The invention discloses a
rare earth upconversion diagnosis-and-treatment-integrated
nanocomposite material. The
rare earth upconversion diagnosis-and-treatment-integrated
nanocomposite material is acuprous
oxide modified
rare earth upconversion
nanocomposite prepared by the following steps: using oil-soluble
upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as cores; and then, allowing epitaxial growth of cuprous
oxide (Cu(2)O) on surfaces of the UCNPs so as to form shells, thereby obtaining the cuprous
oxide modified rare earth upconversion nanocomposite grown by interface
nucleation. The Cu(2)O can transfer
fluorescence resonance energy with upconversion emission of the UCNPs excited by near-
infrared light so as to produce sufficient
active oxygen, thereby meeting needs of
photodynamic therapy; and moreover, the Cu(2)O can synchronously cooperate with the oil-soluble UCNPs so as to realize integrated diagnosis and treatment. The invention further provides a preparation method of the rare earth upconversion diagnosis-and-treatment-integrated nanocomposite material. The preparation method of the rare earth upconversion diagnosis-and-treatment-integrated nanocomposite material comprises the following steps: using the oil-soluble UCNPs as cores; and then, allowing interface
nucleation growth of the (Cu(2)O) on the surfaces of the UCNPs. The rare earth upconversion diagnosis-and-treatment-integrated nanocomposite material prepared by the preparation method is uniform in size, good in stability, and excellent in
biocompatibility; and thus, the nanocomposite material can be used in
imaging diagnosis guided
photodynamic therapy so as to meet needs of
clinical diagnosis and treatment integration.
