In order to check the neck response and injury during motor vehicle accidents, we developed a detailed finite element model for human cervical spine C4-C6. This model consisted of cortical bone, cancellous bone, annulus, nucleus, ligaments and articular facet, and it also set up contact in the contacting parts for simulating the movement perfectly under frontal impact. This model could be used for stress and strain distribution after the frontal impact load was applied on this model. During the process of frontal impact, the most displacement simulated data were in the interval range of experimental data. The experimental results showed that this model for the human cervical spine C4-C6 simulated the movement under the frontal impact with fidelity, and reflected the impact dynamics response on the whole.

Objective To investigate the value of dynamic transperineal ultrasound in women with chronic proctalgia.Methods A prospective study was described.Women met the diagnostic criteria of chronic proctalgia were included.Patients were submitted to dynamic transperineal ultrasound.Bladder neck descent(BND),retrovesical angle(RVA),anorectal angle,rectocele and other indicators were observed at rest and during maximal Valsalva.Results A total of 33 patients with chronic proctalgia were included.BND was 1.1-27.5 (13.21 ± 7.77)mm,4 of which were more than 25 mm.The RVA were greater than 140 ° in 8 patients during Valsalva maneuver.Six cases were diagnosed with cystourethrocele and 5 cases were diagnosed with isolated cystocele.Anorectal angles were 82.6-134.0 (113.12 ± 10.95) ° at rest and 77.6-123.0 (110.10 ± 13.28) ° during Valsalva respectively,there was no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Fourteen cases were found rectocele with the depth 1.2-1.7 (1.38 ±-0.17)cm;14 cases were found rectal intussusceptions,7 of which were associated with rectocele,2 of which were associated with rectocele and enterocele.Conclusions Dynamic transperineal ultrasound can show the whole pelvic floor anatomy in female patients with chronic proctalgia to evaluate the pelvic floor function and detect other functional disorders.

Objective To investigate the value of the three-dimensional endorectal ultrasonography (3D-ERUS) in the tumor staging before transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM).Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with rectal cancer who underwent 3D-ERUS before TEM at the Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2012 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of the 3D-ERUS were evaluated according to the results of the postoperative pathological examination.The consistency of the results of the 3D-ERUS and postoperative pathological examination were compared by Kappa consistency test.Results Of 30 patients,25 patients in stage T0,3 in stage T1 and 2 in stage T2 were diagnosed by preoperative 3D-ERUS.There were 2 patients (stage pT0) with inflammatory polyp by postoperative pathological diagnosis,6 patients (stage pT0) with tubular adenoma,16 patients (stage pT0) with villioustublar adenoma,2 patients (stage pTis) with carcinoma in situ,2 patients (stage pT1) with tectal adenoma and 2 patients (stage pT2) with rectal adenoma.There were 2 patients with excessive tumor staging by 3D-ERUS,1 patient in stage pT0 was misdiagnosed in stage T1,1 in stage pT1 was misdiagnosed in stage T2 and 1 in stage pT2 was misdiagnosed in stage T1 with insufficient tumor staging.The accuracy of 3D-ERUS in the preoperative tumors staging of TEM was 90.0％ compared with the resuls of postoperative pathological examination.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of 3D-ERUS in stage pT0,pTl,and pT2 of TEM were 96.7％,90.0％,93.3％ and 96.2％,50.0％,50.0％ and 100.0％,92.8％,96.4％,respectively.There was a significant difference in the consistency between preoperative 3D-ERUS and postoperative pathological examination (κ =0.685,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 3D-ERUS is an accurate clinical method in the preoperative tumors staging of TEM,and can be used as the preoperative assessment for TEM.

