ABSTRACT
There was almost one hundred years since surgical stapler invention to now. Using stapler (stitching instrument) in surgery has many advantages, such as stitching fast, easy to operating, few side effects and complications. It makes tumor excision surgery can’t be cut focus in past possible and improving the curative effect of the surgery. Surgical staplers also give difficult surgery and new technology strong supports. In the last ten years, for cheap price and rapid development of the technology level, domestic staplers’ market share is increasing year by year and breaking the foreign monopoly product. In open surgery, domestic stapler has progressively more than foreign brands. In endoscopy surgery, domestic staplers also have a place. In current, surgical staplers are used more and more popular in the domestic tertiary medical institutions and becoming indispensable tools in many surgeries. Surgical staplers (stitching instrument) are broadly used in esophageal reconstruction, gastrointestinal tract reconstruction, endoscopic surgery in pulmonary bulla resection, uterus resection, pancreas resection, duodenum resection
ABSTRACT
The interference of noise and the weak edge characteristic of symptom information on medical images prevent the traditional methods of segmentation from having good effects. In this paper is proposed a boundary detection method of focus which is based on dyadic wavelet transform and active contour model. In this method, the true edge points are detected by dyadic wavelet transform and linked by improved fast active contour model algorithm. The result of experiment on MRI of brain shows that the method can remove the influence of noise effective and detect the contour of brain tumor actually.

Objective: To investigate the value of positron emission tomography/computerized tomography(PET/CT) with fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose(18FDG) for gastric carcinoma.Methods: Thirty-two patients(25 males,7 females,aged 31-82 years) suspected of gastric carcinoma underwent whole-body PET/CT after taking in 600 ml of water to distend the gastral cavity.The maximal standard uptake value(SUVmax) of the region of interest(ROI) in PET and the maximum width of the gastric wall in CT were analyzed.Pathological specimens were obtained from all the patients during surgery or gastroscopy.Results: 18FDG PET/CT found gastric carcinoma in 24 of the patients.The rates of positive and negative prediction and the accuracy of PET/CT in the diagnosis of the disease were 92.3%,100% and 93.8%.SUVmax was positively correlated with the maximum width of the gastric wall,but they exhibited no statistically significant differences between the patients with involved lymph nodes and those without.Based on the PET/CT findings,the 24 gastric carcinoma patients were clinically classified as follows: 9 in stage Ⅰ,1 in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,3 in stage Ⅱ,1 in stage Ⅲ and 10 in stage Ⅳ.Conclusion: 18FDG PET/CT is highly valuable for gastric carcinoma in its diagnosis,the evaluation of its biological behavior and determination of its treatment strategies.
