Introduction: The present work is a novel in vitro study that evaluated the possibility of diagnosing neoplastic from nonneoplastic gastric tissues using spark discharge assisted laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (SD-LIBS) method. Methods: In these experiments, the low energy laser pulses ablated a tiny amount of tissue surface leading to plasma formation. Then, a spark discharge was applied to plasma in order to intensify the plasma radiation. Light emission from plasma was recorded as spectra which were analyzed. Gastric tissues of 5 people were studied through this method. Results: The SD-LIBS technique had the potential to discriminate normal and cancerous tissues based on the significant differences in the intensities of some particular elements. The comparison of normalized calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) peaks of neoplastic and nonneoplastic gastric tissues could be viewed as a practical measure for tissue discrimination since Ca and Mg peaks in spectra of neoplastic were noticeably higher than nonneoplastic. Conclusion: Considering the identification of gastric cancer, the applied method in these experiments seems quite fast, noninvasive and cost-effective with respect to other conventional methods. The significant increment of specific Ca and Mg lines of neoplastic gastric tissues in comparison to the nonneoplastic ones can be considered as valuable information that might bring about tissue classification. The number of samples in this work, however, was not sufficient for a decisive conclusion and further researches is needed to generalize this idea.

Time integrated Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy was applied to the study of real samples of polychromes. Two samples respectively from the Spanish Baroque and from the XV century were analysed. The time integrated spectra showed negligible contribution of continuum background emission. The spectra of the Baroque sample indicated the presence of vermilion; this was confirmed by Near Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy. LIBS spectra of the XV century sample showed Ca, Al, Mg, Na and Pb lines and the molecular emissions CN(B-X) and C2(d-a). Relative spectral intensities were measured as a function of the number of laser pulses delivered on the same position of the sample. The LIBS analysis was compared to an exhaustive analytical study.
