ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the compression properties of articular cartilage and polyinyl alcohol hydro-gel(PVA-H)as artificial carlage.Method Unconfined compression tests were conducted on articular card-lage and PVA-H,including stress-strain tests,creep tests and stress relaxation tests.The stress-strain rela-tionship of articular cartilage and PVA-H were measured.Result The compression modulus of articular card-lage was higher than that of PVA hydrogel.The average compression modulus of articular cartilage and PVA hydrogel was(3.6492±0.6199)Mpa and(1.5951±0.1469)Mpa,respectively.Condusions The experimental results revealed the differences existed between articular cartilage and PVA-H and this would be useful to fur-ther improve the mechanical properties of artificial cartilage.
ABSTRACT
The vehicle-mounted wireless tele-consultation system involves computer network technology, satellite communication technology and multimedia video technique in, which is composed of GPS, vehicle -mounted satellite communication sub-system, automatic satellite-tracking sub-system and computer control system. The system can be applied to medical command, operation tele-instruction, tele-education, tele -consultation, uploading medical service data and searching electronic medical information,and thus the field medical treatment and medical service are both improved. This paper introduces such aspects of the system as its principle, components, functions and application to medical service support.
