The surgical outcome of brain tumor resection and needle biopsy is significantly correlated to the patient's prognosis. Brain tumor surgery is limited to resecting the solid portion of the tumor as current intraoperative imaging modalities are incapable of delineating infiltrative regions. For accurate delineation, in situ tissue interrogation at the submicron scale is warranted. Additionally, multimodal detection is required to remediate the genetically and molecularly heterogeneous nature of brain tumors, notably, that of gliomas, meningioma and brain metastasis. Multimodal detection, such as spectrally‐ and temporally‐resolved fluorescence under one‐ and two‐photon excitation, enables characterizing tissue based on several endogenous optical contrasts. In order to assign the optically‐derived parameters to different tissue types, construction of an optical database obtained from biopsied tissue is warranted. This report showcases the different quantitative and semi‐quantitative optical markers that may comprise the tissue discrimination database. These include: the optical index ratio, the optical redox ratio, the relative collagen density, spectrally‐resolved fluorescence lifetime parameters, two‐photon fluorescence imaging and second harmonic generation imaging. 相似文献

Verotoxin (VT) produced by several Escherichia coli serotypes causes haemorrhagic colitis and has been associated with haemolytic uraemic syndrome in humans. Two types of verotoxin are known. Conventional diagnosis of verotoxin‐producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) is conducted after isolation of bacteria from clinical specimens, followed by serological determination and identification of VTs. This method is complicated and time‐consuming. Recently, rapid, direct immunological methods for identification of VTEC, i.e. immunochromatography and latex agglutination, have been developed. However, these techniques continue to suffer from limited sensitivity and a lack of specificity. These difficulties arise from the fact that the antibody used in these procedures reacts exclusively with the O157 antigen; moreover, VTEC strains with non‐O157 antigens, such as O26, O103 and O111 antigens, exist. These VTEC groups did not react with anti‐O157 antibody. Consequently, it is necessary to diagnose the VT gene in these bacteria. Therefore, we have designed a sensitive and specific method for the detection of two VT genes simultaneously, utilizing duplex PCR with time‐resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA).

We investigated the complex interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and curcumin by combining time‐resolved fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. The interaction was significant and sensitive to fluorescence lifetime and synchronous fluorescence characteristics. Binding of curcumin significantly shortened the fluorescence lifetime of BSA with a bi‐molecular quenching rate constant of kq = 3.17 × 1012 M‐1s‐1. Denaturation by urea unfolded the protein molecule by quenching the fluorescence lifetime of BSA. The tyrosine synchronous fluorescence spectra were blue shifted whereas the position of tryptophan synchronous fluorescence spectra was red shifted during the unfolding process. However, denaturation of urea had little effect on the synchronous fluorescence peak of tyrosine in curcumin‐BSA complex except in the low concentration range; however, it shifted the peak to the red, indicating that curcumin shifted tryptophan moiety to a more polar environment in the unfolded state. Decreases in the time‐resolved fluorescence lifetime and curcumin‐BSA complex during unfolding were recovered during refolding of BSA by a dilution process, suggesting partial reversibility of the unfolding process for both BSA and curcumin‐BSA complex.

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‐2 and ‐9 play important roles in the progression of atherosclerosis. This study aims to determine whether MMP‐2 and ‐9 content in the fibrotic caps of atherosclerotic plaque is correlated with plaque autofluorescence. A time‐resolved laser‐induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TR‐LIFS) system was used to measure the autofluorescence and assess the biochemical composition of human plaques obtained from carotid endarterectomy. Results presented here demonstrate for the first time the ability to characterize the biochemical composition as it relates to MMP‐2 and ‐9 content in the atherosclerotic plaque cap using a label‐free imaging technique implemented with a fiberoptic TR‐LIFS system.

