Micro-syringe as a result of the high frequency of clinical use, direct contact with patients, the failure of its equipment will have a direct impact on the patient's disease status. Researchers in this paper, by simulating the test fluid, electrical safety testing and analysis of statistical methods such as maintenance records, consider six kinds of common injection pump, in terms of performance, safety and the failure rate of three performance. Compared the performance analysis, summarized the various types of injection pump characteristics, researchers make suggestions to clinical departments, equipment procurement and equipment management departments for usage and improvement.

Objective To evaluate the value and limitation of MRI in the diagnosis of meningovascular neurosyphilis. Methods Five cases of neurosyphilis confirmed by clinical history/laboratory were examined with MRI (3 plain MRI, 2 enhanced MRI). The results of blood and CSF TPPA/RPR were positive and HIV was negative. Results Abnormal signals were demonstrated in the temporal lobe in 3 cases, and infarction was revealed in the basal ganglion and periventricular white matter in another 2 cases. There was no marked contrast enhancement in the 2 cases. Conclusion Meningovascular neurosyphilis has no characteristic features on MRI, but MRI is an effective method in delineating the size, range, and characters of neurosyphilis, and it is also an useful modality to follow-up after antibiotic therapy.

Objective To evaluate the viability of adipocytes after they are subjected to different compressive stress in vitro for improvement of autologous fat graft and its clinical application.Methods Fat grafts were harvested from healthy patients who underwent liposuction for body contouring.Then the fat grafts were randomly divided into 5 experimental groups,including control group without any compressive stress,and continuous compressive stress groups (0,25,50,75,and 100 kPa),and the glucose transport test was performed at days 1,2,3 and 4.An MTT assay was also performed after 4 days with continuous compressive stress in each group with the same experimental protocol for control.Routine histological examination was done in all groups to examine possible structural destruction after compressive stress.Results As compared with the control group,the glucose transport test showed transported glucose concentration decreased with an increase in compressive stress in all of the other four groups (P＜0.01),and this effect would increase with action time.MTT assay showed absorbance (A492nm) also decreased with an increase in compressive stress in four days (P＜0.05),the similar fndings of MTT assay on the viability of fat grafts in all five groups and correlated with the glucose transport test (r=0.838,P＜0.01).Histology showed significantly distorted and fractured adipocytes and cell injury rate was to raise with an increase in compressive stress.Conclusions Our study demonstrates the harmful effect on the viability of fat grafts with an increase in compressive stress and therefore we should reduce this effect in clinical application of fat grafts.

Objective To explore the traits of improved polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE)-ethidium bromide(EB) staining in the detection of genotype polymorphisms.Methods The methods of PAGE-silver staining,agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE)-EB staining and improved PAGE-EB staining in polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were used to detect the μ-opioid receptor (OPRM1) A118G genotypes in case group (n =167) infants with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH),and control group(n =163) infants without ICH,to conduct a case study analysis.And the application traits of three methods were compared.Results Genotypes of OPRM1 A118G were GG (169 bp),AG (193 bp,169 bp),AA (193 bp).Both the electrophoresis methods of PAGE-silver staining and PAGE-EB could be used to detect the genotypes of OPRM1 A118G clearly in this study.There was no statistically significant difference between the resolutions of DNA fragments (P =0.884).The first method,which had 13 experiment steps,consuming 4-5 hours,involving 12 kinds of chemical reagents,and the pictures were taken with the camera,was complex,with difficult operation,more time consuming; Compared with the first method,the secondmethod was simple,which had 6 test procedures,consuming 2 hours with 8 reagents,and the pictures were taken by using an automatic gel imager.AGE-EB could not be used to detect genotypes of OPRM1 A118G.Conclusions The method of improved PAGE-EB has the advantages of fast,easy operation,and high resolution,which is worthy of wider application.

To obtain fusion protein of Mycobacterium bovis with high purity, the recombinant prokaryotic expression vector for Mb2277 gene was constructed and the immunogenicity of its products was initially investigated in the present study.A pair of primer was designed according the gene sequence Mb2277 from the genomic DNA of M.Bovis in GenBank. and was amplified by PCR using DNA of M.Bovis 93006 strain as template. The PCR product and pET-28a(+) was then digested by BamHⅠ and EcoR Ⅰdouble enzyme. To constructed a prokaryotic expression plasmid, the purified Mb2277 was cloned to pET28a(+). Then the recombinant plasmid was transformed into competent cell of E.coli BL21(DE3).The bacteria were induced by IPTG and its lysates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western-blotting. In this way, the prokaryotic expression plasmid for M. bovis Mb 2277 protin was obtained, and a expression band with molecular of 25 ku could be found in SDS-PAGE analysis. As demonstrated by Western blotting this expression product showed excellent reactivity with rabbit immune sera against M. bovis.

Objective To investigate the ultrasonic and pathological features of porcine striped muscle injury from thermal and chemical factors respectively, and to analyze the limitation of ultrasound diagnosis given by doctors with different skill levels. Methods An experimental study using fresh porcine striped muscle in vitro was designed, where the injury were caused by microwave ablation (2 450 MHz) and Anhydrous acetic acid (99.8%) injection separately. Blind to pathologic results, the two-dimensiona sonograms taken from each model were analyzed by sonographers with different skill levels independently. Finally, the diagnoses were evaluated and compared among them. Results Two-dimensional sonograms showed distinct changes of the textures in both injury models, which was characterized as the disappearance of regular tissue structure. However, the corresponding histopathology revealed obvious differences between the two interventions on ultrasonograms. There was no statistical difference between chief physician and attending doctor (both of them had over 5-year experiences on skeletal muscle ultrasound ) in identifying the ultrasonic features of boundary, shape and muscle texture (Kappa=0.933, 0.845, 0.789;Kappa=0.790, 0.935, 0.865, all P<0.05). Compared with residents′diagnosis, there were signiifcant differences in identifying the ultrasonic features of echo level and muscle texture in both injury models:Echo level in thermal injury group:chief physician vs residents, Kappa=0.323;attending doctor vs residents, Kappa=0.297. Texture feature in thermal injury group:chief physician vs residents, Kappa=0.259;attending doctor vs residents, Kappa=0.112. Texture feature in chemical injury group:chief physician vsresidents, Kappa=0.253;attending doctor vs residents, Kappa=0.070. Conclusions Microwave ablation and Anhydrous acetic acid can cause different histopathologic changes in correspondence with various features on two-dimensional sonograms. But ultrasonographers with different skill levels leads to signiifcant variations in identiifcation and qualitative diagnosis, which is impossible to be quantitatively analyzed. Chief physician and attending doctor can draw a consistent conclusion and demonstrate the ultrasounic characteristics in porcine striped muscle injury model from thermal or chemical factors.
