For the detection and identification of abnormal nodular tissues on the body surface, a microwave sensor structure loaded with a spiral resonator is proposed in this paper, a sensor simulation model is established using HFSS software, the structural parameters are optimized, and the actual sensor is fabricated. The S21 parameters of the tissue were obtained when nodules appeared by simulation, and the characteristic relationship between the difference of S21 parameters with position was analyzed and tested experimentally. The results showed that when nodules were present in normal tissues, the curve of S21 parameter difference with position change had obvious inverted bimodal characteristics, and the extreme value of S21 parameter difference appeared when the sensor was directly above the nodules, which was easy to identify the position of nodules. It provides an objective detection tool for the identification of abnormal nodular tissues on the body surface.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the irradiating effect of low intensive microwave (LIM) on pathological process of blood vessel restenosis(RS) and assess the probability of LIM irradiation to prevent was used RS.Methods Fortyfour male healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups. Fogarty catheter traumatize to the tunica intima of iliac artery so as to establish RS models. Two thousand four hundred and fifty MHz microwave with different power of 2 ,5 and 10 mW/cm2 was used, locally to irradiate EIA in irradiating group (1 h/d). Specimens were obtained at different time of 3,7,14 and 28 d after operation. Morphological changes of tissues were observed with HE and EF staining and the area of tunica intima, tunica media and the rate of cavity stenosis were analyzed with image analysis system; apoptosis was detected with TUNEL; phenotype and microstructure of VSMC were observed with TEM. Results After microwave irradiating, inflammatory reaction in early period was suppressed, mural thrombus decreased, the proliferation and migration of VSMC depressed, the area of tunica intima and the rate of cavity stenosis obviously reduced comparing with the control group (P<0.01). The rate of apoptosis cells showed that there were no obvious differences among each group on 3 d after operation (Pgt;0.05). At other different time, however, the rate of apoptosis cells in irradiating groups obviously increased than that of the control group (P<0.01), particularly in the one with power of 5 mW/cm2 .The number of synthesis form VSMC in the control group occupied (93.50±3.45)% of the total number of VSMC on 14 d after operation. Most of VSMC appear contractile in irradiating group in which a lot of morphological changes of apoptosis in fibroblast and VSMC existed.Conclusion LIM irradiation could obviously prevented from pathologic procedure of RS. After LIM irradiating, inflammatory reaction in early period is suppressed, the proliferation and migration of VSMC depressed. LIM irradiation promotes cell apoptosis, effectively prohibites the occurring and development of RS. LIM irradiation has had relationship between quantity and effect, power span to effectively prohibit RS, particularly in the one with power of 5 mW/cm2.
Objective
To determine the lipid peroxide damage in the primary cultured rabbit retinal ganglion cells induced by microwave.
Methods
Cultured rabbit retinal ganglion cells in vitro and exposed to 80 mW/cm2 of microwave for 15,30,45 min tespectively.Immediately after radiation,the morphological variation of cells was observed by optical microscope and transmission electronic microscope.Secondly,the activity of intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected.
Results
Aportion of cells congregated,with their axon disapeared after radiation.Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum revealed swelling under transmission electronic microscope.The content of MDA was increased obviously compared with control group while SOD decreased.The content of MDA as increased obviously compared with control group after 45 min radiation was 5.11 times,while SOD decreased.The content of MDA as in control and the ganglion cells were apparantly destroyed.

Twenty patients with chronic lymphedema had been treated by microwave heating. T-lympocyte subpopulation and HLA-DR phenotype of peripheral blood in patientswith lymphedema were examined by using dual colour flow cytometry before and after treatment. We found that CD4 (T helpe/inducer) in chronic lymphedema decreased significantly (Plt;0.01), HLA-DR increased significantly (P lt;0.05). After the microwave treatment, the CD4, CD4/CD8 ratio increased significantly; HLA-DR, HLA-DR+CD+8 lymphocyte reduced. It was clear that microwave could regulate the immunological disorder of lymphedema patients.
The existing one-time identity authentication technology cannot continuously guarantee the legitimacy of user identity during the whole human-computer interaction session, and often requires active cooperation of users, which seriously limits the availability. This study proposes a new non-contact identity recognition technology based on cardiac micro-motion detection using ultra wideband (UWB) bio-radar. After the multi-point micro-motion echoes in the range dimension of the human heart surface area were continuously detected by ultra wideband bio-radar, the two-dimensional principal component analysis (2D-PCA) was exploited to extract the compressed features of the two-dimensional image matrix, namely the distance channel-heart beat sampling point (DC-HBP) matrix, in each accurate segmented heart beat cycle for identity recognition. In the practical measurement experiment, based on the proposed multi-range-bin & 2D-PCA feature scheme along with two conventional reference feature schemes, three typical classifiers were selected as representatives to conduct the heart beat identification under two states of normal breathing and breath holding. The results showed that the multi-range-bin & 2D-PCA feature scheme proposed in this paper showed the best recognition effect. Compared with the optimal range-bin & overall heart beat feature scheme, our proposed scheme held an overall average recognition accuracy of 6.16% higher (normal respiration: 6.84%; breath holding: 5.48%). Compared with the multi-distance unit & whole heart beat feature scheme, the overall average accuracy increase was 27.42% (normal respiration: 28.63%; breath holding: 26.21%) for our proposed scheme. This study is expected to provide a new method of undisturbed, all-weather, non-contact and continuous identification for authentication.
OBJECTIVE To observe the character of local and systemic immune responses in chronic limb lymphedema, and to investigate the effect of microwave on immunological response. METHODS From November 1996 to February 1998, 27 patients with chronic limb lymphedema were adopted in this study. Among them, there were 11 males and 16 females, the average age was 36.6 years. These patients were classified as the experimental group and 10 healthy volunteers as the control group. Before and after microwave heating and bandaging treatment, T and B lymphocyte in peripheral blood and skin infiltrating cells in the patients and volunteers were detected and phenotyped with alkaline phosphatase-anti-alkaline phosphatase(APAAP) and avidin biotin peroxidase complex (ABC) immunohistochemical methods respectively. RESULTS There were decreases of CD4+ T lymphocyte and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in peripheral blood and predominant dermal perivascular T lymphocyte infiltration in chronic limb lymphedema patients. After two courses of microwave heating and bandaging treatment, it was found that the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes increased and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ was restored to normal levels, and dermal perivascular T lymphocyte infiltration decreased greatly. CONCLUSION Microwave heating and bandaging treatment can modulate the systemic and local immunological imbalance of chronic limb lymphedema.
Objective To evaluate the methodological and reporting qualities of randomize controlled trials involving MTC (microwave tissue coagulation) therapy for cervical erosion. Methods Through computer and handsearch, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and/or quasi-randomized controlled trials (quasi-RCTs) were collected. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using quality assessment criteria of Cochrane systematic review guideline, and the reporting quality was assessed using the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) checklist.Results Eleven clinical controlled trials (CCTs) were included. Three were RCTs and eight were quasi-RCTs. The methodological and reporting qualitiy of the included studies was generally low (10 trials ranked Level C, and the maximum CONSORT score was only 17).Conclusions The quality of the CCTs involving microwave therapy for cervical erosion is generally low with a high risk of biases. And the reporting of these trials is also incomplete. Therefore, more randomized controlled trials of high quality are required to provide reliable evidence.
