Abstract

Recent progress in the study of pulmonary surfactant is reviewed. The first half of this paper provides general background in both physiological and clinical perspectives. The second half focuses on the in vitro assessment of pulmonary surfactant using methods based on a drop shape technique, Axisymmetric Drop Shape Analysis (ADSA). Theories, experiments, and techniques of image analysis used in these ADSA methods are briefly described. Typical applications of these methods are discussed in detail. It is concluded that the accuracy, versatility, and simplicity of these ADSA methods render them suitable to the study of pulmonary surfactant.

Kurzfassung

In diesem Übersichtsartikel werden die neusten Fortschritte der Studien über Lungentenside vorgestellt. Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit wird ein allgemeiner Hintergrund aus der physiologischen und klinischen Perspektive gegeben. Der zweite Teil konzentriert sich auf die in-vitro Bewertung von Lungentensid, die auf Methoden der axialsymmetrischen Drop Shape Analyse (ADSA) basieren. Die Theorien, Experimente und Techniken der Bildanalyse dieser ADSA-Methoden werden kurz beschrieben und typische Anwendungen im Detail besprochen. Man kann folgern, dass die ADSA-Methoden aufgrund ihrer Genauigkeit, vielseitigen Verwendbarkeit und Einfachheit für Studien über Lungentenside geeignet sind.

Yi Y. Zuo received his M.Sc. from University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2001. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. with Dr. A. W. Neumann in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto. His research interest is in the surface tension measurements of lung surfactant systems, interfacial transport phenomena, and advanced image analysis for measuring the interfacial properties of biofluids.

Dr. A. W. Neumann received his Dr. Rer. Nat in Chemical Physics at University of Mainz, Germany in 1962, his habilitation in Physical Chemistry of Surfaces, at University of Stuttgart, Germany, in 1972. He is currently a professor emeritus at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto. His main research interests include: 1) fundamental surface thermodynamic studies from both experimental and theoretical points of view, e. g. contact angle interpretation and surface energetics; 2) development of novel methodologies in applied surface thermodynamics, e. g. application of image analysis and computer-aided techniques in measurements of surface thermodynamic properties such as surface tension, contact angle, and line tension; 3) applications of surface thermodynamics to the process of biomedical relevance, e. g. energetic characterization of biosurfaces, and most recently the study of lung surfactant.
