Objective To study the inlfuence of the allicin on abnormal crypt focus(ACF). in Wister rat model. Methods 60 Wister rats were subcutaneous injected by dimethylhydrazine (DMH), according to 20 mg/kg weight, once a week, feeding 18 weeks continuously. All of the rats were randomly divided into allicin group and non-allicin group, each group was divided into three groups evenly, and put to death at 8, 16 and 24 weeks after medication separately. Large intestines were observed after dyeing. Results Large intestines were divided into ten equally, and all pieces were observed. ACF were almostly distributed in the middle and distal of the large intestines, about in 50%-80%.The basic situation of non-allicin group was as follows:ACF at 8 weeks was 63.97±1.22 on average per each, 16 weeks was 83.97±1.13, 24 weeks was 69.33±2.01. The basic situation of allicin group:ACF at 8 weeks was 9.4±1.12 on average per each , 16 weeks was 7.17±1.33, 24 weeks was 4.97±1.23.The occurrence of ACF in non-allicin group was higher than allicin group, the differences of incidence rate and number of ACF between two groups was significant (χ2=15.88,P<0.01).Conclusion Allicin can significantly reduce the number of ACF in Wister rats, lower the incidence of colorectal cancer, has prevention effect.

BACKGROUND:Bilateral-sagitta-split-ramus-osteotomy (BSSRO) has become a conventional method to correct facial deformities, and the finite element method is a significant way to study biomechanics of the mandible and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) after BSSRO. OBJECTIVE: To establish a precise and high simulation model of mandible containing TMJ after BSSRO with internal fixation, which is the base to study the biomechanics of the mandible and TMJ after BSSRO. METHODS: Spiral CT scan was used to get the data of DICOM that were input into MIMICS to establish the three-dimensional model of the mandible. The three-dimensional model was wrapped into a single closed shel for mesh generation and conversion in ANSYS. Then, the model was input into the ANSYS software for temporomandibular joint reconstruction and simulation of BSSRO and internal fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The three-dimensional finite element model of mandible containing TMJ after BSSRO was established using MIMICS and ANSYS. This model had biological similarity and geometric similarity in comparison with the human tissues. The model could undergo various internal fixations through antedisplacement, retroposition and rotational movement of the distal end. Based on different experimental purposes, the established model can apply a load to al parts to study changes in stress and displacement of different tissues after BSSRO and internal fixation, and it also can be used to study the effect of different fixation materials on the rear stability after internal fixation.

【Objective】 To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pertussis in Shaanxi Province from 2012 to 2021. 【Methods】 We collected the information of pertussis cases in Shaanxi Province from 2012 to 2021 by the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System for analyzing the incidence and distribution characteristics. 【Results】 From 2012 to 2021, a total of 8270 cases of pertussis were reported in Shaanxi Province, with the incidence ranging from 0.21 to 6.20 per 100 000 persons, and for an annual average incidence of 2.17 per 100 000 persons. 44.81% (3 706/8 270) occurred from June to September. The annual average incidence in southern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and northern Shaanxi was 1.78, 2.47, and 1.46 per 100 000 persons (χ²=289.638, P<0.001). The number of patients (proportions) with pertussis aged 0-1, 1-5, 5-10, and ≥10 years was 3 884 (46.96%), 2 869 (34.69%), 1 408 (17.03%), and 109 (1.32%), respectively. The number of patients (proportion) ≤ 2 months old, 3-5 months old, and ≥ 6 months old was 884 (22.76%),1 608 (41.40%), and 1 392 (35.84%) among pertussis patients under 1 year old. 【Conclusion】 The incidence of pertussis in Shaanxi Province basically showed an increasing trend with higher rates between June and September, higher rates in Guanzhong region of the province, and more patients over 5 years old.
