Abstract

Bi, a high atomic number element, has a high photoelectric absorption coefficient, and Se has anticancer activity. Hence, their compound chalcogenide (Bi 2 Se 3) deserves a thorough investigation for biomedical applications. This study reveals that Bi 2 Se 3 nanoplates (54 nm wide) protected with poly(vinylpyrollidone) (PVP) could be presumed to have low toxicity even at a high dose of 20 mg/kg in mice. This conclusion is made through studies on the biodistribution and 90‐day long term in vivo clearance of the nanoplates. The liver and spleen are dominant organs for accumulation of the nanoplates, which is mainly due to RES absorption. 93% of the nanoplates are cleared after 90 days of treatment. Concentrations of Bi and Se in tumor tissue continuously increased until 72 h after intraperitoneal injection into mice. Such selective accumulation of Bi is utilized to enhance the contrast of X‐ray computerized tomography (CT) images. Bi element concentrated in a tumor leads to damage on the tumor cells when exposed to gamma radiation. Growth of the tumor is significantly delayed and stopped in 16 days after the tumor is treated by radiation with Bi 2 Se 3 nanoplates. This work clearly shows that Bi 2 Se 3 nanoplates may be used for cancer radiation therapy and CT imaging. The nanoplates deserve further study for biological and medical applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
