The nose has a three-dimensional structure located in the centre of the face, and plays an important role in the facial aesthetics. The anatomical structure of the nose, especially the three components-nasal cartilages, muscles, and ligaments are spatially connected, which interact with each other, affecting the size, position, shape, and function of the nasal tip. The author attempts to review the literature on the spatial arrangement and relationship between the nasal cartilage, muscle, and ligament from the anatomical and functional perspective, and summarize their effects on the position, shape, and function of the nasal tip. The purpose is to explore how to bionically adjust and transplant the spatial arrangement of the cartilage, ligament and other subunit structures of the nasal tip without affecting the inherent structure and function of the nose, and to seek the theoretical basis for the establishment of the nasal tip shaping technology in line with the anatomical and physiological functions.

Objective The kinetic house tree person test has many advantages compare to traditional psychometrics,but also some limits such as scoring subjectively and ambiguous.This research attempted to develop a reliable scoring system.That can distinguish college students with emotional disorder from normal college students by employing kinetic house tree person (KHTP) drawings.Methods 143 College students were invited to partake in the research KHTP drawings,the Beck Depression Inventory Ⅱ (BDI-Ⅱ),the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered to the subjects.Undergraduates with a BDI score of ≥ 14 or a BAI score of ≥8 were classified as the clinical group,while those with a BDI-Ⅱ and a BAI score are minimal were classified as the controis.The researcher and an expert studied and analyzed the KHTP drawings Manual,filtrate 35 indicators correlate to emotional disorder,and then researcher make standard for evaluation of every indicator.The standard for evaluation were then revised by the researcher and another rater then finalized by the expert.Results The results showed that 35 indicators correlate to emotional disorder were found,and there were significant differences in facial expressions (x2 =19.109,P＜0.01) and actions (x2 =13.341,P＜ 0.01) between clinical group and normal group.The Pearson coefficient of concordance showed that the inter-rater reliability and inner-rater reliability was consistent(r=0.932,r=0.913,P＜0.01).The t-test was employed to verify the discriminant validity between the clinical and control groups.The result showed that a significant discriminant validity was found with the scoring system developed in this research(t=14.890,P＜0.01).Conclusion The scoring system developed from this study has good inter-rater reliability,inner-rater reliability and discriminant validity.

Langerhans-cell histiocytosis (LCH), the most common histiocytic disorder, is a reactive clonal proliferation and accumulation of CD1a+ / CD207+ dendritic cells in inflammatory lesion, characterized by its strong heterogeneity and changeable complexity including apparent inflammation and tumor features, which should be redefined as an inflammatory myeloid neoplasia. Recent research has shown that LCH is the consequence of misguided myeloid differentiation on account of genomic aberrances in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway. These gene inhibitors may present more curative effects for the treatment of LCH. With further prospective clinical trial, molecular targeted therapy may combine with or even replace the traditional surgery plus chemotherapy as the first-line regimen in LCH.

Older people generally had low health literacy, age related cognition decline and some even progress into dementia, burden on society was aggravating. Cognition decline of the elderly could lead to the decrease of health literacy. Meanwhile, higher level of health literacy was a protective factor against cognition decline in the elderly. This paper aimed to explore the relationship between health literacy and cognitive function in the elderly population without dementia, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving the health literacy and cognitive function of the elderly.

Objective To evaluate the influence of brachytherapy with 125Ⅰ seeds on celiac ganglia in porcine models. Methods Twelve pigs were randomly assigned into 3 groups to accept celiac plexus block by bilateral injection with 2 non-radioactive seeds in group A (n = 4), 0.4 mCi seeds in Group B (n = 4) and 0.8 mCi seeds in Group C (n = 4), respectively. Prophylactic antibiotics were administered postoperatively. Enhanced CT and three-dimensional reconstruction of blood vessels were performed to confirm the proper placement of the seeds. The animals were sacrificed 14 days and 60 days after the procedure, and TUNEL assay was employed to study neuron apoptosis in ediac ganglia. Results The procedure was succossfully performed in,10 pigs(83.3%)and failed in two others. The rescue procedure was performed on the day after and succeeded in both pigs. Apoptosis of neurons significantly increased in brachytherapy groups than in the control group and it was positively correlated with dose and time of radiation. Conclusion Brachytherapy can cause apoptosis of neurons of celiac ganglion, which could be the basis of its clinical application.

