This paper reports the study and design of a visualization system of the ultrasonic rhinitis therapeutic apparatus with the function of endoscopic sinus. On Linux operating platform, we captured the video data of a video capture card that connected the endoscopic sinus using Video4Linux (V4L2) that was provided by the operating system. The video images were displayed by Qt. The visualization system solved the problem that the current ultrasonic rhinitis therapeutic apparatus had to rely on the large and expensive endoscopy equipment. And this simplified the doctors' operation, met the need of monitoring nasal cavity in the process of operating, greatly reduced the costs of treatment and would contribute to the promotion of the instrument. As a result, it has been tested that the nasal endoscopic image achieved by the system is clear and smooth, and fully meet the clinical needs of ultrasonic treatment of rhinitis.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of fast track surgery (FTS) in donor in liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 214 donors for liver transplantation at the Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2006 to November 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All donors were divided into FTS group and conventional group.From January 2006 to May 2009,73 donors who received conventional perioperative management were in the conventional group,and 141 donors who received FTS from May 2009 to November 2011 were in the FTS group.The recovery of the donors in the 2 groups was compared.All data were analyzed using the chi-square test or t test.Results The operation time,time to out-of-bed activity,time to postoperative exsufflation,time to bowel movement,and duration of postoperative hospital stay were (178 ±37) minutes,(1.6 ± 1.0) days,(2.9 ± 1.6) days,(3.1 ± 1.5) days and (5.9 ± 1.9) days in the FTS group,which were significantly shorter than (167 ± 33) minutes,(3.6 ± 1.4) days,(4.6 ± 2.3) days,(4.5 ± 1.4) days and (7.6 ± 1.5) days in the conventional group (t =2.115,77.138,6.504,6.913,6.970,P ＜ 0.05).The hospital costs of the FTS group and the conventional group were (1.8 ±0.6) × 104 yuan and (2.2 ±0.4) x 104 yuan,respectively,with a significant difference between the 2 groups (t =73.038,P ＜ 0.05).The volumes of operative blood loss of the FTS group and the conventional group were (130 ± 47)ml and (138 ± 46)ml,with no significant difference between the 2 groups (t =1.251,P ＞ 0.05).The rate of satisfaction of the donors in the FTS group and conventional group were 98.6％ (139/141) and 89.2％ (74/83),respectively,with a significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =9.94,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion FTS is safe,economical and can reduce stress,decrease hospital costs and promote early recovery of donors in liver transplantation.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of Tibetan medicine Compound Duoxuekang capsules on the acute lung injury in mice induced by lipopolysaccharide. METHODS:60 KM mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group,dexamethasone group (positive control,1 mg/kg) and Compound Duoxuekang high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups (3.6,1.8,0.9 g/kg,calculated by crude drug),10 in each group. Intragastrically administrated,mice in blank group and model group intragastrically administrated equal volume of normal saline,once a day. After 7 d of administration,except for blank group, mice in other groups intraperitoneally injected lipopolysaccharide to induce acute lung injury. After 6 h modeling,pathological changes in the lung tissue was observed,lung tissue water content was measured,superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxi-dase(GSH-Px),malondialdehyde(MDA)levels in lung tissue and IL-6,TNF-α levels in serum were detected. RESULTS:Com-pared with blank group,mice in model group showed pathological changes in congestion and edema,inflammatory cell infiltra-tion,obvious widened alveolar septum and alveolar wall;water content in lung tissue and IL-6,TNF-αlevels in serum were signifi-cantly increased (P<0.01);SOD,GSH-Px levels in lung tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,injury degree of lung tissue reduced to varying degrees in each treatment group,except for the water content,MDA level in lung tissue and TNF-α level in serum in Compound Duoxuekang capsules low-dose group;the above-mentioned indexes in other groups were significantly improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Compound Duoxuekang capsules can obviously re-duce mice's oxidative stress and inflammatory response,and has certain protective effect on acute lung injury in mice.

Objective To investigate the expression of p53,VEGF,E-cad,CK20 and its clinical meanings in bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Methods The specimen microarrays and immunohistochemistry were applied to detect selected cancer-related protein expression in 45 cases of bladder TCC and 8 cases of normal control. Results Abnormal expression of p53,E-cad and CK20 were detected 100.0%,55.6%,55.6% respectively in bladder TCC group,which were expressed normally in control group with significant differences.However,there was no VEGF expression differences between those 2 groups (87.5% v.86.7%).Abnormal expression intensity of p53 and expression rate of E-cad were closely related to the pathological features.CK20 expression was co-related positively with disease staging rather than grading.VEGF played less role in co-relating with pathological features. Conclusions p53,E-cad and CK20 play an important roles in the development of bladder TCC,and VEGF plays less.Microarrays is suggested to detect a large scale of specimen for multiple proteins,it is effective.
