The capsule endoscope swallowed from the mouth into the digestive system can capture the images of important gastrointestinal tract regions. It can compensate for the blind spot of traditional endoscopic techniques. It enables inspection of the digestive system without discomfort or need for sedation. However, currently available clinical capsule endoscope has some limitations such as the diagnostic information being not able to correspond to the orientation in the body, since the doctor is unable to control the capsule motion and orientation. To solve the problem, it is significant to track the position and orientation of the capsule in the human body. This study presents an AC excitation wireless tracking method in the capsule endoscope, and the sensor embedded in the capsule can measure the magnetic field generated by excitation coil. And then the position and orientation of the capsule can be obtained by solving a magnetic field inverse problem. Since the magnetic field decays with distance dramatically, the dynamic range of the received signal spans three orders of magnitude, we designed an adjustable alternating magnetic field generating device. The device can adjust the strength of the alternating magnetic field automatically through the feedback signal from the sensor. The prototype experiment showed that the adjustable magnetic field generating device was feasible. It could realize the automatic adjustment of the magnetic field strength successfully, and improve the tracking accuracy.

In this paper, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy fingerprint analysis of Marsdenia tenacissima samples was used to develop a reliable method of tracing the geographical origins. Forty-eight samples from four provinces of China were analyzed by FTIR. We analyzed and characterized the fingerprints in both the full spectrum peaks and characteristic peaks, then the principal component analysis and the cluster analysis were carried out. The results of fingerprint analysis, correlation analysis, principal component analysis and cluster analysis can identify the geographic origins correctly, which verified and supplemented each other; the identification results and the actual location showed a high degree of consistency, namely the lower the space distance, the greater the similarity of different samples. These results revealed the obvious superiority and practical value in comparison to the more tedious and time-consuming wet chemistry method normally used. Using appropriate metrology methods can trace the geographical source correctly. The M. tenacissima materials from the region of Maguan should be considered as genuine medicinal materials taking into account the good quality.

To offer the reference and method for salt damage in the cultivation of Marsdenia tenacissima, the seeds of M. tenacissima collected from Maguan city ( Yunnan province) were taken as the test materials to study the effects of different priming materials on improving germination and growth under high-level salt stress condition. Four different treatments, which were GA3, KNO3-KH2PO4, PEG-6000, NaCl, combined with ANOVA were applied to test the performance of germination energy, germination percentage, germination index, MDA, SOD, and CAT. The results showed that the seed germination was obviously inhibited under salt stress and the soaked seeds with different priming materials could alleviate the damage of salt stress. Under these treatments, the activities of SOD, CAT the content of soluble protein significantly increased. While the content of MDA significantly decreased. The maximum index was obtained when treated with 1.20% KNO3-KH2PO4, the germination percentage increased from 52.67% to 87.33% and the activity of SOD increased from 138.01 to 219.44 respectively. Comparing with the treatment of 1.20% KNO3-KH2PO4, the germination percentage of treating with 300 mg x L(-1) GA3 increased from 52.67% to 80.67%, while the activity of SOD increased from 138.01 to 444.61.

Objective To explore the correlation of serum homocysteine(Hcy)levels and hypertrophy of left ventricle in very elderly hypertensive patients.Methods According to plasma Hcy levels,patients with essential hypertension (n=378) were divided into non H-type hypertension group (n=142) and H-type hypertension group (n=236). Height, weight, reg?ular medication, blood pressure, renal function, blood lipid profile and the concentration of plasma Hcy were recorded. Color Doppler ultrasonic equipment was used to determine the morphology and structure of left ventricle. The correlation between plasma Hcy and left ventricle remodeling was analyzed. Results The ratio of left ventricular hypertrophy was higher in H-type hypertension group than that in non H-type hypertension group(45.8%vs 24.6%,χ2=16.81,P<0.001). Patients in H-type hypertension group had higher systolic blood pressure, higher plasma level of Hcy and larger left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWT), larger interventricular septal thickness (IVST) and increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI) compared to those in non H-type hypertension group(162.20 ± 14.97)vs(149.70 ± 5.06)mmHg,(19.76 ± 5.83)μmol/L vs (9.53±0.72)μmol/L,(9.77±2.35)vs(9.21±2.68)mm,(9.74±3.15)vs(8.51±2.42)mm,(118.64±39.38)vs(101.85±41.71)g/m2 respectively, all P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between LVMI and Hcy(r=0.381,P<0.001). Multivariable Lo?gistic regression analysis showed that hyperhomocysteinemia was an independent risk factor of LVMI. Conclusion High plasma Hcy level is an independent risk factor of LVMI, which works together with hypertension to promote left ventricular re?molding.
