The present circuit was designed to apply to human tissue impedance tuning and matching device in ultra-short wave treatment equipment. In order to judge if the optimum status of circuit parameter between energy emitter circuit and accepter circuit is in well syntony, we designed a high frequency envelope detect circuit to coordinate with automatic adjust device of accepter circuit, which would achieve the function of human tissue impedance matching and tuning. Using the sampling coil to receive the signal of amplitude-modulated wave, we compared the voltage signal of envelope detect circuit with electric current of energy emitter circuit. The result of experimental study was that the signal, which was transformed by the envelope detect circuit, was stable and could be recognized by low speed Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) and was proportional to the electric current signal of energy emitter circuit. It could be concluded that the voltage, transformed by envelope detect circuit can mirror the real circuit state of syntony and realize the function of human tissue impedance collecting.

Objective To investigate the epidemic patterns and the characteristics of influenza in Chi-na through a Meta-analysis based on the studies published in domestic literatures.Methods Related articles published during 2005 to 2012 were screened out from domestic databases and analyzed through a Meta-analysis with Review Manager 5.0 software.Results Twenty-two articles covering 957 901 patients with influenza-like-illness (ILI) and 148 233 pathogen samples were screened out according to the inclusion criteria.No significant difference with the ILI diagnosis rate was found between subjects at age 0-4 years and those at age 15-59 years. Higher ILI diagnosis rates were observed in those two groups as compared with subjects elder than 60 years old. Most of the pathogen samples were carried by subjects aged 25-59 years.More influenza virus strains were isola-ted in 2009 as compared with those of the seven other years (OR=2.25, 95%CI=1.27-3.70).There was sta-tistical difference between the numbers of influenza A H1N1 and seasonal influenza A strains (OR=2.25, 95%CI=1.30-3.91) .Significant difference was also observed between the numbers of influenza A and influenza B strains (OR=4.05, 95%CI=2.53-6.47).Conclusion There was significant difference with the diagnosis rate between subjects aged 0-4 years and those aged≥60 years.More attention should be paid to people at high risk of infection (0-4 years old and≥60 years old) and those at 25-29 years with high mobility and social inter-course for the timely prevention and control of pandemic influenza.The detection rate of influenza virus strains was increased during the outbreak of novel influenza A H1N1 infection in 2009.After that outbreak, the detec-tion rate of novel influenza A H1N1 strains was 2.25 times the rate of seasonal influenza strains.The detection rate of influenza A was 4.05 times the rate of influenza B virus strains.Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the surveillance for influenza A virus and other epidemic influenza virus strains.

Objective To investigate the expressions of β-catenin and lymphoid enhancer factor 1(LEF1) mRNA in acute leukemia(AL)and their correlation. Methods Real-time PCR was used to examine the expres-sions of β-catenin and LEF1 mRNA in 62 de novo acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients,23 de novo acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)patients,20 controls and 4 kinds of cell lines:K562,HL-60,THP-1 and Raji. Results The expression level of β-catenin in AML group was significantly higher compared with the control group,but LEF1 mRNA expression in AML group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P <0.05). The expression levels of β-catenin and LEF1 mRNA were all significantly higher in ALL group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). There were significantly positive correlations between β-catenin and LEF1 mRNA expressions both in AML and in ALL groups(P<0.05). Among the three AML cell lines,THP-1 cell had the highest β-catenin mRNA expression and the lowest LEF1 mRNA expression,and the expression tendencies of these two genes in THP-1 cell line were in accordance with those in AML patients. Conclusions Activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway happends in AL patients and β-catenin/LEF1 may play a role in leukemogenensis of ALL.

OBJECTIVE:To explo re the dose-effect relationship and mechanism of protective effects of total asiaticoside (TA) on gastrointestinal motility and enteric nervous system (ENS)in aged functional dyspepsia (FD)model rats. METHODS :Aged male SD rats of 16 months old were randomly divided into blank control group ,model group ,TA low dose ,medium dose and high dose groups (15,30,60 mg/kg),with 8 rats in each group. FD model was established by tail-stimulation combined with irregular diet for 4 weeks. The next day after modeling ,administration groups were given relevant doses of TA solution intragastrically ; control group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically ,once a day ,for consecutive 15 d. Gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate of rats were examined. ELISA were used to detect serum contents of MTL and VIP. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry were proposed to measure the expression of ENS marker (S100β and GDNF)in gastric antrum tissue. The protein expression of S 100β,GFAP,PGP9.5,GDNF,p-MEK and p-ERK 1/2 in gastric antrum tissue were measured by Western blotting assay. RESULTS :Compared with blank control group ,gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate ,serum MTL content and protein expression of PGP 9.5 in gastric antrum tissue of model and TA low,medium dose group were decreased significantly ,while serum VIP content ,protein expressions of S 100β,GFAP,GDNF, p-MEK and p-ERK 1/2 in gastric tissue were increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with model group ,gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate of TA groups were increased significantly (P<0.05);except for GFAP protein in TA low dose group(P>0.05),the serum MTL content and the expression of PGP 9.5 protein in gastric antrum tissue of rats in TA groups were increased significantly ,while serum VIP content ,protein expression of S 100β,GFAP,GDNF,p-MEK and p-ERK 1/2 in gastric antrum tissue were decreased significantly (P<0.05). Some or most of the content of gastrointestinal motility indexes and related factor protein expression were significantly different among TA groups (P<0.05),and the indexes in TA high dose group could recover to the levels which were not significantly different with blank control group (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS :TA can dose-dependently improve the gastrointestinal motility deficiency and ENS dysfunction in aged FD model rats ,especially in high dose(60 mg/kg)of TA group. Its mechanism may be related with promoting the release of endogenous MTL ,inhibiting the secretion of VIP ,expression of GDNF and the activation of downstream signaling pathway ,and promoting the repair of ENS and intestinal neurons.

【Objective】 To study the effect of air inlet modes on the temperature variation, fluctuation, uniformity and coefficient of variation(CV), so as to evaluate the stability and uniformity of the temperature field in refrigerated warehouse for blood. 【Methods】 The temperature changes of blood refrigerated warehouse under different modes of air inlet during compressor operation were analyzed. The stability of the temperature field in the storehouse was evaluated by the changes, fluctuation, uniformity, CV and deviation of temperature at each testing point. 【Results】 The average value of temperature in the storehouse, adopting air inlet via straight blow, was (4.98±0.92)℃, while that of air inlet via micro-hole mode was(4.15±0.25)℃, with significant differences between each other(P<0.05). As to the CV of temperature, air inlet via straight blow was significantly different from that via micro hole(P<0.01). The fluctuation, uniformity and deviation of temperature created by straight blow and micro hole were 1.85±1.11 vs 0.49±0.38, 1.00±0.68 vs 0.47±0.37, and 0.61±0.45 vs 0.27±0.21, respectively, with significant differences between each other(P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 Compared with straight blow, the mean temperature created by micro hole was closer to the median value (4℃) of the temperature range, i. e.(4±2)℃, during blood storage. Otherwise, micro hole demonstrated a smaller CV of temperature, and superior performance in fluctuation, uniformity and deviation of the temperature at the testing points, which was conducive to ensure the stability of storehouse temperature field.
