In recent years,scientific reports say that ApoE genotypes not only influence lipid metabolism but also affect bone metabolism through vitamin K. Primary osteoporosis is mainly regulated by genes and the interaction of genes and environmental factors also affects primary osteoporosis. This review focused on the mechanism of the influence of ApoE gene on bone mineral density and interaction of ApoE gene and environment factors in the determination of primary osteoporosis.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the formulation parameters of poly1,3-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy) propane-sebacic acid (P(CPP∶SA)) microsphere and evaluate its drug release performance in vitro. METHODS: The paclitaxel microspheres were prepared by single emulsion method,and the effects of the factors such as the stirring speed (A),P(CPP∶SA) concentration (B),emulsifier polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentration (C) on encapsulation efficiency were evaluated by orthogonal test. The surface morphology of the prepared microsphere was observed and its drug release performance in vitro was evaluated. RESULTS: The optimal formulation of the microsphere obtained was as follows: A was 4 000 r?min-1,B was 80 mg?mL-1 and C was 1%,respectively. The morphology of microspheres was round and intact. The encapsulation efficiency of paclitaxel was up to above 90%. The sustained release duration was 30 days with an accumulative release rate of over 80%. CONCLUSION: Paclitaxel microspheres prepared by optimal formula display a high encapsulation efficiency and satisfactory sustained-release pattern.

Hospital Information System(HIS) contributes a lot to the management of the hospital with the personnel flow,the material flow,the fund flow and the information flow well-regulated.The construction of HIS has to be based on general scheme,and then the sub-systems are established separately,at last all sub-systems are integrated to form a system,that is HIS,to realize the modernization of the hospital management.

A case of mandible plasma cell myeloma is reported.Plasma cell myeloma is a monoclonal neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells of bone-marrow derivation,usually multi-centric but jaw bones are rarely involved.The treatment requires precise pathological diagno-sis.The prognosis of solitary jaw bone lesions can be good after treatment.

This study was aimed to investigate the functions and indications ofRehmannia glutinosa from old herbalism documents. The database management system ofPu-Ji-Fang was used to summarize the whole function, which was compared with theChinese Pharmacopoeia 2010 edition. The results showed that besides the same function,R. glutinosa was also widely used in the treatment of various heat syndromes, deficiency, sore ulcer, traumatism, irregular menstruation, arthralgia, blood stasis, apoplexia, cough, restlessness, and etc. With modern studies on pharmacodynamics and clinical applications, potential functions ofR. glutinosa were primarily conformed as clearing heat-fire (clearing heat-toxin), tonifying, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, soothing nerves, calming liver to extinguish wind, and removing wind-damp syndromes.

BACKGROUND:Biomaterial combined with stem cels is revealing a bright future in bone tissue regeneration in orthopedic surgery. Induced pluripotent stem cels have better cel sources and characteristic, which have become a hotspot of stem cel field. OBJECTIVE:To review the research history, preparation method, cel characteristics of induced pluripotent stem cels and the research developments in orthopeadic surgery so far. METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI and PubMed was performed for articles about induced pluripotent stem cels and their applications in the field of orthopeadic surgery published from 1999 to 2014. Typical and creative research achievements were enroled in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Studies have shown that induced pluripotent stem cels have a potential application prospect in bone tissue regeneration, and they also show a satisfying biocompatibility with various scaffold materials, in which, the induced pluripotent stem cels can maintain a good osteogenetic potential. Detection methods and smal-molecule compounds have been discovered gradualy for cartilage regeneration. But how to effectively induce the chondrogenic differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cels and to realize the clinical applications need further research.

Objective To investigate the CT features of ovarian cystadenofibroma(CFA)and to improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods The clinical data and CT images of 7 patients with ovarian CFA were retrospectively analyzed.All cases underwent non-enhanced and contrast-enhanced CT scan.Results Ovarian lesions were unilateral in 5 cases,bilateral in 2 cases and totally 9 lesions were found.6 lesions were cystic,2 lesions were mainly solid and 1 lesion was mixed components.The maximum diameter of lesions ranged from 4.7-21.5 cm with an average of 8.2 cm.Lesions had smooth margins,and solid portions had different size vesicles. Cyst walls or septa showed various degree of thickening with calcification in 1 lesion and mural nodules in 5 lesions,and a small vesicle was visualized in only 1 of the mural nodules.Cystic portions appeared as fluid density without enhancement.Solid portions,thickened cyst walls and septa appeared as slight enhancement or no enhancement.No regional lymph node metastasis was found,no ascites or peritoneal implants as well.Conclusion Ovarian CFA has some characteristic of CT findings that may improve clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
