1.Progresses in on-body channel models for wireless body area networks
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2014;37(5):303-306,320
On-body communication channels are a physical basis for the establishment of an effective and reliable wireless link between on-body nodes in wireless body area networks (WBANs).Due to normally strict limitations in transmit power and power consumptions of on-body nodes as well as the human-centered characteristics of WBANs,on-body channels are prone to be affected by the electromagnetic properties of human tissues,human movements,application environments and transceiver antennas,which increase greatly the complexity of the research on channel models.The paper discusses the developments,mathematical expressions and application characteristics of five types of on-body channel models,such as the simple path loss model,the hybrid path loss model,the small-scale fading model,the scenario-based model and the ultra-wideband model,and reviews the current progress on the modeling on-body channels.
2.Research progress in diagnosis of early-onset neonatal sepsis
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(9):822-826
Early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) is one of the major causes of mortality in neonates, especially in very low birth weight infants. EONS has no speciifc manifestations, and progresses rapidly and unexpectedly. EONS is often missed diag-nosed or even misdiagnosed due to the absence of ideal diagnostic methods in current clinical practice, and this dilemma leads to the high mortality of EONS. Therefore the accurate diagnosis in the early stage of EONS is very important. This review describes the progress in diagnostic methods of EONS including culture, blood cell counts, molecular biological technique, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein measurements, cytokine proifling and some other novel means. It may provide useful information for early diagnosis of EONS.

Aninductivelycoupledplasmamassspectrometric(ICP-MS)methodbasedonquadrupole reaction/collision ( DRC) was developed for the determination of K,Na,Ca,Mg,Al,Cu,Zn,Pb,As and Mn in food. Samples were digested with HNO3 and H2 O2 followed by dilution with ultrapure water and then analyzed directly by ICP-MS. The signal sensitivity of high concentration element ( K, Na, Ca, Mg and Al ) was suppressed easily by adjusting the voltage parameters of DRC quadrupole ( Rpa) , and the food samples could be online diluted any multiples ( i. e. from one time to million times) according to the actual need. In order to eliminate mass spectral interferences of 40 Ar35 Cl+, the operational conditions of the DRC, working with CH4 as reaction gas, were optimized for 75 As. The limits of detection for the K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al varied from 0. 013-0. 027 mg/L, and Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Mnvaried from 0. 12-0. 61 μg/L. The accurate and reliable results were obtained for validation of the ICP-MS method with food reference material according to the national standard GBW10023 , GBW10015 , GBW10018 , GBW10017 , GBW10019 and GBW10024 . As the routine method in our laboratory, the satisfactory results indicate that it has great potential for the determination of low and high concentration level elements by one single analysis in various samples.

Methods :
The data of new HIV/AIDS cases aged 50 years and older in Wenzhou City from 2006 to 2020 were collected from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. The temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of new HIV/AIDS cases at ages of 50 years and older were identified using global and local spatial autocorrelation analyses and spatial-temporal scan analysis.
Results:
Totally 1 917 new HIV/AIDS cases aged 50 years and older were detected in Wenzhou City from 2006 to 2020, and there were 179 new HIV/AIDS cases in 58 townships ( streets ) from 2006 to 2010, 643 cases in 113 townships ( streets ) from 2011 to 2015 and 1 095 cases in 147 townships ( streets ) from 2016 to 2020, respectively. The distribution of new HIV/AIDS cases appeared positive spatial autocorrelations from 2006 to 2010 ( Moran's I value=0.05, Z=1.976, P=0.046 ), from 2011 to 2015 ( Moran's I value=0.08, Z=2.314, P=0.028) and from 2016 to 2020 (Moran's I value=0.18, Z=3.956, P=0.003 ). Spatial-temporal scan analysis identified two clusters. The primary cluster mainly covered 70 towns ( streets ) in Lucheng Distrct, Ouhai District, Longwan District, Economic and Technical Development Region, Rui' an City and Pingyang County of Wenzhou City from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020, with a cluster radius of 34.30 km [log likelihood ratio ( LLR )=192.84, RR=2.60, P<0.001], and the secondary cluster was located in Hongqiao Township of Yueqing City from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2015, with a cluster radius of 0 ( LLR=90.60, RR=7.27, P<0.001 ).
Conclusions
The number of new HIV/AIDS cases aged 50 years and older appeared a tendency towards a rise in Wenzhou City from 2006 to 2020, with spatial clusters that were predominantly identified in urban areas, Rui' an City and Pingyang County of Wenzhou City.

Objective:To investigate the effects of finasteride combined with tamsulosin hydrochloride administered during the perioperative period on glandular microvessel density in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods:Ninety patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who received treatment in Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from August 2017 to August 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either oral tamsulosin hydrochloride alone (control group, n = 45) or oral finasteride combined with tamsulosin hydrochloride (observation group, n = 45) during the perioperative period of transurethral resection of the prostate. All patients received 6 weeks of medication. Clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, and urodynamic indexes, glandular microvessel density, International Prostatism Symptom Score, bother score, and urine color/degree of haematuria score pre- and post-treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:The maximum urinary flow rate in each group significantly increased 6 weeks after treatment compared with before treatment. The detrusor pressure and residual urine volume in each group decreased 6 weeks after treatment compared with before treatment. After 6 weeks of treatment, the maximum urinary flow rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group [(15.63 ± 2.26) mL/s vs. (13.14 ± 2.23) mL/s], and residual urine volume was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group [(29.19 ± 4.81) mL vs. (32.25 ± 5.52) mL, t = 5.26, 2.80, both P < 0.05). International Prostatism Symptom Score measured 6 weeks after treatment and urine color/degree of haematuria score measured 1 week after treatment were (12.09 ± 2.17) points and (1.51 ± 0.27) points, respectively in the observation group, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(14.28 ± 2.22) points, (2.03 ± 0.38) points, t = 4.73, 7.48, both P < 0.05]. Factor VIII related antigen- and CD34-positive glandular microvessel density values in the observation group were (14.74 ± 3.05) counts/visual field and (19.41 ± 3.07) counts/visual field, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(18.08 ± 3.16) counts/visual field, (22.27 ± 3.16) counts/visual field, t = 5.10, 4.35, both P < 0.05]. The incidence of postoperative hematuria was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group [15.56% (7/45) vs. 35.56% (16/45), χ2 = 4.73, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Compared with tamsulosin hydrochloride alone, finasteride combined with tamsulosin hydrochloride administered during the perioperative stage can greatly improve the urodynamic indexes of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, reduce microvessel density value, International Prostatism Symptom Score, bother score, and decrease the incidence of hematuria. The combined therapy provides a novel idea for preventing perioperative bleeding in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
