Objective To study the influence of CRT brightness on image reading. Methods Both physical testing and compared viewing were used in the study. (1) Setting the CRT brightness at high and low grade (the blank brightness of CRT was 112 cd/m 2 and 82 cd/m 2, respectively). (2) 21 films with the density ranging from 0.27 to 2.71 were digitized by a scanner and displayed on the CRT. The brightness of CRT that varied with film density was measured by a bright meter, then the relation chart between CRT brightness and the film density was drawn. (3) Thirteen films on which there were many small and low contrast signals were viewed on CRT by three doctors. The tested data were calculated by statistics (? 2 test, the difference was significantly marked when P 0.05), but the signals viewed in the lung were 87 and 29, and the difference was significantly marked (? 2=53.73, P

By software and signal analysis,visualization of medical NMR signals becomes possible.The T1,T2 resonance frequency value reflecting human tissue characteristics,and the FID,echo wave as well as other curves reflecting the intensity of signals,can contribute a lot to the teaching of the applied analysis of clinical NMR and MRI principles.

Objective:To investigate the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on the surgical treatment of radiation enteritis with intestinal obstruction.Methods:A total of 80 patients with radiation enteritis and intestinal obstruction admitted to the Department of General Surgery, the Eighth Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from June 2015 to December 2019 were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to the principle of baseline feature matching, with 40 cases in each group.Fourty cases in the control group received conventional surgical treatment combined with conventional rehabilitation intervention, while 40 cases in the observation group received conventional surgical treatment combined with ERAS intervention.According to hemoglobin (HGB), albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), transferrin (TRF), the nutritional status of patients in the two groups was compared before and after intervention.According to interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), hypersensitivity C-reactive protein (hs- CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), the changes of inflammatory factors in the two groups was compared before and after intervention.The immunoglobulin (Ig) A, G and M of the two groups was compared before and after intervention.The postoperative recovery and the incidence of postoperative complications was observed in the two groups.Results:After the intervention, the level of HGB(125.56±11.18) g/L, ALB(42.46±3.95) g/L, PA(0.28±0.03) g/L and TRF(2.60±0.30) g/L in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (102.95±11.12), (36.28±4.25), (0.20±0.05), (2.09±0.27) g/L, respectively, and the differences between the two groups were significant (all P<0.001). After the intervention, the level of IL-2(3.69±0.79) ng/L, IL-6(15.79±7.17) ng/L, IL-8(6.24±1.25) ng/L, hs-CRP(12.51±2.34) ng/L, TNF-α(1.51±0.68) μg/L in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(7.26±1.23) ng/L, (23.82±6.95) ng/L, (9.13±1.71) ng/L, (17.63±2.27) ng/L, (2.02±0.81) μg/L, respectively, and the differences between the two groups were significant ( P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.003). After the intervention, the level of IgA(1.92±0.63) g/L, IgG(11.36±1.26) g/L, IgM(2.01±0.57) g/L in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (1.62±0.49), (9.58±1.23), (1.60±0.47) g/L, respectively, and the differences between the two groups were significant ( P=0.020, <0.001, =0.001, respectively). In the observation group, the hospital stay(12.1±1.7) d, postoperative ambulation time (1.9±0.6) d and exhaust time (3.1±0.4) d was less than that in the control group(17.2±2.4) d, (2.8±1.0) d, (4.2±0.8) d, respectively, and there were significant differences between two groups(all P<0.001). The postoperative complication rate of 5.0%(2/40) in the observation group was significantly lower than 25.0%(10/40) in the control group (χ 2=6.275, P=0.012). Conclusion:The patients with radiation enteritis and intestinal obstruction treated by conventional surgery were given eras intervention, which improved the nutritional level, immune function and inflammatory stress reaction of the patients, improved the treatment effect of the patients, and shortened the hospitalization time.

A rapid and simple method for the determination of cyanide in blood was developed based on pinhole shell-isolated nanoparticles (pinSHINs)-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and an online lysis-purging and trapping approach.In the online lysis-purging and trapping device, the bound cyanide in blood can be cleaved through sulfuric acid acidification, and transferred into HCN volatile gas, then purged into alkaline solution to form NaCN solution, thus high-efficient liberation and entrapment of cyanide from the methemoglobin-bound form can be achieved.The pinSHINs substrate is quite stable to weaken the gold-dissolution effect caused by cyanide under strong alkaline condition, and therefore the detection window can be prolonged to 1 h comparing with 5 min of AuNPs.A limit of detection down to 10 μg/L and a linear range from 100-2000 μg/L in blood were achieved in this method.This method was further applied to rapid measurement of blood samples of cyanide exposed rats and clinic poisoned patients, which provided a sensitive, selective and reliable way for rapid detection of cyanide poisoning.

Objective To assess the value of pulmonary vascular permeability index in differentiating acute lung injury (ALI) from cardiac pulmonary edema. Methods Critically ill patients with acute pulmonary edema were included from May, 2004 to September, 2008. Patients were divided into two groups, the ALI group and the cardiac pulmonary edema group (C group). Pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) , intrathoracic blood volume (ITBVI) were determined by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output(PiCCO) system. Results ( 1 ) Thirty-four patients were enrolled, 22 cases in ALI group and 12 cases in C group. (2) The PVPI in patients of ALI group (2.7 ± 1.4) was higher than that of C group (1.9 ±0.6 ;P＜0.05). EVLWI and ITBVI did not have the significant difference between the two groups (P ＞0. 05). (3) PVPI was positively correlated with EVLWI(r = 0. 762) , negatively correlated with PaO2/ FiO2(r= -0.478). (4)ARDS was diagnosed in 13 cases, including 8 pulmonary cause(ARDSp) and 5 extra-pulmonary cause ( ARDSexp). PVPI, EVLW/ITBV and EVLWI of patients with ARDSexp were obviously higher than those with ARDSp. Conclusions PVPI may be useful for differentiating the types of pulmonary edema in the critically ill.

