Bone architecture assessment with measures of complexity.

Architectural changes in trabecular bone by osteoporosis were utilized as a model for the changes which probably occur in human bone while exposed to microgravity conditions. Although there are many concerns about microgravity-induced bone loss, little is known about the impact of microgravity on the three-dimensional architecture of the skeleton. 50 (level L3) and 57 (level L4) vertebral bones harvested from human cadavers were investigated by computed tomography (CT) and quantified in terms of bone mineral density (BMD). Based on the symbol-encoded transformed CT-images, five measures of complexity were developed which quantify the structural composition of the trabecular bone. This quantification determines the bone architecture as a whole. Depending on the specific measure of complexity and its relation to BMD, a 5-10% change of BMD is related to a 5-90% change in structural composition. The method requires a non-invasive CT-procedure of the lumbar spine resulting in a radiation exposure of about 30 microSv effective dose. The technique is useful for the evaluation of the bone status of space-flying, personnel as well as for patients on ground. Grant numbers: BMH1-CT92-0296.

一种低复杂度的Multi-h CPM相干解调算法及FPGA实现

多调制指数连续相位调制（Multi-h Continuous Phase Modulation,Multi-h CPM）是一种恒包络调制,具有多个周期出现的调制指数,因此其频谱效率和功率效率比单调制指数CPM更高,但其接收机的复杂度也随之增加。本文在倾斜相位（Tilted Phase,TP）的基础上采用频率脉冲截断（Frequency Pulse Truncation,FPT）和状态空间分割（State Space Partition,SSP）相结合的方法来降低多调制指数连续相位调制的复杂度,使相位状态由512降低到16,理论损耗约为0.8 dB。同时,对降低复杂度的解调算法在现场可编程门阵列（Field Programmable Gate Arrays, FPGA）上进行了验证。仿真和在线测试的误码率曲线接近理论分析曲线,和常用的128状态解调算法相比,资源消耗降低了约59%。

Bone loss during long term space flight is prevented by the application of a short term impulsive mechanical stimulus

In long term space flight, the mechanical forces applied to the skeleton are substantially reduced and are altered in character. This reduced skeletal loading results in a reduction in bone mass. Exercise techniques currently used in space can maintain muscle mass but the mechanical stimulus provided by this exercise does not prevent bone loss. By applying an external impulsive load for a short period each day, which is intended to mimic the heel strike transient, to the lower limb of an astronaut during a long term space flight (5 months), this study tests the hypothesis that the bone cells can be activated by an appropriate external mechanical stimulus to maintain bone mass throughout prolonged periods of weightlessness. A mechanical loading device was developed to produce a loading of the os-calcis similar to that observed during the heel strike transient. The device is activated by the astronaut to provide a transient load to the heel of one leg whilst providing an equivalent exercising load to the other leg. During the EUROMIR95 mission on the MIR space station, an astronaut used this device for a short period daily throughout the duration of the mission. Pre- and post-flight measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) of the os-calcis and femoral neck of the astronaut were made to determine the efficacy of the device in preventing loss of bone mineral during the mission. On the os-calcis which received the mechanical stimulus, BMD was maintained throughout the period of the flight, while it was reduced by up to 7% on the os-calcis which received no stimulus. Post-flight, BMD in both the stimulated and non-stimulated os-calcis reduces, the extent of this reduction however is less in the stimulated os-calcis. For the femoral neck, the mechanical stimulation does not produce a positive effect.

Bone and body mass changes during space flight

Long duration space flight has shown us that humans have significant bone loss and mineral changes because they are living in microgravity. Skylab and the longer Salyut and Mir missions, are providing us useful data and allowing us to explore the mechanism involved in skeletal turnover. Bone redistribution occurs throughout space flight with bone loss predominately in the weight bearing bones of posture and locomotion. The primary health hazards which may occur during space flight induced by skeletal changes include signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia, and the risk of kidney stones and metastatic calcification. After flight lengthy recovery of bone mass and the possible increase in the risk of bone fracture should be considered. Continued research studies are being directed toward determining the mechanisms by which bone is lost in space and developing more effective countermeasures by both the US (Schneider and McDonald, 1984 and Schneider, LeBlanc & Huntoon, 1993) and Russian (Grigoriev et. al., 1989) space programs.

