Immunohistochemical investigation of predictors of response or aggressiveness of bowen disease after photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a good option for the treatment of Bowen ’s disease (BD). However, BD occasionally can progress into a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after PDT. (Source: Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy)

Methylene blue internalization and photodynamic action against clinical and ATCC Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphyloccocus aureus strains
Bacterial infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are known for their potential to aggravate infections in humans, causing clinical conditions, from minor to complex infections, or even death [1 –3]. (Source: Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy)

Photodynamic therapy as a new approach to Trichomonas vaginalis inactivation
Trichomonas vaginalis is the protozoan responsible for trichomoniasis, the most common curable sexually transmitted infection in the world [1,2]. Based on estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO), the disease affects more than 276 million people per year, with almost 90% of these infections occurring among people living in resource-limited environments [3]. The main concern with T. vaginalis is its predisposing nature to other diseases or sequelae. In the past 20 years, many studies have shown that secondary infections to trichomoniasis increased both the risk of adverse conditions during pregnancy and the transm...

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase is involved in the fluorescence intensity of 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated laser-based photodynamic endoscopic diagnosis for early gastric cancer
Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) is an optical imaging technology based on the fundamental biological features of porphyrin metabolism in cancer cells. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is metabolized into protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in the heme biosynthesis pathway, and it tends to accumulate in tumor cells [1,2]. PpIX emits red fluorescence at around 630  nm when irradiated with a laser of 405 nm wavelength [3]. The utility of PDD has been established in the field of brain tumors and bladder tumors [4–6].

A novel cosmetic and clinically practicable laser immunotherapy for facial verruca plana: Intense pulsed light combined with BCG-PSN
Facial verruca plana is a common, benign lesion characterized by skin-colored or light brown flat papules. Facial verruca plana is an infection of keratinocytes caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV types 3 and 10 occur most commonly as multiple verruca plana, which manifests as recurrent flat papules, mostly on the face [1]. Facial verruca plana causes major cosmetic and social concerns, which motivates patients to seek treatment. Common conventional therapeutic approaches include cryotherapy, topical retinoids, salicylic acid, imiquimod, topical immunotherapy, immunotherapy, or photodynamic therapy [2]. (Source: Pho...

Curcumin-mediated Photodynamic Therapy for the treatment of oral infections —A review
The combination of chemical substances and light is attributed to Oscar Raab in 1900, which accidentally promoted protozoan killing after a photo biological reaction that was later found to be an oxygen-dependent phenomenon [1]. However, investigations on the antimicrobial efficacy of the so-called ‘photodynamic therapy’ progressively decreased with the advent of antibiotics in 1928.

Efficacy of photodynamic therapy or low level laser therapy against steroid therapy in the treatment of erosive-atrophic oral lichen planus
Lichen planus is a common chronic mucocutaneous inflammatory disorder which generally affects middle-aged adults. Oral lichen planus (OLP) occurs more frequently than cutaneous lesions and tends to be more resistant to treatment. On the basis of different clinical patterns, OLP is mainly classified as erosive, reticular, plaque-like, atrophic, or bullous type [1]. Reticular lesions are asymptomatic and require no treatment, but patients with erosive-atrophic forms of OLP experience significant discomfort; therefore, they often seek treatment [2,3].
