疲劳综合症目前已经越来越多地影响着人们的正常生活和工作。可以通过组织血氧饱和度、心率等参数来评价疲劳程度,并采用某种抗疲劳胶囊和咖啡作为调节疲劳程度的一种手段。基于空间分辨的近红外光谱(NIRS)技术可实现人体组织氧饱和度(rSO₂)的无损、实时检测。针对长时间在办公室工作的脑力劳动者人群,设计了两组静态实验来分别评价服用与未服用抗疲劳胶囊或咖啡的疲劳程度。通过对实验组和对照组受试者分别进行脑组织氧饱和度、心率等参数进行了测试,并侧重分析了受试者的脑组织氧饱和度的变化情况。结果表明,实验组的受试者其脑组织氧饱和度在服用抗疲劳胶囊和咖啡后都有明显的上升趋势,从而表明抗疲劳胶囊在一定程度上有缓解疲劳的作用。     

一种测量动脉血氧饱和度的新方法

在传统的血氧饱和度测量方法中,首先计算对数光电容积脉搏波交、真流成分的比值(R值),然后通过实验建立血氧饱和度值与R值的线性回归模型,旨在消除光程的影响,将个体差异的影响降至最小化,是一种基于Lambert-Beer定律的降维处理。当考虑散射时,这种以交、直流成分的比值作为自变量的降维处理方式损失了信息量,引入了系统误差,限制了测量的精度。为了减小这种影响,从透射光电脉搏波所含信息量的角度,提出了使用双波长对数光电容积脉搏波的峰值和谷值作为自变量与血氧饱和度值建立线性回归模型的新方法。从23名健康志愿者中获得133例光电脉搏波及血氧饱和度参考值样本,从中随机抽取90例作为建模集,另外43例作为预测集,对比了新方法和R值法的建模和预测结果。随机抽取建模集并预测10次,新方法和R值法的平均预测相关系数分别为0.890 6和0.846 8,平均预测均方根误差分别为0.889 6%和1.037 3%,结果表明新方法的预测效果优于传统R值法,使用四个特征量建立血氧饱和度预测模型,能够提高测量的稳定性和精度,对基于有限波长光谱数据建模测量人体血液生理参数有指导意义。     

反射式血氧饱和度检测方法的研究

近红外光谱技术可实现组织中血氧代谢的实时无损伤在体测量, 在生物医学领域得到了广泛应用。 本文利用红光、红外光双光束对指尖进行了基于反射式原理的血氧饱和度(SPO2)检测。通过改变入射光的强度, 并在距入射光1.5cm处采集其反射信号, 观察光强变化对光学体积描记（PPG）信号的影响。实验表明在入射光强不同时, 光到达生物组织层次不同, 所得信号幅度、信噪比都不同。以此提出改变光强法来检测组织不同层次的血氧饱和度。     

基于动态光谱的脉搏血氧测量精度分析

脉搏血氧仪具有连续、无创、快速、准确监测人体动脉血氧饱和度和心率的功能,现已在临床上发挥重要作用.脉搏血氧饱和度检测法结合分光光度测定法和容积描记法2个基本方法,用红光和红外光同时对手指及耳垂等组织照射和检测.红外光和红光的容积描记图的波幅比值,随动脉血氧饱和程度而变化.目前使用的脉搏血氧仪基本上采用的是传统的脉搏血氧饱和度检测方法,由于其结果受到测量原理,测量条件及个体差异等多方面因素影响,精度不能令人满意.文章从动态光谱的观点出发,通过分析传统脉搏血氧测量原理中产生误差的原因,从理论上推导出实现高精度脉搏血氧测量的方法.动态光谱方法在原理上具有抑制或克服个体差异和测量条件对检测光谱影响的优点.采用该方法可以消除脉搏血氧饱和度测量的理论上的绝大部分误差.     

