Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation of Blood Flow in Arteries with Structured-Tree Outflow Conditions

Blood flow in the large systemic arteries is modeled using one-dimensional equations derived from the axisymmetric Navier–Stokes equations for flow in compliant and tapering vessels. The arterial tree is truncated after the first few generations of large arteries with the remaining small arteries and arterioles providing outflow boundary conditions for the large arteries. By modeling the small arteries and arterioles as a structured tree, a semi-analytical approach based on a linearized version of the governing equations can be used to derive an expression for the root impedance of the structured tree in the frequency domain. In the time domain, this provides the proper outflow boundary condition. The structured tree is a binary asymmetric tree in which the radii of the daughter vessels are scaled linearly with the radius of the parent vessel. Blood flow and pressure in the large vessels are computed as functions of time and axial distance within each of the arteries. Comparison between the simulations and magnetic resonance measurements in the ascending aorta and nine peripheral locations in one individual shows excellent agreement between the two. © 2000 Biomedical Engineering Society.

Significance of emotional excitation in the mechanisms of spatial short-term memory in lower apes

Correlates of variation, in the level of emotional tension are studied in long-term experiments on. adult monkeys. The simultaneous appearance of the electrodermal response and of a change in the heart rate is shown to reflect more accurately a rise in the level of emotional tension. Continuous recording of autonomic indexes reveals an increase in tension level during the presentation of conditioned signals and the performance of the motor response in the spatial delayed response test program. The emotiogenic structures are thought to influence the specific mechanisms of short-term memory during the presentation of. conditioned signals and the performance of food-procuring instrumental behavior.Translated from Fiziologicheskii Zhurnal SSSR imeni I.

A Stochastic Nonlinear Autoregressive Algorithm Reflects Nonlinear Dynamics of Heart-Rate Fluctuations

Current methods for detecting nonlinear determinism in a time series require long and stationary data records, as most of them assume that the observed dynamics arise only from the internal, deterministic workings of the system, and the stochastic portion of the signal (the noise component) is assumed to be negligible. To explicitly account for the stochastic portion of the data we recently developed a method based on a stochastic nonlinear autoregressive (SNAR) algorithm. The method iteratively estimates nonlinear autoregressive models for both the deterministic and stochastic portions of the signal. Subsequently, the Lyapunov exponents (LE) are calculated for the estimated models in order to examine if nonlinear determinism is present in the deterministic portion of the fitted model. To determine if nonlinear dynamic analysis of heart-rate fluctuations can be used to assess arrhythmia susceptibility by predicting the outcome of invasive cardiac electrophysiologic study (EPS), we applied the SNAR algorithm to noninvasively measured resting sinus-rhythm heart-rate signals obtained from 16 patients. Our analysis revealed that a positive LE was highly correlated to a patient with a positive outcome of EPS. We found that the statistical accuracy of the SNAR algorithm in predicting the outcome of EPS was 88% (sensitivity=100%, specificity=75%, positive predictive value=80%, negative predictive value=100%, p=0.0019). Our results suggest that the SNAR algorithm may serve as a noninvasive probe for screening high-risk populations for malignant cardiac arrhythmias. © 2002 Biomedical Engineering Society.

Characterization of sports by the Vo2 dynamics of athletes in response to sinusoidal work load

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the specificity of maximal oxygen uptake (Vo_2max) and the dynamic response of oxygen uptake (Vo₂) to sinusoidal work load in distance runners and in American-football players. Sinusoidal work load during ergometer cycling was carried from 30 W to 60% to Vo_2max(60% Vo_2max) for a 2 min period. Vo₂ was measured by the breath-by-breath method. The subjects were 10 distance runners (DRs), 10 American-football players (AFPs), and 11 untrained men (UTM). Mean Vo_2max was 64.4 mL kg^-1 min^-1 in the DRs, 53.1 mL kg^-1 min^-1 in the AFPs and 47.3 mL kg^-1 min^-1 in the UTM. The fundamental amplitudes ofthe Vo₂ response, nomalized by dividing by steady state Vo₂ at 60% Vo_2max were similar in the AFPs (20.3%) and the UTM (19.5%), and both were significantly less than in the DRs (25.5%). Phase shift to work load expressed in degrees was similar in the AFPs (87.7d?) and UTM (88.0d?), but significantly greater than in the DRs (80.4d?). HR dynamics in all three groups were similar to a dynamic Vo₂ response. These findings suggest that development of the dynamic Vo₂ response and higher Vo_2max in the AFPs there is no improvement in the dynamic Vo₂ response. The results of the present study demonstrate that athletes participating in different sports have characteristic dynamic Vo₂ responses during cycling exercise.     

