Accurate measurements of voltage and current from electrosurgery are the basis of development of electrosurgery with feedback function. We, therefore, developed a parameter measurement system based on PC, with high voltage and current from electrosurgery being sensed with transformers, amplified, filtered, transformed into single-ended signals, and then into RMS signals. The root mean square (RMS) signals were transformed into digital signals through DAQ card and the data was processed in PC with Labview. The process included sampling, displaying and storage. The experiment results indicated that the measurement system could measure the output parameters from electrosurgery steadily and correctly so that the development of the system has been successful. It can be the basis of development of embedded parameters measurement system and can provide accurate feedback information for intellectual electrosurgery.

Methods The data of 5 300 road traffic accidents from 2003 to 2005 in Deyang were retrospectively analyzed. The rules and characters were summarized. Results More males were injured or dead than females in the 5 300 road traffic accidents (male : female = 2.58︰1 ). The young adults aged from 16 to 55 accounted for 75.72% of all the casualties. The workers, agriculture employees and students had the largest percentage (52.73%) of the injuries. Walking and riding motorcycles and bicycles were the main causes leading to the injury, which occupied 59.34%. Conclusion The effective measures to reduce trauma due to traffic accidents will attribute to enhance the personnel awareness of road safety education, improve the publicity work and enforcement of traffic laws, and strengthen collaboration of different epartments.
Objective To explore the application of robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation combined with total endoscopic decompression and interbody fusion in single segment lumbar decompression and fusion. Methods A total of 27 cases undergoing single segment lumbar decompression and fusion between August 2020 and May 2021 in the People’s Hospital of Deyang City were retrospectively collected. They were divided into group A and B according to their surgery method. The patients in group A underwent robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation combined with total endoscopic decompression and interbody fusion surgery, while the ones in group B underwent traditional posterior decompression and fusion. The operation time, amount of bleeding, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score before operation and one month and three months after operation, and success rate of screw placement were compared. Results There were 12 patients in group A, 5 males and 7 females, aged (59.83±6.79) years, and 15 patients in group B, 6 males and 9 females, aged (53.73±14.87) years. The amount of intraoperative bleeding [(195.00±45.23) vs. (240.00±47.06) mL] and postoperative hospital stay [(5.92±1.56) vs. (8.33±3.62) d] in group A were less than those in group B (P<0.05), while the operation time [(185.80±52.13) vs. (160.70±21.37) min] and the success rate of screw placement [100.0% (48/48) vs. 96.7% (58/60)] had no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The VAS score and ODI score of the two groups decreased significantly over time (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in VAS score between the two groups at the same time point before operation, one month after operation, or three months after operation (P>0.05). The ODI score of group A was better than that of group B one month after operation (P=0.010), but there was no significant difference between the two groups before operation or three months after operation (P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with traditional open surgery, the application of robot-assisted total endoscopic lumbar decompression and fusion technology in single segment lumbar fusion has good early clinical outcome, high success rate of screw placement, and small trauma, which is beneficial to early functional recovery and has the significance of further exploring its application prospect.
Objective
To explore the diagnosis value of the low dose multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) imaging in pulmonary fungal infection in order to improve its diagnosis level.
Methods
CT manifestations of 106 cases of pulmonary fungal infection confirmed by operation, pathology, mycetes cultivation and follow-ups of clinical therapy were retrospectively analyzed. All cases underwent low dose MSCT examinations including CARE dose 4D and sinogram affirmed iterative reconstruction technology, and 6 cases underwent contrast-enhanced CT scanning.
Results
Among the basic MSCT findings of pulmonary fungal infection, they showed patch-nodular type in 54 cases, solid variant in 38 cases, and tumor type in 14 cases. In all cases, 91 cases displayed as mulifocality, 83 cases as polymorphism and 78 cases as polytropy. Among the 106 cases with comparative distinctive MSCT manifestations, bud of branch sign were showed in 39 cases, halo sign in 32 cases, wedge shape consolidation in 19 cases, ice needle sign in 15 cases, crescentic sign in 11 cases, air ring sign in 6 cases, and contra-halo sign in 4 cases. The nodules in the cavities were not enhanced in enhanced scan in 5 cases.
Conclusions
There are some distinctive MSCT findings in patients with pulmonary fungal infection. Pulmonary fungal infection can be diagnosed with typical MSCT findings in close combination with the clinical information.
Objective
To establish a repeatable, simple, and effective model of rat crush injury and crush syndrome (CS) so as to lay a foundation for further study on CS.
Methods
A total of 42 female Sprague Dawley rats (2-month-old, weighing 160-180 g) were divided randomly into the control group (n=6) and experimental group (n=36). The rats of the experimental group were used to establish the crush injury and CS model in both lower limbs by self-made crush injury mould. The survival rate and hematuria rate were observed after decompression. The biochemical indexes of blood were measured at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours after decompression. The samples of muscle, kidney, and heart were harvested for morphological observation. There was no treatment in the control group, and the same tests were performed.
Results
Seven rats died and 15 rats had hematuria during compression in the experimental group. Swelling of the lower limb and muscle tissue was observed in the survival rats after reperfusion. The liver function test results showed that the levels of alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P lt; 0.05). The renal function test results showed that blood urea nitrogen level increased significantly after 2 hours of decompression in the experimental group, showing significant difference when compared with that in the control group at 12, 24, and 48 hours after decompression (P lt; 0.05); the creatinine level of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours, showing significant difference at 8, 12, and 24 hours (P lt; 0.05). The serum K+ concentration of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at all time, showing significant difference at the other time (P lt; 0.05) except at 2 hours. The creatine kinase level showed an increasing tendency in the experimental group, showing significant difference when compared with the level of the control group at 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours (P lt; 0.05). The histological examination of the experimental group showed that obvious edema and necrosis of the muscle were observed at different time points; glomeruli congestion and swelling, renal tubular epithelial cell degeneration, edema, necrosis, and myoglobin tube type were found in the kidneys; and myocardial structure had no obvious changes.
Conclusion
The method of the crush injury and CS model by self-made crush injury mould is a simple and effective procedure and the experimental result is stable. It is a simple method to establish an effective model of rats crush injury and CS.
