The boy presented also conjunctival injection, photophobia, lacrimation and conjunctivitis. Blood tyrosine levels were increased in both patients, 150.6 and 202.3 µmol/dl, respectively (reference value: 5.8±2.2 µmol/dl). After 1 month of dietary treatment with low protein, low phenylalanine and tyrosine, tyrosine levels decreased to 37.7 and 65.6 µmol/dl, respectively; the cutaneous lesions improved in both of them, and conjunctivitis disappeared. Conclusion: the association of bilateral ulcero-conjunctivitis with photophobia and palmo-plantar hyperkeratosis since early infancy is the clue to the diagnosis of tyrosinaemia type 2.

SERS spectra from healthy brain tissue and tumors are obtained by sudden freezing of tissue in liquid nitrogen and crashing and mixing it with a concentrated silver colloidal suspension. The acquired spectra from tissues show significant spectral differences that can be used to identify whether it is from a healthy region or tumor. The most significant change on SERS spectra from the healthy/ peripheral brain tissue to tumor is the increase of the ratio of the peaks at around 723 to 655 cm À1 . In addition, the spectral changes indicate that the protein content in tumors increases compared to the peripheral/healthy tissue as observed with tumor invasion. The preliminary results show that SERS spectra can be used for a quick diagnosis due to the simplicity of the sample preparation and the speed of the spectral acquisition.

In this study, tissues obtained from different rat organs are examined using SERS. The tissue samples are crushed with a pestle after sudden freezing in liquid nitrogen and mixed with a concentrated colloidal silver nanoparticle suspension. The reproducibility of SERS spectra acquired from several tissue samples from different organs is demonstrated. The collected spectra are comparatively evaluated based on the physiological function of the organ from which the tissue is obtained. The spectra from the tissues show significant differences and indicate that they can be used for tissue characterization and differentiation. The identification of the origins of the bands on the spectra is also attempted. This study suggests that SERS can be used to monitor the changes at the molecular level during metabolic changes in an organ or tissue as a result of a disease or another cause.
