In many medical instrumentation systems, there exists a long distance between manipulation platform and host unit. Wireless data transferring between the platform and the host could be a feasible way to set parameters. This paper introduces wireless transmitter and receiver circuit based on encoder chip PT2262 and decoder chip PT22720, and presents some typical applications in medical instrument development.

Objectiye To investigate the relationship between microsatellite instability (MSI) and mismatch repair gene (MMR) in lung carcinoma,and to analyze its action in lung carcinogenesis.Methods DNA was extracted from 50 cases of lung carcinoma and adjacent normal tissue.SSCP was used to detect MSI.Immunohistochemistry was performed to measure the expression of hMLH1 and hMSH2 protein in lung carcinoma.Results Of the 50 cases of lung carcinoma,14 with high MSI,21 with low MSI,and 15 with microsatellite stability,0 with MSI in normal group (P = 0.000).Lack of hMLH1 and hMLH2 staining was found in 37 of 50 (74 %) and 16 of 50 (32 %) lung carcinoma tissues with MSI,respectively; but both of hMLH1 and hMSH2 positive staining was found in the lung carcinoma tissues with MSS.Conclusion MSI appears to be associated with lung carcinogenesis,and inactivation of either hMLH1 or hMSH2 may be responsible for MSI,suggesting that MSI may become one of diagnosis indexes of lung carcinoma.

Aim: To develop a new preparation consisting of colon adhesive pellets of sodium 4-amino salicylate for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, and to characterize the adhesive of the prepared pellets. Methods: Centrifu-gation-granulation was used to prepare sodium 4-amino salicylate pellets into which HPMC K4M and Carbomer 934P as matrix were incorporated. The pellets were coated with Surlease~((R)), and filled into enteric-coated cap-sules. The release of sodium 4-amino salicylate from the pellets was evaluated in the pH 7. 4 buffer. The adhesive property of the pellets was characterized by evaluating the transit rate of the pellets in the rat intestine in vivo, and by determing the remaining( %) of the pellets in the isolated rat colonic segment in vitro. The adhesive of the pel-lets in vivo was also verified by X-rays. Results: It was shown that the resultant pellets of round shape, good uni-formity in size, and favorable rigidity possessed the colon-adhesive and sustained-release properties. Conclusion:The simple, economical and practical approach was sucessfully utilized in the preparation of sodium 4-amino sa-licylate pellets with the remarked colonic adhesion and targeting.

Objective To design an instrument that can provide a series of pulse to stimulate cell by means of external electric field, the structure and function of organism can retrieve. Methods AVR MCU, produced by America ATMEL Co., is used as the core of the system. The program has been developed to adjust three pulse's parameters, including amplitude, frequency and pulse duration. The cooperation between DAC and OP completes the transformation from monopole pulse to bipolar pulse. The booster PB50 amplifies the current and voltage of the output. Results The Stimulator can provide bipolar pulse, amplitude: up to ?40V, frequency: 0.01Hz -10Hz, pulse duration: 0.4ms -24ms. Conclusion Cooperating with special electrode board, the instrument can provide effective electric field for cell simulating. At present the instrument has been used in the research of the endothelial progenitor cell.

Hapten-carrier protein conjugates were made using ciprofloxacin (CPFX) and two carrier proteins by 1-ethyl-3-(3- dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) method. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry were used to demonstrated that the molecule conjugate ratio of CPFX to ovalbumin (OVA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) are 6:1 and 13:1 respectively. Nondenaturing gel electrophoresis results revealed that the conjugate band migrates differently from that of the carrier protein alone and of the EDC-treated protein when as few as 6 molecules of CPFX are attached to the carrier protein. The results indicate that nondenaturing gel electrophoresis and ultraviolet spectrophotometry can be employed to analyze the molecule coupling ratio of CPFX to carrier proteins qualitatively and quantitatively.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of omeprazole combined with octreotide in treatment of patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Methods96 patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups.All the cases were received basic treatment of fluid infusion,transfusion and nutritional support.The control group( n =48) was treated with omeprazole alone,and the treatment group(n =48) was treated with omeprazole and octreotide.The course of treatment was 3 days.The vital signs,24h urine output,the number of cases of rebleeding in 72 h and adverse drug reactions was observed and recorded.ResultsThe total effective rate in treatment group and control group was 91.7％ and 72.9％,respectively.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant( x2 =5.79,P ＜0.05 ).The time of hemostasis and blood transfusion volume in treatment group were significantly less than those in control group(t =7.69,9.91,all P ＜0.05).The rebleeding rates after 72 hours of hemostasis between the two groups(8.3％ vs 25.0％ ) was significantly different ( x2 =4.80,P ＜ 0.05 ).In the course of treatment,the side effects weren' t found in both groups.ConclusionOmeprazole combined with octreotide was more effective and safe than omeprazole alone in fast stopping bleeding and reducing rebleeding rate.

Objective To report a case of Majocchi's granuloma induced by var. raubitschekii of Trichophyton rubrum, and to evaluate the relationship between deep and superficial fungal infection with genotyping technique. Methods The patient underwent physical, pathological and mycologic examination,which included microscopic observation, fungal culture, and urease reaction. The sequence of intertranscribed spacer (ITS) of rDNA was analysed by PCR and sequencing. Isolates from affected toes and tissue as well as one reference strain and six clinical strains of T. rubrum, were subjected to analysis of the tandem repeat subelement(TRS-1) in nontranscribed spacer(NTS)of rDNA by PCR. Results A 48-year-old female patient presented with a 2-month history of red papules and nodular lesions on the back, buttock and thigh,as well as a 3-year history of onychomycosis which had become more severe after a liver transplantation 9 months before. Pathological and mycologic examinations confirmed the diagnosis of Majocchi's granuloma. The pathogen was identified as var. raubitschekii of T. rubrum by microscopic examination, fungal culture, positive urease reaction and the sequence of ITS. As shown by the amplications of TRS-1 of NTS, the genotypes of strains from affected nails and tissue were identical, but differed from those of other clinical strains of T.rubrum. Conclusions There is a polymorphism in TRS-1 of rDNA NTS of T. rubrum, with the genotypes of isolates from affected nails and tissue being identical, which suggests they are of the same origin.
