Objective:In the clinical mechanical ventilation practice, the medical workers often set the ventilator parameters only depend on their own experience. In order to change that,we design a Closed-Loop Automatic Mechanical Ventilation Controller.Methods: Design two closed-loop control subsystems to meet the requirements of closed-loop control system. PETCO2 control subsystem used to keep the concentration of PETCO2, and another subsystem design to regulate the respiratory elasticity called PEEP control subsystem. PETCO2 control subsystem can work on its own or work with PEEP control subsystem.Results: Using this closed-loop controller, the partial CO2 pressure and respiratory elasticity of patient was regulated in real time.Conclusion:By using this closed-loop automatic mechanical ventilation controller, the respiratory elasticity was largely reduced with the adequate gas exchange. Therefore, the ventilator using this closed-loop automatic mechanical ventilation controller can improve the ventilation quality and also reduce the risk of lung injury.

Objectives To track bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) labeled by enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and superparamagnetic iron oxide ( SPIO ) -poly-L-lysine (PLL) compound by MRI in vitro for autotransplantation into pancreas of type 1 diabetes miniature pigs. Methods The BMSCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and attachment culture from type 1 diabetes minipigs' bone marrow. Expressional intensity of EGFP in BMSCs transfected lentivirus-EGFP with a multiplicity of infection Different magnetic resonance scanning protocols were carried out on various density BMSCs labeled by different concentration of SPIO in various time-point in vitro. Results When SPIO concentration was 25mg/L (count in Fe3 + ), the positive Fe3+ -labeling rate of BMSCs was 93. 1%. Most of SPIO particles in BMSCs' cytoplasm were observed in secondary lysosomes, but they were not detected in important organelle as cell nucleus. Comparing with gelatin the MRI of BMSCs labeled with SPIO in the condition with 1 ×104/ml cells density and 25 mg/L Fe3+ concentration in vitro, the signal intensity changes (△SI) after BMSCs labeled with SPIO 3 weeks and 6 weeks in TSE T1WI, TSE T2WI and FLASH T2 * WI sequences were 12%, 41%, 63% and 7%, 28%, 46% respectively (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively).Conclusions The data showed that the porcine BMSCs labeled with SPIO and EGFP could be traced successfully in vitro by MRI in the suitable sequences.

Objective:
To explore the related factors and working way of adolescent injury,and to provide a basis for the effective prevention and intervention of adolescent injury.
Methods:
The framework of the questionnaire in this study was developed based on the Social Ecology Model. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a valid sample of 4 309 students from 8 junior high schools and 8 senior high schools in Beijing and Zhongshan city respectively, using stratified random cluster sampling method. Students from grade 7 to grade 12 were invited to participate and investigated with injury prevalence.
Results:
The incidence of adolescent injury by person and by person-time was 15.53% and 22.49% respectively, and there were differences by sex, age and regions(χ2=15.92,11.45,20.33,P<0.05). The occurrence of adolescent injury was affected by adolescent psychological behavior and social environment through different underlying pathways. The intrapersonal factors and perception of environmental safety showed direct effects on the adolescents’ injuries (effect size was 0.29 and 0.05 respectively, P<0.05).
Conclusion
Adolescent injury is associated with diverse factors and pathways in a synergistic and complex manner, suggesting that a three-dimensional and diverse strategy should be taken to intervene the injures.

This study investigated the inhibitory effect of the extract of fungi of Huaier (EFH) on the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells.Hep-G2 cells,a human HCC cell line,were cultured in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum and treated with EFH of different concentrations (1,2,4,8 mg/mL) for 24,48 and 72 h respectively.The apoptosis rate of the cells was flow cytometrically measured.Thirty-six tumor-bearing New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups:group A (control group),in which the rabbits were infused with 0.2 mL/kg normal saline via the hepatic artery;group B (transhepatic artery chemoembolization [TACE] group),in which the rabbits were given lipiodol at 0.2 mL/kg plus MMC at 0.5 mg/kg via the hepatic artery;group C (TACE +EFH group),in which EFH (500 mg/kg) were orally administered after TACE.Two weeks after TACE,the rabbits were sacrificed and the implanted tumors were sampled.The tumor volume and the necrosis rate were determined.The tumor tissues were immunohistochemically detected for the expressions of factor Ⅷ,VEGF,P53,Bax and Bcl-2.The microvessel density (MVD) was calculated by counting the factor Ⅷ-positive endothelial cells.Our results showed that after treatment with EFH,the apoptosis rate of Hep-G2 cells was enhanced in a concentration- and time-dependent manner.Two weeks after the treatment,the average tumor volume,the necrosis rate and the growth rate of the implanted tumor in group C were significantly different from those in groups A and B (P<0.05).MVD and VEGF expressions were significantly decreased in the group C when compared with those in groups B (P<0.05 for all).The Bax expression was weakest in group A and strongest in group C.The expressions of P53 and Bcl-2 were minimal in group C and maximal in group A.There were significant differences in the expressions of P53,Bax and Bcl-2 among the 3 groups (P<0.05 for all) and there was significant difference between group B and group C (P<0.05).It was concluded that EFH could suppress not only the growth of HCC cells but also tumor angiogenesis and it can induce the apoptosis of HCC cells.EFH serves as an alternative for the treatment of HCC.

Human norovirus (NoV) is a member of the calicivirus family, can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea as the main clinical symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. Human norovirus infection can be popular in the world, all ages, causing serious burden of disease. Due to the lack of suitable small animal models, there is still a lack of understanding of human immune to norovirus infection and pathogenesis. Murine norovirus (MNV) was originally isolated in immune deficient mice, and causes infection and epidemic in mice. MNV provides an alternative model to study human norovirus infection and the host intestinal immune mechanism. This article will elaborate on two aspects of innate immunity and adaptive immunity.
