  • Real-time Three Dimensional Echocardiography Guided Closure of Atrial Septal Defect through a RightMinithoracotomy in Comparison with Traditional Surgical Repair under Cardiopulmonary Bypass

    Objective To compare surgical results between real-time three dimensional echocardiography(RT-3DE) guided closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) through a right minithoracotomy and traditional surgical repair under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Sixty-four patients with secundum ASD received surgical repair in the First People’s Hospital of Honghe Autonomous Prefecture from April 2009 to April 2012. According to different surgical approach, all the patients were divided into group A and B. In group A, 35 patients underwent traditional ASD repair under CPB including 20males and 15 females with their age of 12-56 (16.4±4.0) years. In group B, 29 patients received real-time RT-3DE guidedASD closure through a right minithoracotomy without CPB, including 20 males and 15 females with their age of 15-50 (18.5±0.2) years. Operation time,postoperative mechanical ventilation time,hospital stay,chest drainage,mortality,morbidity and follow-up outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. Results Operation time (110.47±35.90 minutesvs. 159.32±20.60 minutes),postoperative mechanical ventilation time (10.40±22.30 hours vs. 16.40±12.20 hours),chestdrainage (106.71±85.20 ml vs. 146.70±75.63 ml)and postoperative hospital stay (4.0±1.0 days vs. 7.0±1.0 days)ofgroup B were significantly shorter or less than those of group A. In group A, 1 patient died postoperatively and 7 patientshad postoperative complications. In group B, there was no in-hospital mortality and 3 patients had postoperative complications.Postoperative morbidity of group A was significantly higher than that of group B (20.0% vs. 10.3%,P<0.05) . ConclusionFor ASD patients with definite surgical indications,RT-3DE guided ASD closure through a right minithoracotomy has more advantages over traditional surgical repair under CBP.

  • Magnetic Resonance Image Fusion Based on Three Dimensional Band Limited Shearlet Transform

    More and more medical devices can capture different features of human body and form three dimensional (3D) images. In clinical applications, usually it is required to fuse multiple source images containing different and crucial information into one for the purpose of assisting medical treatment. However, traditional image fusion methods are normally designed for two dimensional (2D) images and will lead to loss of the third dimensional information if directly applied to 3D data. Therefore, a novel 3D magnetic image fusion method was proposed based on the combination of newly invented beyond wavelet transform, called 3D band limited shearlet transformand (BLST), and four groups of traditional fusion rules. The proposed method was then compared with the 2D and 3D wavelet and dual-tree complex wavelet transform fusion methods through 4 groups of human brain T2* and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) images. The experiments indicated that the performance of the method based on 3D transform was generally superior to the existing methods based on 2D transform. Taking advantage of direction representation, shearlet transform could effectively improve the performance of conventional fusion method based on 3D transform. It is well concluded, therefore, that the proposed method is the best among the methods based on 2D and 3D transforms.

    ObjectiveTo study the preparation and cytocompatibility of bone tissue engineering scaffolds by combining low temperature three dimensional (3D) printing and vacuum freeze-drying techniques. MethodsCollagen (COL)and silk fibroin (SF) were manufactured from fresh bovine tendon and silkworm silk. SolidWorks2014 was adopted to design bone tissue engineering scaffold models with the size of 9 mm×9 mm×3 mm and pore diameter of 500μm. According to the behavior of composite materials that low temperature 3D printing equipment required, COL, SF, and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA)at a ratio of 9:3:2 and low temperature 3D printing in combination with vacuum freeze-drying techniques were accepted to build COL/SF/nHA composite scaffolds. Gross observation and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were applied to observe the morphology and surface structures of composite scaffolds. Meanwhile, compression displacement, compression stress, and elasticity modulus were measured by mechanics machine to analyze mechanical properties of composite scaffolds. The growth and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells were evaluated using SEM, inverted microscope, and MTT assay after cultured for 1, 7, 14, and 21 days on the composite scaffolds. The RT-PCR and Western blot techniques were adopted to detect the gene and protein expressions of COL I, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OCN) in MC3T3-E1 cells after 21 days. ResultsCOL/SF/nHA composite scaffolds were successfully prepared by low temperature 3D printing technology and vacuum freeze-drying techniques; the SEM results showed that the bionic bone scaffolds were 3D polyporous structures with macropores and micropores. The mechanical performance showed that the elasticity modulus was (344.783 07±40.728 55) kPa; compression displacement was (0.958 41±0.000 84) mm; and compression stress was (0.062 15±0.007 15) MPa. The results of inverted microscope, SEM, and MTT method showed that a large number of cells adhered to the surface with full extension and good cells growth inside the macropores, which demonstrated a satisfactory proliferation rate of the MC3T3-E1 cells on the composite scaffolds. The RT-PCR and Western blot electrophoresis revealed gene expressions and protein synthesis of COL I, ALP, and OCN in MC3T3-E1 cells. ConclusionLow temperature 3D printing in combination with vacuum freeze-drying techniques could realize multi-aperture coexisted bionic bone tissue engineering scaffolds and control the microstructures of composite scaffolds precisely that possess good cytocompatibility. It was expected to be a bone defect repair material, which lays a foundation for further research of bone defect.

