Book Vibrational Spectroscopy for Tissue Analysis

Download or read book Vibrational Spectroscopy for Tissue Analysis written by Ihtesham ur Rehman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rapidly growing field, vibrational spectroscopy has found applications in industries including pharmaceutical manufacture, food and drug safety, and process monitoring on production lines. In particular, interest in clinical spectroscopy is rising rapidly as researchers recognize the potential of the vibrational spectroscopic techniques—Infrared (IR) and Raman Spectroscopy—as noninvasive tissue diagnosis tools. However, the details of the characteristic peak frequencies and their relationship to specific functional groups present in the biological tissues have not been fully understood. Vibrational Spectroscopy for Tissue Analysis introduces IR and Raman Spectroscopy to those scientists who are either using these spectroscopic techniques to address clinical problems or planning to use spectroscopy to analyze clinical tissues and understand their chemical composition. By compiling the interpretations and understandings of the spectral peaks of the biological molecules in one place, this book aids in the understanding of IR and Raman Spectroscopy, and what these techniques can offer both in early diagnosis of the disease and monitoring of the progression of the disease. Despite the tremendous advances in the field of spectroscopy, where new applications are emerging at the pace of development, there are still areas of research that are crying for further exploration. This book bridges the gap between the spectroscopic research and medical applications.

Book Modern Vibrational Spectroscopy and Micro Spectroscopy

Download or read book Modern Vibrational Spectroscopy and Micro Spectroscopy written by Max Diem and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Vibrational Spectroscopy and Micro-Spectroscopy: Theory, Instrumentation and Biomedical Applications unites the theory and background of conventional vibrational spectroscopy with the principles of microspectroscopy. It starts with basic theory as it applies to small molecules and then expands it to include the large biomolecules which are the main topic of the book with an emphasis on practical experiments, results analysis and medical and diagnostic applications. This book is unique in that it addresses both the parent spectroscopy and the microspectroscopic aspects in one volume. Part I covers the basic theory, principles and instrumentation of classical vibrational, infrared and Raman spectroscopy. It is aimed at researchers with a background in chemistry and physics, and is presented at the level suitable for first year graduate students. The latter half of Part I is devoted to more novel subjects in vibrational spectroscopy, such as resonance and non-linear Raman effects, vibrational optical activity, time resolved spectroscopy and computational methods. Thus, Part 1 represents a short course into modern vibrational spectroscopy. Part II is devoted in its entirety to applications of vibrational spectroscopic techniques to biophysical and bio-structural research, and the more recent extension of vibrational spectroscopy to microscopic data acquisition. Vibrational microscopy (or microspectroscopy) has opened entirely new avenues toward applications in the biomedical sciences, and has created new research fields collectively referred to as Spectral Cytopathology (SCP) and Spectral Histopathology (SHP). In order to fully exploit the information contained in the micro-spectral datasets, methods of multivariate analysis need to be employed. These methods, along with representative results of both SCP and SHP are presented and discussed in detail in Part II.

Book Biological and Biomedical Infrared Spectroscopy

Download or read book Biological and Biomedical Infrared Spectroscopy written by Andreas Barth and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although infrared spectroscopy has been applied with success to the study of important biological and biomedical processes for many years, key advances in this vibrant technique have led to its increasing use, ranging from characterization of individual macromolecules (DNA, RNA, lipids, proteins) to human tissues, cells and their components. Infrared spectroscopy thus has a significant role to play in the analysis of the vast number of genes and proteins being identified by the various genomic sequencing projects. Whilst this book gives an overview of the field, it highlights more recent developments, such as the use of bright synchrotron radiation for recording infrared spectra, the development of two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy and the ability to record infrared spectra at ultra fast speeds.

Book Vibrational Spectroscopy and Spectroscopic Imaging of Biological Cells and Tissue

Download or read book Vibrational Spectroscopy and Spectroscopic Imaging of Biological Cells and Tissue written by Stephan Morris Woods and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been shown previously by single element Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microscopy that the v(C=O) to delta(CH2) band intensity ratio (1740 cm-1/1468 cm-1) is elevated in MS lesions, which supposedly can be attributed to lipid oxidation by free radicals 1. We have extended these studies by using focal plane array (FPA) FTIR spectroscopy to image multiple sclerosis lesions in white matter brain tissue. We have found very good agreement between the lesions identified by FTIR imaging and MS lesions identified by the absence of proteolipid protein (PLP) staining in these regions. To further improve the information obtained from FTIR imaging of MS lesions we have employed multivariate statistical methods, namely cluster analysis. This enabled the analysis of the C=O stretching band (1740 cm-1) and the CH2 scissoring mode (1468 cm-1) in conjunction with bands associated with the proteins (1600 - 1700 cm-1) and DNA (1020 - 1200 cm-1). It was found that the inclusion of the protein and DNA associated bands leads to a significantly improved image quality. The comparison of the images obtained by cluster analysis of spectral regions that exhibit primarily lipid and protein associated bands, with images obtained by including also DNA bands in the analysis, revealed subtle but distinct differences at the fringes of the lesion. These differences might be indicative of an altered pathological state. Molecular analysis of myocardial proteins in Type 2 diabetic hearts using FTIR is lacking. Our objective was to utilize FTIR to assess the hypothesis that Type 2 diabetes increases the amount of protein with beta-sheet structure in the left ventricular myocardium. To accomplish this the amide I band (1652cm-1) peak position of a diabetic mouse heart was compared to the peak position of a normal mouse Myocardium. It was found that there was a shift to lower wavenumbers indicating that the structures of the proteins in the diabetic mouse heart exhibited a higher content of beta-sheets. By studying the CH2 symmetric stretching mode along with other characteristic lipid bands it was found that diabeties type II hearts also have an increased lipid content as well as an increase of lipid saturation. Antibody tagged Gold nanoparticles have been used recently as targeted drug delivery systems. In this study, ascorbic acid gold nanaoparticles were produced and their viability as an antioxidant was monitored by the use of both Infrared spectroscopy and cell death studies showing a 50% increase in cell survival when treated with H2O2 . These antioxidant coated nanoparticles showed potential for used as an antioxidant scaffolding for possible drug studies.
