1.Medical image processing based on wavelet characteristics and edge blur detection.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2014;31(3):493-498
To solve the problems of noise interference and edge signal weakness for the existing medical image, we used two-dimensional wavelet transform to process medical images. Combined the directivity of the image edges and the correlation of the wavelet coefficients, we proposed a medical image processing algorithm based on wavelet characteristics and edge blur detection. This algorithm improved noise reduction capabilities and the edge effect due to wavelet transformation and edge blur detection. The experimental results showed that directional correlation improved edge based on wavelet transform fuzzy algorithm could effectively reduce the noise signal in the medical image and save the image edge signal. It has the advantage of the high-definition and de-noising ability.

Objective To investigate the effect of ultrashort wave therapy on edema and inflammatory reaction after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. Methods 56 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham-operated group (n=8), model group (n=24) and ultrashort wave group (n=24). The model was established with Allen's method. The sham-operated group was exposed endorhachis without hit. The ultra-short wave group was exposed to ultrashort wave radiation 7 minutes, once a day, 24 hours after modeling until the animals were sacrificed. Locomotors functional recovery was assessed every week post operation period by BBB score. Immunohistochemical staining was per-formed to observe the expression of the aquaporin-4(AQP-4) and ED-1. Results The BBB scores increased in the model group and the ultra-short wave group after treatment, and was higher in the ultrashort wave group than in the model group from 1 week after treatment (t>3.368, P<0.01). The expressions of AQP-4 and ED-1 were higher in the model group and ultrashort wave group than in the sham-operated group, and decreased as time went on. They were lower in the ultrashort wave group than in the model group(t>3.156, t>4.466, P<0.05). Conclu-sion Ultrashort wave therapy can alleviate the edema after SCI, reduce the activation and infiltration of inflammatory cells, and promote the recovery of neurological function.

Three cases of terminal stage heart disease received orthotopic heart transplantation at the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, the First Hospital of Nanchang University between August 2001 and December 2003. These three cases were all female and died of brain death. Body weight difference between donor and recipient was less than 20%. All three cases underwent superior and inferior vena cave osculation and received immunosuppressive therapy of cyclosporine A, prednisone, and mycophenolate postoperatively. They were successfully discarded. Heart function recovered to grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ(NYHA). No infection or serious rejection was found during the surgery. These results indicate that good donor heart preservation, consummate perioperative processing, and proper immunosuppressiva therapy are the key measures of successful heart transplantation.

Objective To investigate the effects of bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs)transplantation combined with low dose ultrashort wave (USW)radiation on functional recovery and the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)and ED?1 after spinal cord injury(SCI)in rats,and further discuss its action mechanism. Methods Female Sprague?Dawley rats(n=30)were randomly divided into 5 groups:sham?oper?ated,as well as control,USW,BMSCs,and USW+BMSCs that were subjected to spinal cord injury(SCI). Basso?Beattie?Bresnahan(BBB)tests were carried out before the operation and at 1 d,1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks,4 weeks after SCI. 4 weeks later,animals were sacrificed and tissues were collected to make paraffin section. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to observe the expression of GFAP and ED?1. Results 4 weeks after SCI,BBB scores were significantly higher in the USW and USW+BMSCs groups than in the control group(both P<0.001). No signifi?cant difference was observed between the BMSCs group and control group. On the expression of GFAP ,only USW+BMSCs group showed signifi?cantly decreased compared with the control group(P<0.05). All treatment groups exhibited lower ED?1 expression than the control group(all P<0.05). Conclusion Our results indicate that USW radiation alone can obviously improve neural functional recovery after SCI. The USW radi?ation and BMSCs transplantation treatment can reduce inflammation ,and USW radiation is more effective. The combination therapy did not show a synergistic action on promoting functional recovery ,but do have an effect on reducing the inflammatory response and glial scar formation.

Objective:
To investigate the efficiency and safety of domestic tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) dasatinib (Yinishu) as second-line treatment for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP).
Methods:
A retrospective analysis of clinical data of CML-CP patients who received domestic dasatinib as second-line treatment in the CML collaborative group hospitals of Hubei province from March 2016 to July 2018 was performed. The optimal response rate, the cumulative complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), the cumulative major molecular responses (MMR), progression free survival (PFS), event free survival (EFS) and adverse effects (AEs) of the patients were assessed at 3, 6 and 12 months of treatment.
Results:
A total of 83 CML-CP patients were enrolled in this study. The median follow-up time was 23 months. The optimal response rates at 3, 6 and 12 months in 83 CML-CP patients treated with dasatinib were 77.5% (54/71), 72.6% (61/75) and 60.7% (51/69), respectively. By the end of follow-up, the cumulative CCyR and MMR rates were 65.5% (55/80) and 57.1% (48/73), respectively. The median time to achieving CCyR and MMR was 3 months. During follow-up time, the PFS rate was 94.0% (79/83) and the EFS rate was 77.4% (65/83). The most common non-hematological AEs of dasatinib were edema (32.5%), rash itching (18.1%) and fatigue (13.3%). The common hematological AEs of dasatinib were thrombocytopenia (31.3%), leukopenia (19.3%) and anemia (6.0%).
Conclusion
Domestic dasatinib was effective and safe as the second-line treatment of CML-CP patients and it can be used as an option for CML-CP patients.