  • Finite element study on calcium phosphate ceramic screw implanting after removing dynamic hip screw

    Objective To investigate the validity of improving the femur’s mechanical characteristics by implanting calcium phosphate ceramic screws after removing dynamic hip screw (DHS). Methods The three dimensional finite element model of the femur was built based on the CT scanning of a normal male volunteer. Then the models of the femur with and without DHS were established. According to calcium phosphate ceramic screws with porosity and apparent elastic modulus, 80% and 0.1 GPa were set as group A, 50% and 1.0 GPa as group B, and 30% and 1.5 GPa as group C. Von Mises stress distribution and maximum stress were recorded when the joint was maximally loaded in a gait cycle. Results The Von Mises in normal femoral shaft was uniform; no phenomena of stress concentration was observed and the maximum stress located at the joint load-bearing site of the proximal femur. The stress concentration was observed in the femur without DHS, and the maximum stress located at the distal femur around the screw hole. By comparing several different calcium phosphate ceramic screws, the stress distribution of group B was similar to normal femur model, and the maximum stress located at the joint load-bearing site. The other screws of groups A and C showed varying degrees of stress concentration. Conclusion Implanting calcium phosphate ceramic screw can improve the mechanical characteristics of the femur after removing dynamic hip screw, and the calcium phosphate ceramic screw with 50% porosity and 1.0 GPa apparent elastic modulus is suitable for implanting.

  • Extraction and recognition of attractors in three-dimensional Lorenz plot

    Lorenz plot (LP) method which gives a global view of long-time electrocardiogram signals, is an efficient simple visualization tool to analyze cardiac arrhythmias, and the morphologies and positions of the extracted attractors may reveal the underlying mechanisms of the onset and termination of arrhythmias. But automatic diagnosis is still impossible because it is lack of the method of extracting attractors by now. We presented here a methodology of attractor extraction and recognition based upon homogeneously statistical properties of the location parameters of scatter points in three dimensional LP (3DLP), which was constructed by three successive RR intervals as X, Y and Z axis in Cartesian coordinate system. Validation experiments were tested in a group of RR-interval time series and tags data with frequent unifocal premature complexes exported from a 24-hour Holter system. The results showed that this method had excellent effective not only on extraction of attractors, but also on automatic recognition of attractors by the location parameters such as the azimuth of the points peak frequency (APF) of eccentric attractors once stereographic projection of 3DLP along the space diagonal. Besides, APF was still a powerful index of differential diagnosis of atrial and ventricular extrasystole. Additional experiments proved that this method was also available on several other arrhythmias. Moreover, there were extremely relevant relationships between 3DLP and two dimensional LPs which indicate any conventional achievement of LPs could be implanted into 3DLP. It would have a broad application prospect to integrate this method into conventional long-time electrocardiogram monitoring and analysis system.

  • SDP three dimensional classification method for pectus excavatum

    Objective To introduce a novel classification method for pectus excavatum. Methods A retrospective review of 569 operative patients with pectus excavatum between January 2015 and September 2017 in our hospital was performed. The malformations were described and classified from three dimensions: symmetry (abbreviated as S), depth (abbreviated as D) and position (abbreviated as P). The final integral was calculated according to the deformity index, so that the severity of the deformity could be evaluated. All patients underwent Nuss or modified Nuss surgery. Results All pectus excavatum deformities were classified into 24 types. The most common type was S1D2P1, accounting for 27.2% of the total patients followed by S1D2P2, S1D1P2 and S2D2P2, accounting for 12.0%, 11.6% and 11.4% of all patients respectively. S1D3P3, S1D3P4 and S2D3P3 were not found in our patients. According to the integral, 321 patients were mild, 23 severe, and the rest were moderate. The appearance of all patients improved after the operation. Among them, 405 patients were implanted with a plate, 159 with two plates and 5 with three plates. The length of hospital stay was 5-12 d, with an average of 7.3±1.5 d. Conclusion This classification method is a more comprehensive classification, but its scientific and practical characteristics need to be further confirmed.

  • Design and verification of microelectrode twisting machine

    As an interface between external electronic devices and internal neural nuclei, microelectrodes play an important role in many fields, such as animal robots, deep brain stimulation and neural prostheses. Aiming at the problem of high price and complicated fabrication process of microelectrode, a microelectrode twisting machine based on open source electronic prototyping platform (Arduino) and three-dimensional printing technology was proposed, and its microelectrode fabrication performance and neural stimulation performance were verified. The results show that during the fabrication of microelectrodes, the number of positive twisting turns of the electrode wire should generally be set to about 1.8 times of its length, and the number of reverse twisting rings is independent of the length, generally about 5. Moreover, compared with the traditional instrument, the device is not only inexpensive and simple to manufacture, but also has good expandability. It has a positive significance for both the personalization and popularization of microelectrode fabrication and the reduction of experimental cost.
