In the present work, the bioavailability of heme iron has been studied by means of the hemoglobin regeneration method with iron-deficient rats model, which was conducted by feeding a low iron basal diet. Anemic rats were then divided into groups to which basal diets with various iron levels (7, 14, 28 ppm Fe) from heme iron (Group 1,2,3) and ferrous sulfate (Group 4, 5, 6, as a reference standard) were subsequently fed respectively.After 5-week regeneration period, the regenerated hemoglobin levels of the rats of corresponding groups were (1) 9.56→12.25, (2) 9.71→12.02, (3)9.51→ 11.09, (4) 9.74→10.81, (5) 9.66→11.24, and (6) 9.67→12.05, thereby the percentage of relative bioavailability (RBA) of heme iron were 117.7%, 124.8%, and 94.9% respectively. This result showed that the lower level of heme iron has a higher RBA. The reason why the effect of high level of heme iron was relatively lower was not fully understood.

Objective To evaluate the effect of OTD(observation-teaching-discussion) method in teaching of kinesiology of rehabilitation medicine.Methods 110 students majoring in rehabilitation medicine were divided into two groups,routine teaching group(56 students) and OTD teaching group(54 students),and the teaching effect was evaluated by exam score and questionnaire.Results There were obvious difference in the exam score and questionnaire between two groups(P<0.01).Conclusion In the teaching of medical rehabilitation,OTD method is more advantageous than routine method in bring up students' study interest,the initiative spirit,and the ability of self-study and analyzing.

Objective To investigate the methods of treating great saphenous varicosity by inserting optical fiber straight into EVLT.Methods Wuhan Linyun Laser Therapeutic System was introduced to treat 205 cases (257 limbs)of great saphenous varicosity.Optical fiber instead of blood vessel sheath and catheter was inserted straight into endovenous laser treatment(EVLT)through arteriovenons permanent needle was adopted.Results Operations lasted 35～55 minutes,averaging 45 minutes.Patients were hospitalized for 5～7 days.Postoperative vis- its were followed for 3～12 months,averaging 6 months.Two months after the operation,appraisal according to the curative effect evaluation criteria was carried on.The cure rate for superficial varicosity is 97.3%(250/257),for lower extremities swelling asthenia is 93.7%(150/160),for skin pigmentation is 91.8%(56/61),and for swelling is 90.9%(20/22).10 cases(3.9%)suffered from skin ambustion.9 cases(3.5%)suffered from shank anesthesia and stabbing pain.15 cases(5.8%)suffered from hypodermic tubercle.The patients had not deep venous thrombosis after the operation and the wounds healed well.Conclusion Inserting optical fiber straight into EVLT through arte- riovenous permanent needle brings about more accurate treatment.It can be operated simply,causing small wounds and less pain.

Objective: To study the effects of MMP-9 (Matrix Metalloproteinase-9, MMP-9) in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) by localizing the expression of MMP-9 in the aneurysmal tissues. Methods: By means of immonohistochemistry, the frozen sections (5 μm) with aneurysmal tissues (n = 10) were incubated with MMP-9 antibody-added agents, then the sections were stained and observed under the microscope to localize the expression of MMP-9, which displayed a brown precipitate within the arterial walls. The normal arterial wall tissues (n = 10) and the diseased arterial wall tissues from the arterial occlusive diseases (AODs) (n = 15) were also immunized exactly the same way as control. Results: A quantity of positive granules which appeared within the aortic media showed the strong expression of MMP-9 in the AAAs, with the positive rate reaching 95%(19/20), while no expression of MMP-9 was observed in the normal artery. However, the scattered distributed positive granules were seen within the arterial wall of some cases of the AODs, implying the weak positive expression of MMP-9 in this disease with the positive rate of 26.7% (4/15). There was a significant difference of the expression of MMP-9 within the arterial wall between the AAAs and AODs(P<0.01). Conclusion: High expression of MMP-9 within the aortic media faciliatates the degradation of collagen and elastin fibres and subsequent dilation of the aortic artery , thus playing an important role in the pathogenesis of AAAs. To refrain MMP-9 from enhanced expressing within the aortic wall is of clinical significance in the prevention and treatment of AAAs.

Guided bone regeneration technique (GBR) is regarded as one of the most important methods to increase the bone amount of alveolar ridge, which is often recommended to be applied in the dental implantation surgery. Barrier membrane is utilized in GBR technique to cover the bone defect and create a secluded space, which prevents the connective tissue from growing into the space and facilitates the growth priority of bone tissue. In recent years, along with the emerging of different kinds of barrier membranes and bone grafting materials, the scope of clinical application of this technology is continuously expanded. This article reviews the classification and property of the membranes and the application situation of guided bone regeneration technology in the field of dental implantation.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of magnifying chromoscopy in combination with Kudo criteria in detection and diagnosis of colorectal lesions. Methods After conventional electronic colonoscopic diagnosis of 125 colorectal lesions, staining and magnifying observation by chromoscopy were made with Kudo criteria, and biopsy specimen and resected samples were sent for pathologic examinations. Results The accuracy of ordinary colonoscopy and magnifying colonoscopy compared with histological diagnosis of inflammatory polyps, tubular adenomas, villous adenomas and colorectal cancer was 95.62%, 80%, 90% and 100% respectively and 100%, 93.75%, 92.86% and 100% respectively. The overall accuracy of two procedures was 85.6% and 95.2% respectively. Conclusions Magnifying chromoscopy is valuable in detection of tiny and slightly elevated colorectal lesion, and has high efficacy in judging the nature of lesions with Kudo criteria.

TiO2-SnO2 composite nanocrystalline was prepared by the low temperature hydrothermal method. A new film-type ozone sensor was developed by using TiO2-SnO2 composite nanocrystallines transferred onto an alumina ceramic tube with Au electrodes by dip-coating method. The crystalline phase and microstructure of TiO2-SnO2 nanocrystallines were characterized by X-ray diffraction ( XRD) , field emission scanning electron microscope ( FE-SEM) , energy dispersive X-ray analysis ( EDAX) and ultraviolet-visible spectrometry ( UV-Vis) . The ozone sensitive mechanism and photoelectrochemical properties of TiO2-SnO2 nanocrystallines were analyzed by using ultraviolet-visible spectrometry and electrochemical method. These characteristic tests of ozone sensor were carried out on the traits of sensitive performance, dynamic response, interference and stability under ultraviolet-visible illumination by the XEDWS-60 A type multifunction analyzer in gas sensor static test system. the conclusion demonstrates that when the ozone sensor based on TiO2-SnO2 composite nanocrystalline ( molar ratio of Ti and Sn is 6 ) was under conditions of 40% relative humidity and 25 ℃operating temperature, when ozone concentration was increased from 0. 1 to 1. 8 μg/L, the best linearity of ozone sensor upon ultraviolet illumination and visible illumination were 97 . 5% and 78 . 5%, the dynamic response time was 2 s and 9 s, the recovery time was 5. 5 s and 15 s. This kind of sensor showed good anti-disturbance to the gases, such as CO, NOx , formaldehyde, acetone, butanol and methanol. The response value of ozone sensor was attenuated about 4 . 7%, when ozone sensor was applied continually on the automobile about 12 months, and its normal time was 8. 5 months.
