Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of detecting the presence of anomalies in a preservative treated sample, prepared from fresh biological tissue or cells in natural or cultured form, by infrared spectroscopy.
- Benedetti et al While the process of Benedetti et al is useful, the cellular structure is completely destroyed by it, resulting in the loss of important information from which tissue or cell anomalies can be deduced. Furthermore, Benedetti et al make no provisions to preserve the lymphocyte cells against deterioration. These drawbacks severely restrict the uses to which the Benedetti et al process can be put. It has also been proposed in the United States Patent No. 5,038,039, dated August 6, 1991, P. T. T. Wong et al, to detect the presence of anomalies in biological tissue or cells in natural and cultured form by infrared spectroscopy.
- the method of P.T.T. Wong et al, 5,038,039, is particularly useful in detecting malignancy in human colon epithelial cells, colon tumor tissue and liver tumor tissue.
- sample thickness For examination by infrared spectroscopy in accordance with United States Patent No. 5,038,039, it is necessary for the sample thickness to be less than about 20 microns and examined after being thawed at room temperature.
- a method of detecting the presence of anomalies in a preservative treated sample, prepared from fresh biological tissue or cells in natural or cultured form, by infrared spectroscopy comprising: a) directing a beam of infrared light at the treated sample, and b) determining, by spectral analysis, at least one range of frequencies, whether variation in infrared absorption occurs in the treated sample, distinguishable from any variation therein resulting from the treatment, due to vibration of at least one functional group of molecules that are present in the treated sample and characteristic of an anomaly.
- the determination by spectral analysis may comprise comparing infrared spectra, obtained by directing the beam of infrared light at the treated sample, and spectral parameters derived therefrom, at the said at least one range of frequencies, with similar infrared spectra, and spectral parameters derived therefrom, from a similar sample, treated in the same manner, and known to have been prepared from fresh, normal, healthy tissue or cells.
- the determination by spectral analysis comprises, comparing infrared spectra obtained by directing the beam of infrared light at the treated sample, and spectral parameters derived from the spectra, at the said at least one range of frequencies, with similar infrared spectra, and spectral parameters derived therefrom, from at least one similar sample, treated in the same manner, and having a known anomaly.
- the determination by spectral analysis may be obtained from infrared radiation from the beam that has passed through the treated sample, at the said at least one range of frequencies.
- the determination by spectral analysis may be obtained from attenuated, totally reflected infrared radiation of the beam from the sample at the said at least one range of frequencies.
- the preservative treated sample may be a sample that has been treated with a preservative selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, alcohols, salines and inorganic salts.
- the formaldehyde may be an aqueous solution of formalin.
- the alcohol may be methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol or their mixture.
- the saline may be normal saline, phosphate buffered saline or a physiologically balanced salt solution consisting of calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and sodium citrate.
- the inorganic salt may be sodium nitrate, sodium chloride or potassium bromide.
- the said at least one range of frequencies may be at least one frequency in at least one range of frequencies within the ranges 500 cnr' to 900 cm"', 900 cm' 1 to 1500 cm" 1 * 900 cm" 1 to 1800 cm" 1 and 2000 cm" 1 to 6000 cm" 1 .
- fresh biological tissue or cells in natural or cultured form means biological tissue or cells newly obtained, cultured tissue or cells, or cells exfoliated from fresh biological tissues which are substantially free of degradation by exposure to room temperature.
- the infrared spectra, and the spectral parameters derived therefrom, from the sample be compared with the infrared spectra, and the spectral parameters derived therefrom, from a similar sample, treated in the same manner, and known to be either normal and healthy or to have a known anomaly.
- the biological tissue or cells may be obtained from various human or other mammalian organs or tissues.
- the said at least one change in infrared absorption characteristic may be a change in absorption intensity at a particular frequency region, a change of frequency at which a particular absorption occurs, or a different pressure applied to the functional group causing a change of frequency at which a particular absorption occurs.
- the functional group of molecules may be in at least one of the following molecules, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, tissue proteins, or membrane lipids.
