Scientists of Saratov state University have developed a new optical technology for personal treatment of the aggressive forms of glial brain tumors by using gold nanoparticles, said on Thursday the regional Ministry of industry and energy.

According to scientists, during the preparatory phase in a patient with an aggressive form of brain tumor (glioma) of the drawn blood sample are macrophages, which are loaded gold nanoparticles. Then with a laser produced photodynamic treatment 630-660 nanometers, opens the blood-brain barrier (the system that does not pass from the blood into the brain of toxic substances and microorganisms), and in brain tumor, are macrophages with gold nanoparticles for the effective diagnosis of the borders of the tumor due to the movement of macrophages in the tumor marginal zone.

«Effective personalized treatment of brain tumors is achieved laser action 800 nanometers of gold nanoparticles at the edges of the tumor, whereby it is noted the death of tumor cells, stopping their growth», — quotes Agency the developers.

Scientists note that the new optical technology allows you to open a temporary «window» of the blood brain barrier and then the barrier function is restored.

A little video game-playing 'linked with better-adjusted children'

A new study suggests video game-playing for less than an hour a day is linked with better-adjusted children and teenagers. The research, carried out by Oxford University, found that young people who indulged in a little video game-playing were associated with being better adjusted than those who had never played or those who were on video games for three hours or more. The study finds no positive or negative effects for young people who played ‘moderately’ between one to three hours a day. However, the study, published in the journal, Pediatrics, suggests that the influence of video games on children, for good or for ill, is very small when compared with more ‘enduring’ factors, such as whether the child is from a functioning family, their school relationships, and whether they are materially deprived.
