Objective To propose a method & Implementation for automatic blood ingredient separating and transferring.Methods Whole blood could be layered after centrifugal processing,and the color of the layers appeared different certainly.So color sensors could be used to receive different color signals of ingredient blood to control the process of separating whole blood and transfer different blood ingredients to different blood bags.When plasma was extruded out of the whole blood,resistance-strain pressure sensor was used to get the weight,and the air was cleaned out through extrusion movement.Air cleaning automatic control was realized through examining the intensity of pressure in the blood bag by photoconductive resistance.When the process of separating blood finished completely,the glue pipes could be heated automatically.The device adopted main-subsidiary configuration,the master was mostly in charge of separating and transferring blood ingredients of whole blood and the assistor was used to extrude out the air remains in the plasma bag and get the weight of the plasma.Results The assistor was made actually by using a PC as a virtual master to conduct experiments debugging and improve the assistor,and then the precision of electronic weighing reached 0.5g while the air in blood bag was almost cleaned absolutely.A communication protocol was developed and the serial communication between the master and the assistor were realized by VC6.0.Conclusion This method and device can automatically separate and transfer different blood components fast and efficiently,thus meeting the automation needs of the blood station.

A case of a fibrous histiocytoma (FH) of the larynx in a 54-year-old male is reported. Laryngeal fibrous histiocytoma is uncommon. The case recurred several times over 4-year period. Its pathology is described including arguments on potential malignancy and the way of management.

Objective To investigate the macrophages (Mφ) phenotype mechanism in acute kidney injury caused by severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Sixty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (SO) and SAP group (n =32 in each group).SAP rat model was made by retrograde cholangiopancreatic injection of 5％ sodium taurocholate.At 2,6,12 and 24 h after modeling,the samples of blood and kidney tissue were collected.The levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were detected by using automatic biochemical analyzer.The expressions of IL-12,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA of kidney tissue were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR).The levels of CD68,iNOS and Arg-1 were measured by Western blot.Results In the SAP group at each interval,BUN and Cr concentrations were significantly higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05) ; Compared with the control group,the expressions of IL-12,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA in renal tissue of SAP group were significantly higher (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05).In the SAP group,the levels of CD68,iNOS and Arg-1 were higher than those in the control group.Conclusions Inflammation and inflammatory imbalances may be pathological factors of acute kidney injury following SAP.

Objective To investigate the effect of triggering receptor expression in myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) on intestinal macrophage apoptosis in rat.Methods In vitro,the achieved rat intestinal macrophages were divided into 3 groups:control group,LPS (Lipopolysaccharides) group and LPS + LP17 group (n =6 holes of culture plate in each).The concentrations of LPS and LP17 were 1 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L,respectively.The intestinal macrophage apoptosis was measured by using TUNEL kit and flow cytometry after culture for 6 h.All data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 18.0 software.Results The shape and growth of rat intestinal macrophages were quite favorable after culture.The membrane marker of intestinal macrophages,CD14 was clearly observed under immunofluorescence.After macrophage was treated with specific procedure,the cell apoptosis found in LPS group (44.33 ± 7.74)％ was significantly higher than that in control group (19.17 ± 6.01) ％ (P=0.000) measured by TUNEL;the cell apoptosis in LPS +LP17 group (28.33 ± 6.53)％ apparently reduced compared with LPS group (44.33 ±7.74) ％ (P =0.004);there was no significant difference in cell apoptosis between control group (19.17 ± 6.01) ％ and LPS + LP17 group (28.33 ± 6.53) ％ (P =0.050).By flow cytometry,the apoptotic cells in LPS group (16.47 ± 1.66) ％ was significantly increased compared with control group (7.70 ± 1.52) ％ (P =0.000);apoptotic cells in LPS + LP17 group (11.47 ± 3.12) ％ was significantly reduced in comparison with LPS group (16.47 ± 1.66) ％ (P =0.018).There was no significant difference in apoptotic cells between control group (7.70±1.52)％ and LPS + LP17 group (11.47±3.12) ％ (P =0.061).Conclusion LP17 can inhibit TREM-1 expression in intestinal macrophages and reduce intestinal macrophage apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of adductor spasmodic dysphonia phonatory break in mandarin Chinese and select the stimuli phrases. METHOD: Thirty-eight patients with adductor spasmodic dysphonia were involved in this study. Standard phrase " fù mŭ xīn" and a speech corpus in mandarin Chinese with 229 syllables covering all vowel and constant of mandarin Chinese were selected. Every patient read the phrases above twice in normal speed and comfortable voice. Two auditory perpetual speech pathologists marked phonatory break syllables respectively. The frequency of phonatory break syllables and their located phrases were calculated, rated and described. The phrases including the most phonatory break syllables were selected as stimuli phrases, the phonatory break frequency of which was also higher than that of standard phrase "fù mŭ xīn". RESULT: Phonatory break happened in the reading of all patients. The average number of phonatory break syllables was 14 (3-33). Phonatroy break occurred when saying 177 (77.3%) syllables in the speech corpus. The syllables "guŏ, rén, zāng, diàn, chē, gè, guăn, a, bā, ne, de" broke in 23.1%-41.0% patients. These syllables belonged to the phrases "pĭng guŏ, huŏ chē, shì de, nĭ shì gè hăo rén, wŏ mén shì yŏu zŏng shì bă qĭn shì nong dé hĕn zāng, wŏ mén nà biān yŏu wăng qiú yùn dong chăng, cān gŭan, jiŭ bā hé yī gè miàn bāo dìan, tā shì duō me kāng kăi a,wŏ yīng gāi zài xìn lĭ xiĕ yī xiē shén mē ne?". Thirty-seven patients (97.3%) had phonatory break in above mentioned words. Ratios of these words phonatory break also were more than "fù mŭ xīn". CONCLUSION Adductor spasmodic dysphonic patients exhibited different degrees of phonatory break in mandarine Chinese. The phrases" shì de, pĭng guŏ, huŏ chē, nĭ shì gè hăo rén, wŏ mén nà biān yŏu wăng qiú yùn dong chăng, cān gŭan, jiŭ bā hé yī gè miàn bāo dìan, tā shì duō me kāng kăi a" were recommended as stimuli phrases for adductor spasmodic dysphonia evaluation.
