Cancers located on the internal wall of bladders can be detected in image sequences acquired with endoscopes. The clinical diagnosis and follow-up facilitated by building a unique panoramic bladder images from different viewpoints. This process, called mosaicing, consists two steps. In first step, consecutive are pairwise registered to find local transformation matrices linking geometrically images. second all placed common global coordinate system. this contribution, mutual...

Optical spectroscopy is studied to contribute skin cancer diagnosis. Indeed, optical spectra are modified along progression and provide complementary information (e.g., on metabolism tissue structure) clinical examination for surgical guidance [1,2]. The current original dataset made of autofluorescence diffuse reflectance acquired in vivo 131 patients' with the SpectroLive device [3,4]. Spatially-resolved measurements were performed using a multi-fiber optic probe featuring 4 distances...

Abstract Gap junctions play an important role in vital functions, including the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Connexins 43 (Cx43) are most widely expressed gap junction proteins. Cellular localization phosphorylated Cx43 has been implicated capacity junctional intercellular communication (GJIC). To follow functionality GJIC different types, monolayer cultures, characterized by patterns Cx43, we used a fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) technique, compared two...

Background: Keloids and hypertrophic scars (HSc) affect 4.5–16% of the population. Thus far, different approaches keloid treatment are not very efficient, with a 50% relapse rate many ongoing researches looking for simple, safe more efficient therapeutic methods. Tacrolimus is an immunomodulator that could be useful in treating keloid. Objectives: The objective this study to evaluate effectiveness inhibiting HSc formation on rabbits' ears model check optical skin spectroscopy tissue...

Histopathological analysis and in vivo optical spectroscopy were used to discriminate several histological stages of UV-irradiated mouse skin. At different times throughout the 30-week irradiation, autofluorescence (AF) diffuse reflectance (DR) spectra acquired a bimodal approach. Then skin was sampled processed be classified, according morphological criteria, into four categories: normal, three types hyperplasia (compensatory, atypical, dysplastic). After extracting spectral...
