(A) Flow chart of photothermal therapy. (B) Infrared thermography of U87MG tumor-bearing mice with intravenous injection of saline or NRh-G-NPs (2.9 mg/mL) (the first and second row); infrared thermography of U87MG tumor-bearing mice with intravenous injection of saline or NRh-G-NPs (2.9 mg/mL) under the 730 nm laser (1.0 W/cm²) irradiation (the third and fourth row). (C) H&E stained tumor slices of the treatment group and the other three control groups. (D) The tumor temperature changes based on the Infrared thermography data in (B). (E) The tumor growth curves of different groups of mice after various treatments. (P= 0.0075) (F) The bodyweight of different groups of mice. (G) The survival rate of mice in different treatment groups. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n= 5).
