With the rapid development of internet and computer technology, the interact has become the richest information resource of the world, and there comes a large potential and broad prospect for the development of internet medium information monitoring. In this paper, we discuss the information monitoring mode of foreign traditional medicine which released by the internet medium. We will discuss the monitoring mode in five steps: automatic information collection-information classification and storage-"human-computer cooperated" data processing and information analysis-dynamic output of information- information feedback.

Objective To investigate the gastric empty and electrogastrogram(EGG) in patients with renal insufficiency before and after hemodialysis, and to study the enteric nervous system (ENS) in experimental acute renal failure rats.Methods The comparisons of gastric emptying and EGG before and after hemodialysis were carried out in 15 patients with uremia who have gastrointerstinal symptoms. Acute renal failure models were also established. The neuroplexus of ENS and levels of some gut hormones were investigated. Results The EGG and gastric emptying were abnormal in patients with uremia before hemodialysis, but improved after dialysis. The neuroplexus of ENS with positive nitric oxide synthase(NOS) staining in rats with acute renal failure was significantly decreased. The levels of gastrin, vasoactive intestinal peptide and motilin in rats with acute renal failure were (159.1?55.6)?g/L, (121.6?48.9)pg/L, and (6.32?3.55)pmol/L, respectively, which were significantly different from those of the control group(P

Objective; To investigate the stress distribution in implant-bone interface with different pitches by three-dimension finite element analysis method in order to decide the best design of thread parameters for stress distribution. Methods: Built three-dimension finite element models of partial mandible and dental implant with superstructure. The stress distributions in bone and three kinds of implants whose pitches were 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm respectively, under axial and oblique 45 degree to axle concentrated load. Data were analyzed by Cosmos/works software. Results;The maximal Von-Mises stress, tensile stress and compressive stress of implant with 0.8 mm pitch were lower than others, the stress distribution was even. The stresses in the same model under oblique load were much higher than those under axial load. The stress concentrated more on implant neck, upper part of cortical bone and the lowest thread on implant. Conclusion; The pitch of implant has effect on stress distribution in implant-bone interface and the transmission of occlusal force. The lower threads on implant should be cut to avoid the concentration of stress, and the non-axial force should be reduced as possible as we can or avoided when we design and make implant denture.

Objective To discuss the possible enteric nervous pathogenesis in gastritis related GI motor disorders on the expression changes of protein gene product9. 5 in neurons from the gastric walls of gastritis rat model. Methods 35 clean grade Wister rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, which included gastritis group A (n =10), gastritis group B(n =15) and control group(n =10). Rats in gastritis group A and B received gastric perfusion of HP and the mixture of 2% aspirin and 0. 6N hydrochloric acid respectively. The control group only received gastric perfusion of saline. All of the rats were killed and the gastric mucosal tissues were obtained for the pathological and HP examination. After immunohistochemical pretreatment, the tissues were stained with PGP9. 5 and at the same time the maximum diameter (Dmax, μm), mean area(μm2) and mean optical density (nm) of the neurons from the gastric walls were compared among the groups with Image-Pro Plus professional image analysis system. Results In gastric group A, HP could be found sparsely in the mucous layer or gastric pits, and all of the rapid urease tests were positive. In the other two groups, HP could not be found, and all of the rapid urease tests were negarive. In both gastric group A and B, different grades of inflammatory cell infiltration with active inflammation signs could be found in the deep layers of mucosa, while the control group was normal. The expression mean area, mean optical density of neurons from the gastric wall of rat in group A[(77. 10 ±48. 46) μm2, (53. 25 ±41.40) nm] or B [(73. 92 ± 39. 60) μm2, (45.33 ± 33.20) nm] was obvious lower than control group [(143.51 ± 29. 84) μm2, (85. 00 ± 14. 32) nm], while there was no significant difference between gastric group A and B (P >0. 05) (table 1). Conclusions Hp and NSAIDs might cause gastritis and decrease the PGP9. 5 expression of Neurous from gastric walls. The decrease of PGP9. 5 expression of neurons from the gastric wall might contribute to the pathogenesis of GI motor disorders or symptoms of functional dyspepsia.

Objective To investigate the image quality,radiation dose and iodine intake of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in patients using low tube voltage (100 kVp) combination of different noise indexes (NI) and low concentration contrast agent.Methods A total of 80 patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) and other pulmonary diseases who had undergone CTPA were divided into four groups (A,B,C and D),with 20 patients in each group.Group A underwent 120 kVp CT scan protocol in combination with NI=25 and 370 mg iodine/ml contrast agent,while groups B,C and D underwent 100 kVp CT scan protocol in combination with NI=30,35,40,and 320 mg iodine/ml contrast agent,respectively.All images were restructured using 60% adaptive statistical iterative algorithm 2.0.Objective image quality evaluation included CT values of pulmonary artery,noise values of pulmonary artery,signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR).Subjective image evaluation used a 5-point scoring method and was conducted by two independent radiologists.The CT dose index of volume (CTDIvol),dose-length product (DLP) and iodine intake was recorded,and the mean value was calculated.The DLP was converted to the effective dose (ED).Analysis of Variance or Kruskal-Wallis test was used to evaluate the differences among the four groups in terms of image quality,radiation dose and iodine intake.Results There was a significant difference in CT values of pulmonary artery among the groups A,B,C and D (P<0.05),and the CT values of pulmonary artery of group A was the lowest.There was no significant differences in noises of pulmonary artery,SNR,CNR and subjective indexes scores among the groups A,B,C and D (P>0.05).There was a significant difference in iodine intake among the groups A,B,C and D,iodine intake of the group A was the highest,iodine intake of the group D was the lowest.The iodine intake of groups B,C and D decreased by 12.4% (42/340),13.2% (45/340) and 15.0% (51/340) relative to group A,respectively.There was a significant difference in radiation dose among the groups A,B,C and D,The CTDIvol,DLP and ED of group D decreased by 45.3% (3.9/8.6),48.6% (120/247) and 48.3% (2.02/4.18) relative to group A,respectively (P<0.01).Conclusion Low tube voltage combination with high NI value and low concentration contrast agent can more effectively reduce the radiation dose and iodine intake for CTPA while maintaining diagnostic image quality.
