<p>Selenium-Doped Carbon Quantum Dots Efficiently Ameliorate Secondary Spinal Cord Injury via Scavenging Reactive Oxygen Species</p>

Abstract: Background The excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) has been identified as a leading cause of secondary injury, which can significantly exacerbate acute damage in the injured spinal cord. Thus, scavenging of ROS has emerged as an effective route to ameliorate secondary spinal cord injury. Purpose Selenium-doped carbon quantum dots (Se-CQDs) with the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species were prepared and used… Show more

“…82 Recently, selenium-doped carbon quantum dots have been found efficiently ameliorating secondary spinal cord injury via scavenging reactive oxygen species. 83 A synthetic nanomaterial for virus recognition has been produced by surface imprinting using silica nanoparticle as a carrier. 84 Nanoparticles have been found to have enhanced bioavailability, electromagnetic, and quantum properties compared with bulk form.…”

“…This necessitates the discovery of new and effective methods for the treatment of SCI, which may allow the restoration of functionally active neuronal cells, the repair of SCI, and the subsequent reduction of neuropathic pain. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are dramatically increased during the in ammatory process following SCI, and are thought to be a major cause of secondary injury and damage to nerve cells, axonal degeneration, neuropathic pain, and motor dysfunction [9]. Therefore, reducing the levels of ROS is expected to improve the biological functions of acutely damaged nerve cells.…”

“…It is beyond doubt that the excessive generated ROS together with the pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β can cause significant damage to inflammatory cells. 30 In this study, NPs composed with mPEG- b -P(PA- alt -GPBAe) reacted with H 2 O 2 after cellular uptake, and reduced the oxidation stress of cells, and subsequently reduce the severity of inflammation. Subsequently, the NPs disassociated and the encapsulated CUR was selectively released at the inflammatory site ( Scheme 1 ).…”
