In recent years, along with the in-depth research of Y-STRs, a lot of new loci are found and applied in forensic medicines. To solve some questions, the International Society of Forensic Genetics have published two guidance and recommendations successively concerning the Y-STRs in 2001 and 2005, which clarify contents regarding the term, the nomenclature principle of loci and alleles and the population genetics et al of Y-STRs. This report mainly describes the nomenclature principle of loci and alleles of Y-STRs.

Objective To explore the possibility for preventing the underwater blast injuries. Methods Fifty rabbits were divided into two groups: protection and control groups. The animals were placed at the rang of 5.0m to 17.5m far from the explosion point. 0.2kg of TNT Explosives was placed 3 meters under water. Physical parameters of blast wave were measured using pressure transducers. At 6 hours after injury, the mortality rate and morphological alternations were observed. Results The safe devices were shown to be effective against underwater blast injuries. Most of the animals had no or mild pulmonary and intestinal injuries. The whole injury severity was reduced by 2 to 3 degrees with our own made device. Conclusion Our safe device could be used to protect against underwater blast injueirs.

The cytokine-receptor- heparin sulfate functional complex combined by cytokines, cytokine receptors, and heparin sulfate chains formed by concatenation of heparin sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG), an important component of extracellular matrix and modified by some relative enzymes, can regulate the density of cytokine receptors and their intracellular signal transduction. This article focused on the regulatory function of this complex. Many morphological abnormalities and diseases occur when the complex is dysfunctional.

Objective To investigate the pathogenic constitution of thyroid nodular diasease and it' s di-agnosis and treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on data of 576 patients accepted hospi-tal therapy with thyroid nodular diasease from January 2004 to June 2008.Results Definite diagnosis of all easeswere made by surgery biopsy or fine needle aspiration-cytology.529 eases were benign lesions, another 47 eases were malignant lesions.Condusions Ultra-sound , FNAC and frozen sections have important value in differenti-al diagnosis for the thyroid nodules, nodular goiter is most common, and which have a close relationship with thy-roid carcinoma.Regular surgical resection would reduce the recurrence of thyroid nodular diasease and avoid missed diagnosis for thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To summarize the experience of how to preserve parathyroid glands and their function in thyroidectomy. Methods Data of 872 patients with thyroid carcinoma who entered our hospital from May. 2006 to Oct. 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Parathyroid damage rate was 2. 06% (18/872)and permanent hypoparathyroidism was 0. 23% (2/872). All occurred in total thyroidectomy. Conclusions Preserving blood supply for parathyroid and avoiding direct contusion or misresection are important for preventing hypoparathyroidism in thyroidectomy. Calcium supplementation should be given to patients with obviously low serum calcium level after surgery to prevent permanent hypoparathroidism.

Objective To discuss the operative technical details in reducing complications after thyroid diseases reoperation, especially how to choose operative method and preserve laryngeal recurrent nerve and parathyroid gland. Methods The study protocols of 183 patients undergoing reoperation for thyroid disease from Jan. 2000 to Mar. 2009 were reviewed. There were 115 cases of benign and 68 cases of malignant thyroid diseases to observe the postoperative complications. Results The rates of temporary and permanent laryngeal recurrent nerve injury were 4.92% (9/183) and 1.64% (3/183), respectively. The rates of temporary and permanent hypocalcemia were 4.37% (8/183) and 0.55% (1/183), respectively. The rate of postoperative internal hemorrhage was 0.55%(1/183). Conclusions The thyroid reoperation was more difficult and can seduced a high rate surgical complication. The thyroid reoperation can be successfully performed if the operators could pay attention to the operative skill.

Two patients underwent liver transplantation of blood type incompatibility were collected from Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA. Case 1: A male who had primary hepatic carcinoma underwent classic orthotopic liver transplantation; the blood of donor was type A, and the blood of recipient was type O. Case 2: A female having history of type B hepatitis underwent classic orthotopic liver transplantation due to pregnancy combining with severe liver disease and coagulation disorder; the blood of donor was type B, and the blood of recipient was type O. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to observe pathological changes and deposition of various immunoglobulin and complement in two cases following liver transplantation of blood type incompatibility under optic microscope and to investigate diagnostic standard of humoral rejection. The results showed that linear or granular depositions of IgG, IgM, IgA, C4c, C4d, and Clq were found in endothelial cells of hepatic sinusoid, suggesting that IgG and other immunoglobulin exhibited a strongly positively diffused deposition on the endothelial cells of hepatic sinusoid, while expression of C4d and other complements was also found. All those mentioned above could be considered as evidences to prove onset of humoral rejection in transplanted liver tissue.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of parathyroid hormone and estrogen on alveolar bone metabolism of castrated female rats.

METHODSSixty-six female Wistar rats which were healthy and 4 months old were divided into two groups, with group SHAM (n = 18) and group ovariectomy (OVX) (n = 48). After 8 weeks of ovariectomy, the osteoporosis model was confirmed by examing 8 ovariectomized and sham-operated rats. The rest 10 rats in group SHAM were the control group (group A). The rest 40 rats in group OVX were divided into ovariectomized group (group B), ovariectomized and treated with estrogen (group C), ovariectomized and treated with parathyroid hormone (group D), ovariectomized and treated with estrogen and parathyroid hormone (group E) at random with 10 in each group. Group A and B injected physiological saline (1 mL x kg(-1)), group C injected estradiol benzoate (10 microg x kg(-1)), group D injected parathyroid hormone (20 microg x kg(-1)), group E injected parathyroid hormone (20 microg x kg(-1)) and estradiol benzoate (10 microg x kg(-1)). The intraperitoneal injection were maken every other day to rats in each group, which continued for 8 weeks. The bone mineral density (BMD), bone histomorphology and serum Ca, P, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured after therapy.

RESULTSAfter 8 weeks of ovariectomy, the lumbar BMD of ovariectomized rats were significantly declined compared with those of the sham-operated rats (P < 0.05). Eight weeks later after the drug use, the BMD, %Tb.Ar, Tb.Th, Tb.N in group C, D, E were slightly elevated compared to group B, especially the group E (P < 0.05). Serum calcium and phosphorus values did not change significantly (P > 0.05). ALP values in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIntermittent application of parathyroid hormone in small doses can increase alveolar BMD of castration rats and improve their bone structure. And it can have synergy effects on the treatment of osteoporosis if it is used combining with estrogen.

Objective To develop the physical model of male pelvic organ group and conduct corresponding prostate puncture experiments.Because sufficient research and plenty of surgical training is very important for improving the surgical treatment effect of prostate puncture surgery,in which the deformation of needle and tissue has significant influences on surgical precision.Methods Based on the magnetic resonance images,the 3D reconstruction of human pelvic organs group was performed,and then the monomer organ moulds were designed.The monomer organ models were made by a new type of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel which is a biomimetic material and can simulate biomechanical properties of different tissues by adjusting the proportion of components.The monomer organ models were assembled to simulate the internal environment of pelvic cavity based on the human anatomical structure,and the experiments of insertion force and deformation were conducted.Results The results of insertion force experiments indicated that the mechanical properties of the proposed model of pelvic organ group were coincident with the force variation in real surgury.During the insertion deformation experiments,the deformation of needle and organs could be clearly observed in the ultrasound images,which indicates that the pelvic organ group has good ultrasonography compatibility.Conclusions The proposed physical model of male pelvic organ group can meet the requirements of experiment research and surgical training of prostate puncture,which provides foundation for improving precision and popularization of puncture surgery.
