The scalp localization system of neurosurgery based on augmented reality theory / 生物医学工程学杂志

Neurosurgery navigation system, which is expensive and complicated to operate, has a low penetration rate, and is only found in some large medical institutions. In order to meet the needs of other small and medium-sized medical institutions for neurosurgical navigation systems, the scalp localization system of neurosurgery based on augmented reality (AR) theory was developed. AR technology is used to fuse virtual world images with real images. The system integrates computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the patient's head in real life to achieve the scalp positioning. This article focuses on the key points of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction, and AR image layer fusion in medical image visualization. This research shows that the system is suitable for a variety of mobile phones, can achieve two-dimensional (2D) image display, 3D rendering and clinical scalp positioning application, which has a certain significance for the auxiliary neurosurgical head surface positioning.

Comprehensive application of various screening strategies of Lynch syndrome / 中华胃肠外科杂志

Lynch syndrome (LS), which is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer, accounts for about 3% of all colorectal cancers. However, due to its various clinical manifestations, it is difficult to be diagnosed. The diagnosis of LS requires comprehensive application of various screening criteria (such as the Amsterdam criteria, Bethesda criteria), predictive models, risk factors, immunohistochemistry test of mismatch repair (MMR) protein, microsatellite instability (MSI) detection, MLH1 methylation detection, BRAF gene mutation detection, germline gene mutation detection, and so on. LS can be diagnosed only after the identification of pathogenic germline mutation of MMR gene. The first-degree and second-degree relatives of LS patients are recommended to be tested for the identified mutant gene. For LS patients and gene mutation carriers, LS associated cancer can be detected early or even prevented by monitoring and preventive surgery. Reproductive techniques can be used to prevent this disease from being passed down to the next generation.

Effect of circadian intracranial pressure changes on prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of intracranial pressure fluctuation on the prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted on the clinical data of 30 patients with TBI hospitalized between June 2012 and June 2014.There were 21 males and 9 females,aged (43.0 ± 19.8) years.After the intracranial pressure probe was implanted,the intracranial pressure of TBI patients was monitored continuously and the data were recorded per minute.A single cosine method was used in analyzing the circadian rhythm of intracranial pressure data.Furthermore,the ratio of the amplitude of the circadian parameter (A) to the median (M) value (A/M) was selected to evaluate the biologic rhythm of patients.The correlations of circadian rhythm parameter A/M with Glasgow Outcome Scale (GCS) and with extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS-E) were analyzed using linear regression.Results The circadian rhythm was observed in all patients regardless of injury severity (P ＜ 0.01).The circadian rhythm parameter A/M of intracranial pressure was positively correlated with the GCS of patients at discharge (R2 =0.346,F =14.797,P ＜0.01) and with the GOS-E (R2 =0.356,F =15.502,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The intracranial pressure fluctuation of TBI patients follows circadian rhythm,which might be correlated with the prognosis of TBI patients.

Study of the Effect of Cholecystokinin-Induced Acute Pancreatitis on the Free-Running Rhythm of Mouse / 生物医学工程学杂志

The present paper reports the effect of pancreatitis induced by cholecystokinin (CCK) on free-running rhythm of locomotor activity of the ICR mice, and analyzes the interaction of inflammatory diseases and acute pancreatitis with circadian rhythm system. In the study, the mice were modeled under different phases of acute pancreatitis in DD status (Double Dark, constant dark condition). By comparing of the inflammatory status and the indicators of rhythm before and after modeling of the running wheel activity group and the rest group, it was observed that the rest group showed more possibility of inflammation than the activity group did in ICR mice model of acute pancreatitis. In the rest phase model, the extension of the period is particularly longer. The results presented indicated that CCK-induced acute pancreatitis impacted free activity rhythm of ICR mice. Also in a free running model under different phase, the inflammation severity was proved significantly different. This study provides possible clues for the research of the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis severe tendency.

Clinical manifestation and management of acute cholangitis severe type with different types of obstruction / 中华消化外科杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestation and management of acute cholangitis severe type (ACST) with different typos of obstruction. Methods From January 1997 to December 2006, 164 consecutive patients with ACST had been admitted to Chengdu First People's Hospital. All patients were divided into extrahepatic type group (n=122), intrahepatic type group (n=18) and mixed type group (n=24) accord-ing to the types of obstruction. Clinical manifestation and therapeutic outcome of the 3 groups were analyzed using chi-square test, continuity correction test or Fisher exact test. Results There was no significant difference in clinical manifestation between patients with extrahepatic type and those with mixed type (P>0.05). The incidence of jaundice and abdominal pain in patients with intrahepatic type is significantly lower than those with extrahepatic type (P<0.05). The incidences of distention in consciousness and response to initial medical treat-ment were higher than those with extrahepatic type (P<0.05). The total mortality rate was 9.8% (16/164). Of all patients, 123 received open surgery. There was no significant difference in morbidity and mortality in patients with intrahepatic type and mixed type (χ~2=0.172,0.789; 1.769, 1.948, P>0.05). In emergency operation, the incidence of biliary high pressure and postoperative vital sign improvement rates were significant higher in patients with extrahepatic type than the other 2 types (P<0.05). The morbidity and mortality of patients who received emergency operation were higher than non-emergency operation (P<0.05). Conclusions The clinical manifestation of ACST is different between intrahepatic obstructive type and the other 2 types. There is no signi-ficant difference in morbidity and mortality among the 3 types of obstruction. The morbidity and mortality are high in patients who received emergency operation. Proper management of surgical timing is helpful in decreasing the morbidity and motality of ACST.
