Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been increasingly used in the clinical treatment of neoplastic, inflammatory and infectious skin diseases. However, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may induce undesired side effects in normal tissue surrounding the treatment lesion, which is a big challenge for the clinical application of PDT. To date, (–)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been widely proposed as an antiangiogenic and antitumor agent for the protection of normal tissue from ROS-mediated oxidative damage. This study evaluates the regulation ability of EGCG for photodynamic damage of blood vessels during hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (Hemoporfin)-mediated PDT. The quenching rate constants of EGCG for the triplet-state Hemoporfin and photosensitized ¹O₂ generation are determined to be 6.8×108 M^?1S^?1 and 1.5×108 M^?1S^?1, respectively. The vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the protected region treated with EGCG hydrogel after PDT is lower than that of the control region treated with pure hydrogel, suggesting an efficiently reduced photodamage of Hemoporfin for blood vessels treated with EGCG. This study indicates that EGCG is an efficient quencher for triplet-state Hemoporfin and ¹O₂, and EGCG could be potentially used to reduce the undesired photodamage of normal tissue in clinical PDT.

Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) has been widely used to image the three-dimensional (3D) structures and functions of various millimeter-size bio-specimen such as zebrafish. However, the sample adsorption and scattering cause shading of the light-sheet illumination, preventing the even 3D image of thick samples. Herein, we report a continuous-rotational light-sheet microscope (CR-LSM) that enables simultaneous 3D bright-field and fluorescence imaging. With a high-accuracy rotational stage, CR-LSM records the outline projections and the fluorescent images of the sample at multiple rotation angles. Then, 3D morphology and fluorescent structure were reconstructed with a developed algorithm. Using CR-LSM, zebrafish’s whole-fish contour and blood vessel structures were obtained simultaneously.

Measurement of blood flow velocity is key to understanding physiology and pathology in vivo. While most measurements are performed at the middle of the blood vessel, little research has been done on characterizing the instantaneous blood flow velocity distribution. This is mainly due to the lack of measurement technology with high spatial and temporal resolution. Here, we tackle this problem with our recently developed dual-wavelength line-scan third-harmonic generation (THG) imaging technology. Simultaneous acquisition of dual-wavelength THG line-scanning signals enables measurement of blood flow velocities at two radially symmetric positions in both venules and arterioles in mouse brain in vivo. Our results clearly show that the instantaneous blood flow velocity is not symmetric under general conditions.

水下激光等离子体爆轰波能够作用于微球表面产生推力进而推动微球运动。本课题组依据水下激光等离子体爆轰波的作用机理，提出了激光等离子体爆轰波定点清除血栓的方法。以血液为介质建立血管血栓模型，采用光纤激光器作为动力，进行激光等离子体爆轰波血栓推进的机理研究及数值模拟。结果显示：激光等离子体爆轰波对血栓表面有一定大小的强推力作用，能量为20 μJ的激光对直径为2 mm的下肢静脉血栓表面的峰值推力可以达到1.0 N，而且峰值推力的大小取决于激光能量以及血栓的尺寸和形状。水下光纤激光等离子体推进微球和团簇实验进一步证明了激光等离子体爆轰波定点清除血栓和打散团簇的可行性，为聚集型血栓团簇的定点清除提供了一种可行方法。

白细胞分类在血液分析、临床疾病的诊断和治疗中具有重要意义。人工镜检作为血细胞分析的金标准，耗时较长且高度依赖检测人员的经验。定量相位成像可测量细胞各处的相位分布，是研究细胞形态学和生物化学特征的有效方法。利用基于数字全息显微和明场显微成像的共定位相位成像系统对健康人外周血涂片中的5种白细胞进行研究，定量分析了不同白细胞及其亚结构中的相位分布情况，提取出多个有效辅助白细胞分类的特征参数，并进一步分析了镜检中容易混淆的异型淋巴细胞。结果表明，利用提取的细胞亚结构特征参数可对白细胞进行有效分类，也能较好区分异型淋巴细胞。因此，基于共定位相位成像的细胞亚结构特征参数可为白细胞分类、各类血液疾病的诊断和治疗提供依据和参考，且此种方法无须再对常用的染色样品进行特殊处理，应用场景众多。

在基于近红外光谱法的无创血糖测量领域, 受人体皮肤状态波动的影响, 血糖预测模型无法长时间使用, 极大地限制了该方法在临床上的应用。 皮肤血流灌注是与人体生理状态密切相关的参数, 直接影响着皮肤中水分的流动, 它还难以像温度、 压力那样借助外部手段进行控制。 在皮肤光谱的测量中, 血流灌注会通过水分的迁移间接影响真皮层的厚度, 并使得光谱产生较大变化。 借助蒙特卡洛模拟方法仿真了在1 000~1 700 nm波段真皮层厚度变化±30 μm时三层皮肤的漫反射光强、 光子穿透深度与平均光程, 研究了真皮层厚度变化后的光谱变化规律。 对两个光源-探测器距离下的衰减度进行差分, 用于消除真皮层厚度变化的影响, 对1 000~1 700 nm的波长均给出了适宜的差分测量距离。 发现1 200 nm波长附近, 当真皮层厚度变化时, 漫反射衰减度在每个测量距离下的变化都非常小, 因此是较适宜的测量波长。 而对于水的吸收峰1 450 nm附近的波长而言, 漫反射衰减度随着光源-探测器距离的增加而变大, 且在一定范围内急剧变化; 因此, 应避免选择这些光源-探测器距离。 对于常用的血糖测量波长1 200、 1 300及1 600 nm波长而言, 光源-探测器距离可选在小于0.1 cm或大于0.4 cm的范围, 此处漫反射衰减度变化随着光源-探测器距离变化较缓慢, 采用差分处理可较好地消除真皮层厚度变化对光谱的影响。 考虑到不同光源-探测器距离下对应的真皮层光子百分比不同, 可选择主要对应于真皮层的光源-探测器距离, 该工作采取80 %真皮光子百分比为界限。 综上, 综合现有仪器能达到的测量精度水平, 对于1 200、 1 300和1 600 nm波长, 可选择0.03~0.1 cm范围内的两个光源-探测器距离进行差分测量, 可以较好地抑制真皮层厚度变化的影响, 从而有效减小皮肤血流灌注变动的影响。
