Photoacoustic imaging features of intraocular tumors: Retinoblastoma and uveal melanoma
The purpose of this study is to examine the capability of photoacoustic (PA) imaging (PAI) in assessing the unique molecular and architectural features in ocular tumors. A real-time PA and ultrasonography (US) parallel imaging system based on a research US platform was developed to examine retinoblastoma in mice in vivo and human retinoblastoma and uveal melanoma ex vivo. PA signals were genera...
متن کاملTransducible peptide therapy for uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether transducible peptides that inhibit the oncoproteins HDM2 and Bcl-2 may selectively kill uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma cells. METHODS Peptides were tested by viability assay, flow cytometry, TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated fluorescein-dUTP nick-end labeling) assay, Western blot analysis, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactio...
متن کاملIntraocular inflammation after proton beam irradiation for uveal melanoma.
AIM To describe the inflammatory reaction that can occur following proton beam irradiation of uveal melanomas based on a large series of patients and to try to determine the risk factors for this reaction. METHODS Data from a cohort of patients with uveal melanoma treated by proton beam irradiation between 1991 and 1994 were analysed. The presence of inflammation was recorded and evaluated. K...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure elevation during radioactive plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma.
children (aged 6-16 years). An increase in IOP of 15 mm Hg or more was measured 11 patients (41%)—4 of 5 children and 7 of 22 adults. An increase of 20 mm Hg or more was seen in 2 of 5 children and 3 of 22 adults. The peak IOP was 30 mm Hg or higher in 3 of 5 children and 4 of 22 adults. All IOP increases responded to difluprednate discontinuation or addition of glaucoma medications. No patient...
متن کاملGrowth of melanoma brain tumors monitored by photoacoustic microscopy.
Melanoma is a primary malignancy that is known to metastasize to the brain and often causes death. The ability to image the growth of brain melanoma in vivo can provide new insights into its evolution and response to therapies. In our study, we use a reflection mode photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) system to detect the growth of melanoma brain tumor in a small animal model. The melanoma tumor cel...
