PurposeTo evaluate the feasibility and clinical values of CT scan with iterative reconstruction and low radiating dose in craniocerebral trauma.Material and Methods 120 patients suffered from craniocerebral trauma were randomly assigned. All the subjects underwent CT scan using route dose of filtered back projection (FBP) and low dose of iDose (? dose and ? dose), respectively. The quartering were used to subjectively evaluate noise of imaging, skull base artifact, contrast of gyrus-white matter and lesion display in each group. Imaging noise, signal and noise rate (SNR), contrast and noise rate (CNR) of gyrus-white matter and dose length product (DLP) were compared.Results The image quality of both? iDose and ? iDose groups were lower than that of FBP group, but still met the requirement of diagnosis. The image noise of both? iDose and ? iDose groups were higher than that of FBP group (P<0.05). The SNR and CNR of both? iDose and ? iDose groups were lower than those of FBP group (P<0.05). The DLP of both? iDose and ? iDose groups were lower than that of FBP group. There was statistical difference between iDose groups and FBP group (F=2751.46,P<0.05).Conclusion Application of iDose could effectively decrease radiation dose in craniocerebral trauma. Although iDose technique has higher noise level and lower SNR and CNR, the imaging qualities and capability of displaying abnormity meet diagnosis requirement. So that iDose has clinical significance.

Model informed precision dosing for warfarin is to provide individualized dosing by integrating information related to patient characteristics, disease status and pharmacokinetics /pharmacodynamics of warfarin, through mathematical modeling and simulation techniques based on the quantitative pharmacology. Compared with empirical dosing, it can improve the safety, effectiveness, economy, and adherence of pharmacotherapy of warfarin. This consensus report describes the commonly used modeling and simulation techniques for warfarin, their application in developing and adjusting dosing regimens, medication adherence and economy. Moreover, this consensus also elaborates the detailed procedures for the implementation in the warfarin pharmacy service pathway to facilitate the development and application of model informed precision dosing for warfarin.

Sus scrofa lysozyme (SSL) was digested by different proteases to find peptides with enhanced antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria. Hydrolysate with the highest anti-bacterial activity was loaded onto a gel filtration chromatography column followed by a reversed-phase one. The obtained substance was identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, synthesized to test its antibacterial spectrum and analyzed for bioinformatics. The hydrolysate of trypsin showed the highest antibacterial activity. By purification and identification, the functional peptide with sequence of A-W-V-A-W-K was obtained. The peptide was synthesized and proved to retain partial function of SSL and had activity against gram-negative bacteria. By bioinformatics analysis, the peptide was found to locate in a helix-loop-helix structure, suggesting that the peptide may kill cells by penetrating cell membrane and cause the outflow of cell contents. The discovery of the peptide could lay the foundation for improving the antibacterial activity of SSL.

Objective:To investigate the effect of flap combined with 3D printed microporous titanium(tantalum)prosthesis in the treatment of lower extremity soft tissue defect with large bone defect.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, 2 patients with large soft tissue defects on dorsal foot together with large metatarsal bone defect and 4 patients with soft tissue defects of calf with large tibial bone defect were treated. The areas of soft tissue defect were 5.0 cm×8.0 cm-15.0 cm×10.0 cm. The length of the bone defect were 3.8 cm to 7.0 cm, 5.75 cm in average. In the first stage, metatarsal bone defect or tibial bone defect was filled with vancomycin blended bone cement, meanwhile, soft tissue defect was repaired with anterolateral femoral flap(ALTF) with vascular anastomosis in 2 cases of feet, and local fascia flap was trans-positioned in 4 cases of lower extremity defects. The sizes of repairing flap were 6.0 cm×8.5 cm-16.0 cm×11.0 cm. Two to 7 months after the initial surgery, the customer designed microporous titanium prostheses were used(5 cases with microporous titanium and 1 with microporous tantalum) to repair the bone defects. The wound healing, the integration of metatarsal and tibial fractures with 3D printed microporous titanium(tantalum) prostheses, and the walking condition were observed after surgery. The follow-up lasted from 6 to 25 months, with an average of 12.7 months.Results:The wound healing in 5 patients was good. The patients stood on the foot in 2 months after surgery, started to walk with the assistance of crutch in 3 months after surgery, and took walk without assistance in 5-6 months after surgery. Good osseous integration were achieved. One diabetic patient had infection of foot wound 3 months after surgery. After removal of microporous titanium prosthesis and replacement of vancomycin blended interstitial substance of bone cement, the wound healed and the patient resumed walking.Conclusion:It is an effective method to encourage the patients to take early ambulation after the surgery for lower extremity soft tissue defect with large bone defect that was repaired by a flap and 3D printed microporous titanium(tantalum)prosthesis. Further observations are required to investigate the long-term efficacy, and the reduction of prosthesis infection rate requires further exploration.
