Objective: Nowadays, the power calibration methods of the microwave hyperthermia apparatus doesn't take the power loss of the radiator into account Aiming at this problem, the authors designed an equipment of measuring the actual output power of the microwave hyperthermia apparatus. A new method is proposed for calibration the output microwave power of microwave hyperthermia apparatus. Methods: The magnetron anode current was maintained at a default value by a control system. The microwave power generated by microwave source is coupled firstly to a low-power meter by the coaxial cable to measuring the power going through coaxial cable (P_(coaxial cable)). Then the microwave radiator is connected to the coaxial cable to make the microwave radiated by radiator. The radiator is assembled in the experimental device for the microwave completely absorbed by the water. The absorbed microwave energy of the water is calculated by measuring the water temperature change. The energy loss of the experimental device is calculated using the cooling rate. The output power of the radiator is equal to the ratio of the sum of the two aforementioned energy and the time. And the efficiency of the radiator η_(radiator), is equal to P_(radiator)/P_(coaxial cable) Results: The relationship between the actual output power of the microwave hyperthermia apparatus and the mag- netron anode current is P_(radiator) = 2η_(radiator) I. The efficiency of the radiator is η_(radiator)= (34±1)%. Conclusion: From the experimental results, the current method for calibration output power of microwave hyperthermia apparatus is defective, it dose not consider the conversion efficiency of radiator. Using the calibration method introduced in this paper, wecan accurately deter- mine the actual output power of microwave hyperthermia Apparatus.

Objective To evaluate the short term outcome after mitral valve replacement with the Perimount bovine pericardial valve. Methods Eighty-eight patients underwent mitral valve replacement with the bovine pericardial valve in hospital were included in this study. Postoperative general condition including mortality and cerebral hemorrhage was observed. The hemodynamic and New York heart disease association (NYHA) heart function classification were recorded by Doppler echocardiograms before operation, postoperative 1 week, 3 months and 1 year after mitral valve replacement. Values of the different time points of NYHA, left atrial diameter (LA), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVDD), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVSD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) were compared. The hemodynamic parameters were also compared including the peak cross valve pressure (PG), mean cross valve pressure (MG), peak cross valve velocity (PV) and effective orifice area (EOA) 1 week, 3 months and 1 year after surgery. Results There were two cases (2.3%) dead in one year (one died of cerebral hemorrhage and another one died of thromboembolism). There was 1 perivalvular leakage (1.2%). There was no endocarditis or structural valve deterioration. NYHA cardiac function was improved at postoperative 3 months and 1 year (P < 0.05). The values of LA, LVDD and PAP were significantly decreased at postoperative 1 week, 3 months and 1 year compared with those before operation (P<0.05). Values of LVSD and LVEF were significantly decreased at postoperative 1 week compared with those before operation (P<0.05). The value of LVEF was significantly increased at postoperative 3 months and 1 year (P<0.05). Compared with postoperative 1 week, the values of LA and LVEF were significantly increased at postoperative 3 months and 1 year (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in PG, MG, PV and EOA between postoperative 1 week, 3 months and 1 year. Conclusion With the excellent performance of cardiac function recovery, left ventricular restoration and hemodynamic, the Perimount bovine pericardial valve remains a reliable choice as a mitral tissue valve.

