Objective To study the early expression of ca]pain Ⅱ and microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2) mRNA in the hippocampus of the lateral fluid percussion injury rats. Methods 18 Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. The changes of Calpaln Ⅱ and MAP2 mRNA in hippocampus 3 h after injury were detected by real-time PCR. Results Compared to the control group (n = 6), the expression for Ca]pain Ⅱ mRNA increased obviously(P <0.01)in the lateral fluid percussion injury group(n=6) ,the expression for MAP2 mRNA degraded obviously(P <0.01). Compared with the lateral fluid percussion injury group(n =6) ,the expression for calpuin Ⅱ mRNA in the mild hypothermia group degraded obviously (n = 6), the expression for MAP2 mRNA increased obviously(P <0.01). Conclusion Mild hypothermia may act as neuroprotection by inhibiting the expression of Ca]pain Ⅱ and easing the degradation of cytoskeleton.
2.Computer-assisted surgical navigation technique.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2004;21(2):306-310
Surgical navigation system is a system that processes medical images by computer graphics and image processing technique, reconstructs 2D or 3D medical image models. It builds a real-time loop among the eyes of doctor, the surgical device and the head of patient by several of space localization technique, so that to realize displaying the localization of surgical devices real-time. The history and research status of surgical navigation system is summarized and the system configuration and the key techniques are expatiated emphatically in this paper. The key techniques include localization in space, image processing and displaying technique, system registration technique and head location technique. At last the progress direction of navigation systems is given.

Epidemiology,as a major subject in the field of public health science,plays a pivotal role in the construction and development of disease prevention and control system.It is also vital for the public health system to improve the emergency response ability and to cultivate high-quality talents.After analyzing current situation of graduate education of epidemiology,we found some problems.In our research,deepgoing dissection was carried out and possible solution was provided.
