赤霉素及竹红菌甲素荧光量子产率的常量化区域

通过对赤毒素、竹红菌甲素及苯酚量子产率的测定与比较发现,这三种荧光化合物都具有一个相对于激发波长的量子产率的稳定区域。尽管它们具有多个激发峰,但不同激发峰所激发的荧光量子产率差别较小。竹红菌甲素在室温放置一个月,690nm荧光光谱有明显的改变。以上结果提示在测定未知荧光化合物的量子产率时,被测溶液的散射较强,同时荧光物的激发与发射波长彼此相接近。量子产率较弱时,可以在最大激发峰的蓝移方向上选择激发波长来避免散射光的干扰,提高量子产率测定的准确度。竹红菌甲素在690nm的荧光肩峰,可能是分子空间结构上容易发     

荧光法定量肿瘤中的光敏剂浓度

在光动力学治疗和肿瘤的荧光诊断中,要确定剂量就需要知道组织中的光敏剂浓度.一种基于荧光测定的方法已被设计出来,可测量瘤体中光敏剂浓度,实验结果表明此注是有前途的.我们应用漫射理论于平面组织体,用的激发波长和发射波长很接近,断定了激发和发射辐射能流及深度x的函数与x的无关性.又从测得的漫反射率推得漫射系数和衰减系数的函数.该函数补偿了不同组织或是定标模型和组织间吸收和散射的差异,从而建立了肿瘤中光敏剂浓度定量测定的技术路线.

Ultraviolet and violet light: attractive orientation cues for the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella

The Indian meal moth (IMM), Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), engages in long-distance or foraging flights in the twilight hours of the scotophase when blue light dominates the irradiance spectrum of the sky. We tested the hypothesis that IMM uses wavelengths of visible blue/violet light as orientation cues that trigger phototactic responses. In four-choice laboratory experiments, blue light (400–475 nm) was significantly more effective than green (475–600 nm), orange (575–700 nm), or red (590–800 nm) light in attracting males and mated females. In subsequent experiments that tested light emitting diodes (LEDs) emitting peak wavelengths in the blue/violet-light range, the 405-nm 'violet' LED was significantly more effective than the 435-, 450-, or 470-nm 'blue' LED in attracting males as well as virgin and mated females. In electroretinogram recordings, the 405-nm wavelength elicited significantly stronger receptor potentials from female and male eyes than the 350-nm (UV) wavelength, and in a behavioral experiment it significantly enhanced the known attractiveness of UV light. Equal attraction of IMMs to 405-nm LEDs at 600–700 µW/cm² with or without UV light, and significantly stronger attraction to a 405-nm LED than to a 350-nm LED at maximum light intensities, suggest that the deployment of violet instead of UV light could become one of several management tactics for control of IMMs.     

Polarized site-selective fluorescence spectroscopy of the long-wavelength emitting chlorophylls in isolated Photosystem I particles of Synechococcus elongatus

Isolated trimeric Photosystem I complexes of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus have been studied with absorption spectroscopy and site-selective polarized fluorescence spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures. The 4 K absorption spectrum exhibits a clear and distinct peak at 710 nm and shoulders near 720, 698 and 692 nm apart from the strong absorption profile located at 680 nm. Deconvoluting the 4 K absorption spectrum with Gaussian components revealed that Synechococcus elongatus contains two types of long-wavelength pigments peaking at 708 nm and 719 nm, which we denoted C-708 and C-719, respectively. An estimate of the oscillator strengths revealed that Synechococcus elongatus contains about 4–5 C-708 pigments and 5–6 C-719 pigments. At 4 K and for excitation wavelengths shorter than 712 nm, the emission maximum appeared at 731 nm. For excitation wavelengths longer than 712 nm, the emission maximum shifted to the red, and for excitation in the far red edge of the absorption spectrum the emission maximum was observed 10–11 nm to the red with respect to the excitation wavelength, which indicates that the Stokes shift of C-719 is 10–11 nm. The fluorescence anisotropy, as calculated in the emission maximum, reached a maximal anisotropy of r=0.35 for excitation in the far red edge of the absorption spectrum (at and above 730 nm), and showed a complicated behavior for excitation at shorter wavelengths. The results suggest efficient energy transfer routes between C-708 and C-719 pigments and also among the C-719 pigments.Abbreviations Chl chlorophyll - FWHM full width at half maximum - PS I Photosystem I     

The time-dependent behaviour of hematoporphyrin-derivative in saline: a study of spectral modifications

