Objective To develop a continuous arterial spin labeling (CASL) perfusion imaging method for cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurement in
rats with reduced spin-labeling length and optimized signal-to-noise ratio (SNR
f
) per unit time.
Materials and methods In the proposed method, the longitudinal magnetization of brain tissue water in the imaging slice is prepared into a proper
state before spin-labeling, and a post-tagging delay is employed after spin-labeling. The method was implemented on a 4.7 T
small animal scanner. Numerical simulations and in vivo experiments were used to evaluate the performance of the method proposed.
Results With the proposed method, absolute CBF could be measured accurately from normal rat with a spin-labeling pulse as short as
400 ms, and yet employing the same formula as that used in the conventional CASL perfusion imaging method for calculation.
The method also showed improved SNR
f
per unit time over the conventional CASL perfusion imaging method and the pulsed arterial spin labeling perfusion imaging
method FAIR.
Conclusion Compared to the conventional CASL perfusion imaging method, the proposed method would be advantageous for CBF measurement
in small animals having short vascular transit time in terms of SNR
f
per unit time and other benefits brought by shortened spin-labeling pulse. 相似文献

Inadequate blood supply relative to metabolic demand, a haemodynamic condition termed as misery perfusion, often occurs in
conjunction with acute ischaemic stroke. Misery perfusion results in adaptive changes in cerebral physiology including increased
cerebral blood volume (CBV) and oxygen extraction ratio (OER) to secure substrate supply for the brain. It has been suggested
that the presence of misery perfusion may be an indication of reversible ischaemia, thus detection of this condition may have
clinical impact in acute stroke imaging. The ability of single spin echo T2 to detect misery perfusion in the rat brain at 1.5 T owing to its sensitivity to blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD)
contrast was studied both theoretically and experimentally. Based on the known physiology of misery perfusion, tissue morphometry
and blood relaxation data, T2 behaviour in misery perfusion was simulated. The interpretation of these computations was experimentally assessed by quantifying
T2 in a rat model for cerebral misery perfusion. CBF was quantified with the H2 clearance method. A drop of CBF from 58 ± 8 to 17 ± 3 ml/100 g min in the parieto-frontal cortex caused shortening of T2. from 66.9 ± 0.4 to 64.6 ± 0.5 ms. Under these conditions, no change in diffusion MRI was detected. In contrast, the cortex
with CBF of 42 ± 7 ml/100 g min showed no change in T2. Computer simulations accurately predicted these T2, responses. The present study shows that the acute drop of CBF by 70% causes a negative BOLD that is readily detectable by
T2 MRI at 1.5 T. Thus BOLD may serve as an index of misery perfusion thus revealing viable tissue with increased OER. 相似文献

Volume-localized proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used as an assay of regional biochemistry in the isolated
perfused rat kidney. This model eliminated artifacts caused by respiratory and cardiac motion experiencedin vivo. Immersion of the kidney under its venous effluent reduced the susceptibility artifacts evoked by tissue-air interfaces.
The rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement imaging sequence was used for scout imaging. This gave excellent spatial
resolution of the cortex, outer medulla, and inner medulla. Spectra were then acquired in 10 minutes using the volume-selective
multipulse spectroscopy sequence from voxels with a volume of approximately 24 μL located within the cortical or medullary
regions. Spectral peaks were assigned by the addition of known compounds to the perfusion medium and by comparison with spectra
of protein-free extracts of cortex and medulla. The medullary region spectra were characterized by signals from the osmolytes
betaine, glycerophosphorylcholine, and inositol. The spectra from the cortex were more complex and contained lesser contributions
from osmolytes. 相似文献

Ischemia can cause release of adenosine and purine catabolites from the heart, through the breakdown of ATP. If repeated periods of ischemia are induced, the efflux of purines is markedly reduced, although it is not clear if this is beneficial for the long-term survival of the heart. We have investigated changes in high-energy phosphates and purine release in the isolated perfused rat heart using31P NMR spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography. Hearts were subjected to one of the following protocols: Group A—1 min of total global ischemia (TGI) after 40 min, 60 min, and 85 min of perfusion (a total of 3 × 1 min ischemia); Group B—1 min of TGI after 40 min of perfusion, 10 min of TGI after 50 min of perfusion, and a final 1 min of TGI after 85 min of perfusion. The profile of high-energy phosphate metabolites, Pi accumulation and purine release was similar for each 1-min period of TGI in Group A, whereas phosphocreatine content was increased and ATP content reduced by an extended period of TGI in Group B, leading to a less severe acidosis and purine efflux in the final 1 min of TGI at 85 min of perfusion. In conclusion, the reduced purine release observed in Group B may be related to the preischemic ATP pool size and accessibility and the increased myocardial energy reserve in the form of phosphocreatine. 相似文献

