Optical clearing of the lung tissue aims to make it more transparent light by minimizing scattering, thus allowing reconstruction three-dimensional structure with a much better resolution. This is great importance for monitoring viral infection impact on alveolar and oxygen transport. agents (OCAs) can provide not only lesser scattering components but also may influence molecular transport function membrane. Air-filled lungs present significant challenges optical imaging including coherence tomography (OCT), confocal two-photon microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, because large refractive-index mismatch between alveoli walls enclosed air-filled region. During OCT imaging, strongly backscattered at each air–tissue interface, such that image typically limited single alveolus. At same time, filling these cavities an OCA, which water (physiological solution) be attributed since its refractive index higher than air will lead transmittance. review presents general principles advances in field (TOC) technology, OCA delivery mechanisms tissue, studies microbial infections response, antimicrobial antiviral photodynamic therapies using methylene blue (MB) indocyanine green (ICG) dyes as photosensitizers.

Vibrio vulnificus is an invasive marine bacterium that causes a variety of serious infectious diseases. With the increasing multidrug-resistant variants, treatment V. infections becoming more difficult. In this study, we explored antimicrobial blue light (aBL; 405 nm wavelength) for infections. We first assessed efficacy aBL against five strains in vitro. Next, identified and quantified intracellular porphyrins to provide mechanistic insights. Additionally, measured reactive oxygen species (ROS) production bacterial membrane permeabilization following exposures. Lastly, conducted preclinical study investigate safety prevention burn caused by mice. found effectively killed vitro both planktonic biofilm states, with up 5.17- 4.57-log10 CFU reduction being achieved, respectively, exposure 216 J/cm2.

This study was conducted to find out the effect of 5 periods exposure laser rays (0,15,10,5,20) minutes on phenotypic mutations Drosophila melanogaster, as well calculating percentage mortality and larval failure. The results showed that beams had significant effects in causing mutations, especially 15-minute period, which amounted 0.33 thus formed differences compared control group. also caused clear rate mortality, death 100% for period 20 minutes, while this decreased 27% 34% 10 respectively, lowest failure 0% at 20, led all larvae.
