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.

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.

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.

BACKGROUND: Nestin is a specific antigen of neural stem cells which widely expressed in lesion of nervous system and brain regeneration.Thus,nestin expression is commonly used to assess whether lesion or damage of the nervous system can promote neural regeneration.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of erythropoietin(EPO)on nestin expression in neural stem cells after hypoxia-ischemia brain damage(HIBD)in neonatal rats from the angles of neural regeneration and activation of neural stem cells.METHODS: HIBD model was established by ligation of the right common carotid artery along with 2-hour 8% hypoxia exposure in neonatal rats.The control group was not subjected to hypoxia-ischemia,and the right common carotid artery was dissociated.The treatment group received an intraperitoneal injection of recombinant human erythropoietin(rh-Epo,5 000 IU/kg)once a day for three days after hypoxia/ischemia,while the two other groups intraperitoneally received normal saline at the same time.In each group,rats were randomly executed immediately,at 4,7,14 days after operation(n = 8).The nestin expression in hippocampal dentate gyrus region was examined by immunohistochemical staining and image quantitative analysis respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The number of nestin-positive cells was significantly increased in HIBD group compared to control group at all time points(P < 0.05),and it was also significantly increased in treatment group than the other two groups at all time points(P < 0.05).The numbers of nestin-positive cells in hippocampal dentate gyrus region were significantly increased,and peaked on day 7 after operation in the three groups.The results showed that exogenous rh-Epo could enhance the expression of nestin in hippocampal dentate gyrus region of neonatal rats with HIBD,and promote the proliferation of neural stem cells,rh-Epo plays an important role in the regeneration and repair of neurocytes damaged by hypoxia-ischemia.

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.

To investigate the effect of proteasome inhibitor MG132 on the apoptosis of bovine lens epithelial cells (BLECs), the cells were treated with MG132 at different concentrations for12, 24 and 36 h. The cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay and the effect of MG132 on the apoptosis of BLECs was assessed by flow cytometry (FCM). The results showed that after treatment for the same period, the inhibitory effect of MG132 on BLECs proliferation was enhanced with the increment of the concentration of MG132 (0, 2, 5, 10, mumol/L) (P<0.05). The 50% inhibiting concentration (IC(50)) was 2.03 mumol/L when the BLECs were treated with MG132 for 36 h. MG132 also induced the apoptosis of BLECs obviously. FCM showed that the apoptosis index of the cells treated by MG132 at 2 mumol/L for 12 h was (20.24+/-1.51)%, and that of the control was (0.98+/-0.20)% respectively (P<0.01, n=3). It was concluded that MG132 could lead to apoptosis of BLECs. The decrease of proteasome activity may play an important role in the formation and development of cataract.

Objective To introduce and evaluate an improved technique of vertical mammaplasty for correction of severe breast ptosis. Methods Vertical mammaplasty that was first reported by Ma-deleine Lejour in Brussels is a technique that uses adjustable markings, an upper pedicle for the areola, and a central breast reduction with lower skin undermining. To shorten vertical scar, it was important to locate new nipple position and move up new inframammary fold. The shape of the breast was crea-ted by suturing the gland and did not rely on the skin. No scar was produced in submammary fold. Re-sults 36 cases were treated with vertical mammaplasty in our department since August 1999. The shape of the new breast was satisfactory in all patients after 3-24 months following-up. Areora necro-sis was not found in all the cases. Conclusion The vertical mammaplasty is an optical technique for correction of severe breast ptosis, Stable results are produced because the gland is strongly sutured.

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.
