Background and purpose:This study aimed to estimate the spike-effect of domestic nanometer activated carbon on the radical operation for early stage low-lying rectal cancer. Methods:From Jan. 2013 to Dec. 2015, 66 patients with early stage low-lying rectal cancer were randomly divided into two groups:study group and control group. The patients of study group were treated with injection of carbon nanoparticles suspension in tumor vicinity before the operation. This study compared the total number of lymph node, the scale percentage of micro lymph node between two groups. SLNs of study group were obtained for pathological examination. Results:The differences in the total number of lymph node and the scale percentage of micro lymph node between two groups were statistically signiifcant (P<0.05). The diagnostic sensitivity and false-negative rate were 90.9%and 3.8%, respectively. Conclusion:Local injection of nanometer activated carbon around the tumor is important to the metastasis lymph node resection, especially to SLN biopsy in the radical operation for rectal cancer.

With the continuous improvement and innovation of modern engineering technology and biomedical technology,many efforts and process have been made on multifunctional prosthesis systems and have gained more and more attentions.The multifunctional powered prosthesis has become one of the research areas in the current muscular rehabilitation medicine and neural engineering.The bionic control of prosthesis,especially using the neural signal to control the upper prosthesis effectively,is one of the most important fields of prosthesis technology.Choosing the proper neural signals seems to be particularly important for bionic prosthetic control strategy.Currently,several different signal controls such as EMG control,EEG control,voice signal control and peripheral nerve signal control have been proposed and investigated for the bionic control of multi-function prosthesis.This paper reviews the latest efforts and progress of multifunctional upper prosthesis.

Objective To detect CD_(36) expressions in polycystic ovary (PCO), and to explore its correlation with local androgen and insulin at transcription level. Methods From August 2002 to February 2003, 12 patients with asymmetric PCO, 15 primary or secondary infertile patients without endocrine disorders and 8 polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with bilateral PCO were recruited. Extraction of follicular fluid and detection of testosterone(T), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), insulin (INS) and androstenedione (A_2) were performed. Relative CD_(36) mRNA expression level of human ovarian inner thecal cells was analyzed by auto image analysis system (IAS) after RT-PCR. Results The level of CD_(36) mRNA expression in thecal cells was 0.24?0.07 in polycystic ovary of PCO group and 0.21?0.05 in bilateral ovaries of PCOS group, respectively, which were significantly lower than 0.83?0.13 in normal ovaries (P

Objective To investigate whether endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) can be an alternative method for diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) by comparing the ability of EUS versus CT and transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) in the diagnosis of muddy stones of the common bile duct. Methods A prospective study was conducted for 53 patients suspected of muddy stones of the common bile duct who attended Nanxishan Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from July 2019 to December 2021, and all patients underwent EUS, TUS, and CT before ERCP. With ERCP and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for removing muddy stones of the common bile duct as the gold standard for the diagnosis of muddy stones of the common bile duct, EUS, TUS, and CT were compared in terms of their ability to display the muddy stones of the common bile duct. The chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. Results In the 53 patients, EUS, TUS, and CT had a positive rate of 88.68%, 50.94%, and 62.26%, respectively, in detecting muddy stones of the common bile duct. As for the positive results confirmed by EST under ERCP, EUS had a sensitivity of 93.75%, a specificity of 60.00%, and an accuracy of 90.57% in detecting muddy stones of the common bile duct, while TUS had a sensitivity of 56.25%, a specificity of 100.00%, and an accuracy of 60.38% and CT had a sensitivity of 66.67%, a specificity of 80.00%, and an accuracy of 67.92%. There was a significant difference between EUS and CT in the accuracy in detecting muddy stones of the common bile duct ( χ 2 =8.26, P =0.004), and there was also a significant difference in diagnostic accuracy between EUS and TUS ( χ 2 =13.05, P < 0.001). Conclusion EUS is more accurate than TUS and CT in the diagnosis of muddy stones of the common bile duct, and instead of ERCP, EUS is thus recommended for suspected muddy stones of the common bile duct when TUS and CT fail to identify the lesions in clinical practice, so as to make a confirmed diagnosis and reduce related costs and complications.
