Methods Healthy volunteers （n=30） were placed in a temperature-controlled room as a resting state for 40 min. Then the blood perfusion of bilateral PC 6 were carried out using PeriFlux System 5000 for 25 minutes. Mean blood flux of every 5 minutes was calculated. Then the participants were divided into groups of young （n=18） and the old （n=12） as the boundary of 40 years, the asymmetry index and coherence value of bilateral PC 6 were analyzed in different group. Results The mean blood flow of the right PC 6 was significantly higher than the left PC 6 in three different epochs, the mean blood flow of right PC 6 vs left PC 6 is 9.74±3.36 vs 6.73±2.22 （t=5.9, P〈0.001）, 9.83±3.63 vs 6.99±2.37 （t=5.11, P〈0.001） and 9.69±3.40 vs 6.77±2.32 （t=5.99, P〈0.001）, respectively. Although the asymmetry index is higher in old group than in young group, there is no statistically significant age-related differences. Coherence analysis suggest that there is significant difference in frequency value corresponding to peak crest between young and old group. Conclusion The blood perfusion in right PC 6 is higher than left PC 6. Coherence analysis of laser Doppler flowmetry signals in bilateral PC 6 might provide a potential non-invasive method to assess microcirculatory changes in different ages.展开更多

The changes in fluorescence intensity as a function of time in response to blocking and releasing of blood flow in a forearm are used as a measure of oxygen transport with blood to the tissue, which directly correlates with the skin microcirculation status. In this paper, a non-invasive dynamic monitoring system based on blood flow-mediated skin fluorescence (FMSF) technology is developed to monitor the NADH fluorescence intensity of skin tissue during the process of blocking reactive hyperemia. Simultaneously, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) were used to observe blood flow, blood oxygen saturation (SOt2) and relative amount of hemoglobin (rHb) during the measurement process, which helped to explore NADH dynamics relevant physiological changes. A variety of parameters have been derived to describe NADH fluorescence curve based on the FMSF device. The experimental results are conducive to understanding the NADH measurement and the physiological processes related to it, which help FMSF to be a great avenue for in vivo physiological, clinical and pharmacological research on mitochondrial metabolism.展开更多