A 2D transmission line matrix model is used to study thermal transfer in living tissues exposed to laser energy. Damage size because of thermal coagulation in thermal treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia is determined quantitatively. Results show a quasilinear dependency of blood perfusion on temperature at the beginning of coagulation. Immediately thereafter, blood perfusion decreases considerably until it shuts down when the tissue under investigation has been coagulated. Increase in perfusion rate (ω) leads to high values of t100, which is the time required to reach a primary zone temperature of about 100 °C, and reflects the increased cooling created by perfusion. The transmission line matrix numerical model predicts the coagulation damage contours; that way, it has a clinical interest in therapy as an aid for clinicians because damage cannot be easily measured within patients. Results are validated through comparison with other researches. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Metal nanoparticles, silver and gold, of different sizes and shapes are actively being researched in a variety of different fields such as solar cells. The unique plasmonic properties of these particles, especially in the visible and NIR-region ranging from 400-1200 nm, are the basis for most of these applications. The absorption spectra are calculated using the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) in the wavelength region of 300 to 1200 nm. The modeled samples for calculating are planar array nanoparticles, basically two particles and more than two particles. The influences of the nanoparticle size, interparticle distance and polarization direction of excited light on the absorption spectra are investigated. Moreover, the optical absorption can be tuned by adjusting sizes and shape of nanoparticles to obtain the enhanced absorption. The influence of the surrounding medium is also presented. 相似文献

One task of the integration of optoelectronic functions with silicon devices is the construction of an optical waveguide on Si and the optical coupling of this waveguide to a silicon photodetector. We have fabricated polymeric strip waveguides on Si and demonstrate a very efficient design for the optical coupling between the polymeric waveguide and an ultrafast Si-based metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) mesa-type photodetector. This detector uses high-quality epitaxial Si as the sensitive layer, which is sandwiched between two metallic contacts. If these MSM detectors are excited by a vertically incident free beam of λ=840 nm and pulses of 100-fs full-width at half-maximum (FWHM), they respond with electrical pulses of 3, 5-ps length (FWHM, T=300 K) 相似文献

聚合物纳米复合介质的击穿强度与纳米填充颗粒的质量分数、粒径和表面处理密切相关。以不同表面处理的纳米SiO2颗粒为填料,制备了不同填充质量分数、粒径的纳米SiO2/低密度聚乙烯(low density polyethylene,LDPE)复合介质,测试了其在交流、直流正极性和直流负极性3种不同类型电场下的击穿场强。结果表明:在所研究范围内,填充纳米SiO2颗粒可以提高低密度聚乙烯的击穿场强,并且随着填充质量分数的增加,复合介质的击穿场强有升高的趋势。纳米颗粒填充质量分数相同时,在12~16 nm粒径下,复合介质的击穿场强有随纳米SiO2粒径的升高而降低的趋势;在7 nm小粒径下,可能由于纳米颗粒容易团聚,导致击穿场强较粒径大时要低。另外,纳米SiO2颗粒表面经疏水性处理后,能够有效提高复合介质的击穿场强。 相似文献

AbstractThe optical and magneto-optical (MO) properties of composites containing magnetic nanoparticles were experimentally as well as theoretically found to be dependent on the interparticle spacing, surrounding medium and particle size of the constituent nanoparticles. In this work, the optical and MO properties of composites consisting of two nickel (Ni) nanoparticles (NP) and embedded in polymethyl methacrylate were theoretically investigated in the wavelength range of 400–900?nm using the discrete dipole approximation method, which accounts for optical coupling between Ni NPs. The theoretical calculations suggest that the shifts in spectral peak position depend on both interparticle distance and particle size corresponding to the experimental results. In addition, the observed optical spectra of Ni NPs showed the plasmon resonance in the visible light range in the electromagnetic wave. The basic results of this study might be used for fabricating optical and MO devices. 相似文献

A method of determining arterial input function (AIF) by continuously detecting the 17O MR signal changes of 17O-labeled water tracer in the rat carotid artery using a region-defined (REDE) implanted vascular RF coil at 9.4 Tesla is
reported. This coil has a compact physical size of 1 mm inner diameter, 3 mm outer diameter and 11 mm in length. It can be
readily implanted into the rat neck and wrapped around the rat carotid artery for achieving adequate MR detection sensitivity
for determining AIF with minimal surgical trauma. Water phantom and in vivo MR experiments were conducted for validating the
coil's performance. A signal-to-noise ratio of ~20:1 was achieved for the 17O signal acquired from naturally abundant H2
17O in a small amount of blood (~7 μl) inside the rat carotid artery with an acquisition time of 11 s. The REDE RF coil design
electromagnetically isolates the rat carotid artery from surrounding tissues and ensures that the MR signal detected by the
RF coil is only attributable to the artery blood. It also minimizes the electromagnetic coupling between the implanted RF
coil and a head surface coil tuned at the same operating frequency (two-coil configuration). This configuration allowed simultaneous
measurements of dynamic changes of 17O MR signal of the H2
17O tracer in both rat carotid artery and brain. Compared to most contemporary MR approaches, the REDE implanted RF provides
a simple, accurate, and promising solution for determination of AIF in small experimental animals. 相似文献