- the functional group may be a phosphodiester group in nucleic acids, a C- OH group in tissue proteins and carbohydrates, a CH2 group in lipids, or CH3 groups in proteins, nucleic acids and lipids.
- the functional group may be at least one functional group selected from the groups consisting of CH2-OH group in . carbohydrates, phosphodiester groups in nucleic acids, C-OH groups of tissue proteins and carbohydrates, CH2 groups of lipids, and CH3 groups in proteins, nucleic acids and lipids.
- the spectra will be slightly different to those given in United States Patent No. 5, 168, 162, dated December 1, 1992.
- the specimens may be prepared from fresh a) microtome sections of tissue biopsy, b) punched or needle tissue biopsy, c) cultured cells, or d) exfoliated cells such as, for example, i) Papanicolaou smears, ii) cervical specimens, iii) endocervical specimens, iv) ectocervical specimens, v) vaginal specimens, vi) uterus specimens, or vii) bronchial specimens.
- the specimen When the specimen is tissue it may be liver tissue, and the anomaly an indication of malignancy in the liver tissue.
- the cells may be human ovarian epithelial cells.
- the tissue When the specimen is tissue, the tissue may be cervical tumor tissue and the anomaly an indication of malignancy in the tissue.
- the specimen When the specimen is exfoliated cells, the specimen may be obtained from scraping, brushing, washing, secretions, exudates or transudates from various organs and tissues.
- the anomaly may also indicate the presence of, for example, precancerous lesions, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other infectious or non-infectious diseases.
- Figure 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus for detecting the presence of anomalies in a preservative treated sample, prepared from fresh biological tissue or cells in natural or cultured form using infrared spectroscopy,
- Figure 2 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 2800 to 3020 cm" 1 obtained from a fresh, normal, healthy, liver tissue specimen that was not treated with a preservative and after keeping the specimen at room temperature and measured after the passage of various time periods,
- Figure 3 shows similar infrared spectra to that shown in Figure 2, but for normal healthy and malignant tissue not treated with a preservative
- Figure 4 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 900 to 1500 cm -1 obtained from an air dried specimen of fresh, exfoliated cervical cells which has been diagnosed as high grade dysplasia and was not treated with a preservative, and after keeping the specimen at room temperature for three days,
- Figure 5 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 900 to 1500 cm"l obtained from a preservative treated wet specimen of fresh, normal, healthy, exfoliated cervical cells and after the wet specimen was air dried at room temperature on a sample cell with a single infrared window,

- an infrared source 1 infrared beam focusing mirrors 2 and 3, a sample cell and holder 4, a Michelson interferometer 5, a infrared light detector 6, a computer 7, and a readout 8.
- the infrared source 1, infrared beam focusing mirrors 2 and 3, the holder of the sample cell and holder 4, Michelson interferometer 5, and infrared light detector 6 were components of a Nicolet Magna IR 550 Fourier- transform infrared spectrometer obtainable from Thermo Instruments (Canada) Inc., Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
- the sample cell of the sample cell and holder 4 for measuring the transmission infrared spectra had a single_infrared optical window on which the specimen was deposited or two infrared optical windows between which the specimen was placed.
- the sample cell of the sample cell and holder 4 for measuring ATR infrared spectra was a contact SamplerT ATR accessory (Spectra-Tech, Inc.) with a ZnSe crystal, obtained from Spectra-Tech, Inc., Stamford, Connecticut.
- a biological tissue or cell sample was placed in a transmission or ATR sample cell of the sample cell and holder 4, a beam of infrared light from the source 1, which had been condensed by the focusing mirror 2, was passed through the sample in the sample cell and holder 4 and was focused to the detector 6 through the Michelson interferometer 5 by the focusing mirror 3. Any infrared absorption by an anomaly in the specimen was detected by the Michelson interferometer 5 and the detector 6, which, in turn, was computed by the computer 7 to give a readout at the readout 8.
- the computer readout may be programmed for the readout 8 to directly indicate whether the sample is a normal healthy one or one which contains an anomaly, which may be, for example, benign, dysplasia, or malignant.
