ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the development of surgical robots at home and abroad in recent years.@*METHODS@#Through a large number of literature review and analysis, the qualification approval and technical function characteristics of domestic and foreign surgical robots from January 2019 to July 2022 were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The related situations of 39 surgical robots were analyzed and reported, and the shortcomings and future development direction of the current surgical robots were summarized.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The development of surgical robots in China is now in a rapid development stage. At present, surgical robots generally have the disadvantages of high cost, lack of tactile feedback (force feedback), large size, large space occupation and difficult to move. In the future, it will develop towards intelligent, miniaturized, remote, open and low-cost.

Objective To observe the effects and safety of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) combined with Huaiqihuang on frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) in children. Methods Fifty-five child patients with FRNS were divided into control group, which was given glucocorticoid (GC) to maintain the treatment (group A, n=10), Huaiqihuang group (group B, n=17), ACTH group (group C, n=14) and ACTH combined with Huaiqihuang group (combined treatment group, group D, n=14). Continuous treatment was for 12 months. The GC treatment doses, the levels of basal secretion of adrenal cortex and adrenal cortex reserve were recorded at 6-month and 12-month respectively. And the recurrence rate and adverse reactions were observed in four groups. Results After 6-month treatment, the doses of GC were significantly lower in group C and group D than those in group A and group B (P0.05). After treatment for 6 months and 12 months, the recurrence rates of nephrotic syndrome were significantly lower in group C and group D than those of group A and group B (P<0.05). Conclusion The simple application of ACTH and the combination of Huaiqihuang can relieve the inhibition of long-term using GC on hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis in FRNS patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To enhance the safety of intravenous infusion and reduce the working strength of the nursing staff, a novel auto-switched intravenous infusion system was developed. Methods: The system was controlled by a low power consumption microchip. A signal was detected when the infusion was finished in one channel and then a cam mechanism was used to switch the infusion channel automatically under the supervision of the microchip. Results:A novel auto-switched intravenous infusion system was proposed and analyzed. The proposed concept is innovative, feasible and of functionality. Conclusion: The proposed auto-switched intravenous infusion system is cost effective and practical. It has potential applications and can benefit for improving current intravenous infusion situation.
ABSTRACT
Medical equipment quality control is the core content of hospital management. It runs through the whole process of medical management, including the purchase, the installation and acceptance, the use and maintenance, the abandonment. The contents and measurements of the medical equipment quality control are introduced in the four processes. It can help hospitals carry out dynamic management for medical equipment quality control and set up a scientific and perfect quality control system.
