An Integrated Nanotechnology-Enabled Transbronchial Image-Guided Intervention Strategy for Peripheral Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Early detection and efficient treatment modality of early-stage peripheral lung cancer is essential. Current nonsurgical treatments for peripheral lung cancer show critical limitations associated with various complications, requiring alternative minimally invasive therapeutics. Porphysome nanoparticle-enabled fluorescence-guided transbronchial photothermal therapy (PTT) of peripheral lung cancer was developed and demonstrated in preclinical animal models. Systemically administered porphysomes accumulated in lung tumors with significantly enhanced disease-to-normal tissue contrast, as confirmed in three subtypes of orthotopic human lung cancer xenografts (A549, H460, and H520) in mice and in an orthotopic VX2 tumor in rabbits. An in-house prototype fluorescence bronchoscope demonstrated the capability of porphysomes for in vivo imaging of lung tumors in the mucosal/submucosal layers, providing real-time fluorescence guidance for transbronchial PTT. Porphysomes also enhanced the efficacy of transbronchial PTT significantly and resulted in selective and efficient tumor tissue ablation in the rabbit model. A clinically used cylindrical diffuser fiber successfully achieved tumor-specific thermal ablation, showing promising evidence for the clinical translation of this novel platform to impact upon nonsurgical treatment of early-stage peripheral lung cancer.

Project description:Background:Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a new technology that allows for unbiased detection of pathogens. However, there are few reports on mNGS of lung biopsy tissues for pulmonary infection diagnosis. In addition, radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) is widely used to detect peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), but it is rarely used in the diagnosis of peripheral lung infection. Objective:The present study aims to evaluate the combined application of R-EBUS-guided transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and mNGS for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary infectious lesions. Methods:From July 2018 to April 2019, 121 patients from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital diagnosed with PPLs and lung infection were enrolled in this prospective randomized study . Once the lesion was located, either TBLB or R-EBUS-guided-TBLB was performed in randomly selected patients, and mNGS was applied for pathogen detection in lung biopsy tissues. The results of mNGS were compared between the TBLB group and R-EBUS-guided TBLB group. In addition, the clinical characteristics and EBUS images from 61 patients receiving bronchoscopy for peripheral lung infectious detection were analyzed and compared with the results of mNGS. Results:The positivity rate of mNGS in R-EBUS-guided TBLB was (78.7%, 48/61) that was significantly higher than (60.0%, 36/60) in the TBLB group. Difference in the position of R-EBUS probe and image characteristics of peripheral lung infectious lesions affected the positivity rate of mNGS. Tissue collected by R-EBUS within the lesion produced higher positivity rate than samples collected adjacent to the lesion (P=0.030, odds ratio 17.742; 95% confidence interval, from 1.325 to 237.645). Anechoic areas and luminant areas of ultrasonic image characteristics were correlated with lower positivity rate of mNGS (respectively, P=0.019, odds ratio 17.878; 95% confidence interval, from 1.595 to 200.399; P=0.042, odds ratio 16.745; 95% confidence interval, from 1.106 to 253.479). Conclusions:R-EBUS-guided TBLB is a safe and effective technique in the diagnosis of peripheral lung infectious lesions. R-EBUS significantly facilitates the accurate insertion of bronchoscope into the lesions, which improves positivity rate of mNGS analysis in pathogen detection. The R-EBUS probe position within lesion produced a higher positivity rate of mNGS analysis. Nevertheless, the presence of anechoic and luminant areas on ultrasonic image was correlated with poor mNGS positivity rate.

Project description:Objective. Stereotactic technology enables fine navigation to small structures in the human body. While current stereotactic systems facilitate accurate targeting, they are mechanically cumbersome and limited in scope. Here, we hypothesized that a stereotactic system could be developed with a reduced footprint while maintaining broad targeting capabilities in order to improve versatility in frame placement location and surgical workflow.Approach. We designed a stereotactic system around the center-of-arc principle, with mechanical properties that would enable a compact design and ample targeting and trajectory maneuverability. To examine the opportunity for a low-cost rapidly-deployable system we developed two fabrication variants, one using three dimensional (3D)-printing and the other using conventional machining. Mechanical and image-guided accuracies were tested in phantom studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography. Using human cadaver head specimens, we assessed the system's surgical workflow and its ability to reliably and accurately implant electrodes in deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.Main results. We developed a small 7.7 × 5.4 cm2device platform that rigidly mounts to curvilinear bone and supports the attachment of surgical instrumentation. Attachment of two surgical instruments, an imaging localizer and a compact targeting device, demonstrated successful MRI-guided intervention in phantom studies with a vector error of 1.79 ± 0.41 mm. Evaluation of the 3D-printed system for DBS surgery confirmed ease of device platform attachment and instrument functionality, as well as demonstrated a surgical targeting accuracy of 1.83 ± 0.15 mm. In addition, we found the surgical time to be 78.3 ± 5.4 min for bilateral electrode implantation.Significance. We developed a light and compact stereotactic system whose accuracy is on par with those used clinically. This technology is suitable for clinical translation and its flexibility in positioning will seamlessly expand the capabilities for stereotaxy to treat a wide range of conditions, both within neurosurgery and beyond.
