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.

High flow nasal cannula(HFNC)is a novel oxygen therapy developed in recent years,and has been successfully used in pediatric diseases such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia.Although there has been a lack of clinical application guidelines in pediatrics,it has been increasingly applied to the treatment of exacerbations of bronchial asthma.This review focused on efficacy,application timing,complications and parameters adjustment of HFNC in children with asthma exacerbation,so as to further guide the clinical use.

Objective:To investigate the current status of pertussis laboratory diagnosis and confirmed pertussis cases reporting in Shaanxi Province, and evaluate the quality of case reports.Methods:The information of confirmed pertussis cases reported in Shaanxi Province from January to July 2022 was collected through the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System. The laboratory diagnostic methods and pertussis vaccine immunization history of confirmed cases were investigated, and the descriptive epidemiological method was used for statistical description.Results:Of the 164 confirmed cases of pertussis reported from January to July 2022, two were not tested in the laboratory and 162 were tested in the laboratory. The proportions of different detection methods were 1.85% (3/162) of isolation and culture, 31.48% (51/162) of serum antibody IgG, 14.20% (23/162) of serum antibody IgM, 49.38% (80/162) of serum antibody PCR and 3.09% (5/162) of serum antibody IgM+ PCR. Among the 79 serological positive cases, 12 cases (15.19%)had no history of pertussis immunization, and 15 cases (18.99%), 11 cases (13.92%) and 41 cases (51.90%) had the time interval from vaccination to detection of <1 year, 1-3 years and >3 years, respectively. Based on the analysis of laboratory testing methods and vaccination history, 38 cases were misdiagnosed/misreported among 164 cases, with a misdiagnosis or misreported rate of 23.17%. There were 17, 12 and 9 cases of misdiagnosis/misreport in 0-2 years old group, 3-6 years old group and≥7 years old group, and the misdiagnosis or misreported rates were 27.42%(17/62), 26.67%(12/45) and 15.79%(9/57), respectively.Conclusions:The selection of pertussis laboratory testing methods in some medical institutions in Shaanxi Province is incorrect, which leads to a certain proportion of misdiagnosis or misreport, and it is necessary to further strengthen the training and standardization.
