Abstract:

The superficial tangential zone (STZ) plays a significant role in normal articular cartilage’s ability to support loads and retain fluids. To date, tissue engineering efforts have not replicated normal STZ function in cartilage repairs. Finite element models were developed to examine the STZ’s role in normal and repaired articular surfaces under different contact conditions. Models were developed by incrementally adding improvements which culminated in contact loading of curved models by permeable and impermeable rigid surfaces and a normal cartilage layer. In the normal STZ, permeability was strain-dependent on volumetric strain; tension-compression nonlinearity modeled collagen behavior. Nonlinear geometry accounted for finite deformation. Results showed that STZ properties of sufficient quality maybe critical for the survival of transplanted constructs in vivo. As compared to rigid surfaces, loading via normal cartilage provided more physiologic results. These models can provide guidance in identifying critical features for the design of tissue engineered articular cartilage constructs.

Abstract:

Childhood obesity is on the rise, and many critics claim that environmental factors, such as screen-based media, are a contributing factor to this epidemic. Video games have gained popularity among this age group, especially exergames, which have researchers pondering the physiological effects of playing exergames. The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in heart rate achieved and maximum heart rate achieved between three exergaming systems, and to analyze the intensity level achieved while playing exergames. Twenty males and females ages 8-12 were in this study. Participants were allowed three sessions to become familiarized with equipment and were allowed to play three game systems: (1) Nintendo Wii, (2) Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), (3) Xbox Kinect. Heart rate monitors were worn on the wrist by each participant and were used to record heart rates during six exergaming sessions. Participants played one type of exergaming system for 30 minutes each session, collecting heart rate seven times. Heart rate data were compared to baseline measures, between the threeexergaming systems, and to heart rate thresholds of 50 percent and 70 percent of maximum heart rate. Repeated Measures ANOVA did not show significance for heart rate achieved and heart rate ranges achieved (p=0.563, p= 0.738 respectively). Sixty-four percent of participants achieved heart rates that ranged between set thresholds of 50 percent and 75 percent on all three exergaming systems. Thus, exergaming can be used as physical activity to supplement other forms of physical activity.

Fluid volume status is a physiologic parameter that currently lacks a reliable diagnostic tool. Volume control becomes an issue during sickness and/or stress (physical and mental) in a wide range of populations. Unfortunately, current diagnostics suffer from being imprecise, invasive, and/or easily confounded and cannot unambiguously and practically inform volume status. There exists a need for a tool that can inform individuals and clinicians of fluid status in a noninvasive, rapid, and reliable manner. Drawing on the molecular sensitivity of IH nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), we explored the ability of NMR methods to quantitate physiologic fluid volume changes. We first proved that NMR methods could detect volume changes in an animal model of dehydration. Correlation between NMR value changes in specific tissues and clinical tools used to assess dehydration validate NMR as a viable tool. We then proceeded to design and fabricate practical NMR sensors that could be easily integrated into the clinic. New methods of magnetic instrument design optimized for both field strength and spatial resolution were developed resulting in compact device prototypes with signal fidelity rivaling those of impractical commercial systems. Finally, we explored the ability of these devices to detect intravascular fluid changes during hemodialysis. Our methods and devices were able to detect intravascular blood property changes associated with blood dilution, in addition to overall fluid volume changes due to hemodialysis therapy. These results, methods, and devices provide the foundation and framework for the integration of NMR-based personalized fluid volume assessment into standard clinical practice.

Abstract:

Swallowing and cough are two vital functions that are reflexive in nature and are related to each other in terms of shared neural and anatomical space. When a disorder impacts normal and effective swallowing and/or cough, the consequences can be life-threatening. Evaluation and treatment of swallowing and cough disorders can fall under the scope of practice of the speech-language pathologist and speech-language pathologists often are leading professionals. Furthermore, much of the current research on swallowing and cough is spearheaded by speech-language pathologists often working with a multi-disciplinary team. The focus of this dissertation is on the clinical evaluation of cough and swallowing, practice patterns of voluntary cough assessment during the evaluation of swallowing, and novel methods of evaluating acoustic voluntary cough waveforms in patients with and without swallowing impairment. The results will provide important information regarding the state of cough assessment tools for clinical swallowing evaluation, clinical practice patterns of voluntary cough assessment, and differences in acoustic cough signals between safe and unsafe swallowers in individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Abstract:

