X-ray diffraction enhanced imaging study of intraocular tumors in human beings

Diffraction enhanced imaging （DEI） with edge enhancement is suitable for the observation of weakly absorbing objects. The potential ability of the DEI was explored for displaying the microanatomy and pathology of human eyeball in this work. The images of surgical specimens from malignant intraocular tumor of hospitalized patients were taken using the hard X-rays from the topography station of Beamline 4W1A at Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility （BSRF）. The obtained radiographic images were analyzed in correlation with those of pathology. The results show that the anatomic and pathologic details of intraocular tumors in human beings can be observed clearly by DEI for the first time, with good visualization of the microscopic details of eyeball ring such as sclera, choroids and other details of intraocular organelles. And the best resolution of DEI images reaches up to the magnitude of several tens of μm. The results suggest that it is capable of exhibiting clearly the details of intraocular tumor using DEI method.     

PLA/MWNTs/HA复合材料的制备和性能研究

采用超声辅助原位湿法合成多壁碳纳米管／羟基磷灰石纳米复合材料(MWNTs／HA),并通过溶液浇铸法制备了PLA／MWNTs／HA复合材料薄膜。考察了MWNTs／HA纳米粒子含量对复合膜性能的影响,并通过力学性能、SEM、FTIR、以及DMTA对复合膜性能进行了表征,结果表明：随着纳米粒子质量分数的增加,复合膜的拉伸强度呈下降趋势;拉伸模量和储能模量呈现先下降后上升的趋势;玻璃化转变温度则呈现不断上升趋势。

小鼠肺同步辐射X-射线相衬成像实验研究

同步辐射相衬X射线成像技术的密度敏感性是普通吸收X射线成像技术的1000倍左右,因而它在研究软组织内部结构时具有很大潜力.本课题组采用同步辐射相衬X射线成像观察正常小鼠肺,可见清晰的支气管树和重叠肺泡形成的衬度影像,分辨率可达20μm左右.结果表明,同步辐射相衬X射线成像技术有可能检测到普通X射线成像技术无法检测到的肺部微小病变,并进一步分析病变的细微结构.
