Methods Firstly, we determined the 27 facial characteristic indexes and standard of classiifcation. Secondly, we observed 254 positive photos of Chinese Han nationality adults. Finally, indexes and standard of classi-ifcation are evaluated through statistically analysising of observation data results and calculating personal identiifcation capability. Results Thirteen indexes gender differences are signiifcant. All 27 facial characteristic indexes are calculated. Male TDP(total discrimination power)=0.999 999 909 08, female TDP=0.999 999 919 82, overall TDP=0.999 999 868. Conclusion The more facial characteristic indexes and the more classiifcation and the higher degree of classiifcation, the higher personal identiifcation ability can be acquired.

Ginsenoside Rb3 (GRb3) is one of the main components in plasma of Panax quinquefolius Saponin of stem and leaf (PQS), which can be into human plasma. Previous studies have found PQS has estrogen-like vascular protective effects. In the present study, we investigated the estrogen-like protective effect of GRb3 on oxidative stress and dysfunction of endothelial cells induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein. The activities of SOD, NOS and the contents of MDA in the cell lysate were examined by enzyme method or spectrophotometry. The NO and ET-1 concentrations in the cell culture supernatant were measured by ELISA method. The iNOS and eNOS mRNA expression were measured by real time RT-PCR, while the phosphorylation levels of Akt was measured by Western blotting. The results showed that GRb3 could enhance the activity of SOD, reduce the content of MDA, increase the level of NOS, NO, ET-1 and iNOS mRNA expression while decrease the eNOS mRNA expression and the phosphorylation level of Akt. These effects were blocked by estrogen receptor antagonist ICI182780. GRb3 can play a role in protecting vascular endothelial cells by estrogen receptors, the protective mechanism is similar to 17-β estrodiol.

Objective The chief aim of the present work is to investigate features of sternum of Chinese adults and to establish the sex determination method to evaluate its effect based on 3D recombinant morphology indicators. Methods Based on chest spiral CT scans, 2D images of multi-level recombination and 3D model of volume rendering, the experiment concludes an sex determination equation from 8 measurement indicators of the sternum and 3 ratio indicators. The 8 measurement indicators include full-length, handle length, body length, maximum width of the handle, maximum width of the body, maximum thickness of the handle, maximum thickness of the body, and thickness of the upper body. Results According to the 11 indicators of sex differences in statistics (P<0.05), especially indicators of the full-length, body length, maximum width of the handle and maximum thickness of the body, the body's sex is easier to be determined. All indicators equations, length indicators discriminant equations and stepwise discriminant equations have higher reliable rate (88.6%) which was consistent with the recent foreign research reports. Conclusion The method of sex determination based on multislice spiral CT 3D recombinant techniques is practicable and has an relatively high accuracy. It is expected to be applied to researches in age estimation by sternum and other virtual bones.

As a biomaterial to be used for reparation in the case of trauma, the silk fibroin, particularly its effect on the transcription and expression of VEGF gene, is a concern. In this study, the ECV304 cell's growth shape and growth curve on the regenerated silk fibroin film were observed, and its VEGF secretion level was measured by ELISA test. It was found that the regenerated silk fibroin film did not interfere with ECV304 cell's growth and function. The L929 cell transfected with human VEGF gene grew on the regenerated silk fibroin film; the real-time quantitative RT-PCR method and ELISA test were used for detecting the transcription and expression of VEGF gene. The results showed the regenerated silk fibroin film did not interfere with the transcription and expression of VEGF gene. Therefore, the regenerated silk fibroin film is a safe biomaterial for inducing vascularization with no untoward effect on the reparation of trauma.

Objective:To explore the effects of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) combined with cognitive behavior intervention in the elderly coronary disease patients with hypertension.Methods:From May 2017 to May 2019, we selected 90 elderly coronary disease patients with hypertension in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University as subjects by convenience sampling. All of patients were divided into control group and observation group with the method of random number table, 45 cases in each group. Control group carried out cognitive behavior intervention, while observation group implemented the TENS combined with cognitive behavior intervention. We compared the angina pectoris symptom control, blood pressure control and the self-perceived burden with the Self-perceived Burden Scale (SPBS) of patients between two groups.Results:After intervention, the effective rate of angina pectoris control of observation group was higher than that of control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) ; the diastolic pressure and systolic pressure of observation group were lower than those of control group with statistical differences ( P<0.05) ; the score of SPBS of patients in control group was higher than that in control group also with a statistical difference ( P<0.001) . Conclusions:TENS combined with cognitive behavior intervention for elderly coronary disease patients with hypertension contributes to angina pectoris symptom control and reducing the blood pressure as well as self-perceived burden.
