| Abstract | Infrared spectra were obtained from exfoliated cervical cells from 156 females, of whom 136 were normal, 12 had cervical cancer, and 8 had dysplasia. The spectra of the normal women, essentially identical, differed from those obtained from patients with either cancer or dysplasia. In malignant samples we noted (i) significant changes in the intensity of the glycogen bands at 1025 cm-1 and 1047 cm-1, the bands at 1082 cm-1 and 1244 cm-1, the C--O stretching band at 1155 cm-1, and the band at 1303 cm-1, (ii) significant shifts of the peaks normally appearing at 1082 cm-1, 1155 cm-1, and 1244 cm-1, and (iii) an additional band at 970 cm-1. Further study of several of these bands, including the pressure dependence of their frequencies, revealed that in the malignant cervical tissue there were extensive changes in the degree of hydrogen bonding of phosphodiester groups of nucleic acids and C--OH groups of proteins, as well as changes in the degree of disorder of methylene chains of lipids. The IR spectra of samples with dysplasia demonstrated the same changes with cancer samples, except that the changes were of lesser magnitude and the phosphodiester peak normally appearing at 1082 cm-1 did not shift. These spectroscopic changes appear to progress in tandem with the morphological changes that lead normal cervical epithelium to cancer through the premalignant stage of dysplasia. The diagnostic potential of IR spectroscopy is discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
