A novel technology is proposed for non-contact and real-time detection of atrial fibrillation using millimeter-wave radar.A 60 GHz PCR millimeter wave radar is used to continuously detect the chest echo signal of the subject.After signal acquisition,I-Q signal is generated through I-Q demodulation,and the signal phase information is extracted using effective points phase trend evaluation for obtaining the signals from oscillations in the chest wall,from which the respiratory signals and cardiac signals are extracted through digital filtering for the analysis of cardiac movement.Whether the atrial fibrillation occurs or not is determined by the characteristics of atrial fibrillation wave in the time domain.The effective points phase trend evaluation for extracting more accurate signal phase information and the time-domain method for real-time atrial fibrillation detection are the innovations of the study.The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a detection accuracy of 99.2%in clinic.

Multidrug resistance is a major cause of clinical failure of tumor chemotherapy, study on the mechanisms of tumor multidrug resistance has been becoming a fascinating area in the field of tumor chemotherapy. The tumor multidrug resistance is generally considered to be due to the gene mutation, amplification or epigenetic changes that affect the uptake , metabolism or excretion of tumor drugs . P-glycoprotein is a transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by multidrug resistance gene MDR1, which leads to the principal contributor to tumor multidrug resistance. Research suggests that P-glycoprotein can metastasize through the tumor cells, thereby affecting tumor resistance. This article reviews the role of intercellular transfer of P-glycoprotein in tumor drug resistance.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of bladder spasm after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and the intervention effect of cluster nursing. Methods From January 2011 to December 2012, the clinical data of 120 cases of TURP patients were analyzed for the risk factors of bladder spasm after TURP. According to the results of the analysis, cluster nursing plan was constructed. The 150 TURP patients from January 2013 to December 2014 were selected as the control group and given routine nursing care. The 150 TURP patients from January 2015 to December 2016 were recruited as the observation group and given cluster nursing. The postoperative bladder spasm, catheter blockage and patients satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The results of the multivariate regression analysis indicated that the score of Self-rating Anxiety Scale, air bag water injection, unstable bladder or low compliance bladder, and postoperative constipation were independent factors of bladder spasm after TURP (OR=1.427, 0.092, 13.263, 27.437; P<0.01). After the implementation of cluster nursing, the postoperative bladder spasm rate was 6.0%, and the catheter blockage rate was 5.3%, which were both lower than those of the control group (28.4%,29.3%), and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=25.726, 30.149; P<0.01). The patient postoperative satisfaction of the observation group was (95.21±4.63), which was higher than that of the control group (85.76±4.23), and the difference was statistically significant (t=14.469, P<0.01). Conclusions Cluster nursing can reduce the rate of bladder spasm and catheter blockage after TURP, and increase patients' satisfaction after surgery.

BACKGROUND:At present, there are few reports about the non-human primate models of type 2 diabetes mel itus in domestic and abroad, so it lacks of standardized production methods and evaluation criteria.
OBJECTIVE:To establish a safe and effective type 2 diabetes mel itus model of rhesus monkey and evaluation method.
METHODS:Twelve rhesus monkeys were randomly assigned to experimental group (n=9) and control group (n=3). Rhesus monkeys in the experimental group were fed with high-glucose and high-fat diet for 4 weeks, and intraperitoneal y injected with 30 mg/kg streptozotocin to establish models of type 2 diabetes mel itus. Rhesus monkeys in the control group were fed with an equal volume of physiological saline. At 12 weeks after injection, peripheral blood serum was col ected to measure fasting blood glucose, lipids, insulin, and C-peptide levels. Intravenous glucose tolerance test and C-peptide release test were used to detect pancreatic gland and pancreatic islet function. Histopathological examination was performed in pancreas, kidney and liver.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) 12 weeks after injection, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). Insulin and C-peptide levels were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). (2) The area under the curve for intravenous glucose tolerance test was increased in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). The area under the curve for C-peptide response test was significantly reduced in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). (3) The pathological sections of pancreas, kidney and liver showed typical pathological changes of diabetes in the experimental group. (4) It is confirmed that we got high achievement about rhesus monkey models of type 2 diabetes mel itus made by high-glucose and high-fat diet combined with low-dose streptozotocin. It is a feasible, safe and effective method.

BACKGROUND:Traditional cel transplantation tracer methods require histological analysis and identification in vitro, which limits the clinical application of stem cel transplantation. So it is urgent to establish an in vivo noninvasive and repeatable tracer method. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of SPIO and DAPI double labeling on survival and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from macaques. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were derived from bone marrow aspirates of healthy macaques using whole bone marrow adherence method. Then, the cel s were identified using flow cytometry detection. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were labeled using SPIO and DAPI. Fluorescent microscope was used to detect DAPI positive rate, and Prussian blue staining and transmission electron microscope were employed to measure SPIO positive rate. MTT assay was used to detect cel viability and proliferation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were successful y isolated from healthy macaques using the whole bone marrow adherence method, and the cel purity was up to 95.1%. SPIO and DAPI were both successful to label the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s with a positive rate of 95%-98%, but had no influence on cel viability and proliferation.

Objectives To evaluate the clinical features, treatment scheme and long-term outcomes of stage 1、2 childhood neuroblastoma (NB). Methods The retrospective study included 49 newly diagnosed NB stage 1、2 patients from June 1998 to December 2010. Clinical data and long-term outcomes were analyzed. Results Twenty-four patients with stage 1 NB and twenty patients with stage 2 NB were found among all 237 patients with NB enrolled in this study. The median age at diagnosis was 25 months( 2 week to 9 year old),29 males and 20 females. Thirty-one patients (63.6%) without symptoms were discovered with tumor by physical or imaging examination. Thorax and abdomen were the most common sites of primary tumor (21 and 22 cases, accounting for 42.9% and 44.9% of all patients, respectively). Forty (81.6%) NB patients had favorable pathology classification. One patient was of MYCN amplification status. Urine vanilla mandelic acid was normal in 32 (91.4%) patients, and serum lactate dehydrogenase was less than five times of the normal value in all patients. Ten NB patients were treated ac-cording to the low-risk protocol who received surgery alone.Thirty-nine patients were treated according to intermediate-risk protocol who received both surgery and chemotherapy. All the patients achieved very good partial remission (100%).The medi-an follow-up period was 60 months(22 months to148months). Nine patients were lost after a follow up of 3 months in medi-an. The 2-、3-、5-year event free survival and overall survial of all 49 patients was 100%. Conclusions The prognosis for neu-roblastoma of stage 1、2 in this study was with 100%survival, which provides opportunity for further reduction of dosage and/or duration of episodes in chemotherapy.
