ABSTRACT
Hemolysis caused by blood pumps is a very important characteristic. In vitro hemolysis test circuits were constructed to operate the model I centrifugal pump, the model II axial flow pump, the magnetic coupling pump and the model I & II spiral mixed pump. The output of all pumps was set at flow 5 L/min, an average pressure of 100 mmHg. Experiments were conducted for 4 hours at room temperature(25 degrees C) with 500 ml fresh anticoagulant sheep blood. Blood samples were taken for plasma free-hemoglobin measurement, and the change in temperature at the pump outlet port was measured during the experiment. Calculate the normalized index of hemolysis (NIH). The results showed that there was no relationship either between the pump rotational speed and the NIH in five types of blood pumps, or between change in temperature at the pump outlet port and NIH. The dynamic fluid field caused by pump design and structure could be the main cause of blood damage.

Objective To assess the clinial application of 3D reconstruction with MSCT for acetabular fractures.Methods Volume scanning was performed in 20 patients with acetabular fractures,all data sets were transferred to workstation.Reconstruction were done with more thinner slices.Results Acetabular frature 3D images went all the way with the results of surgery in 17 cases.Conclusion MSCT 3D images can compare beauty with gross specimen,which could be propitious to the subtype of acetabulum fracture and have an advantage in the application.
