We observed the effect of vibration parameters on lumbar spine under different vibration conditions using finite element analysis method in our laboratory. In this study, the CT-images of L1-L5 segments were obtained. All images were used to develop 3D geometrical model using the Mimics10. 01 (Materialise, Belgium). Then it was modified using Geomagic Studio12. 0 (Raindrop Geomagic Inc. USA). Finite element (FE) mesh model was generated by Hypermesh11. 0 (Altair Engineering, Inc. USA) and Abaqus. Abaqus was used to calculate the stress distribution of L1-L5 under different vibration conditions. It was found that in a vibration cycle, tensile stress was occurred on lumbar vertebra mainly. Stress distributed evenly and stress concentration occurred on the left rear side of the upper endplate. The stress had no obvious changes under different frequencies, but the stress was higher when amplitude was greater. In conclusion, frequency and amplitude parameters have little effect on the stress distribution in vertebra. The stress magnitude is positively correlated with the amplitude.

Objective To investigate the change in quality of life (QoL) following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for T2DM with obesity.Methods A total of 46 overweight T2DM cases (mean baseline BMI (32.7 ± 3.9) kg/m2) undergoing LRYGB were followed by QoL questionnaires (SF-36) before and after 6 and 12 months.Results The preoperative physical QoL scales (physical component summary,PCS) was significantly different from the general population(GP) scales (P ＜ 0.01),and the improvement in QoL was significant at 6 months postoperative and continued to consistently increase up to 12 months (P ＜ 0.01).For mental component summary (MCS),the preoperative scales was not significantly different from the GP scales,however,the 6 and 12 postoperative scales improved significantly (P ＜0.01).As for physical function,role physical,role emotion,the 6 (78 ± 8,76 ± 17,70 ± 23) and 12 months' (85 ± 7,82 ± 18,77 ± 18) postoperative scales were markedly higher than those in the preoperative controls (P ＜ 0.01),and there were no differences between the 12 month's postoperative scales and GP scales.The preoperative bodily pain,general health and social function (66 ± 14,55 ± 12,63 ±15) was different when compared with (76 ± 12,75 ±6,75 ± 13) at 6 months and (82 ±9,79 ±6,94 ±9) at 12 months (P ＜0.01).The preopertive mental health (71 ± 12) was not significantly different from GP scales,nor there were significant difference when compared with (71 ± 10) at 6 months and (73 ±8) at 12 months.Conclusions There were improvements in physical and mental QoL in T2DM patients with obesity after LRYGB.

Objective To investigate the strategy to improve successful treatment for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods The study period was divided into from 1992 to 2000, and from 2001 to 2009.The patients during these two phases were comparable as regard to sex and age. Results The proportion of patients received anti-inflammatory medications from 2001 to 2009 was 88.7% (94/106), medications which can improve the pancreatic microcirculation were used in 93.4% (99/106), early enteral nutrition was used in 58.5% (62/106), medications which can protect intestinal barrier function were used in 98.1% ( 104/106),all these parameters were significantly higher than those (22.4%, 19/85; 43.5%, 37/85; 29.4%, 25/85;17.7%,15/85) from 1992 to 2000. Also from 1992 to 2000, more patients underwent operation such as basin-shaped open drainage, pancreatic necrosis debridement. While more patients underwent operation such as laparoscopic drainage, CT or B-ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage from 2001 to 2009. The proportion of patients underwent surgical treatment decreased from 56.5% (48/85) to 32. 1%(34/106); the survival rate increased from 68.8% to 84.0%. Conclusions The research progress of medications was the foundation to improve successful treatment for SAP. Operation was an important option during SAP therapy. The individualized treatment was beneficial to improve successful treatment for SAP.

Objective To compare the treatment effects of gastric bypass (GBP) and biliopancrtic diversion (BPD) in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus rats,and investigate the mechanism.Methods Forty GK rats with diabetes mellitus were randomly allocated into four groups:GBP group; BPD group; food restriction group ( FR group) and control group with 10 rats in each group.Rats in GBP group and BPD group received GBP and BPD procedures respectively.Rats in FR group were fed with basic feed of 15 g and free access to water.There was no food restriction in rats in control group.The operation time,mortality was recorded.The fasting body weight was measured every week.The plasma glucose,insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1),and leptin concentrations,were measured before treatment and 1,2,3,4,8,16 week after treatment.Results The mean operation time was (25 ± 4) min in GBP group and (35 ± 6) min in BPD group; one rat died in GBP group and 3 rats died in BPD group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01 ).The levels of plasma glucose,IGF-1 and leptin were not statistically significant among these groups before treatment.There was no significant difference in plasma glucose and leptin concentrations in the control group.The levels of plasma glucose and leptin in rats in FR group began to decrease 2 weeks later,at the 4th week,the levels of plasma glucose and leptin was significantly lower than that before treatment,and it lasted for the 16 th week,but the level of IGF-1 were significantly different.The levels of plasma glucose and leptin in rats in GBP group and BPD group began to decrease and IGF-1 began to increase 2 weeks after operation,and it lasted for the 16th week,[plasma glucose:(6.8 ± 1.0),(6.3 ± 0.8 ) mmol/L vs.(13.9±2.6),(14.1 ±2.6)mmol/L; leptin:(16.1±3.3),(17.2±3.2)pg/ml vs.(29.4±3.9)pg/ml,(29.4±3.9); IGF-1:(166.1±8.3),(142.2±8.2)ng/L vs.(119.4±8.8),(109.8±7.9)ng/L,P＜0.01],but the levels of plasma glucose and leptin was not statistically different between the two groups.The level of IGF-1 in GBP group was significantly higher than that in BPD group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Both GBP and BPD can effectively control plasma glucose concentration for rats with diabetes.The possible mechanism is related to decreased leptin and increased IGF-1.Group GBP had a better outcome in operation time,mortality and increasing IGF-1 than those in group BPD.

