The database design of multi-focal visual electric-physiological examining system is introduced in this paper.Microsoft Access 97 is used to design the database.VC++ can append,query or delete records of the database through DAO interface.It reflects such advantages that the database is easy to be managed and convenient to be queried.The design pattern can be transplanted to other medical devices' design.

Objective To summarize the experience with cadaveric renal transplantation for improving the long-term survival rate of the recipients.Methods The clinical data of 1210 cases(773 men and 437 women;age range,6-75 years) of cadaveric kidney transplantation from 1986 to 2003 were analyzed retrospectively,including the resection of the donor's kidneys,surgical techniques,use of immunosuppressants,and complications.The 1210 patients underwent renal transplantation for most of them(1047 cases) suffered from chronic glomerulonephritis.Lymphocytotoxicity test was performed in 1210 cases with all

Objective To assess the prognostic value of C-reactive protein/albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).Methods The study comprised 406 ccRCC patients undergoing nephrectomy between January 2003 and December 2012 in our hospital.There were 253 males and 153 females,aged 24-80 years,with a median age of 58 years.There were 355 cases with TNM Ⅰ stage,38 cases with Ⅱ stage,30 cases with Ⅲ stage,3 cases with Ⅳ stage.There were 376 cases with tumor necrosis and 40 cases without tumor necrosis.There were 395 cases of vascular invasion,21 cases without vessel invasion.The correlations among the pretreatment CRP/Alb ratio,clinicopathological parameters,and overall survival (OS) were evaluated.We compared the prognostic value of the CRP/Alb ratio with GPS and mGPS using the area under the curve (AUC).Results CRP/Alb ratio was associated with age at surgery (P =0.007),TNM stage (P ＜ 0.001),tumor necrosis (P ＜ 0.001) and lymphovascular invasion (P ＜ 0.001),and OS (P ＜ 0.001).The multivariate analysis confirmed that the CRP/Alb ratio independently predicted the OS of patients with ccRCC (P ＜ 0.001),the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) (P =0.001) and modified GPS (mGPS) (P =0.019) were also independent prognostic factors.For predicting 3-year survival,the AUC values for CRP/Alb (continuous),CRP/Alb (categorical),GPS and mGPS were 0.88,0.84,0.85,0.80.For predicting 5-year survival,the AUC values for CRP/Alb (continuous),CRP/Alb (categorical),GPS and mGPS were 0.80,0.79,0.76,0.72.The CRP/Alb ratio was superior to GPS and mGPS in predicting the 3-or 5-year survival rate of ccRCC patients.Conclusions The CRP/Alb ratio could be an independent prognostic factor in ccRCC patients.The CRP/Alb ratio could take the place of the GPS and mGPS in terms of predicting prognosis in ccRCC.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of scalp acupuncture combined with repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on dysphagia after ischemic stroke.Methods:Prospective cohort study. A total of 94 patients with dysphagia after ischemic stroke in our hospital who met the inclusion criteria from December 2020 to February 2022 were randomly divided into two groups with 47 patients in each group. The control group was treated with rTMS and conventional acupuncture, while the scalp acupuncture group was treated with rTMS and scalp acupuncture (scalp acupuncture+seven points at the skull base). Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) symptoms were scored, and the morphology, movement and food swallowing process of the patient's swallowing anatomy were observed with fiber optic endoscopy (FEES), and assessed by the leakage aspiration scale (PAS). The Yilang Fujishima swallowing efficacy evaluation and standard swallowing assessment (SSA) were used to evaluate swallowing function. The dysphagia quality of life scale (SWAL-QOL) were used to evaluate patients' quality of life. Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scanning was performed to observe the anisotropy fraction (FA value) of the selected region of interest (ROI).Results:During the treatment period, each group dropped off 1 patient, and 92 patients entered the statistics. After treatment, the scores of salivation, food retention, eating and drinking cough in the scalp acupuncture group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 6.87, 4.90, 5.01, respectively, P<0.01), and the PAS grading was significantly better than that in the control group ( χ2=7.80, P=0.025), the swallowing efficacy evaluation and SWAL-QOL score of Yilang Fujishima were significantly higher than those of the control group ( t=6.81, 5.98, P<0.01), and the SSA score was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t=5.68, P<0.01). The FA values of parieto occipital cortex (0.47 ± 0.06 vs. 0.42 ± 0.04, t=3.16), insular cortex (0.44 ± 0.07 vs. 0.40 ± 0.05, t=3.00) and posterior limb of internal capsule (0.58 ± 0.04 vs. 0.54 ± 0.05, t=2.80) of ROI in the head acupuncture group after treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The scalp acupuncture combined with rTMS can improve the swallowing function of patients with dysphagia after ischemic stroke and improve their quality of life.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the outcomes of hybrid procedure in treating 10 infants/children with pulmonary stenosis under transesophageal echocardiographic guidance.
 METHODS: Between September, 2009 and December, 2015, 10 infants/children underwent hybrid procedure of transthoracic balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty for pulmonary stenosis in the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. The age, height and weight at the time of admission were 0.7-42 (14.8±15.8) months, 53-97 (74.8±16.3) cm, and 4-15.5 (9.3±4.1) kg, respectively. Atrial septal defect, patent foramen ovale, patent ductus arteriosus, muscular ventricular septal defect, persistent left superior vena cava and tricuspid regurgitation were found in 2, 6, 1, 2, 1 and 5 cases, respectively.
 RESULTS: After the operation, all patients were sent into ICU. The mean duration mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and hospitalization were 0.5-41(6.8±12.3) h, 2-85 (31.1±22.8) h, and 6-20 (11.4±5.1) d, respectively. Postoperative transvalvular pressure gradient reduced to 16-45 (31.1±9.8) mmHg, which was decreased significantly compared with that in preoperative (P<0.001). There was no death during hospitalization and follow-up.
 CONCLUSION Hybrid procedure of transthoracic balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty for pulmonary stenosis under transesophageal echocardiographic guidance is a safe and effective treatment.
