Objective: To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of free transfer of Abductor hallucis muscle plus anastomosis of blood vessels and nerves for dynamic reanimation of the established facial paralysis. Methods: Twenty-eight patients who received the above-mentioned treatment during March 1999 to November 2006 were followed up. The follow-up period was 1 to 16 years, with a median period of 4 years. The facial pictures of frontal view were analyzed before and after operation. T-FGS and facial nerve function index (FNFI) were used to evaluate the facial nerve function before and after operation. Meanwhile, the survival of the graft, the width of the face, the scar, and the function of the foot were analyzed and compared. Results: All patients obtained satisfactory symmetric faces in static state and voluntary contraction of the transferred muscles. Twenty-two patients obtained ideal smiling faces. The T-FGS score increased by (27±7.2) points and the score of FNFI increased by (57± 10.7)% after transplantation (P<0.05). Furthermore, the scars on the face were well concealed and there was no functional impairment in the donor loots. Conclusion: Free transfer of abductor hallucis muscle plus anastomosis of blood vessels and nerves has satisfactory long term outcome in dynamic reanimation of established facial paralysis, without functional impairment to the donor foot and is worth of popularizing.

Objective: To investigate the cultural and psychological adaptation of business expatriates in the Chinese mainland. Methods: The questionnaires included sociocultural adaptation questionnaire and psychological adaptation questionnaire. Results: The construct of sociocultural adaptation could be divided into three dimensions: living conditions, interaction and communication, and cognition and value system. The sociocultural adaptation pattern showed a double-U-curve and the psychological adaptation pattern showed a decreasing tendency by time. There was no significant discrepancy in sociocultural adaptation across cultural distance. Conclusion: The cultural and psychological adaptation is difficult for business expatriates in China. The reasons perhaps include insufficient cultural training and improper training time.

Objective To explore the potential significance of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expressed in endoplasmic reticulum stress response also known as unfolded protein response ( UPR) .Methods Mouse embryonic fibroblasts ( MEFs) were isolated from 13 day mouse embryo , cultured and treated with tunicamycin for 16 hours to induce UPR .The untreated MEFs were used as negative control .The lncRNA expression profile was examined by a customized lncRNA array. The results of array assay were validated by real-time PCR and further analyzed by bioinformatics. Results There were 411 lncRNAs whose expression was signficantly up-regulated in MEFs treated with tunicamycin as compared with the controls ,while 790 lncRNAs were significantly down-regulated. A number of significantly alter lncRNAs were validated by real-time PCR. A further bioinformatics analysis of lncRNA profile suggested that many cold be in-volved in multiple cellular pathways. Conclusion Our lncRNA expression profile and bioinformatics studies srongly suggest that many lncRNAs can be regulated in the cells under UPR and could also in turn regulate UPR and other cellular processes.

Objective To establish a capillary gas chromatography method for the determination of trinitrotoluene (TNT) in workplace air.Methods Using dichloromethane as the eluent,the air was drawn through a glass fiber filter to collect TNT,TNT was extracted from the filter with dichloromethane by an ultrasonic shaker,and the sample was analyzed by OV-17 elastic quartz electron capture detector capillary gas chromatography.Results Under the optimal condition,the lowest detection limit was 0.006 ?g/ml,the lowest detection concentration was 0.001 3 mg/m~3 (based on 45 L air sample).When the concentration of standard solution was 0.040-2.0 ?g/ml,the linear equation was good,r=0.999 8,RSDs were between 0.66%-3.62%,the recovery rates were 90.4%-95.5%.When sample was collected by fiberglass filter paper,the efficiency of desorption was more than 90%,and was stable for at least 7 days at 2℃-8℃.Conclusion This method is applicable to the determination of trinitrotoluene in workplace air.

Objective Aimed at the problems that the costs of existing ECG data compression methods is high,and they are difficult to apply in engineering practice,a sort BP neural network is set up based on ECG data compression method.Methods Based on BP network theory,two three-layered feedforward neural networks were set up.Then every one heartbeat was divided into three waves,that is,P,QRS and T ones,and the three waves were compressed by two three-layered feedforward neural network individually.In order to improve the replay capability and interference rejection capability of the neural network compress algorithm,incompletely connected structure is employed.Results The method could realize high compress ratio,and improve the replay capability and interference rejection capability of the heartbeat waves.Conclusion Upon with the heartbeat signals,the method can filter and compress waves effectively,and can be used in engineering practice as well.

Dual source CT is a kind of 64 slices CT including two acquisition systems. It possesses such advantages as higher SNR of images,higher resolution of time,lower dose of radiation,bigger FOV of scanning,wider coverage of scanning and dual enrage subtraction imaging,etc. Weather these advantages could be brought into full play has great relationship with the preparations of dual source CT before its installation. The corresponding discussion is made in this text to see how to make preparations for dual source CT in different aspects such as room building,surrounding background,power supply,fire protection,radiation protection and periphery,etc.
