The article introduced the concept and principles of universal design and discusses the strategies of research and development of universal design products based on the principles. The universal design benefits not only elder people and persons with disabilities, but also benefits other people without disabilities and the manufacturers of such products. The principles of universal design should be integrated in related policies and blueprints of future development in order to provide "reasonable accommodation" with universal design products to the widest possible range of people.

ObjectiveTo study the method of testing abrasion resistance of axillary crutch tips. MethodsA test method based on pressure analysis in normal use of axillary crutches was suggested, which characterized: put 450 N on axis of the tip; the tip or text surface sway 60° for 500000 times in frequency of 40 /min; maximal abrasion thickness after test should be less than 3.3 mm. Experimental facilities were established to carry out fatigue test of wearability. ResultsThe test method suggested can reflect tips abrasion in real context. ConclusionThe text method can be used for tips abrasion and fatigue resistance adjustment.

Objective To explore the effects of tamoxifen on the proliferation of SHG-44 glioma cells and the currents of sodium channel. Methods The cell activity was detected by MTT. The alteration of cellular proliferation and apoptosis were dectected by flow cytometer. Whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record the Na currents.Results After treatment with tamoxifen,the cells began aging and shedding and cell counting decreased.The cells in G2/M cell cycle were more than that in control and the apoptosis ration increased. Tamoxifen significantly decreased the amplitude of Na currents of SHG-44 cell line.This blocking effect was dose-dependent and voltage-dependent.When the holding potential was 0 mV, 8 ?mol/L tamoxifen could block this currents by 69%.The half inhibition concentration(IC50) was 5.54 ?mol/L. Conclusion Tamoxifen can inhibit SHG-44 glioma cells proliferation.The inhibion of sodium channel may be one of its mechanisms.

Objective:To study influence study of near and long term survival rate on different resection regions for patients with gastric cancer in M region.Methods:110 patients with M region gastric cancer received treatment in our hospital were divided into observation group(with total gastrectomy) 57 cases and control group (with subtotal gastrectomy) 53 cases,compared with clinical pathology data and radical degree,two groups of patients' operation index,and local recurrence rate and near and long term survival rate in the two groups.Results:Two groups of patients were compared with clinical pathology data and radical degree,the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).The observation group's nearly cutting edge outside distance and lymph nodes were significantly higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The recurrence rate(3.51％) and recurrence rate (15.79％) of the observation group were significantly less than the control group of 16.98％ and 33.96％,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The 1 and 3 year survival rates of the observation group were compared with the control group,the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).But the 5 year survival rate of the observation group was 57.89％,which was significantly higher than that in the control group of 35.85％,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusions There is no significant difference in the survival rate of total gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer in M region and total gastrectomy,but the long-term survival rate is higher,it is worthy of clinical attention.

Objective To evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET in predicting the prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Methods Fifty-four cases of pancreatic cancer were divided into two groups. Taking standard uptake value(SUV) at 4 as the cut off point, patients (22 cases) with that not more than four were classified into group A, and those (32 cases) with SUV greater than four were into group B. The prognosis of patients by SUV was analyzed statistically. Results There was a statistically significant difference in survival between the two groups ( P =0. 01 ). The 1-,3-year survival rate was 68. 18% 、34. 91% in group A in those the SUV≤4, and 33.61% 、11.95% in group B( SUV ＞4), respectively. Cox proportional hazard model showed that tumor staging and SUV were the significantly independent prognostic factors in patients with pancreatic cancer. Conclusions 18F-FDG PET is of value in predicting the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer.

Objective To explore the anomalous effects of India buead and coix seed powder on phlegm-dampness constitution dyslipidemia through population-based intervention studies. Methods According to the experimental results of the model group with dyslipidemia, the phlegm-dampness population meeting the inclusion criteria were chosen as the samples for the randomized controlled trial, who were divided into test meal (21 males and 39 females) and blank control (23 males and 37 females) groups with 60 cases in each, aged 18 to 65 y and the total of 120 cases completed the study. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS 18.0 statistical software. The self comparison wass conducted by the method of paired-sample t test and the comparison between groups was conducted by using independent sample t test. The categorical statistics were described as frequency and compared throughc2 test, P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Without changing the original way of life, the meal group having taken the India buead and coix seed powder was compared independently and with the control group for TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C to detect the trends and degrees of the level changes. Meanwhile, according to efficacy tests and standards, the changes in the level of TC, TG and HDL-C have been evaluated and the efficiency and total effective rates of all the variables have been calculated. Results After the intervention, there was a declining tendency in each variable, 8.9%in TC, 21.4%in TG, and 27.2%in LDL-C, except for an increase of 0.13 mmol/L in HDL. There were significant differences in the variables before and after the intervention (P<0.05 in each). As for the test meal group after the intervention, the effectiveness of TC has been obtained in 25 cases and inefficacy in 35 cases, with efficiency of 41.7%;the effectiveness of TG has been shown in 53 cases and inefficacy in 7 cases, with efficiency of 88.3%;the effectiveness of HDL-C has been gained in26 cases and inefficacy in 34 cases, with efficiency of 43.3%; and the total effective rate was 57.8%. Conclusions There are significant changes and improvements in TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C in the test meal group after the intervention with the powder, which demonstrate that the powder is effective in the reduction of TG for animals with dyslipidemia and populations with phlegm-dampness constitution.

Objective: To study the effect of low fat diet on expression of protein kinase B (PKB) in adipose tissue of rats with insulin resistance. Method: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group ( C, n=10),given low fat diet; model group (M, n=20), given high fat diet. After 4 w, group M was randomly divided into 2 subgroups accepting diet intervention of 6 w.(1)High fat group (HF) was continually given high fat diet;(2)Low fat group (LF) accepted low fat diet. The expression of PKB stimulated by insulin in adipose tissue was determined with Western blotting at the end of the experiment. Results: (1) Group M showed hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinism, hypertriglyceride, hypercholesterolemia and elevated HOMA insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) while the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was obviously reduced compared to group C, indicating that the insulin resistant model was induced ; (2) Low fat diet treatment decreased FBG,TG,TC,which were accompanied by lower HOMA-IR and elevated ISI; (3) Because of long term high fat diet, expression of PKB in adipose tissue of group HF decreased by 23.5% (P
