BACKGROUND:The finite element model has been developed from two-dimensional model to three-dimensional model, from linear model to nonlinear model. As the advantage of this method in the analysis of mechanical characteristics of the irregular objects, the finite element model has been widely used in the research of orthopedic biomechanics, especial y in the research of hip joint. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the stress state of human femur with finite element analysis method and to investigate a method that can rapidly construct femoral finite element model and precisely analyze the biomechanics. METHODS:Normal male femur was used as specimen for CT scan to obtain cross-sectional images of femur in each slice. Three-dimensional reconstruction was performed with DICOM data and MIMICS software, then the femoral three-dimensional finite element model was established with the finite element analysis ABQUS 6.8 software, and the stress distribution of the model was analyzed under loading condition. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Based on DICOM data, three-dimensional finite element model of femur was constructed more quickly and precisely. The models were divided into 38 636 nodes and 201 422 units. The model included the parts of cortical and cancel ous bone. The biomechanical test results were accorded with the previous results, so the model could objectively reflect the real femur shape and biomechanical behavior with high precision. The Mimics software provided a simpler and effective method for the construction of femur model and improved the efficiency of modeling, and the three-dimensional finite element model based on DICOM data was accurate in shape and can be used for the normal research on biomechanical behavior of femur. The stress distribution analyzed with ABQUS 6.8 software is consistent with the clinical observation.

Procalcitonin (PCT) has been recognized a marker of infectious diseases for the past few years.The value of PCT is specific elevation in infectious diseases or inflammation caused by bacterial and it has an important role in the identification of bloodstream infections,bacterial and non-bacterial,rational usage of antibiotics and prediction disease prognosis.PCT is a high value diagnostic indicators.However,the PCT do not reflect a clear advantage in the diagnosis of neonatal infection.In this paper,the composition of the PCT,the source in the body of PCT,the metabolism of PCT,laboratory testing methods of PCT and its applications in neonatal infection were reviewed in order to gain a deeper understanding of the value of PCT in the neonatal diagnosis of infectious diseases.

Objective To evaluate the effect of enteral nutrision (EN) containing dietary fiber complex (DFC) on intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with experimental colitis. Methods Ninety six SD rats were induced into ulcerative colitis by acetic acid enema.than were divided into 3 groups. The rats in group C received non-DFC nutrison, while the rats in group Tl or group T2 received soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) of the EN with different proportion (1:2 or 1:3, respectively). At the first-, third-,fifth- and seventh-day after the EN, the concentration of D-lactate and diamine oxidase (DAO) activity in plasma were detected and intestinal samples were obtained to observe the changes of intestinal mucosa. Results At the third-,fifth- and seventh-day,the D-lactate concentration and the DAO activity in plasma significantly reduced in group Tl and T2 when compared with group C (P<0. 05) , but there was no statistical difference between group Tl and group T2. The scores of histological damages of colon in the group Tl and group T2 decreased in comparison with group C at all time points (P < 0. 05). However, the scores of histological damages of colon significantly decreased in group T2 when compared with group Tl at day 5 and day 7 (P <0. 05). Conclusion EN containing DFC may reduce the intestinal permeability of colitis in rats, which has a protective effect on intestinal mucosal barrier. While different proportions of the SDF or IDF ratio result in different effects on the mucosal protection. This protective effect will be enhanced by increasing the ratio of IDF in a certain scale.

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a general name for a group of metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular diseases,and its major constituents include hyperglycemia,hypertension,lipid abnormality and central obesity.Because MetS portly overlaps the risk factors of stroke,and thus it determines that MetS is closely related with stroke.No matter the interaction of all individual risk factor or multiple risk factors may affect the occurrence and development of stroke.

Recently,gene chip technology has become a rapidly developed biotechnology.It contains so many advantages including large-scale, high flux,and parallelism that it has been widely applied in many fields.In this paper,the updated advances on applications of gene chip technology to medicinal plant researches are discussed and the contents are ranged from isolation of differentially expressed genes,discovery of new genes,research on functional genomics,identification of Chinese materia medica,detection of genetically transformed medicinal plants,and the molecular mechanisms of medicinal plant pharmacology and their diseases as well.Some problems and prospects related to the technology are also briefly presented.

Artemisinin is a traditional anti-malarial drug. In recent years, many researches indicated that artemisinin and its derivatives have obvious anti-tumor effects. Its mechanisms of anti-tumor lies in cytotoxicity, direct destruction of tumor cells due to oxidative stress reaction, inducing apoptosis, inhibiting of tumor cell proliferation, restraining tumor angiogenesis and performing immunological regulation. Compared with the traditional anti-cancer drugs, artemisinin can selectively inhibit tumor cells and manifestating no cross-resistance with traditional chemotherapeutic agents. Besides it can reverse the phenomenon of multi-drug resistant of tumor cells. Therefore, artemisinin, as an new type of anti-cancer drug, will be applied to a wide range of clinical practice.
