1.Research on wireless power transmission for gastrointestinal microsystems based on inductive coupling.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2008;25(1):61-87
A wireless power transmission method based on electromagnetic coupling was proposed for gastrointestinal microsystems. We analyzed the coupling coefficient, taking coils' misalignments into account by calculating mutual inductance. A power transmission model was built up. And based on this model, the electric parameters of maximizing the received power were deducted under weakly coupling condition. From the transmitting efficiency formula, we found two ways to enhance the efficiency. The transmission power was more than 200mW in our experiments when the receiving coil was located at the center of transmitting coil. This validated the method feasibility.

Objective To investigate the effect of green laser anatomical vaporization on patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),as well as its impact on inflammatory factors,quality of life,and urethral stricture.Methods A total of 120 patients with BPH and T2DM who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from March 2021 to August 2022 were selected as the research subjects.The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group according to the surgical approach,with 60 cases in each group.Patients in the control group underwent green laser selective photovaporization,while patients in the observation group were treated with green laser anatomical vaporization.The intraoperative and postoperative recovery indicators such as operation time,intraoperative blood loss,prostate resection quality,catheter indwelling time,bladder irrigation time,and hospitalization time of patients between the two groups were compared.The serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and the serum levels of malondialdehyde(MDA)and lipid peroxide(LPO)were detected by using immunofluorescence assay before surgery,3 days after surgery,and 7 days after surgery.The international prostate symptom score(IPSS)was used to assess prostate symptoms,the urinary symptom distress score(USDS)was used to assess urinary symptoms,the dynamic urodynamic monitor was used to measure urodynamics[maximum flow rate(Qmax),residual urine volume(RUV)],the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum level of total prostate specific antigen(tPSA),the international index of erectile function-5(IIEF-5)was used to assess erectile function,and the BPH quality of life(BPH-QOL)scale was used to assess quality of life before surgery,3 months after surgery,and 6 months after surgery.The incidence of complications such as urethral stricture,urinary tract irritation,bladder neck contracture,urinary retention,and secondary bleeding was compared between the two groups.Results The operation time of patients in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group,the intraoperative blood loss was significantly less than that in the control group,and the bladder irrigation time,catheter indwelling time,and hospitalization time were significantly shorter than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the quality of prostatectomy between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6,MDA,and LPO between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).On postoperative days 3 and 7,the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6,MDA,and LPO in both groups were significantly higher than those before surgery,and the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6,MDA,and LPO in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in the IPSS and USDS scores between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,the IPSS and USDS scores of patients in both groups were significantly lower than those before surgery,and the IPSS and USDS scores of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in RUV,Qmax,and serum tPSA levels between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,the RUV and serum tPSA levels of patients in both groups were significantly lower than those before surgery,while the Qmax was signifi-cantly higher than that before surgery(P<0.05).The RUV and serum tPSA levels of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,while the Qmax was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in the IIEF-5 and BPH-QOL scores of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,the IIEF-5 scores of patients in both groups were significantly lower than those before surgery,while the BPH-QOL scores were significantly higher than those before surgery(P<0.05).The IIEF-5 and BPH-QOL scores of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The total incidence of complications in the control group and the observation group was 16.67%(10/60)and 5.00%(3/60),respectively,and the total incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(x2=4.227,P<0.05).Conclusion Green laser anatomical vaporization in the treatment of BPH patients with T2DM can optimize the surgical process,reduce inflammatory stress and the risk of complications,promote early postoperative recovery,improve urodynamics and sexual function,relieve symptoms,and enhance quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the post-marketing safety of Compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection in patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS A drug-induced, prospective, non-controlled clinical study design was conducted. Using the patients with ischemic stroke who received Compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection at least once in 46 secondary class A and above medical institutions across the country from April 2020 to May 2021 as the monitoring objects, and their basic data, medication information and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions were analyzed. RESULTS Among 13 514 patients with ischemic stroke, the incidence of adverse events was 10.01%, and the incidence of adverse reactions related to Compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection was 0.33%. Drug-related adverse drug reactions were mild or moderate, concentrated in the gastrointestinal system (18 cases), skin and subcutaneous tissue (10 cases), nervous system (7 cases) and other systems/organs, mainly including constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, rash, pruritus, dizziness and other symptoms. Most of the patients (91.03%) recovered or improved after treatment, and 2 patients died. Among the 45 patients with adverse drug reactions, 84.44% were cured or improved after drug withdrawal or symptomatic treatment, and 15.56% had no significant change. The incidence of adverse drug reactions in tertiary hospitals was significantly higher than that in secondary hospitals, and the incidence of adverse drug reactions in patients with allergic history was significantly higher than that in patients without allergic history (P<0.05). Irrational drug use was found in 2.76% of patients, and the incidence of adverse drug reactions(2.95%) was significantly higher than that in patients without irrational drug use(0.26%,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The adverse drug reaction symptoms of ischemic stroke patients treated with Compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection are relatively common, the incidence rate is generally low, and it is related to the patients’ physique and whether the drug use is standardized.
