Because of spine structure and location importantance, spine artificial surgery is not only high-risk but also require proficiency of doctors. Image navigation system for spinal surgery could reduce risk and postoperative complications, and spinal image segmentation and registration methods are the key steps. This paper summarized spinal image segmentation and registration methods. Based on analysis of existing methods, we pointed out the shortcoming in the field, thus forecasts future development.

Currently praziquantel is one of the major drugs used in treatment of schistosomiasis and other trematode infections.Recent experimental studies indicate that a new anthelmintic,tribendimidine,is used in the treatment of intestinal nematodes,also possesses effect against several species of trematodes including Clonorchis sinensis,Opisthorchis viverrini and Echinostoma caproni.Tribendimidine is even more effective against C.sinensis in rats that a single 300 mg/kg oral dose cures almost all of the animals treated,a lower cure dose than praziquantel(375-500 mg/kg).The anti-malarial drugs artemether and artesunate are not only effective in the prevention of schistosomiasis,but also effective against several species of trematodes,especially C.sinensis.The single oral dose of both drugs to cure or achieve high efficacy in infected rats is 75 mg/kg.This review summarized research progress on tribendimidine,artesunate,and artemether in experimental animals infected with C.sinensis and other species of trematodes.

Acupuncture clinical trials are designed to provide reliable evidence of clinical efficacy, and SCI papers is one of the high-quality clinical efficacy of acupuncture research. To analyze these papers published in high impact factor journals on acupuncture clinical trials, we can study clinical trials from design to implementation, the efficacy of prevention and cure, combined with international standard practices to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture. That is the core of acupuncture clinical trials, as well as a prerequisite for outstanding academic output. A scientific and complete acupuncture clinical trial should be topically novel, designed innovative, logically clear, linguistically refining, and the most important point lies in a great discovery and solving the pragmatic problem. All of these are critical points of papers to be published in high impact factor journal, and directly affect international evaluation and promotion of acupuncture.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the drug use in outpatient and emergency departments of our hospital.METHODS: A total of 12 000 prescriptions in outpatient and emergency departments in 2006 were randomly sampled for the analysis of drug use.RESULTS: 43% of the drugs were used singly and 13% were combined use of 4 or more than 4 drugs.Oral administration and intravenous injection were the leading routes of administration.3.10% of the prescriptions were irrational in dosage,repeated drug use,dosage regimen,use of dissolvants,drug combination,and drug choice etc.CONCLUSION: The drug use in the outpatient and emergency departments of our hospital were rational basically,yet there are still some problems remains to be tackled.Great importance should be attached to the prescription check.

Background Corneal contact lens have been widely used in vitrectomy.The corneal ring accompanying with the contact lens therefore is also much concerned.We designed a sutureless silicone corneal ring to renew a suturing?ring,but its detection of physicochemical properties and hiocompatihility is necessary for clinical application. Objective This study was to investigate the physicochemical properties and biocompatibility of the newly designed sutureless silicone corneal ring. Methods The Shore hardness,tensile stress-strain tests,tear strength,transmittance and the haze of the novel silicone ring were tested.The bioeompatibility of sutureless silicone corneal ring to corneal epithelial cells was evaluated by determining cytotoxieity.The ring was implanted into the counjunctival soc of 6 Japanese white rabbits for 4 hours to determine its stimulation response by measuring the area of corneal fluorescence staining,and then the ring was placed on the skin surface of 6 SD rats for 4 hours to assess the presence of allergic reaction by calculating the swelling area of skin. Results The new sutureless silicone corneal ring showed good physiological features with a Shore hardness of 63.4 degree,tensile strength more than 5.86 MPa,elongation＞100%and tear strength 34 kN/m.The transmittance of 3 legs in the ring was more than 93%;however,the haze was less than 0.1%.Cytotoxicity of the ring was 3.1 1×10-6%.No obvious corneal fluorescence staining was seen at any time point in all the rabbit eyes in the stimulating test.Furthermore,there was not any skin swelling in various time points in all the SD rats in the allergy test. Conclusion The physicochemical properties of the silastic used in our newly designed sutureless silicone cornea ring can meet the demands of the ring.The biological evaluation complies with the ISO i0993-1 international standards and meets the demands of the organism.Thus,it is all ideal material to use in constructing the corneal ring.

Objective To study the infection rate and sensitivity of genitourinary tract mycoplasma among the patients in the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) hospital ,and its similarities and differences with the western medicine hospital ,thus to increase the therapeutic effect by combining with the related therapeutic measures of TCM .Methods The mycoplasma identification and drug susceptibility test results in 4 086 female genital tract specimens were performed the retrospective analysis .Then the medica‐tion strategy was investigated by combining with clinic .Results Of the 4 086 specimens ,1 891 cases were Mycoplasma positive with the total positive rate of 46 .3% ;in which the positive rate of ureaplasma urealyticum(UU) was higher(40 .7% ,1663 cases) , the most sensitive drugs were pyostacin and josamycin with the sensitive rates of 99 .11% and 99 .01% respectively ;mycoplasma hominis(M H) was less with the positive rate of 2 .7% (110 cases) ,josamycin and doxycycline were sensitive;the positive rate of UU and M H was 2 .9% (118 cases) ,doxycycline and pyostacin were sensitive with the sensitive rates of 95 .77% and 95 .26% re‐spectively .Conclusion Mycoplasma has higher infection rate in the genitourinary tract among gynecological patients ,the results are similar between the hospital of TCM and Western medicine hospital ;UU is mainly Mycoplasma type;the drug susceptibility test re‐sults reveal that the empirical medication for anti‐mycoplasma infection can select doxycycline and josamycin;it is recommended that the combined therapy with syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine by combining with the drug sensitivity test re‐sults has better clinical efficacy .
