“…The inflammatory character of zones close to adipose cells, was argued from the dOH/AI ratio by performing the second derivative procedure on bands at 1655 cm À1 (AI) and 1640 cm À1 (bending OH from water). 7,8,21 An appreciable amount cholesterol esters (bands at 3007 and 3038 cm À1 ) was also found.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] To date, our contribution to the relatively abundant number of papers which have appeared on the topic during the last five years, concerns studies on carotid plaque characterisation and FT-IR imaging studies on carotid plaques and pathological thyroid tissues. [7][8][9] Oral carcinomas account for about 5% of head and neck tumours. The prevalence of tumours of the head and neck (HN) region is rapidly increasing and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) represents the most frequent malignant tumour of the oral cavity.…”

Micro Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy enables one to study small samples because of the high quality spectra that can be obtained. Biochemical and morphological changes between control and pathological tissues of head and neck tumours have been monitored drawing three-dimensional chemical maps of the main vibrational modes in the regions of interest. Comparison between spectral and histological data shows a satisfactory degree of accordance. Among all, proliferating and regressive states of the tumours can be identified.

“…By taking into consideration our previous studies on the argument, we have undertaken a micro-FTIR imaging study on plaques with different calcification grading, to further characterize the components of atheromatous plaques and with the aim to localize cytotoxic components to better understand their role in the 'death' zone of the atheromatous plaque [17][18][19].…”
