随着医学的发展,OCT影像技术越来越广泛的应用于多个医学领域,对OCT影像的处理就显得更加重要。基于图像纹理相关性的影像分割技术已经开始应用于活体微循环OCT影像的处理,如视网膜组织,皮肤血管组织等。对活体OCT影像的处理及其血管的分割有助于医生更好的诊断血管疾病。本文我们提出了一种基于灰度期望和精典Niblack结合的二值化阈值选取方法,并结合图像相关性对活体小白鼠耳朵血管的OCT影像进行图像分割,提取血管的轮廓,再经过形态学处理,得到较为准确的血管轮廓。      

Novel PLGA Microspheres for Sustained Delivery of Antisense Oligonucleotide

Novel poly(lactide-co-glycolide acid)(PLGA) microspheres were developed for sustained delivery of antisense oligonucleotide(ASO). First, a new cationic agent, polyethylenimine(PEI) conjugated to linoleic acid(LA)(PEI-LA) was synthesized by reacting PEI(M_w=800) with linoleoyl chloride. Then, PEI-LA was combined with LOR-2501 to form electrostatic complexes at moderate nitrogen-to-phosphate(N/P) molar ratios which were then encapsulated into poly(lactide-co-glycolide) microspheres by a multiple emulsion-solvent evaporation technique. With an increase in ASO/PEI-LA concentration from 5% to 10%, encapsulation efficiency of ASO in the microspheres reduced from 72.14% to 57.62%, and the particle size of microspheres increased from 28.58 μm to 34.76 μm. In vitro studies show that the release profile of ASO from microspheres prepared at 7.5% ASO-PEI-LA lasted for 14 d. The novel microspheres have a potential use as a sustained release vehicle for ASO.     

Development of an Artificial Compressibility Methodology with Implicit LU-SGS Method

A numerical method has been developed to solve the steady and unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional, curvilinear coordinate system. The solution procedure is based on the method of artificial compressibility and uses a third-order flux-difference splitting upwind differencing scheme for convective terms and second-order center difference for viscous terms. A time-accurate scheme for unsteady incompressible flows is achieved by using an implicit real time discretization and a dual-time approach, which introduces pseudo-unsteady terms into both the mass conservation equation and momentum equations. An efficient fully implicit algorithm LU-SGS, which was originally derived for the compressible Eulur and Navier-Stokes equations by Jameson and Toon [1], is developed for the pseudo-compressibility formulation of the two dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for both steady and unsteady flows. A variety of computed results are presented to validate the present scheme. Numerical solutions for steady flow in a square lid-driven cavity and over a backward facing step and for unsteady flow in a square driven cavity with an oscillating lid and in a circular tube with a smooth expansion are respectively presented and compared with experimental data or other numerical results.     

Highly Concise Synthesis of 3'-"Up"-ethynyl-5'-methylbicyclo-[3.1.0]-hexyl Purine and Pyrimidine Nucleoside Derivatives Using Rhodium(II) Carbenoid Cycloaddition and Highly Diastereoselective Grignard Reaction

Synthesis of north‐5'‐methylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl purine and pyrimidine nucleosides with an ethynyl group at C‐3' position has been successfully accomplished by a facile method. Methylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexanone (±)‐ 5 having three contiguous chiral centers was remarkably simply constructed only by four steps containing a carbenoid insertion reaction in the presence of rhodium(II) acetate dimer and CuSO₄, giving a correct relative stereochemistry of the generated three chiral centers. Upon Grignard reaction of (±)‐ 5 with ethynylmagnesium bromide, exclusive diastereoselectivity was observed. Condensation of glycosyl donor (±)‐ 9 with purine nucleobase afforded only the desired N⁹‐alkylated nucleoside, while condensation with pyrimidine, N³‐benzoylated uracil gave the desired N¹‐alkylated nucleoside (±)‐ 13 with the undesired O²‐alkylated nucleoside (±)‐ 14 . Probably, (±)‐ 14 would be formed due to steric hindrance caused upon approaching for N¹‐alkylation.

NUMERICAL STUDIES OF TRANSITIONAL TURBULENT PULSATILE FLOW IN PIPES WITH RING–TYPE CONSTRICTIONS

Pulsatile flows in the vicinity of mechanical ring-type constrictions in pipes were studied for transitional turbulent flow with a Reynolds number (Re) of the order of 10⁴. The Womersley number (Nw) is in the range 30–50, with a corresponding Strouhal number (St) range of 0·0143–0·0398. The pulsatile flows considered are a pure sinusoidal flow, a physiological flow and an experimental pulsatile flow profile for mechanical aortic valve flow simulations. Transitional laminar and turbulent flow characteristics in an alternating manner within the pulsatile flow fields were studied numerically. It was observed that fluid accelerations tend to suppress the development of flow disturbances. All the instantaneous maximum values of turbulent kinetic energy, turbulent viscosity and turbulent shear stress are smaller during the acceleration phase than during the deceleration period. Various parametric equations have been formulated through numerical experimentation to better describe the relationships between the instantaneous flow rate (Q), the pressure loss (ΔP), the maximum velocity (V_max), the maximum vorticity (ζ_max), the maximum wall vorticity (ζ_w,max), the maximum shear stress (τ_max) and the maximum wall shear stress (τ_w,max) for turbulent pulsatile flow in the vicinity of constrictions in the vascular tube. An elliptic relationship has been found to exist between the instantaneous flow rate and the instantaneous pressure gradient. Other linear and quadratic relations between various flow parameters were also obtained.
