NANO-PHOTONICS IN DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY: OMIS AND BIOPTRON DEVICES IN MEDICINE |
| 초록 |
Light-matter interaction of diffuse visible and reflected polarized light is the basis of Opto Magnetic Imaging Spectroscopy (OMIS). This technique identifies average energy state of valence electrons and hydrogen bonds within the sample material. OMIS was used to characterise Papanicolaou (PAP) smears (cervix), skin (melanoma), colon cancer and other tissues in vitro and in vivo. Benefits of OMIS used for endocervical and exocervical smears characterization will be presented. BIOPTRON light therapy is a family of polarized light devices with specific properties, including a polychromatic range of wavelengths in visible and near infrared light spectrum. We have developed hyperpolarized light, which results in 25-30% greater tissue penetration than polarized light. Animal model studies demonstrate that hyperpolarized light increases the tissue effects of nanoparticles. Nanoparticle design can be tailored for the specific frequencies of hyperpolarized light, in relation to the sensitizing or nanoparticle agent, the result being improved depth of tissue penetration combined with improved yield of tissue destruction by various cytotoxic mechanisms |
