We use terahertz imaging to measure four human skin scars in vivo. Clear contrast between the refractive index of the scar and surrounding tissue was observed for all of the scars, despite some being difficult to see with the naked eye. Additionally, we monitored the healing process of a hypertrophic scar. We found that the contrast in the absorption coefficient became less prominent after a few months post‐injury, but that the contrast in the refractive index was still significant even months post‐injury. Our results demonstrate the capability of terahertz imaging to quantitatively measure subtle changes in skin properties and this may be useful for improving scar treatment and management.

Common perception regards the nucleus as a densely packed object with higher refractive index (RI) and mass density than the surrounding cytoplasm. Here, the volume of isolated nuclei is systematically varied by electrostatic and osmotic conditions as well as drug treatments that modify chromatin conformation. The refractive index and dry mass of isolated nuclei is derived from quantitative phase measurements using digital holographic microscopy (DHM). Surprisingly, the cell nucleus is found to have a lower RI and mass density than the cytoplasm in four different cell lines and throughout the cell cycle. This result has important implications for conceptualizing light tissue interactions as well as biological processes in cells.

Collagen is the main component of structural mammalian tissues. In tendons, collagen is arranged into fibrils with diameters ranging from 30 nm to 500 nm. These fibrils are further assembled into fibres several micrometers in diameter. Upon excessive thermal or mechanical stress, damage may occur in tendons at all levels of the structural hierarchy. At the fibril level, reported damage includes swelling and the appearance of discrete sites of plastic deformation that are best observed at the nanometer‐scale using, for example, scanning electron microscopy. In this paper, digital in‐line holographic microscopy is used for quantitative phase imaging to measure both the refractive index and diameter of collagen fibres in a water suspension in the native state, after thermal treatments, and after mechanical overload. Fibres extracted from tendons and subsequently exposed to 70 °C for 5, 15, or 30 minutes show a significant decrease in refractive index and an increase in diameter. A significant increase in refractive index is also observed for fibres extracted from tendons that were subjected to five tensile overload cycles.

Raman images were used to study the effect of the contaminant chlorpyriphos‐oxon on zebrafish eye samples. Multivariate Curve Resolution‐Alternating Least Squares (MCR‐ALS) was used to obtain the distribution maps and spectral signatures of biological components present in the images analyzed. The use of MCRALS spectral signatures as starting information for Partial Least Squares‐Discriminant Analysis allowed statistical assessment of the effect of the contaminant at a specific tissue level.

Eu3+integrated photoluminescence intensity ratio (PLIR) approach for optical detection of lactates in blood serum, plasma and confocal imaging of brain tissues has very high potential for exploitation of this technique in both in vitro monitoring and in vivo bioimaging applications for the detection of biomarkers in various diseases states. This image is diagrammatic representation of fact that the overall PLIR is higher with more lactates conjugated with Eu3+ ions. Further details can be found in the article by Tarun Kakkar et al.

Inside Cover: Internalization kinetics and cytoplasmic localization of functionalized diatomite nanoparticles in cancer cells by Raman imaging (J. Biophotonics 4/2018) 下载免费PDF全文
Stefano Managò Nunzia Migliaccio Monica Terracciano Michela Napolitano Nicola M. Martucci Luca De Stefano Ivo Rendina Anna Chiara De Luca Annalisa Lamberti Ilaria Rea 《Journal of biophotonics》2018,11(4)
The internalization kinetics and intracellular spatial distribution of functionalized diatomite nanoparticles in human lung epidermoid carcinoma cell line have been investigated by confocal fluorescence and Raman microscopy. In this context, Raman imaging due to its non‐destructive, chemically selective and label‐free working principle provides evidence that the nanovectors are internalized and co‐localize with lipid environments, suggesting an endocytic internalisation route. Nanoparticle uptakes and intracellular persistence are observed up to 72 hours, without damage to cell viability or morphology. Further details can be found in the article by Stefano Managò et al.

A plasmon waveguide resonance (PWR) sensor is proposed for studying the interaction between gold nanoparticles and proteins. The ability of the PWR sensor to operate in both TM and TE Polarizations, i.e. its polarization diversity, facilitates the simultaneous spectroscopy of the nanoparticles surface reactions using both polarizations. The response of each polarization to streptavidin‐biotin binding at the surface of gold nanoparticles is investigated in real time. Finally, using the principles of multimode spectroscopy, the nanoparticle's surface reactions are decoupled from the bulk solution refractive index variations.

Yanpeng Li Hui Ma Lin Gan Andong Gong Haibin Zhang Deming Liu Qizhen Sun 《Journal of biophotonics》2018,11(9)
Sensitive Escherichia coli detection based on a T4 bacteriophageimmobilized multimode microfiber is proposed and demonstrated in this article. Different modes are excited and guided in the microfiber as evanescent field that can interact with surrounding E. coli directly. The change of E. coli concentration and corresponding binding of E. coli on microfiber surface will lead to the shift of optical spectrum, which can be exploited for the application of biosensing.

Front Cover: A high‐throughput all‐optical laser‐scanning imaging flow cytometer with biomolecular specificity and subcellular resolution (J. Biophotonics 2/2018) 下载免费PDF全文
A new type of high‐throughput imaging flow cytometer (>20 000 cells s‐1) based upon an all‐optical ultrafast laser‐scanning imaging technique, called free‐space angular‐chirp‐enhanced delay (FACED) is reported. FACED imaging flow cytometers enables high‐throughput visualization of functional morphology of individual cells with subcellular resolution. It critically empowers largescale and deep characterization of single cells and their heterogeneity with high statistical power— an ability to become increasingly critical in single‐cell analysis adopted in a wide range of biomedical and life‐science applications.

