Three-dimensional (3D) printing technique has been improving the industrial process from uniform pipeline production procedure in manufacture into individualized production with distributed network. 3D printing technique also provokes these changes in the field of medicine, especially in orthopedics, stomatology and radiology. The role of 3D printing technique has been increasingly highlighted in tumor radiotherapy. Current studies and application mainly focus on personalized tissue compensato (bolus), brachytherapy (high-dose post-loading and particle implantation therapy), 3D printing personalized phantom and individualized fixtures, etc. In this article, research progresses on the application of 3D printing technique in radiotherapy at home and abroad were reviewed.

OBJECTIVE:To study the bacteria strains and susceptible drugs in open wound in patients with earthquake injury. METHODS:Bacteriological test and the drug susceptibility test were conducted for earthquake injury patients with open wound and the results of bacterial culture and the drug susceptibility test were analyzed using Excel 2003. RESULTS:Of the 1 172 earthquake injury cases,the patients with trauma / wounds represented 93.9%,the wound had obvious infection in 132 cases; of the infected cases,the proportions of patients with open fractures,soft tissue injuries and traumatic brain injury accounted for 63%,28% and 9%,respectively. The positive rate of the bacterial culture was 69%,and gram-negative of bacteria which accounted for 85.6% took the lead,chiefly Acinetobacter baumanii,Enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli. The results showed bacterial drug resistance was on the high side. CONCLUSION:The open wounds in patients with earthquake injury are likely to be infected with gram negative organisms. Debridement and correct choice of anti-infective drugs are needed to reduce the risk of wound infection,

Objective To construct the prokaryotic expression plasmid of human prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA),to induce the expression of GST-PSCA fusion protein in E. coli BL21,and to identify the purified recombinant fusion protein. Methods The fragment of PSCA gene was amplified by PCR,and then cloned into the pGEM-T Easy vector. The transitional plasmid Teasy-PSCA was identified by DNA sequencing. The PSCA gene was digested from the plasmid Teasy-PSCA by restrictive enzyme BamH I and Sal I,and then inserted into the pET42a vector which contains a glutathione s-transterase (GST) tag. Following the double restriction enzyme digestion,the recombinant plasmid pET42a-PSCA was obtained and transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). The expression of GST-PSCA fusion protein was induced with IPTG. The recombinant fusion protein was purified by passing over a Glutathione Sepharose 4B column,and was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Results The length of amplified PSCA gene fragment was consistent with that expected,and the sequence was correct as exemplified by the PSCA gene reported in GenBank. The result of enzyme digestion indicated that the prokaryotic expression plasmid pET42a-PSCA was successfully constructed. After transformation with pET42a-PSCA and induction with IPTG,the recombinant target protein of about 43kD was obtained. The GST-PSCA fusion protein was correctly identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Conclusions The prokaryotic expression plasmid of human PSCA gene has been successfully constructed. The GST-PSCA fusion protein may express and be purified in E. coli BL21,and it lays a foundation for further study on the anti-prostate cancer gene vaccine.

Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphism in methylenetetra-hydrofolate reductase (MTHFR ) and acute cerebral infarction (CI), observe the variation regular of fasting plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level.Methods Using Homocysteine Microplate STE Assay to examine the fasting plasma homocysteine level of 28 CI patients during their initial stage (flaring up between 1 to 3 days) and later stage (flaring up 10 to 15 days) of acute period and 27 healthy controls. The presence of the MTHFR genetic type was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and subsequent restriction enzyme digestion.Results There was no significant difference among the three MTHFR genotypes in distributed frequency of the CI group, normal controls and the 677 allelic gene (P>0.05). The discrepancy of Hcy level in various kinds of genotypes: heterozygote mutation and homozygoto mutation were much higher than wild type (P<0.01). Homozygoto mutation was higher than heterozygote mutation, but there was no significant difference between them (P>0.05). The high homocysteine of group CI during the acute early stage were found out more frequent than normal control (P<0.05). There was no significant difference of fasting plasma Hcy level between the initial stage and later stage of CI group which were in acute period (P>0.05), both of the Results were higher than normal control (P<0.01). There was no significant difference among the Hcy level of various genetypes in CI group during the initial stage and later stage of acute period (P<0.05).Conclusion MTHFR gene C677T mutation is one of the cause of high homocystinemia, while it dose not lead to CI directly. High Hcy level is the independent risk factor of CI, but has no concern to the course of acute CI.

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of Ibudilast on the quality of life (QOL) of patients with steroid resistant allergic rhinitis.METHODS A randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled study was carried out with Ibudilast in 66 patients with the steroid resistant allergic rhinitis.QOL was measured with Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire (Chinese version).Ibudilast (10rag twice daily,34 patients),placebo (32 patients) was given for 3 weeks. The SF-36 questionnaire was administered at the start of treatment and after 3 weeks of treatment.Sings and Symptom-medication scores were measured daily during the study.RESULTS There were no significant differences between the Ibudilast and placebo group in terms of sings and symptoms or QOL scores before study.After 3 weeks of treatment,symptoms scores were significantly decreased and QOL scores significantly improved in the Ibudilast group compared with those in placebo group (both P

BACKGROUND: Stellate ganglion block has the ability to improve the imbalance of the autonomic nervous system in perimenopausal syndrome. Lumbosacral plexus is an automatic nervous block, and exerts similar effects with stellate ganglion block. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of lumbosacral plexus block on the serum level of hormones and histology of the ovary in rabbits, thus providing a new treatment strategy for perimenopausal syndrome. METHODS: This was a randomized controlled animal experiment, which was finished at the Animal Center of Guiyang Medical Unversity, China. The healthy rabbits were randomly divided into experimental and control groups, and underwent lumbosacral plexus block by injecting 0.5 mg of vitamin B12, 100 mg of lidocaine and 10 mL of normal saline into the psoas compartment, and the same volume of normal saline, respectively. The effect of lumbosacral plexus block on the serum levels of hormones (estradiol, gonadotropin releasing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone) at rabbit proestrus, estrus and metaestrus were observed, respectively. The pathological changes of the ovary in a complete estrus cycle were observed. The relationship between the treatment time of lumbosacral plexus block and the levels of hormones was investigated after 1, 3 and 6 complete estrus cycles. The experimental followed the national guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, and Consensus author guidelines on animal ethics and welfare by the International Association for Veterinary Editors (IAVE), and prepared in accordance with the Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments Guidelines (ARRIVE Guidelines). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Lumbosacral plexus block can increase the serum level of estrogen, reduce the serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, and regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovary axis function. Presumably, it may be used as a treatment method or adjuvant therapy of perimenopausal syndrome. Future experiments are needed to explore the effect of lumbosacral plexus block on the serum levels of hormones in a rabbit after oophorectomy to determine whether it exhibits the same effect on ovarian failure.