神经干细胞球生长动力学模型

神经干细胞的体外大规模培养对于细胞移植治疗中枢神经系统受损及各种神经退行性疾病有重大意义。体外呈球状生长的神经干细胞球在长大到一定尺寸之后，有可能在其内部由于养分缺乏而形成坏死细胞，这对于干细胞的有效扩增是极为不利的。因此，模拟神经球的动态生长过程并分析出现坏死细胞的临界神经球尺度对于神经干细胞的大规模扩增有重要意义。本研究采用元胞自动机技术建立了模拟神经球生长的动态模型，并结合神经球内养分的扩散传递模型，求解神经干细胞球内出现坏死细胞的临界神经球尺寸以及坏死细胞的扩大规律。计算结果表明，坏死细胞的出现与体外培养条件有一定关系；坏死细胞的出现主要取决于神经球的尺寸，其外部再好的培养条件也不可能抑制坏死的出现。此外，计算结果还表明，神经球内由于氧缺乏而形成的坏死细胞的出现要早于由于葡萄糖缺乏时的情况，并且坏死细胞一旦出现，其增长速度就非常快，有可能很快使整个神经球成为坏死细胞球。本研究所建立的CA模型及神经球内的传质模型可以很好的模拟神经球的生长过程。     

Predicting Skull Loading: Applying Multibody Dynamics Analysis to a Macaque Skull

Evaluating stress and strain fields in anatomical structures is a way to test hypotheses that relate specific features of facial and skeletal morphology to mechanical loading. Engineering techniques such as finite element analysis are now commonly used to calculate stress and strain fields, but if we are to fully accept these methods we must be confident that the applied loading regimens are reasonable. Multibody dynamics analysis (MDA) is a relatively new three dimensional computer modeling technique that can be used to apply varying muscle forces to predict joint and bite forces during static and dynamic motions. The method ensures that equilibrium of the structure is maintained at all times, even for complex statically indeterminate problems, eliminating nonphysiological constraint conditions often seen with other approaches. This study describes the novel use of MDA to investigate the influence of different muscle representations on a macaque skull model (Macaca fascicularis), where muscle groups were represented by either a single, multiple, or wrapped muscle fibers. The impact of varying muscle representation on stress fields was assessed through additional finite element simulations. The MDA models highlighted that muscle forces varied with gape and that forces within individual muscle groups also varied; for example, the anterior strands of the superficial masseter were loaded to a greater extent than the posterior strands. The direction of the muscle force was altered when temporalis muscle wrapping was modeled, and was coupled with compressive contact forces applied to the frontal, parietal and temporal bones of the cranium during biting.

Combined finite element and multibody dynamics analysis of biting in a Uromastyx hardwickii lizard skull

Lizard skulls vary greatly in shape and construction, and radical changes in skull form during evolution have made this an intriguing subject of research. The mechanics of feeding have surely been affected by this change in skull form, but whether this is the driving force behind the change is the underlying question that we are aiming to address in a programme of research. Here we have implemented a combined finite element analysis (FEA) and multibody dynamics analysis (MDA) to assess skull biomechanics during biting. A skull of Uromastyx hardwickii was assessed in the present study, where loading data (such as muscle force, bite force and joint reaction) for a biting cycle were obtained from an MDA and applied to load a finite element model. Fifty load steps corresponding to bilateral biting towards the front, middle and back of the dentition were implemented. Our results show the importance of performing MDA as a preliminary step to FEA, and provide an insight into the variation of stress during biting. Our findings show that higher stress occurs in regions where cranial sutures are located in functioning skulls, and as such support the hypothesis that sutures may play a pivotal role in relieving stress and producing a more uniform pattern of stress distribution across the skull. Additionally, we demonstrate how varying bite point affects stress distributions and relate stress distributions to the evolution of metakinesis in the amniote skull.

Couples d’âge mûr et sexualité : comprendre l’impact des dynamiques relationnelles

Increased life expectancy creates the prospect of prolonged marital intimacy. However, mature couples face many challenges — physiological, cultural, and familial — and they must be able to mobilize their individual and relational resources to maintain good levels of marital and sexual satisfaction. The aim of this study is to highlight various factors that contribute to the conjugal and sexual satisfaction of older couples, and to discuss the stressing of these factors in a crisis context. 534 participants aged between 18 and 74 years old answered several questionnaires measuring their degree of sexual and conjugal satisfaction as well as the areas of strength and fragility in the relational dynamics of their couple. In addition, five couples also accepted a semi-structured interview on their relationship dynamics and their vision of the ageing couple. The results highlight the major impact of several variables contributing to an increase in relational and sexual satisfaction within couples (e.g. health concerns, conflict management, fondness…). Furthermore, a comparison between the scores of the over-51s and the younger ones highlights the areas of strength of older partners. These different factors will be discussed. Finally, we will propone therapeutic advices aimed at supporting the areas of strength of mature couples in order to accompany them towards long-term relational and sexual fulfillment.