Gossypol , a yellow polyphenolic pigment found in cottonseeds, is known to promote the production of reactive species of oxygen in vitro, and has toxic actions on spermatogenic epithelium, hepatocytes and cardiac myocytes in vivo. Species vary in tissue sensitivity to the toxic effects of gossypol. The spermatogenic epithelium is the most sensitive tissue to gossypol in rats, followed by the liver. Toxic effects to the rat heart are found only after prolonged administration of gossypol. The antioxidant defense system that protects cells from injury by reactive species of oxygen was examined in the present study to determine a possible pathogenesis for gossypol associated tissue damage. The concentrations of several hepatic antioxidants including catalase, glutathione peroxidase, ascorbate and copper-zinc superoxide dismutase were decreased in gossypol treated rats. Catalase, glutathione peroxidase, ascorbate and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were decreased in the testis. In contrast, antioxidants including catalase and glutathione reductase were increased in the hearts of gossypol treated rats. The selective inhibition of testis and hepatic antioxidants may account for the greater sensitivity of these organs to reactive oxygen species generated by gossypol. The rat heart may adapt to oxidative insult by inducing the production of antioxidants. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was decreased in the testis but not liver or heart of gossypol treated rats. This important enzyme is known to produce NADPH reducing equivalents for testosterone biosynthesis and the glutathione antioxidant system. In the present study, micromolar concentrations of gossypol inhibited glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in a competitive manner with respect to glucose-6-phosphate. This may explain the degeneration of spermatogenic epithelium as well as decreases in serum testosterone concentrations in gossypol treated rats. Gossypol is known to cause infertility in women and female rats. The present study found irregularities in the estrous cycles and ultrastructural changes in endometrial macula adherentes of gossypol treated female rats.

Recent advances in material processing are presenting groundbreaking opportunities for biomedical engineers. Projection-micro-stereolithography, or PuSL, is an additive manufacturing technique in which complex parts are built out of UV-curable resins using ultraviolet light. The primary strength of PuSL is its capacity to translate CAD files into three-dimensional parts with unusually small feature sizes (~0.5 microns). It is an ideal candidate, therefore, for making tissue scaffolds with sophisticated microscopic architecture. Nearly all multicellular biological tissues display a hierarchy of scale. In human tissues, this means that the mechanics and function of an organ are defined by structural organization on multiple levels. Macroscopically, a branching blood supply creates a patent network for nutrient delivery and gas exchange. Microscopically, these vessels spread into capillary beds shaped in an organ-specific orientation and organization, helping to define the functional unit of a given tissue. On a nano-scale, the walls of these capillaries have a tissue-specific structure that selectively mediates the diffusion of nutrients and proteins. To craft a histologically accurate tissue, each of these length scales must be considered and mimicked in a space-filling fashion. In this project, I sought to generate a cellular, degradable tissue scaffolds that mimicked native extracellular matrix across length scales. The research described here lays the groundwork for the generation of degradable, vascularized cell scaffolds that might be used to build architecturally complex multi-cellular tissues suitable for both pharmacological modeling and regenerative medicine.

Abstract:

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is defined by insufficient blood flow to limbs and can result in pain, gangrene, and amputation. Minimally invasive angioplasty treatments for PVD are common but suffer from high failure rates. We conducted three studies: 1) a systematic review to describe methods of intraoperative blood flow assessment; 2) a retrospective cohort study to describe the correlation between outpatient blood flow assessment and clinical outcomes; and 3) a prospective observational study to describe the reliability and association between intraoperative blood flow assessment and clinical outcomes. While limb blood flow is routinely assessed before and after interventions, intraoperative assessment has not been well described. Postoperative blood flow assessments are strongly correlated with clinical outcomes. Intraoperative blood flow assessment is feasible and strongly correlated with clinical outcomes. Intraoperative blood flow assessment may be a useful tool to guide intraoperative decision making.

Abstract:

Laboratory tests are a primary resource for diagnosing patient diseases. However, physicians often make decisions based on a single laboratory result and have a limited perspective of the role of commonly-measured parameters in enhancing the diagnostic process. By providing a dynamic patient profile, the diagnosis could be more accurate and timely, allowing physicians to anticipate changes in the recovery trajectory and intervene more effectively. The assessment and monitoring of the circulatory system is essential for patients in intensive care units (ICU). One component of this system is the platelet count, which is used in assessing blood clotting. However, platelet counts represent a dynamic equilibrium of many simultaneous processes, including altered capillary permeability, inflammatory cascades (sepsis), and the coagulation process. To characterize the value of dynamic changes in platelet count, analytical methods are applied to datasets of critically-ill patients in (1) a homogeneous population of ICU cardiac surgery patients and (2) a heterogeneous group of ICU patients with different conditions and several hospital admissions. The objective of this study was to develop a methodology to anticipate adverse events using metrics that capture dynamic changes of platelet counts in a homogeneous population, then redefine the methodology for a more heterogeneous and complex dataset. The methodology was extended to analyze other important physiological parameters of the circulatory system (i.e., calcium, albumin, anion gap, and total carbon dioxide). Finally, the methodology was applied to simultaneously analyze some parameters enhancing the predictive power of various models. This methodology assesses dynamic changes of clinical parameters for a heterogeneous population of ICU patients, defining rates of change determined by multiple point regression and by the simpler fixed time parameter value ratios at specific time intervals. Both metrics provide prognostic information, differentiating survivors from non-survivors and have demonstrated being more predictive than complex metrics and risk assessment scores with greater dimensionality. The goal was to determine a minimal set of biomarkers that would better assist care providers in assessing the risk of complications, allowing them alterations in the management of patients. These metrics should be simple and their implementation would be feasible in any environment and under uncertain conditions of the specific diagnosis and the onset of an acute event that causes a patient's admission to the ICU. The results provide evidence of the different behaviors of physiologic parameters during the recovery processes for survivors and non-survivors. These differences were observed during the first 8 to 10 days after a patient's admission to the ICU. The application of the presented methodology could enhance physicians' ability to diagnose more accurately, anticipate changes in recovery trajectories, and prescribe effective treatment, leading to more personalized care and reduced mortality rates.

Abstract:

This thesis evaluates novel electronic physiologic monitor potential in remote and rural search and rescue. Casualties are often located a considerable distance away from definitive care. Their rescue involves a variety of groups, including volunteer rescue teams. Rescuers manage a wide range of medical problems, from minor issues to more serious, life-threatening conditions. However, casualty monitoring is restricted by steep terrain and extreme environmental conditions. Evidence indicated that novel electronic physiologic monitors were in development. Some were lightweight and wireless – it was hypothesised that such technology could facilitate health monitoring, conferring benefits to casualties and their carers. Novel physiologic monitor potential was explored using a multi-method approach, involving four methodologically distinct pieces of research. This included a reverseengineering approach to define the rescue context. A thematic review of remote and rural casualty rescues identified a potential worldwide demand for a novel monitor, although only a small proportion of casualties had severe injury. A longitudinal analysis of UK remote and rural casualties confirmed a consistent mountain rescue casualty demand for monitoring. Injury was more frequent than illness and a majority of injury involved suspected fracture to the lower extremity. A qualitative study identified evidence of support for novel monitors amongst rescuer groups. However, some felt that the environment and the variety of rescuer first-aid and medical training could negate monitor potential. A laboratory-function study evaluated the performance of an example of a novel monitor under simulated rescue conditions. There was little effect of several layers of clothing and a mountain rescue casualty bag on data accuracy. Taking all the evidence gathered into consideration, it was concluded that novel electronic physiologic monitors did have potential in remote and rural search and rescue. A concept design for a rescue-specific physiologic monitor was proposed, including software, hardware and architecture for future use.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Implementation of Physiologic Pressure Conditions in a Blood Vessel Mimic Bioreactor System Kevin Mark Okarski Tissue engineering has traditionally been pursued as a therapeutic science intended for restoring or replacing diseased or damaged biologic tissues or organs. Cal Poly’s Blood Vessel Mimic Laboratory is developing a novel application of tissue engineering as a tool for the preclinical evaluation of intravascular devices. The blood vessel mimic (BVM) system has been previously used to assess the tissue response to deployed stents, but under non-physiologic conditions. Since then, efforts have been made to improve the vessel and bioreactor’s ability to emulate in vivo conditions. The ability to tissue engineer constructs similar to their native tissue counterparts is heavily reliant upon controlling the environment and mechanical stimuli the construct is exposed to. Mimicking physiologic conditions influences cellular growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Two important mechanical stimuli are cyclic strain and wall shear stress. Previous work sought to improve these factors within the BVM bioreactor and resulted in the implementation of pulsatile perfusion and increased fluid viscosity. These previous bioreactor design modifications generated pulsatile pressures of approximately 80 mmHg and a wall shear stress of 6.4 dynes/cm2. However, physiologic pressure waveforms were not achieved. Studies in this thesis were carried out to implement an effective means of establishing a more physiologic pressure wave within the bioreactor that is accurate, consistent, and easily adjustable. As a result of conducting the present studies, modifications to the bioreactor system were made that uphold the overall goals of efficacy and efficiency. The desired pressure wave was created by setting the degree of pump tubing occlusion on the 3-roller peristaltic pump head and using a water column to backpressure the bioreactor chamber. Maintaining a desired backpressure within the system necessitated the development of a new bioreactor chamber with increased extraluminal leak pressure resistance. The opportunity was also used to further improve upon the bioreactor chamber design to allow for 360° rotation to reduce cell sedimentation. Modifications to the bioreactor system required quantitative evaluation to assess their impact upon local flow dynamics to the tissue construct. A system model was created and evaluated using computational modeling. Through the work performed in this thesis, pulsatile pressure waves of approximately 120/80 mmHg were successfully established within the bioreactor. The ability to accurately model physiologic pressures will ultimately help yield tissue constructs more similar to native tissues – both healthy and pathological. The newly designed bioreactor chamber and computational model for the system will be helpful tools for implementing or evaluating future bioreactor developments or improvements. While the main objective of the thesis has been completed by creating a system capable of emulating physiologic pressure fluctuations, there still remains room for further improvements in back-pressuring and scaling the system, refining the rotational bioreactor chamber design, and building upon the complexity and accuracy of the computational model.

