BACKGROUND: As a common secondary pathophysiological process in postischemic stroke (IS), cytotoxic brain edema (CBE) is an independent factor leading to poor prognosis of patients. Near-field coupling (NFC) technology has some advantages such as non-invasive, non-contact, and unimpeded penetration of the skull. In theory, it can reflect the difference between normal and edema tissues through the near-field coupling phase shift (NFCPS) in the electromagnetic wave transmission trait. METHODS: Combining NFC detection principle and computer programming, we established a high-performance real-time monitoring system with functions such as automatic setting of measurement parameters, data acquisition, real-time filtering and dynamic waveform display. To investigate the feasibility of this system to detect CBE, a saline simulation experiment and a 24-hour real-time monitoring experiment after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats were carried out. RESULTS: The results of the saline simulation experiment showed that the change of NFCPS was proportional to the increase of the simulated edema solution, and the variation range of NFCPS was more than 9∘ after 5 ml injection. In the 24-hour monitoring after MCAO, the NFCPS of the experimental group showed an overall downward trend over time an average change of -17.7868 ± 1.6325∘ and the change rate gradually decreased. The 24-hour NFCPS in the control group fluctuates slightly around the initial value, which has no obvious upward or downward trend. CONCLUSION: The intragroup and intergroup difference statistical analysis shows that NFCPS can effectively distinguish different intracranial pathophysiological states after IS. This work provides sufficient evidence and a technical basis for using NFCPS to monitor CBE in the future.

The breath gas analysis through gas phase chemical analysis draws attention in terms of non-invasive and real time monitoring. The array-type sensors are one of the diagnostic methods with high sensitivity and selectivity towards the target gases. Herein, we presented a 2 × 4 sensor array with a micro-heater and ceramic chip. The device is designed in a small size for portability, including the internal eight-channel sensor array. In2O3 NRs and WO3 NRs manufactured through the E-beam evaporator’s glancing angle method were used as sensing materials. Pt, Pd, and Au metal catalysts were decorated for each channel to enhance functionality. The sensor array was measured for the exhaled gas biomarkers CH3COCH3, NO2, and H2S to confirm the respiratory diagnostic performance. Through this operation, the theoretical detection limit was calculated as 1.48 ppb for CH3COCH3, 1.9 ppt for NO2, and 2.47 ppb for H2S. This excellent detection performance indicates that our sensor array detected the CH3COCH3, NO2, and H2S as biomarkers, applying to the breath gas analysis. Our results showed the high potential of the gas sensor array as a non-invasive diagnostic tool that enables real-time monitoring.
