Abstract
Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy (V-PDT) has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment modality for nonmalignant diseases such as capillary malformations port wine stains (PWS). V-PDT treatment of PWS involves a complex interaction of light, photosensitizer (PS), oxygen and biological tissue. A three-dimensional (3D) model of PWS with a Y-bifurcation blood vessels was proposed for mathematical simulation of the spatial and temporal distribution of singlet oxygen (1O2), which related to the distribution of light, PS and oxygen. A graphics processing units (GPU)-based method, Monte Carlo eXtreme (MCX), was applied to calculate the light deposition in the PWS, and a set of differential equations were utilized to describe the photochemical reactions involved in V-PDT. Using the obtained light energy deposition and the distributions of the PS and oxygen, a dynamic change model of the cumulative concentration of 1O2 ([1O2]) was estimated. The data show that the smaller vessels are more likely to acquire more [1O2].
