Fluorescence studies of hematoporphyrin derivative in normal and malignant rat tissue.

چکیده
Laser-induced fluorescence in rat tissue was studied during the uptake and clearing period of i.v.-injected hematoporphyrin derivative. A malignant rat tumor and normal tissue of 20 different kinds from the tumor-bearing animals were investigated. A pulsed nitrogen laser (337 nm) was used in conjunction with an optical multichannel analyzer system, in which the whole fluorescence light distribution was captured for each laser pulse. Several of the organs exhibited an initial and a delayed intensity peak in the characteristic hematoporphyrin derivative laser-induced fluorescence intensity (630 nm) that might be interpreted as due to intracellular transformations of different chemical components of the hematoporphyrin derivative preparation. By dividing the background-free 630-nm signal by the blue fluorescence intensity, a dimensionless quantity is obtained that could have many advantages in practical endoscopic laser-induced fluorescence work. This ratio was also shown to exhibit a larger contrast between tumor and surrounding tissue. The ratio between the two red fluorescence peaks was also found to be useful for discriminating tumor from normal tissue. A combination of the two ratios was shown to be particularly valuable for tumor discrimination.

Histological study of the effect of hematoporphyrin derivative photodynamic therapy on the rat jejunum.
Hematoporphyrin derivative photodynamic therapy is evolving as a local treatment for neoplastic disease. The emphasis of previous research has been on the determination of mechanisms of tumoricidal activity and defining the tumoricidal porphyrin component in hematoporphyrin derivative. The effect of hematoporphyrin derivative photodynamic therapy on normal tissue has received little attention. ...
متن کاملClinical fluorescence diagnosis of human bladder carcinoma following low-dose Photofrin injection.
A point-monitoring fluorescence diagnostic system based on a low-energy pulsed laser, fiber transmission optics, and an optical multichannel analyzer was used for diagnosis of patients with bladder malignancies. Twenty-four patients with bladder carcinoma, carcinoma in situ, and/or dysplasia were injected with hematoporphyrin derivative, Photofrin, 0.35 or 0.5 mg/kg body weight, forty-eight hou...
متن کاملDiagnosis of model choroidal malignant melanoma by hematoporphyrin derivative fluorescence in rabbits.
A nonsurgical experimental system for detection of malignant tissue in the posterior ocular segment has been developed. A choroidal amelanotic malignant melanoma in rabbits served as a tumor model. Fluorescence of an hematoporphyrin derivative which is concentrated by malignant tissue was observed and measured simultaneously, using a modified binocular indirect ophthalmoscope. Clinical evaluati...
متن کاملDetermination of [3H]- and [14C]hematoporphyrin derivative distribution in malignant and normal tissue.
The synthesis and tissue-localizing ability of [14C]- and [3H]hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) in mice have been described. Tissue levels and distributions were the same for both radioactive compounds, indicating that in vivo tritium exchange did not occur with [3H]HPD. The amount of [14C]HPD or [3H]HPD which localized in the transplanted tumor tissue of mice at various times following i.p. inj...
