A study on the real-time radiation dosimetry measurement system based on optically stimulated luminescence

The optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) radiation dosimeter technically surveys a wide dynamic measurement range and a high sensitivity. Optical fiber dosimeters provide capability for remote monitoring of the radiation in the locations which are difficult-to-access and hazardous. In addition, optical fiber dosimeters are immune to electrical and radio-frequency interference. In this paper, a novel remote optical fiber radiation dosimeter is described.

The study on optically stimulated luminescence dosimeter based on the SrS：Eu,Sm and CaS：Eu,Sm

With the increasing use of nuclear energy, there is a need for a wider range of efficient dosimeters for radiation detection and assessment. There has been a tremendous growth in the development of radiation detectors and devices in the past few decades. In recent years, the development of new materials for radiation dosimetry has progressed significantly. Alkaline earth sulfides （AES） have been known for a long time as excellent and versatile phosphor materials. In the present investigation, a number of phosphor samples such as mono-, binary and ternary sulfides of alkaline earths （II^a-VI^b） have been prepared and their TL properties have been studied with respect to exposure （x-ray） response and fading. In this paper, some results on SrS：Eu, Sm and CaS：Eu, Sm phosphors are presented. A type of novel OSL dosimeter is described. The dosimeter takes advantage of the characteristics of charge trapping materials SrS：Eu, Sm and CaS：Eu, Sm that exhibit optically stimulated luminescence （OSL）. The measuring range of the dosimeter is from 0.01 to 1000 Gy. The OSL dosimeters provide capability for remote monitoring radiation locations which are difficult to access and hazardous. This equipment is relatively simple, small in size and has low power consumption. The device is suitable for space radiation dose exploration. In addition, it also can be used in IC and other radiation occasions and has good prospects.

Biophysical model for high-throughput tumor and epithelial cell co-culture in complex biochemical microenvironments

The in vivo tumor microenvironment is a complex niche that includes heterogeneous physical structures,unique biochemical gradients and multiple cell interactions.Its high-fidelity in vitro reconstruction is of fundamental importance to improve current understandings of cell behavior,efficacy predictions and drug safety.In this study,we have developed a high-throughput biochip with hundreds of composite extracellular matrix(ECM)microchambers to co-culture invasive breast cancer cells(MDA-MB-231-RFP)and normal breast epithelial cells(MCF-10 A-GFP).The composite ECM is composed of type I collagen and Matrigel which provides a heterogeneous microenvironment that is similar to that of in vivo cell growth.Additionally,the growth factors and drug gradients that involve human epidermal growth factor(EGF),discoidin domain receptor 1(DDR1)inhibitor 7 rh and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor batimastat allow for the mimicking of the complex in vivo biochemical microenvironment to investigate their effect on the spatial-temporal dynamics of cell growth.Our results demonstrate that the MDA-MB-231-RFP cells and MCF-10 A-GFP cells exhibit different spatial proliferation behaviors under the combination of growth factors and drugs.Basing on the experimental data,we have also developed a cellular automata(CA)model that incorporated drug diffusion to describe the experimental phenomenon,as well as employed Shannon entropy(SE)to explore the effect of the drug diffusion coefficient on the spatial-temporal dynamics of cell growth.The results indicate that the uniform cell growth is related to the drug diffusion coefficient,which reveals that the pore size of the ECM plays a key role in the formation of complex biochemical gradients.Therefore,our integrated,biomimetic and high-throughput co-culture platforms,as well as the computational model can be used as an effective tool for investigating cancer pathogenesis and drug development.

Motile parameters of cell migration in anisotropic environment derived by speed power spectrum fitting with double exponential decay

Cell migration through anisotropic microenvironment is critical to a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes.However,adequate analytical tools to derive motile parameters to characterize the anisotropic migration are lacking.Here,we proposed a method to obtain the four motile parameters of migration cells based on the anisotropic persistent random walk model which is described by two persistence times and two migration speeds at perpendicular directions.The key process is to calculate the velocity power spectra of cell migration along intrinsically perpendicular directions respectively,then to apply maximum likelihood estimation to derive the motile parameters from the power spectra fitting with double exponential decay.The simulation results show that the averaged persistence times and the corrected migration speeds can be good estimations for motile parameters of cell migration.     

Derivation of persistent time for anisotropic migration of cells

Cell migration plays an essential role in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes. In this paper we numerically discuss the properties of an anisotropic persistent random walk(APRW) model, in which two different and independent persistent times are assumed for cell migrations in the x-and y-axis directions. An intrinsic orthogonal coordinates with the primary and non-primary directions can be defined for each migration trajectory based on the singular vector decomposition method. Our simulation results show that the decay time of single exponential distribution of velocity auto-correlation function(VACF) in the primary direction is actually the large persistent time of the APRW model, and the small decay time of double exponential VACF in the non-primary direction equals the small persistent time of the APRW model. Thus, we propose that the two persistent times of anisotropic migration of cells can be properly estimated by discussing the VACFs of trajectory projected to the primary and non-primary directions.
