A new ultrasonic apparatus operating at a frequency of 40 kHz was developed to dislodge biofilms from food processing equipment in order to assess the effectiveness of cleaning protocols. Sonication conditions to remove biofilms and quantification by ATP-bioluminescence are described. An industrial meat process was developed at the laboratory level to form a biofilm with industrial characteristics. Our results show that the biofilm removal by sonication during 10 s is reproducible and four times greater compared to the swabbing method (83% removal of fouling material against 20%). Unlike the swabbing method, this ultrasonic apparatus permitted the immediately demonstration of the inefficiency (within 1 min) of an industrial meat cleaning protocol. This apparatus is portable, easy to use and can be operated by unskilled users. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. An ultrasonic insect movement detector is described. Insect movement in an experimental chamber causes changes in an ultrasonic standing wave pattern: these changes are amplified and recorded, either as a continuous signal or as pulses. Results are presented from ground beetles, earwigs and a braconid parasite, showing that behaviour of these insects in the apparatus is similar to that assessed by other methods. 相似文献

An inexpensive, automatic digital recorder to measure the drinking frequency of mice was designed. When an animal licked the spout of the water bottle, it closed the path of the current of the amplifier input circuit and a module converted the closure signal into an electric pulse. A camera preset by a timer automatically photographed the counter which had accepted the pulse. The apparatus was inexpensive and estimated the drinking frequency of many mice individually and simultaneously. This system is applicable as a pulse-recorder to physical phenomena other than water intake. 相似文献

The erythrocyte aggregation phenomenon is an important factor in capillary circulation. This phenomenon can be evaluated by a number of methods (microscopic observations, viscometry, light measurements) which cannot be applied simply to in vivo measurements. In contrast, ultrasound which propagates through soft tissues allows measurement of the mechanical properties of red blood cell (RBC) suspensions which depend on the aggregation phenomenon. We devised an apparatus in order to measure in vitro the ultrasonic backscattering intensity of RBC suspensions. First, with latex particles of different sizes, the ultrasonic backscattering coefficient has been measured in order to evaluate the apparatus response. Then, the ultrasonic backscattering coefficient of different aggregated erythrocyte suspensions has been measured and correlated with the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Finally, the size of RBC aggregates of different suspensions has been evaluated. 相似文献

The use of an ultrasonic apparatus (40 kHz) for the non-destructive, rapid and reproducible removal of biofilm from standard materials (stainless steel and polypropylene) in a dairy factory was investigated. The application of ultrasound with the tested conditions (10 s and 40 kHz) was found not to be detrimental for standard ATP (concentration ranging between 5 x 10(-9) and 10(-5) mol 1(-1)) and for prokaryotic cells, including both rods and coccoid-shaped bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus). It allowed the use of the ATP bioluminescence measurement for quantifying the biofilm removal. The repeatability of industrial milk removal was determined on fouled stainless steel and polypropylene sheets. The variability of the results with the sonication method was constant, +/-24% (coefficient of variation) for both surfaces, and was variable with the swabbing method, +/-42% for the stainless steel sheet and +/-74% for the polypropylene sheet. The ultrasonic apparatus removed twice the amount of industrial milk biofilm compared with the swabbing method in the case of the polypropylene sheets. The apparatus was used to validate the industrial cleaning protocols of a milk factory. 相似文献

Using a photoacoustic technique it has been possible to observe fast oxygen evolution and uptake transients at a high time resolution (approx. 0.2 s), when a dark-adapted leaf is reilluminated. There is initially a rapid pulse of oxygen evolution, correlated with the initial fluorescence rise (total duration under the experimental conditions used about 1–2 s), corresponding presumably to the photoreduction of the plastoquinone pool. This phenomenon may be utilized to calibrate the oxygen-evolution photoacoustic signal. The first pulse is followed by a series of slower bursts of oxygen uptake and evolution, reflecting various pools which are expressed following sequential activation of various parts of the photosynthetic apparatus, until achievement of a steady state.Abbreviations and symbols RuBP

In laser flow cytometry, an increasingly popular technique of analytical cytology, quantitative measurements of interest include cell and nuclear diameters. Electronic circuitry for a new cell sizing technique has been developed which measured the time that signal pulses from either fluorescence or light scatter sensors exceed a preset constant fraction of the peak signal amplitude (pulse width) or the time that it takes a signal to rise between constant fractions of the peak signal amplitude on the rising side of the pulse (pulse rise-time). These pulse width or pulse rise-time measurements were related to cell or nuclear diameters and were used in combination to determine nuclear size to cell size ratios. This method of sizing was found to be independent of fluorescent or light-absorbing stain intensity, linearly related to cell or nuclear diameter, and capable of resolving small diameter differences. 相似文献

