Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We were involved in research and development on ultra thin endoscope, fluorescence, and ultrasound function required for next-generation endoscopes. First of all, we used ultra thin fiber scope made by OK fiber technology and the scanning fiber endoscope, and preliminary experiments on intra-airway observation and photodynamic therapy in mice were performed, and the results were presented. In terms of fluorescence, multiple photosensitizers called ALA, OTL38, Porphysome, and PLP are used to verify whether tumor site identification, photodynamic therapy, and regional lymph node identification are possible with an endoscope, and the results were reported. Regarding ultrasound endoscopy, we have developed and presented a new treatment procedure for pulmonary embolism by Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy.
