Heat treatment of human esophageal tissues: Effect on esophageal cancer detection using oxygenated hemoglobin diffuse reflectance ratio

The main objective of the present work is to study the influence of heat treatment on the esophageal cancer detection using the diffuse reflectance (DR) spectral intensity ratio R540/R575 of oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO₂) absorption bands to distinguish the epithelial tissues of normal human esophagus and moderately differentiated esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) at different heat treatment temperature of 20, 37, 42, 50, and 60°C, respectively. The DR spectra for the epithelial tissues of the normal esophagus and ESCC in vitro at different heat-treatment temperature in the wavelength range 400–650 nm were measured with a commercial optical fiber spectrometer. The results indicate that the average DR spectral intensity overall enhancement with concomitant increase of heat-treatment temperature for the epithelial tissues of normal esophagus and ESCC, but the average DR spectral intensity for the normal esophageal epithelial tissues is relatively higher than that for ESCC epithelial tissues at the same heat-treatment temperature. The mean R540/R575 ratios of ESCC epithelial tissues were always lower than that of normal esophageal epithelial tissues at the same temperature, and the mean R540/R575 ratios of the epithelial tissues of the normal esophagus and ESCC were decreasing with the increase of different heat-treatment temperatures. The differences in the mean R540/R575 ratios between the epithelial tissues of normal esophagus and ESCC were 13.33, 13.59, 11.76, and 11.11% at different heat-treatment temperature of 20, 37, 42, and 50°C, respectively. These results also indicate that the DR intensity ratio R540/R575 of the hemoglobin bands is a useful tool for discrimination between the epithelial tissues of normal esophagus and ESCC in the temperature range from room temperature to 50°C, but it was non-effective at 60°C or over 60°C.

Luminescence of mercuric iodide crystals

Low-temperature (4.2–130 K) photoluminescence spectra of HgI₂ crystals have been measured in the 540–700 nm region. An analysis of the characteristics (intensity vs temperature and excitation power relations, afterglow times, excitation spectra) of the 560, 620, and 635 nm emission bands suggests the following assignments: the 560 nm band is due to radiative annihilation of excitons bound to mercury vacancies, and the “red” emission originates from recombination of free (620 nm) and donor-localized (635 nm) electrons with a hole-filled acceptor level. The energies of the corresponding donor and acceptor levels have been estimated. New emission bands at 540, 545, and 575 nm have been discovered, and their origin discussed. Fiz. Tverd.

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for monitoring diabetic foot ulcer – A pilot study

Foot ulceration due to diabetes mellitus is a major problem affecting 12–25% of diabetic subjects in their lifetime. An untreated ulcer further gets infected which causes necrosis leading to amputation of lower extremities. Early identification of risk factors and treatment for these chronic wounds would reduce health care costs and improve the quality of life for people with diabetes. Recent clinical investigations have shown that a series of factors including reduced oxygen delivery and disturbed metabolism have been observed on patients with foot ulceration due to diabetes. Also, these factors can impair the wound healing process. Optical techniques based on diffuse reflectance spectroscopy provide characteristic spectral finger prints shed light on tissue oxygenation levels and morphological composition of a tissue. This study deals with the application of diffuse reflectance intensity ratios based on oxyhemoglobin bands (R542/R580), ratios of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin bands (R580/R555), total hemoglobin concentration and hemoglobin oxygen saturation between normal and diabetic foot ulcer sites. Preliminary results obtained are found to be promising indicating the application of reflectance spectroscopy in the assessment of foot ulcer healing.

Near‐infrared Raman spectroscopy for gastric precancer diagnosis

Raman spectroscopy is a molecular vibrational spectroscopic technique that is capable of optically probing the biomolecular changes associated with neoplastic transformation. The purpose of this study was to apply near‐infrared (NIR) Raman spectroscopy for differentiating dysplasia from normal gastric mucosa tissue. A total of 65 gastric mucosa tissues (44 normal and 21 dysplasia) were obtained from 35 patients who underwent endoscopy investigation or gastrectomy operation for this study. A rapid NIR Raman system was utilized for tissue Raman spectroscopic measurements at 785‐nm laser excitation. High‐quality Raman spectra in the range of 800–1800 cm⁻¹ can be acquired from gastric mucosa tissue within 5 s. Raman spectra showed significant differences between normal and dysplastic tissue, particularly in the spectral ranges of 850–1150, 1200–1500 and 1600–1750 cm⁻¹, which contained signals related to proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. The diagnostic decision algorithm based on the combination of Raman peak intensity ratios of I₈₇₅/I₁₄₅₀ and I₁₂₀₈/I₁₆₅₅ and the logistic regression analysis yielded a diagnostic sensitivity of 90.5% and specificity of 90.9% for identification of gastric dysplasia tissue. This work demonstrates that NIR Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with intensity ratio algorithms has the potential for the noninvasive diagnosis and detection of precancer in the stomach at the molecular level.

Near infrared Raman spectroscopic characterization of blood plasma of normal,oral premalignant and malignant conditions—a pilot study

The metabolic end products from cells/tissues that are released into the circulating blood stream and any changes in their level because of pathological conditions may be used as markers in disease diagnosis. Raman spectroscopy has been exploited to characterize the biomolecules present in the blood plasma of clinically confirmed normal group, premalignant (Oral Sub Mucous Fibrosis) and malignant (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma) at 784.15 nm. Raman spectral signatures show relatively less intense Raman bands of phenylalanine, lipid and antioxidant beta carotene but higher intense bands for proteins, DNA base components and amino acids (tyrosine and tryptophan) for malignant group than that of normal group. However premalignant group possess high intense Raman bands for amino acids (tyrosine and tryptophan) at 830, 1020 and 1620 cm⁻¹ and protein peaks at 913, 978 and 1646 cm⁻¹ when compared to that of malignant and normal group. Principal component analysis coupled with linear discriminant analysis (PCA‐LDA) yielded a diagnostic sensitivity of 96.3% and 91.2%, and a specificity of 80.0% and 96.7% in the classification of normal from premalignant and normal from malignant, respectively. This indicates that Raman spectroscopy of blood plasma has the potential in classifying normal and oral malignancy conditions. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optical absorption and scattering spectra of pathological stomach tissues

Diffuse reflection spectra of biotissues in vivo and transmission and reflection coefficients for biotissues in vitro are measured over 300–800 nm. These data are used to determine the spectral absorption and scattering indices and the scattering anisotropy factor for stomach mucous membranes under normal and various pathological conditions (chronic atrophic and ulcerous defects, malignant neoplasms). The most importan tphysiological (hemodynamic and oxygenation levels) and structural-morphological (scatterer size and density) parameters are also determined. The results of a morphofunctional study correlate well with the optical properties and are consistent with data from a histomorphological analysis of the corresponding tissues.

Optical study of ZnP2 nanoparticles in zeolite Na-X

Nanoparticles of the II-V semiconductor (ZnP₂) were prepared and investigated. ZnP₂ nanoparticles were incorporated into zeolite Na-X matrix. Absorption, diffuse reflection (DR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnP₂ nanoparticles were measured at the temperature of 77 K. Five bands B₁-B₅ are observed in both the DR and PL spectra demonstrating the blue shift from the line of free exciton in bulk crystal. We attribute the B₁-B₅ bands to five stable nanoparticles with size less than the size of zeolite Na-X supercage. We observed Stokes shift of the PL bands with respect to the absorption bands. This dependence of this Stokes shift on the particle size is nonmonotonic.
