Abstract

The presence of anomalies in biological tissue and cells in natural or cultured form (e.g. cancerous tissue or cells) is detected by directing a beam of infrared light at a preservative treated sample, prepared from fresh biological tissue or cells, in either the transmission mode or the Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) mode. The anomaly is then determined by whether changes in infrared absorption have occurred, due to the vibration of at least one functional group of molecules present in the sample, which are characteristic of the anomaly. The preservative may be an aqueous solution of formalin, an aqueous solution of ethyl alcohol, or an aqueous solution of inorganic salts. The preservative treatment prevents degradation of the sample at room temperature which has been found to change the infrared absorption characteristics which can lead to misinterpretations.

Description

The infrared spectrum probe method that whether unusual biological tissue or cell sample be
The present invention relates to unusual infrared spectrum probe method in antiseptic self-sow or fresh biological tissue of ARTIFICIAL CULTURE or cell sample.
In order to check leukaemia, people such as E.Benedetti are at Leukemia Research, and PP.1001-1008 has proposed following scheme in (Vol.9, Nov.8,1985):
I) with chemical means other cell and component separating in lymphocyte (lymphocytes) and the blood are come;
Ii) isolated lymphocyte (lymphocytes) is carried out vacuum drying;
Iii) dried lymphocyte (lymphocytes) is mixed with powdery KBr as bonding agent;
Iv) lymphocyte (lymphocytes)/KBr is ground to form smalls;
V) this smalls is pressed into small pieces in sampling receptacle;
Vi) utilize infrared spectrometric analyzer to measure the infrared spectrum of this sample.
Although people's such as Benedetti scheme is that effectively it has destroyed eucaryotic cell structure fully, thereby lost the important information about tissue or cellular abnormality that can therefrom obtain.In addition, people such as Benedetti does not take to prevent the rotten measure of lymphocyte (lympho-cytes).These defectives have seriously limited the range of application of people's proposed schemes such as Benedetti.
United States Patent (USP) 5,038 has also proposed to utilize infrared spectroscopy to check the method for biological tissue under nature and the ARTIFICIAL CULTURE state or cellular abnormality on No. 039 (on August 6th, 1991, inventor P.T.T.Wong etc.).In this method, utilize infrared beam that biological tissue or cell sample are shone.This tissue or cell in the raw also can be through ARTIFICIAL CULTURE, and they are diffused in the water or are cut into slices, but still keep its natural form.Under radiation situation, at least one band frequency scope, utilize spectral analysis determine whether owing to sample at least one molecule functional group's vibration produced ultrared absorption, and this absorbing phenomenon is certain off-note.
The method that people such as P.T.T.Wong proposes in 5,038, No. 039 patent, pernicious colon epithelial cell in checking human body, effective especially when colon tumor tissue and liver tumour are organized.
On Dec 1st, 1992, people such as P.T.T.Wong were 5,168, in No. 162 United States Patent (USP)s with people such as P.T.T.Wong 5,038, the method that proposes in No. 039 patent is promoted and is used to check that cast-off cells are unusual, and utilize pap staining smear (Papani-colaousmear) and the cervical cell that obtain whether pernicious especially effective in inspection this moment.
Although people such as P.T.T.Wong are 5,038,039 and 5,168, the detection method that is proposed in No. 162 patents has been proved to be effectively, and its used sample must be through freezing in case rotten.Have now found that at room temperature, even in a short period of time, spectral absorption also significant variation can take place.Although people such as P.T.T.Wong are 5,038, disclosed the lipides that in five hours or longer time internal thymus tissue, contain branched chain fatty acid in No. 039 patent and increased (see this patent the 8th be listed as the 21st to 32 capable), but this patent can not make the people who knows this technology believe, under the room temperature, even if in very short time, the spectral absorption meeting in tissue or the cell changes, and the amplitude that this spectral absorption changes is enough in some cases to the demonstration that makes mistake, and causes thinking by mistake existing unusually.More meaningfully, the present patent application people finds that unexpectedly the variation of these spectral absorption can provide the reading that is similar to such as cancerous tissue or cell indication.
Usually, when obtaining to be used for the surgery sample of tissue examination, this sample is carried out freezing anticorrosion in the process that is transported to the Pathology Lab that carries out tissue examination.After arriving this laboratory, utilize the freezing microtome section technology that this sample is cut into slices, thereby be provided for the tissue sample of tissue examination.
According to 5,038, No. 039 United States Patent (USP) carries out infrared spectrum when detecting, and sample thickness must be less than about 20 microns, and operation at room temperature after must thawing.
If make sample thaw and at room temperature place even the very short time, have now found that generations rotten, this rotten absorption that can change spectrum, and provide in fact non-existent unusual mistake in some cases and indicate.
W.J.Potts Jr. is at " chemical infrared spectroscopy " (first volume in 1963: technology, the 238th~242 page) on research chemical material (for example cross-linked polymer and resin) optical characteristics has been proposed, the method of its infrared intensity particularly, soon respective material is filled up the hole in the solid-state little crystal block of sodium chloride, shield this crystal block so that make light on its outer surface can only pass this little crystal block volume, and this crystal block is placed in the infrared beam focusing system.Infrared spectrum can be used to obtain from the reflection of this chemical material surface emissivity (rather than utilizing the transmission of passing this material), and such spectrum that produces is very weak so that have very little value usually.When this paper formulation, people have dreamed up and a kind ofly have been called as the total reflection of decay (often being abbreviated as ATR) technology, thereby have obtained the more gratifying reflectance spectrum of quality yet recently.
Although the method that W.J.Potts Jr. is introduced is effective to the organic polymer and the resin material that in fact can not destroy, but the sample (for example deriving from the sample of fresh biological tissue or cell) that can not make the people who knows this technology use sodium chloride to preserve at room temperature can going bad is used for surveying wherein unusual by Infrared spectroscopy.In addition, thus the moisture content in these samples can dissolve the sodium chloride crystal block makes its inefficacy.But W.J.Potts Jr. has pointed out just to have known as far back as 1963 that at least the transmission that is used to pass this sample from the reflection or the utilization of sample radiation obtains infrared spectrum really.
In " use infrared spectroscopy, principle, technology and problem analysis are found the solution " book (A.Lee Smith,, 84~86 pages in 1979), point out that the reflected radiation of ATR spectrum can provide the absorption that is very similar to transmitted spectrum on 86 pages.
Need a kind of like this detection method, it is existing unusual that this method utilizes Infrared spectroscopy to check in the biological tissue of nature or ARTIFICIAL CULTURE or the cell, wherein this tissue or cell rotten quilt is at room temperature postponed till certain degree, so that it can not hinder the detection of abnormality or give the result who makes mistake.
