International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;37(20):2836-2837
Objective To evaluate the interference of occult blood in urine (urinary hemoglobin) and to determine the protein in urine by benzethonium chloride .Methods By reference to EP7‐A2 of CLSI ,urine containing different concentrations of hemoglobin were preparated to produce the dose‐effect curve,while 50 cases of clinical urine with varying degrees of occult blood were col‐lected for clinical sample bias test.Urinary protein was quantified by benzyl chloride in DPP roche comparing with sulfosalicylic acid method .Results When the urinary hemoglobin was 0 .2 g/L or higher ,the determined result of urinary protein of urinary pro‐tein would be significantly interfered by benzethonium chloride method .The clinical sample bias testshowed that clinical urine with different degrees of occult blood caused positive interference to the determination of protein by benzethonium chloride .Conclu‐sion Urine samples with occult blood and /or containing red blood cells should be emphasized and evaluate the accuracy when the urinary protein is quantified by benzyl chloride .If necessary ,it should be confirmed by sulfosalicylic acid .

Objective To explore the anesthesia effect and influence of combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA)with head -up of 10°on maternal hemodynamics during cesarean section.Methods 120 pregnant women undergoing cesarean section were selected,and were randomly divided into group A,B and C,40 cases in each group. Three groups were all given CSEA,yet pregnant women in group A were taken supine position,group B was taken head-up of 10°,and group C was taken head -up of 20°.Hemodynamic parameters of three groups of the following time points were compared,including before anesthesia(T0 ),5min after anesthesia(T1 ),skin incision(T2 ),fetal disen-gagement immediately(T3 ),and operation at the end(T4 ),also anesthesia effect was recorded,and usage of ephedrine and local anesthetic was noted,and adverse reactions were compared.Results Compared with T0 ,group A's hemody-namics in T1 decreased,including systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),and increased in T2 and T3 ,yet there were no statistical differences on hemodynamics in three groups in T4 .Compared with group B and C,there were statistical differences on hemodynamics in T1 ,T2 and T3 in group A(t =3.63 -7.25,P <0.05 or P <0.01),yet there were no statistical differences on hemodynamics in group B and C(t =0.00 -0.93,all P >0.05). Anesthesia block scores in group A,B and C were (2.0 ±0.3)points,(2.5 ±0.2)points,(2.6 ±0.2)points,and scores of B and C were higher than that in group A(t =3.92,4.01,all P <0.05).Cases and total usage of ephedrine in group A were higher than those of group B and C(χ2 =31.43,50.61,t =16.27,20.17,all P <0.01).Cases of adjusting surgical position,and addition of local anesthetic in group C were significantly higher than those of group B (χ2 =23.85,28.47,all P <0.01).Conclusion It has better anesthetic effect of taking CSEA by head -up of 10°, and maternal hemodynamics are more stable,can better meet operation's requirements,also with easier operation,so it is superior to supine position and head -up of 20°.

BACKGROUND:MATLAB has capabilities of large numerical calculation, mathematical drawing and simple finite element analysis. It can establish models rapidly and can be able to identify the grayscale with BMP and JPG
format, and it can directly transform the identified data into ANSYS finite element software-readable format, thus avoiding personal error produced by the repositioning and secondary treatment in the Autocad software.
OBJECTIVE:To find a simple, convenient and accurate method to construct the model of lumber fusion and to analyze the biomechanics of lumbar motion segment after lumbar fusion.
METHODS:Lamel ar CT and Matlab (Matrix Laboratory) scientific computing software combining Ansys finite
element software was used to construct the models of lumber fusion. Then the models were loaded to analyze the biomechanical change of the fusion model.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The established models were loaded with axial, bending and stretching loads, and the biomechanical analysis showed that interbody fusion had the best stability among al the fusion models. Combined with joint fusion, the axial displacements of interbody, rear side and rear fusion models were
decreased by 5%, 1%and 4%than that of simple interbody fusion, posterolateral fusion and posterior fusion models. Under the stretch-buckling load conditions, the rotation angles were reduced by 23%, 11%and 45%. Stress concentration to the fusion parts showed fusion block could increase the load displacement. The
technology of lamel ar CT, Matlab software and Ansys finite element software can accelerate the construction of lumber fusion model and make the model more accurate. Facet joint fusion combined with interbody fusion,
posterolateral fusion and posterior fusion can get better lumbar stability, and this increased stability is more significant in the rear fusion. Stress distribution of posterior fusion is more reasonable.
