Development and application of lens parameters calculating software based on B ultrasound images / 生物医学工程学杂志

This project was aimed to develop a simple, convenient and reliable computer image processing software for the measurement of lens dimensions, including the radius of curvature of anterior lens surface (RCALS), the radius of curvature of posterior lens surface (RCPLS) and the lens volume (LV). On the basis of lens images captured by B ultrasound, our computer software was designed to calculate the three parameters of lens in accordance to geometry principle. This software comprises Program I and Program II, and they both possess different calculation methods. Then they were used in a group of normal volunteers who were recruited via randomization and the outcomes were compared. The results showed that the two programs were developed successfully, and the outcomes of RCALS, RCPLS and LV calculated by the two programs were similar. The standard deviation of Program II is smaller than that of Program I. The computer software for calculating RCALS, RCPLS and LV was characterized by scientific design and easy-to-use. In respect of calculating repetition, Program II was better than Program I, and it possesses prosperous prospect in terms of clinical research and application.

Evaluation of curative effects of Qiliqiangxin capsule in treatment of patients with chronic congestive heart failure / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

Objective To study the clinical effect of Qiliqiangxin capsule (QC) in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods According to random number table,64 CHF patients were randomly assigned into therapy group (n=33) and control group (n=31).During the treatment,sweat secretion,heart function improved rate,6 min walking distance,the side-effect and compliance were observed.The levels of serum Na+ and K+ of patients were measured on the 2nd,8th and 15th hospital day.Results Compared with control group,the remission rate of sweat secretion in therapy group was higher after treatment (P0.05);compared with control group,the improved rates of heart function and 6 min walking distance in therapy group were higher after two weeks (P0.05);on the 15th day,the level of serum Na+ in therapy group was higher than that in control group (P0.05).During treatment,33 patients had not any uncomfortable complain about this drug and nobody stopped using this capsule;while there was no complain from the patients of control group.Conclusion The effect of QC about releasing hyperidrosis in a short time is conspicuous.QC can improve heart function,but it plays this role gradually.QC can keep the level of serum Na+ to some extent.There is no influence on the level of serum K+.The tolerance of this capsule is well.
