The developed train simulator can simulate the real train operation with designed task condition for measuring brain function of train driver. Blood flow measurement is carried out manual and automatic train operation. It is pointed out that the difference between manual operation and automatic operation can be seen in the blood flow of frontal lobe.","PeriodicalId":346624,"journal":{"name":"The Second Asian and Pacific Rim Symposium on Biophotonics, 2004.

Specifically, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) and mitochondrial free calcium (mCa/sup 2+/) were measured simultaneously during PDT with BPD-MA induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Intriguingly, PDT with BPD-MA-induced mROS formation and mCa/sup 2+/ elevation as well as apoptotic death were found only when the mitochondrial compartment was illuminated. These data suggest that PDT with a mitochondria targeted photosensitizer can extensively enhance the efficacy of PDT via mROS and mCa/sup 2+/-mediated apoptotic mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":346624,"journal":{"name":"The Second Asian and Pacific Rim Symposium on Biophotonics, 2004.