A rapid, simple and sensitive label‐free fluorescence method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of an important drug, heparin. This new method was based on water‐soluble glutathione‐capped CdTe quantum dots (CdTe QDs) as the luminescent probe. CdTe QDs were prepared according to the published protocol and the sizes of these nanoparticles were verified through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) with an average particle size of about 7 nm. The fluorescence intensity of glutathione‐capped CdTe QDs increased with increasing heparin concentration. These changes were followed as the analytical signal. Effective variables such as pH, QD concentration and incubation time were optimized. At the optimum conditions, with this optical method, heparin could be measured within the range 10.0–200.0 ng mL?1 with a low limit of detection, 2.0 ng mL?1. The constructed fluorescence sensor was also applied successfully for the determination of heparin in human serum. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The fluorescence, ultraviolet (UV) absorption, time resolved techniques, circular dichroism (CD), and infrared spectral methods were explored as tools to investigate the interaction between histamine H1 drug, epinastine hydrochloride (EPN), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) under simulated physiological conditions. The experimental results showed that the quenching of the BSA by EPN was static quenching mechanism and also confirmed by lifetime measurements. The value of n close to unity indicated that one molecule of EPN was bound to protein molecule. The binding constants (K) at three different temperatures were calculated (7.1 × 104, 5.5 × 104, and 3.9 × 104M−1). Based on the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH0, ΔG0, and ΔS0), the nature of binding forces operating between drug and protein was proposed. The site of binding of EPN in the protein was proposed to be Sudlow's site I based on displacement experiments using site markers viz, warfarin, ibuprofen, and digitoxin. Based on the Förster's theory of non‐radiation energy transfer, the binding average distance, r between the donor (BSA) and acceptor (EPN) was evaluated and found to be 4.48 nm. The UV–visible, synchronous fluorescence, CD, and three‐dimensional fluorescence spectral results revealed the changes in secondary structure of the protein upon its interaction with EPN. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A rapid and sensitive two‐step time‐resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) was developed for the detection of Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) and its variants in Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains. In sandwich mode, a monoclonal antibody against Stx2 was coated on a microtiter plate as a capture antibody. A tracer antibody against Stx2 labeled with europium(III) (Eu3+) chelate was then used as a detector, followed by fluorescence measurements using time‐resolved fluorescence. The sensitivity of Stx2 detection was 0.038 ng/ml (dynamic range, 0.1–1000 ng/ml). The intra‐ and inter‐assay coefficients of variation of the assay were 3.2% and 3.6%, respectively. The performance of the established assay was evaluated using culture supernatants of STEC strains, and the results were compared to those of a common HRP (horseradish peroxidase) labeling immunosorbent assay. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of genes encoding Stx1 and Stx2 was used as the reference for comparison. Correlation between the Stx2‐specific TRFIA and PCR was calculated by the use of kappa statics, exhibiting a perfect level of agreement. The availability of the sensitive and reliable Stx2‐specific TRFIA method for quantifying Stx2 and its variants in STEC strains will complement bacteria isolation‐based platform and aid in the accurate and prompt diagnosis of STEC infections. 相似文献

A new simple, rapid and sensitive reversed‐phase liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of methocarbamol (MET) and aspirin (ASP) in their combined dosage form. The separation of these compounds was achieved within 6.0 min on a CLC Shim‐pack C8 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size) using isocratic mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.02 M dihydrogenphosphate buffer (30:70, v/v) at pH = 5.0. The analysis was performed at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with fluorescence detection at 277/313 nm for MET and 298/410 nm for ASP using real‐time programming. The selectivity, linearity of calibration, accuracy, inter‐ and intra‐day precision and recovery were examined as parts of the method validation. The concentration–response relationship was linear over concentration ranges of 0.02‐0.20 and 0.02‐0.40 µg/mL for MET and ASP, respectively, with a limit of detection of 6 and 32 ng/mL for MET and ASP, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the analysis of both MET and ASP in prepared tablets with average recoveries of 99.88 ± 0.65% for MET and 100.44 ± 0.78% for ASP. The results were favourably compared to those obtained by a reference method. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