We describe an apparatus for the on-line evaluation of integrated backscatter from areas of tissue. The equipment is fully integrated into a B-mode ultrasonic system: there are therefore no new operating procedures to be learned. It provides a simultaneous display of conventional information, together with parameters of tissue characterization. The apparatus is fast and, over a broad diagnostic frequency range, may be used in conjunction with conventional equipment employing transducers. 相似文献

Hypophysial portal blood and peripheral blood were obtained from conscious, unrestrained rams to measure simultaneously the secretion of LHRH and LH in entire rams and rams which had been castrated for 2-15 days (short-term castration) and for 1-6 months (long-term castration). The apparatus for portal blood collection was surgically implanted using a transnasal trans-sphenoidal approach and, 4-5 days later, portal blood and peripheral blood were collected simultaneously at 10-min intervals for 8-9 h from 15 sheep. LHRH was clearly secreted in pulses in all three physiological conditions, but there were marked differences in pulse frequencies, which averaged 1 pulse/2-4 h in entire rams, 1 pulse/70 min in short-term castrated rams and 1 pulse/36 min in long-term castrated rams. In entire and short-term castrated animals, LH profiles were also clearly pulsatile and each LHRH pulse in hypophysial portal blood was associated with an LH pulse in the peripheral blood. In long-term castrated animals, LH pulses were not as well defined, because of the high basal levels and small pulse amplitudes, and the temporal relationship between LHRH and LH pulses was not always clear. These results demonstrate the pulsatile nature of LHRH secretion under the three physiological conditions and suggest that the irregular LH profiles characteristic of long-term castrates are due to an inability of the pituitary gland to transduce accurately the hypothalamic signal. The very high frequency of the LHRH pulses may be one of the major reasons for this, and is probably also responsible for the high rate of LH secretion in the long-term castrated animal. 相似文献

Diaphragm‐based optical fiber sensor for pulse wave monitoring and cardiovascular diseases diagnosis
Jingyi Wang Kewei Liu Qizhen Sun Xiaoling Ni Fan Ai Senmao Wang Zhijun Yan Deming Liu 《Journal of biophotonics》2019,12(10)
Arterial pulse wave has been considered as a vital sign in assessment of cardiovascular diseases. Noninvasive pulse sensor with compact structure, immunity to electro‐magnetic interference and high sensitivity is the research focus in recent years. While, optical fiber biosensor is a competitive option to meet these needs. Here, a diaphragm‐based optical fiber pulse sensor was proposed to achieve high‐precision radial pulse wave monitoring. A wearable device was developed, composed of a sports wristband and an aluminum diaphragm‐based optical fiber sensor tip of only 1 cm in diameter, which was highly sensitive to the weak acoustic signal. In particular, coherent phase detection was adopted to improve detection signal‐to‐noise ratio, so as to recover the high‐fidelity pulse waveforms. A clinical experiment was carried out to detect and morphological analyze the pulse waveforms of four subjects, the results of which preliminarily demonstrated the feasibility of pulse diagnosis method. The proposed pulse fiber sensor provides a comfortable way for pulse diagnosis, which is promising in early cardiovascular diseases indicating. 相似文献

Recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have shown potential for measuring non-uniform deformations throughout the volume (i.e. three-dimensional (3D) deformations) in small orthopedic tissues such as articular cartilage. However, to analyze cartilage deformation using MRI techniques, a system is required which can construct images from multiple acquisitions of MRI signals from the cartilage in both the underformed and deformed states. The objectives of the work reported in this article were to 1) design an apparatus that could apply highly repeatable cyclic compressive loads of 400 N and operate in the bore of an MRI scanner, 2) demonstrate that the apparatus and MRI scanner can be successfully integrated to observe 3D deformations in a phantom material, 3) use the apparatus to determine the load cycle necessary to achieve a steady-state deformation response in normal bovine articular cartilage samples using a flat-surfaced and nonporous indentor in unconfined compression. Composed of electronic and pneumatic components, the apparatus regulated pressure to a double-acting pneumatic cylinder so that (1) load-controlled compression cycles were applied to cartilage samples immersed in a saline bath, (2) loading and recovery periods within a cycle varied in time duration, and (3) load magnitude varied so that the stress applied to cartilage samples was within typical physiological ranges. In addition the apparatus allowed gating for MR image acquisition, and operation within the bore of an MRI scanner without creating image artifacts. The apparatus demonstrated high repeatability in load application with a standard deviation of 1.8% of the mean 400 N load applied. When the apparatus was integrated with an MRI scanner programmed with appropriate pulse sequences, images of a phantom material in both the underformed and deformed states were constructed by assembling data acquired through multiple signal acquisitions. Additionally, the number of cycles to reach a steady-state response in normal bovine articular cartilage was 49 for a total cycle duration of 5 seconds, but decreased to 33 and 27 for increasing total cycle durations of 10 and 15 seconds, respectively. Once the steady-state response was achieved, 95% of all displacements were within +/- 7.42 microns of the mean displacement, indicating that the displacement response to the cyclic loads was highly repeatable. With this performance, the MRI-loading apparatus system meets the requirements to create images of articular cartilage from which 3D deformation can be determined. 相似文献

