    Topical trans-dermal delivery of drugs has proven to be a promising route for treatment of many dermatological diseases. The aim of this study is to monitor and quantify the permeability rate of glucose solutions in rhesus monkey skin noninvasively in vivo as a primate model for drug diffusion. A time-domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system was used to image the diffusion of glucose in the skin of anesthetized monkeys for ... (Read Full Article)

    Abstract Alternations in vascular permeability for different molecules, drugs, and contrast agents might be a significant early marker of development of various diseases such as atherosclerosis. However, up to date experimental studies of molecular diffusion across vascular wall have been limited. Recently, we demonstrated that the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technique could be applied for noninvasive and nondestructive quantification of molecular diffusion in different biological tissues. However, the viability of ... (Read Full Article)

    Quantification of the diffusion of small molecules and large lipid transporting lipoproteins across arterial tissues could be useful in elucidating the mechanism(s) of atherosclerosis. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of diffusion of glucose and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in human carotid endarterectomy tissue in vitro. The permeability rate for glucose was calculated to be (3.51 ± 0.27) × 10-5 cm/s (n ... (Read Full Article)

    Explore Article ScienceDirect (Jun 17 2008)

    In this study, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was utilized in the functional imaging of glucose diffusion through scleral tissues. Permeability coefficients for different concentrations of glucose were quantified nondestructively. Obtained results indicate an inverse proportionality between the permeability coefficient and the concentration of the analyte in epithelial tissues: in-depth diffusion of solutions with lower glucose concentration was faster than those with a higher concentration. The permeability coefficient decreased from (1.67±0.17)×10−5 ... (Read Full Article)

    Several investigations suggest that the early stages of atherosclerosis are modulated by the selective permeability of the vascular tissue to pro-inflammatory molecules of different molecular weights. Up to date, a few experiments have been performed to study the permeability of arterial tissue to different molecules. This is primarily due to an absence of an experimental technique capable of depth-resolved, accurate and sensitive assessment of arterial permeability. In this paper, we ... (Read Full Article)
