Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease originating from an overwhelming response of the mucosal immune system. Low dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) may modify the mucosal immune response and thus serve as a therapy for Crohn's disease. Most patien ...
The aim of the present study was to monitor photodynamic angioocclusion with verteporfin in capillaries. Details of this process were recorded under a microscope in real-time using a high-sensitivity video camera. A procedure was developed based on intrave ...
Monitoring biological relevant reactions on the single molecule level based on fluorescence spectroscopy techniques has become one of the most promising approaches for understanding a variety of phenomena in biophysics, biochemistry and life science. By ap ...
The aim of this thesis is to optimise and gain fundamental information on two applications of photomedicine using fluorescence imaging and spectrofluorometry: (1) the detection of early bronchial cancer by autofluorescence imaging and (2) the endometrial a ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of meso-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (m-THPC) encapsulated into liposomal formulations to occlude neovascularization. Two m-THPC formulations including conventional or plain liposomes (Foslip) based on ...
We present a high speed full range spectral domain optical coherence tomography system. By inserting a phase modulator into the reference arm and recording of every other spectrum with a 90° phase shift (introduced by the phase modulator) we are able to di ...
Three-dimensional ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR OCT) and adaptive optics (AO) are combined using a liquid crystal programmable phase modulator (PPM) as a correcting device for the first time. AO is required for correcting ocular ab ...
Various human pathologies, such as cancers or, notably, exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), are characterized by an abnormal vascular proliferation (angiogenesis), which in the case of this type of AMD, can rapidly lead to blindness if no cou ...
Efficacy and tumour selectivity of photodynamic therapy with two clinically approved sensitizers (mTHPC, verteporfin) were assessed for focal intracavitary photodynamic therapy (PDT) in rodents with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) at recommended drug- ...
The precise determination of residual stress profiles in optical fibers allows drawing conclusions about radiation-induced density-changes of the fibers doped core glass. The corresponding index changes partially contribute to the phenomenon of photosensit ...
