To solve this problem, we investigated an evaluation assay using a three-dimensional (3D) model of cancer tissue. In this study, a 3D model consisting of tumor and stromal layers was used to compare and verify radiobiological effects with conventional two-dimensional (2D) methods. A significant difference in the response to radiation was observed between the 2D and 3D models. The relative number of cancer cells decreased with X-ray dose escalations in the 2D and 3D models. In contrast, the relative number of normal cells was quite different between the 2D and 3D models. Considering the ability of cells to recover from radiation-induced damage, the histological results of the 3D model were reflected in the clinical data. Histopathological analysis using a 3D model is a potential method for evaluating radiobiological effects on the tumor and tumor margins.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":436,"journal":{"name":"Talanta Open","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666831924000110/pdfft?md5=bc5883f91ca2ca484638358c38d000fe&pid=1-s2.0-S2666831924000110-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139898466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The techniques employ N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as an oxidizing agent and three dyes, namely amaranth, methylene blue, and indigo carmine. The three methods rely on the oxidation reaction of retigabine with an excess of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in an acidic environment. The unreacted NBS is then quantified by reacting it with fixed amounts of dyes, specifically amaranth, methylene blue, and indigo carmine. The absorbance at 520 nm, 664 nm, and 610 nm is measured for each respective dye. Linear relationships with high correlation coefficients (0.9992-0.9997) were observed under optimal conditions across concentration ranges of 0.5-12, 0.5-16, and 0.5–10 µg/ml. The limit of detection (LOD) for amaranth, methylene blue, and indigo carmine methods were determined to be 0.15, 0.15, and 0.14 µg/ml, respectively. The accuracy and precision of the approaches have been assessed for both intra-day and inter-day measurements. There was no observable interference caused by the typical tablet excipients.
