In Situ Liquid-Phase-Adsorption Measurement System Based on Fiber-Optic Sensing with the Aid of Membranes.

ABSTRACT: At present, liquid phase adsorption (LPA) is still being quantitatively characterized in the way of manual sampling and off-line determination because of the complexity of the system comparing to gas adsorption. This paper describes a novel method for in situ, real-time measurement of LPA in general based on fiber-optic sensing (FOS) with the aid of membranes for the first time. A self-made measurement vessel was assembled from an adsorption bag, thermostatic devices with a stirrer, and a fiber-optic dipping probe. Also, macroporous adsorption resins (MARs) and rutin were chosen as model adsorbent and adsorbate to establish the FOS system. Here, in situ light absorption measurement was achieved by eliminating interference of adsorbent particles via encapsulating them with a membrane into the adsorption bag. In situ LPA measurement of rutin solution on MARs was obtained by detecting light absorption at 353 nm using dipping probe, in the broad concentration range from 0.3 to 60 mg/L with excellent linearity (R ² = 0.9996). In situ measurements of adsorption and desorption kinetics on five kinds of MARs with different polarities were systematically carried out, showing that the adsorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-model. As well as, the system was proved to be highly accurate and reproducible. More importantly, this method enabled to study the initial stage of the adsorption process, starting from the time of the first second, which is the most important part in the adsorption kinetics, and this is impossible for traditional sampling methods. The successful application of FOS to in situ measurement of LPA not only contributes to fast, automatic, and real-time monitoring of LPA process but also enriches the research connotation of adsorption.

Project description:To compare the diagnostic performance of automated imaging for glaucoma.Prospective, direct comparison study.Adults with suspected glaucoma or ocular hypertension referred to hospital eye services in the United Kingdom.We evaluated 4 automated imaging test algorithms: the Heidelberg Retinal Tomography (HRT; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) glaucoma probability score (GPS), the HRT Moorfields regression analysis (MRA), scanning laser polarimetry (GDx enhanced corneal compensation; Glaucoma Diagnostics (GDx), Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) nerve fiber indicator (NFI), and Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT; Heidelberg Engineering) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) classification. We defined abnormal tests as an automated classification of outside normal limits for HRT and OCT or NFI ? 56 (GDx). We conducted a sensitivity analysis, using borderline abnormal image classifications. The reference standard was clinical diagnosis by a masked glaucoma expert including standardized clinical assessment and automated perimetry. We analyzed 1 eye per patient (the one with more advanced disease). We also evaluated the performance according to severity and using a combination of 2 technologies.Sensitivity and specificity, likelihood ratios, diagnostic, odds ratio, and proportion of indeterminate tests.We recruited 955 participants, and 943 were included in the analysis. The average age was 60.5 years (standard deviation, 13.8 years); 51.1% were women. Glaucoma was diagnosed in at least 1 eye in 16.8%; 32% of participants had no glaucoma-related findings. The HRT MRA had the highest sensitivity (87.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 80.2%-92.1%), but lowest specificity (63.9%; 95% CI, 60.2%-67.4%); GDx had the lowest sensitivity (35.1%; 95% CI, 27.0%-43.8%), but the highest specificity (97.2%; 95% CI, 95.6%-98.3%). The HRT GPS sensitivity was 81.5% (95% CI, 73.9%-87.6%), and specificity was 67.7% (95% CI, 64.2%-71.2%); OCT sensitivity was 76.9% (95% CI, 69.2%-83.4%), and specificity was 78.5% (95% CI, 75.4%-81.4%). Including only eyes with severe glaucoma, sensitivity increased: HRT MRA, HRT GPS, and OCT would miss 5% of eyes, and GDx would miss 21% of eyes. A combination of 2 different tests did not improve the accuracy substantially.Automated imaging technologies can aid clinicians in diagnosing glaucoma, but may not replace current strategies because they can miss some cases of severe glaucoma.