Abstract:

There is uncertainty in regard to the health implications of those persons who border between normal weight and morbid obesity. In this descriptive study, selected physiological responses to cholecystectomy in normal and overweight (20-40% above ideal weight) adults were investigated. Differences between the two groups were examined. In addition, this study determined if there are significant differences in situational variables related to the hospital stay of normal and overweight adults. A retrospective chart review was conducted on 59 normal (n = 22) and overweight (n = 37) adults who had experienced cholecystectomies. The outcome data, related to eight physiologic responses to surgery, included blood loss, purulent wound drainage, fever, pain, nausea, vomiting, intravenous therapy, and mobility. Data related to the hospital stay included length of stay, time in surgery, and time in postanesthesia care. Data analysis using t-tests demonstrated that the responses of normal and overweight subjects were not significantly different for the 14 research questions.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast within and between participant performance on three different measures of listening effort: a dual-task paradigm, pupillometry, and skin conductance; participants also subjectively rated the difficulty of their experience. A repeated measures design was used to address the reliability and validity of each measure. 20 participants were recruited and attended two sessions; the second occurred a minimum of one week after the first. Participants listened to sentences presented in stationary noise at four different signal-to-noise ratios: quiet, 0, -3, and -5 dB SNR. The variables of interest were: change in peak-to-peak pupil diameter, change in reaction time from baseline, skin conductance response amplitude, and skin conductance response quantity. The results indicated that as SNR decreased, speech perception performance decreased and subjective listening effort increased. Participants accurately and consistently rated the more difficult conditions as requiring more listening effort. The change in reaction time from baseline, peak-to-peak pupil diameter, and skin conductance response quantity increased as SNR decreased; skin conductance response amplitude did not vary as task difficulty increased, but skin conductance response amplitude was larger for incorrect responses than it was for correct responses. There was a significant practice effect observed for the reaction time data. The dual-task paradigm and pupillometry measures had the greatest reliability and validity. This study demonstrated that listening effort can successfully be quantified both subjectively and objectively by using a variety of tasks. Future studies may be able to use these measures to further assess listening effort in the clinic and in the real-world.

Organ transplantation is a valuable treatment for organ failure; however, it is limited by an increasing shortage of donor organs. Because of this, mechanical support has emerged as an effective therapy to promote recovery of native organ function, especially in the setting of acute heart failure. Acute heart failure is increasingly prominent and inadequately treated by traditional medical therapy. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices unload the heart by offering a range of support that reduces mortality and promotes cardiac recovery when correctly used. The challenge in use of these devices is the lack of metric-driven control for the level of support currently manually determined by a clinician. We hypothesize that optimization of device use requires novel insights in physiology and definition of organ state through an understanding of device-organ interconnectivity in support devices that are coupled with residual organ function. Thus, the goals of this work are to leverage the interaction between support device and organ to assess the state of the organ and then use this information towards improved device control and understanding of organ pathophysiology. The research program used an integrated approach of bench-top testing, animal models, and retrospective patient data to determine advanced markers of cardiac function using the Abiomed Impella as a paradigmatic device. We developed a mock circulatory loop to identify how MCS devices operate over the cardiac cycle during changing cardiovascular states. Parametric analysis revealed a hysteretic state-responsive relationship between the device and subject physiology. Since device operation is characterized using the MCL, unaccounted hysteresis changes can be attributed to variation in the cardiac state. We utilized this model to predict novel metrics of cardiac dynamics and easily-validated parameters of cardiac state in both acute animal models and retrospective patient data in which we accurately differentiated disease states and clinical outcomes. Finally, we investigated how MCS can affect downstream vascular response in animals and patients by analyzing arterial pressure waveforms with known device performance to quantify vascular state and device-vascular coupling.
