Team Abstracts from the YUPER Meeting in Paris : The properties of UPE

s from the YUPER Meeting in Paris: The properties of UPE Marek Rác, Ankush Prasad, Anshu Rastogi, Pavel Pospíšil Despite the fact that the phenomenon of UPE is known for almost a century, the mechanisms behind the emission are still not fully understood. Measurements on U937 cells, clamydomonas and chemical systems prove the emission from both lipids and proteins. Emission was measured from systems containing both lipids and proteins and also from isolated systems. The spectral analysis of UPE reveals the maximum emission in the region of 600‐700nm, which is the region of excited triplet carbonyls emission, chlorophyll emission and singlet oxygen dimol emission. The kinetics of UPE suggests that reactions with different rates are responsible for the UPE. The deep understanding of the origin of UPE can results in a very powerful analytic method. Combining ultra‐weak photon emission with biochemical parameters having a direct link to REDOX processes in a collagen induced arthritis animal model. Eduard van Wijk, Masaki Kobayashi, Masutaka Kumasaka2, Thomas Hankemeier, Jan van der Greef, Roeland van Wijk This research is based on the notion that there is convincing evidence for a role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases including Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). It has stimulated the utilization of a non‐invasive technique in human research based on spontaneous ultra‐weak photon emission (UPE). UPE can be used as an effective biological marker of ROS inhibition and/or promotion of healing. Moreover recent developments in Metabolomics enable the measurement of biological molecules with a direct link to oxidation /reduction processes by using electrochemical detection. This so‐ called coularray technology enables the profiling of body fluids of biochemical components of this class. To combine both measurement techniques, arthritis is induced in mice by a combined injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) together with the joint cartilage component type II collagen. This injection of CII and LPS was continued every 2 weeks up to day 56. Publications of interest: Statistical Analysis of Unexpected Daily Variations in an Electrochemical Transmutation Experiment.