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) produces cross-sectional images of the electrical resistivity distribution within the body, made from voltage or current measurements through electrodes attached around the body. The authors describe a gated EIT system to image the cardiogenic electrical resistivity variations and the results of in vivo studies on human subjects. It is shown that the sensitivity of EIT to tissue resistivity variations due to blood perfusion is good enough to image blood flow to the lungs; hence, abnormalities in pulmonary perfusion, such as pulmonary embolism, should appear in EIT images. In addition, more valuable information related to the cardiac activity can be gained from EIT images than from impedance cardiography. It is thus likely that a cardiac output index may be calculable from the average resistivity variations over the ventricles, but considerable research is required before the images can be understood in detail. 相似文献

Clinical assessment of myocardial viability using MRI during a constant infusion of Gd-DTPA 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study assessed the accuracy and feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during a constant infusion of gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) for the determination of myocardial viability in patients with recent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Nine patients were studied within 10 days of AMI. Rest-redistribution 201Thallium (201Tl) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was used as a gold standard for viability. Using MRI, regional perfusion was assessed using dynamic imaging during a bolus injection of Gd-DTPA and viability was assessed during a continuous infusion. Finally, cine MR images were acquired at baseline, during low-dose dobutamine infusion and after recovery. To assess viability, the left ventricle was divided into 16 segments and signal intensity in corresponding MRI and redistribution SPECT segments were compared. Wall thickening index (WTI) was determined at each step during the dobutamine study. The results revealed that in five patients, reduced perfusion in infarcted regions was observed qualitatively during dynamic first pass imaging. There was a significant inverse correlation between 201Tl uptake and MRI signal intensity, i.e. infarcted tissue (low 201Tl uptake) had increased MR signal intensity. Segments were separated into normal (201Tl uptake > 90%) and infarcted (< 601%). lnfarcted MRI segments had greater signal intensity than normal segments (179 +/- 50 vs. 102 +/- 14%; P < 0.0001). WTI in normal segments increased by 18 +/- 8.5% (P < 0.0001) from baseline to 10 microg/kg per min of dobutamine while infarcted tissue WTI decreased 2.8 +/- 7.2% (P = 0.17). Thus regions of myocardium that were infarcted as defined by reduced 201Tl uptake and absent contractile reserve showed greatly increased MRI signal intensity during a constant infusion of Gd-DTPA. The use of MRI during a constant infusion of Gd-DTPA is accurate and feasible for the determination of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting. 相似文献

In this paper, an observer‐based fault detection (FD) method is presented for a class of nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) with Markov transfer delays. Firstly, based on Euler approximate method, a nonlinear NCS model with uncertainty is proposed using the Takagi‐Sugeno (T‐S) fuzzy model. Some geometric conditions are given to transfer the NCS model into an output‐feedback form. Then, the H∞ FD observer is designed such that the estimation error (residual) converges to zero, if there exist no fault and uncertainty in the system, or the residual is minimized in the sense of H∞ norm, when system contains fault and uncertainties. Furthermore, to simplify the model, the approximate model without uncertainty is considered. Then, sufficient conditions for the existence of FD observer gain and the sampling time of NCSs are given to achieve the semiglobal practical property. An inverted pendulum example is used to illustrate the efficiency of the developed techniques. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

粒径70nm的MgO以不同浓度与交联聚乙烯(XLPE)共混制成聚合物纳米复合介质。采用自主研发的四电极系统同时测量复合介质的高场电导特性和空间电荷分布。通过强场电导实验发现,在室温下,XLPE及纳米MgO/XLPE复合介质的电导机理不是单纯的空间电荷限制电流(SCLC)。此外,添加纳米MgO可以明显地提高空间电荷的注入阈值,并且在低于空间电荷注入阈值的电场下,复合介质的电导电流密度随纳米MgO浓度的增加,先减小后增大。最后从空间电荷的实验数据验证了纳米MgO能有效抑制XLPE中空间电荷,并进一步定性地认为纳米Mgo的添加提高了电子注入的电场强度阈值。 相似文献
