1.Ultrasonic dynamic focus data reordering design based on FPGA.
Chinese Journal of Medical Instrumentation 2014;38(3):193-195
The existing analog reordering and folding technology has the following problems: it cause the attenuation of the ultrasonic signal, and it is difficult to achieve beam steering in color Doppler ultrasonic diagnostic instrument. This article proposes a design method to achieve digital reordering of dynamic focusing data. The digital reordering is composed of two parts, bit reordering which is implemented with multiplier and byte reordering using switch selection. The results show that it can meet the design requirements using fewer resources.

Purpose To explore brain MRI features in newborn infants with incontinentia pigmenti,and to enhance the understanding and diagnosis level of this disease.Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis on MRI data of 13 neonates with incontinentia pigmenti admitted to Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2009 to December 2016 and further confirmed by clinical,pathology and gene diagnosis were conducted.Such conventional MRI sequences as T1WI and T2WI as well as DWI and SWI sequences wereincorporated.Results Five out of 13 newborn infants with incontinentia pigmenti were abnormal in the MRI features.In the conventional sequence,slightly short T1 signals in bilateral frontal lobe and right parietal occipital cortex were identified in 3 cases,right basal ganglia hemorrhage in 1 case.Slightly short TI and long T2 signals in bilateral basal ganglia were observed in 1 case;1 case of subarachnoid hemorrhage and 1 ease of bilateral lateral ventriculomegaly were noticed as well.The lesion sites of 4 cases were observed high density signal in DWI findings,three of which were widely distributed in abnormal signals.Lobes deep in bilateral cerebral hemispheres and subcortical white matter,bilateral basal ganglia,thalamus,internal capsule,corpus callosum,brain stem and cerebellum were the most affected areas.DWI could detect lesion area earlier and more accurate thanconventional sequences.Conclusion Incontinentia pigmenti among newborn infants demonstrates a high incidence.MRI examination should be adopted the moment neurological symptoms occur.Incontinentia pigmenti is relatively distinct in DWI findings,and hence is helpful for early detection of lesions and evaluation of clinical prognosis.

The effect of Qizhi Jiangtang vapsule (QJC) on degree of dermal ulcer cicatrization in 2 type diabetic rats was studied. Except the rats for blank group, other male Wistar rats were used to establish type 2 diabetic model by feeding with high sugar and high fat diet for four weeks and intraperitonally injecting with 30 mg•kg⁻¹ streptozotocin (STZ). After that, the rats were divided into balanced groups according to blood sugar, and received corresponding drugs for treatment for 8 weeks. At the end of week 8, 2 cm diameter circular incision was done on the back of rats. After that, the rats were administered continuously for10 days. Area of ulcer surface was detected every two days. After the last administration, wound granulation tissues were cut down to conduct pathological examination and detect the expression of VEGF, PI3K, p-ERK protein in wound tissues. The results showed that compared with the model group, after application of Qizhi Jiangtang capsule (2.24 g•kg⁻¹), the wound was significantly reduced on day 6 and day 10 of wound formation; inflammation reaction on ulcer surface was significantly reduce; Qizhi Jiangtang capsule can increase VEGF expression in the wound tissues of diabetic rats, and inhibit ERK phosphorylation. It can be concluded that Qizhi Jiangtang capsule can promote skin ulcer healing for diabetes rats, and its mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of VEGA and p-ERK proteins.

To observe the hypoglycemic effect of Qizhi Jiangtang capsule in rats with type 2 diabetes, and investigate the preliminary mechanism of its hypoglycemic effect, type 2 diabetes rat models were established by high glucose and high fat combined with small dose of streptozotocin (STZ). After continuous administration for 6 weeks, blood glucose, and glycosylated serum protein (GSP) levels were detected in all of the animals; immunohistochemistry assay was used to detect the number of islet β cells; Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression levels of insulin receptor (InsR), phosphoinositide-3 kinases (PI3K), glucose transporter-2 (GLUT2) and phosphorylated Jun N-terminal kinases (p-JNK)in hepatic tissues. The results showed that Qizhi Jiangtang capsule could reduce the blood sugar and GSP levels in serum in animals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, increase the level of insulin in serum and number of islet β cells, increase the protein expression levels of InsR, PI3K and GLUT2, and reduce the level of p-JNK protein expression. In conclusion, Qizhi Jiangtang capsule has relatively stable hypoglycemic effect, and the mechanism may be associated with increasing the number of islet β cells and level of insulin in serum, up-regulating the protein expression levels of InsR, PI3K and GLUT2, down-regulating the level of p-JNK protein expression in hepatic tissues, and reducing the level of insulin in hepatic tissues.
