CONCLUSIONS:Vitamin A acid combined with vitamin A,vitamin E,celecoxib shows obvious efficacy in the treatment of oral leukoplakia,it can effectively reduce clinical symptoms,improve immune function,with good safety.

BACKGROUND:In some clinical applications or special work conditions,extremely intonse 50 Hz AC intefference exists.As the amplifier's output reaches or is close to saturation,it cannot be suppressed by general anti-interference circuits or software algorithms.Themfore,the hardware circuit must be impreved to suppress this interference,thus obtajning the desired signals.OBJECTIVE:To introduce a biopotential amplifier,which can effectively suppress the impact of 50 Hz AC interference on the weak biomedical signals.DESIGN:Create a circuit model based on the advanced theoretical analysis,then make software emulation and finally design the actual circuit implementation.SETTINGS:the 305 Hospital of Chinese PLA:Institute of Aviation Medicine,Air Force of CIIinese PLA.MATERIALS:The experimentaIinstruments and analytical software were provided by the Institute of Aviation Medicine,Air Force of Chinese PLA:the high-voltage electrical field environment was provided by the 305 Hospital of Chinese PLA.METHODS:The first step was theoretical analysis at the Institute of Aviation Medicine,Air Force of Chinese PLA in 2005,then the 50 Hz anti-reference model was created.After that,the following three anti-reference measures were put forward:①Enhancing the common-mode input impedance of the overall circuit to remove the interference caused by the imbalance electrode impedance;②reducing the equivalent common mode input impedance of the instrument amplifier in the circuit by using a current source controlled by the comlnou mode voltage;③using the driven-right-leg circuit to reduce the common mode voltage.Moreover,emulation analysis was made for the above circuit model by using the circuit emulation software TINA PRO.Through ceaseless improvement of the circuit model,the correct emulation results were obtained.In 2006,the Circuit model helped us realize the electrocardiogram(ECG)amplifier that could suppress the 50 Hz AC intefference effectively in intense interference environments.And that amplifier was put into practical use in the high-voltage electrical field environment produced by the high-voltage electrical field treatment equipment in the 305 Hospital of PLA.The result was satisfying:the 50 Hz AC interference was suppressed effectively and the high-quality ECG signals were obtained.MlAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Common-Mode Rejection Ratio(CMRR)and the frequency spectrum of signals obtained in intense intefference environment,which are used to assess the ability against the 50 Hz AC interference.RESULTS:A 100 ù resistor or a 200 kù resistor were connected in series in the input loop so as to produce the imbalance electrode impedance status.When the imbalalice electrode impedance was 100 ù,the amplifier output was 1.69 Mv,and CMRR was 125.8 Db.When the imbalance electrode impedance was 200 k ù,the amplifier output was 1.78 Mv,and CMRR was 125.3 Db.Two voltage sources(20 Hz,amplitude of peak to peak value 50 ì V,opposite phases)were used to produce differential mode signals.The amplification gain was 1000 times.In the input loop of the circtilt mentioned above,a 200 kù resistor was connected in series to create the inabalance electrode impedance status.The amplifter output the peak-to-peak value 50 Mv.The fast Fourier transform(FFT)frequency spectrum of the output wave contained no 50 Hz spectrum line.CONCLUSION:Through the emulation experiment and the real application.we can all find that the amplifier has good signal amplification performance and anti-interference capabillty in intensive 50 Hz AC interference environments and severe imbalance electrode impedance Status.

SUMMARY Lymphoma is a systemic disease. It is not uncommon to be found involved in digestive or central nervous system. However, lymphoma involved in these two systems at the same time is rare. The clinical feature of a case of lymphoma with gastrointestinal bleeding and limbs weakness was investigated and the literature was reviewed. The patient came to our hospital with melena and hematemesis. She was diagnosed as gastric ulcer by gastroscopy and biopsy showed lymphoma. Two days after she came to hospital, the patient presented with progressing limbs weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed irregular abnormal signals in T2-T4 vertebra, which was enhanced obviously. A strip abnormal signal could be seen in spinal cord and involved in neighboring centrum and ribbing. The lesion extended to paravertebral tissue. The final diagnosis was lymphoma involved in stomach and spinal cord. Diseases presented with both upper digestive tract bleeding and symptoms of central nervous system were rare, including malignancies, virus infection and some therapy. Lymphoma was one of the causes. On the other hand, spinal cord ischemia might occur after gastrointestinal bleeding. Thus, doctors should examine the patients carefully to diagnose these diseases.