Objective To evaluate results of surgical treatment for patients with acute type A aortic dissection using Sun’s operation and triple-branched stent graft. Methods According to the operation mode, thirty-three patients with type A aortic dissection were divided into Sun’s operation group (n=22) and triple branches aortic arch stent-graft placement op?eration (triple-branched) group (n=11). Preoperative examinations included cardiac ultrasound, aortic CT angiography (CTA), hepatic and renal functions and blood routine test in all patients. Intraoperative monitoring included the index about cardiopulmonary bypass and blood loss. The perioperative hepatic and renal functions and complications were also recorded. Survival and recovery rates were evaluated by follow-up between two groups of patients. Results There were six periopera?tive death in Sun’s group, and three patients died in triple-branched group. In triple-branched group, the intraoperative blood loss was significantly increased than that in Sun’s group [(3 586.4±2 926.8) mL vs. (2 630.5±1 821.2) mL, P<0.05]. Postoperative echocardiographic examinations revealed that the left ventricular size (LVEDd) and the aortic diameter were decreased while the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was elevated after surgery in Sun’s group [(50.9±6.9) mm vs. (55.0±7.5) mm,(28.2±1.6) mm vs. (48.8±11.0) mm, 0.620±0.031 vs. 0.469±0.104, P<0.05]. Whereas, only the aortic diame?ter was decreased after surgery in triple-branched group [(28.6±3.9) mm vs. (50.9±9.2) mm, P<0.05]. Kaplan-Meier surviv?al curve showed that five-year survival rate of Sun’s group was similar with that of triple-branched group (Log-rank χ2=0.095,P>0.05). At 5 year after operation, there were no significant differences in the recurrence of new aortic dissection, the incidence of cerebral infarction and mortality between Sun’s group and triple-branched group (P>0.05). Conclusion Sun’s operation can significantly decrease patient’s intraoperative blood loss and improve cardiac function. But its survival rate and long term results need advanced observation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of genetically modified X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) of rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) by isolating and cultivating rat ADSCs in vitro. Methods ADSCs were isolated from rat groin fat pads by collagenaseⅠdigestion under sterile condition. ADSCs were passaged and amplified with 10%FBS DMEM. The multi-differentiation potential of ADSCs was verified by cultivated with differentiation medium. XIAP expression plasmid was transfected into ADSCs. The anti-apoptotic ability of XIAP transduction was detect-ed by Western blotting assay. Results ADSCs were mainly spindle-shaped and whirlpool-shaped arranged. Results of flow cytometry showed that there were higher expressions of CD29, CD44, CD90 and CD105 in ADSCs, which differentiated into lipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts under specific conditions. There is XIAP gene modified adipose-derived mesenchy-mal stem cells Band in the corresponding molecular mass of PVDF membrane area. Conclusion ADSCs were isolated from rat subcutaneous fat pads and were easily cultivated, passaged and amplified. ADSCs can differentiate into osteoblasts, chon-drocytes and adipocytes under specific conditions, which are better resource for being used in cell therapy and tissue engi-neering.

Objective To explore the relationship between clinical and pathological changes of complement 1q(C1q) nephropathy. Methods Clinical manifestation, pathologic features including glomerulus change, renal tubule - interstitial change and im-munopathology were compared between 10 cases of C1q nephropathy in children, who were diagnosed by renal biopsy. Results Presentation included idiopathic nephritic syndrome(6 cases), simple hematuria(2 cases), nephritic syndrome(1 case), rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis( 1 case); Renal biopsy revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis( FSGS) in 5, minimal-change disease( MCD) and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) respectively in two and crescentic glomerulonephritis in one. In addition, there were renal - tubule interstitial changes with 3 cases of grade I and grade II each other, 2 of grade III , 1 of grade IV . The prominent immunofluorescent features was the presence of bright mesangial deposition of C1q. The average follow - up time was 25.7 months. Six cases presenting nephrotic syndrome were resistant to steroid, but 5 were released after immunosuppressive therapy, the other had progressive renal insufficiency. Conclusions C1q nephropathy falls with the clinical - pathologic spectrum of FSGS generally. It is also presented as steroid - resistant nephritic syndrome. Moreover, the prognosis of C1q nephropathy is related to renal tubulointerstitial pathologic lesions not to C1q deposition.

Objective To establish an animal model of sacral nerve root avulsion in rats and e-valuate its efficiency. Methods A total of 20 adult SD rats (either sex) were chosen at random to es-tablish the sacral nerve root avulsion model by avulsing the fight L4-6 nerve roots out of intervertebral fo-ramina without laminectomy. The left side was set as control group. The models were evaluated in aspects of survival rate, Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores, somatosensory evoked potential (SEP), horse radish peroxidase (HRP) tracing, bilateral weight and cross section area (CSA) of muscle biceps femo-ris, fiber of triceps surae and anterior tibial muscle. Results Of all, 19 rats were survived but one died, with survival rate of 95.0%. The BBB score was (10.78+3.15) points in experimental group and 21 points in control group. The success rate of establishing animal model was 89.5% ,for there detected no SEP in bilateral cerebral cortex of the wounded extremity of 17 rats. HRP showed positive reaction in the spinal segment of L4-6 in two rats but negative in 17, with success rate of 89.5%. There was statistical difference in aspects of weight and muscle fiber CSA of double biceps femoris, triceps surae and anterior fibial muscle between experimental group and control group. Electron microscope found denervation chan-ges including muscle fiber atrophy, nucleus shifting to (center and muscle satellite cell. Conclusion A-vulsion of L4-6 sacral nerve root out of vertebral canal is a feasible and ideal method to establish the avui-sion model of sacral nerve root injury in rats.
