In order to realize standardization and automatization,it necessary to develop a device for B→O blood conversion.This paper emphasizes on the control system of B→O blood conversion device,including software and hardware design,which provides a safe and rapid method for B→O blood conversion.

B→O blood conversion has very important meanings in the blood transfusion during the period of peace and war.In the leader of Professor Zhang Yangpei,from Academy of Military Medical Sciences,B→O blood conversion has been achieved by using gene engineering.They obtained the great breakthrough in the domain of blood type conversion.In order to realize standardization and automatization,it is necessary to develop a device applying to B→O blood conversion.This device automatically accomplishes the process of B→O blood conversion,shortens the time of B→O blood conversion to quarter than the time by manual operation,and ensures the standardization and obturation.In the condition of one-off pipeline,this device meets the clinical demands for blood,and lays a foundation for clinical expansion of B→O blood conversion.This paper presented the control system of B→O blood conversion device,including design of software and hardware.This device provides a safe and efficient tool for B→O blood conversion.

Objective To investigate the localization,zone and activation intensity of olfactory center in young versus elderly healthy volunteers by functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI),so as to elucidate the effect of age on olfactory center in healthy population.Methods Thirteen right-handed healthy adult volunteers were recruited and divided into two groups:young group (5 males and 3 females,mean aged 23 years) and elderly group (2 males and 3 females,mean aged 69.2 years).The olfactory stimulus was r-undecalactone,and it was given according to a block design.The fMRI detection was performed on Philips Achieva 3.0 T MR scanner,and data of BOLE-fMRI was processed and analyzed to get cerebration image by using SPM2.Results In groupaveraged maps,both young and elderly group showed significant olfactory activation in right parahippocampal gyrus,left hippocampal sulcus,right and left superior temporal gyrus,etc,subcortical activation in right thalamus,dorsal pons,and cerebellum activation in cerebellar vermis.Activations in right inferior frontal gyrus,right middle frontal gyrus,right medial occipito-temporal gyrus and right fimbria of hippocampus were observed only in young group,while activation in bilateral middle temporal gyrus was observed only in elderly group.Activation area was apparently smaller and activation degree was lower in elderly group than in young group.Activation intensity in right superior parietal lobule and bilateral superior temporal gyri was higher in male group than in female group (t=13.7,6.08,5.36,respectively,all P＜0.001).Conclusions The intensity of activation in olfactory center is lower in the elderly than in the young,and absence of part of the active regions is found in the elderly,which demonstrates the regression of olfactory center in the elderly.The olfactory center shows right-predominant activation,and olfactory activation intensity in some cortical regions is higher in males than in females.

