Treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis with photodynamic therapy: Systematic review of current evidence [PDF]
Background: Peritoneal carcinomatosis results when tumour cells implant and grow within the peritoneal cavity. Treatment and prognosis vary based on the primary cancer.

Photodynamic Therapy for Superficial Esophageal Cancer Using an Excimer Dye Laser
In order to improve the therapeutic effectiveness of photodynamic therapy with Photofrin II and laser light for superficial esophageal cancer, we employed an excimer dye laser instead of an argon dye laser. Eight superficial esophageal cancer lesions (7 cases) were treated.

Abstract Excitation wavelength effects on hematoporphyrin (HP) and hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD, Photofrin II) fluorescence spectra, quantum yields and decays were comparatively studied in homo geneous (at different pH and substrate concentrations) and microheterogeneous (Triton X 100 micelles and Bovine serum albumin) aqueous ...

Quantitative near-infrared spectroscopy of cervical dysplasia in vivo [PDF]
The aims of this study were: (i) to quantify near-infrared optical properties of normal cervical tissues and high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesions (H-SIL); (ii) to assess the feasibility of differentiating normal cervical tissues from H-SIL on the

Characterisation of Two Photosensitizing Compounds from Typhonium Flagelliforme Schott and Their Mode of Action in Inducing Cancer Cell Death [PDF]
A bio-assay guided approach was used to isolate photosensitizing compounds from Typhonium flagelliforme Schott, a plant considered by local communities to possess anticancer properties.

Effect of low energy argon laser and dihematoporphyrin ether on the growth, viability, and catecholamine production of C1300 murine neuroblastoma cells in vitro [PDF]
Low power laser induced fluorescence of dihematoporphyrin ether (DHE, photofrin 2) is used to detect cancer. The goal was to determine the effect of low power argon laser light and DHE on C-1300 murine neuroblastoma cells (MNB, NB41A3).

Biological activities of phthalocyanines : effects of human serum components on the in vitro uptake and photodynamic activity of zinc phthalocyanine [PDF]
Nous avons étudié l'effet des composantes du sérum humain sur l'activité photodynamique de la phtalocyanine de zinc (ZnPc) sur des fibroblastes de hamster chinois (lignée V-79). Nous avons d'abord montré que les activités photodynamiques sont correlées à

New Approach to Inactivation of Harmful and Pathogenic Microorganisms by Photosensitization [PDF]
Photosensitization is a treatment involving the administration of a photoactive compound that selectively accumulates in the target cells or microorganisms and is followed by irradiation with visible light.

Effect of calcium on the vasoactive response of arterioles to light during fluorescent intravital microscopy of the tibialis anterior muscle of the hamster [PDF]
Arterioles may undergo a transient vasoactive response when exposed to light during fluorescent intravital microscopy. We hypothesized that the type and frequency of the vasoactive responses by arterioles to light is calcium dependent.
