Availability of a newly devised ambulatory urodynamics monitoring system based on personal device assistance in patients with spinal cord injury

Conventional urodynamics systems have been widely used for the assessment of bladder functions. However, they have some drawbacks due to the unfamiliar circumstances for the patient, restrictive position during the test, expense and immovability of the instrument as well as the unphysiological filling of the bladder. To mitigate these problems, we developed a fully ambulatory urodynamics monitoring system, which enables the abdominal pressure to be measured in a non-invasive manner, as well as the manual recording of various events such as the bladder sensations or leakage of urine. Conventional (CMG) and furosemide-stimulated filling cystometry (FCMG) were performed for 28 patients with neurogenic bladders caused by spinal cord injury (24 males and 4 females, age: 49.4 ± 13.9 years, BMI: 23.5 ± 2.4). There were high correlation coefficients (r=0.97 ± 0.02) between the clinical parameters measured by the conventional rectal catheter and those measured by our non-invasive algorithm in the FCMG studies. Also, 10 of the patients (36%) were diagnosed as having different reflexibility of the bladder between conventional CMG and FCMG (p<0.05). In the patients with detrusor overactivity, the average volume and detrusor pressure at bladder sensation in FCMG were lower than those in CMG, while the average compliance was higher (p<0.05). In the patients with areflexic bladders, the number of patients with detrusor overactivity was higher in FCMG and leakage was observed more frequently. These results showed that our system could be a useful additional tool in the clinical assessment of patients in which conventional cystometry failed to explain their symptoms.

大历史视野下中国饮食走进西方世界的文化解读——英国作家J．A．G．罗伯茨《东食西渐》评析

英国作家J．A．G．罗伯茨先生的《东食西渐》一书,是从一个真正意义上的西方人的视角,运用丰富翔实的英文书籍资料,包括一些珍贵的历史图片撰写而成,而且这些资料在中国国内几乎是找不到的。他从一个生活在中国本土的中国学者无法做到的研究角度,对中国饮食文化自18世纪以来在西方的传播渗透与普及流行进行了深度的介绍与揭示。其深远的文化意义与历史贡献是不言而喻的。

Machinability of Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced by 3-D Network Structure

Metal matrix composites reinforced by three-dimensional (3-D) continuous network structure reinforcement (3DCNRMMC) are difficult to machine due to serious tool wear and poor surface roughness caused by the brittle and hard reinforcement which interpenetrate into ductile matrix. In order to achieve the approach of low cost of 3DCNRMMC, the machinability of it needs to be understood. The influences of three cutting parameters and volume fraction of reinforcement on cutting force were analyzed in detail. The results indicate that: (1) Due to the brittle phase(s) introduced into ductile matrix of composites, there is a large fluctuation of cutting force causing deterioration of machinability. The fluctuation ranges of cutting forces, initially increase rapidly with the increase of volume fraction of reinforcement and then decrease finally, are largest at the range of the volume fraction of 55–65%; (2) The influence of cutting parameters on cutting force is obvious. With the increases of cutting speed, cutting force decreases gradually unless cutting speed exceeds the value of 209 m/min. Cutting forces increase with increasing feed rate and depth of cut; (3) Owing to the large fluctuation of cutting force, there were some cratered surfaces caused by Si₃N₄ reinforcement pulling-out and flaking-off. Some brittle phase protruding from the machined surface caused the deterioration of machined surface.
