Platelet adhesion and activation restrict the clinical applicability of blood-contacting biomaterial because platelet-biomaterial interaction can result in the formation of a haemostatic plug or thrombus. In this study we used LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) tests to evaluate the adsorption behavior of platelets on material surfaces. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was applied to evaluate platelet activation using a special monoclonal antibody directly binding to the P-selectin on the activated platelet membrane. The results show compared with the conventional detecting tools of platelet adhesion / activation such as optical microscopy. LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) testing and EIA (enzyme immunoassay) are surface-sensitive methods for the investigation of various aspects of platelet adsorption and activation on different biomaterials.

In the work reported here, titanium oxide film were synthesized using magnetron sputtering from a high-purity Ti metal target while sustaining a differential oxygen partial pressure of from 0.02 to 0.30 Pa. The biological behavior of endothelial cells grown on the film surface was studied by in vitro human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) culture investigation. Our studies revealed that the adherence, growth, and proliferation of endothelial cells on different Ti-O film surfaces were strongly affected by the oxygen partial pressure. The biocompatibility mechanisms of ECs on Ti-O film surfaces were explored using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), α-step profilometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). We conclude that the various film characteristics such as structure, composition and surface morphology due to the different oxygen partial pressures significantly influence the biological behavior of EC.

1 IntroductionOvarian cancer remains the most lethal disease of the gynecological cancers. Owing to the lack of an effective screening approach combined with inadequate therapeutic approach for advanced disease, fewer than 25% of ovarian cancers are identified at an early curable stage. Thus these make ovarian cancer a strong candidate for chemoprevention. In 2001, Akhmedkhanov et al. demonstrated a 2-3 folds decrease in epithelial ovarian cancer associated with Aspirin use. These epidemiological observations suggest that an improved understanding of the mechanisms by which NSAID may decrease the development of ovarian cancer could lead to improved approaches for chemoprevention of this deadly disease. In this research, we explored the potential mechanism underlying epidemiological observations that ovarian cancer occurs at a lower frequency in women exposed to Aspirin(ASP).

This paper reports a high output power, high conversion efficiency, all-solid-state, quasi-continuous-wave Ti: sapphire laser system pumped by frequency-doubled Nd: YAG laser with DPL and by employing it as a pump source, we got the tunable broadband wavelength varying from 750nm to 950nm. Comparing with correlative research fields, two uppermost improvements were achieved, including the topmost output power and its broadband tuning. To ensure the ideal broadband output of Ti: sapphire laser, two sets of Ti: sapphire resonator mirrors were used respectively One is from 750 to 850nm, the other is from 850 to 950nm. Because the centric wavelength of the resonator laser is nearly 795nm, the maximum of the Ti: sapphire laser output power we obtained was 6W with the first set of mirror and the transmission rate of the output mirror is 10%. The power tops this field so far and the higher conversion efficiency is 22.2%. The second set of mirror we used can generate the output power of 3W, which is high enough to achieve broadband tuning for the future. And then, by using a tunable and line width compressed implement-birefringent filter which was Brewster angle placed, we achieved continuous tuning from 750nm to 950nm with reasonably high power.

A dual-wave Quasi-CW Nd:YAG laser has been demonstrated at the wavelengths of 1319nm and 660nm. The radiation energy level of the 1319nm transition was analyzed. The critical technology of restraining resonance of 1064nm so as to improve that of 660nm was discussed. Sophisticated optical coating and cavity structure was studied. And a maximum CW Output power of 43W at1319nm was acquired. Based 1319nm laser, a intracavity frequency-doubling laser of 660nm was also demonstrated by using KTP crystal and a acousto-optically Q-switch. And a Quasi-CW red light output power of 2W at 660nm was acquired, accordingly, dual-wave output was realized.

High power laser-diode-pumped 532nm laser sources (including continuous wave and high repetition rate operation) are directly used for precise processing of metals and plastics. Furthermore, high power green laser will be used in some fields such as ocean exploration, laser probe and underwater communication. Recently, we reported a HOW diode-side-pumped Nd:YAG intracavity frequency doubled high stability 532nm laser. In the experiment, we found that the average output power of second harmonic fluctuated acutely with the variety of pumping current. Moreover, the length of arms between the mirrors were very sensitive to this cavity. We consider that one of the reason is the focus length of thermal lens of Nd:YAG rod alter with the variational pumping current, which makes the cavity be unstable. We consider the KTP crystal as a thin lens for its short length. As thermal lensing effect of the Nd:YAG rod is quite severe, so we consider it as thermal lensing medium. By ray matrix methods, we have obtained the stable regions and beam waist radii distribution in the flat-concave cavity. In our experiment, we used a pump head consisting of 80 diode bars with pentagon pump model and employed flat-concave cavity structure in order to achieve high stability output and increase output power. The total cavity length is 505mm. By using an acousto-optic Q-switching with high diffraction loss and the KTP crystal which is type n phase matching, 110 W high stability 532nm laser is achieved. The experimental result is in good agreement with the calculation.

Hem-fir plywood were exposed to two brown rot fungi, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Postia placenta, and one white rot fungus, Trametes versicolor, to investigate the effect of fungal decay on mechanical properties of plywood. Results showed that modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of hem-fir plywood declined significantly by inoculating fungi, and weight loss of sample had a modest decrease. The fungi also made a greater effect on MOR than on MOE. Of three fungi, Postia placenta caused a most significant weight loss, and Gloeophyllum trabeum resulted in a largest flexural properties loss. Substantial declines in MOR and MOE of hem-fir plywood were also observed when the plywood samples were stored under wet conditions over 15 weeks, even in the absence of fungal attack.

A kind of artifact in myocardial positron emission tomography (PET) is the count loss due to the limited spatial resolution of PET, which is also named as partial volume effect (PVE). A deconvolution method was developed to correct for the artifact, in which the counts were evaluated as a parameter in the convolution. One-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) models were used to create the convolution equation. Counts, background, myocardial wall position and thickness were parameters of the equation. The method needs non-linear fitting by an iterative process. Computer simulated myocardial images, PET image of phantoms and patient's myocardial PET images were used for evaluating the method. For simulated images, the corrected recovery coefficient is between 0.97 and 1.10 for 2D model and is near 0.9 for 1D model. 2D model can be applied for myocardium as thin as 0.25 times of the system spatial resolution while 1D model is only for 1.5 times of it. For phantom images, the recovery coefficient of 2D is near 1.0 for different thickness of the myocardium. The iterating process converges for a wide range of different size of myocardium and noise levels. 2D model allows correction for PVE exactly even for very thin myocardium.
