1.Monte Carlo simulation of the divergent beam propagation in a semi-infinite bio-tissue.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2013;30(6):1209-1212
In order to study the light propagation in biological tissue, we analyzed the divergent beam propagation in turbid medium. We set up a Monte Carlo simulation model for simulating the divergent beam propagation in a semi-infinite bio-tissue. Using this model, we studied the absorbed photon density with different tissue parameters in the case of a divergent beam injecting the tissue. The simulation results showed that the rules of optical propagation in the tissue were found and further the results also suggested that the diagnosis and treatment of the light could refer to the rules of optical propagation.

According to that Y-chromosomal sequence in characterised by Y-specific repeat DNA family (DYZ1 ), which contain 800-5000 copies, a pair of primers Y3, Y4 is designed to amplify their 446bp long of specific DNA segment by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), so as to detect male fetal cells in materal blood. In this paper male fetal cells in maternal blood can be detected by PCR amplification of unpurified DNA from maternal peripheral blood during various stages of gestation (early, middle, late). Compared with villi, ammotic fluid and deliverd neonate sex their coincident rate are 93%. 100%, 87. 5% respectively among three periods. It is revealed that noninvasive examining fetal cells from peripheral blood of pregnant women for diagnosis of sex-linked inherited diseases is significant valuable.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To evaluate the clinical application of single nucleotide polymorphism array ( SNP array) in prenatal diagnosis for screening the abnormality of women with Down’ s syndrome ( DS) .METHODS:The amniotic fluid samples ( n=312) collected by amniocentesis for the DS screening abnormality women were tested by karyotyping and SNP array analysis, respectively.The findings of karyotyping and SNP array analysis were compared.RESULTS:Two cases of trisomy 21 were identified by karyotyping and SNP array analysis, but SNP array analysis failed to identify 6 cases of chro-mosome balanced structural rearrangement.SNP detected 176 cases copy number variants ( CNVs) in 303 cases normal karyotype were detected by SNP, including 106 benign CNVs, 61 variants of unknown significance (VOUS), 9 de novo CNVs, and none of them was pathogenic.The distribution difference of CNVs in DS screening positive group and DS screening positive plus advanced maternal age group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) .Furthermore, we reported 14 kinds of CNVs for the first time in population.CONCLUSION:SNP array can further assure chromosome microdupli-cation/microdeletion.In normal karyotype fetus of prenatal diagnosis, SNP can detect some clinical significant CNVs.

Objective To study the effects of the integrity of the tensor tympani muscle on the postoperative hearing recovery and the morphology of tympanic membrane,to provide the reference for the handling of the tensor tympani muscle during the operation.Methods A total of 145 cases of chronic tympanitis were grouped by the integ-rity of the tensor tympani muscle and the implanted types of biological auditory ossicles,the clinical data were ana-lyzed retrospectively.There were 80 cases in the tensor tympani muscle intact group,including 45 cases of PORP group and 35 TORP group.The tensor tympani muscle rupture group of 65 cases consisted of 34 cases of PORP group,and 31 cases of TORP group.The postoperative recovery conditions of tympanic membrane morphology, hearing threshold Ac and air-bone gap(ABG)between the tensor tympani muscle intact group and the tensor tym-pani muscle rupture group were compared 1 month or 3 months,and 6 months after the operation.ResuIts One month after the operation,there was no significant difference in tympanic membrane morphology between the two groups.Three months after the operation,the tensor tympani muscle intact group had a higher ratio about the loca-tion and shape of tympanic membrane ,closer to the normal than the tensor tympani muscle rupture group in which the ratio in the intact group was 81.25% (65/80),while in the rupture group it was 52.31% (34/65 ).After 6 months,with the operation of PORP,the tensor tympani muscle intact group of AC value was 27.48±10.02 dB HL, and ABG value was 13.57±6.36 dB,while the rupture group of AC value was 32.36±9.34 dB HL,and ABG value was 25.73±7.44 dB.With the operation of TORP,the tensor tympani muscle intact group of AC value was 28.76± 7.14 dB HL,and ABG value was 21.02±5.48 dB,while the rupture group of AC value was 39.93 ±5.12 dB HL, and ABG value was 31.41±6.25 dB.The postoperative recovery condition of the tensor tympani muscle intact group was better than those of in the rupture group.ConcIusion The tensor tympani muscle can maintain the morphology and location of the postoperative tympanic membrane.The integrity of the tensor tympani muscle may has a positive effect on the improvement of the postoperative hearing.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic responses to transsphenoidal surgery and medical therapy in terms of normalization of prolactin(PRL),mortality,morbidity and the cost-effectiveness of PRL normalization in order to establish an individualized therapeutic protocol for the patients with prolactinoma.Methods A retrospective study was undertaken of a consecutive series of patients with prolactinoma who were followed for at least 1 year after transsphenoidal surgery or medical treatment.The clinical characteristics and the long-term outcomes(normalization of PRL,morbidity or mortality)were assessed.Utilizing the principle of medical economics and data from the two types of treatment,we worked out a Markov chain and calculated the lowest cost of two kinds of therapeutic protocols.Results(1)The success rate of normalizing serum PRL through surgical treatment in microadenoma was 85%(22/26),and that of medical treatment was 95%(19/20).There was no statistical difference between the two therapies(P>0.05).The success rate of normalizing serum PRL through surgical treatment in macroadenoma was45%(19/42),and that of medical treatment was 5/5.There was a statistical difierence between the two therapies(P<0.05).(2)According to the Markov model,it would cost a microprolactinoma patient 25 129.25 yuan to normalize serum PRL by surgical treatment.This is comparable to the cost of medical treatment which would be 24 943.99 yuan.Whereas for a macroprolactinoma patient surgery would cost 35 208.20 yuan and medical treatment would cost 25 344.38 yuan.Conclusions Medical therapy is superior to surgical treatment in regard to complication rate and cost-effectiveness for macro-and extra big prolactinomas.Transsphenoidal surgery remains an option for patients with microadenomas.Markov model is an effective way to predict the treatment cost for patients with hyperprolactinoma at different ages and with different canses

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in classification of fetal arrhythmias, and conclude characters of each type of arrhythmias by analyzing wave forms of TDI. Methods Fifty-five fetuses suffered arrhythmia were included in study group. By comparing the results with control standard(M and PW), the sensitivity, specificity and reliability of TDI in diagnosis of fetal arrhythmias was calculated. At last, the character of waves by TDI of each type of arrhythmia was concluded. Fetal kinetocardiogram was made to identify the origin of arrhythmias. All cases were asked to perform electrocardiography and echocardiography examination after birth. Results The sensitivity, specificity and reliability of TDI was 98%, 100% and 100%, respectively. The character of atrioventricular waves and kinetocardiogram of 8 types fetal arrhythmias were conclude. Conclusions TDI has great value in classification of fetal arrhythmias.
