Mothers' Anticipation and Prevention of Unintentional Injury to Young Children in the Home

Investigated anticipation and prevention of children's unintentionalinjuries in the home. 150 mothers of 1-, 2-, and 3-year-oldchildren kept weekly diaries of anticipated injuries and unanticipatedinjuries/near injuries to their child. Mothers anticipated between57 and 67% of all injury events, a majority when the child wasin the same room as the injury-causing agent prior to interactingwith it. Few anticipated injuries led to injury. In these casesno significant differences were found depending on child's ageand sex. In contrast, mothers of younger children most frequentlyreported preventing injury by physically restricting or movingthe child away and by changing the environment, whereas mothersof older children more frequently engaged in teaching.     

Significance of methods for purification of oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes for the efficiency of gene diagnosis by real-time PCR

Analysis of the use of real-time PCR with fluorescent registration of results for gene diagnosis of infectious diseases showed that the sensitivity and reliability of quantitative evaluation of DNA targets directly depended on the method of purification of oligonucleotide probes. Chromatographic behavior of synthetic probes carrying various fluorophores and fluorescence quenchers was analyzed. Approaches to optimization of purification methods are proposed enabling elimination of previously undetectable admixtures. The importance of these studies is explained by the need in extending the armory of methods for the development and production of diagnosticums for detection of infectious and hereditary diseases, identification of genetically modified organisms, and for a wide spectrum of research in molecular biology and medicine. __________ Translated from Byulleten’ Eksperimental’noi Biologii i Meditsiny, Vol. 145, No. 3, pp. 280–284, March, 2008     

超声多普勒管壁搏动和血流信号的分离研究

本研究提出利用经验模式分解(EMD)算法分解混叠有管壁成分的超声多普勒血流信号来实现管壁搏动和血流信号的分离。该方法首先将混叠有管壁搏动的超声多普勒血流信号分解为少量有限的分量,即内模函数(IMFs),然后根据管壁搏动信号与血流信号的功率比变化曲线,用比值法自动确定并去除低频管壁博动成分。在仿真实验中用提出的方法处理模拟的多普勒信号,对于靠近管腔内壁的血流信号其在频域功率谱上的相对误差为50%,在时域幅度的相对误差为45%,与高通滤波器方法的相对误差95%相比,准确性得到提高。基于个人计算机用C语言编程实现提出的算法,对实际采集的人体颈动脉多普勒信号可实现实时分离处理。结果表明:基于经验模式分解的滤波方法能有效客观地滤除管壁搏动信号,更准确地保留低频血流信号成分。

Simple two-electrode biosignal amplifier

A simple, cost effective circuit for a two-electrode non-differential biopotential amplifier is proposed. It uses a ‘virtual ground’ transimpedance amplifier and a parallel RC network for input common mode current equalisation, while the signal input impedance preserves its high value. With this innovative interface circuit, a simple non-inverting amplifier fully emulates high CMRR differential. The amplifier equivalent CMRR (typical range from 70–100 dB) is equal to the open loop gain of the operational amplifier used in the transimpedance interface stage. The circuit has very simple structure and utilises a small number of popular components. The amplifier is intended for use in various two-electrode applications, such as Holter-type monitors, defibrillators, ECG monitors, biotelemetry devices etc.     

Children conceived using ICSI do not have an increased risk of delayed mental development at 5 years of age

BACKGROUND: Concerns about possible adverse outcomes for children conceived using ICSI were highlighted in 1998 when 1-year-old ICSI children were found to be at increased risk (relative risk = 9.2) of delayed mental development compared with children conceived naturally or using IVF. As the findings were biologically plausible, it was considered important to reassess child development when a more accurate measure of long-term cognitive ability could be obtained. METHODS: The mental development of 97 ICSI, 80 IVF and 110 naturally conceived (NC) children at 5 years of age was assessed using intelligence quotients (IQ) obtained from the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scales of Intelligence. RESULTS: The mean full-scale IQ was 110 +/- 18 for ICSI, 111 +/- 13 for IVF and 114 +/- 13 for NC children (P = 0.21, non-significant). ICSI children were not at increased risk for delayed (full-scale IQ <85) cognitive development (ICSI 5.2%, IVF 2.5%, NC 0.9%; P = 0.18, non-significant). The only significant independent predictor of below-average full-scale IQ on multivariate analysis was lower maternal education level. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the genetic influence of parental cognitive ability is more important than the mode of conception in determining the long-term intellectual ability of children conceived using ICSI.

探究4种临床CT扫描方式对受检者辐射剂量的影响及胸部扫描辐射场的空间分布

目的 探究4种临床CT扫描方式对受检者常见组织吸收剂量的影响及胸部扫描的辐射场空间分布,以期为受检者与机房内空间辐射防护提供依据。方法 利用热释光探测器（TLD）测量仿真体模的眼晶体、甲状腺、性腺、胸部和腹部皮肤在4种CT扫描方式下的吸收剂量。利用TLD监测胸部螺旋扫描时距离CT诊断床不同位置处的空气比释动能。结果 仿真体模的眼晶体、甲状腺、性腺、胸部和腹部皮肤在4种CT扫描方式下的吸收剂量分别为0.040～64.818 mGy、0.154～10.155 mGy、0.028～0.154 mGy、0.443～17.141 mGy和0.093～14.346 mGy。胸部扫描时空间辐射场的空气比释动能最大值为0.049 mGy,且与CT球管距离越大数值越小。结论 4种CT扫描方式对受检者常见组织的吸收剂量一般不会超过阈剂量。单次CT胸部扫描时陪检者所受剂量较小。为减少辐射危害,在CT扫描中可采取屏蔽措施来减少受检者组织吸收剂量,同时陪检者应适当增加与球管和诊断床的距离。
