Abstract
The applicability of synchrotron radiation to implementation of medical ideas associated with introduction of nonbiological objects into a human body—implants, drug nanocapsules, and X-ray therapeutic means (metal nanoparticles and nanocrystalline phosphors and scintillators)—is considered. Synchrotron radiation presents new possibilities of analyzing the surface with a resolution comparable to the sizes of biological nanostructures involved in interactions such as chemical and biochemical modification of implant surfaces in vitro; activation of implant surface integration with biological tissue in a tissue culture (in vitro) and in vivo; biochemical modification of therapeutic nanoparticle surface in vitro; immunocamouflage by host proteins; attachment of “molecular targets”, i.e., antibodies, to target tissue to provide targeted delivery vehicles; and local activation of X-ray therapeutic drugs and drug nanocapsules in biological tissues. A functional block diagram of a medical technological station is given.