Hematoporphyrin-Derivative (HpD), a widely-used tumor-specific photosensitizer, is a complex mixture of porphyrins whose composition has yet to be clarified. This paper reports on the behaviour of HpD in saline. From a spectroscopic point of view, the fresh solution is characterized by two main absorption peaks, attributable to monomeric and dimeric forms. With aging, a new porphyrin species (NPS) appears. To define the NPS, absorption, excitation and emission spectra were measured in different conditions and time-resolved fluorescence measurements were also performed. This species exhibits an absorption/excitation peak at 405 nm, an emission peak at 575 nm and a fluorescence decay time of approximately 3.5 ns. Its formation is strongly influenced by many environmental factors: in particular, gases diluted in the solution, temperature, pH and concentration. The presence of Oxygen and a pH value outside the 6-8 range may be considered inhibiting factors. The NPS seems to be quite important in the understanding of HpD tumor-specificity, since the presence of an emission band similar to the NPS one seems to be favoured in tumor cells as compared with normal cells.

405 nm versus 633 nm for protoporphyrin IX excitation in fluorescence‐guided stereotactic biopsy of brain tumors

Fluorescence diagnosis may be used to improve the safety and reliability of stereotactic brain tumor biopsies using biopsy needles with integrated fiber optics. Based on 5‐aminolevulinic‐acid‐induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence, vital tumor tissue can be localized in vivo during the excision procedure to reduce the number of necessary samples for a reliable diagnosis. In this study, the practical suitability of two different PpIX excitation wavelengths (405 nm, 633 nm) was investigated on optical phantoms. Violet excitation at 405 nm provides a 50‐fold higher sensitivity for the bulk tumor; this factor increases up to 100 with decreasing fluorescent volume as shown by ray tracing simulations. Red excitation at 633 nm, however, is noticeably superior with regard to blood layers obscuring the fluorescence. Experimental results on the signal attenuation through blood layers of well‐defined thicknesses could be confirmed by ray tracing simulations. Typical interstitial fiber probe measurements were mimicked on agarose‐gel phantoms. Even in direct contact, blood layers of 20–40 µm between probe and tissue must be expected, obscuring 405‐nm‐excited PpIX fluorescence almost completely, but reducing the 633‐nm‐excited signal only by 25.5%. Thus, 633 nm seems to be the wavelength of choice for PpIX‐assisted detection of high‐grade gliomas in stereotactic biopsy.

Analyses of absorption and fluorescence spectra of water-soluble chlorophyll proteins, pigment system II particles and chlorophyll a in diethylether solution by the curve-fitting method.

Absorption and fluorescence spectra in the red region of water-soluble chlorophyll proteins, Lepidium CP661, CP663 and Brassica CP673, pigment System II particles of spinach chloroplasts and chlorophyll a in diethylether solution at 25 degrees C were analyzed by the curve-fitting method (French, C.S., Brown, J.S. and Lawrence, M.C. (1972) Plant Physiol 49, 421--429). It was found that each of the chlorophyll forms of the chlorophyll proteins and the pigment System II particles had a corresponding fluorescence band with the Stokes shift ranging from 0.6 to 4.0 nm. The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a in diethylether solution was analyzed to one major band with a peak at 660.5 nm and some minor bands, while the fluorescence spectrum was analyzed to one major band with a peak at 664.9 nm and some minor bands. A mirror image was clearly demonstrated between the resolved spectra of absorption and fluorescence. The absorption spectrum of Lepidium CP661 was composed of a chlorophyll b form with a peak at 652.8 nm and two chlorophyll a forms with peaks at 662.6 and 671.9 nm. The fluorescence spectrum was analyzed to five component bands. Three of them with peaks at 654.8, 664.6 and 674.6 nm were attributed to emissions of the three chlorophyll forms with the Stokes shift of 2.0--2.7 nm. The absorption spectrum of Brassica CP673 had a chlorophyll b form with a peak at 653.7 nm and four chlorophyll a forms with peaks at 662.7, 671.3, 676.9 and 684.2 nm. The fluorescence spectrum was resolved into seven component bands. Four of them with peaks at 666.7, 673.1, 677.5 and 686.2 nm corresponded to the four chlorophyll a forms with the Stokes shift of 0.6--4.0 nm. The absorption spectrum of the pigment System II particles had a chlorophyll b form with a peak at 652.4 nm and three chlorophyll a forms with peaks at 662.9, 672.1 and 681.6 nm. The fluorescence spectrum was analyzed to four major component bands with peaks at 674.1, 682.8, 692.0 and 706.7 nm and some minor bands. The former two bands corresponded to the chlorophyll a forms with peaks at 672.1 and 681.6 nm with the Stokes shift of 2.0 and 1.2 nm, respectively. Absorption spectra at 25 degrees C and at --196 degrees C of the water-soluble chlorophyll proteins were compared by the curve-fitting methods. The component bands at --196 degrees C were blue-shifted by 0.8--4.1 nm and narrower in half widths as compared to those at 25 degrees C.     

