This application relates to the field of medical device technology and discloses a method for multi-mode communication adaptive switching and remote control of a high-pressure injector. The system includes a master controller and a slave controller. The master controller is directly connected to the injector head and maintains a first hierarchical state machine. The slave controller maintains a corresponding second hierarchical state machine and only receives state synchronization data sent by the master controller. The method is executed by the master controller, including initializing its own and the slave controller's hierarchical state machines, acquiring state change data from the first hierarchical state machine and sending it unidirectionally to the slave controller. When communication is interrupted, it continues to operate independently and stores state change data. After communication is restored, the stored data is resent according to a preset priority order. When local manual operation is detected, the physical operation is performed first, and then the latest state is synchronized. This method can avoid misoperation caused by asynchrony between the master and slave devices, improve the reliability of remote control of the high-pressure injector, and reduce the operator's occupational radiation exposure risk.

The present application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and provides a guide assembly for a superior articular process approach of a lumbar vertebra and an operation method thereof. The guide assembly comprises a guide rail, a guide needle, a bone removal assembly and a working assembly. The guide rail is provided with a guide track. The guide needle is slidably arranged in the guide rail and is used to establish an initial positioning path to the intervertebral space. The initial positioning path is parallel to the guide track. The guide rail is adapted to move along the initial positioning path. The bone removal assembly is detachably connected to the guide rail to remove bone mass of the superior articular process approach and form a bone window. The working assembly comprises a working sleeve which is adapted to be connected to the guide rail to form a working channel after the bone removal assembly is removed. The guide needle establishes the initial positioning path to the intervertebral space to confirm the position of the guide rail, reduces the number of repeated verification and adjustment under fluoroscopy, and thus reduces the radiation exposure dose of the patient. The bone removal assembly and the working assembly connected to the guide rail can be performed according to the guide track, and the possibility of path loss is reduced.

Embodiments are directed to a method of treating acute radiation syndrome comprising administering to a subject following exposure to radiation a PIF peptide. Some embodiments describe a method of treating acute radiation syndrome following radiation exposure comprising transplanting bone marrow that has been exposed to a PIF peptide prior to transplantation into a subject. Other embodiments describe a method of increasing engraftment of a transplanted organ, tissue, or cell by pre-exposing the organ, tissue, or cell to a PIF peptide.

The present disclosure is for a dosimetry device which produces immediate readings of radiation levels that are easily discernible, do not require electronic components (e.g., digital readouts, batteries, etc.), and are not subjective. Instead of requiring such components or deciphering a change in color, the dosimetry device of the present disclosure identifies radiation exposure through an identifier that changes from an apparently colorless (i.e., clear, blank, non-existent) visual identifier to a visibly present identifier (as compared to a change in color) or via a change relative to a masking substrate or background.

This invention proposes a capsule to administer radiation to a patient to be mounted on an arm, preferably a robotic arm such as on and in coordination with a Da Vinci® Surgical Robot, in order to control radiation exposure using a cylindrical shell shutter system designed to minimize leakage from a centrally located radiation source, while permitting full exposure of irradiated subject material or space when the cylindrical shell shutter system is opened. Using a series of concentric cylindrical shells which each contain an offset conically-shaped aperture from that of an adjacent cylindrical shell, when the cylindrical shells rotate into an “open” position, the apertures form a smooth cone to an outer emission aperture and expose the radiation source to adjacent tissue. When rotated to be “closed” or “off, the offset apertures and shells occlude the source, preventing full-strength radiation exposure and minimizing radiation leakage.
