The contents include detailed information on the most relevant and up-to-date aspects of RCM, schematic drawings summarizing and explaining the most important RCM criteria, and a chapter specifically devoted to bridging the gap between dermoscopy, RCM, and histopathology. At the end of each chapter, core messages recapitulate the most pertinent aspects. Reflectance confocal microscopy for skin diseases will be a valuable resource for all physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic and inflammatory skin diseases."

"The enamel defects (EDs) may present with a variety of clinical manifestations with increasing severity from the sole appearance of pale discoloration to remarkable structural alterations. EDs are responsible for higher caries receptivity. In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) allows to image in vivo at microscopic resolution of the dental surface, thus avoiding the tooth extraction and the sample preparation because of its ability to optically scan living tissues along their depth. Aim of this study is the in vivo assessment at microscopic resolution of dental surfaces affected by EDs without resorting to invasive methods such as teeth extractions, to define histological findings occurring in chromatic and/or structural EDs. For the purpose, 15 children, referring at the Dental Clinic of the Second University of Naples, affected by several degrees of EDs, were enrolled and underwent in vivo RCM imaging to microscopically define the ED confocal features using a commercially available hand-held reflectance confocal microscope with neither injuries nor discomfort. Totally, 29 teeth were imaged. Results demonstrated images good in quality and the capability to detect EDs such as unevenness, grooves, and lack of mineralization according to their clinical degree of disarray. The present in vivo microscopic study on EDs allowed to highlight structural changes in dental enamel at microscopic resolution in real-time and in a non-invasive way, with no need for extraction or processing the samples. Further experiments could define the responsiveness to remineralizing procedures as therapeutic treatments."

"The aim is to establish the feasibility to image in vivo microscopic dental surface by non-invasive, real-time, en face Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM). Fifteen healthy volunteers referred at the Multidisciplinary Department of Medical-Surgical and Odontostomatological Specialties, Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy, were enrolled. A commercially available hand-held RCM (Vivascope®3000, Lucid, Rochester, NY, USA) was used to image in vivo the dental surface of the upper right and left central incisors of each volunteer. Totally, thirty vestibular surfaces of upper central incisors were imaged in vivo by RCM to preliminary image the dental surface and assess the feasibility of a more extended study on teeth. In vivo RCM was able to image the dental surface within the enamel, at a maximum depth imaging of 300 μm, with images good in quality and the capability to detect enamel structures such as enamel lamellae and enamel damages, such as unevenness and cracks. In conclusion, enamel “optical biopsy”, gained by RCM imaging, revealed to be a non-invasive real-time tool valid to obtain architectural details of the dental surface with no need for extraction or processing the samples. RCM appears to be an optimum auxiliary device for investigating the architectural pattern of superficial enamel, therefore inviting further experiments aimed to define our knowledge about damages after etching treatments or bracket removal and the responsiveness to fluoride seals and the morphology of the tooth/restoration interface. Moreover, this device could also be used to detect relevant diseases like caries, or to assess surface properties to evaluate lesion activity."

"Efisiensi penjerapan dari pembuatan etosom dengan metode cara dingin lebih kecil dari metode hidrasi lapis tipis. Oleh karena itu, perlu dipelajari lebih lanjut hal apa saja yang mempengaruhi efisiensi penjerapan.

The entrapment efficiency of ethosome produced by the cold method is lower than thin layer hydration method, therefore, we must know about entrapment efficiency factors . The method to formulation of rhodamine B ethosome using cold method and thin layer hydration, the suspension of ethosome is sonicated. Entrapment efficiency determined using spectrofotometry uv vis and characterization of ethosome determined by confocal laser scanner microscopy. The average of cold method entrapment efficiency 77,51923 4,991208065 and The average of thin layer hydration entrapment efficiency 83,38473 2,138725.

The quality of ethosome characterization by confocal laser scanner microscopy show that formulation of cold method and thin layer hydration vesicle size are 200 nm and vesicle morphology is spheric. This is show that the quality of cold method is as good as thin layer hydration method, although cold method of entrapment efficiency less than thin layer hydration method."

