## Abstract 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA)‐induced protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) fluorescence has shown an outstanding sensitivity for the assessment of oral lesions, but its application was hampered by low specificity due to the high false‐positive rates. The purpose of our study was to explore the feasib

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Studies of 5‐aminolevulinic acid‐induced protoporphyrin IX fluorescence have shown a sensitivity of 95–100% for oral cancer diagnosis, but the specificity is only about 50–60%. Here, we explore the applicability of quantifying PPIX fluorescence images to im
## Abstract This study is the first of its kind to demonstrate that c‐Fos immunoreactivity (ir) together with __c‐fos__ mRNA in their immediately adjacent tissue sections of a discrete brain region can be reliably measured. The __c‐fos__ gene expression in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (
