  • Patent number: 11940375
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of fiber-optic gas sensing and laser photoacoustic spectroscopy, and reliability of a gas detection system is improved by actively selecting a working frequency of low noise interference combined with an optical fiber photoacoustic sensing probe capable of isolating high-frequency noise. A gas enters a photoacoustic microcavity through gaps on a sound-sensitive diaphragm after diffusing into a miniature air chamber through a plurality of micropores. Photoacoustic excitation light is incident into the photoacoustic microcavity through a fiber-optic collimator and then excited to generate a photoacoustic pressure wave to cause the sound-sensitive diaphragm to vibrate periodically. An end face of a single-mode optical fiber and the sound-sensitive diaphragm constitutes a fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer. The interferometer measures a deflection of the diaphragm and inverts a concentration of the to-be-measured gas.

  • Publication number: 20230151425
    Abstract: Central Serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is primarily an ocular disease, affecting the choroid and the retinal pigment epithelium. To date, no systemic biomarker of CSCR have been discovered that could link both forms and help the diagnosis in challenging cases. In the present invention, the inventors measure in European cohorts of CSCR patients (n=168) with (n=90) or without epitheliopathy (n=78) and a cohort of 153 control subjects without any ocular disease history, the serum levels of NGAL and the NGAL/MMP9 complex. Serum NGAL (ng/ml) was significantly higher in the control group (108.8±46.8) than in the CSCR cohort (80.4±46.4, p<0.0001). Serum NGAL (ng/ml) was significantly lower in the acute/recurrent cohort (n=78, 71.3±32.1) than in the control and, than in the chronic cohort (n=90, 88.3±55, p=0.03). Similarly, Serum NGAL/MMP9 (ng/ml) levels was lower in the whole CSCR cohort (44.5±39.6) as compared to the controls (77.6±47.8, p<0.0001).