Objective To evaluate the agreement between dynamic transperineal ultrasound (DTP-US)and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging defecography (DMRD) in the diagnosis of rectocele,and to compare the correlation and difference between the depth of rectocele measured by DTP-US and DMRD.Methods The clinical data of 18 female patients with rectocele who were admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from September 2011 to May 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients received examination via DTP-US and DMRD,and the agreement of the 2 diagnosing methods was analysed.The accurate rates of the detection of other pelvic floor abnormalities by the 2 methods were calculated.The agreement of DTP-US and DMRD in diagnosing rectocele was analysed by Cohen's kappa test.The difference of the depth of rectocele measured by DTP-US and DMRD was compared by paired samplet test,and the correlation of the depth of rectocele measured by DTP-US and DMRD was analyzed by using the Pearson correlation coefficient.Results Of the 14 patients diagnosed by DTP-US,there were 7 patients with bladder prolapse,5 with unrelaxed pelvic floor,2 with uterine prolapse,2 with rectal internal mucous intussusception and 1 with enterocele; of the 18 patients diagnosed by DMRD,there were 12 patients with bladder prolapse,8 with unrelaxed pelvic floor,8 with uterine prolapse,6 with rectal internal mucous intussusception and 1 with enterocele.The agreement coefficient between DTP-US and DMRD in diagnosing rectocele was obvious (κ =0.737,P ＜ 0.05).The depth of the rectocele detected by DTP-US and DMRD were (15 ±6)mm (range,7-24 mm) and (27 ±7)mm (range,20-41 mm),with significant difference between the 2 groups (t =-16.124,P ＜0.05).There was a high coefficient between DTP-US and DMRD in detecting the depth of rectocele (| r | =0.874,P ＜ 0.05).The depth of rectocele detected by DMRD increased as the increase of depth of rectocele detected by DTP-US (| r | =1.000,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The agreement between DTP-US and DMRD in diagnosing rectocele is high.The depth of rectocele measured by the 2 methods not only has statistically significance,but also exists a high degree of correlation.While DTP-US is superior to DMRD in terms of quick diagnosis and better telerance of patients.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of Du's heat-reinforcing method and Western medication in treating diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).Methods:Sixty-five IBS-D patients were randomized into two groups by the random number table.Thirty-three cases in the treatment group were intervened by acupuncture with Du's heat-reinforcing method,while thirty-two cases in the control group were given oral administration of pinaverium bromide tablets.The intervention lasted 4 weeks for both groups.The IBS symptom severity score (IBS-SSS),IBS-quality of life (IBS-QOL) and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD) were adopted to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy.Results:The two groups each had two dropout cases.The clinical recovery rate was 38.7％ and the total effective rate was 90.3％ in the treatment group versus 13.3％ and 66.7％ in the control group.The treatment group was superior to the control group in both clinical recovery rate and total effective rate (both P＜0.05).After 1-week and 4-week treatment,respectively,the IBS-SSS scores were lower compared with the baseline in both groups,and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (both P＜0.05);the score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group,and the between-group difference was statistically significant (both P＜0.05).After 4-week treatment,the component scores of IBS-QOL showed improvements in both groups,and the treatment group was superior to the control group in the improvements of dysphoria,interference with activity,health worry and food avoidance (all P＜0.05).The anxiety and depression scales of HAD (HAD-a,HAD-d) in the treatment group and the HAD-a in the control group obtained significant improvements (all P＜0.05);the scores of HAD-a and HAD-d in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group (both P＜0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture with Du's heat-reinforcing method can effectively ease the symptoms of IBS-D,improve the quality of life and the state of anxiety and depression.It can produce a more significant efficacy than oral administration of pinaverium bromide tablets.

Objective To discuss the way of treating accelerated rejection. Methods Seven patients of accelerated rejection were treated by efficient anti-rejection treatment. ResultsSix patients of accelerated rejection were reversed by efficient treatment of anti-rejection. One allograft was removed because treatment was invalid. And six patients were still alive, the longest survival one has reached to 3 years. ConclusionThe treatment emphasis of accelerated rejection should be focused on 3 aspects, including early diagnosis, efficient treatment in time, and paying more attention to any possible complications during the process of treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of diltiaze in renal transplantation patients treated with cyclosporine A (CsA). Methods 1529 renal transplant cases were randomly ~divi -ded into experimental group 1 receiving CsA, Aza, Pred and Diltiaze, experimental group 2 receiving CsA, MMF, Pred and diltiaze, and control group receiving CsA, Aza and Pred without diltiaze. The dosage and blood concentrations of CsA, the outcome of renal transplant, the incidence of acute rejection, and the hepatic and renal toxicity were observed in the experimental groups and control group.Results The dosage of CsA in experimental group 1 was less, while the blood concentrations of CsA was higher than in control group (P~0.05 ). The recovery time of the graft function was cut down to 4.7 days (experimental group 1) and 3.9 days (experimental group 2) respectively with the difference being significant between the experimental groups and control group (P
