S2001 field X-ray vehicle is used to perform X-ray examination in the field hospital, while the disadvantages of the traditional film-screen radiography restrict its role of field examination in this digital era. By analyzing the detail of modern digital X-ray radiography, and comparing three different digital X-ray flat detectors, a solution is put forward to update S2001 field X-ray vehicle to a field digital X- ray radiography vehicle by using Canon CXDI digital X- ray detector.

Early diagnosis of inflammation and properly interfere to improve the prognosis are very important.However,it is difficult to verify inflammation or differentiate inflammation from infection in clinic,especially in the condition of underlying inflammation.Currently,radiopharmaceuticals based on researches of pathophysiology progress of diseases are studied constantly.This review summarizes the potential inflammation imaging radiotracers and their mechanisms,potential clinical application value.

MicroRNAs(miRNAs) are small mm-coding RNA molecules that post-transcriptionul-ly regulate gene expression. Advanced studies show that miRNA are involved in cancer. Even some scientists regard miRNAs as oncogenes or tumor associated genes. This review tries to have a brief introduction on the progress in the relationship between miRNAs and tumor's formation,development,diagnosis,therapy and prognosis in humans.

Objective To establish a model of immune-mediated inner ear disease(IMIED) and to compare the efficacy of dexamethasone between systemic application and round window adminstration. Methods The guinea pigs were injected with keyhole limpet hemocyanin(KLH) mixed with complete Freund's adjuvant subcutaneouly in the back,and were boosted with KLH mixed with incomplete Freund's adjuvant two weeks later.Meanwhile,a small piece of gelatin sponge full of KLH was delivered on the round window through operation.Thus established a model of IMIED.Micro-osmotic pumps were used to deliver dexamethasone through the round window(PBS control group also set),and systemic application was implemented by intraperitoneal injection.The efficacy was compared by recording auditory brain-stem response(ABR) before and after the treatment. Results None of the 6 guinea pigs in the control group experienced significant hearing loss,while 22 of the 39 guinea pigs in the experiment group suffered from hearing loss beyond 10 dB.Seventeen guinea pigs with hearing loss no less than 15 dB were divided into three groups randomly and were given different treatment.Those(n=6) treated by local application through the round window enjoyed the efficacy and the mean ABR threshold decreased 13.3 dB.Four out of the 6 treated by systemic application enjoyed the efficacy and the mean ABR threshold decreased 13.7 dB.No efficacy was observed in the PBS group. Conclusion The model of IMIED can be successfully induce by KLH through the round window,and dexamethasone administered through the round window is as efficacious as systemic application.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of every 3-week regimen of oxaliplatin (OXA) plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin(CF)as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.Methods:Ninety eight patients with stage Ⅱ to stage Ⅲ colorectal cancer received every 3-week OXA plus 5-FU/CF adjuvant chemotherapy for six cycles after resection surgery. All the patients received a complete reexamination every 3 months after the end of adjuvant chemotherapy. The disease-free survival period and 1- and 2-year disease-free survival rates were observed.Results:The total 2-year disease-free survival rate was 74.5%. It was 87.0% for stageⅡpatients and 63.5% for stage Ⅲ patients. The main adverse reaction included peripheral neurotoxicity, neutropenia and diarrhea at grades Ⅰ to Ⅱ. Grades Ⅲ to Ⅳ adverse reactions occurred rarely.Conclusion:The every 3-week OXA combined with 5-FU/CF adjuvant chemotherapy regimen had definite efficacy and good tolerance, which was a rational choice of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of the number of negative lymph nodes on disease free survival (DFS) of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Methods: A total of 485 patients who underwent surgery for gastric cancer were enrolled in this study. We analyzed the data of these patients including complete information of follow-up and definite postoperative pathological results. The disease free survival of all patients was more than 6 months and was analyzed according to the pathological stage respectively. COX regression analysis was performed to screen the independent prognostic factors. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the disease free survival curve and the disease free survival rate was compared among subgroups. Results: Cox regression analysis showed that the disease free survival rate of gastric cancer patients with pathological stage T_3N_(0～2)M_0 was significantly associated with age, degree of tumor differentiation, tumor location as well as the number of negative lymph nodes. In the T_3N_0M_0 subgroup, when the number of negative lymph nodes was 1 to 4 and 5 or more, the 2-year disease free survival rate was 8.3% and 55.6%, respectively, and the 3-year disease free survival rate was 0 and 24.9%, respectively (P=0.025).In the T_3N_1M_0 subgroup, when the number of negative lymph nodes was 3 or less, 4 to 9, and 10 or more, the 2-year disease free survival rate was 17.3%, 39.1%, and 52.6%, respectively, and the 3-year disease free survival rate was 4.2%, 6.0%, and 17.1%, respectively (P<0.001). In the T_3N_1M_0 subgroup, when the number of negative lymph nodes was 7 or less and 8 or more, the 2-year disease free survival rate was 11.5% and 35%, respectively, and the 3-year disease free survival rate was 0.8% and 5%, respectively (P=0.015).Conclusion: For gastric cancer patients with pathological stage T_3N_(0～2)M_0, the number of negative nodes could reflect the level of regional lymph node dissection. The number of negative nodes can be an index for evaluation of the accuracy of pathological staging and is considered as an independent prognostic factor for disease free survival of gastric cancer patients.