Objective To observe the impact of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on bowel habits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 70 cases of T2DM undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were studied.Changes in bowel habits, frequency and odor of flatulence, and social life were estimated at least 6 months after surgery using a self-administered questionnaire.Results 67.1%of the patients had normal bowel habit, 68.6%of patients maintained normal flatus before undergoing surgery, and visual ana-logue scale reveals bowel and flatus habit would cause little trouble on daily life.47.1% of patients maintained their normal bowel habit, and 45.7%of patients had loose stools and diarrhea after surgery.The number of pa-tients with loose stools significantly increased(28/70, 40% after surgery vs 5/70, 7.1% before surgery), with statistical difference( P<0.001) .42.9%patients believed that eating high-fat diet was related with loose stools (P<0.001).Patients with constipation decreased significantly after surgery(5/70, 7.1% vs the preoperative 16/70, 22.9%), with statistical difference(P=0.016).Visual analogue scale showed that 57.1% of patients thought their daily life and social activities were not affected(P=0.05).50%of patients considered an increase flatus, and 55.7%had malodorous flatus, which had statistical significance compared with those before surgery ( P<0.001) .A visual analogue scale showed that 60%of patients thought that this change would not affect their daily life and social activities( P=0.212) .Conclusions After laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, some patients had loose stod, diarrhea, increased flatus and and offensive odor, but after proper treatment these changes do not affect their daily life and social activities.

Objective To investigate the relationships between axillary lymph node metastasis and clinicopathologic features in the patients with cT1-2 N0 breast cancer and clarify the law of axillary lymph node metastasis,and to find the risk factor,and provide the theoretical basis for individuation therapy.Methods 687 patients with cT1-2 N0 breast cancer were divided into negative group and positive group according to the pathological results of axillary lymph node,and the clinicopathologic features were layered.The risk factors of axillary lymph node metastasis were screened out by Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis.Results In 687 cases of cT1-2 N0 breast cancer,156 (22.7%)cases were observed with axillary lymph node metastasis. The age,cT stage,pT stage, pathological type,vascular invasion,perineural invasion estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR), and molecular subtyping were the factors that influenced axillary lymph node metastasis in univariate analyses.The age < 35 years, cT2 , invasive ductal carcinoma, vascular invasion positive and Luminal subtyping were the independent risk factors of axillary lymph nodes metastasis in multivariate analyses (r = 3.440,P = 0.010;r =1.770,P =0.007;r = 3.397,P = 0.001;r = 7.434,P = 0.000;r = 2.212,P = 0.015).Conclusion In the patients with cT1-2 N0 breast cancer,the age,cT,pathological type,vascular invasion and molecular subtyping are important predictors of axillary lymph node metastasis and vascular invasion was the most important predictor.The preoperative comprehensive analysis and evaluation of clinical data and preoperative pathological results obtained will help to select the right surgical operation.

OBJECTIVETo explore whether fractional anisotropy (FA) value could be taken as a quantitative indicator for tracing and reexamining amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and to analyze the correlation between FA value and integrative medical treatment.

METHODSTotally 18 ALS patients were recruited in this study. All patients received diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) using 3. OT (Propeller HD) MRI twice. Six regions of interest (ROI) were selected to measure FA values. Survival analyses were performed in 11 cases of end point events.

RESULTS(1) Three ROI (cerebral peduncle, posterior limb of internal capsule, and corona radiata) all indicated that FA value was the highest in patients with mild health status scale of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS/HSS). (2) There was statistical difference in the means of FA values in cerebral peduncle, posterior limb of internal capsule, and corona radiata of 18 cases between initial examination and reexamination (P < 0.01). (3) Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed the survival rate of ALS patients decreased as time went by, with the median survival time of 48 months.

CONCLUSIONSFA value was inversely proportional to the severity of ALS, the more severe, the lower FA values. FA value was an objective indicator for assessing the severity of ALS. ALS is an incurable disease till now. Integrative medical treatment might become one direction for ALS patients.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the possible gene mutation and its different sites that leads to hearing loss in a consanguineous marriage pedigree. METHOD: Blood samples from a Changchun pedigree were obtained with informed consent. Their genomic DNA were extracted from peripheral blood and PCR was performed. Nine of hot spot mutations in four most common deafness pathologic gene were detected with the DNA microarray, including GJB2, GJB3, PDS and mtDNA 12S RNA gene. At the same time, the results were confirmed with the traditional methods of sequencing. RESULT: GJB2 gene of 235 delC and 299-300 delAT compound heterozygous mutation was found in propositus. His father was 299-300 delAT homozygous mutation and mother was 235 delC homozygous mutation. In the relatives on the paternal side, the affected patients all were 299-300 delAT homozygous mutation and normal hearing member was 299-300 delAT heterozygous carrier. This GJB2 mutation come from grandparents of consanguineous marriage. CONCLUSION GJB2 gene mutation played on an important role in this deafness family. It is essential approach for genetic diagnosis of non - syndromic sensorineural hearing loss.