- infrared spectra were obtained using the apparatus described with reference to Figure 1 from samples of tissue biopsies, scraping tissue to obtain exfoliated cells and cultured cells.
- infrared spectra are shown that were obtained in the range 2800 to 3000 cm'l from a fresh, normal, healthy liver tissue specimen, and after keeping the specimen at room temperature for various periods of time.
- Figure 2 infrared spectra are shown that were obtained in the range 2800 to 3000 cm'l from a fresh, normal, healthy liver tissue specimen, and after keeping the specimen at room temperature for various periods of time.
- Figure 2 shows that there is a decrease in infrared spectral absorption, the magnitude of which depends upon the length of time that the sample is kept at room temperature.
- Figure 3 shows similar infrared spectra to that shown in Figure 2 but for normal healthy liver tissue, designated , and liver tissue found histologically to be malignant, designated , both of which were immediately subjected to the infrared spectral absorption examination after bowel resection and without preservative treatment according to the present invention.
- tissue anomalies will also be capable of misinterpretation in this manner with room temperature degraded, untreated, tissue or cells.
- Figure 4 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 900 to 1500 cm" obtained form an air dried specimen of fresh, exfoliated cervical cells which has been diagnosed as having high grade dysplasia and was not treated with a preservative.
- Figure 4 designates the infrared spectrum for an air dried, fresh, exfoliated cervical cells, and designates the infrared spectrum of the same sample after keeping it for three days at room temperature. It is evident from figure 4 that after the sample was keeping at room temperature for three days, the shape, frequencies and intensities of various absorption bands in the entire spectrum were changed dramatically.
- Figure 5 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 900 to 1500 cm"' obtained from a sample of preservative treated, fresh, normal, healthy, exfoliated cervical cells.
- the preservative treatment comprised immersing the sample in a physiologically balanced salt solution, removing excess solution in centrifuge, and then placing sample in the sample holder.
- Figure 5 designates the infrared spectrum for a wet sample of preservative treated, fresh, normal, healthy, exfoliated cervical cells, and designates the infrared spectrum of the same sample after it was air dried on an infrared optical window mounted on a sample cell. It is evident from Figure 5 that there is substantially no change in the infrared spectrum for the treated specimen after it was air dried at room temperature. Of particular interest is the fact that the infrared spectra for the treated specimen in both the wet and dry form are similar to that of untreated, normal healthy cells, see United States Patent No. 5, 168, 162, dated December 1, 1992, column 4, lines 45 to 57.
- Figure 6 shows that infrared spectra that were obtained in the frequency range 900 to 1800 cm ⁇ l from a preservative treated and dried specimen of fresh, normal, healthy, exfoliated cervical cells, and after keeping the dried specimen for three months.
- the preservative treatment comprised immersing the sample in a 1% by weight, aqueous solution of sodium chloride, removing excess solution in centrifuge, and then placing sample in the sample holder. The spectra were taken after the sample was air dried at room temperature. It is evident from Figure 6 that there is substantially no change in spectral absorption for the treated specimen over the period of three months at room temperature.
- Figure 7 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 900 to 1800 cm" obtained from a preservative treated specimen of fresh, exfoliated cervical cells diagnosed as having low grade dysplasia (CIN 1), and after keeping the specimen for three months at room temperature. The cells were treated in the same manner as those described with reference to Figure 6. It is evident from Figure 7 that there is substantially no change in the spectra for the treated specimen over the period of three months at room temperature.
- Figure 8 shows that infrared spectra that were obtained in the range 950 to 1500 cm"l from a preservative treated specimen of fresh, normal, healthy exfoliated cervical cells, and after keeping the specimen for 15 hours at room temperature.
- the preservative treatment comprised immersing the sample in a 10% by weight aqueous solution of formalin, removing excess solution in a centrifuge, and then placing the sample in the sample cell.
