Abstract: The present invention relates to a new generation of PDT agents based on porphyrin-lanthanide complexes with specific functional groups which can specifically localize on particular tumors, and their PDT processes can be monitored via NIR emission from erbium. In particular, the present invention provides a multi-modal lanthanide-porphyrin PDT agent (Er—R3) that are capable of killing the bladder tumor cells selectivity via 1O2 from porphyrin moiety and affording the fluorescence imaging simultaneously upon Er—R3 binding with the integrin ?v?3 isoform in bladder cancer cells.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a new modality of photodynamic therapy (PDT) through the design of the present invention's truly dual-functional—PDT and imaging—gadolinium complex (Gd—N) with a molecular formula of: which can target cancer, cells specifically. The present invention provides a PDT drug that can specifically localize on the anionic cell membrane of cancer cells in which its laser-excited photoemission signal can be monitored without triggering the phototoxic generation of reactive oxygen species—singlet oxygen—prior to due excitation. The present invention also provides the use of Gd—N as a tumor selective PDT photosensitizer modality.

Abstract: An illuminating device includes an illuminator with an illuminating mechanism. The illuminating mechanism includes several LEDs. The illuminating device is reversibly fixed by at least one holding device. The holding device includes a guiding device and a wing shaped unit. The wing shaped unit can be fixed and turned on the guiding device and can be guided along the guiding device. The holding device includes an unfolding mechanism. The wing shaped unit is oriented transverse to the guiding device by arranging the unfolding mechanism. The wing shaped unit is completely unfolded at a light emitting side. When the wing shaped unit is guided away from the light emitting side, the wing shaped unit is reversibly folded via a physical contact with a folding mechanism. The span of the light emitting side is greater than the span with the wing shaped unit being folded.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED), and a method for producing the same. The LED includes a substrate that may be made of silicon, a first conductive layer on one side, and a porous insulating layer on the opposite side. The insulating layer defines microcavities therein, the microcavities having sharp tips on their inner surfaces. The microcavities have gas inside. A second conductive layer is disposed over the insulating layer. When an electrical potential is applied between the conductive layers, the gas-filled microcavities act as plasma discharge lamps, emitting light. The light may be in the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum. The method includes etching a substrate to produce a porous insulating layer on one side, depositing a first conductive layer on the opposite side, and depositing a second conductive layer over the insulating layer. The microcavities in the insulating layer are then filled with gas.

Abstract: The present invention discloses the doping of rare earth elements into porous silicon, resulting in enhancement of luminescence. The doping is an electro-chemical process using constant voltage bias across the two electrodes in which the anode is porous silicon and the cathode is platinum. The doping process involves a well-defined solution of electrolytes that controls the conductivity of the solution, and set values of constant voltages that selectively allow the desired rare earth elements being doped into porous silicon.