The sol-gel transition of biopolymer mixtures has been investigated by rheological and ultrasonic measurements. A scaling analysis of the data was performed for both types of measurements. A gel time was determined from rheology for the pure pectin samples, and the data could be fitted to a universal scaling form near the transition point. Its critical exponents are in good agreement with the predictions of scalar percolation theory. In addition, the ultrasonic signal of the pectin samples close to the transition was analyzed in terms of a high-frequency scaling approach for the attenuation and the velocity. For the alginate samples and the mixtures, for which the gel point cannot be determined reliably from rheology, the ultrasonic measurements were analyzed using the same scaling form as for the pectin sample, thus providing a method for estimating the gel point, even in the absence of rheological data. 相似文献

The beta-galactoside alpha 2,6-sialyltransferase has been localized to the trans cisternae of the Golgi apparatus and the trans Golgi network where it transfers sialic acid residues to terminal positions on N-linked oligosaccharides. It is a type II transmembrane protein possessing a 9-amino acid amino-terminal cytoplasmic tail, a 17-amino acid signal anchor domain, and a 35-amino acid stem region which tethers the large luminal catalytic domain to the membrane anchor. Previous work has demonstrated that the soluble sialytransferase catalytic domain is rapidly secreted from Chinese hamster ovary cells. These results suggest that the signals for Golgi apparatus localization do not reside in the catalytic domain of the enzyme but must reside in the cytoplasmic tail, signal anchor domain, and/or stem region. To determine which amino-terminal regions are required for Golgi apparatus localization, mutant sialyltransferase proteins were constructed by in vitro oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, expressed in Cos-1 cells, and localized by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. Signal cleavage-sialyltransferase mutants which consist of only the stem and catalytic domain of the enzyme are not rapidly secreted but are retained intracellularly and predominantly localized to the Golgi apparatus. However, deletion of either the stem region or the cytoplasmic tail of the membrane-bound sialyltransferase does not alter its Golgi apparatus localization. In addition, sequential replacement of the amino acids of the sialyltransferase signal anchor domain with amino acids from the signal anchor domain of a plasma membrane protein, the influenza virus neuraminidase does not alter the Golgi apparatus localization of the sialyltransferase. These observations suggest that sequences in the signal anchor region and stem region allow the Golgi apparatus localization of the membrane-bound and soluble forms of the sialytransferase, respectively, and that both regions may contain Golgi apparatus localization signals. 相似文献

We evaluated a recently developed tail-cuff apparatus for the indirect blood pressure measurement in rats with special reference to the effects of ambient temperature. For this purpose, we designed two preparations 1) an intact preparation to determine the effect of ambient temperature on blood pressure measurements and 2) an anesthetized and catheterized preparation for comparison of the values of blood pressure obtained by the indirect and by the direct method. This apparatus also required enough pulse volume oscillations to measure the accurate value of blood pressure. Sufficient pulse volume oscillations were obtained within 20 min at 30 and 40 degrees C. At 40 degrees C, the values of blood pressure, pulse rate and rectal temperature were significantly higher than those at 30 degrees C. Correlation between blood pressure and rectal temperature was significant, and blood pressure increased with rectal temperature dependently. The values of the indirect measurement were close to the values measured directly, and these correlations were highly significant. Thus, we showed the effects of temperature for indirect blood pressure measurement. This tail-cuff apparatus could measure the accurate value of indirect blood pressure without thermal stress at 30 degrees C. 相似文献