- Figure 9 designates the infrared absorption in the frequency range 950 to 1500 cm-* obtained from a preservative treated specimen of fresh, exfoliated cervical cells diagnosed as having moderate dysplasia (CIN II), and — designates the infrared absorption after keeping the specimen for one and half months at room temperature.
- the preservative treatment comprised placing the wet, fresh sample on the surface of a crystalline potassium bromide window mounted on a sample holder. The spectra were taken after the sample was air dried at room temperature. It is evident from Figure 9 that there is substantially no change in the spectra for the treated specimen over the period of one and half months at room temperature.
- Figure 10 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 950 to 1,500 cm" ' obtained from two samples of preservative treated, fresh, biopsy of cervical tissue, and designates treated, normal healthy tissue, and designates tissue that has been diagnosed in a conventional, histological manner as malignant.
- the samples were preservative treated by immersing the sample in phosphate buffered saline, removing excess saline, and then placing the wet sample in the sample holder.
- the most prominent absorption differences include the following findings in the malignant tissue:
- Figure 11 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 950 cm"' to 1500 cm"' obtained from two samples of preservative treated, fresh exfoliated cervical cell specimens from fresh scrapings, and designates normal healthy cells, and designates cells diagnosed as inflammatory.
- the cells were treated in the same manner as those described with reference to Figure 5 in the wet state.
- the most prominent absorption differences include the following findings in the inflammatory cells:
- Figure 12 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 900 to 1500 cm"' obtained from two samples of preservative treated, dried specimens of fresh, exfoliated cervical cells, designates normal healthy cells, and
- the most prominent absorption differences include changes in the intensity in the Candida infected cells at bands near 930 cm"', 1160 cm"' and 1240 cm"' and in the broadening of the strong band near 1025 cm"'.
- Figure 13 shows infrared spectra in the frequency range 950 to 1,500 cm"' obtained from two samples of preservative treated, fresh exfoliated cervical cells, designates normal healthy cells, and designates cells diagnosed as having dysplasia, CIN 1, HPV (human paparoma virus). The cells were preservative treated in the same manner as those described with reference to Figure 8.
- the most prominent absorption differences include changes in the intensity in the dysplasia, CIN 1, HPV cells at bands near 970 cm"', 1047 cm"', 1160 cm” 1 , 1240 cm”', 1400 cm”', and 1460 cm”'.
- Figure 14 designates the ATR infrared spectrum that were obtained in the frequency range 950 to 1500 cm"' from a preservative treated and dried specimen of cultured, malignant ovarian cells, and designates the infrared spectrum after keeping the dried specimen for 20 hours. The cell were treated in the same manner as those described with reference to Figure 5. It is evident from Figure 14 that there is substantially no change in spectral absorption for the treated specimen over the period of three days at room temperature, except for a slight change on the baseline of the spectrum, which has no effect on the detection of the presence of anomalies.
- preservatives may be used such as, for example, aqueous solutions of ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, ethyl ether, ethylene glycol or their mixtures, and it is also within the scope of the invention to use a preservative of other salines than phosphate buffered saline and physiologically balanced salt solution and of other inorganic salts than sodium chloride and potassium bromide.
- the preservative may be in aqueous solution or in solid state or of gaseous formaldehyde.
- Tissue or cell anomalies which may be detected according to the present invention include, for example, precancerous lesions, viruses, bacteria, fungi and other infectious and non-infectious diseases, where infrared absorption occurs in the sample, at at least one range of frequencies, due to the vibration of at least one functional group of molecules being present in a sample which is characteristic of that tissue or cell anomaly.
- This can be determined by routine tests and the functional group of molecules detected may, for example, be from cellular carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, or nucleic acids.
- Typical non-infectious diseases are cancer, diabetes, cirrhosis and arthritis.
- tissue or cells which may be neoplastic, in which the presence of abnormality, e.g., malignancy, can be detected, according to the present invention, and for which tests have been carried out, include colorectal tumors (for detecting colon carcinoma), liver tumors (for detecting hepatomas), skin cancer, brain cancer, ovarian cancer, stomach cancer, esophagus cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and other cancerous as well as neoplastic cells in blood.
