A new enhancement method is proposed based on the characteristics of fundus images in this paper. Firstly, top-hat transform is utilized to weaken the background. Secondly, contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) is performed to improve the uneven illumination. Finally, two-dimensional matched filters are designed to further enhance the contrast between blood vessels and background. The algorithm was tested in DIARETDB0 databases and showed good applicability for both normal and pathological fundus images. A new no-reference image quality assessment method was used to evaluate the enhancement methods objectively. The results demonstrated that the proposed method could effectively weaken the background, increase contrast, enhance details in the fundus images and improve the image quality greatly.

Objective To investigate the effect of different concentrations of dexmedetomidine on the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in neonatal rat induced by propofol in vitro. Methods Hippocampal neurons of primary cultured neonatal SD rat were divided randomly into three groups. Group C (control group)was normal cultured without any treatment for 12 h; group P (Propofol group)was incubated with 12 μg/mL propofol for 12 h and group DP (Dexmedetomidine + propofol group)was incubated with 0.002 5 ~ 25 μg/mL dexmedetomidine for 30 min, and then further incubated with 12 μg/mL propofol for 12 h. Results Compared with that of group C, the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons increased in group P and DP (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01); Compared with that of group P, the apoptosis rate of neurons decreased with the increase of dexmedetomidine concentration in group DP (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The result of transmission electron microscope indicated that compared with group C , group P showed obvious neuronal damage; the nerve cells damage alleviated in group DP, which were negatively associated with the concentration. Conclusions With the concentration ranging from 0.002 5 to 25 μg/mL, dexmedetomidine set pre-incubation and breeding can reduce apoptosis of hippocampus neuron of neonatal rats induced by propofol and the effect is concentration dependent.

Objective To explore the acquired deficiencies of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors in etiology, clinical characteristics and treatment. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the data of etiology, clinical manifestations of 45 patients with acquired deficiencies of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factor. All patients were treated with Vitamin K1 10 -40 mg/d, i. v. , for three months. Some patients with severe blooding were additionally treated with fresh freezing plasma or prothromibin complex. Prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thromboplastic time(APTT) were measured using Stago automatic blood coagulation analyzer before and after treatment. Ⅱ , Ⅶ, Ⅸ and Ⅹ were measured in some patients. Results Among the 45 cases, no certain cause was found in 19 cases (42.2%), anticoagulant rodenticides poison was a common cause ( 11 cases,42.3% ). The main presentations was hemorrhage, the most common bleeding sites were mucosa (77.8%) (35/45)and hematuria (46.7%) ( 21/45 ). After vitamin K1 treatment, PT and APTT had shortened remarkably from ( 110.35 ± 35.36 ) s,(98.91 ±48.98)s to (13.48 ±2. 17)s,(33.25 ±6.95)s,respectively(t=19.10 and 6.19,Ps <0.01)and the activities of factor Ⅱ、Ⅶ、Ⅸ、Ⅹ had rapidly increased from ( 17.48 ± 10.93 ) %, ( 10.23 ± 5.68 )%, ( 11.98 ±4.69)%,(12.93±7.48)% to (70. 12 ±21.31)%,(92.76 ±29. 15)%,(88.64 ±40. 21)%,(63.97 ±20.11)%(t=12.13,14.43,13.27and9. 74,respectively,Ps<0. 01).Conclusions The histories of patients with acquired deficiencies of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors are usually hiding, therefore it is easily misdiagnosed. It is worth of detecting PT and APTT in diagnosis and monitoring. Using vitamin K1 10 -40 mg/d is effective and safety.

Objective:To analyze the causes, influencing factors and trends of dead on arrival cases in children′s Hospital in the past 5 years, aiming to provide direction and basis for reducing the dead on arrival cases of children.Methods:We collected the dead on arrival cases in the department of emergency at Shanghai Children′s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019, classifed and analysed the gender, age, native place, death season, time of death, and possible causes of death, and then studied the correlation between above factors and the cases.Results:A total of 151 dead on arrival cases were collected.The annual number decreased year by year, and boys were more than girls in gender.Most of them were infants under 1 year old, and nonlocal children were more than Shanghai native.The above differences were statistically significant, but there was no significant difference in the distribution of death season and death time.In terms of the cause of death, perinatal diseases accounting for 33.8%(51/151), those accompanied with severe underlying diseases accounting for 39.1%(59/151), accidental death accounting for 14.6%(22/151), unexplained deaths accounting for 12.6%(19/151). Those distribution differences were statistically significant( χ2=32.497, P<0.001). Meanwhile, there were statistic differences in gender and age of the cases with severe underlying diseases( χ2=4.898, P=0.027; χ2=32.169, P<0.001), and the year and age distributions of the accidental death cases also had significant differences( χ2=16.636, P=0.002; χ2=14.727, P=0.002). Conclusion:To reduce dead on arrival cases of children, we should do a good job in perinatal health care and screening, reduce premature birth and birth defects, actively conduct propaganda to prevent children′s accidental injuries, popularize medical first aid knowledge, and strengthen children′s transport system.
