Abstract
The utilization of continuous wave (CW) near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device to measure non-invasively muscle oxygenation in healthy and disease states is limited by the uncertainties related to the differential path length factor (DPF). DPF value is required to quantify oxygenated and deoxygenated heme groups' concentration changes from measurement of optical densities by NIRS. An integrated approach that combines animal and computational models of oxygen transport and utilization was used to estimate the DPF value in situ. The canine model of muscle oxidative metabolism allowed measurement of both venous oxygen content and tissue oxygenation by CW NIRS under different oxygen delivery conditions. The experimental data obtained from the animal model were integrated in a computational model of O2 transport and utilization and combined with Beer-Lambert law to estimate DPF value in contracting skeletal muscle. A 2.1 value was found for DPF by fitting the mathematical model to the experimental data obtained in contracting muscle (T3) (Med.Sci.Sports.Exerc.48(10):2013-2020,2016). With the estimated value of DPF, model simulations well predicted the optical density measured by NIRS on the same animal model but with different blood flow, arterial oxygen contents and contraction rate (J.Appl.Physiol.108:1169-1176, 2010 and 112:9-19,2013) and demonstrated the robustness of the approach proposed in estimating DPF value. The approach used can overcome the semi-quantitative nature of the NIRS and estimate non-invasively DPF to obtain an accurate concentration change of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemo groups by CW NIRS measurements in contracting skeletal muscle under different oxygen delivery and contraction rate.

Abstract
Cy5.5-lectin, a non-toxic conjugate, combines the benefits of near-infrared (NIR) imaging, such as significant reduction of background fluorescence and increased tissue depth penetration, with its affinity for vascular endothelial cells. When compared to endothelial staining methods using FITC-lectin and ICAM2 antibodies, Cy5.5-lectin was confirmed to specifically bind endothelial cells and produce a fluorescence signal both in real-time and post-infusion. Ex-vivo experiments with isolated hearts demonstrated that binding was limited to perfused areas of the myocardium. With mouse in-vivo tail-vein injections, other organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidney were also stained and yielded similar quality images of the heart.

Abstract
We investigated the use of a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye, Rhodamine 800 (Rhod800, λ(exc) = 693 nm, λ(em) > 720 nm) as a flow-dependent molecular tracer for NIR spectroscopy and high-resolution cardiac imaging. Rhod800 accumulates in isolated mitochondria in proportion to the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ). However, in the intact myocardium, Rhod800 binding is ΔΨ-independent. Rat hearts were perfused in a Langendorff mode with Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing 45-nM Rhod800 at normal (100%), increased (150%), or reduced (50%) baseline coronary flow (CF) per gram, for 30 to 60 min. In a different group of hearts, the left anterior descending artery (LAD) was occluded prior to Rhod800 infusion to create a flow deficit area. Rhod800 deposition was analyzed by: 1. absorbance spectroscopy kinetics in the Rhod800-perfused hearts, 2. Rhod800 absorbance and fluorescence imaging in the short-axis heart slices, and 3. dynamic epicardial/subepicardial fluorescence imaging of Rhod800 in KCl-arrested hearts, with a spatial resolution of ∼ 200 μm. Rhod800 deposition was proportional to the perfusate volume (CF and perfusion time) and there was no Rhod800 loss during the washout period. In the LAD-ligated hearts, Rhod800 fluorescence was missing from the no-flow, LAD-dependent endocardial and epicardial/subepicardial area. We concluded that Rhod800 can be used as a deposition flow tracer for dynamic cardiac imaging.

Abstract
The first derivative of the pseudo-absorption spectrum of a water-loaded cotton wool (water-CW) phantom, which mimics muscle tissues, was used to determine the light path length in the near-infrared (NIR) region. The light path length increased as the density of the turbid medium decreased. It is independent of both water content in the range of 75-85% (by weight) and the diffuse reflecting reference used to determine the pseudo-absorbance. The path length determination procedure was verified by measurements of diffuse reflectance in chicken breast tissue for which the path length of 1.8 mm (differential path length factor, DPF = 2.1) was found to be similar to the path length of NIR light of 1.5-2.2 mm (DPF = 1.8-2.6) in a water-CW phantom of density similar to chicken breast. We conclude that the NIR light path length can serve as a characteristic of muscle tissue density.
