1.Preliminary study of CT characteristics for intestinal obstruction transitional zone
Journal of Practical Radiology 2015;(8):1290-1293
Objective To analyze multislice CT characteristics of intestinal obstruction transition zone caused by different patholo-gy.Methods 67 cases of intestinal obstruction were collected in our hospital.Multislice spiral CT scan combined with multi-plane re-organization (MPR)of the bowl obstruction transitional zone were analysed.Results Among 67 cases of intestinal obstruction,there were 28 cases of simple mechanical intestinal obstruction,1 7 cases adhesion intestinal obstruction,5 cases paralytic intestinal obstruc-tion,4 cases internal hernias and 4 cases mixed intestinal obstruction.Conclusion Intestinal canal transitional zone and arounding tis-sues of intestinal obstruction have certain characteristics for the same pathology which can be clearly displayed by multislice CT scan combined with MPR.
2.Comparison of clustering methods in light of paper similarity network topology
Chinese Journal of Medical Library and Information Science 2015;24(10):33-38
A paper similarity network was constructed in light of semantic similarity algorithm using the complex network processing package , igraph in R language , and analyzed by random walk-trap algorithm , label propagation algorithm, BGII algorithm, and Girvan-Newman algorithm, respectively.The accuracy and stability of these 4 al-gorithms were compared according to the golden standards and the D function for network community classification evaluation index, which showed that the accuracy and stability of random walk-trap algorithm were better than those of the other 3 algorithms and preconditioning of complex network was an important influencing factor for clustering .

Object High overlap of data window is essential to improve axial resolution in elastogaphy.However, correlated errors in displacement estimates increase dramatically with the increase of the overlap, and generate the so-called "worm" artifacts. This paper presents a wavelet shrinkage de-noising in strain estimates to reduce the worm artifacts at high overlap. Methods Each of axial strain A-lines was decomposed using discrete wavelet transformation up to 3 levels. The high frequency components of every levels of wavelet coefficients were quantified by using soft threshold function according to different adaptive thresholds. Then the discrete wavelet reconstruction were performed to produce a wavelet shrinkage denoised strain line. Results The simulation results illustrated that the presented technique could efficiently denoise worm artifacts and enhance the elastogram performance indices such as elastographic SNRe and CNRe. Elastogram obtained by wavelet denoising had the closest correspondence with ideal strain image. In addition, the results also demonstrated that wavelet shrinkage de-noising applied in strain estimates could obtain better image quality parameters than that apphed in displacement estimates. The elastic phantom experiments also showed the similar elastogram performance improvement. Conclusion Wavelet shrinkage de-noising can efficiently denoise the worm artifacts noise of elastogram and improve the performance indices of elastogram while maintaining the high axial resolution.

Objective To study the identification method of Akebia trifoliata(Thunb.) Koidz. by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Methods FTIR Spectroscopy was measured of Akebia trifoliate collected from different production areas. Results At the range of 737-1032cm-1, the Spectroscopy of Akebia trifolia of different production areas showed variances in peak value of infrared absorption, peak position, peak shape and peak strength, which can be regarded as identification evidence for Akebia trifoliate. Conclusion This mehthod is rapid, reliable, simple and effective. FTIR can be used as the identification index for Akebia trifoliate.

Parkinson disease(PD)is a common,progressive and disabling neurodegenerative movement disorder. Diagnosis of PD depends on clinical history and physical examination,but misdi?agnosis is common in early stages because of similar symptoms to other movement disorders. which is why biomarkers are urgently needed to accurately diagnose PD,especially in the early stages of PD, and find new drug targets. This review discusses the curient research of the PD candidate biomarkers from cerebrospinal fluid and blood in terms of PD pathogenesis. We have found that dihy?droxyphenylacetic acid,alpha- synuclein and its related proteins in Lewy bodies,8- hydroxy deoxy?guanosine,uric acid,interleukin and neurotrophic factors are potential biomarkers. They participate in different stages of PD. In order to enhance the accuracy of early diagnosis and efficacy of drugs evalua?tion,we are to use multiple biomarkers rather than a single biomarker,in combination with different biologic pathways of biomarkers,neuroimaging as well as clinical symptoms.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection. METHODS:The contents in the instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection approved the listing from Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2015 were statistically investigated according to Regulation for Drug Package Inserts and Label Management and Regulatory Guidelines for Chemicals and Biologicals,and the items with great differences in different approval number were analyzed comparatively. RE-SULTS:The labeling rate of clinical experiment in the collected 25 instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection was 0,the labeling rate of validity was 44%,the labeling rate of use for elderly patients was 68%,the labeling rate of overdosage was 76%,and the labeling rate of others was 100%. The items with great differences were mainly special populations,usage and dos-age,adverse reactions,validity,storage conditions and precautions. CONCLUSIONS:There are great differences in instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injection,some items are inaccurate,incomplete and lack of scientificity,which may result in ir-rational drug use in patients and increase the risk of medication. It is suggested that the domestic enterprises should modify and per-fect the contents of the instructions of domestic Clindamycin phosphate injections referring to the instructions of foreign brand name drug;and the drug regulatory department should strengthen the monitoring of drug instructions.
