主　　题：In PDT Contributions from Flash Photolysis and Pulse Radiolysis Excited States and Free Radicals in Biology and Medicine 

摘      要：Excited states and free radicals are involved in the normal physiology of living systems; in pathological processes including lipid peroxidation, inflammation, Parkinson s disease, cancer, and ageing; in the mechanism of action of drugs, such as quinone antitumour agents, and in photochemotherapies such as the PUVA therapy of skin diseases and PDT of cancer. The chief aim of this text is to introduce the reader to this rapidly expanding field, which lies at the borderlines of physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacology, and medicine, and, in particular, to explore how time—resolved spectroscopic methods have found solutions at the molecular level to biological and medical problems.
