This paper introduces the premarket registration procedures and the post market regulatory requirements in India. According to Indian medical device act and related medical regulations on medical device, this is a preliminary discussion on the registration management system to provide referance for foreign medical device to enter India market.

The concept and classification of Korean medical device were introduced. The phases for Korea to import medical device include selecting Korean certification holder, hospital admittance, device marketing and supervision after marketing. China and other countries can find references to export medical devices into Korea.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of parasagittal reconstruction CT for the lumbar intervertebral foraminal stenosis.Methods From Jan.2003 to Apr.2004,15 suspected cases with lumbar intervertebral foraminal stenosis based on the routine clinical and radiologic examinations were diagnosed by means of the CT parasagittal reconstruction and operated on .Results All showed L_(4~5) or L_5~S_1 foraminal stenosis,2 cases far lateral disc protruded,8 cases the vertebral endplate posteriolateral spurs extruded into foramina,1 spondylolisthesis pseudoarthrosis pressed,4 cases had the narrow intervertebral space along with the flavum ligament hypertrophy and facet superioanterio subluxation. 7 cases showed horizontal stenosis and 8 cases showed vertical stenosis.6 cases wereⅡ?,9 cases were Ⅲ?. Conclusion The parasagittal reconstruction CT for the lumbar foraminal stenosis can compensate for the drawbacks of the routine axial CT, show more clearly and vividly and guide the operations more accurately.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of perimembranous ventricular septal defects (PmVSD) closure solely by femoral vein approach under transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance.Methods:From January 1,2014 to May 31,2016,26 patients with PmVSD in Second Xiangya Hospital were selected,with age at 3.2-6.0 (4.3±0.7) years old and body weight at 15.0-19.5 (16.7±1.4) kg.The diameter of VSD was 3.5-4.8 (4.1±0.3) mm.All patients were treated by percutaneous PmVSD closure solely by femoral vein approach under TEE guidance.The effect of the procedure was evaluated by TEE and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).The clinical follow-up study was conducted by TTE at 1,3,6 and 12 month (s) after the procedure.Results:Twenty cases were successfully treated with percutaneous PmVSD closure solely by femoral vein approach under TEE guidance,and the success rate was 76.9％.Six patients were converted to perventricular closure under TEE guidance because the guide wire in two cases or catheter in other cases could not pass through PmVSD.The diameter of symmetrical VSD occluder was 6.0-7.0 (6.2±0.4) mm.The procedural time was 12.0-64.0 (26.8±6.3) min.The residence time at ICU was 1.8-2.4 (26.8±6.3) h.The in-hospital time was 4.0-5.0 (4.4±0.5) d.There were 3 patients with immediate post-operative trivial residual shunt and incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB).All patients survived with no peripheral vascular injury or complications such as tricuspid regurgitation,pericardial tamponade and pulmonary infection.The residual shunt disappeared in 3 patients and IRBBB became normal rhythm in 3 patients at 1 month follow-up time point.No patients suffered from occluder malposition,residual shunt,pericardial effusion,arrhythmia (atrio-ventricular block),aortic valve regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation.Conclusion:TEE-guided percutaneous PmVSD closureby femoral vein approach is safe and effective.

Objective:To determine the prevalence, disease burden, and possible causes of lung cancer. Population-based lung cancer registration data collected from 1993 to 2012 were used to analyze the lung cancer epidemic status in Qidong City. Methods:Joinpoint regression was used to calculate the trend of incidence and mortality for lung cancer. Age-period-cohort model was used to assess the effects of age and exposure on the incidence and mortality rates. Results:Upward trends were observed both for the incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer. The risk of incidence and mortality increased with age. According to the cohort effect, the risk of lung cancer increased with recent birth dates. Women had higher risk than men. Conclusion:The incidence and mortality rates of pulmo-nary neoplasms have annually increased, and the exposure to risk factors for lung cancer gradually increases. Among the community population in Qidong City, people over 70 years belong to the high-risk groups.

Objective To establish a study cohort of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in Qidong and evaluate its baseline characteristics. Methods CHB outpatients of the Third People's Hospital of Qidong were invited to participate in baseline survey from January 1, 2016, including questionnaire survey, liver function detection, serum detection of HBV infection and upper abdomen ultrasound detection. Anticipated sample size was at least one thousand. Baseline data were inputted by EpiData 3.1 software and then cleaned and analyzed by SAS 9.3 software. Results As of 18 July, 2016, a total of 1006 participants had been enrolled into the current study, including 615 males with an average age of (44.26±9.97) years and 391 females with an average age of (46.66±11.17) years. The difference in family history of liver disease was not significant between males and females (P>0.05), while the differences in other key information, such as age, education level, tobacco consumption, alcohol drinking, tea consumption, and antiviral intervention, were significant between males and females (P<0.05). Among the key clinical parameters, such as ALT, HBeAg, HBsAg, HBV DNA, albumin, and width of splenic vein and portal vein, only the abnormal rates of ALT and total bilirubin levels were higher in males than in females, the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Outpatient department-based CHB cohort was established successfully in Qidong, and sub-cohort could be divided according to the differences on baseline characteristics.

OBJECTIVETo explore the value of single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) for the analysis of pediatric patients with growth retardation.

METHODSOne hundred eighty one children with growth retardation were enrolled. DNA was extracted from peripheral samples from the patients, and whole genome copy number variations (CNVs) were detected using Illumina Human Cyto SNP-12. All identified CNVs were further analyzed with reference to databases including ClinGen, ClinVar, DECIPHER, OMIM and DGV as well as comprehensive review of literature from PubMed to determine their pathogenicity.

RESULTSForty seven patients (26%) with abnormal CNVs were detected, which included 12 known microdeletions/microduplications syndrome (26%), 10 pathogenic non-syndromic CNVs (21%), 3 numerical chromosome aberrations (6%), 3 unbalanced translocations (6%), 4 pathogenic mosaicisms (9%) and 15 cases with unknown clinical significance (32%). After excluding obvious numerical and/or structural chromosomal abnormalities, this study has detected 15 pathogenic microdeletions/microduplications sized 5 Mb or less, which may be missed by routine chromosomal karyotyping. In addition, there were 3 cases with loss of heterozygoisty (LOH) containing known or predicted imprinting genes as well as 2 cases with suspected parental consanguinity.

CONCLUSIONSNP-array technology is a powerful tool for the genetic diagnosis of children with growth disorders with advantages of high resolution and improved accuracy.
