EFFECTIVE DETECTION DEPTH OF NEEDLE-LIKE OPTICAL PROBE

The effective detection depth of the needle-like optical probe is studied. The light transport model in highly scattering tissue is the diffusion equation and the boundary is Neuman. The sensitivity matrix is related to the position of the light source and the detector. It can be used to evaluate the effective detection depth. The sensitivity matrix is defined as the multiplication of the source and detector hght distribution. Six different groups about ix parameters including the source diameter and detector fibers, the core-to-core distance between the source and detector fibers, the opotode depth, the absorption, and reduced scattering coefficient, are used as experimental models. The relationship between the six parameters and the effective detection depth is analyzed. Resuits can be used to study the spatial resolution and the depth of multi-fibers.

Implication of two-coupled tri-stable stochastic resonance in weak signal detection

Stochastic resonance （SR） has been proved to be an effective approach to extract weak signals overwhelmed in noise. However, the detection effect of current SR models is still unsatisfactory. Here, a coupled tri-stable stochastic resonance （CTSSR） model is proposed to further increase the output signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） and improve the detection effect of SR. The effects of parameters a, b, c, and r in the proposed resonance system on the SNR are studied, by which we determine a set of parameters that is relatively optimal to implement a comparison with other classical SR models. Numerical experiment results indicate that this proposed model performs better in weak signal detection applications than the classical ones with merits of higher output SNR and better anti-noise capability.

Detection of Cytogenetic Effects in Peripheral Lymphocytes of Students Exposed to Formaldehyde with Cytokinesis-Blocked Micronucleus Assay

Cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay was applied as a biological dosimeter to detect abnormalities in human peripheral lymphocytes of thirteen students exposed to formaldehyde (FA) during a 12-week (10 h per week) anatomy class. Breathing-zone air samples colleeted during dissection procedures showed a mean concentration of 2. 37 ppm (3. 17mg/m3 ). Ten students from the same school but without FA exposure served as controls. Chromosome aberrations (CA) and sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) were detected in both groups. The micronuclei (MN) rate (6. 38 ± 2. 50‰ ) and CA rate (5. 92 ±2. 40‰ ) in the FA-exposed group showed a significant increase (P< 0. 01 ) when compared with those of the controls (3. 15 ±1. 46‰and 3. 40 ± 1. 57 % respectively). A correlation between MN and CA in individuals was observed. SCE in the exmpd group were also increased (P< 0. 05), but not so greatly as MN or CA. The results indicated that FA might damage the chromosomes of human lymphocytes.

Multistage analysis method for detection of effective herb prescription from clinical data

Determining effective traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） treatments for specific disease conditions or particular patient groups is a difficult issue that necessitates investigation because of the complicated personalized manifestations in real-world patients and the individualized combination therapies prescribed in clinical settings. In this study, a multistage analysis method that integrates propensity case matching, complex network analysis, and herb set enrichment analysis was proposed to identify effective herb prescriptions for particular diseases （e.g., insomnia）. First, propensity case matching was applied to match clinical cases. Then, core network extraction and herb set enrichment were combined to detect core effective herb prescriptions. Effectiveness-based mutual information was used to detect strong herb symptom relationships. This method was applied on a TCM clinical data set with 955 patients collected from well-designed observational studies. Results revealed that groups of herb prescriptions with higher effectiveness rates （76.9% vs. 42.8% for matched samples; 94.2% vs. 84.9% for all samples） compared with the original prescriptions were found. Particular patient groups with symptom manifestations were also identified to help investigate the indications of the effective herb prescriptions.

Direct detection of the transient superresolution effect of nonlinear saturation absorption thin films

Using a strong nonlinear saturation absorption effect is one technique for breaking through the diffraction limit. In this technique, formation of a dynamic and reversible optical pinhole channel and transient superresolution is critical. In this work, a pump–probe transient detection and observation–experimental setup is constructed to explore the formation process directly. A Ge2Sb2Te5 thin film with strong nonlinear saturation absorption is investigated. The dynamic evolution of the optical pinhole channel is detected and imaged, and the transient superresolution spot is directly captured experimentally. Results verify that the superresolution effect originates from the generation of an optical pinhole channel and that the formation of the optical pinhole channel is dynamic and reversible. A good method is provided for direct detection and observation of the transient process of the superresolution effect of nonlinear thin films.

The effect of SRS on pilot-tone detection technique in DWDM system

A math model that can describe the effect of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) on pilot-tone detection technique is proposed.Through numerical simulation,it is shown that the effect of SRS could produce ghost-tones.The power of ghost-tones was larger for the channels separated further from the real-tone. The power ratio between real-tone and ghost-tones increases linearly with the increase of transmission length when propagation distance longer than 300 km.

Specific detection and effective inhibition of a single bacterial species in situ using peptide mineralized Au cluster probes

Increasingly serious microbial infections call for the development of new simpler methods for the precise diagnosis and specific inhibition of such pathogens. In this work, a peptide mineralized Au cluster probe was applied as a new simplified strategy to both recognize and inhibit a single bacteria species of Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) simultaneously. The probes are composed of peptides and Au clusters. Moreover, the peptides specifically target S. aureus cells and the Au clusters provide fluorescent imaging and have an antibacterial effect. These new probes enable the simultaneous specific detection and effective destruction S. aureus cells in situ.
