改良双腔球囊导管在插管失败的输卵管阻塞介入再通术中的应用价值

目的探讨改良双腔球囊导管在插管失败的输卵管阻塞介入再通术中的应用价值。方法回顾45例输卵管阻塞性不孕患者,应用常规法行介入再通术,其中输卵管开口插管失败采用改良双腔球囊导管行介入再通,统计分析常规法组与联合改良双腔球囊导管法组(联合法组)的输卵管开口插管成功率、输卵管阻塞的开通率。结果输卵管阻塞性不孕患者45例,共阻塞输卵管90条,采用常规法输卵管开口插管成功32条,其中开通成功31条,插管成功率为35.56%,开通率96.88%。采用联合法输卵管开口插管成功90条,输卵管开通83条,插管成功率为100%,开通率92.22%,7条输卵管因阻塞病情严重无法开通,其中双侧均未能开通1例。所有患者术中均无严重并发症发生。随访12个月,妊娠率48.65%。常规法组与联合法组输卵管开口插管成功率差异具有统计学意义(χ^2=85.574,P=0.000),而输卵管开通率差异无统计学意义(χ^2=0.248,P=0.619)。结论对于常规法输卵管开口插管失败者,采用联合改良双腔球囊导管可提高输卵管开口插管成功率。采用改良双腔球囊导管介入再通与常规法开通效果相当,可作为常规介入再通输卵管开口插管失败的备选方案。     

An electronic travel guide for visually impaired – vehicle board recognition system through computer vision techniques

Abstract

Purpose: In the context of assistive technology, mobility takes the meaning of “moving safely, gracefully, and comfortably”.The aim of this article is to provide a system which will be a convenient means of navigation for the Visually Impaired people, in the public transport system.

Method: A blind regular commuter who travels by public transport facility finds difficulty in identifying the vehicle that is nearing the stop. Hence, a real-time system that dynamically identifies the nearing vehicle and informs the commuters is necessary. This paper proposes such a system namely the “Vehicle Board Recognition System” (VBRS). Computer Vision techniques such as segmentation, object recognition, text detection and optical character recognition are utilized to build the system, which will detect, analyze, derive and communicate the information to the passengers.

Results: Thanks to the rapid development in technology, there are several navigation systems both hand held and wearable, available to help visually impaired (VI) people move comfortably both indoor and outdoor. Many blind people are not comfortable in using these devices or they are not affordable for them. Thus the proposed system gives them the comfort of navigation.

Conclusion: This system can be installed in the bus stop to assist the Visually Impaired, from externally rather than their hand held or wearable assistive devices.

• Implications for rehabilitation

• This proposed system will help the visually impaired to

• ensure secure navigation

• be independent of the others

• develop self confidence.

• overcome the training, affordability of wearable/ handheld devices.

     

基于组合不变量配准的数字减影算法

在现代医学中，DSA是X光片血管可视化技术的重要组成部分之一，在DSA中图像配准对消除运动伪影起着关键作用。运用一种基于组合不变量的相似度测量的模板匹配和弹性TPS算法配准减影方法，并根据实际情况有所改进。经过试验证明这种方法可以自动并有效地去除运动伪影，其速度和血管图像质量均比较理想。     

穿刺针导引技术在超声引导下臂丛神经阻滞中的应用

目的设计超声引导下臂丛神经阻滞时的穿刺针导引器,并在体外和临床上验证其效果。方法自制一个穿刺针导引器,其主要部分是一个双层的扇形不锈钢薄片。选择80例在臂丛神经阻滞下行上肢手术的患者,随机分为自由手组和导引组,每组40人。由四位麻醉医师实施在超声引导下臂丛神经阻滞(锁骨上入路),每位医师完成20例,10例用自由手技术,10例用穿刺针导引器引导技术。记录穿刺针的主观可视性、阻滞完成时间、临床效果以及麻醉医师和患者对臂丛神经阻滞的满意度。结果导引组的针的主观可视性显著优于自由手组(P<0.05);导引组的阻滞完成时间明显短于自由手组(P<0.01);麻醉医师使用导引技术的满意度高于使用自由手技术(P<0.05)。结论使用穿刺针引导技术更容易完成超声引导下臂丛神经阻滞。

Linkage guide for rotational alignment during total knee arthroplasty

A linkage guide was devised for use in conjunction with knee arthroplasty instruments to achieve proper component rotation. The femoral component was rotationally aligned to the surgical epicondylar axis using one guide. The other guides were used after all bone surfaces were cut and soft tissue balancing was completed. A Kirschner wire was guided into the proximal tibial aspect parallel to the sagittal plane of the femoral component with the patella in its normal position and the knee in full extension. The wire was used as a reference to determine tibial component rotation. The relative rotational alignment of 21 knees in 19 patients who had undergone cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty utilizing this guide was assessed using the modified Eckhoff method. The results of radiographic analysis were compared with those in a control group of 25 knees where the guide was not employed. The external rotation of the femoral component relative to the tibial component was 1.3° ± 2.0° (mean ± SD) in the guided group and 1.1° ± 4.4° in the control group. The relative rotational angle was significantly more consistent using the guide. Implant malrotation can be reduced using our technique.

Simple,rapid, and accurate determination of deletion mutations by automated dna sequencing of heteroduplex fragments of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene generated by PCR amplification

Germline mutations in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the adenomatous polyposis coli gene. PCR products from heterozygous patients for deletions of this gene formed four distinct bands on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The four fragments were subsequently purified and both strands of each fragment were directly sequenced, using an automated DNA sequencer and the same primers as those for PCR amplification. It was found that the two slower migrating fragments were “bulge” heteroduplexes, while the other two were homoduplexes made up of two wild-type strands and two deletion-mutant strands, respectively. The sites of deletions in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene could be exactly determined in four of the five patients. In an attempt to identify deletion-carriers of familial adenomatous polyposis at the presymptomatic stage, a family study was also carried out, and two children were found to have the same mutations as those of their affected parents. The direct sequencing of heteroduplex fragments generated during PCR amplification is a potentially useful method for detecting mutations of not only the adenomatous polyposis coli gene but also many other genes of genetic diseases. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
