BACKGROUND:To obtain more quantum dot (QD) barcodes,the overlay peaks of fluorescence occur,leading to difficulties in identifying QD barcodes.OBJECTIVE:To identify QD barcodes of two adjacent wave length using wavelet transform technique.METHODS:Through the microscopy,the spectrum of fluorescence induced by 375 nm light was captured by spectroscopy.The spectral signal was split into multi-scale components by wavelet transform.After transformed by spline function,every component constructed a new spectrum with peaks expanded by inverse wavelet transform.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Interpolation operation was performed on original data to control the data length to 2n.Following wavelet transform,peak location remained unchanged,so the eigenvalue of spectrum of coding fluorescence was extracted.The spectrum of fluorescence mixed with microspheres was split,and two QD barcodes were identified.The improved barcodes identification of adjacent spectrum increase color of QD barcodes,thereby enhancing code information volume.Results show that following spectrum was processed by wavelet transform,overlay peaks of fluorescence has be expanded,and enhanced the efficiency of recognition,which lays a foundation for detecting tumor markers.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the medication safety status of Chinese patent medicines and related influence factors for residents in Guangdong province,and provide reference for better guarantee of medication safety for residents. METHODS:Questionnaires were randomly sent out among the residents in 3 cities of Guangdong province. The cognition,utilization habit and safety awareness,the ways to get the related information of Chinese patent medicines and purchase way were surveyed and ana-lyzed statistically. RESULTS:Totally 530 questionnaires were sent out and 514 valid questionnaires were collected with effective re-covery of 96.98%. There are 64.01% of respondents didn’t know the composition of Chinese patent medicines;50.39% didn’t know the contraindications of Chinese patent medicines;48.44% didn’t know the adverse drug reactions of Chinese patent medi-cines that they were using;23.47% had once broken the tablets when took them;65.18% didn’t know that the old people had less dosage than teenagers and 44.75% didn’t know that Chinese patent medicines couldn’t be taken with some western medicines. There were many ways to get the related information of Chinese patent medicines and purchase them,and the main sources were from doctors and pharmacists in drug stores;90.08% had purchased Chinese patent medicines in drug stores. CONCLUSIONS:During daily medication of Chinese patent medicines,the biggest problem for residents is that the weak awareness of medication safety,unreasonable medication behavior and habit caused by lack of related knowledge of medication safety,which may cause safety risks or happen medication safety problems. Therefore,the residents’education of self-medical knowledge should be intensi-fied,the management of prescription in drug stores should be enhanced,pharmaceutical service function of pharmacists should be played,supervision management of drug advertisement should be strengthened and the contents in drug instructions should be regu-lated.

Objective To investigate the incidence of radioactivity uptake in thymus combined with serum thyroglobulin (Tg) increase in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients after high-dose 131I treatments,in order to discuss the mechanism of thymus iodine uptaking and Tg increasing.Methods Retrospective analysis of the laboratory examinations and 131Iwhole body scan (131I-WBS) images in 316 DTC patients were performed.The radioactivity uptake in thymus and the Tg level were observed.Results Among 316 patients (total 735 case-times),4 patients of 5 cases-times 131I-WBS showed radioactivity uptake in thymus,accounting for 0.68％ (5/735).All the radioactivity uptake in thymus were found by posttreatment 131I whole body scan (Rx-WBS) and after the second radioactive iodine treatment.For 1 of 4 patients,Rx-WBS still showed thymic uptake 131I after the third radioactive iodine treatment.The serum Tg increased in 3 patients (4 caestimes Rx-WBS) of radioactivity uptake in thymus with the Tg level before Rx-WBS was 13.80 μg/L,＞300.00 μg/L,16.40 μg/L,20.60μg/L,respectively.Conclusion In order to avoid the inappropriate administration of radioiodine therapy,thymic uptake should be identified carefully in DTC patients whose radioactivity uptake is only found at the upper mediastinal and combined with serum Tg increase.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on serum procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cells(WBC) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in children with necrotising fasciitis (NF) and its efficacy, and explore the diagnosis value of above indicators.Methods From March 2011 to June 2014,50 cases children with acute necrotic fasciitis treated in Children's Hospital of Hebei Province as study group,which were randomly divided into hyperbaric oxygen group (n =25) and routine group (n =25) .The routine group received the routine therapy of incision and drainage to clear the lesion, hyperbaric oxygen group received hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the basis of routine group,while 50 healthy children were selected as control group.The serum PCT, WBC, hs-CRP levels, efficacy, complications, death and hospitalization time were observed and compared.Results The serum PCT, WBC and hs-CRP levels pre-treatment in study group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).The area under the ROC curve of PCT and hs-CRP was 1.000,respectively, and WBC was 0.804, there were significant difference between PCT and WBC (Z=5.250,P=0.000), between hs-CRP and WBC (Z=5.037,P=0.000).After treatment, the wounds of 23 case patients (92.00%) were cured in hyperbaric oxygen group, and 21 cases in routine group (84.00%) , there were no significant difference in cure rate between two groups.There were six cases(24.00%) of complications and one case (4.00%) of death in hyperbaric oxygen group,while nine cases (36.00%) of complications and two cases (8.00%) of death, there were no significant difference in complications rate and death rate between two groups.The hospitalization time in hyperbaric oxygen group was (39.17 ±6.73) d, which was significantly lower than (52.13 ±4.28) d in routine group(P<0.05).Conclusion PCT and hs-CRP have certain value in diagnosis of children with acute necrotizing fasciitis; incision and drainage combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a better clinical effect in the treatment of children with acute necrotizing fasciitis.

