Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for diagnosing pathological changes of lipids in blood vessels using a nonlinear optical microscope, and more particularly, to image microlipids abnormally deposited on the inner wall of blood vessels without any labeling or destruction of blood vessels using a nonlinear optical microscope.
- the present invention relates to a system for diagnosing pathological changes of lipids in blood vessels using a non-linear optical microscope that can determine the progression of lipid-related diseases by diagnosing microscopic pathological changes of blood vessels by analyzing the components of the lipids imaged.
- Lipids are associated with the progression of atherosclerosis. Lipid retention in the early stages of atherosclerosis is thought to be a major initiation event. The specifics of the so-called “response-retention" hypothesis have not been elucidated, but they emphasize that atherosclerotic lipoproteins accumulate in the lining and induce atheroogenesis. According to this model, the infiltrated lipoproteins bind to extracellular matrix (ECM), especially proteoglycans, and these lipoprotein-proteoglycan complexes are composed of foamed cells containing secreted cytokines and lipids. Induces atherosclerosis such as recruitment of macrophages by differentiation.
- ECM extracellular matrix
- Lipid content plays a critical role in determining atherosclerotic lesion vulnerability at an advanced stage.
- the vulnerable lesions include soft gruel stages in the lipid-rich core instead of the collagen-rich core.
- Advanced atherostous cores include cholesterol (both free and esterified), phospholipids, triacylglycerols, and fatty acids.
- Cholesterol the main constituent, can exist in crystalline forms with various appearances, such as plate-like, needle-like, and sometimes helix-like. Unlike cell membrane cholesterol, the cholesterol crystal structure observed in advanced lesions is inactive as extracellular lipids.
- Virmani et al. Reported that ruptured lesions potentially exhibit lesion fragility, including cholesterol cleft or crystals in the center of the ganglia rather than erosion or stabilization of the lesion in the cut coronary artery.
- Atherosclerotic lesions were measured by assessing the narrowed arterial lumen rather than the morphological and chemical composition of the individual atherosclerotic lesions because there was no appropriate imaging modality.
- arterial sclerosis was diagnosed by systemic imaging by reading a filling filling (luminal filling defect) by administering an angiography agent, etc., but recently, heterogeneity of each lesion individual has been recognized, Imaging is very necessary.
- micropathological readings of blood vessel walls require staining resulting in tissue damage. Also, since only cross-sectional images can be obtained, reading in the state present in the tissue is very difficult. In addition, in any staining, it was impossible to analyze the components of each lipid on an image.

Recently, video rate CARS microscopy has been developed for imaging skin tissue in vivo.
