Progress and Prospect of Rolling Technology

Advances in Optical Imaging and Biomedical Science Symposium

This symposium was held on June 1-2, 2009 at NIH. The meeting was organized by NEI and jointly supported by NEI and NIBIB as a part of the NEI 40th Anniversary Symposia Series. The meeting brought together many of the world’s leading experts in ocular imaging technology to discuss the current state of the art in optical coherence tomography (OCT), adaptive optics (AO), fluorescence imaging, and...

Review and prospect of the biomedical effects of hydrogen

Hydrogen, the simplest gas in nature, was recently reported as a therapeutic antioxidant through selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals. Though hundreds of studies on curative effects of hydrogen were published and justified, the mechanism remains unclear. We proposed several promising directions in this area by relatively in-depth analysis. Firstly, the physiological function of hydrog...

[The progress and prospect of prepulse inhibition in autism].

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) is suppression of the startle reflex when an intense startling stimulus is preceded by a weaker sensory stimulus (the prepulse). It is an operational measurement of sensorimotor gating mechanism to help human adapt to complex environment. This weak prepulse protect central cognitive processing by damping the effect of intense stimuli. Autistics cannot select out behavi...
