ABSTRACT
Objective:Comparing the different effects between using electrotome and ultrasonic scalpel in segmentectomy for separating intersegmental plane.Methods:The ex vivo porcine lungs were chosen for experiments, the a segment of the cranial lobe of the right lung(RS1a) was removed by using electrotome(coagulation mode) or ultrasonic scalpel, the values of minimum air leak pressure among them were compared, and also the hematoxylin and eosin staining for evaluating the injury degree of incision edge.Results:The mean values of minimum air leak pressures for the intersegmental plane after segmentectomy were(17.3±1.0)cmH 2O by electrotome, (16.4±2.9) cmH 2O by ultrasonic scalpel, the differences did not reach significance between electrotome and ultrasonic scalpel( P=0.17). When focused on heat injury degree of incision edge, electrotome caused a heavier damage than ultrasonic scalpel[(819.70±158.00)μm vs.(354.35±98.81)μm, respectively, P<0.01]. Conclusion:Electrotome and ultrasonic scalpel presented different merits and defects, and we should opt energy devices rationally for separating inter-segmental plane.

ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the effect of CYP2C19 gene polymorphism on the clinical prognosis of elderly patients treated with clopidogrel who suffered acute cerebral infarction. METHODS: A total of 226 elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction who received aspirin and clopidogrel were prospectively enrolled in this study. The CYP2C19 genotype was detected by DNA microarray chip method. Based on CYP2C19 genotypes, the patients were divided into fast metabolism group, medium metabolism group and slow metabolism group. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores before and after treatment were recorded. The changes of NIHSS scores before and after treatment were studied by repeated measurement ANOVA (analysis of variance), the decrease of NIHSS scores before and after treatment was used as the standard to evaluate the prognosis of patients, and the difference of favorable prognosis rate was compared among the three groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the prognosis influencing factors of acute cerebral infarction, and adverse drug reactions (ADR) were observed in the three groups. RESULTS: There were 81 patients (35.8%), 108 patients (47.8%) and 37 patients (16.4%) in fast metabolism group, medium metabolism group and slow metabolism group, respectively, with a favorable prognosis rate of 86.4%, 73.1% and 64.9% respectively. There was significant difference in the favorable prognosis rate among the three groups, and fast metabolism group was significantly higher than slow metabolism group (P0.05). CONCLUSION: CYP2C19 gene polymorphism has an effect on the clinical prognosis of elderly patients treated with clopidogrel who suffered acute cerebral infarction, and the therapeutic effect on rapid metabolizer is better than that of slow metabolizer.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#Anatomical segmentectomy is more and more widely used in lung nodules and early stage lung cancer. Postoperative lung air leakage is one of the common complications after surgery. This study aimed to explore the effect of the application of repair materials in precise segmentectomy under thoracoscopy in reducing postoperative lung air leakage.@*METHODS@#This study included patients admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital who were scheduled to undergo thoracoscopic segmentectomy from August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019. According to the difference of the materials used in the treatment of the inter-segment interface during the operation: patients who used microporous polysaccharide hemostatic powder+fibrin adhesive glue+absorbable polyglycolic acid patch were divided into group A, and the patients with fibrin adhesive+absorbable polyglycolic acid patch were divided into group B. The preoperative basic information of all patients and the daily postoperative chest drainage volume, the indwelling time of the chest drainage tube, the chest radiograph before the chest drainage tube is removed, the chest radiograph after the chest drainage tube is removed, blood routine and postoperative hospital stay were collected and recorded, and the effect of the application of intraoperative repair materials on postoperative lung air leakage was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#There were statistically significant differences in the indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube (P=0.019) and postoperative hospital stay (P=0.017) between the two groups.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Compared with the use of the fibrin glue+absorbability polyglycolic acid patch, the use of microporous polysaccharide hemostatic powder+fibrin glue+absorbability polyglycolic acid patch in the treatment of the inter-segment interface during segmentectomy can better reduce the incidence of postoperative air leakage and shorten the postoperative hospital stay.
ABSTRACT
In this paper, the common errors in medical devices test reports are classified and analyzed. And then the main 11 influence factors for these inspection report errors are summarized. The hierarchy model was also developed and verified by presentation data using MATLAB. The feasibility of comprehensive weights quantitative comparison has been analyzed by using the analytic hierarchy process. In the end, this paper porspects the further research direction.

Objective To investigate the changes of urine microalbuminuria(UMA) and serum C‐reactive protein(CRP) levels in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR) and its significance .Methods A total of 152 type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM ) patients were included and 40 healthy individuals as normal controls(NC) .T2DM patients were divided into 3 groups ,65 patients with non‐dia‐betic retinopathy(NDR group) ,53 patients with non‐proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR group) and 34 patients with prolifera‐tive diabetic retinopathy(PDR group) .UMA ,CRP and other clinical parameters were detect .Results The level of UMA and CRP increased progressively from NC ,NDR ,NPDR ,to PDR groups ,and there were significant differences among groups(P<0 .05) .The analysis of spearman rank correlation showed that UMA was positively associated with CRP(r=0 .311 ,P<0 .05) .UMA was also positively associated with the duration of diabetes ,fasting blood glucose(FBG) ,low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL‐C) ,hemo‐globin A1c(HbA1c) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(P< 0 .05) ,and CRP was also positively associated with the duration of diabetes ,FBG ,HbA1c and HOMA‐IR(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The development of DR is closely associated with kidney injury ,and chronic inflammation ,hyperglycemia and insulin resistance may be involved in the development and patho‐genesis of DR by interacting the renal function of T2DM patients .
ABSTRACT
Compared with the recycle of post-consumer medical equipments in medical institutions, the treatment of post-consumer home medical equipments (HME) should be consummated in the field of academic research, policy and regulatory plus corresponding supporting industries. The HME industry situation and its classification, main components and properties are reviewed in this paper. The merits and demerits of various pollution control techniques in the recycle of post-consumer medical equipments are analysed. For instance, the source control techniques to improve the property of raw materials, the end treatment technique to recycle the HME and regenerate energy are also discussed. Further, the development prospect of pollution control technique in the recycle of HME and the challenges must face up to are also probed.
