    Abstract: The invention relates to UV emitting nanoparticles for radiation therapy purposes. If the nanoparticles are brought indirectly or directly to the diseased tissue, excitation with high energy radiation leads to VUV or UV-C emission. This UV radiation is absorbed by the surrounding organic matrix, resulting in decomposition of the material. The nanoparticles can also be modified by attaching antibodies to the particles by chemical linking or coating. Preferably these antibodies bind specifically to the cell membrane of cancer cells leading to a localised destruction of diseased tissue with a high efficacy and a lower level of destruction of surrounding healthy tissue. Endoscopic detection of the UV emission can be used as a medical imaging technique to locate and study diseased tissue.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及用于放射治疗目的的UV发射纳米颗粒。 如果纳米颗粒被间接地或直接地带到患病组织,则用高能量辐射的激发导致VUV或UV-C发射。 这种紫外线辐射被周围的有机基质吸收,导致材料分解。 还可以通过化学连接或涂覆将抗体附着于颗粒来修饰纳米颗粒。 优选地,这些抗体特异性结合癌细胞的细胞膜,导致病变组织的局部破坏,具有高效力和较低水平的周围健康组织的破坏。 紫外线发射的内窥镜检测可用作医学成像技术来定位和研究患病组织。