Objective To explore the relationship between image quality and different exposure intensity of digital radiography(DR).Methods Using a contrast-detail phantom Cdrad 2.0,observers evaluated images on the monitots when exposure parameters were 90 kV and mAs ranged from 0.5 to 16.0 mAs.Then calculate image quality figure(IQF),and ANOVA was used to analyze the difference of IQF under different radiation dose in 8 subjects.Results (1)When exposure parameters were 90 kV and mAs altered from 0.5 to 8.0 mAs.the IQF observed on the monitor was reduced,and the minimal value was 38.54±2.82.When mAs changing from 8.0 to 16.0 mAs.IQF observed on the monitor was increased,and the maximum was 44.33±2.35.(2)Under the different exposure condition,the difference of IQF values were statistically significant(F=60.35,P＜0.01).Conclusions With the increased exposure intensity,the image quality on monitor increased.When mAs was 8.0 mAs,image quality was the optimum When mAs was more than 8.0 mAs,the image quality on monitor reduced.

Objective To study the relationship between the selection of tube tension in digitalchest radiograph and image quality.Methods When tube current was fixed at 4 mAs, the choice of X-ray tube voltage changed from 60 to 120 kV.CDRAD2.0 contrast details phantom and normal human chest were exposed by X-ray system with 7 kinds of tube voltage (the difference between tube voltage was 10 kV) ,and the X-ray incidental dose of phantom surface was measured.Five radiologists with 3 years working experience evaluated the image quality on monitor and calculated the image quality factor (IQF) and image reading score.Statistics analysis was then performed by using ANOVA test and t test.According to the results, the optimum tube voltage range was determined.Results (1) The incidental dose of phantom surface increased with the higher tube voltage.(2)When the tube voltage was changed from 60 kV to 120 kV, the IQF value observed in CDRAD2.0 phantom image on monitor was 75.0±10.4,57.1±6.4,52.7±2.5,47.9±4.5, 46.0±3.8,46.0±2.8,45.2±3.5 ,there was significant statistical differences between groups(F=19.10, P<0.01).(3)The integrated score of the chest image quality in the tube voltage 90 kV and 120 kV were 12.4±0.9 and 13.0±0.7, respectively, and there was no statistical difference between two groups(t= 1.500,P>0.05).Conclusions (1)With the increase of tube tension,the display capacity of display device gradually strengthened.When the tube tension exceeded 90 kV, the increase of image quality on monitor was not evident.(2) With proper radiation dose, the value of tube tension in digital X-ray chest photograph was about 90 kV.

Objective To investigate the differences of pre-hospital delay time in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)between the advanced age group(>75 years old)and control group(≤75 years old).Methods Four hundreds patients with STEMI in the cardiology and emergency departments of the First Affiliated Hospital and Affiliated Luoyang Central Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to March 2015 were selected and divided into two groups according to the age,the ad-vanced age group (>75 years old)and control group(≤75 years old).The patients′data were inquired and recorded for conducting the statistical analysis.Results The proportion of pre-hospital delay time < 6 h in the advanced age group was significantly lower than that in the control group and the time for conducting coronary angiography was longer than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).The mortality rates of intra-hospital,on 30 d and half a year after discharge in the advanced age group were higher than those in the control group,the differences between the two groups were statistically signif-icant (P <0.05).Conclusion The advanced age patients receiving active therapy are relatively less,which is mainly due to the wor-ry on the age related adverse reactions.

Objective To establish a mouse model of lymph node metastasis of breast cancer cells by luciferase imaging assay,to monitor early process of lymph node metastasis,and to evaluate the effect of X-ray radiation therapy on tumor.Methods The mouse mammary cancer cell line 4T1-Luc expressing luciferase was inoculated subcutaneously into the paw pad of nude mice to establish a model of subcutaneous lymph node metastasis.The lymph node metastasis in nude mice was continuously observed by in vivo fluorescence imaging system,and the nude mice with early lymph node metastasis of breast cancer cells were divided into control group and treatment group randomly.The radiotherapy effect was observed by in vivo fluorescence imaging system and evaluated by the pathological changes of HE staining of tumor tissue.Results A mouse lymph node metastasis model of breast cancer cells was successfully established,and the volume of primary tumor in paw correlated with the fluorescence photon number positively (r =0.958,P ＜ 0.001).On the twenty-fourth day after inoculation,the fluorescence photon number in pad tumor and popliteal fossa tumor of treatment group were significantly decreased in comparison with the control group (t =32.58,P ＜ 0.05),and the inhibition ratio of radiotherapy on tumor growth approached to 85 ％.HE staining showed that the apoptosis and necrosis in irradiated tumor was obviously higher than that in control group.Conclusions Bioluminescence imaging technique can be used to evaluate the effect of X-ray on breast cancer suppression and lymph node metastasis in mice.
