Objective To report computer-aided three-dimensional visualization of simulated surgery for distal femoral fractures using software Unigraphics NX and Mimics. Methods The preoperative CT scans of 6 patients with distal femoral fractures were used for three-dimensional reconstruction of distal femoral fractures using software Mimics. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the surgical instruments using the modeling function of software Unigraphics NX. The assembly function of software Unigraphics NX was used to vi-sualize the simulated internal fixations of distal femoral fractures with both Less Invasive Stable System plates and the retrograde nails. The operative procedures simulated by the software Unigraphics NX were analyzed preoperatively. Results The simulated operative procedures were clearly and vividly visualized in three-dimensions, The fracture reduction and operative effects could be predicted. Conclusion This system of three-dimensional visualization of simulated surgery for distal femoral fractures using software Unigraphics NX and Mimics can help surgeons make preoperative predictions and select reliable methods to improve the reliability and effectiveness of the orthopaedic surgery.

Objective:
To understand lunch satisfaction and leftovers of Changsha compulsory education schools under different supply modes served by school canteens and specialized enterprises,and to provide scientific basis for the government to formulate school lunch improvement policies.
Methods:
Multistage stratified cluster sampling method was used to random select 2 203 students from 8 primary and secondary schools in Changsha who were administered with questionnair survey in April to May of 2018.
Results:
For school lunch, the overall rate of satisfaction was 78.8%.The overall lunch satisfaction of female and primany school students were higher than that of male and junior high school students respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Totally 76.0% of students had the highest satisfaction in food hygiene and the lowest satisfaction rate was 60.0% in food taste. By comparing different supply modes, the overall satisfaction rate of meal quantity was higher (47.8%) under school canteens, and that of dining environment was relatively high (43.7%) under specialized enterprises. "Don-t like some food" (63.8%) was the main reason for students leftovers under the two supply modes. The lunch leftover rate of specialized enterprises (37.8%) was significantly higher than that of school cafeteria (30.6%)(χ 2=12.81,P<0.05).
Conclusion
The satisfaction of food taste and the rate of lunch leftovers need to be further improved. School canteens environment and management should be strengthened, as well as the flexibility and communication under specialized enterprises and family-school communication. The joint efforts by school and family are needed for healthy eating education.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Baoshen prescription in the treatment of stage Ⅳ diabetic nephropathy (DN) in the patients with syndromes of Qi-Yin deficiency and kidney collateral stasis and obstruction, and to explore the mechanism of this prescription delaying the disease progression. MethodsA randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter clinical trial was conducted, in which 94 stage Ⅳ DN patients with syndromes of Qi-Yin deficiency and kidney collateral stasis and obstruction were randomly assigned into Baoshen prescription and control groups (47 cases). The treatment lasted for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy indicators were mainly renal function indexes, including urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), 24-hour urine total protein (24 h-UTP), serum creatinine (SCr), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The secondary efficacy indicators were metabolic memory of hyperglycemia, podocyte epithelial-to-mesenchymal transdifferentiation-related indexes, and TCM syndrome score. ResultsAfter 12 weeks of treatment, the Baoshen prescription group showed lowered levels of advanced glycation end products (lgAGEs), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), type Ⅳ collagen (Col-Ⅳ), receptor of AGEs (RAGE), urinary fibroblast-specific protein-1 (FSP-1), UACR, 24 h-UTP, and glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc) (P<0.05), and an upward trend of miR-21 mRNA. The control group showed elevated levels of SCr and UREA and lowered levels of urinary FSP-1, eGFR, and HbAlc (P<0.05). After treatment, the Baoshen prescription group had lower levels of lgAGEs, CTGF, urinary FSP-1, SCr, UACR, and 24 h-UTP and higher levels of Col-Ⅳ and eGFR than the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the Baoshen prescription group showed statistically significant differences in SCr, eGFR, UACR, and 24 h-UTP before and after treatment (P<0.05). ConclusionBaoshen prescription can effectively improve the renal function, reduce the urinary protein level, and alleviate clinical symptoms in stage Ⅳ DN patients with syndromes of Qi-Yin deficiency and kidney collateral stasis and obstruction. The mechanism may be related to the metabolic memory of hyperglycemia and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transdifferentiation of podocytes.