基于动态光谱法的多波长脉搏血氧饱和度测量

目前临床上血氧饱和度的无创检测主要基于双波长的脉搏血氧饱和度测量原理,但其检测精度仍然需要进一步的探究和完善。近年来,国内外的很多研究者采用三波长甚至八波长的方法测量血氧饱和度,从某种程度上减小了误差。动态光谱法作为一种新型血液成分无创检测方法,能消除受试者个体差异和测量环境等的影响,在血红蛋白浓度的无创检测研究中取得了很好的效果。基于动态光谱法对多波长下脉搏血氧饱和度检测进行了研究：对60名重症监护患者进行动态光谱采集以及动脉抽血分析血氧饱和度值;采用高灵敏度光纤光谱仪,采集受试者指端透射多波长下的光谱信息;以单拍提取法提取波长范围为606.44~987.55 nm的动态光谱;以动脉血气分析中血氧饱和度值为参考真值,建立血氧饱和度与多波长动态光谱数据的组合间隔偏最小二乘校正模型;得到预测集的相对误差为±0.017 6,而两波长测量装置监护仪上得到的数据相对误差为±0.116 4。结果表明：利用高灵敏度光纤光谱仪采集多波长光谱信息,用动态光谱法进行数据预处理,进行多波长血氧饱和度检测,有效降低了血氧饱和度的测量误差。     

一种改进的脉搏血氧饱和度测量方法

针对峰谷值法在低灌注下血氧饱和度测量准确度较低的缺点,采用了一种基于卷积建模测量血氧饱和度的改进方法。该方法基于脉搏波具有周期性和稀疏性的特性,通过对光电容积脉搏信号特征与其卷积信号特征进行分析,使用其卷积信号代替脉搏信号测量血氧饱和度。实验结果表明,提出的改进方法与峰谷值法在正常灌注指数下测量结果相近,且在低灌注指数至0.2%的条件下,峰谷值法平均偏差和准确度分别为5.304和3.296,改进方法的平均偏差和准确度分别为1.224和1.443,改进方法的测量精度更高、稳定性更好,为人体血氧饱和度测量提供了一种有效途径。     

血液可见吸收光谱与血氧参数神经网络估算法

总血红蛋白浓度和血氧饱和度是两个基本的血氧参数。文章提出了利用内置双光纤微创探头在位测量大鼠脑组织血氧参数的新方法。首先,利用悬乳液(Intralipid)和全血配置不同总血红蛋白浓度的混合溶液,模拟生物组织模型,用光纤光谱仪测试系统测量组织模型在加氧和去氧时的实时吸收光谱,同时用血氧分析仪(OXI meter)对血氧参数定标,建立测试光谱和定标数据样本集。然后,利用人工神经网络建立血液吸收光谱与血氧参数的神经网络模型,训练后的网络模型能根据吸收光谱输出生物组织的血氧参数值,总血红蛋白浓度和血氧饱和度的平均输出误差分别为±4μmol·L-1和±5%。最后,利用神经网络模型对大鼠脑组织血氧参数进行了在位测试实验,测得脑灰质的血氧饱和度为0.60~0.70,脑白质血氧饱和度为0.45~0.55;总血红蛋白浓度在脑皮层(深度1mm)附近最高,平均110μmol·L-1,其余深度脑组织的总血红蛋白浓度为70~90μmol·L-1。这种方法对脑外科微创手术中实时在位测试脑组织血氧参数具有重要的参考意义。     

近红外光谱监测体外循环手术中脑组织氧合状况的研究

体外循环手术中,为防止因脑氧供需失衡导致脑缺氧,就要实时监测患者局部脑组织的氧合状况,以根据其变化调整生理参数或采取应急手段。用该研究小组自行研制的近红外仪器(使用一个双波长的近红外光源和两个近红外检测器)监测心脏手术中患者的脑氧,可以求出局部脑组织血红蛋白浓度的变化,并根据稳态空间分辨光谱(SRS)算法求出局部脑组织的氧饱和度(rSO₂)。体外循环中用监护仪监测患者的混合静脉血氧饱和度(SvO₂)等生理参数。测得的血红蛋白浓度变化容易受到干扰,而rSO₂的抗干扰性能较好。rSO₂在整个手术过程中都可以监测到,而SvO₂只能在体外循环过程中监测到。多数患者rSO₂和SvO₂存在正向相关性,但二者的相关系数并不很高。这是因为SvO₂是大静脉的血氧饱和度,而测得的rSO₂反映局部脑组织的氧合状况,二者的生理意义不同。实验结果表明,体外循环手术中rSO₂可以反映患者脑组织氧合状况的变化,而仅仅监测SvO₂是不够的。     

利用近红外光谱检测多层组织血氧饱和度的研究

利用近红外光谱无创检测生物组织血氧饱和状态,是一种极富研究和应用前景的检测技术,在临床检测中被广泛应用.但常规临床检测应用于指端仅反映局部血氧饱和度信息,在使用中具有局限性,信号的可信度也存在质疑.该文提出了一种采用反射式脉搏血氧饱和度检测技术检测生物多层组织氧合状况的新方法,该方法通过调节入射光强以适应解剖学中生物组织多层结构的检测.应用该方法针对手指结构的实验结果表明,随着入射光强的改变,反映血氧饱和状态的光电脉搏波信号有显著变化.结合手指解剖学分析表明,光电脉搏波信号的变化与手指的多层面组织结构相对应,反映不同层面血氧饱和状态.这一特点表明,通过此法可以针对生物组织的多层结构进行测量.     

