Abstract
A multifunctional photo-thermal therapeutic nano-platform (YR-Si- ) was designed through a core–shell structure, expressing the function of bio-tissue imaging, real-time temperature detection, and photo-thermal therapy under 808 nm light excitation. In this system, the core (YR) takes the responsibility of emitting optical information and monitoring temperature, while the shell nano-particles carry most of the photo-thermal conversion function. The temperature sensing characteristic was achieved by the fluorescence intensity ratio using the thermally coupled energy levels (TCLs) of , and its higher accuracy for real-time temperature measurement in the bio-tissue than that of an infrared thermal camera was also proved by sub-tissue experiments. Furthermore, the photo-thermal effect of the present nano-system was confirmed by Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) ablation. Results indicate that YR-Si- has application prospect in temperature-controlled photo-thermal treatment and imaging in bio-tissues.
