Forty-five healthy male dogs were wounded with high or middle-velocity steel ball on the lower part of the face.and the findings were as follows:(1)Craniocerebral injuries concomitant with maxillofacial gunshot wounds were charcterized by brain contusion in the entry side of the temporal lobe and extradural hemorrhage in the entry side of the middle cranial fossa,and their highest incidence and severity were found in those cases with mandible fracture due to high-velocity missiles.(2)The larger the amount of the absorbed energy from the bullet,the higher the incidence and severity of the craniocerebral injury.(3)The incidence and severity of the craniocerebral injury were positively correlated to the value of vibrational acceleration measured on the pareital bones,which suggests that vibrational acceleration plays an important role in the precipitation of craniocerebral injury secondary to maxillofacial gunshot wounds.

The selection of the prosthetic material determine the success or failure of hip arthroplasty. Currently, the metals, ceramics, polymer composites and carbon materials are the main prosthetic materials of artificial hip joint. They have some progresses in biocompatibility, elastic modulus,mechanical properties, useful life, but they still can't reach the ideal standard of design. In this essay, we mainly review the characteristics and applications of the current artificial hip joint materials through its classification in order to provide a reference for choosing appropriate hip joint materials in clinic and increasing characteristic of materials. We consider the polymer composites has more advantages such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and price, even if it has shortages in abrasion resistance. As the researches of polymer composites are main focus on abrasion resistance, articular surface and strength,and its performances are increased fast, it has a wide prospect in future.

Objective To investigate the neural mechanism of inhibitory control in sensation seeking by using the event-related potential(ERP) technique. Methods High and low sensation seekers( 16 people in each group ), who were selected according to their sensation seeking scores, performed a Go/Nogo task in which the stimuli possessed two levels of difficulty. Electro- encephalogram(EEG) signals were recorded continuously by a set of 32 Ag/AgCI electrodes. Results For two types of stimuli ( Congruent, Incongruent) :( 1 )The amplitude(FCZ) of Nogo N2 and Nogo P3 were( (1.61 ±4.25)μV,(-2.32±4.55)μV)and((16.44±5.74)μV,(17.00±5.71)μV). (2)There was no significant main effects of group for the Nogo N2 amplitude( F (1.30) =0.31, P=0. 59,η2=0. 01;F(1.30) =0.07,P=0.80,η2=0.002) ,the N2d amplitude( F(1.30) =1.18,P=0.29,η2=0.04;F(1.30) =0.004, P=0.95, η2 ＜ 0.001 ) ,the Nogo P3 amplitude( F (1.30) =0.13, P=0.72, η2 =0.004;F(1.30)=0.28, P=0.60, η2 =0.009) and the P3d amplitude( F(1.30) =0.08, P=0.50, η2 =0.02; F (1.30) =0.56,P=0.46, η2 =0.02). (3)Neither of main effects for the N2 and P3 latency was significant (P＞0.05). Conclusion The inhibitory control is similar across high and low sensation seeking groups,indicating that there is no relationship between the sensation seeking behaviors and the individual inhibitory control.

BACKGROUND: There have been reports about the cochlea injury after high-velocity projectile wounding. The effect on ultrastructure of cochlea after blast was still unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate ultrastructural changes of cochlea and cochlear nerve after maxillofacial blast wound.DESIGN:A randomized controlled observational trail with dogs as subjects.SETTING: Otolaryngeal Department and Maxillofacial Surgery Laboratory of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The study was conducted from August 1995 through July 1997. The animal model in maxillofacial blast wound was established in Animal Center of Xinqiao Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. Specimens were treated in Maxillofacial Laboratory and observed in Electron Microscope Laboratory. Totally 15 dogs of either sex (weighting 9. 5 - 13.5 kg, mean 11.3 kg ) were randomly divided into three groups with 5 in each group. Two groups served as trauma groups 1 and 2 and the other group as control.METHODS: The maxillary and mandibular regions of 10 dogs in trauma groups were wounded by model 8 cardboard-shelled detonators to establish animal model of maxillofacial blast wound. At the 1st and 6th hour after trauma the wounds were examined and specimens of cochlea and cochlear nerve were dissected out for electron microscopic observation to study the ultrastructural changes. The specimens in the control group were treated the same way as those in the trauma groups except for blast injury.RESULTS: After wounded, the cochlea and cochlear nerve in the early period manifested cilia disorder, edema of the nerve and mitochondrial degeneration. At the 6th hour after trauma there were extensive degeneration in cochlea and cochlear nerve, cilia fallen off hair cells and dissolution of the structures in nerve sheath.CONCLUSION: The ultrastructural changes of cochlea and cochlear nerve are severed as a result of maxillofacial blast wound, but in early period the injury is reversible. So it is very important that early cure should be emphasized in treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical nursing path on the psychological status of cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time.Methods Two hundred cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time were equally randomized into the observation group and control group:the former used conventional nursing method and the latter a clinical nursing path.The self-rating depression scale(SDS)and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)were used to assess their psychological state.Results After intervention,the scores on SDS and SAS in the former group were significantly lower than those in the latter group(all P<0.05). The satisfaction rate in the former was higher than that of the control(P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical nursing path makes it possible to effectively alleviate the psychological burden of the cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time and improve the patients’satisfaction with nursing working.

The tools used for the literature quality evaluation are introduced. The common evaluation tools that are publicly and extensively used for the evaluation of clinical trial literature quality in the world are analyzed, including Jadad scale, Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement and Grades of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system and the others. Additionally, the present development, updates and applications of these tools are involved in analysis.

Object To investigate the effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on myocardial Gs? mRNA expression of seriously scalded rat. Methods A 30% skin full thickness scald model was produced by immersing rat in 95 ℃ water for 10 s. The effects of PNS on myocardial Gs? mRNA level were observed with dot blotting hybridization and in situ hybridization technique; effects on cAMP and adenyl cyclase (AC) activities were determined with radioimmunoassay. Results Myocardial Gs? mRNA, AC activity and cAMP content were reduced significantly 3 h after scalding. PNS (100, 200 mg/kg) could markedly increase the level of myocardial Gs? mRNA expression. The elevated quantity was correlated markedly with PNS dosage (r = 0.95, P