针对深空探测器现有的任务规划方法在处理系统间复杂约束时存在的约束复杂度高、实时响应能力差、计算效率低等问题,提出一种新的约束简化方法和启发式连续任务规划方法。首先,在时间线规划模型中根据两两子系统间的实时状态关系定义启发式因子,并利用该因子在规划周期内的取值建立子系统间时间线临时从属关系,从而合理地降低规划过程中的约束复杂程度;然后,在规划算法中采用时间线状态扩展策略,根据时间线临时从属关系对各子系统间的状态进行横向和纵向扩展,从而实现对目标任务规划进行快速排序。仿真结果表明由启发式因子建立的时间线临时从属关系有效简化了任务规划过程中的时间约束和资源约束、提高了任务规划的效率和灵活性。     

Medical considerations for extending human presence in space

The prospects for extending the length of time that humans can safely remain in space depend partly on resolution of a number of medical issues. Physiologic effects of weightlessness that may affect health during flight include loss of body fluid, functional alterations in the cardiovascular system, loss of red blood cells and bone mineral, compromised immune system function, and neurosensory disturbances. Some of the physiologic adaptations to weightlessness contribute to difficulties with readaptation to Earth's gravity. These include cardiovascular deconditioning and loss of body fluids and electrolytes; red blood cell mass; muscle mass, strength, and endurance; and bone mineral. Potentially harmful factors in space flight that are not related to weightlessness include radiation, altered circadian rhythms and rest/work cycles, and the closed, isolated environment of the spacecraft. There is no evidence that space flight has long-term effects on humans, except that bone mass lost during flight may not be replaced, and radiation damage is cumulative. However, the number of people who have spent several months or longer in space is still small. Only carefully-planned experiments in space preceded by thorough ground-based studies can provide the information needed to increase the amount of time humans can safely spend in space.

Precision bone and muscle loss measurements by advanced, multiple projection DEXA (AMPDXA) techniques for spaceflight applications.

An advanced, multiple projection, dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (AMPDXA) scanner system is under development. The AMPDXA is designed to make precision bone and muscle loss measurements necessary to determine the deleterious effects of microgravity on astronauts as well as develop countermeasures to stem their bone and muscle loss. To date, a full size test system has been developed to verify principles and the results of computer simulations. Results indicate that accurate predictions of bone mechanical properties can be determined from as few as three projections, while more projections are needed for a complete, three-dimensional reconstruction.     

Bone effects of space flight: analysis by quantum concept of bone remodelling.

During the manned Skylab flights mineral losses from the calcaneum and changes in external calcium balance were in the ranges found for healthy subjects at bedrest. Calcium balance reached a nadir of -200 mg/day by two months with no change thereafter; the negative balance was due to increased urinary excretion with no change in net absorption. The total calcium loss averaged 18 g in the longest flight of 84 days; the densitiometric data suggested that about two-thirds of this came from trabecular bone and about one-third from cortical bone. These data could represent reversible bone loss due to increased birth rate of normal osteoclasts and osteoblasts and consequent increase in bone turnover and in reversible mineral deficit, or irreversible bone loss due to overactive osteoclasts and/or underactive osteoblasts. If the former explanation is correct, significant bone loss is unlikely whatever the duration of future flights, except in older persons already losing bone; if the latter explanation is correct, space flights longer than six months may lead to a significant increase in fracture risk in later life. Neither terrestrial immobilization nor unwilling animals in orbit are ideal models for the effects of space flight on human bone. To choose between reversible and irreversible mechanisms of bone loss, and to determine the effects of space flight on lifelong fracture risk, future astronauts and cosmonauts must undergo adequate histologic study of bone after in vivo tetracycline labeling.