Congenital cardiovascular defects are the leading cause of birth defect related death. It has been hypothesized that fluid mechanical forces of embryonic blood flow affect cardiovascular development and play a role in congenital malformations. Studies in small animal embryos can improve our understanding of congenital malformations and can lead to better treatment. We present a feasibility study in which high‐resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are combined to provide quantitative analysis of the embryonic flow mechanics and the associated anatomy in a small animal model.

Monochromatic subdiffusive spatial frequency domain imaging provides in‐situ sensitivity to intratumoral morphological heterogeneity in a murine model 下载免费PDF全文
David M. McClatchy III P. Jack Hoopes Brian W. Pogue Stephen Chad Kanick 《Journal of biophotonics》2017,10(2):211-216
For the first time, spatially resolved quantitative metrics of light scattering recovered with sub‐diffusive spatial frequency domain imaging (sd‐SFDI) are shown to be sensitive to changes in intratumoral morphology and viability by direct comparison to histopathological analysis. Two freshly excised subcutaneous murine tumor cross‐sections were measured with sd‐SFDI, and recovered optical scatter parameter maps were co‐registered to whole mount histology. Unique clustering of the optical scatter parameters vs. γ (i.e. diffuse scattering vs. relative backscattering) evaluated at a single wavelength showed complete separation between regions of viable tumor, aggresive tumor with stromal growth, varying levels of necrotic tumor, and also peritumor muscle. The results suggest that with further technical development, sd‐SFDI may represent a non‐destructive screening tool for analysis of excised tissue or a non‐invasive approach to investigate suspicious lesions without the need for exogenous labels or spectrally resolved imaging.

The biomaterial distribution and its molecular mechanism of embryonic development in Japanese medaka fish were visualized without staining using high‐speed near‐infrared imaging. It was a remarkable achievement to visualize the structures of eyes, lipid bilayer membranes, micelles, and water structural variations at the interface of different substances. Furthermore, insights on lipid metabolism and membrane functions were obtained from the biased distribution of lipoproteins and the presence of unsaturated fatty acids in the egg membrane.

Optical redox ratio and endogenous porphyrins in the detection of urinary bladder cancer: A patient biopsy analysis 下载免费PDF全文
Scott Palmer Karina Litvinova Andrey Dunaev Ji Yubo David McGloin Ghulam Nabi 《Journal of biophotonics》2017,10(8):1062-1073
Bladder cancer is among the most common cancers in the UK and conventional detection techniques suffer from low sensitivity, low specificity, or both. Recent attempts to address the disparity have led to progress in the field of autofluorescence as a means to diagnose the disease with high efficiency, however there is still a lot not known about autofluorescence profiles in the disease. The multi‐functional diagnostic system “LAKK‐M” was used to assess autofluorescence profiles of healthy and cancerous bladder tissue to identify novel biomarkers of the disease. Statistically significant differences were observed in the optical redox ratio (a measure of tissue metabolic activity), the amplitude of endogenous porphyrins and the NADH/porphyrin ratio between tissue types. These findings could advance understanding of bladder cancer and aid in the development of new techniques for detection and surveillance.

Induction of neuronal activation by femtosecond‐pulsed laser irradiation and its potential application for amyloid‐β–induced toxicity assessment 下载免费PDF全文
Manipulating neural activity is crucial for studying the neural connectivity and the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disease. Among various techniques for neural activation, direct optical stimulation method with femtosecond‐pulsed laser is simple and can be specifically applied on a single neuron. Brief irradiation of femtosecond laser pulses on a neuron elevates intracellular calcium, and it propagates to adjacent neurons. However, the mechanisms of laser‐induced neural activation are still unclear. In this report, we have elucidated the mechanism of laser‐induced neural activation which could be mediated by superoxide, specifically blocked by diphenyleneiodonium chloride, and depletion in intracellular calcium storage. Furthermore, we also showed that the propagation of calcium initiated by laser stimulation is dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium as well as electrical and chemical synapses. We verified the applicability of such mechanism for the assessment of neuronal functionality, by measuring calcium elevation, intracellular calcium propagation, ROS increase, and performing cell death assay in vehicle and Aβ‐treated neurons. This work suggests promising applications of the potential for implementing such laser‐induced neural activation for rapid and reliable drug screening.

Fluorescence imaging studies of the processes leading to photodynamic inactivation of bacteria have been limited due to the small size of microorganisms as well as by the faint fluorescence of most photosensitizers. A versatile method based on highly‐sensitive fluorescence microscopy is presented which allows to study, in real time, the incorporation of photosensitizers inside S. aureus upon photodynamic action. The method takes advantage of the fluorescence enhancement of phenothiazine and porphyrin photosensitizers upon entering the bacterial cytosol after the cell wall has been compromised. In combination with typical assays, such as the addition of specific enhancers of reactive oxygen species, it is possible to extract mechanistic information about the pathway of photodynamic damage at the single‐cell level. Imaging experiments in deuterated buffer strongly support a Type‐I mechanism for methylene blue and a very minor role of singlet oxygen.
