An electronic device comprises a housing configured to contact a user's skin, an optical transmitter array, an optical receiver, a memory element and a processing element. The optical transmitter array outputs a plurality of optical signals that pass through the user's skin, each of the plurality of optical signals having one of three wavelengths. The optical receiver receives the optical signals and generates corresponding photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals. The memory element stores absorption constants for deoxyhemoglobin blood content, oxyhemoglobin blood content and glycated hemoglobin blood content, each absorption constant associated with one of the first wavelength, the second wavelength or the third wavelength. The processing element determines a glycated hemoglobin blood level for the user based on a ratio of a determined glycated hemoglobin blood content to a sum of determined deoxyhemoglobin blood content, a determined oxyhemoglobin blood content and a determined glycated hemoglobin blood content.

The invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicines, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating acute ischemic stroke and a preparation method thereof. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is prepared from rheum officinale, ground beetles, fructus trichosanthis, angelica sinensis, immature bitter oranges, arisaema cum bile and leeches, in the formula, the rheum officinale serves as a monarch drug and has the effects of relaxing bowels, purging heat and washing away phlegm, so that the effects of smoothing middle energizer and regulating qi activity are achieved; the immature bitter orange is used as a ministerial drug, assists the rhubarb in descending qi and relaxing bowels, and also can relieve qi and remove food retention, and eliminate dampness and phlegm; the fructus trichosanthis and the arisaema cum bile have the effects of clearing heat and eliminating phlegm, the arisaema cum bile has the effects of removing stasis and dredging collaterals, and the ground beetles and the leeches are matched to break blood and remove stasis and clear and activate the channels and collaterals and serve as adjuvant drugs; the whole angelica sinensis nourishes and activates blood, disperses blood stasis and dredges vessels, introduces all the medicines into blood and serves as a guide medicine. The whole prescription is small in dosage, specific in force, light in weight, heavy in taste, capable of regulating blood and qi simultaneously, capable of treating both symptoms and root causes, capable of regulating qi and dredging collaterals, removing blood stasis and stagnation, capable of clearing phlegm heat and remarkable in treatment effect on acute ischemic stroke.

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for treating a pregnancy related hypertensive disorder, such as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, using ex vivo treatment with an anti-sEng antibody bound to a solid support in order to reduce blood levels of sEng. The present invention provides a method of treating or preventing a disorder associated with soluble Endoglin (sEng), such as a pregnancy-related hypertensive disorder, in a subject in need thereof comprising providing ex vivo to the subject anti-sEng antibodies or sEng-binding fragments thereof in an amount sufficient and for a time sufficient to decrease the subject's blood levels of sEng to treat or prevent the disorder associated with sEng in the subject.

This application relates to a vascular artificial embolism formation and control system. The system includes an embolism pressure control component, a gas pipeline, a liquid level adjustment component, and a liquid pipeline. The embolism pressure control component controls the gas pressure and volume of the artificial embolism; the liquid level adjustment component includes a liquid extraction control element and a liquid collection container, used to adjust the blood level in the blood vessel after the artificial embolism at the required pressure is formed, thereby controlling the position of the artificial embolism within the blood vessel. This control system can precisely control the gas pressure, gas volume, and position of the artificial embolism in the blood vessel, overcoming the problem of blood backflow during the retrograde movement of the artificial embolism, and significantly reducing the risk of the artificial embolism entering the circulatory system through collateral circulation, effectively preventing the possibility of gas embolism causing harm to other parts of the body; it also reduces the consumption of artificial embolism gas and the loss of blood from the patient during the procedure.
