4.Screening and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity: current status, problems and prospects in China
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2012;28(1):3-7
Early detection and timely treatment hold the key to cure retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).ROP screening is carried out unevenly in China.Examination equipments and personnel experiences are the major factors to constraint ROP screening.In addition to strengthening personnel training,it is necessary to establish a standard guideline and pipeline for ROP consultation and referral. Laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy are the first options for the threshold ROP and Type 1 pre-threshold ROP.Scleral buckling or vitrectomy is needed for advanced ROP when retinal detachment occurs. The clinical efficacy of intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monoclonal antibody) for severe ROP is encouraging,but needs further verification.Genetic interference and stem cell therapy will be the prosperous futures in the treatment of ROP.The screening and treatment of ROP in China is becoming more common and improved,but it is still a long way to go considering the huge population of China.

6.An Algorithm for Microcirculatory Blood Flow Velocity Measurement Based on Trace Orientation in Spatiotemporal Image.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2015;32(2):446-450
The velocity of blood in vessels is an important indicator that reflects the microcirculatory status. The core of the measurement technology, which is based on spatiotemporal (ST) image, is to map the cell motion trace to the two-dimensional ST image, and transfer the measurement of flow velocity to the detection of trace orientation in ST image. This paper proposes a trace orientation measurement algorithm is based on Randomized Hough Transformation and projection transformation, and it is able to estimate trace orientation and flow velocity in noisy ST images. Experiments showed that the agreement between the results by manual and by the proposed algorithm reached over 90%.

8.Developing trends of transcutaneous functional electrical stimulation for hand function reconstruction after spinal cord injury
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(17):-
A spinal cord injury at a level above T1 often results in a partial or complete loss of the hand function. Transcutaneous functional electrical stimulation is a method to stimulate the handicapped limb muscle by low frequency impulsive current to generate muscle contraction. The immediate effect can replace or correct the lost function to promote function reconstruction through adjusting high-level nerve center and improve daily activity. Functional electrical stimulation provides a efficient therapy for the rehabilitation of patients with spinal injury, and brings a hope to improve the quality of life of paraplegina patients. However, transcutaneous functional electrical stimulation requires assistance to place the equipment on the patients and technical support. Both patients and their families often have too high expectations from this therapy, and become disappointed since the results are not satisfactory. Therefore, we should continue to carry out studies on the parameters and equipments of functional electrical stimulation, and renovate the stimulator to make it more convenient and efficient.
