Native fluorescence spectroscopic characterization of DMBA induced carcinogenesis in mice skin for the early detection of tissue transformation.

The objective of the study is to characterize the endogenous porphyrin fluorescence in a dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) induced mouse skin tumor model using native fluorescence emission and excitation spectroscopy. Two intensity ratio parameters I580/I635 and I420/I515 were selected to represent the key fluorophore of endogenous porphyrins from emission and excitation spectra recorded in vivo from 31 DMBA treated animals and 5 control animals. In the emission spectrum, the endogenous porphyrin was elevated at 635 nm in different transformation lesions such as hyperplasia, papilloma, dysplasia, ESCC and WDSCC.

Native Fluorescence and Time Resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopic Characterization of Normal and Malignant Oral Tissues Under UV Excitation--an In Vitro Study.

The present work aims to investigates the native fluorescence and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopic characterization of oral tissues under UV excitation. The fluorescence emission spectra of oral tissues at 280 nm excitation were obtained. From the spectra, it was observed that the alteration in the biochemical and morphological changes present in tissues.
