Objective To study the relationship among the area of transverse section of radial artery, the major axis length of the ellipse with same centroid as transverse section, the maximum centroid displacement in the direction parallel with skin surface in a cardiac cycle and width of pulse tracing. Methods ECG, pressure phygmograms and ultrasound images of transverse section of radial artery of 40 patients with different width of pulse tracing and 20 healthy persons were collected synchronously with a new-type sphymograph. On the basis of images analysis with MATLAB 7.0.1, image characteristics of transverse section of radial artery and centroid motion locus of pulse tracings with different width in a cardiac cycle were observed and analyzed. Results Between pulse tracings with different width, there were significant differences in the area of transverse section of radial artery, the major axis length of the ellipse with same centroid as transverse section and the maximum centroid displacement in the direction parallel with skin surface in a cardiac cycle. Conclusions The mean, maximum and minimum value of the area of transverse section and the major axis length of ellipse and the maximum centroid displacement can be used to discriminate width of pulse tracing.

Objective:To discuss the effect and mechanism of autophagy inhibitor 3-MA on arsenic trioxide inducing apoptosis of acute T-cell leukemia cell line Jurkat cells.Methods:Proliferation inhibition of Jurkat cells treated with arsenic trioxide was detected by XTT.Morphological characteristics of Jurkat cells treated with different concentrations arsenic trioxide were observed by electron mi-croscope.Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC-3B) protein expression was detected by Western blot and flow cytome-try.Apoptosis rates of Jurkat cells treated with 3-MA combining arsenic trioxide were detected by flow cytometry using AnnexinV-FITC/PI double staining.Results:Arsenic trioxide inhibited the growth of Jurkat cells in a dose and time dependence.We observed different morphological characteristics of autophagy , apoptosis and necrosis accompanying more autophagosomes in Jurkat cells which were treated with arsenic trioxide 2.5,5,10 μmol/L after 24 h.LC3B mean fluorescence intensity (MFI)relative multiples were(3.1±0.2) fold,(4.6±0.31)fold,(34.2±4.5)fold with 5 μmol/L arsenic trioxide treated Jurkat cells 0,24,48 h,and the P values between each of the two groups were less than 0.05,which increased depending time consistently with the growth inhibition rates.LC-3B protein expression gradually increased treated Jurkat cells with arsenic trioxide after 24 h,48 h.The growth inhibition rate (60.6±8.3)%was significantly different treated with arsenic trioxide combining 3-methyl adenine ( 3-MA ) while it was ( 33.4 ±9.1 )% treated with arsenic trioxide alone, however, LC-3B protein expression gradually decreased.Jurkat cell apoptosis rate ( 44.96 ±3.60 )% was significantly increased treated with arsenic trioxide combining autophagy inhibitor(3-MA) while it was (2.94±0.26)% treated with arsenic trioxide alone, and this difference was statistically significant.Conclusion: 3-MA increased apoptosis rates of Jurkat cells inducing by Arsenic trioxide and it may be related with inhibition of autophagy and induction of apoptosis.

Pulse shape and pulse force are difficult to detect in pulse taking study. But the application of visualized technology extends the space acquisition of pulse taking information, and it is possible to realize the objective detection of pulse shape and pulse force. Rational research thoughts and strategies could be informed by combining image information and other data, and it is a necessary method in implementing the objective detection of pulse.
