Objective To sift out the optimized electric pulse parameters for electroacupuncture treatment for lower limb myatrophy and explore the mechanism of its treatment.Method A model of lower limb myatrophy was made in 40 SD rats.The rats were then randomized to groups A (model group without electroacupuncture), B (a pulse duration of 0.5 ms and a frequency of 2 Hz), C (a pulse duration of 200 msand a frequency of 2 Hz) and D (a pulse duration of 200 ms and a frequency of 1/2/3 Hz).Points Zusanli(ST36)and Chengshan(BL57)were given electroacupuncture for four courses of treatment.Thesciaticfunction index (SFI),gastrocnemius muscle wet weight ratio (GW), gastrocnemius muscle fiber cross-sectional area ratio (GC),gastrocnemius muscle cell diameter ratio (GD)and gastrocnemius muscle cell apoptosis index (AI)were determined.Result SFI, GW and GC increased significantly and AI decreased significantly in groups C and D compared with group A (P<0.05). AI decreased significantly in groups C and D compared with group B (P<0.05). AI decreased significantly in groups D compared with group C (P<0.05). Conclusion Apulse duration of 200 ms and a frequency of 1/2/3 Hz are the optimizedelectric pulse parametersfor electroacupuncture delaying myatrophy.Its mechanism is related to inhibiting myocyte apoptosis.

0.05) . The success rate of insertion at first attempt was similar (95%) in both groups. PLMA was placed in the correct position in 87.5% of the patients. The changes in BP and HR and the extubation or PLMA removal response were less in the PLMA group. Significantly less patients in PLMA group complained about sore throat after operation (P

The traditional denoising algorithm for ultrasound images would lost a lot of details and weak edge information when suppressing speckle noise. A new denoising algorithm of adaptive threshold based on curvelet transform is proposed in this paper. The algorithm utilizes differences of coefficients' local variance between texture and smooth region in each layer of ultrasound image to define fuzzy regions and membership functions. In the end, using the adaptive threshold that determine by the membership function to denoise the ultrasound image. The experimental text shows that the algorithm can reduce the speckle noise effectively and retain the detail information of original image at the same time, thus it can greatly enhance the performance of B ultrasound instrument.

BACKGROUND: The data of epidemiological survey on rheumatic diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are very rare in China, especially in Shenzhen. The comprehensive understanding of epidemiological situation of AS in Shenzhen can be used to draw up treatment plans by Shenzhen Health Bureau and some other health organizations.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the epidemiological features of AS.DESIGN: Randomized complete collection and cross-sectional investigation.SETTING: Shenzhen Rheumatism Institute of Guangdong Medical College. PARTICIPANTS: From December 2001 to April 2004, totally 6 684 adults aged over 16 years were selected from three regions (one region of river and lakes, one local mountain region and one inhabitant region) of Shenzhen. Among them, 5 922 adults (2 659 males and 3 263 female) were actually investigated and the investigative rate was 88.6%. Males were accounted for 44.9% and females were 55.1%, and the ratio was 1:1.23.METHODS: Step 1 and 2, the investigated individuals were questioned and their answers were recorded by the investigators. The questionnaire proceeded one by one for every individual and proceeded at homes. Step 3,the individuals with positive findings at steps 1 and 2 were examined by rheumatologic doctors. Step 4, individuals with suspected AS were subjected to human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) assays, radiographies including plain pelvic films, plain lumbar-vertebral films and if necessary, radiographies at other areas of spinal column as well as peripheral joints.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Frequencies of rheumatic complaints,prevalence rate of AS, positive frequencies of hum an HLA-B27, and comparisons with relevant data abroad.RESULTS: ① General frequency of rheumatism was 21.6%, and the highest complaint was at knee joint, then at waist, shoulder, neck and hand. In female, the frequencies of complaints at every joint mentioned above were higher than those in male (P ＜ 0.05). A total of 13 patients (4.7%) had to discontinue their work because of rheumatic diseases. ②Prevalence rate of AS was accounted for 0.37%, and the ratio between male and female was 4.5: 1. The onset of AS began at middle age in majority patients. ③ Positive frequency of HLA-B27 was 5.0%. ④ Rate of misdiagnosis, the rate of early diagnosis and the rate of long-term irrational drug-usage were 64%, 27% and 73%, respectively.CONCLUSION: In Shenzhen, the prevalence rate of AS (0.37%) is ranked higher than that in Beijing (0.26%), Shantou (0.26%), America(0.20%) and the whites of Greece (0.24%). The differences among them may be connected with the fact that in Shenzhen the young people occupy a large proportion of population.

The labeled compounds, CdTe was combined with anti-fluoranthene antibody, had good dispersion and stability with the fluorescence intensity enhancing. A direct competitive fluorescent immunoassay with CdTe-anti-fluoranthene antibody to detect fluoranthene in water sample in the environment was developed. The result showed that fluoranthene can be determined in the concentration range from 0.1 μg/L to 1000 μg/L with a correlation coefficient of 0.9983, a sensitivity of (IC_(50)) of 12.4 μg/L and a detection limit (IC_(20)) of 13.1 ng/L. Trace environmental pollutant in environmental water samples were successfully determined with a good accuracy and suitability. The recovery was between 95.1% and 111.0%, with relative standard deviation less than 9%.
