Space Medicine & Medical Engineering 2006;0(04):-
Objective To design and establish a set of diffusion optical tomography(DOT) system.Methods Near-infrared(NIR) laser was employed as the light source and only one photomultiplier tube(PMT) as the detector.An optical multiplexer was used to alter the detector channels.The 32 channels of the system,which are consisted of 16 launch channels and 16 detector channels,worked under the continuous-wave(CW) model and were used to acquire 256 boundary data.Results Experiments were performed based on the proposed imaging system.The intralipid was used as the tissue-like medium and the India ink as the absorber.Two sets of data on the boundary were sampled,respectively,before and after the absorber was embedded inside the tissue-like medium.The two sets of data were normalized and then used to reconstruct the absorption coefficient distribution.The recovered image reflected the real location and size of the absorber.Conclusion The proposed imaging platform can image the tissue optical parameters effectively.However the resolution of the reconstructed image was not high because the inverse problem was gravely underdetermined and the noise was not considered in the reconstruction algorithm.The recovered result in the next generation system could be improved by making more use of prior information and enhancing the performance of the system.

Objective To explore relationships of expression of hypoxia?inducible factor?1α(HIF?1α), vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and protein kinase B(P?Akt)with angiopoiesis and cell apoptosis. Methods Biopsy specimens were collected from skin lesions of 32 patients with lichen planus and normal skin of 20 patients with lipomyoma, and subjected to paraffin embedding. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to measure expression of HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt, and TUNEL technique was used to detect apoptosis of keratinocytes in these paraffin?embedded tissue sections. Microvessel density (MVD)was assessed by counting CD34?labeled vascular endothelial cells. Results HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt were moderately or strongly expressed in lichen planus lesions, but absent or weakly expressed in normal skin of controls, and the expression of HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt was significantly higher in the lichen planus group than in the control group (all P < 0.01). HIF?1α was mainly expressed in nuclei of keratinocytes, while VEGF and P?Akt were expressed in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes. In addition, the lichen planus group showed significantly increased MVD(21.27 ± 6.54 vs. 10.26 ± 1.10 microvessels/high?power(200 ×)field, t = 5.607, P < 0.01)and apoptosis rate of keratinocytes(72.81% ± 9.234% vs. 28.16% ± 3.464%, t = 8.431, P < 0.01) compared with the control group. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlations between HIF?1αand VEGF expression, between VEGF and P?Akt expression, and between P?Akt and HIF?1αexpression in the lichen planus group(r=0.625, 0.453, 0.455, respectively, all P<0.01), and expression of HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt was all positively correlated with MVD(r=0.721, 0.646, 0.671, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusion HIF?1αand its downstream target genes VEGF and P?Akt may play a certain role in the occurrence of lichen planus.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of sorafenib alone or combination with transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)and percutaneous local cryotherapy(PLCT)for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients without operation opportunity. Methods Sixty-four advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients were selected as our subjects,who were underwent treatment of sorafenib alone or combination with TACE and PLCT. Thirty-two cases with sorafenib therapy were served as sorafenib group and another 32 cases with sorafenib in combination with transarterial chemoembolization and PLCT were served as combination group. All patients were followed up for 6 - 32 months. The treatment efficacy and tumor development were recorded. Results All surgeries of the patients were succeed and no death or serious operation complications occurred. Of 64 patients, 11 were achieved a complete remission( CR),31 cases with partial remission( PR),14 cases with stable development(SD),and 8 cases with progressive disease(PD). In the sorafenib group,3 cases were with CR,11 patients with PR,12 with SD,and 6 patients with PD. In the combination group,8 patients were with CR,20 patients with PR,2 patients with SD and 2 patients with PD,and the difference was significant between the two groups(χ2 = 14. 028,P = 0. 003). The median periods to tumor progression were 20 and 53 weeks in the sorafenib group and the combination group,and the difference was significant( χ2 = 14. 773,P = 0. 000). Conclusion For hepatocellular carcinoma patients without operation opportunity,sorafenib combined with TACE and PLCT can increase the tumor remission rate and prolong the periods to tumor progression in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

[Objective] To study the role of scaffold internal three dimensional structure of on vascularization of ?-TCP biomaterials in vivo.[Method]Twenty four adult rabbits were selected for operation.Two different three-dimensional structure ?-TCP biomaterials(wafer ?-TCP,the pore diameter was from 400 ?m to 500 ?m,the pore inter-connection diameter was 120 ?m;granulation ?-TCP,the particle diameter was from 100 ?m to 200 ?m)were implanted separately into fascia lumbodorsalis of every rabbit.The specimens were harvested in 1,2,4,8 weeks after surgery for histology,scanning electronic microscope(SEM)and SPECT studies in order to observe the vascularization of two different structure ?-TCP biomaterials in vivo.[Result]The biocompatibility of two different ?-TCP biomaterials was favourable.Only a few of immature blood capillaries were detected in some peripheral pores of two different biomaterials in one week after surgery.In four weeks of implantation,the result of histology indicated that the wafer artificial bone had vascularized completely.The number and lumens of blood vessel had increased.The peripheral blood vessel had been mature,showing vascularization crest-time.In eight weeks after sugery,there was no more increase of the number of blood vessel,while the lumens of blood vessel had increased.The mature capillaries were observed by chance.To compare with the wafer artificial bone,the vas cularization rate of the granulation artificial bone biomaterials was slower,and the number of blood vessel was less.On the other hand,the smaller lumens diameter and the infant structure existed in most of blood capillaries.Many blood vessels were not mature in four weeks,the vascular occlusion in some pores was detected.[Conclusion]The pore interconnection pathway in scaffolds is a key factor for vascularization.In other words,the higher density of pore interconnection pathway can induct more complete vascularization in scaffolds,and the diameter can restrict the lumens of blood vessel diameter.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a new one-piece PHEMA keratoprosthesis(Kpros) implanted in alkali burned rabbit corneas. Methods The experiment included two parts. In part one, the porous discs of PHEMA were inserted into the lamellar pockets of alkali-burned corneas and the results were observed clinically and histologically at various periods. In part two, seven one-piece Kpros were implanted into alkali burned rabbit corneas. The Kpros consisted of a central transparent optical area and a porous semi-transparent peripheral skirt. The surgical procedure was similar to that of penetrating keratoplasty. Clinical observations were carried out till 28 weeks. Results Both the porous discs and one-piece Kpros had been retained during the experiment. Severe complications as cataract, retro corneal membrane, retinal detachment and extrusion of material were not found until 28 weeks. There was no calcification in the samples, and inflammation was mild. Two weeks after implantation, fibroblasts and deposition of collagen were found in the pores of PHEMA discs. The fibroblasts in the pores look healthy and functionally active. The preliminary results were satisfactory. Conclusion This new one-piece Kpros had shown good biocompatibility. The porous peripheral skirt fuses well with the bed of burned cornea and proved to be stable. PHEMA materials is suitable for one-piece Kpros.