双波长光学低相干干涉术用于血氧饱和度测量的数值分析

In vivo measurement of tissue damage, oxygen saturation changes and blood flow changes after experimental traumatic brain injury in rats using susceptibility weighted imaging

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a prevalent disease, and many TBI patients experience disturbed cerebral blood flow (CBF) after injury. Moreover, TBI is difficult to quantify with conventional imaging modalities. In this paper, we utilized susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) as a means to monitor functional blood oxygenation changes and to quantify CBF changes in animals after trauma. In this study using six rats, brain trauma was induced by a weight drop model and the brain was scanned over four time points: pre trauma, and 4 h, 24 h and 48 h post trauma. Five rats survived and one died after trauma. A blood phase analysis using filtered SWI phase images suggested that three rats recovered after 48 h and two rats deteriorated. SWI also suggested that CBF decreased by up to 26%. The CBF change is in agreement with the results of arterial spin labeling methods conducted in this study and with previously published results. Furthermore, SWI revealed an enlargement of the major venous vasculature in deep brain structures, in accordance with the location of diffuse axonal injury. Compared with the traditional, invasive, clinical monitoring of cerebral vascular damage and reduction in blood flow, this method offers a novel, safe and noninvasive approach to quantify changes in oxygen saturation and CBF and to visualize structural changes in blood vasculature after TBI.     

In vivo integrated photoacoustic and confocal microscopy of hemoglobin oxygen saturation and oxygen partial pressure

We developed dual-modality microscope integrating photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) and fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) to noninvasively image hemoglobin oxygen saturation (sO?) and oxygen partial pressure (pO?) in vivo in single blood vessels with high spatial resolution. While PAM measures sO? by imaging hemoglobin optical absorption at two wavelengths, FCM quantifies pO? using phosphorescence quenching. The variations of sO? and pO? values in multiple orders of vessel branches under hyperoxic (100% oxygen) and normoxic (21% oxygen) conditions correlate well with the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. In addition, the total concentration of hemoglobin is imaged by PAM at an isosbestic wavelength.     

Decreased oxygen saturation in asymmetrically prominent cortical veins in patients with cerebral ischemic stroke

Decreased oxygen saturation in asymmetrically prominent cortical veins (APCV) seen in ischemic stroke has been hypothesized to correlate with an increase of de-oxygenated hemoglobin. Our goal is to quantify magnetic susceptibility to define APCV by establishing a cutoff above which the deoxyhemoglobin levels are considered abnormal. A retrospective study was conducted on 26 patients with acute ischemic stroke in one cerebral hemisphere that exhibited APCV with 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) was used to calculate the magnetic susceptibility of the cortical veins. A paired t-test was used to compare the susceptibility of the cortical veins in the left and right hemispheres for healthy controls as well as in the contralateral hemisphere for stroke patients with APCV. The change in oxygen saturation in the APCV relative to the contralateral side was calculated after thresholding the susceptibility using the mean plus two standard deviations of the contralateral side for each individual. The thresholded susceptibility value of the APCVs in the stroke hemisphere was 254 ± 48 ppb which was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that in the contralateral hemisphere (123 ± 12 ppb) and in healthy controls (125 ± 8 ppb). There was a decrease of oxygen saturation in the APCV ranging from 16% to 44% relative to the veins of the contralateral hemisphere. In conclusion, APCV seen in SWI correspond to reduced levels of oxygen saturation and these abnormal veins can be identified using a susceptibility threshold on the QSM data.     

