Background: Differentiation between ulcerative colitis (UC) and other intestinal inflammatory diseases is difficult, and the precise etiology of UC is poorly understood. Thus, there is a need for novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for UC.

Methods: Intestinal mucosal biopsy tissue specimens of inflamed (ulcerative colitis-inflamed, UC-I) and non-inflamed (ulcerative colitis-noninflamed, UC-N) tissue were obtained simultaneously during colonoscopy from newly diagnosed UC patients prior to any treatments.

The development of economical optical devices with a reduced footprint foreseeing manipulation, sorting and detection of single cells and other micro particles have been encouraged by cellular biology requirements. Nonetheless, researchers are still ambitious for advances in this field. This paper presents Fresnel zone and phase plates fabricated on mode expanded optical fibres for optical trapping.

Unlabelled: We report the fabrication of a phase photon sieve (PS) on the tip of a standard single mode fiber by focused ion beam (FIB) milling. The fiber tip was dip-coated with a conductive polymer (

Pedot: PSS) as an alternative, more advantageous method to the metallization prior to FIB milling. The near field scans of the intensity profile along the optical axis under fiber illumination of a laser at λ = 1.

This Letter reports a new method for the generation of optical vortices using a micropatterned optical fiber tip. Here, a spiral phase plate (2π phase shift) is micromachined on the tip of an optical fiber using a focused ion beam. This is a high resolution method that allows milling the fibers with nanoscale resolution.
