The accurate location of acupoints is the prerequisite for the efficacy of acupuncture-moxibustion. Bone-length measurement, bone-proportional measurement, and proportional unit of the body measurement are commonly used in clinic for acupoints location. Based on the systematic review of the ancient literatures, this article discussed the meaning, evolution and relations of bone-length measurement, bone-proportional measurement, and proportional unit of the body measurement. It’s concluded that the bone-length measurement should be a benchmark in ancient anthropometry and an important basis for acupoints location. Bone proportional measurement, used in different genders, ages and body sizes, was based on the relatively stable proportional relations of various body parts, though some of the standards were adjusted in accordance with the correlation between meridians and acupoints. Location of points by proportional unit of the body simplified the application of bone-length measurement and bone proportional measurement, based on the ratio between short and long bones or the ratio of same body parts in anthropometry. However, proportional unit of the body measurement should be applied for the specific body parts. Bone-length measurement, bone-proportional measurement, and proportional unit of the body measurement are correspondingly the benchmark measurement, relative measurement, and simplified measurement.

Endemic dental fluorosis has been reported in some regions of the world. China seemed to have high prevalence of endemic dental fluorosis, especially in southwest China. It is now most likely that excessive fluoride intake during enamel development play a key role in the pathogenesis of dental fluorosis. However, excessive intake of fluoride-induced cellular and molecular mechanisms of dental fluorosis are not entirely conclusive. Scholars at home and abroad have made a lot of research on pathogenesis of enamel fluorosis by using various experimental techniques. More recent studies mainly suggest that endoplasmic reticulum stress and calcium overload-associated apoptotic pathway may participate in fluoride excess-evoked pathogenesis of dental fluorosis. Furthermore, the functional changes of enamel matrix protein and protease activity may be involved in the pathological event. This paper summarized the recent research progress on this topic.

BACKGROUND: The therapy of nonunion has been a difficult issue in orthopedics all the time. Part of nonunion can't heal even after many times of operations. The effects of non-surgical treatments are not satisfactory. Extracorporeal shock waves (ESW) is a new method that popular abroad in recent years.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ESW on nonunion, and preliminarily probe into its mechanism.DESIGN: Randomized group-division design, animal experiment.SETTING: Department of Orthopedics, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Medical Experimental Center of Animal, Wuhan University from September 1997 to March 1999. Forty healthy male rabbits were selected to establish model of nonunion. Thirty-two rabbits with hypertrophic nonunion were taken as materials and randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 16 rabbits in each group.METHODS: A multifunctional ESW apparatus of type HX902Ⅲ was adopted to treat the broken ends of nonunion in the treatment group with the energy, frequency, dose and focus range of 0.54 m J/mm2, 60 times/minute,2 000 times and 1.5 cm2 respectively. The second focus of shock wave was adjusted, aiming at corresponding parts in distal and proximal sites of nonunion, and acted 1 000 times. After that, rabbits were re-fixed with external apparatus and acted freely. Rabbits in the control group were fixed with external apparatus without any other treatments.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Examination of the healing of nonunion with radiograph, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and in histology.RESULTS: A total of 32 enrolled animals were involved in the analysis of results.①X-ray photograph: During the treatment with ESW, the gaps of nonunion were more and more indistinct in X-rays, and the densities of two sclerotic ends were reduced, and the sclerotic marrow cavities became unobstructed. The X-rays of nonunion-gaps before ESW were significantly narrowed than those after the treatment. At 6 weeks after the treatment,nonunion in 6 rabbits of the treatment group (6/14) healed, and that in 12 animals (12/12) healed on the 12th week. However, only the nonunion in one rabbit (1/12) healed in the control group on the 12th week. Test of fourfold-table exact probability demonstrated that the healing status of nonunion in the treatment group was better than the control group, and the differences were remarkable (P＜0.001).②Examination under light microscope: large quantity of osteoblasts and mesenchymal cells assembled and were active in proliferation on the 2nd week of treatment in the treatment group, and plentiful bone trabeculae formed on the 6th week, and the nonunion healed on the 12th week of treatment. However, there were chronic inflammation and few trabeculae in the control group. ③TEM examination: the osteoblasts in the treatment group proliferated on the 2nd week of treatment, and there were abundant chondrosomes in the intracytoplasm,which could secrete collagen fibers with periodical transverse lines. On the 6th week, large amount of bone lacunas formed. However, little visible cells could be seen in the control group, and osteoclasts were found in act.CONCLUSION: The effect of ESW on hypertrophic nonunion is satisfactory, which may become a reliable and non-invasive treatment of nonunion.

Objective: To investigate and predict the behavioral intention and mode of the protective equipment utilization selection of the workers who used Benzene, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was applied to establish the behavioral model to enhance the theoretical foundation for long-term intervention. Methods: Questionnaires were used to survey the 707 workers, and all the behaviors of using protective equipment were investigated. Evaluate the relationships between each variable and obtain the influence affects by structural equation model. Results: The investigation showed that 38.47% of the total workers (272 cases) used whole body protection, 13.58% used partially, and 16.69% didn't use any body protection. There were significant difference between the varying degrees in the four dimensions (behavioral attitude, perceived behavior control, subjective norm, and behavioral intention) (P<0.01) . The results of structural equation model revealed that perceived behavior control was the most important influencing factor, subjective norm, positive attitude, negative attitude were the other three respects in sequence. The path co-efficient were 0.600、0.215、0.141 and 0.046 respectively. Conclusion The study show that the theory of planned behavior can effectively explain the behavioral intention and behavior of protective equipment utilization. Therefore, combining the subjective initiative of individuals with the supervision of enterprises, In order to effectively enhance the protective equipment utilization of benzene workers.
