ABSTRACT
This is the design of a mechanical systems for use in the balanceable system of ambulance, which can keep the medical service bed at the ambulance level, whatever the terrain is. A level detector will detect the level state of the bed and turn it to a signal. The central processing unit will use this signal to analyse and control the movement of the motor. By this design (which uses the rolling rail as a drive transmission and makes three supports of the bed go up and down), the bed will keep level. With the use of this design, the balanceable system of ambulance can counteract 35 degrees. The error is controlled within +/- 1 degree. And the response time is within 0.3 s. The method of registration can be effective for keeping the bed at the ambulance level, and for reducing the chance of making the patient get hurt on the way to hospital.

Objective To evaluate dynamic graciloplasty (DGP) for canine in situ anal reconstruction. Methods Seventeen dogs were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In control group, on the stage 1, the gracilis muscle were dissected in situ, manometry performed intraoperatively; In experimental group, the gracilis muscle were dissected in situ and stimulated chronically starting 7 days postoperatively. On stage 2, abdominoperineal resection of anus and graciloplasty for anal reconstruction were performed in two groups. After 2 weeks recovery, manometry and muscular fatigue-resistant curve (MFRC) were observed while myostimulator is switched off and on. The muscle of neosphincter was biopsied. Results After chronic low frequency electrical stimulation (CLFS), the percentage of type Ⅰ fibers in the stimulation group was higher than the control group (P0.05), but functioning neosphincter pressure is different significantly (P