Objective To study the value of time intensity curve of contrast enhanced ultrasound in the discrimination of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. Methods Thirty-seven cases of soft tissue tumors were carried out contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination. The region of interest in the dynamic images were chosen to carry out Gamma-Variate curve fitting through Q-LAB software and made a quantitative analysis. Then they were compared with pathological diagnosis to analyze the ultrasound imaging performance of benign and malignant tumors and their characteristics of micro-irrigation. Results Thirty-seven cases of soft tissue tumors were pathologically diagnosed 21 cases of benign and malignant in 16 cases. The perfusion of benign tumors were mainly uniformity (19/21) or potentialization (2/21). The perfusion of malignant tumors were mainly uniformity (10/16) or nonuniformity (6/16). There were no significant differences in time to peak(TTP) and arrival time of contrast agent(AT) between benign and malignant tumors( P ＞0.05). The upslope rate(A) and the derived peak intensity(DPI) in benign group were significantly less than malignant group ( P ＜0.05). Conclusions Time-intensity curve analysis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound showed that benign and malignant soft tissue tumors were different in perfusion,and it will be of a certain value for the clinical differential diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effect caused by capecitabine compared with S-1 as maintenance treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Methods A total of 123 AGC patients who did not suffer disease progression after first-line chemotherapy were randomized into three groups. The capecitabine group(Cap)received maintenance chemotherapy with capecitabine(1000 mg/m2 twice daily for 14 days,21 days/cycle),and the S-1 group(S1)received S-1(40,50,or 60 mg according to the body surface area and orally administered twice a day for 14 days ,21 days/cycle). The observation group was given the support-ive treatment. Patients kept this chemotherapy regimens until disease progressed or with intolerant toxicity. Re-sults The disease control rate was 70.7%in the Cap group and 80.5%in the S1 group(P=0.304). The median time of progression was 8.3 months in the Cap group and 8.5 months in the S1 group(P = 0.448). Maintenance chemotherapy groups showed better responses in the treatment group than the observation group ,which demonstrat-ed a median progression of 6.7 months(P<0.001). The median overall survival time was 15.3 months in the Cap group and 15.7 months in the S1 group(P = 0.637). Maintenance chemotherapy groups showed better responses than the observation group ,which demonstrated a median survival of 12.8 months (P < 0.05). The main side effects included hyperpigmentation,bone marrow suppression,nausea and vomiting and hand-foot syndrome. No death occurred in relation to the therapy. Conclusion The effectiveness of capecitabine and S-1 as maintenance chemotherapy in AGC patients after the first-line chemotherapy are similar,and both can prolong the time of overall survival. And the adverse reactions can be tolerated.

This paper summarizes the current progress in the application of Disposcope endoscopy in tracheal intubation.

Objective To explore the roles of spinal microglial Src-family kinases (SFKs) in diabetic neuropathic pain. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200 ~ 220 g, were used in the experiments. The level of p-SFKs in spinal dorsal horn was detected by single immunofluorescence staining on day 7th , 14th and 28th after intraperitoneally injection of Streptozotocin (STZ) and its location was detected by double immunofluorescence staining. The changes of 50% paw-withdrawal thresholds of rat were detected by behavioral tests when PP2 , a specific inhibitor of SFKs , was intrathecally administered before intraperitoneally injection of STZ. Results Compared with vehicle group, the blood glucose level increased on day 1 (P < 0.001) and the hyperglycemia persisted at least for 28 days (P < 0.001) after intraperitoneally administered of STZ (50 mg/kg). Paw-withdrawal threshold (PWT) decreased gradually from day 1 (P < 0.05) and reached the minimum on day 28 (P < 0.001) after STZ administration. Meanwhile, the expression of p-SFKs in spinal dorsal horn markedly increased on day 7 (P < 0.01), day 14 (P < 0.01) and day 28 (P < 0.01). The p-SFKs was mainly co-localized only with microglia , but not with neurons or with astrocytes. Intrathecally administered of PP2 before STZ reversed STZ-induced mechanical hyperalgesia. Conclusion Microglial SFKs in spinal dorsal horn maybe play a pivotal role in diabetic neuropathic pain.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the operative plan for nasal cavity abnormality and evaluate the effect of revision FESS. METHODS A retrospective study of 36 revision FESS performed during 2002.3-2005.5 (age from 17 to 55 years old) is presented. Patients were evaluated with endoscopic examination of the nasal cavities and computed tomography of the sinuses and nasal cavities. Information was also collected during the revision surgery. The plan was designed according to nasal cavity abnormality. RESULTS The reasons of revision FESS: Among 36 cases there are 24 ethmoid sinusitis, 16 cases with recurrence of polyps,13 middle meatal stenosis, 11 middle turbinate adhesion, 10 septal deviation, 5 frontal recess stenosis, 5 sphenoid sisusitis, 3 maxillary ostium obstruction,3 inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Follow up for 6 month～43 month after revision FESS, 22 cases were successful, 10 satisfied and 4 inefficacy. CONCLUSION The primary FESS failure was associated with nasal cavity structure diseases. Meticulous attention in these areas and correcting it during surgery may reduce recurrence and ensure operative effect after revision FESS.
