Intravascular ultrasound allows a hyperplasia diagnosis in vivo in rat as accurate as histomorphometry

Objective and motivation

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) allows in vivo invasive intra-luminal real-time examination of the arterial wall structure. In this study, we aimed to validate for the first time the in vivo IVUS performing as a diagnostic tool by comparison to the well-established histomorphometry approach, in the largely used rat model of carotid angioplasty model that mimics the angioplasty procedure in humans.

Methods

Atherosclerotic lesions were allowed to develop during four weeks after balloon catheter inflation of the left carotid artery, whereas the intact right carotid artery was used as control. Four weeks after injury, a Boston Scientific 40 MHz device to perform IVUS exams in vivo on both carotid arteries. Then, both carotid arteries were examined in vitro by histomorphometry and correlation between IVUS and histomorphometric parameters (plaque plus media cross-sectional areas [CSA] and eccentricity index) were researched.

Results

After ANOVA analysis, comparative statistical analysis showed significant correlations between IVUS and histomorphometry when examining the intact right carotid artery (r = 0.662 with p < 0.003 for plaque plus media CSA; r = 0.774 with p < 0.002 for eccentricity index), but also when exploring the injured left carotid artery (r = 0.805 with p < 0.0001 for plaque plus media CSA; r = 0.775 with p < 0.002 for eccentricity index).

Conclusions and outcome

We report here for the first time the ability of IVUS to study therapeutic vascular effects in vivo in alive rats. This result is of major importance since it will allow this device to be used for restenosis drug testing in rat model of carotid angioplasty.     

Long correlations and Levy models applied to the study of memory effects in high frequency (tick) data

This work is devoted to the study of long correlations, memory effects and other statistical properties of high frequency (tick) data. We use a sample of 25 stocks for this purpose.We verify that the behavior of the return is compatible with that of continuous time Levy processes. We also study the presence of memory effects and long-range correlations in the values of the return.     

Reproducibility of myelin water fraction analysis: a comparison of region of interest and voxel-based analysis methods

This study compared region of interest (ROI) and voxel-based analysis (VBA) methods to determine the optimal method of myelin water fraction (MWF) analysis. Twenty healthy controls were scanned twice using a multi-echo T₂ relaxation sequence and ROIs were drawn in white and grey matter. MWF was defined as the fractional signal from 15 to 40 ms in the T₂ distribution. For ROI analysis, the mean intensity of voxels within an ROI was fit using non-negative least squares. For VBA, MWF was obtained for each voxel and the mean and median values within an ROI were calculated. There was a slightly higher correlation between Scan 1 and 2 for the VBA method (R²=0.98) relative to the ROI method (R²=0.95), and the VBA mean square difference between scans was 300% lower, indicating VBA was the most consistent between scans. For the VBA method, mean MWF was found to be more reproducible than median MWF. As the VBA method is more reproducible and gives more options for visualization and analysis of MWF, it is recommended over the ROI method of MWF analysis.     

Self‐doping PPV oligomers – electrochemistry and structure of the self‐doped systems

A novel class of self‐doping conjugated oligomers, E,E‐2‐(sulfoalkoxy)‐5‐alkoxy‐1,4‐bis[2‐(2,4,6‐trimethoxyphenyl) ethenyl]benzenes, is presented. The synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation of five such oligomers are described, and an electrochemical analysis using cyclic voltammetry is performed to determine the anodic peak potentials. A structural study is performed on six self‐doping oligomers in which the structures and energies of the possible mono‐molecular forms of the electrically conducting doped material are described and evaluated using Hirshfeld charges and the Quantum Theory of Atoms In Molecules.

Nondestructive elemental depth profiling of Japanese lacquerware ‘Tamamushi‐nuri’ by confocal 3D‐XRF analysis in comparison with micro GE‐XRF

We have applied recently two XRF (micro x‐ray fluorescence) methods [micro‐Grazing Exit XRF (GE‐XRF) and confocal 3D‐XRF] to Japanese lacquerware ‘Tamamushi‐nuri.’ A laboratory grazing‐exit XRF (GE‐XRF) instrument was developed in combination with a micro‐XRF setup. A micro x‐ray beam was produced by a single capillary and a pinhole aperture. Elemental x‐ray images (2D images) obtained at different analyzing depths by micro GE‐XRF have been reported. However, it was difficult to directly obtain depth‐selective x‐ray spectra and 2D images. A 3D XRF instrument using two independent polycapillary x‐ray lenses and two x‐ray sources (Cr and Mo targets) was also applied to the same sample. 2D XRF images of a Japanese lacquerware showed specific distributions of elements at the different depths, indicating that ‘Tamamushi‐nuri’ lacquerware has a layered structure. The merits and disadvantages of both the micro GE‐XRF and confocal micro XRF methods are discussed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Practical improvements to real and imaginary spectral based modal parameter measurements of SDOF systems

For a single degree of freedom system, especially with non-light damping, the use of the real spectral part of either the displacement or velocity responses (or the transfer functions based on them) has the advantages of determining the natural frequency (f_n) directly, independent of the response parameter, and providing an accurate measurement for damping (ζ). However, this method is sensitive to spectral phase errors due to temporal misalignment of the signal or due to net inter-channel delay differences caused by signal filtering. Two techniques are presented to correct for these errors; one based on the correct temporal alignment of the impulsive part, and the other on the infimum of the imaginary spectral part. These are first demonstrated using a numerical model, and are shown to facilitate the correct measurement of f_n and bring ζ within the expected error limits due to quantisation. Secondly, they are applied to an experimental system and are seen to greatly improve the consistency between measurements using different methods.     

The 2ν5 overtone bands of perchloryl fluoride

The high-resolution infrared spectra of the monoisotopic species F³⁵Cl¹⁶O₃, F³⁷Cl¹⁶O₃, F³⁵Cl¹⁸O₃ and F³⁷Cl¹⁸O₃ have been studied in the region of the 2ν₅ overtones, from 1100 to 1200 cm⁻¹. Both the parallel and the perpendicular components are clearly observed in the spectra, their origins differing by about 0.4 cm⁻¹. In each spectrum about 2000 transitions have been assigned, 35% of them belonging to . The parallel and perpendicular bands in each manifold have been analyzed separately since no evidence of perturbations has been observed. The rovibration parameters of the v₅ = 2, l₅ = 0 and v₅ = 2, l₅=?2 excited states have been obtained. For the four species combining the and band origins with those of the ν₅ fundamentals the harmonic wavenumbers, , and the x₅₅ and g₅₅ anharmonicity constants have also been derived.
