The use of fluorescence spectroscopy to discriminate atherosclerotic from normal tissue is limited by a lower sensitivity for calcified than noncalcified atherosclerotic plaque (65% vs. 93%, respectively). To evaluate plasma emission as a means to detect calcified plaque, 325 normal and atherosclero
Precise targeting of laser energy to atherosclerotic plaque is crucial for the safe performance of laser angioplasty. The present study was designed to evaluate whether laser-induced fluorescence could distinguish atherosclerotic from normal aorta. Segments of human aorta obtained at necropsy were c
CzCl radials hove been dctectcd in the C30, + 0 flame system by laser-induced Iluorescencc. The dependence of (ClO] on [O] has been measured and its lmpliutlons for the clementvy reactions occurring in the CsOz + 0 and hydroarbonatom flame systems are discussed.
The photophysical characteristics of the europium (III)-thenoyltrifluoroacetone chelate were studied in a micellar Triton X-100 aqueous solution and in ethanol in correlation with the strong europium-sensitized fluorescence observed in these media. The properties of the chelate and the resulting ion