Spectroscopic studies on origination of the peak at 730 nm in delayed fluorescence of chloroplasts.

The origination of the peak at 730 nm in the delayed fluorescence (DF) spectrum of chloroplasts was studied using various optical analysis methods. The DF spectrum showed that the main emission peak was at about 685 nm, with a small shoulder at 730 nm when the chloroplast concentration was < 7.8 microg/mL. The intensity of the peak at 685 nm decreased, while the intensity of the peak at 730 nm increased, when the chloroplast concentrations were increased from 7.8 to 31.2 microg/mL. With the concentration increasing, the peak at 730 nm became dominant while the peak at 685 nm finally disappeared. The DF decay kinetic curves showed that the intensity of the peak at 730 nm decayed as the same speed as the intensity of the peak at 685 nm during the entire relaxation process (0.5-30.5 s). With the excitation wavelength at 685 nm, the emission intensity was stronger in the excitation spectrum at 730 nm. The absorption spectrum demonstrated that the ratio A(685):A(730) remained almost constant when the chloroplast concentration increased. The results suggest that the peak at 730 nm appearing in DF is mainly contributed by the fluorescence of photosystem I (PSI), generated by the re-absorption of 685 nm band DF.     

Red region excitation spectra of protochlorophyllide in dark-grown leaves from plant species with different proportions of its spectral forms

Etiolated leaves of three different species, maize, wheat, and pea, as well as a pea mutant (lip1) were used to compare the excitation spectra of protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) in the red region. The species used have different composition of short-wavelength and long-wavelength Pchlide forms. The relation between different forms was furthermore changed through incubating the leaves in 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), which caused an accumulation of short-wavelength Pchlide forms, as shown by changes in absorption and fluorescence spectra. This is the first time a comprehensive comparison is made between excitation spectra from different species covering an emission wavelength range of 675–750 nm using fluorescence equipment with electronic compensation for the variations in excitation irradiance. The different forms of Pchlide having excitations peaks at 628, 632, 637, 650, and 672 nm could be best measured at 675, 700, 710, 725, and 750 nm, respectively. Measuring emission at wavelengths between 675– 710 nm gave an exaggeration of the short-wavelength forms and measuring at longer wavelengths gave for the pea leaves an exaggeration of the 672 nm peak. In general, an energy transfer from short-wavelength Pchlide forms to long-wavelength Pchlide forms occurred, but such an energy transfer sometimes seemed to be limited as a result of a discrete location of the Pchlide spectral forms. The excitation spectra resembling the absorption spectrum most were measured at an emission wavelength of 740 nm. Measuring the excitation at 710 nm gave higher intensity of the spectra but the short-wavelength forms were accentuated.

The fluorescence spectrum was resolved into seven component bands. Four of them with peaks at 666.7, 673.1, 677.5 and 686.2 nm corresponded to the four chlorophyll a forms with the Stokes shift of 0.6–4.0 nm. The absorption spectrum of the pigment System II particles had a chlorophyll b form with a peak at 652.4 nm and three chlorophyll a forms with peaks at 662.9, 672.1 and 681.6 nm. The fluorescence spectrum was analyzed to four major component bands with peaks at 674.1, 682.8, 692.0 and 706.7 nm and some minor bands. The former two bands corresponded to the chlorophyll a forms with peaks at 672.1 and 681.6 nm with the Stokes shift of 2.0 and 1.2 nm, respectively.Absorption spectra at 25°C and at ?196°C of the water-soluble chlorophyll proteins were compared by the curve-fitting method. The component bands at ?196°C were blue-shifted by 0.8–4.1 nm and narrower in half widths as compared to those at 25°C.     

Temperature regime of biological tissue under photodynamic therapy

An analytical model is proposed to calculate heating of human skin cover under laser light action of photodynamic therapy. A photosensitizer of "Fotolon" is taken as an example. Temperatures of skin surface and of deep dermis regions are studied as a function of time under pulsed and stationary irradiation of skin surface at the wavelength of 665 nm corresponding to the maximum of the photosensitizer absorption band. It is shown that, under the action of a short light pulse, the photosensitizer can lead to an essential temperature rise of dermis due to a considerable increase in its absorption coefficient. However, this rise does not destruct tissue cells because of the short action. Under stationary irradiation, the photosensitizer concentration has a low effect on the temperature regime of tissue. This is related with the specific features in heating of the medium by red light, where the main thermal process in skin is heat transfer over tissue volume from epidermis having a substantially larger absorption coefficient than that of dermis in the said spectral range. The role of blood perfusion in dermis and its effect on the temperature regime of tissue are evaluated.
