The study was performed in a 16-slice Computed Tomography (CT) system of LightSpeed RT16 Xtra CT scanner. Quality control was done using a vendor-provided QA Phantom, and the six aspects of image quality were measured. For CT dosimetry, Computed Tomography Dose index volume (CTDIvol) was performed using Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) Phantom. CTDI Phantom consists of three parts: Pediatric Head, Adult Head, and Adult Body Phantom. A 10 cm long pencil ion chamber DCT-10 was used to measure the dose at different positions inside the CTDI Phantom. Data were collected using MagicMax Universal software. For dose estimation of the CTDIvol Report of AAPM Task Group, 96 and 111 formalisms were used. For Pediatric Head, Adult Head, and Adult Body Phantom the measured CIDIvol was 61.04 mGy, 48.11 mGy, and 18.08 mGy respectively. The study has shown deviations of 7%, 15%, and 19% between estimated and console-displayed doses for Pediatric Head, Adult Head, and Adult Body scan techniques respectively. The six aspects of image quality measured by QA Phantom were found to be compatible with the specifications of the machine and CTDIvol measured by CTDI Phantom were found within a tolerance limit of ±20%. Hence, the QC and dosimetry of the mentioned machine are within the limit.展开更多

文摘Indoor air quality(IAQ)is often overlooked,yet a poorly maintained environment can lead to significant health issues and reduced concentration and productivity in work or educational settings.This study presents an innovative control system for mechanical ventilation specifically designed for university classrooms,with the dual goal of enhancing IAQ and increasing energy efficiency.Two classrooms with distinct construction characteristics were analyzed:one with exterior walls and windows,and the other completely underground.For each classroom,a model was developed using DesignBuilder software,which was calibrated with experimental data regarding CO_(2) concentration,temperature,and relative humidity levels.The proposed ventilation system operates based on CO_(2) concentration,relative humidity,and potential for free heating and cooling.In addition,the analysis was conducted for other locations,demonstrating consistent energy savings across different climates and environments,always showing an annual reduction in energy consumption.Results demonstrate that mechanical ventilation,when integrated with heat recovery and free cooling strategies,significantly reduces energy consumption by up to 25%,while also maintaining optimal CO_(2) levels to enhance comfort and air quality.These findings emphasize the essential need for well-designed mechanical ventilation systems to ensure both psychophysical well-being and IAQ in enclosed spaces,particularly in environments intended for extended occupancy,such as classrooms.Furthermore,this approach has broad applicability,as it could be adapted to various building types,thereby contributing to sustainable energy management practices and promoting healthier indoor spaces.This study serves as a model for future designs aiming to balance energy efficiency with indoor air quality,especially relevant in the post-COVID era,where the importance of indoor air quality has become more widely recognized.

文摘In order to further enhance the numerical application of weather radar radial velocity,this paper proposes a quality control scheme for weather radar radial velocity from the perspective of data assimilation.The proposed scheme is based on the WRFDA(Weather Research and Forecasting Data Assimilation)system and utilizes the biweight algorithm to perform quality control on weather radar radial velocity data.A series of quality control tests conducted over the course of one month demonstrate that the scheme can be seamlessly integrated into the data assimilation process.The scheme is characterized by its simplicity,fast implementation,and ease of maintenance.By determining an appropri-ate threshold for quality control,the percentage of outliers identified by the scheme remains highly stable over time.Moreover,the mean errors and standard deviations of the O-B(observation-minus-background)values are significantly reduced,improving the overall data quality.The main information and spatial distribution features of the data are pre-served effectively.After quality control,the distribution of the O-B Probability Density Function is adjusted in a manner that brings it closer to a Gaussian distribution.This adjustment is beneficial for the subsequent data assimilation process,contributing to more accurate numerical weather predictions.Thus,the proposed quality control scheme provides a valuable tool for improving weather radar data quality and enhancing numerical forecasting performance.

文摘Neurodegenerative disorders(NDDs)are prevalent chronic conditions characterized by progressive synaptic loss and pathological protein alterations.Increasing evidence suggested that mitochondrial quality control(MQC)serves as the key cellular process responsible for clearing misfolded proteins and impaired mitochondria.Herein,we provided a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms through which MQC mediates the onset and progression of NDDs,emphasizing mitochondrial dynamic stability,the clearance of damaged mitochondria,and the generation of new mitochondria.In addition,traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs)and their active monomers targeting MQC in NDD treatment have been demonstrated.Consequently,we compiled the TCMs that show great potential in the treatment of NDDs by targeting MQC,aiming to offer novel insights and a scientific foundation for the use of MQC stabilizers in NDD prevention and treatment.

文摘Mitochondria play a crucial role in maintaining the normal physiological state of cells.Hence,ensuring mitochondrial quality control is imperative for the prevention and treatment of numerous diseases.Previous reviews on this topic have however been inconsistencies and lack of systematic organization.Therefore,this review aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of mitochondrial quality control and explore the possibility of targeting the same for the treatment of major diseases.This review systematically summarizes three fundamental characteristics of mitochondrial quality control,including mitochondrial morphology and dynamics,function and metabolism,and protein expression and regulation.It also extensively examines how imbalances in mitochondrial quality are linked to major diseases,such as ischemia-hypoxia,inflammatory disorders,viral infections,metabolic dysregulations,degenerative conditions,and tumors.Additionally,the review explores innovative approaches to target mitochondrial quality control,including using small molecule drugs that regulate critical steps in maintaining mitochondrial quality,nanomolecular materials designed for precise targeting of mitochondria,and novel cellular therapies,such as vesicle therapy and mitochondrial transplantation.This review offers a novel perspective on comprehending the shared mechanisms underlying the occurrence and progression of major diseases and provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the clinical implementation of innovative therapeutic strategies that target mitochondrial quality control for treating major diseases.

文摘Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a disease that affects the vision of elderly individuals worldwide.Although current therapeutics have shown effectiveness against AMD,some patients may remain unresponsive and continue to experience disease progression.Therefore,in-depth knowledge of the mechanism underlying AMD pathogenesis is urgently required to identify potential drug targets for AMD treatment.Recently,studies have suggested that dysfunction of mitochondria can lead to the aggregation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase(cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes(STING)innate immunity pathways,ultimately resulting in sterile inflammation and cell death in various cells,such as cardiomyocytes and macrophages.Therefore,combining strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammatory mediators may hold great potential in facilitating AMD management.Notably,emerging evidence indicates that natural products targeting mitochondrial quality control(MQC)and the cGAS/STING innate immunity pathways exhibit promise in treating AMD.Here,we summarize phytochemicals that could directly or indirectly influence the MQC and the cGAS/STING innate immunity pathways,as well as their interconnected mediators,which have the potential to mitigate oxidative stress and suppress excessive inflammatory responses,thereby hoping to offer new insights into therapeutic interventions for AMD treatment.