Abstract: Objective　The study aims to investigate the diagnosis quality and accuracy of syphilis cases reported by medical facilities in Inner Mongolia, understand possible problems and influencing factors in reporting and diagnosis, providing evidence for the better formulation of syphilis control and prevention. Methods　Cross-sectional survey was conducted with 2 counties sampled randomly from 12 municipals of Inner Mongolia, different medical facilities were covered. Syphilis cases reported from July 2019 to June 2020 in medical institutions of different categories were sampled and checked. The quality and accuracy of syphilis case reporting were evaluated according to the identifiers in "Syphilis Diagnosis (WS 273-2018)" and "National STD Case Reporting Quality Management Scheme (2018)". In addition, the basic information of medical institutions and the implementation of syphilis detection in laboratories were investigated, and the physicians who reported the case first were interviewed to understand their mastery of syphilis diagnosis and reporting, thus analyzing the major factors influencing the accuracy of reports. Results　The reporting rate of syphilis in medical institutions in Inner Mongolia was 99.04% (311/314), the missing-report rate was 0.96% (3/314), the timely reporting rate was 98.05% (1 659/1 692), the completeness rate was 99.64% (1 686/1 692), the correct rate was 99.35% (1 681/1 692), the accuracy rate of internet-based input was 84.63% (1 432/1 692). There were statistical differences in the quality (χ2=13.95, P<0.05; χ2=11.40, P<0.05) and accuracy （χ2=30.06, P<0.05; χ2=44.93, P<0.05) of reports among different municipals and different types of medical facilities. The accuracy rate of syphilis reporting by medical institutions was 86.17% (1 458/1 692), the correct rate for classifying diagnosis was 87.06% (1 473/1 692), and the accuracy rate of staging was 90.25% (1 527/1 692). Multivariate logistic regression results showed that whether the first-clinic physician attended training in the past three years [OR=6.26, 95%CI: (2.12-18.46)] and whether they grasped the key points of syphilis classification standard [OR=2.79, 95%CI: (1.21-6.46)] influenced report accuracy. Conclusions　The quality of reports in Inner Mongolia medical institutions is generally high, but the accuracy rate of reporting and correctness of network input have not yet reached the target requirement of 95%. There is still room for improvement in reporting and diagnostic capabilities. It is suggested to further strengthen the training frequency and coverage for physicians on syphilis diagnosis standard.

The retinal blood oxygen quantification method is a fast and non-invasive new retinal vascular imaging technology, which is used to reflect the metabolism of retinal blood oxygen and the micro-circulation of whole body by measuring, analyzing and quantifying the blood oxygen saturation of the main arteries and veins of the retina. The circulation state provides a reliable basis for medical diagnosis. Retinal blood oxygen saturation can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis and evaluation of ophthalmologic and brain diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion, retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma and Alzheimer's disease.
