A cell in homeostasis normally functions. There are two kinds of processes in the internal environment and external environment of a cell, the pathogenic processes (PP) which disrupts the old homeostasis (OH), and the sanogenetic processes (SP) which restores OH or establishes a new homeostasis (NH). Photobiomodualtion (PBM), the cell-specific effects of low intensity monochromatic light or low intensity laser irradiation (LIL) on biological systems, is a kind of modulation on PP or SP so that there is no PBM on a cell in homeostasis. There are two kinds of pathways mediating PBM, the membrane endogenetic chromophores mediating pathways which often act through reactive oxygen species, and membrane proteins mediating pathways which often enhance cellular SP so that it might be called cellular rehabilitation. The cellular rehabilitation of PBM will be discussed in this paper. It is concluded that PBM might modulate the disruption of cellular homeostasis induced by pathogenic factors such as toxin until OH has been restored or NH has been established, but can not change homeostatic processes from one to another one.","PeriodicalId":110373,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics and Imaging in Biology and Medicine","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126518383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The activation of sensorimotor cortex has been studied by several researchers since the first images of human brain were generated in 1995. However, high-quality images of sensorimotor cortex can not be obtained until the emerging of high-resolution DOT which uses a multi-centered geometry for arranging optical fibers. In this study, we did two experiments using our CW5 instrument (TechEn, USA). In the first experiment, the subject was asked to move his four fingers of right hand for 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of rest. Data collection lasted 420 seconds. In the second experiment, the subject was asked to tap his thumb against the other four fingers. Two conclusions can be reached from the experiments. Firstly, larger activated regions can be found on motor cortex in experiment 2 than in experiment 1. This indicates that high-resolution DOT can detect larger activated brain region when moving five fingers comparing to moving four fingers. Secondly, few activated regions can be found on sensory cortex in experiment 1, but it can be clearly found on sensory cortex in experiment 2. Up to our knowledge, it is the first time DOT has detected activated region on sensory cortex during motorial task.","PeriodicalId":110373,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics and Imaging in Biology and Medicine","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128977276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By detecting the content of the UCP on the test strip, the system figures out the concentration of the biological molecular of interest, which can be used in field examination of biological analytes. In this paper, a series concentration of standard samples have been tested by the biosensor, which is proved to have higher sensitivity (~ng/ml), higher stability (CV<3~5%), better linear relationship and an excellent correlation (R2≥0.95). The UPT-based biosensor has stable, reliable and sensitive performances.

The Gaussian shape of the excitation beam results in non-uniformity and asymmetry of the excitation foci array and also of the reconstructed fluorescence image. A coefficient matrix has been presented for the correction of the non-uniformity and asymmetry in the fluorescence image. Data acquisition and image processing methods have also been investigated to increase the image acquisition speed and improve the reconstruction of time- and spectrum-resolved fluorescence image.

The distribution of diffuse reflectance vs. emitting angle at different optical properties of inner layer is calculated. In addition, the influence of the changing absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient of the inner layer on the light diffuse reflectance from the surface is investigated and analyzed. The simulation results show that the diffuse reflectance light is sensitive greatly to micro-change of optical properties (absorption coefficient and scattering coefficient) of the inner layer which has small value of optical properties.
