Objective To report our self-designed guide module for placement of posterior column lag screws in anterior-posterior column acetabular plate using CT reconstruction data.Methods The CT scan data of 50 normal adult pelves were collected from February 2012 to April 2013,involving 30 males and 20 females with an average age of 46.4 years(range,from 25 to 69 years).The data were imported into Mimics 10.01 software for reconstruction of semi-pelvic models.Virtual cylindrical implants were placed intraosseously in both the left and the right posterior columns.The perpendicular distance (OP) from the insertion point O of the virtual cylindrical implant to the arcuate margin (P) and the distance (PI) from the point P to the point I,the crosspoint of the extension line of the ischial ramus and the arcuate margin were measured respectively.The angle (∠φ) between the direction of screws and the plane of guide module and the angle (∠θ) between the direction of screws and the long axis of guide module were also measured respectively.Results The average length of PI was 0.98 ± 0.13 cm,with 1.08 ± 0.22 cm in females and 0.95 ± 0.27 cm in males.The difference between genders was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).The average length of OP was 1.09 ± 0.26 cm,with 1.06 ± 0.29 cm in females and 1.12 ± 0.24 cm in males.The gender difference was not statistically significant either (P ＞ 0.05).The mean value of ∠ φ was 55.43° ± 3.64°,with 55.33° ± 4.00° in females and 55.50° ±3.43° in males.The difference between genders was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).The ∠θ value in females was 39.21 ° ± 2.45° and 35.58° ± 2.31 ° in males.The gender difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions In design of the guide module,the nail holes should be located about 1 cm away from both the posterior edge and the medial edge,the angle between the screw direction and the module plane should be approximately 39° in females and 35° in males,and the angle between the screw direction and the long axis of the module approximately 55°.

Objective To study the human papilloma virus(HPV) infection in lesion tissues of patients with common anus and rectal disease .Methods Gene amplification combined with gene chip technology were employed to conduct genotyping test in lesion tissue of 566 patients with common anus and rectal disease .Results In lesion tissues of 566 patients with common anus and rectal disease ,the overall HPV infection rate was 32 .86% (186/566) .In male patients ,the overall HPV infection rate ,monopole infection rate and multiple infection rate were 32 .14% (117/364) ,23 .35% (85/364) and 8 .79% (32/364) ,respectively ,which showed no sta-tistically significant difference with female [34 .16% (69/202) ,24 .75% (50/202) and 9 .41% (19/202) ,respectively ] (P>0 .05) . HPV 18 ,16 ,33 ,31 types were the main types of common anus and rectal disease .Conclusion HPV genotyping test of anus and rectum tissues is important for molecular epidemiological studies of HPV infection in anus and rectum .

Objective:Autoimmune mechanisms, including cellular and humoral immune, are likely to participate in the pathogenesis of at least a subgroup of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy(IDC), in which cellular immune-mediated one plays a more important role. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4(CTLA-4) is the major negative regulatory factor of cellular immunity. This study was conducted to investigate the association of CTLA-4 gene promoter -318C/T polymorphism, exon 1 A/G polymorphism and 3′ untranslated region microsatellite polymorphism with susceptibility to IDC in Han Chinese.Methods:Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms(PCR-RFLP) techniques were used to analyze the polymorphisms of CTLA-4 promoter -318, exon 1 A/G and 3′ untranslated region in the unrelated Han ethnic population in Heilongjiang Province(including 72 IDC patients and 100 normal controls). Serum sCTLA-4 was tested by ELISA. The relationship of CTLA-4 genotype and alleles frequencies with sCTLA-4 was evaluated by linear regression analysis.Results:Compared with controls, the frequencies of GG genotype(0.604 2 and 0.739 6, P=0.012) and the G allele(0.360 0 and 0.560 0, P=0.008) were significantly increased in patients with IDC. Increased serum sCTLA-4 was found in the IDC group compared with the controls[(1.87?1.06)?g/L vs (0.54?0.19)?g/L, P
