Lipid droplets imaging with three-photon microscopy
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. Lipid droplets (LDs) participate in many physiological processes, the abnormality of which will cause chronic diseases and pathologies such as diabetes and obesity. It is crucial to monitor the distribution of LDs at high spatial resolution and large depth. Herein, we carried three-photon imaging of LDs in fat liver. Owing to the large three-photon absorption cross-section of the luminogen named NAP-CF3 ([math][math]cm6 s2), three-photon fluorescence fat liver imaging reached the largest depth of 80[math][math]m. Fat liver diagnosis was successfully carried out...

Cerium-based nanoparticles for cancer photodynamic therapy
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. Metal- and metal-oxide-based nanoparticles have been widely exploited in cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT). Among these materials, cerium-based nanoparticles have drawn extensive attention due to their superior biosafety and distinctive physicochemical properties, especially the reversible transition between the valence states of Ce(III) and Ce(IV). In this review, the recent advances in the use of cerium-based nanoparticles as novel photosensitizers for cancer PDT are discussed, and the activation mechanisms for electron transfer to generate singlet oxygen are...

Suppression of transmembrane sodium currents on the freshly isolated hippocampal neuron cell with continuous infrared light
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences,Volume 16, Issue 02, March 2023. Physiotherapeutic effects of infrared lasers have been proved in clinic. These infrared-based regulations of the bioelectrical activities can roughly be classified into enhancement and suppression of action potential (AP), which are described by sodium (Na) and potassium (K) transmembrane current equations, named as Hodgkin and Huxley (HH)-model. The enhancement effect is able to evoke or strengthen the AP when infrared light is applied. Its corresponding mechanism is commonly ascribed to the changes of the cell membrane capacitance, which is tr...

Label-free breast cancer detection and classification by convolutional neural network-based on exosomes surface-enhanced raman scattering
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences,Volume 16, Issue 02, March 2023. Because the breast cancer is an important factor that threatens women ’s lives and health, early diagnosis is helpful for disease screening and a good prognosis. Exosomes are nanovesicles, secreted from cells and other body fluids, which can reflect the genetic and phenotypic status of parental cells. Compared with other methods for early diagnosis of cancer (such a s circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA), exosomes have a richer number and stronger biological stability, and have great potential in early diagnosis. Thus, it ...

Fluorescence emission difference microscopy based on polarization modulation
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, Ahead of Print. In this paper, we propose a new fluorescence emission difference microscopy (FED) technique based on polarization modulation. An electro-optical modulator (EOM) is used to switch the excitation beam between the horizontal and vertical polarization states at a high frequency, which leads to solid- and donut-shaped beams after spatial light modulation. Experiment on the fluorescent nanoparticles demonstrates that the proposed method can achieve [math] spatial resolution. Using the proposed system, the dynamic imaging of subcellular structures in living cells over...
