Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen that causes clinical infections in humans and can also cause massively colonized in lesion skin, particularly in atopic dermatitis patients. This study investigated the effects of photodynamic inactivation with radachlorin and diode laser irradiation on the viability of S. aureus in vitro and assessed the effects of the dose of laser transmission. In the PDI group, 5 𝜇L of S. aureus suspension and 5 𝜇L of radachlorin were inoculated in a 55 mm petri dish (63.6 cm²). The samples were placed in a 37° incubator for 30 min and then irradiated with light (660 nm diode laser). After laser irradiation, the cells were stored for 24 h at 37° in an incubator with 5% CO2, and the number of colonies was counted. All CFU/mL of S. aureus were reduced by diode laser in the presence of radachlorin, with a killing rate of 87.9% at an energy dose of 9 J/cm². This study contribute to treat colonized with S. aureus in atopic dermatitis patients and wound infections by providing information on the optimal dose of laser transmission using PDI to eliminate S. aureus.

S-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a new kind drug used in photodynamic therapy. ALA-PDT have successfully used in superficial malignancies and some skin diseases. Here the effects of ALA-PDT were studied on leukemia cells and hepatoma cells to explore the application on different kind cancers. It was found from the fluorescence emission spectra, that after ALA incubation the sensitizer - protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) was endogenously produced in both leukemia and hepatoma cells. The fluorescence images showed that the PpIX distribute in cytoplasm. However the efficiency of ALA photodynamic inactivation to two cell lines was different. The leukemia cells were more sensitive for ALA-PDT than hepatoma cells, revealing that the ALA-PDT effect is cell line dependent. However by using ALA-Hexyl ester (He-ALA) instead of ALA, the cell photo-inactivation was improved. The PDT efficiency of He-ALA was 10 times high than that of ALA, showing He-ALA is a very promising drug in ALA-PDT.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the bacterial effects of Moraxella catarrhalis in otitis media with effusion (OME) by photodynamic therapy (PDT). Bacterial suspensions (10000 CFU/mL) were prepared. The colony forming units (CFU) of Moraxella catarrhalis have been measured after an application of photogem plus 632 nm diode laser irradiation. One ml of the bacterial suspensions have been incubated in the dark for 3h with various concentrations of photogem ($0.625{\sim}5.0_{\mu}g/mL$) and then irradiated with 632 nm diode laser ($15J/cm^2$). After, the PDT Moraxella catarrhalis suspensions ($50{\mu}L$) were inoculated on chocolate agar plate and cultured in the dark at $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ condition for 18h. The colony forming units off the bacteria were measured. Also transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to evaluate the effect of otitis media pathogens by PDT. The nucleus of Moraxella catarrhalis was stained using green fluorescent nucleic acid dye thiazole orange and the fluorescence intensity of the nucleus was measured by flow cytometry. The PDT was effective in killing Moraxella catarrhalis at the photogem dose of $5.0_{\mu}g/mL$, respectively, As assessed by flow cytometry analysis the fluorescence intensity of the nucleus got lower after PDT. TEM result appeared to able to cause damage to the bacterial membranes. On the basis of these findings, bacterial photodynamic therapy with photogem can be considered to be a promising new therapeutic approach for OME.

이 연구의 목적은 임상 Candida albicans의 바이오필름억제을 위한 Rhadachlorin과 적색발광다이오드를 이용한 광역학치료의 체외적 효과를 평가하고자 하였다. Candida albicans 부유액을 $9{\times}10^8CFU/mL$을 5% 당이 함유된 YNB배지에 준비하였다. Candida albicans의 바이오필름은 96웰 플레이트에 100 uL씩 분주후 3시간 배양하고 상층액을 제거하였다. 각 웰에 $50{\mu}g/mL$ 부터 $0.39{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 Rhadachlorin을 부착된 세포위에 처리하였다. 30분간 배양 후 빛을 30, 60, 90분을 630 nm 광원의 LED를 이용하여 조사하였고, 이때 각각의 에너지밀도는 14, 29, $43J/cm^2$이였다. 모든 상층액을 제거후에 건조시켰다. 부착된 세포를 safranin O로 염색하였다. 490 nm 파장으로 마이크로플레이트 리더로 흡광도를 측정하였다. 또한, 광감작제포화에 의해 Candida albicans의 형광시그널을 관찰하였다. 결론적으로 확연한 억제는 Rhadachlorin의 농도 $50{\mu}g/mL$과 630 nm LED치료에서 Candida albicans의 바이오필름의 72.5%가 감소되었다. 또한 광감작제 Rhadachlorin은 Candida albicans의 30분에서 충분한 축적을 보였다. 전체적으로 이 결과들은 바이오필름형성의 억제는 Rhadachlorin의 농도에 의존되었다. 이 결과들은 Rhadachlorin과 630 nm LED의 광역학치료는 Candida albicans의 바이오필름 억제가 가능한 것으로 제의된다.
