The rapid scanning optical delay line (RSOD) has developed basically for depth scanning and dispersion compensation. If the pivot center of the galvamirror in RSOD is offset, phase modulation can be realized, providing a high carrier frequency required for heterodyne detection. However, the size of galvamirror should be increased, leading to lower response for its oscillation and hence a low scanning rate. In this paper we propose to apply a sinusoidal waveform (resonant scan) instead of a triangle waveform (linear scan) to the galvamirror. Numerical analysis on phase modulation by RSOD and successive envelop demodulation under different driving waveform is conducted. We demonstrate that it is possible to improve OCT frame rate by resonant scan without compromising the signal-to-noise performance if complete and accurate envelope demodulation and appropriate signal processing are adopted.","PeriodicalId":110373,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics and Imaging in Biology and Medicine","volume":"11 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":"124885924","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}

This characteristic depends on the setup parameters and the properties of the studied object. The definition of the maximal depth of non-distorted imaging based on the classifications of photons contributing to the signal in dependence on the relations of their optical travel pathlength in the object and maximal reached depth was used in this work. We studied the effect of the coherence length and the detection angle on the formation of OCT signals and images from model biotissues as well as on the maximal depth of non-distorted imaging. The signals and images were obtained by implementing the Monte Carlo technique developed in our earlier works. The following single- and multilayer biotissue phantoms were considered as the studied objects: erythrocyte suspension at physiological hematocrit (35%), 2% intralipid solution reported to have optical properties close to those of skin in optical and NIR range, and multilayer human skin phantoms. For the simulations, the parameters of the OCT setup were chosen in accordance with real ones. The wavelengths of the light sources were chosen 820 and 910 nm. The conducted simulations show that a decrease in the detection angle and an increase in the coherence length increase the maximal probing depth in the studied objects due to smaller role of multiple scattering photons in the formation of the OCT signals. The obtained value of maximal depth of non-distorted imaging varies in the range from 50 to 600 μm depending on the values of the setup parameters.","PeriodicalId":110373,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics and Imaging in Biology and Medicine","volume":"7 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":"114542325","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}

To find an effective method of prevention of osteoclasia, this in vitro study focuses on the expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 in the SW1353 cells by LED irradiation. The human chondrosarcoma cell line SW1353 were stimulated with the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1beta or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and were received the irradiation of LED (632nm, 4mW/cm2). The cell count was assessed over a 96-hour period by using Trypan blue dye exclusion assay, and the cell activity was evaluated with a Cell Counting Kit-8 Assays. The subsequent expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 was quantified. Results of this experiment showed that the cultural cell activity was decreased, and the expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 was increased by being stimulated with IL-1beta or TNF-alpha. After received LED irradiation, the death rate of cultural cell was increased and the expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 was decreased significantly. The present study concluded that particular LED irradiation stimulates SW1353 cell proliferation activity and inhibit the MMP-3 and MMP-13 enzymatic activity. These findings might be clinically relevant, indicating that the low power laser irradiation treatment is likely to achieve the repair of articular cartilage in clinic.","PeriodicalId":110373,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics and Imaging in Biology and Medicine","volume":"38 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":"133287409","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}

Cerebrovascular reserve capacity (CVRC) describes how far cerebral perfusion can increase from a baseline value after stimulation. High blood pressure is the most important independent risk factor for stroke and other vascular diseases. The incidence of stroke in the hypertensive is six times higher than in the patient with normal blood pressure. CVRC in the hypertensive was even lower than in control patients. MR perfusion weighted imaging (MR PWI) with the well-established acetazolamide (ACZ) stimulation test has been used for assessing brain function. The aim of this work is to assess the cerebrovascular reserve capacity by MR PWI with \"ACZ\" tolerance test in spontaneous hypertensive rat (SHR) and to identify its value in evaluating the CVRC. Experimental animal including 3 groups: Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) (12-week-old) as control group, SHR (12-week-old and 20-week-old) as experimental group. MR PWI was performed respectively before and after acetazolamide administrated orally in 3 groups on a clinical 1.5 Tesla GE Signa MR fx/i whole-body MR system. The ROI was chosen in the bilateral frontal lobe to measure the value of rCBV, rCBF and MTT. The results showed that before ACZ-test, there was statistic differences between the WKY and SHR(12-week-old), and between SHR(12-week-old) and SHR(20-week-old) in the values of rCBV and rCBF (P>0.05), and after ACZ-test, there were statistic differences between WKY and SHR (20-week-old), and between SHR(12-week-old) and SHR(20-week-old) in the rCBV value (P<0.05). It is concluded that the method of MRI PWI combined with the \"ACZ stress test\" can provide more qualitative and half-quantitative information on the cerebral perfusion to evaluate the CVRC in SHR.","PeriodicalId":110373,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics and Imaging in Biology and Medicine","volume":"17 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":"115274633","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}

To observe the dynamic process of how the photosensitizer (CPD) enters the tumor cell and intracellular distribution of CPD in tumor cells, we used confocal laser scan microscopy(CLSM) under one-photon excitation induced by a 488nm Ar+ laser.