Estimation of Absorbing Components in a Local Layer Embedded in the Turbid Media on the Basis of Visible to Near- Infrared (VIS-NIR) Reflectance Spectra

A new method is studied for estimating the hemoglobin concentration and oxygenation of a local blood layer in a human skin tissue model on the basis of visible and near infrared reflectance spectra. This method uses the iterative Monte Carlo technique for a multi-layered skin tissue model. The numerical simulation was performed to investigate the effects of estimation errors for epidermis and dermis layers on the results for the local blood layer. Experiments with skin tissue phantoms were performed to verify the possibility of this method.     

Validity of retinal oxygen saturation analysis: Hyperspectral imaging in visible wavelength with fundus camera and liquid crystal wavelength tunable filter

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the feasibility of a newly developed hyperspectral fundus imaging camera with a liquid crystal tunable filter. The intensities of different wavelengths of light transmitted through an artery, vein, and the area surrounding these vessels and reflected out were measured, and the differential spectral absorptions were analyzed. Measurements were made from 16 normal eyes and from two artificial capillaries. The ratios of absorption (ROA) of arteries to veins from 500 to 580 nm (range 1) and from 600 to 720 nm (range 2) were calculated. For all eyes, the ROA_range1 was larger than ROA_range2. The ROA obtained from the artificial capillary filled with blood saturated with oxygen or nitrogen was similar to that of simulated data of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin extinction rate. Most ROAs of human eyes were lower than those of the simulated data and the artificial capillaries. Oxygen saturation analysis by hyperspectral fundus imaging of retinal vessels were qualitatively in agreement with thein vitro analysis or simulated values. However, further improvements are necessary to evaluate the oxygen saturation quantitatively in the retinal blood vessels.     

Assessment of the therapeutic action of low-intensity laser radiation from the extent of local tissue saturation with oxygen

We propose a method for dosimetry of the biological response to laser irradiation based on determination of the amount of oxygen additionally supplied to the tissue. We show that it is feasible to determine the therapeutic dose from the change in the degree of oxygen saturation of the blood, heart rate, hemoglobin concentration in the blood, and exposure time. __________ 13Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 4, pp. 516–520, July–August, 2006.     

Procedure for rapid spectroscopic control of the distribution of oxygen and of doping impurities in silicon ingots

Spectral dependences of the coefficients of absorption by free carriers and of multiphoton absorption by a silicon lattice in the region of the interstitial oxygen band at 5.8 μm are established. A procedure for measurement of the distribution of oxygen and alloying impurities in silicon ingots is given. The effectiveness of the spectrometers developed for controlling the segregation of impurities and nonstationary convection of the silicon melt in growing ingots by the Czochralski method is shown.

Short‐term effects of synchrotron irradiation on vasculature and tissue in healthy mouse brain

The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of a tomographic synchrotron irradiation on healthy mouse brain. The cerebral cortexes of healthy nude mice were irradiated with a monochromatic synchrotron beam of 79 keV at a dose of 15 Gy in accordance with a protocol of photoactivation of cisplatin previously tested in our laboratory. Forty‐eight hours, one week and one month after irradiation, the blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability was measured in the irradiated area with intravital multiphoton microscopy using fluorescent dyes with molecular weights of 4 and 70 kDa. Vascular parameters and gliosis were also assessed using quantitative immunohistochemistry. No extravasation of the fluorescent dyes was observed in the irradiated area at any measurement time (48 h, 1 week, 1 month). It appears that the BBB remains impermeable to molecules with a molecular weight of 4 kDa and above. The vascular density and vascular surface were unaffected by irradiation and no gliosis was induced. These findings suggest that a 15 Gy/79 keV synchrotron irradiation does not induce important damage on brain vasculature and tissue on the short term following irradiation.

Fragmentation cross-section of relativistic oxygen ions and determination of overlap parameter

Fragmentation cross-section of¹⁶O relativistic ions, at two different energies, was measured in CsI crystal. An experiment designed basically to study primary cosmic ray nuclei, was exposed to monoenergetic beam of¹⁶O ions of bevatron. Fragmentation of the ions was observed in a two layer CsI target. Each CsI crystal was 1 inch thick. The main energy of the beam was 2.1 GeV/nucleon. A subsidiary beam of 0.5 GeV/nucleon oxygen-ions was created for this experiment alone. The number of fragmentations occurring in each crystal was used to obtain the total fragmentation cross-section at these energies. The Bradt-Peters overlap parameter was derived from these cross-sections. The experiment was designed and fabricated at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, USA and was performed in the accelerator facilities of the University of California, Berkeley, Calif., USA.
