The method of triggering the respirator to perform airfeed by the management of the diaphragmatic electromyography (EMG) signal is introduced in this paper. By using LabVIEW, an analysis software of the diaphragmatic electromyographic (EMG) signals is developed to filter the diaphragmatic EMG signal. The characteristics of the filtered signal is analyzed to catch the inspiratory onset, and then a series of signals are sent out duly to trigger the respirator to perform airfeed, and thus the patient's respiration can be synchronized with the respirator.

Objective The effect of serum exosome isolation method on obtained exosomal RNA is not yet clear .The aim of this study was to provide evidences to selected exosome isolation methods .Methods This was a method comparison study to assess three methods .Vein blood samples were collected from 3 healthy donors from Nanfang hospital , 4 ℃ 12 h was taken to make blood natural coagulated and the supernatant was taken as the serum . Exosomes extracted by Ultracentrifugation , ExoQuick and Total Exosome Isolation Reagent ( TEI ) kits from serum were assessed by transmission electron microscopy , nanoparticle tracking analysis and protein analysis to identify morphology , protein expression , concentration and size distribution of particles .ExoRNA extracted by Trizol-LS, SeraMir, Total Exosome RNA Isolation ( TER) and exoRNeasy were assessed by Bioanalyzer 2100 and qPCR to ascertain RNA distribution and miRNA expression.Results For exosomes isolation , two commercial kits ( ExoQuick and TEI ) showed higher exosomes recovery and protein concentration than ultracentrifugation , but exosome isolated by ultracentrifugation expressed abundant protein makers mostly .For exo-RNA isolation, the distribution of RNA and expression of miRNAinfluenced by three methods , but there was no effect on the relative expression trend of miRNA.ExoRNeasy resulted in the highest yield and most narrow size distribution pattern of small RNA with higher level of miRNA expression .Results of TEI with TER kits showed no obvious bands of small RNA and moderate miRNA expression among methods .Ultra with Trizol-LS or ExoQuick with SeraMir showed low concentration measurable bands around 100 nt, with changeable miRNA profiling irregularly . Conclusions Extraction of exosomes using traditional ultracentrifugation method is applicable for proteomics research work .Extraction using ExoQuick and TEI kits is suitable for preparing exosomes from scarce samples such as serum.

Objective:To identify the current situation of contract signing for family physician services in Luohu District, Shenzhen, and to explore the associated factors with contract signing and access to services.Methods:Using the WeChat official account of"People′s Hospital of Luohu", an online survey was conducted to investigate the status of family physician′s contract services for residents in Luohu District from May 19th to 25th, 2019. A total of 14 487 valid responses were received. Chi-square test and Logistic regression models were used to analyze the contract signing of family physician services and the related factors.Results:8 560 (59.09%) of the participants had signed with a family physician, and 12 696 of them had learnt about the service before. The awareness rate of family doctor services was 87.64%. The contract signing rate of those unemployed, who living or working in Luohu less than 5 years, who living alone, having no Shenzhen medical insurance, or having not heard of family physicians signing services were less than 50%. The signing rate was positively correlated with the awareness of family physician contract service, as well as the possibility of accepting signed medical examination, traditional Chinese medicine services and health information. Only 9.70% of the contractors received health services information.Conclusions:The contract Signing rates and awareness rate of family physicians among young and middle-aged residents in Luohu District are relatively high. However, access to contract services varies considerably. The signing rate and accepted services are mainly affected by job, length of residence in Shenzhen, type of medical insurance, and understanding of contract.

Objective:To investigate the application of post-mortem tissue sampling under ultrasonography guidance in the autopsy of COVID-19 cases.Methods:Ultrasound-guided post-mortem tissue sampling of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen were performed in 24 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from Feb 20 to Mar 28, 2020. Seventeen males and seven females aged 39-91(66.6±10.6) years old were enrolled. The total time required for each post-mortem sampling was recorded, and the size of the samples collected from each organ was measured. The success rate of ultrasound-guided post-mortem tissue sampling for each organ was calculated.Results:Ultrasound images could clearly show the needle path and enabled accurate placement of the needle within the target organs, including heart, lung, liver, kidney, and spleen. The total time required for sampling was about 32-54 (39.8±5.7)min. The lengths of heart, lung, liver, kidney, and spleen tissues collected by ultrasound-guided sampling were 10(8, 14)mm, 13(12, 15)mm, 14(13, 15)mm, 13(11, 15)mm, 14(13, 15)mm, respectively. The success rates of heart, lung, liver, kidney, and spleen tissue sampling under ultrasound guidance were 87.5% (21/24), 91.7%(44/48), 100%(24/24), 89.6%(43/48) and 83.3%(20/24), respectively.Conclusions:Post-mortem sampling under ultrasonography guidance may be a rapid and reliable method for collecting of heart, lung, liver, kidney, and spleen tissues in the autopsy of COVID-19 cases.

Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia (COVID-19) outbreak has occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and the epidemic situation has continued to spread. Such cases have also been found in other parts of the country. The spread of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has brought great challenges to the clinical practice of thoracic surgery. Outpatient clinics need to strengthen the differential diagnosis of ground glass opacity and pulmonary plaque shadows. During the epidemic, surgical indications are strictly controlled, and selective surgery is postponed. Patients planning to undergo a limited period of surgery should be quarantined for 2 weeks and have a nucleic acid test when necessary before surgery. For patients who are planning to undergo emergency surgery, nucleic acid testing should be carried out before surgery, and three-level protection should be performed during surgery. Patients who are planning to undergo emergency surgery in the epidemic area should be confirmed with or without novel coronavirus pneumonia before operation, and perform nucleic acid test if necessary. Surgical disinfection and isolation measures should be strictly carried out. Among postoperative patients, cases with new coronavirus infection were actively investigated. For the rescue of patients with novel coronavirus infection, attention needs to be paid to prevention and treatment and related complications, including mechanical ventilation-related pneumothorax or mediastinal emphysema, and injury after tracheal intubation.
