https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Gefitinib.html Sono-photodynamic therapy (SPDT) activates the same photo-/sonosensitizer and exerts more marked antitumor effects than sonodynamic therapy or photodynamic therapy. We aimed to explore the utilization of curcumin (CUR)-loaded poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) microbubble (MB)-mediated SPDT (CUR-PLGA-MB-SPDT) in HepG2 liver cancer cells. The cytotoxicity and intracellular accumulation of CUR were determined. We used 40 µM CUR as the photo-/sonosensitizer for 3 h. In a comparison of CUR-SDT or CUR-PDT, HepG2 cell viability decreased and apoptotic rate increased in CUR-SPDT. The CUR-PLGA MBs had round spheres with smooth surfaces and an average size of 3.7 µm. In CUR-PLGA MBs, drug entrapment efficiency and drug-loading capacity were 74.29 ± 2.60% and 17.14 ± 0.60%, respectively. CUR-loaded PLGA MBs (CUR-PLGA MBs) had good biocompatibility with normal L02 cells and were almost non-cytotoxic to HepG2 cells. Among CUR-SDT, CUR-PDT, CUR-SPDT or CUR-PLGA-MB-SDT, the cell CUR-PLGA-MB-SPDT had the lowest viability. Transmission electron microscopy revealed pyroptosis and apoptosis in the CUR-PLGA-MB-SPDT group; the potential mechanism was related to the mitochondrial membrane potential loss and increased production of intracellular reactive oxygen species. These findings suggested that CUR-PLGA-MB-SPDT may be a promising treatment for liver cancer.Objective Shared decision making (SDM) is recommended to improve healthcare quality. Physicians who use a rational decision-making style and patient-centric approach are more likely to incorporate SDM into clinical practice. This paper explores how certain physician characteristics such as gender, age, race, experience, and specialty explain patient participation. Methods A multi-group structural equation model tested the relationship between physician decision-making styles, patient-centered care, physician characteristics, and patient participation in clinical treatment decisions.
