Article Abstract
Background: Central venous blood gas (cVBG) values are correlated with arterial blood gas (ABG) values. However, the substitution of cVBG values for ABG values in critically ill patients remains uninvestigated. Thus, we investigated the reliability between cVBG and ABG values and sought to define the conditions that could improve the reliability of cVBG values as a substitute.
Methods: We conducted a prospective comparison of 292 sets of cVBG values and ABG values from 82 subjects admitted to the medical ICU between October 2017-July 2018. Paired cVBG and ABG samples were collected daily during the first 5 d of ICU treatment and on days 8, 15, 22, and 29. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LOA) were obtained.
Results: The ICC between ABG and cVBG was 0.626 for pH, 0.696 for P , 0.869 for bicarbonate, 0.866 for base excess, and 0.989 for lactic acid. Bland-Altman plots showed clinically unacceptable LOA between all parameters. Subgroup analysis indicated a significant increase in the ICCs of P in samples with mechanical ventilation (0.0574-0.735, = .02) and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO) ≥ 70% (0.611-0.763, = .008). After adjustment, the 95% LOA between ABG and cVBG was -0.06 to 0.07 for pH and -7.09 to 7.05 for P in mechanically ventilated subjects with ScvO ≥ 70%.
Conclusions: ABG and cVBG values showed clinically acceptable agreements and improved reliability in mechanically ventilated subjects with ScvO ≥ 70%. cVBG analysis may be a substitute for ABG analysis in mechanically ventilated patients once tissue perfusion is restored.

How to improve the quality of euglycemic glucose clamp tests in long-acting insulin studies.
Trials
February 2025
Department of Phase I Clinical Trial Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital of ChongQing Medical University, ChongQing, China.
Background: The euglycemic clamp test stands as the best method for assessing the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of long-acting insulin. However, despite its widespread use, there remains a notable absence of an established gold standard for evaluating the test's quality. Existing recommendations from regulatory agencies lack specific threshold values, particularly concerning long-acting insulin.

- Demonstrated a compact and efficient multi-stage pulsed amplifier with an output power of 450 W and high beam quality (M < 1.2) at a repetition rate of 1 MHz.
- Achieved optimal performance using a Yb:YAG thin rod configuration, maintaining effective operation at room temperature.
- Implemented pulse compression using a chirped volume Bragg grating, reducing pulse duration to about 730 fs with a 90% efficiency, making this system valuable for industrial and research applications.
Organ-Specific Positron Emission Tomography Scanners for Breast Imaging: Comparison between the Performances of Prior and Novel Models.
Diagnostics (Basel)
March 2023
Division of Positron Emission Tomography, Institute of Advanced Clinical Medicine, Kindai University, Osakasayama 589-8511, Japan.
The performances of photomultiplier tube (PMT)-based dedicated breast positron emission tomography (PET) and silicon photomultiplier tube (SiPM)-based time-of-flight (TOF) PET, which is applicable not only to breast imaging but also to head imaging, were compared using a phantom study. A cylindrical phantom containing four spheres (3-10 mm in diameter) filled with F-FDG at two signal-to-background ratios (SBRs), 4:1 and 8:1, was scanned. The phantom images, which were reconstructed using three-dimensional list-mode dynamic row-action maximum likelihood algorithm with various β-values and post-smoothing filters, were visually and quantitatively compared.

Aim: To explore the established method of the diabetic mouse blood glucose control model and preliminary observation of its influence on the retinas of diabetic mice.
Methods: The db/db BKS-DB (Lepr) mice were randomly divided into two groups: the poor blood glucose control group (PG group, =18) and the stable blood glucose control group (SG group, =12), with BKS-DB (Lepr) as the normal blood glucose control group (NG group, =18). According to the blood glucose values for 5 intervals which were monitored during the period of adaption, the PG group was injected with insulin aspart twice daily, fasted for 2h and then returned to normal.
