Dynamic perfusion digital radiography for predicting pulmonary function after lung cancer resection.

Background:Accurate prediction of postoperative pulmonary function is important for ensuring the safety of patients undergoing radical resection for lung cancer. Dynamic perfusion digital radiography is an excellent and easy imaging method for detecting blood flow in the lung compared with the less-convenient conventional lung perfusion scintigraphy. As such, the present study aimed to confirm whether dynamic perfusion digital radiography can be evaluated in comparison with pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy in predicting early postoperative pulmonary function and complications.Methods:Dynamic perfusion digital radiography and spirometry were performed before and 1 and 3 months after radical resection for lung cancer. Correlation coefficients between blood flow ratios calculated using dynamic perfusion digital radiography and pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy were then confirmed in the same cases. In all patients who underwent dynamic perfusion digital radiography, the correlation predicted values calculated from the blood flow ratio, and measured values were examined. Furthermore, ppo%FEV1 or ppo%DLco values, which indicated the risk for perioperative complications, were examined.Results:A total of 52 participants who satisfied the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Blood flow ratios measured using pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy and dynamic perfusion digital radiography showed excellent correlation and acceptable predictive accuracy. Correlation coefficients between predicted FEV1 values obtained from dynamic perfusion digital radiography or pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy and actual measured values were similar. All patients who underwent dynamic perfusion digital radiography showed excellent correlation between predicted values and those measured using spirometry. A significant difference in ppo%DLco was observed for respiratory complications but not cardiovascular complications.Conclusions:Our study demonstrated that dynamic perfusion digital radiography can be a suitable alternative to pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy given its ability for predicting postoperative values and the risk for postoperative respiratory complications. Furthermore, it seemed to be an excellent modality because of its advantages, such as simplicity, low cost, and ease in obtaining in-depth respiratory functional information.Trial registration:Registered at UMIN on October 25, 2017. https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr/ctr_his_list.cgi?recptno=R000033957Registration number: UMIN00002971

电弧风洞中基于TDLAS的气体温度和氧原子浓度测试

电弧风洞是对防热材料/结构进行地面考核的关键设备,其流场参数是评估设备性能和品质的关键数据。由于高温气流的恶劣环境,尚无有效诊断手段。本文使用可调谐二极管吸收光谱技术(TDLAS),针对气流中氧原子,选用氧原子特征吸收谱线(λ=777.2nm),测量了电弧风洞中水冷平头圆柱体模型脱体激波后的气体温度和氧原子数密度,试验测量与工程计算结果较为一致。试验显示出TDLAS具有高温电弧风洞应用的潜在优势

Experimental study on leak detection of cooling water in arc heater based on emission spectroscopy

电弧加热器是飞行器热防护系统地面考核试验的首选设备。电弧加热器在运行时,由于其电极工作在高温环境,普遍采用高压水进行冷却,试验中存在着由于电极烧穿漏水导致加热器严重烧损的风险。由于高温气流的恶劣环境,目前尚无有效监测手段。本文作者建立一套以氢原子Halpha( 656. 28nm)和氧原子( 777. 19nm)发射谱线作为目标谱线的发射光谱监测系统,通过分析电弧加热器故障条件和正常运行下高温流场中的发射光谱特性,诊断某高焓电弧加热器因烧蚀出现的电极漏水故障,并在考虑温度误差的前提下对该光谱测量系统测量灵敏度进行评估,获得了A、B 两种试验状态下的漏水探测极限: A 状态下约为1. 85 ~ 0. 94g /s; B 状态下,2. 12 ~ 0. 98g /s。试验结果表明,发射光谱应用于电弧加热器漏水故障诊断是切实可行的
