Preliminary Study of Chemical Speciation of Sulphur in Cancerous Tissues

چکیده
In this paper we focused on analysis of composition and elemental distribution (by SRIXE) in tissue structures of biological samples. We examined cancerous and non-cancerous prostate tissues. Successful determination of elemental concentration was very important for latter XANES measurements. A better understanding of the functionality of sulphur by the study of the spatial distribution, chemical properties and its surrounding in different kind of prostate tissues is very important and may give the answer to the questions which protein are involved in cancer process.

Preliminary Study on Chemical Speciation of Sulphur in Cancerous Tissues
Sulphur is vital for almost all living organisms by participating in a wide variety of metabolic processes. Nevertheless its biochemistry is only partially understood, due to it a few tools such as X-ray absorption near edge structure may be used to determine its chemical speciation in biological system. In this paper we focused on analysis of composition and elemental distribution in tissue st...

Simultaneous laser induced- breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and acoustic response techniques as well as Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) are applied to investigate the abnormal lymph tissues due to Hodgkin disease. The spectral shift in the emissive fluorescence of the cancerous tissues has been observed respect to the normal ones. Regarding LIBS, the concentrations of Ca and Na trace elements ha...
