In this paper, according to the requirement of the focused sound field measurement, a focused sound field measurement system was established based on the LabVIEW virtual instrument platform. The system can automatically search the focus position of the sound field, and adjust the scanning path according to the size of the focal region. Three-dimensional sound field scanning time reduced from 888 hours in uniform step to 9.25 hours in variable step. The efficiency of the focused sound field measurement was improved. There is a certain deviation between measurement results and theoretical calculation results. Focal plane--6 dB width difference rate was 3.691%, the beam axis--6 dB length differences rate was 12.937%.

3.Correlation between polymorphism in the promoter of DNA methyltransferase-3B gene and susceptibility of colorectal cancer
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2013;36(5):266-269
Objective To observe and analyze the correlation between the DNA methyltransferase-3B (DNMT3B) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) rs 1569686 and the susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC) in Tianjin Han population.Methods A case-control study was performed.89 CRC patients and 94 normal controls were examined,and Sequenom MassArray system was applied to detect the genotype of rs1569686 in DNMT3B gene polymorphisms.The association results were analyzed of the SNP and CRC.Results The frequencies of genotypes TT,GT and GG at SNP rs1569686 were 74.2%,24.7% and 1.1% in CRC patients respectively,which there were no significant differences from that in controls(73.4%,23.4% and 3.2%; P>0.05).Conclusion It suggests that the SNP rs1569686 of DNMT3B gene may not be related to susceptibility of CRC in Tianjin Han population.

Objective To study the protective role against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by using radix astra-gali in rats. Methods Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups. Group A received saline as controls. Group B received radix astragali. Group C received injection of cisplatin(4 mg/kg) as experiments for 6 days. Group D received both radix astragali (5 g/kg) and cisplatin (4 mg/kg). Distortion product acoustic emission (DPOAE) was applied to each rat before and 7 days after cisplatin injection. All the animals were sacrificed on the 7th day. Half of the cochleas were observed by frozen section and the apoptosis of hair cells was detected by TUNEL meth-od. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to evaluate the cochlear morphology of the other rats. Results The DPOAE amplitudes of Group C decreased significantly compared to the group A and group B(P<0.01). The dam-age and apoptosis of hair cells were noted in the group C and group D, while the hair cells of group A and group B showed no sign of apoptosis or damage. Compare to experimental group , the DPOAE amplitudes of group D were higher, and the damage and apoptosis of hair cells were significantly lower(P<0.05). Conclusion This study sug-gests that radix astragali can effectively reduce cisp[atin ototoxicity.

Objective: To express recombinant human angiostatin for further application in clinic. Methods: The complete encoding eDNA of human angiostatin was isolated from human embryo liver with RT-PCR and expressed in secretory Pichia expression system. Recombinant human angiostatin was purified with heparin sepharose chromatography and its activity was determined in chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) and wound healing assays. Results: Expressed in large quantity (yield=5 mg/L) and purified with heparin sepharose, recombinant angiostatin was showed to have a molecular weight of 43 kD in SDS-PAGE and potently inhibit angiogenesis and wound healing. Conclusion: Recombinant human angiostatin was expressed efficiently in a biologically active form.

Objective:To evaluate curative impact of booster immunization with paternal lymphocytes on recurrent spontaneous abortors(RSA)with less reaction of primary patermal lymphocyte immunization.Methods:RSA patients with insufficient materno-fetal immuno-recognition were selected by flow cytometry of blocking antibody analysis and immunized with either induced paternal lymphocytes pretreated by IFN-? in vitro to those of anti-CD3-BE and anti-CD4-BE Ab lower than 0% or direct intradermal vaccination with their paternal lymphocytes without IFN-? pretreatment to those of anti-CD3-BE Ab beyond 0%.Reassessment of blocking antibodies was performed at the end of the second immnunization course.Results:Levels of blocking antibodies were significantly raised after the secondary booster immunization in RSA with insufficient materno-fetal immnuno-recognition whose blocking antibodies continuously decreased after being treated by the primary paternal lymphocyte immunization.No improvement of parameters was observed except the blocking effect in patients receiving secondary direct intradermal vaccination treatment.Conclusion:It is necessary for the RSA with insufficient materno-fetal immuno-recognition to experience secondary booster immunization preferably with paternal lymphocytes pretreated by IFN-? in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the influence of different field-strength magnets(1.5 T and 3.0 T)on MRI artifacts caused by Ni-Cr alloy fixed prostheses.Methods The crown,bridge and upper denture fixed prostheses with different thickness were produced by Ni-Cr alloy as test samples,and were one by one put on the centre of water phantom for MR scanning with different field-strength magnets(1.5 T and 3.0 T).The artifact areas on these two field-strength magnets were measured and statistically compared.The plastic prostheses with the same shape and thickness as the test samples were served as controls.Results Ni-Cr alloy fixed prostheses could cause MRI artifacts,and the artifact areas increased with the mass of prostheses.However,no artifact area was found in controls.Compared with those on 1.5 T magnet,the MRI artifact areas significantly increased on 3.0 T magnet(P

Adipose-tissue mesenchymal stem cells, is one kind of multipotent stem cells, can differentiate into adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic, myogenic cells and so on in vitro and in vivo. Human adipose tissue is plentiful, easily harvested in large quantity with little patient discomfort. Adipose-tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells may be an alternative stem cell source for mesenchymal tissue regeneration and engineering without ethical consideration of embryonic stem cells and severe pain resulted by bone marrow procurement. The research work on adipose-tissue mesenchymal stem cells and future clinical perspectives were reviewed.
