Development of surgical confocal scanning microscope for intra-operative imaging of brain tumors using near infrared fluorescence: technical note.

abstract：:In this study, we examined the degree of disruption of blood-brain barrier (BBB) in irradiated rat brains using P-glycoprotein, one of the functional molecules of BBB, as a marker. In the animal experiments, disruption of BBB has been mainly studied at the acute stage of brain edema caused by a lethal dose of irradiat...
