ABSTRACT
According to the actual requirements of pediatric intensive care, a suction detection system of pediatric oral secretions integrated with monitoring function is designed. The system has the function of adjustable intermittent attraction. The duration and proportion of intermittent attraction can be adjusted according to the individualized needs of pediatric intensive care. The suction head of pacifier can reduce the mechanical damage to pediatric oral mucosa as much as possible. Meanwhile, the system can detect and monitor the real-time biochemical indexes of the collected oral secretions, which can be used to help the judgement of aspiration and quantitatively evaluate the microcirculation dysfunction.

In order to support study of new radiofrequency ablation treatments and finally realize of precise conformal ablation of targeted tissue, this paper proposed a system which is able to generate radio frequency currents at different frequencies. The designed system bases on the basic principle of Class E power amplifier and uses MSP430 microcontroller as a controller and uses a touch screen as human-machine interface to design a frequency-selectable radiofrequency ablation treatment system,. The RF signals at frequencies of 230 kHz, 460 kHz, 920 kHz, and 2 000 kHz were tested to verify the feasibility of the system, and by using a tissue phantom, tested the heating ability of the RF signals at frequencies of 460 kHz, 920 kHz, and 2 000 kHz. The results show the device could well heat the tissue at the three frequencies. The study has also found that both the highest temperature and the ablation area decreases with RF frequency, when using the constant power control mode.
