Objective To develop a new type of respiratory inductive plethysmograph to achieve high signal-noise rate(SNR)and low system power cost,and also to eliminate the cross-talk between chest and abdominal band sensors.Method Either of the two bands was powered by a very high power oscillator in a very short time,and these two bands were switched on in turn.The sensor structure of the respiratory inductive plethysmograph was modified so that these two bands could be embeded in a shirt conveniently.Result With these new designs,the cross-talk between these two bands was greatly eliminated and high SNR and low system power cost were achieved.This new wearable respiration monitoring system is easy to use,and can be used for long time and ambulatory monitoring.Conclusion This new system meets the design requirement with excellent performance.With this new wearable respiration monitoring system,non-invasive measurement of ventilation and non-intrusive detection of sleep apnea event can be achieved.

Objective To research a set of information system to improve the ability of rescue on mobile hospital. Methods The industry server and shelter client were used for establishing the network system of medical information, which used telemedicine in satellite communication, analyzed hardware topology and software demand. The measures of increasing safety and reliability were provided. Results The medical information was transmitted by network to share; the transmitting speed of remote diagnosis was 768Kb/s and dynamic image in 25 frame per second. Conclusion The level of the hospital informationization was improved for designing the IMS in modular thought.

The wearable respiratory inductive plethysmograph(RIP) system is a non-intrusive respiratory monitoring system. Sleep monitoring was performed on 9 human subjects suspected of having sleep apnea hypersomnolence syndrome (SAHS) and 7 healthy volunteers using both the wearable RIP system and the conventional polysomnography(PSG), and the sensitivity and specificity of the wearable RIP system were analyzed by comparison with the PSG results. According to the characteristic of the wearable RIP system in detecting sleep apnea/hypopnea event, the diagnostic criteria of sleep apnea/hypopnea event were put forward. All subjects with SAHS diagnosed by the wearable RIP were confirmed by PSG,the sensitivity and specificity of the wearable RIP system for detecting sleep apnea/hypopnea events were 99.0% and 94.6% respectively. The wearable RIP system can be used reliably in detecting sleep apnea/hypopnea events. This system can be used at home for detecting the sleep apnea/hypopnea events non-intrusively.

Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease whose exact pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Metabolomics has been widely used in the field of life science to provide strong evidence for exploring the pathogenesis and biomarkers of diseases. In recent years, researchers have applied metabolomics to rosacea-related fields using sebum, tear, saliva, and serum samples. This review summarizes research progress on current metabolomics methods and the application of metabolomics in rosacea.

Rosacea is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease, and correct assessment of clinical symptoms and severity may facilitate treatment options. This review summarizes a range of subjective, semi-subjective and objective methods currently used in the assessment of rosacea severity, in order to provide useful tools for clinical assessment of rosacea severity and give guidance on treatment modification according to the therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on a rat model of hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP). Methods A total of 72 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group, Rheum officinale group, and fecal microbiota group, with 18 rats in each group. After 8 weeks of feeding with high-fat diet, the rats in the sham-operation group were given sham operation, and those in the other three groups were given retrograde pancreaticobiliary injection of 5% sodium taurocholate to induce acute pancreatitis; after modeling, the rats in the Rheum officinale group were given enema with Rheum officinale , and those in the fecal microbiota group were given enema with fresh fecal microbiota solution. Blood, pancreatic, and terminal ileal tissue samples were collected at 6, 24, and 36 hours after surgery. HE staining was used to observe histopathological changes of the pancreas and the intestine; an automatic biochemical analyzer was used to measure the serum levels of amylase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HLD-C); ELISA was used to measure the serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and endotoxin as an index for intestinal permeability. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t -test or the Tamhane T2 test was used for further comparison between two groups; the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the Bonferroni method was used for further comparison between two groups. Results Compared with the sham-operation group, the Rheum officinale group and the fecal microbiota group had no significant increase in the pathological score of the terminal ileum at 6 and 24 hours, and there was no significant difference between the fecal microbiota group and the sham-operation group at 36 hours (all P > 0.05). At 36 hours, the Rheum officinale group and the fecal microbiota group had a significantly lower serum level of amylase than the model group (all P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the Rheum officinale group had a significantly lower serum level of ALT at 36 hours ( P < 0.05) and a significantly lower serum level of AST at 24 hours ( P < 0.05), while the fecal microbiota group had a significantly lower level of ALT at each time point ( P < 0.05) and a significantly lower serum level of AST at 24 and 36 hours (all P < 0.05). The Rheum officinale group and the fecal microbiota group had significant reductions in the serum levels of TC and TG (all P < 0.05); compared with the Rheum officinale group, the fecal microbiota group had a significantly higher serum level of HDL-C at 24 and 36 hours (all P < 0.05), and compared with the model group, the fecal microbiota group had a significantly lower serum level of HDL-C at each time period (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the inflammatory indices IL-6 and TNF-α between the fecal microbiota group and the sham-operation group at each time point (all P > 0.05), and the Rheum officinale group had significantly higher levels than the sham-operation group (all P < 0.05); both the Rheum officinale group and the fecal microbiota group had a significantly lower serum level of endotoxin than the model group (all P < 0.05), and the fecal microbiota group had a significantly lower level of endotoxin than the Rheum officinale group within 6 hours of treatment ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Both Rheum officinale and fecal microbiota transplantation can improve tissue inflammation and intestinal permeability in HLAP rats and can improve lipid metabolism and alleviate the progression of pancreatitis to a certain extent, and fecal microbiota transplantation shows a better clinical effect than Rheum officinale alone, but more randomized controlled trials are needed for further investigation.
