A light source apparatus including light spectrum-converting materials that emit light primarily over large portions of the 360 nm-480 nm and the 590-860 nm spectral range is provided. This apparatus provides a cooled, high-luminance, high-efficiency light source that can provide a broader spectrum of light within these spectral ranges than has been cost-practical by using many different dominant peak emission LEDs. Up to 15% of the output radiant power may be in the spectral range 350-480 nm in one embodiment of this device, unless a specific separate source and lamp operating mode is provided for the violet and UV. Control methods for light exposure dose based on monitoring and controlling reflected or backscattered light from the illuminated surface and new heat management methods are also provided. This flexible or rigid light source may be designed into a wide range of sizes or shapes that can be adjusted to fit over or around portions of the bodies of humans or animals being treated, or mounted in such a way as to provide the special spectrum light to other materials or biological processes. This new light source can be designed to provide a cost-effective therapeutic light source for photodynamic therapy, intense pulsed light, for low light level therapy, diagnostics, medical and other biological applications as well as certain non-organic applications.

Methods, devices and systems for delivering light therapy to human or non-human animal subjects. Included are shapeable light therapy devices which are formable into different shapes suitable for delivery of therapeutic light to different regions of the subject's body and will retain the desired shape without a need for the use of a strap or other shape-retaining apparatus. Also included are light therapy devices that, in at least some modes of operation, deliver light that is not visible to the human eye and which include indicator(s) to indicate to a user and/or to the subject being treated when non-visible light is actually being emitted.

A light-emitting, antimicrobial tuber, instrument or catheter includes a thin, flexible tube having an optically transparent wall; and a light transmitter configured and arranged to emit light through the tube, which may be ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation, photodynamic therapy (PDT), violet-blue light therapy, and other light-based therapies. In one embodiment, violet-blue light from 400-500 nm in wavelength, such as 405 nm, for instance, is used. The device is used on a patient and a therapeutic amount of light is administered to the patient, thereby reducing the risk of infections being transmitted from the instrument, tube or catheter to the patient, generally. The device may be configured for use in the urinary tract or as intravascular, and may be indwelling or temporary. Light may be administered for the duration of use or another time period effective to halt, inhibit, or reduce microbial or fungal growth.

Described herein are the systems and methods of treating diseases related to fungal infection with light therapy. In one embodiment, an apparatus that utilizes one or multiple light emitting diodes (LED) to treat the fungus is applied externally to the infection area. Light therapy may applied periodically at scheduled times with continuous or pulsed radiation.

A drug, which can alleviate the side effect of actinotherapy and chemotherapy for the breast cancer, is the drug that is made from the raw materials of traditional Chinese herbal medicines, and the method of preparing for the drug is also provided. The traditional Chinese herbal medicines of a milkvetch root, a ginseng, a cooked rehmannia root, deer horn glue, tortoise glue, a tall gastrodis tuber, a dodder seed, a glossy privet fruit, a barbary wolfberry fruit, an achyranthes, an asarum, a cassia seed, a sun euphorbia, an olibanum gum a myrrh and a nuxvomica are used as the raw materials to be crushed and are concocted with honey as pills. During the courses of the actinotherapy and the chemotherapy, the drug of the invention can effectively improve the quantity of the leucocyte and platelet of the patient and can alleviate and even eliminate the adverse reaction during the courses of the actinotherapy and the chemotherapy to ensure the patient can finish the treatment.

A shaving device having a cutting head tuned for skin conditioning using light therapy. The cutting head of the shaving device includes a plurality of LED lights positioned around cutting blades which provide light therapy to the skin immediately after shaving using a range between 400 nm and 700 nm.

Methods and apparatuses for immunosuppression and/or immunomodulation for the treatment of an improper immune response with the use of UV light. In particular, described herein are methods and apparatuses for the treatment of inflammatory disorders using UVB light at appropriate intensities, durations and (internal) body regions in order to effect substantial and reliably treatment.

The invention discloses a polysaccharide nano composite material and preparation and application thereof, and belongs to the field of development and utilization of anti-tumor nano materials. The amphoteric self-assembled nano micelle entrapped photosensitizer zinc phthalocyanine overcomes the defect that zinc phthalocyanine is insoluble in water, targeting is performed through the EPR effect of the nano material. The tumor targeting property of the zinc phthalocyanine is improved. According to the invention, the limitation that zinc phthalocyanine is applied to the traditional light therapy is broken through, and the zinc phthalocyanine derivative has an obvious inhibition effect on B16 cells and is dose-dependent.

Provided are phototherapeutic needle patches usable for phototherapy by using needle patches capable of injecting drugs or cosmetic substances to patients, and methods of manufacturing the same. A phototherapeutic needle patch may include a patch body attachable to skin of a patient, at least one microneedle protruding from the patch body, one end of the microneedle configured to deliver a drug through stratum corneum of the skin to inner tissues of the skin, and light grooves formed in a concave shape along a length direction of the microneedle in such a manner that therapeutic light radiated from a light source for phototherapy easily penetrates into the skin along the microneedle.
