Objective To evaluate the changes of middle cerebral arterial (MCA) hemodynamics before and after intraluminal stent-assisted angioplasty for their stenosis. Methods A total of 11 patients with MCA stenosis treated by intraluminal stent-assisted angioplasty were selected. In these cases, their stenosis before treatment and the state of stents after treatment were observed using transcranial color Doppler ultrasonography(TCCD). Meanwhile, the blood flow velocities (including peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity and mean velocity) were measured and studied comparatively at stenosis and post-stenosis place before and after the treatment, respectively. Results ①Among 11 cases implanted stents, 10 stents were in good state after treatment, only one expanded incompletely. ②The blood flow velocities were significantly higher in patients at stenosis place than in normal adults, and lower at post-stenosis place before treatment (P<0.05). The blood flow velocity lowered obviously at stenosis place after treatment (P<0.05) ,among which 90.9% were restored. The one which expanded incompletely was slightly higher. The blood flow velocity increased at post-stenosis place after treatment (P<0.05) and all returned to normal.Conclusions TCCD can observe the MCA stenosis and the state of stent,and analyze the changes of their hemodynamics.

Objective: To explore the underlying mechanism by which acupuncture regulates the peripheral leukocyte count and observe the relationship between the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) and the spleen ultrastructure in leukopenia. Methods: Leukopenia models of rabbits were established by injecting cyclophosphamide (CY) into rabbits' ear vein,and then the rabbits were treated with acupuncture. The peripheral leukocyte count and classification were measured daily. At last, after the animals were anesthesized, the abdominal cavity was opened, and a piece of spleen tissue was cut. The diameter of splenic sinusoid basal lamina eyehole was measured under electric microscope. Results: The peripheral blood leukocyte count in the EA group increased significantly with shift to right of the granulocyte nuclei compared with model control group (P＜0.01). Moreover, the calibers of splenic sinusoid basal lamina eyehole in the EA group were larger than those in the model control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture can enhance the peripheral leukocyte count by promoting spleen activity in the early phase of leukopenia.

Purpose To investigate the value of three-dimensional quantitative measurement of spiral CT in evaluating tumor size and preoperative T stage in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and Methods The complete data of 125 patients with stage I NSCLC confirmed surgically and pathologically were compared in terms of maximum tumor diameter and T stage analysis by means of three-dimensional quantitative CT measurement, two-dimensional measurement and general pathology measurement. Results The mean maximum tumor diameter of these 125 patients measured by quantitative three-dimensional CT measurement, two-dimensional measurement and general pathology measurement were (26.21±8.14) mm, (27.03±9.90) mm and (25.60±9.31) mm, respectively. The difference in mean maximum tumor diameter by two-dimensional measurement and three-dimensional quantitative measurement was significant, and remained so when two-dimensional measurement and pathology measurement was compared (t=2.377, P<0.05;t=2.961, P<0.01), but that between three-dimensional quantitative measurement and pathology measurement was not significant (t=1.281, P>0.05). Bland-Altman analysis showed that three-dimensional quantitative measurement had higher consistency than two-dimensional measurement when compared with the gold standard pathology measurement. When three-dimensional quantitative measurement was taken to be the staging criterion, 20% results (25 cases) obtained by two-dimensional measurement proved to be inconsistent. Conclusion Compared with two-dimensional measurement, quantitative three-dimensional CT measurement can provide more accurate information in maximum tumor diameter and T stage for patients with stage I NSCLC, therefore can be applied as a more accurate criterion in preoperative staging and prognosis of stage I NSCLC.

OBJECTIVEDue to random sampling of non-adaptive, high-quality reconstruction of the original signal, one-dimensional non-stationary multi-channel EEG signal can be achieved automatic detection and analysis.

METHODSA new multicomponent redundant dictionaries with the atoms of the Gaussian function and its first and second derivatives was built in the paper, and reconstructed signal base on compressed sensing measurement model.

RESULTSThe selected dictionary atoms can more effectively match the EEG signals in a variety of transient characteristics of the waveform, allowing the formation of EEG signal is more sparse matching pursuit decomposition. With the theory based on compressed sensing signal sampling, only half of the original signal with different sample size can be used to reconstruct the original signal quality, the important instantaneous features of the waveform can well be maintained.

CONCLUSIONSignal sampling based on the theory of compressed sensing contains enough information of the original signal, using the prior conditions of EEG signals (or compressibility) sparsity, high-dimensional signal and original image can be reconstructed through a certain decoding of linear or nonlinear model.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of needle-knife fistulotomy (NKF)for difficult cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods Data of patients, who received NKF on the back of major papilla when bile duct could not be accessed by conventional cannulation and/or other pre-cut methods during ERCP, were retrospectively reviewed. The success rate of deep cannulation and its complications were observed and analyzed. Results NKF was performed in 108patients due to difficult cannulation, which succeeded in 97 (91.2%) in access to the bile duct and failed in 11 patients with malignant biliary strictures. The failure rate in patients with distal malignant obstruction was higher (25. 8%, 8/31) than those with proximal lesions (5.3%, 3/57) (P = 0. 014, χ2 = 5. 983).Post-ERCP pancreatitis occurred in 5 cases (4. 6%), with the incidence significantly higher in NKF-failure group (18. 2%, 2/11) than that in NKF-suocess group (3.1% ,3/97) (P = 0. 006, χ2 = 7.418). Intestinal perforation occurred in 1 patient and cholangitis developed in 4 others, which all recovered after conservative managements. Conclusion NKF for difficult cannulations in ERCP is safe and effective, especially in hands of experienced operators, but cannulation success rate is relatively low in distal malignant biliary obstruction.
