Near real-time confocal microscopy of amelanotic tissue: detection of dysplasia in ex vivo cervical tissue.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The authors performed this study to determine whether images of ex vivo tissue obtained with a near real-time confocal microscope can be used to differentiate between normal and dysplastic tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biopsy specimens of colposcopically normal and abnormal cervical tissue were obtained from 19 patients and imaged at various depths with a confocal mic...
متن کاملMucoadhesive polymer films for tissue retraction in laparoscopic surgery: Ex-vivo study on their mechanical properties.
Safe and effective manipulation of soft tissue during laparoscopic procedures can be achieved by the use of mucoadhesive polymer films. A series of novel adhesive polymer films were formulated in house based on either Carbopol or Chitosan modified systems. The mechanical properties of the polymers and their adherence to bowel were evaluated using ex-vivo pig bowel immersed in 37°C water bath an...
متن کاملRobotic Needle Steering in ex-vivo and in-vivo Tissue
Robotic needle steering is a promising technique to improve the effectiveness of needle based clinical procedures, such as biopsies and ablation, by computer controlled, curved insertions of needles within the body. In this paper, we explore the capabilities, challenges, and clinical relevance of tip asymmetric needle steering though experiments in ex vivo and in vivo tissue. We evaluate the re...
متن کاملCharacterization of CD4(+) CTLs ex vivo.
The cytotoxic potential of CD8(+) T cells and NK cells plays a crucial role in the immune response to pathogens. Although in vitro studies have reported that CD4(+) T cells are also able to mediate perforin-mediated killing, the in vivo existence and relevance of cytotoxic CD4(+) T cells have been the subject of debate. Here we show that a population of CD4(+) perforin(+) T cells is present in ...
متن کاملMechanical tissue optical clearing devices: enhancement of light penetration in ex vivo porcine skin and adipose tissue.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The complex morphological structure of tissue and associated variations in the indices of refraction of components therein, provides a highly scattering medium for visible and near-infrared wavelengths of light. Tissue optical clearing permits delivery of light deeper into tissue, potentially improving the capabilities of various light-based therapeutic techniques, such...