"Salah satu kajian penelitian penting dalam ranah penelitian plasmonik adalah penelitian tentang bahan yang dapat digunakan sebagai saklar pada perangkat plasmonik yang dapat dikontrol melalui mekanisme optik. Sejauh ini, beberapa penelitian telah dilakukan pada material isotropik dan disimpulkan bahwa material tersebut sebenarnya membutuhkan kerapatan daya switching yang sangat tinggi dan kemampuan switching optiknya yang sangat rendah. Baru-baru ini, studi eksperimental telah dilakukan pada bahan anisotropik SrNbO3:4 menggunakan mikroskop pump-probe dengan kerapatan daya yang sangat rendah dan ditemukan bahwa bahan ini menunjukkan penurunan reflektansi jika polarisasi medan listrik untuk mekanisme pompa berada di arah sumbu b kristal sementara Polarisasi medan listrik probe searah sumbu kristal. Menariknya lagi, kontras switching yang dihasilkan oleh material ini mencapai sekitar 90% yang dapat menjadi tanda bahwa material ini dapat digunakan sebagai plasmonic switch masa depan. Namun, penjelasan teoritis mengapa bahan ini memiliki kemampuan untuk mengubah kontras yang sangat baik belum tersedia. Dalam tesis ini, kami mencoba menjawab pertanyaan tersebut dengan menggunakan model sederhana untuk menjelaskan pengaruh bahan pada mikroskop probe pompa dan dengan menghitung prinsip utama kami menghitung nilai reflektansi sebagai fungsi waktu. Dengan memvariasikan interaksi yang diperhitungkan dalam perhitungan ini, kami menemukan bahwa ada peran penting interaksi lubang elektron dalam fenomena ini

One of the important research studies in the realm of plasmonic research is research on material that can be used as a switch in a plasmonic device that can controlled via an optical mechanism. So far, several studies have been conducted on isotropic material and it is concluded that the material actually requires very high switching power density and its optical switching capability so low. Recently, experimental studies have been carried out on anisotropic materials SrNbO3:4 uses a pump-probe microscope with a very low power density and it was found that this material showed a decrease in reflectance if the polarization the electric field for the pump mechanism is in the direction of the b axis of the temporary crystal The polarization of the electric field of the probe is in the direction of the a-axis of the crystal. Interestingly again, The switching contrast produced by this material reaches around 90% which can be a sign that this material can be used as a future plasmonic switch. However, the theoretical explanation of why this material has the ability to switch contrast very good ones are not yet available. In this thesis, we try to answer the question using a simple model to explain the effect of material in pump-probe microscopy and by calculating our main principles calculate the reflectance value as a function of time. By varying the interaction taken into account in this calculation, we find that there is an important role of electron-hole interactions in this phenomenon."

"Cedera pada Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) sering terjadi pada atlet yang berpartisipasi dalam olahraga intensitas tinggi. Namun, kerusakan ACL juga bisa terjadi pada masyarakat umum. Fatigue dijelaskan oleh perubahan protein struktural utama, heliks kolagen tipe 1. Hal ini merusak ligamen dan menyebabkan kelemahan pada jaringan. Delapan puluh persen kerusakan ACL dilaporkan sebagai kerusakan tanpa kontak langsung, yang bertentangan dengan gagasan bahwa kerusakan ACL terjadi dalam kasus kelebihan beban. Chen dkk. menunjukkan bahwa tanda-tanda fatigue seperti rongga struktural, kekuatan tarik yang lebih rendah dan perubahan komposisi kimia dari heliks kolagen normal menjadi untaian terdenaturasi (1740cm-1) dapat mengurangi integritas struktural ACL yang pada akhirnya menyebabkan kegagalan dini. Penelitian ini membutuhkan lebih banyak detail dalam tanda-tanda baru yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan ACL akibat fatigue. Proyek ini menganalisis topografi, komposisi kimia, mekanika jaringan seperti kekakuan, dan perubahan sinyal autofluoresensi menggunakan Atomic Force Microscopy Infrared Spectroscopy (AFM-IR) dan endoskopi konfokal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hubungan antara kekakuan dan kerusakan akibat kelelahan adalah semakin tinggi proporsi kolagen gangguan, semakin rendah frekuensi PLL dan semakin rendah kekakuan material. Efek kerusakan mekanis juga ditunjukkan pada salah satu fitur topografi, D-spacing. Peningkatan D-spacing dapat disebabkan oleh deformasi plastik fibril kolagen.

Injuries to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) are prevalent in athletes who participate in high-intensity sports. However, ACL damage can also occur in the general public. Fatigue is explained by changes in the major structural protein, the type 1 collagen helix. This destroys the ligaments and causes weakness. Eighty percent of ACL damage is reported to be non-contact damage, which contradicts the notion that failure occurs in the case of a single overload. Chen et al. showed that fatigue signatures such as structural voids, lower tensile strength and change in chemical composition from normal collagen helices to denatured strands (1740cm-1) could reduce the structural integrity of the ACL ultimately leading to early failure. However, the study needs more detail in these novel signatures of fatigue damage. This project analyses topography, chemical composition, tissue mechanics such as stiffness, and changes in autofluorescence signal using Atomic Force Microscopy Infrared Spectroscopy (AFM-IR) and confocal endoscopy. Other techniques can be explored for the future but are not the focus of this project. The results show that the relationship between stiffness and fatigue damage is that the higher the proportion of disorder collagen, the lower the PLL frequency and the lower the material's stiffness. The effect of mechanical damage is also shown on one of the most critical topographical features, D-spacing. The increase in D-spacing may be due to the plastic deformation of collagen fibrils."
