Investigation on activating individual living monocytic U937 cell by interleukin-6 using Raman tweezers

We investigate the activation of living monocytic U937 cells induced by interleukin-6 （IL-6） at the single cell level. We employ home-built Raman tweezers to measure the Raman spectra of living U937 cells with and without IL-6 at the single cell level. Raman peaks of amide III, amide I, DNA backbone, as well as guanine and adenine in U937 cells, change at 1312, 1652, 1090, and 1576 cm ？1 , respectively, shortly after IL-6 is added in the medium. The change is a dynamic temporal process. In the activation process of U937 cells induced by IL-6, the protein signals recover in 20 min, while the nucleic acid signals continue to increase for 20 min. The results reveal that the biochemical cascades of activation in signal transduction induced by IL-6 can be investigated in situ at the single cell level.     

月球目标的探测与跟踪技术研究

研究了月球目标探测成像及自动跟踪系统。利用CCD图像传感器、图像处理技术以及图像跟踪算法可以取代对月球的手动跟踪,无需预知月球的运动轨道,在自动跟踪的同时记录月球影像,便于对月球表面数据的记录和处理,并能进行实时图像处理,利于对月球图像的分析,为月球探测跟踪做了一次有益的新方法尝试。
