As the most popular simplified model of the optical imaging system, the acquisition of the Gaussian point spread function (PSF) parameter is one of the hotspots and key points on which people do research in the field of image restoration. Based on the idea by which there exists deterministic mathematical relationship between Gaussian OTF feature points as well as its parameter and the frequency representation of the image in an existed literature, we proposed an automatic, accurate, stable, and improved approach. This method is able to give prominence to the related calculation feature by a Gaussian convolution and degeneration operation and finally realize the automatic esti mation of PSF parameter of a microscopic image. Experiments have proved that a good restoration result can be achieved utilizing the estimated PSF by the present method, which is of considerable application and reference value in restoration of other sorts with Gaussian approximate PSF model or 3D microscopic image restoration.

Stromal cell-derived factor-1(SDF-1)is an early cell growth factor which belongs to a subfamily of chemokines.The CXCR4 is SDF-1 receptor.The SDF-1 interacting with CXCR4 plays important roles in physiological and pathological processes such as hematopiesis, stem cell homing,angiogenesis and leukemic cells infiltrating.To study the expression of CXCR4 in leukemia and the relationship between CXCR4 and leukemic cells infiltration can add indicators for leukemic MIC diagnosis of immunology indexes and have great significance to take molecule targeted therapy for preventing leukemia from infiltration or relapse as well.

Image interpolation is often required during medical image processing and analysis. Although interpolation method based on Gaussian radial basis function (GRBF) has high precision, the long calculation time still limits its application in field of image interpolation. To overcome this problem, a method of two-dimensional and three-dimensional medical image GRBF interpolation based on computing unified device architecture (CUDA) is proposed in this paper. According to single instruction multiple threads (SIMT) executive model of CUDA, various optimizing measures such as coalesced access and shared memory are adopted in this study. To eliminate the edge distortion of image interpolation, natural suture algorithm is utilized in overlapping regions while adopting data space strategy of separating 2D images into blocks or dividing 3D images into sub-volumes. Keeping a high interpolation precision, the 2D and 3D medical image GRBF interpolation achieved great acceleration in each basic computing step. The experiments showed that the operative efficiency of image GRBF interpolation based on CUDA platform was obviously improved compared with CPU calculation. The present method is of a considerable reference value in the application field of image interpolation.

BACKGROUND:The implantable artificial pacemaker that needs long-term wear is in direct contact with human body tissue, and thus, biocompatibility of the materials is very important. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the material progress and material-related complications of implantable artificial pacemakers. METHODS:Articles related to implantable artificial pacemaker materials and related complications were searched in Wanfang database and PubMed database from 2000 to 2015. The keywords were pacemaker; materials; pacemaker leads; pacemaker electrode; complication in Chinese and English, respectively. Finaly, 27 articles were included and summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The implantable artificial pacemakers are in direct contact with the body tissues through the titanium alloy shell covering the pulser, the electrode wire covering the silicone, polyurethane, epoxy resin, and the electrode materials (including carbon, platinum-iridium alloy, Elgilog alloy). These materials have good physical and chemical properties as well as good cytocompatibility, electrophysiological compatibility and blood compatibility with the human body that have been confirmed in the past decades. However, material-related complications often occur, such as contact dermatitis, wire breakage, dislocation, cardiac perforation, venous thrombosis and tricuspid regurgitation along the wire, capsular infection and hematoma when placing the pulser. With the rapid development of today's microelectronic technology, research on the modification of pacemaker materials and the pacing system has been ongoing and has made considerable progress. Moreover, wireless pacemaker development and clinical application may be the future direction of development.

To search the statistical approaches for evaluating and dealing with the center effects in multi-center clinical trial. Breslow-Day test was used for evaluating the differences of the virtual rating among the centers whose responses were binary, Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test for dealing with the center effects whose responses were binary or ordinal, and logistic regression for evaluating and dealing with the center effects simultaneously. The results showed that Breslow-Day test is invalid in evaluating the center effects whose response is ordinal, and Cochran-Mantel- Haenszel test can not be used for dealing with the effects of other covariates meanwhile.

Objective To analyse the clinical characteristics of drug-fever caused by ?-lactams antibiotics and provide the basic information for diagnosis of patients with drug-fever,and profile the drug fever due to antimicrobil agent.Methods In this study,64 hospitalized cases between 2000 and 2006 were enrolled who had drug-fever during antiinfective treatment.Results Most medications can cause fever,so as ?-lactams Antibiotics,with or without concomitant clinical manifestations.The fever could arise from the drug's pharmacologic action,its effects on thermoregulation,a local complication following parenteral administration,or an idiosyncratic response.Patients with drug-fever caused by ?-lactams,their temperature droped to normal level while ?-lactams discontinued for about 24h~48h,and without any linger effect.Conclusions Drug-fever is mainly caused by ?-lactams antibiotics like piperacillin sodium.It is important that doctors should bear the drug-fever in mind to avoid misdiagnosis.
