Abstract:
Little information is available on the structure or mechanical properties of the human ascending aorta (AA). Most studies to date have assumed homogeneous tissue mechanical properties. The objective of this study was to investigate the local variation in AA tissue structure and mechanics. Healthy and pathologic tissue samples of human AA were obtained at autopsy and surgical pathology. Each aortic ring was sectioned into quadrants; anterior, posterior, medial (inner curvature) and lateral (outer curvature). Samples from each quadrant were processed for histological analysis and biaxial

Coronary heart disease (CHD) continues to be one of the foremost contributors to morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Leading risk factors that include elevated blood pressure, hypercholesterolaemia, tobacco use, sedentary lifestyles and excess caloric consumption significantly contribute to these alarmingly high mortality rates and prompt the search for targeted interventions that are clinically effective.

Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, and are estimated to kill over 17 million people each year, about 31% of all deaths. In the clinic, the first diagnostic procedure for a suspected cardiac abnormality is often acquisition of an electrocardiogram (ECG), which measures the electrical potential of the heart at the body surface. Understanding the mechanisms underlying generation of the ECG waveforms is crucial for optimal clinical benefit. Computer simulations possess several strengths as a tool to gain this understanding, particularly in terms of human-specificity,

Abstract:
博士<br>國立中山大學<br>生物科學系研究所<br>98<br>The methods of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and DNA sequencing were used to analyze the ribotypes of microbial communities associated with corals. Both healthy and diseased coral of different species were collected at three locations off the southern coast of Taiwan. Ribotyping results suggested that the microbial communities were diverse. The microbial community profiles, even among the same species of corals from different geographical locations or different times, differ significantly. The coral-associated bacterial communities contain man

Abstract:
Auto-fluorescence emission of plant tissues can be a powerful reporter on plant biochemistry and physiology since it originates in substances inherent to primary or secondary metabolism. Plant bodies contain a plethora of intrinsic fluorescent compounds emitting practically all wavelengths of visible light. Moreover, the spectrum of fluorescent reporter signals was recently extended by a variety of fluorescent proteins that provide a new tool to mark whole cells or sub-cellular structures, study protein localization and monitor gene expression and molecule interactions. The imaging of such flu

We attempt to verify the correlation of the so-called pulse spectrum energy ratio which was presented by the famous Chinese Medicine book “Acupuncture Science and Technology (針灸科學與技術)” The experiments focus on measuring the ECG signal of two groups: The patients who are suffering by the heart diseases, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension and the healthy people. The measured signals are processed by the
