Our construct consists of a magnetic core with a thermosensitive polymer (N-isopropylacrylamide, NIPA) shell. The advantage of this system is that a magnetic field can be used for targeting the construct as well as to induce heat for hyperthermia treatment. Furthermore, the drug can be loaded into the NIPA layer and released when the temperature reaches its lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Drug release studies were used to characterize the thermoresponsive properties of the construct. Cellular uptake and cytotoxicity studies were also performed to determine in vitro behavior. Our NIPA-magnetic nanoparticle presents a unique and effective method of treating many cancers while reducing the deleterious effects associated with traditional drug delivery methods.","PeriodicalId":333843,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Dallas Engineering in Medicine and Biology Workshop","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115053419","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 absolute contrast of the grating was modulated sinusoidally, across a range of frequencies relevant to block and event-related designs. The amplitude of the neural response was found to track the stimulus closely, with some interesting differences at higher frequencies. The BOLD responses were quasi-sinusoidal, without the onset or offset transients typical in block designs. A hemodynamic model, based upon the balloon model with delayed compliance, and a linear model of inward flow, was fit to the BOLD data using the contrast waveform as input The hemodynamic model fit the BOLD data well, but required different model parameters for each stimulus frequency. This implies that the differential equations comprising the hemodynamic model do not capture adequately the dynamics of the BOLD response across multiple time scales.","PeriodicalId":333843,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Dallas Engineering in Medicine and Biology Workshop","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115249603","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 inadequacy has necessitated a reassessment of the resolution limits of optical microscopes. By adopting a stochastic framework and using the statistical theory concerning the Fisher information matrix, we have derived a new resolution measure that overcomes the limitations of Rayleigh's criterion. Here, we provide a brief overview of this and other related results published by our group. The new resolution measure predicts that there is no resolution limit, but that the resolvability depends on the number of detected photons. It has been experimentally verified that distances well below Rayleigh's limit can be measured from images of closely spaced single molecules with an accuracy as predicted by the new resolution measure. The stochastic framework used to obtain the new resolution measure is applicable to a wide variety of estimation problems encountered in optical microscopy. As an application, we have investigated the localization accuracy problem, which is concerned with how accurately the 2D/3D location of a microscopic object can determined from its image. One of the shortcomings of current microscopy techniques is that they suffer from poor depth discrimination and as a result they are not well adapted for 3D tracking of single molecules/particles. We have recently developed a novel imaging modality called multifocal plane microscopy (MUM) to overcome this limitation. Using the stochastic framework, we have shown that MUM has significantly improved depth discrimination, which in turn enables 3D single particle tracking at high axial localization accuracy.","PeriodicalId":333843,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Dallas Engineering in Medicine and Biology Workshop","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115571817","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}

Previously, it has primarily been applied at low temporal resolution, i.e. repetition time >500 ms, and cannot resolve rapid neuronal and vascular function/dysfunction. Here we aim to achieve a ten-fold improvement in temporal resolution by localizing the brain coverage (i.e. single-slice) in combination with optimized MR acquisition schemes, e.g. using parallel imaging, reducing flip angle and reducing echo-time. A new challenge is that, at this resolution, physiologic noises become more pronounced and may mix with the true brain activation signals. We therefore applied wavelet decomposition to separate the MRI time-course into four components: fMRI signal, cardiac pulsation signal, respiratory fluctuation signal, and residual noise. In vivo experiments using flashing checkerboard visual stimulation revealed hemodynamic responses that are consistent with previous low-resolution data but with more detailed temporal features. Time-to-peak of the fMRI signal was determined in six healthy subjects and one patient with possible Alzheimer's disease. Measurement reproducibility of the proposed method was also evaluated in three of the subjects.","PeriodicalId":333843,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Dallas Engineering in Medicine and Biology Workshop","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124399575","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}

Many degradable scaffold fabrication techniques have been developed. However, these scaffolds often hamper the growth of cells due to material hydrophobicity and/or lack of biocompatible protein coating. To overcome the common problems, in this study, the use of protein microbubbles as a porogen and drug/protein carrier to produce polymeric scaffolds with good porosity was conceptualized. Albumin bubbles were produced by sonicating bovine serum albumin in the presence of nitrogen gas. PLGA scaffolds were then prepared by thermally induced phase separation with the incorporation of protein microbubbles as porogens. SEM and cryosectioning of scaffold revealed the presence of open interconnected pores measuring around 100 to 150 mum size, which is suitable for cell migration into scaffold. This novel technique provides two distinct advantages. First, microbubbles are made of biological materials which can provide biocompatible protein coating on the pores throughout the scaffold. Second, apart from having produced scaffolds with larger pores compared to conventional methods, our novel scaffold also has the potential to function as a delivery mechanism for delivering chemokines and drugs into the polymeric matrix.","PeriodicalId":333843,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Dallas Engineering in Medicine and Biology Workshop","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127788136","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}

King spinal deformity classification system was used for PCA cluster implementation. The dataset used for this study had 25 spinal deformity patterns. Such dataset was further divided into 5 subgroups. In each subgroup there were exactly 5 King deformity patterns. These 25 King spinal deformity classifications had been verified by artificial neural network with hold-out method. At the first step the simplified three-dimensional (3-D) spine model was constructed based on the coronal and sagittal X-ray images. The features of the central axis curve of the spinal deformity patterns in 3-D space were extracted by the total curvature analysis. The discrete form of the total curvature, including the curvature and the torsion of the central axis of the simplified 3-D spine model was derived from the difference quotients. The total curvature values of 17 vertebrae from the first thoracic to the fifth lumbar spine formed a Euclidean space of 17 dimensions. For the purpose of classification, each pattern of spinal deformity was labeled to identify it from others. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied on the total curvature of these 25 spinal deformity patterns. By PCA dimensional reduction on these patterns, the 17-D pattern characters of spinal deformity were reduced into 2-D and the clustering property of spinal deformity classification can be visualized in a 2-D principal component plane.","PeriodicalId":333843,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Dallas Engineering in Medicine and Biology Workshop","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121121903","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}

One limitation is caused by the thermal effects of the excited tissue and the other limitation is due to its low efficiency in energy delivery for stimulation.
