. Recent applications of nanoparticles that are based on algal polysaccharides for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases have also been addressed. In conclusion, these applications of marine algal polysaccharides could provide novel therapeutic alternatives for several diseases.

    Abstract Background: Immunotherapies have been gaining attention for the prevention of cancer recurrence and metastasis. Cancer immunotherapy can induce memory cells to target cancer-specific antigens and, thus, selectively kill cancer cells. However, there are difficulties in inducing cancer antigen-specific immunity due to limited knowledge regarding cancer antigens. In this study, we synthesized a dual-functional hydrogel to induce antigen generation and immune activation.
    Results: To elicit a cancer self-antigen-specific immune response, we synthesized an alginate-collagen-based injectable hydrogel, called thermally responsive hydrogel (pTRG), which was incorporated with indocyanine green and the immune stimulator polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C). pTRG was evaluated for its anticancer and anti-metastatic effects against CT-26 carcinoma and 4T1 breast tumor in mice by combining photothermal therapy (PTT) and immunotherapy. Near-infrared (NIR) irradiation promoted temperature elevation in pTRG, consequently exerting a therapeutic effect on mouse tumors. Lung metastasis was prevented in cured CT-26 tumor-injected mice following pTRG treatment via cancer antigen-specific T cell immunity. Moreover, pTRG successfully eliminated the original tumor in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice via PTT and protected them from lung metastasis. To further evaluate the carrier function of TRGs, different types of immunotherapeutic molecules were incorporated into TRGs, which led to the effective elimination of the first CT-26 tumor and the prevention of lung metastasis.
    Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that TRG is a efficient material not only for treating primary tumors but also for preventing metastasis and recurrence.

    Abstract Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are known to respond to viral infections. However, the activation of pDCs by bacterial components such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS) has not been well studied. Here, we found that pDCs, conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), and B cells express high levels of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a receptor for LPS. Moreover, LPS could effectively bind to not only cDCs but also pDCs and B cells. Intraperitoneal administration of LPS promoted activation of splenic pDCs and cDCs. LPS treatment led to upregulation of interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) and induced production of interferon-alpha (IFN-α) in splenic pDCs. Furthermore, LPS-dependent upregulation of co-stimulatory molecules in pDCs did not require the assistance of other immune cells, such as cDCs. However, the production levels of IFN-α were decreased in cDC-depleted splenocytes, indicating that cDCs may contribute to the enhancement of IFN-α production in pDCs. Finally, we showed that activation of pDCs by LPS requires the TLR4 and myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD2) signaling pathways. Thus, these results demonstrate that the gram-negative component LPS can directly stimulate pDCs

    Abstract Purpose: Necrosis of a cutaneous flap including the nipple-areolar complex is a common complication in immediate implant-based breast reconstruction following nipple/skin-sparing mastectomy (NSM/SSM). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) in reducing such complications.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was conducted at two centers, and the cohort consisted of patients undergoing NSM/SSM followed by immediate reconstruction with a prosthesis. Patients who were randomly allocated to the treatment group were administered daily intravenous PGE1 (10 mcg/2 mL) beginning intraoperatively through postoperative day 6. Skin flap complications including nipple/skin necrosis, delayed wound healing, and postoperative wound revision were recorded. Complication rates were compared between the PGE1 and control groups.
    Results: A total of 276 breasts in 259 patients were included for analysis (139 breasts to the treatment group and 137 breasts to the control group). There was no difference in patient demographics between the control and treatment group. Reconstructed breasts receiving PGE1 had significantly lower rates for overall skin complications (21.6% vs. 34.3%, p=0.022) and wound revision (2.9% vs. 9.5%, p=0.025). Among NSM cases, the PGE1 group showed a significantly lower rate of nipple necrosis (15.5% vs. 29.4%, p=0.027). In the multivariate analysis, the use of PGE1 significantly reduced the risk of overall skin flap complications (odds=0.491, p=0.018), wound revision (odds=0.213, p=0.018) in NSM/SSM cases, and nipple necrosis (odds=0.357 p=0.008) in NSM cases.
    Conclusion: PGE1 can be effective in reducing risk of mastectomy flap complications in immediate implant-based breast reconstructions.
