This system uses gratings (1200 g/mm) with several micron thick PDMS film on surface. Normally incident laser was coupled into a thin glass slide by grating coupling and confined in the slide due to the total internal reflection (TIR). The TIR generates evanescent planar wave on the glass surface. The evanescent wave was employed to excite the fluorescent signals in the microarrays. The method takes the advantages of low excitation background, large and uniform detection area.","PeriodicalId":346624,"journal":{"name":"The Second Asian and Pacific Rim Symposium on Biophotonics, 2004.

Currently SPR sensors are mainly based on measuring the angular shift associated with biomolecular adhesion. In fact it has been shown that the phase jump across the SPR dip is very steep, and consequently better sensitivity may be achieved by measuring the optical phase. In this presentation, we report interferometric techniques we have developed in our laboratory for achieving SPR phase detection. We also demonstrate that the incorporation of differential phase detection can further improve the performance of SPR biosensors. Currently the experimental sensitivity of our differential phase setup is 5.48/spl times/10/sup -8/ refractive index unit (RIU), which is three times better than that reported from conventional angular systems.","PeriodicalId":346624,"journal":{"name":"The Second Asian and Pacific Rim Symposium on Biophotonics, 2004.

Endoscopic techniques for evaluation and management of airway in pediatric patients have matured greatly in the past decade, especially with the introduction of Laser instrumentation. For example, to treat severe laryngomalacia, subglottic hemangioma, laryngeal papillomatosis, granuloma or web, subglottic or tracheal stenosis, bilateral vocal fold paralysis, tracheobronchial tumor etc. were all effective in selective cases. These developments have been proved that pediatric endoscopic laser surgery can be performed in the airway safely and effectively when a team approach is used.

{"title":"Hypoxia-inducible factor-1/spl alpha/ (HIF-1/spl alpha/) and photodynamic therapy","authors":"Lin-Hung Wei, C. Chou, J. Su","doi":"10.1109/APBP.2004.1412292","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/APBP.2004.1412292","url":null,"abstract":"Summary form only given. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment modality that is being tested in the clinic for use in oncology. PDT requires three elements: light, a photosensitizer and oxygen. PDT-mediated oxidative stress elicits direct tumor cell damage and microvascular injury within exposed tumor. Microvasculature damage following PDT leads to a significant decrease in blood flow as well as severe and persistent tumor tissue hypoxia. Subsequently, tissue hypoxia can induce a plethora of molecular and physiological responses, including an adaptive response associated with gene activation. A primary step in hypoxia-mediated gene activation is the formation of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1) transcription factor complex. Hypoxia induces the stabilization of the HIF-1/spl alpha/, which in turn allows for the formation of the transcriptionally active protein complex. Up to date, the HIF-1-responsive genes that can modulate the PDT response have not been well identified. In the current study, we employed 5-aminolevulinic acid as a photosensitizer, 630 nm wavelength light-emitting diode (LED) manufactured by the Industrial Technology Research Institute as a light source. The experimental results demonstrated that cancer cells are more resistant to PDT under hypoxic status. PDT can transcriptionally induce or enhance HIF-1/spl alpha/ expression in different cervical cancer cell lines (SiHa, HeLa, Caski, C33A, HT-3), immortalized cervical epithelium cell line 183 A, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Pharmacological and genetic inhibition assays revealed that PI3K/Akt signaling critically involves in the activation of HIF-1/spl alpha/ by PDT in SiHa cells. When SiHa cells was treated with antisense HIF-1/spl alpha/ (20/spl mu/M), PDT activated HIF-1/spl alpha/ protein expression was markedly inhibited, and subsequently sensitized SiHa cells to PDT. Currently, pharmaceutical companies actively develop novel compounds targeting HIF-1/spl alpha/ as a promising cancer therapy. The results of this study will, therefore, provide important information to improve the therapeutic efficacy of PDT and have great clinical applicable potential.","PeriodicalId":346624,"journal":{"name":"The Second Asian and Pacific Rim Symposium on Biophotonics, 2004.
