DICOM medical data may be blocked by firewalls between terminals when DICOM3.0 Standard is applied in transmission via Internet. Since most of the firewalls are opened for emails, this paper introduces a new method that uses both email and DICOM3.0 protocols to transmit medical images via Internet.

In comparison with the clinical PET scanner,PET scanner for small animals puts forward a higher demand in spacial resolution and sensitivity. This article describes the development of the PET scanner for small animals and compares the characteristics of several kinds of contemporary typical PET scanners for small animals in different aspects based on the development of detectors. Meanwhile,it also introduces the development of the detectors designed for measuring depth of interaction (DTC) to reduce parallax error.

Objective To study the result of Alexandrite laser hair removal after subcutaneous in-jection of?-MSH in anagen-induced C57BL6mice.Methods Hair shafts were depilated by wax/resin mix-ture to induce hair follicles from telogen to anagen in60C57BL6mice.The mice were randomly divided in-to groups A,B,C and D.Groups A and B were injected with0.5mg/kg and0.25mg/kg of?-MSH,respec-tively,on the back skin subcutaneously once a day.Group C was injected with the same dose of normal saline.Group D was treated as blank control.Groups A,B and C were exposed to Alexandrite laser on ana-gen(substageⅣ).Biopsies were taken before treatment and0.5h,2and28days after treatment.Speci-mens were stained with Masson-Fontana method before treatment,and with haematoxylin and eosin after treatment.The cutaneous response was observed after laser hair removal.Hair regrowth was assessed28days after treatment.Results The mean gradation value of folliclar melanin was increased in the test groups than that in control group before laser hair removal.Extent of folliclar damage and cutaneous adverse reaction af-ter laser treatment was more severe in test groups than those in control group.Hair regrowth was less obvious in test groups than that in control group,while local hyperpigmentation was increased in test groups than that in control group28days after treatment.No scarring was observed in3groups.Conclusion Subentaneous injection of?-MSH could increase melanin of the hair,decrease hair regrowth,and enhance local pigmenta-tion after laser hair removal in anagen-induced C57BL6mice.

Objective: Compare merits and drawbacks of existing ablative and non-ablative rejuvenation technologies, and complete study and design of a skin rejuvenation device based on a new rejuvenation mechanism using broad-spectrum infrared light (1100 nm ～1800nm). Methods: This article firstly presents skin rejuvenation mechanism based on the broad-spectrum infrared light, and then independently design by using corresponding systems at home and abroad for reference to make a high-quality device with lower costs compared to international corresponding systems. The device has a modular architecture design including system control module, power module, infrared emission, human machine interface, water circulating cooling and switch control module. The article details three key points in design: how to generate the required infrared pulsed light, human machine interface and anti-interference design. Results: The article gave the architecture diagram and human machine interface. The technical parameters measured by experiments satisfied the design requirements and the device can be used in clinics. Its stability, reliability and energy uniformity all meet requirements of infrared rejuvenation treatment. Conclusion: The device will have good applying prospect and market prospect in medical cosmetics.

Objective: To prepare a nanoprobe, anti-human melanoma ganglioside single chain variable fragment (GD/ScFvMEL) antibody conjugated with CdTe quantum dot, and to observe its ability to specifically bind human malignant melanoma cells. Methods: The GD/ScFvMEL gene was cloned into pET32a (+), and the plasmid was then transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) for GD/ScFvMEL protein antibody expression. The expressed GD/ScFvMEL antibody was purified by denaturing method and further refolded by modified dialysis method. The purified GD/ScFvMEL antibody was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The GD/ScFvMEL-QDs nanoprobe was prepared by conjugating GD/ScFvMEL antibody with CdTe quantum dot, and its specificity was observed by incubating with MGC-803 cells and melanoma A375 cells. Results: The recombinant pET32a-GD/ScFvMEL was constructed and confirmed by PCR, restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequencing. The proportion of expressed GD/ScFvMEL antibody in total bacteria proteins was about 40% as detected by SDS-PAGE. The purified- and refolded-GD/ScFvMEL antibody was effectively conjugated with CdTe quantum dot, and the resulting GD/ScFvMEL-QDs nanoprobe was successfully prepared. The GD/ScFvMEL-QDs nanoprobe could specifically bind melanoma A375 cells, but could not bind stomach cancer MGC-803 cells. Conclusion: We have successfully prepared an anti-human melanoma ganglioside single-chain antibody-CdTe quantum dot nanoprobe, which can specifically bind melanoma cells.

In this paper, we used the eletrotactile vision substitution system designed by ourselves to display Chinese characters on the 16x16 electrode array through some simple image processing algorithms and multiplexing technology. Based on this, simple Chinese character recognition experiment was conducted. The result of the experiment shows that the electrotactile vision substitution is a feasible solution for the blind to read simple Chinese characters and the result also solidifies the foundation of further study about more complex real-time image electrotactile display.

PURPOSE: Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, multi-system vasculitis of unknown aetiology with complicated and diversified clinical features predominantly involving oral and genital ulcers, and ocular and cutaneous lesions. The clinical features of this disease have been described to be different according to geographical areas and gender. We investigated the specific clinical features of BD patients in Northeastern China. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 116 patients involved in this study fulfilled the classification criteria of the International Study Group for BD. The clinical manifestations and results of laboratory tests of BD were recorded in each patient. RESULTS: The onset was typically between 20-39 years with a slight female predominance. Oral ulcers were the most common manifestation, followed by skin lesions, positive pathergy reaction/genital ulcers, and ocular lesions. Vascular lesion and epididymitis were rare in patients with BD. The frequency of erythema nodosum-like lesion and articular involvement were significantly higher in females, while gastrointestinal involvement was significantly higher in males. The results of laboratory tests showed that the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*51 alleles were positive in 30.9% of patients and the immunological abnormities were present in some patients. CONCLUSION: The clinical features of BD showed geographical and gender difference. Genetic and immune factors might participate in aetiopathogenesis of BD.