ObjectiveTo assess the safety of celiac plexus brachytherapy with 125Ⅰseeds placementguided by endoscopic ultrasound in porcine model, and to evaluate its effect on surrounding vessels and organs.MethodsFourteen pigs were randomly divided into 4 groups to accept celiac plexus block by bilateral injection with 2 non-radioactive seeds in group A (n=4),0.4 mCi seeds in Group B (n=4),0.8 mCi seeds in Group C (n=4) and one lateral injection with 5 ml dehydrated alcohol,respectively.Abdominal X-ray,Enhanced CT and three-dimensional reconstruction of blood vessels were performed to confirm the proper placement of the seeds in group A,B and C.Routine blood test,liver and renal function,serum amylase and CD4+/CD8+ratio were examined preoperatively and at the end of the follow-up in all groups.Animals were euthanized in batch to observe the position of the implanted seeds.Tissues and organs around the seeds were dissected for pathological examination.ResultsThe procedure succeeded in 12 pigs (85.7%)and failed in two others (1 in group A,and 1 in C) due to inappropriate position.Rescue procedures were performed on another day and succeeded.No significant difference was found in routine blood test,liver and renal func-tion,serum amylase and CD4+/CD8+ratio,except WBC elevation and small abcesses were found 7 days after the procedure in one pig of group C.In the radiated area, there was degeneration,necrosis and mild in-flammation at the outer membrane of blood vessels,with fibrosis around,which was positively correlated with the radiation dosage and duration.There was no change at the muscular layer and the innermost membrane of blood vessels,and no thrombosis was found.In group D,the celiac trunk became slightly brown and wider with obvious hemorrhage,necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the outer membrane of blood vessles and connective tissues around.ConclusionBrachytherapy has little negative effect on the organs a-round. It does not harm immunnity but induces lesions in blood vessels. Compared with dehydrated alcohol,this negative effect is limited.Therefore,celiac plexus brachytherapy with125Ⅰseeds guided by endoscopic ultrasound is safe.

Objective To investigate the features of PET-CT manifestation of pancreatic metastasis,and to improve its detection rate.Methods The PET-CT images of 31 cases of clinically diagnosed pancreatic metastases and 26 cases of primary pancreatic cancer were retrospectively evaluated.Two experienced specialists identified the lesion location in fused images.After frame by frame image analysis,the lesions with significantly increased radioactivity uptake were seen as positive,when compared with surrounding normal pancreatic tissue.The outline of regions of interest was drawn along the edge of the lesion shown in PET,and based on a semi-quantitative evaluation,the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) was calculated.If SUVmax ＞ 2.5,it was considered as positive.Results Among the 31 cases with pancreatic metastasis,22 cases of lung cancer,2 cases of gastric cancer 2 cases of colon carcinoma,1 case of maxillary sinus carcinoma,thyroid carcinoma,melanoma,renal cell carcinoma or gallbladder carcinoma were identified.Twenty-one cases (67.7％) were single,10 cases (32.3％) were multiple or diffuse lesions.Among the single lesions,7 (33.3％) were located in the pancreatic head and neck,14 in pancreatic body and tail.Among the 26 cases of primary pancreatic carcinoma,18 cases (69.2％) were located in the pancreatic head,8(30.8％) in the pancreatic body and tail.The sites of primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer were significantly different (x2 =6.012,P =0.014).CT scan showed only 17 nodular lesions with relatively low density and less clear boundary.PET images showed lesions in 31 cases of metastatic pancreatic cancer,and the mean SUVmax was 7.42 ± 3.48,which was significantly higher than that in primary pancreatic cancer group (5.39 ± 1.71,F =4.87,P =0.032).In addition,PET-CT identified 30 cases of other organs or lymph node metastasis.Conclusions PET-CT plays an important role in the diagnosis of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
