Pressure vessel is used in medical organization as a kind of special medical equipment. It's easy to cause injury when improperly used. By analyzing technical performance, product security, accident threat that weakness element of MTF is pointed out and some suggestions of prevention accidents are produced.

The intelligent level of the modern medical equipments is higher than before and the automatic calibration circuits are largely used. The control circuit of the intelligent equipments is quite complicated and its working modes have been simplified to four-terminal or double terminal nets. The intelligent medical equipments such as CT, MRI, DR, PET/ CT have more chances to have some "soft" errors that are usually related to the zero-line calibration. In actual use, it can be noticed and performed, and the detecting and servicing for the medical equipments can be much easier than before.

As the base for the healthy development of civil medical equipment industry,the independent developing ability has attracted extensive attention.Firstly,medical equipment enterprises were divided into 5 modes according to their independent developing ability.Then the fuzzy evaluation method was utilized to evaluate them so as to correctly know the independent developing ability of medical equipment industry in our country.The evaluation shows that the brand value of the civil medical equipment is generally low.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)is a transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of gene expression induced by low oxygen conditions.HIF-1α is the most sensitive indicator of hypoxia and can be activated by systemic hypoxia,cerebral hemisphere ischemia and cerebral focal ischemia.HIF-1 expression can be induced by hypoxic-ischemic damage after cerebral infarction and exert its effects on hypoxia-inducible downstream genes,thus protecting hypoxic tissues and cells under hypoxic conditions via regulating the expression of its downstream target genes.This article reviews the expression of HIF-1α and its downstream target genes in acute cerebral ischemia,in order to provide a theoretical basis for gene therapy.

Object To select the optimum extracting procedure for quercetin from bud of Sophora japonica L. Methods The optimum extracting procedure was selected with the content and extraction effeciency of quercetin from bud of S. japonica by orthogonal test design. Results The optimum extracting procedure was determined with 10 times of 0.05% sodium hydroxide decocting 20 min and 4 times, adjusting pH value to 6, hydrolyzing with 10 times of 4% sulfuric acid for 1 h after precipitated. Conclusion The optimum extracting procedure increased the content and extraction efficiency of quercetin from bud of S. japonica.

Objective To evaluate the role of combination of three-vessel views in ultrasound diagnosis of fetal aortic arch and pulmonary arterial branch anomalies.Methods The data of 66 cases of fetal aortic arch and pulmonary arterial branch anomalies were retrospectively analysed,including echocardiographic data,autopsy and operation records and postnatal follow-up results.Echocardiogaphic features and display frequencies on three vessels and trachea view(3VT),three vessels view(3VV)and three vessels and pulmonary arterial branches view(3VP)were summarized.Results There were 52 cases of aortic arch abnormalities,including 32 cases of right aortic arch with left ductus arteriosus,4 cases of double aortic arch,7 cases of aberrant right subclavian artery,6 cases of coarctation of aorta and 3 cases of interruption of aortic arch.Fourteen cases were diagnosed pulmonary aterial branch abnormalities,including 1 0 cases of crossed pulmonary arteries,2 cases of anomalous origin of left pulmonary artery from aortic arch and 2 cases of pulmonary artery sling.The display frequencies of fetal aortic arch and pulmonary arterial branch anomalies on 3VT,3VV and 3VP were 80.3%,19.7% and 39.4%.Conclusions The combination of three-vessel views is of great value in prenatal diagnosis of fetal aortic arch and pulmonary arterial branch anomalies.

The quality control methods are the important to improve the exactness of diagnses and the effectivity of treatment.X-ray imaging quality is an important factor in improving the X-ray diagnosis effect.To serve this purpose,medical engineering personnel should do the X-ray quality control regularly to keep every parameter in accordance with national standards and demands.The quality control methods for several important indexes of X-ray generators are also discussed.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2008,29(2):99-101]

The two important methods for displaying three-dimensional data called surface rendering and volume rendering are introduced and analyzed.It is concluded that volume rendering is superior to surface rendering for the former one provides a basis for visualization of three-dimensional data.
