Gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumour presenting as small bowel volvulus: a rare disease with a rare presentation

A 78-year-old Chinese woman presented with recurrent postprandial abdominal pain. Computerised tomography revealed a small bowel tumour causing volvulus of a segment of the small bowel. Laparotomy confirmed an extraluminal ileal tumour with partial volvulus of the involved small bowel segment. Small bowel resection was done. Histological and ultrastructural studies confirmed a gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumour. We review the medical literature on this rare tumour.     

Effects of ACh on the electric activity of rostral ventrolateral medullary neurons of rat in vitro

Extracellular single-unit discharges were obtained from 165 spontaneously active neurons within the region of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) by glass microelectrode from 89 brain slices of the Sprague-Dawley rats. The units could be divided into three types: regular (61.8%), irregular (24.2%) and silent (14%). Acetylcholine (ACh, 0.1, 0.3 mumol/L) showed four kinds of effects on spontaneous discharges of RVLM neurons: excitatory, inhibitory, biphasic and non-responsive, counting respectively 41.8%, 20%, 3% and 35.2% of the neurons tested. The excitatory effect of ACh was dose-dependent. The effects, either excitatory or inhibitory, of ACh (n = 49) were mostly blocked by atropine (0.3 mumol/L, n = 42). The excitatory effect of ACh (n = 14) could be blocked mainly by selective antagonist of M1 receptor, pirenzepine (PZ, 30 nmol/L, n = 9), but not by selective antagonist of M2 receptor, methoctramine (MT) and AFDX-116. The inhibitory effect of ACh (n = 10) could be blocked mostly by M2 receptor antagonist MT (30 nmol/L, n = 7); and this inhibitory effect (n = 9) could be blocked mostly by another M2 receptor antagonist AFDX-116 (30 nmol/L, n = 6), but not by M1 receptor antagonist PZ.

一种探测二维电磁目标的新方法

电磁目标的探测对通信而言有着十分重要的意义。本文描述一种收敛迅速、结果准确、抗强随机噪声的探测二维电磁目标的新方法。首先从体等效原理出发得到一个积分方程组，此方程组可求解散射问题。随后，对此方程组求变分，变形后得到散射场变化与介电参数变化之间关系的矩阵方程，即反演方程。文中列举了几个例子，通过数值实验结果证明本法收敛速度快、反演精度高、适应复杂目标的能力强，能抗强随机噪声干扰     

一种新型陶瓷材料及其耐磨性

对新型Ａｌ２Ｏ３－ＴｉＣ－Ｃｏ陶瓷的磨粒磨损，冲蚀磨损及其在单颗粒作用下的摩擦磨损行为进行了研究。与ＡＴ３０（７０ｗｔ％Ａｌ２Ｏ３－３０ｗｔ％ＴｉＣ）陶瓷相比，Ａｌ２Ｏ３－ＴｉＣ－Ｃｏ陶瓷具有更为良好的耐磨性，金属钴的存在提高了基体的韧性，细化了晶粒，其综合力学性能得到了显著提高，ＡＴＣ陶瓷样品耐磨性与其强韧化水平和细致的组织结构有关。

红外背景干扰研究

根据从许多地区收集来的录象磁带上的图象数据和大量红外图象数据，对红外背景图象内的干扰进行了研究。图象内的噪声是以象元电平为单位的均方根形成计算。图象经过空间滤波处理，对其内的干扰再进行计算。为获得关于红外背景图象的空间频率构成的信息，在滤波和非滤波两种状态下计算了图象的光谱密度，把计算出的干扰值输入数据库取出多组数据并绘图，确定参数量（如天气、背景类型和测量条件等）对干扰电平的影响。