Objective For drinking water deep treatment,this study compared the abilities of several common domestic products of activated carbon in virus removal from water through adsorption. Methods This study compared the abilities in virus removal of two types of granular activated carbon (GAC) materials (domestic product made of coconut shell) and one type of activated carbon fiber (ACF) material (domestic product made of mucilage glue-based ACF felt) under a fixed condition (phosphate buffered saline-PBS solution,pH =7.3,25 ℃) and the abilities of one of the above two GAC types under various conditions (before and after pretreatment,15-35 ℃,pH= 6.0-8.4,concentration of Ca2+ 0-500 mg/L,ionic strength 0-0.1 mol/L). The tested virus was the indicator phages obtained from sewage with an enterobacterium (Escherichia coli 285). Results The removal process with the GACs followed the first order kinetic model (R2: 0.83-0.99),whereas that of the ACF did not (R2: 0.44-0.64),with the rate constants of 0.505 3-2.606 8 (GACs) and 0.219 2-0.413 8 (ACF). Pretreatment (boiling for 2 h and then washing in deionized water) could both increase and decrease the removal effects,depending on the GAC sources. Different abilities in virus removal were found between the two GACs with their comparative outcomes depending on if they were subject to the pretreatment; higher levels of temperature,Ca2+ concentration,and ionic strength,and slight acidic and alkaline conditions favored virus removal. Calculation from the first order kinetic simulation showed that: the removal percentage within 15 min was around 30% with the highest 40% and the lowest 5%; and the maximum removal during the experimental period of 5 h reached 5-log. Although the amount (1 g) of the GACs used was ten times of that of the ACF (0.1 g),the measured values showed that the latter had faster initial removal rates than the former. Conclusion The three domestic products of activated carbon showed a large difference in their abilities to remove the viruses from water through adsorption with their comparative outcomes depending on the experimental conditions. If the short duration (about 15 min) currently employed in activated carbon treatment process is considered,it will be necessary to study the ways in promoting virus removal through adsorption onto the activated carbon materials of domestic products used in this experiment.

Background Researches have suggested that the defocus can induce the change of static visual acuity,but whether it produce influence on dynamic visual acuity is not clear.Objective This study was to investigate the impact of myopic defocus on static visual acuity and dynamic visual acuity and explore the essential difierence between static visual acuity and dynamic visual acuity. Methods Forty volunteers were enrolled in this trial.including 20 adults with the age of 27.4±1.64 years and 20 children with the age of 11.70+1.49 years.All the eyes of subjects received regular examined to excluded the eye disease with the best corrected vision of ≥1.0 D,astigmatism of ≤0.75 D and anisometropia ＜1.50 D.+1.00 D,+1.50 D,+2.00 D,+2.50 D slasses were ware respectively for the defocus on the foundation of full correction.Dynamic visual acuity was inspected by using selfmade DVA-I training software.and static visual acuity wag tested by static visual acuity chart (Precision Vision,CAT.NO.2125).This clinical trial complied with the Helsinki Declaration and obtained the approval of Ethic Committee of Wenzhou Medical College.Written informed consent was received from each individual prior to the protocol. Results The dynamic and static visual acuities were gradually decreased with the elevation of defocus (F=506.907,P=0.000).No significant differences were found between static visual acuity and dynamic visual acuity in adult or children at various defocus(P＞0.05).The regression linear analysis showed that a positive correlation between static visual acuity with defoeus(R2=0.819,t=26.72,P=0.000) or dynamic visual acuity with defoeus(R2=0.826,t=27.42,P=0.000).The slope and intercept between defocus with static visual acuity were steeper than that between defocus and dynamic visual acuity (slope:F=34.18,P=0.000;intercept:F=1005.56,P=0.001). Conclusion The effect of defocus on static visual acuity is different from that of dynamic visual acuity.It could be speculated that dynamic visual acuity is related not only to refractive systems but also other factor.
