Provided are a composition for target-specific photothermal therapy and a method of photothermal therapy using the composition and more particularly, a method of photothermal therapy for selectively killing inflammatory cells by using the composition for target-specific photothermal therapy comprising carbon nanotubes coated with dextran. According to the present invention, the composition for photothermal therapy comprising the carbon nanotubes coated with dextran is absorbed only into desired target cells, i.e., inflammatory cells, and causes thermotherapeutic action through light irradiated from an external light source, while not damaging cells except for inflammatory cells. The method of photothermal therapy using the composition for photothermal therapy has advantages of minimizing side effects and maximizing therapeutic effects.

The present invention describes a Pd-catalyst which further contains La, Ti, Nb, K or Si. The Pd-catalyst has a high ethylene selectivity even after a low temperature reduction in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene. The invention also relates to the production of the catalyst. A catalyst of the invention consists essentially of 0.05 to 2.0% by weight, based on the supported catalyst, of palladium and one or two metals chosen form the group consisting of lanthanum, niobium, titanium, potassium and silicon. The catalyst can be prepared by the following procedure.
