The incidence of pancreatic carcinoma is increasing obviously in recent years with a serious threat to the people's life, and yet there is not a single treatment for obtaining satisfactory prognosis. At present, the radical resection is the primary method for resectable pancreatic carcinoma, together with radiotherapy can improve the surgical resection rate and reduce the dissemination of tumors. Intraoperative radiotherapy can alleviate the pain and increase the survival rate, but the role of postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy is still in controversial. There is a lot of advantages for regional chemotherapy theoretically, but lack of evidence in practice. Physical therapy and biological therapy in the treatment of pancreatic carcinoma have been recognized extensively. It is possible to change fundamentally the current status of treatment and to improve the long-term survival rates with the quality of life until establishing a comprehensive treatment system mainly depended on surgical resection with combination of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, physical and biological treatment. The interventional therapy has been significantly developed as an important palliative treatment during recent years.

In the criminal cases of driving under the influence (DUI), DNA evidence can be collected from the deployed airbag of the motor vehicle and submitted to the crime lab for touch DNA analysis. The evidence can be acquired when the skin cells are observed on the surface of the airbag in a traffic accident. However, the low quantity or quality of the evidence collected from a crime scene prevents further identification analysis in many cases. In the current study, we reported a case of identifying touch DNA extraction from the shed skin cells from the deployed airbag of a motor vehicle. We managed to collect DNA evidence from the shed skin cells in an airbag using a proper approach of collection and extraction. The 5.87 ng of extracted DNA was sufficient for genotyping and forensic identification, which helped to identify the driver of the car in collision with a pier in the street. In DUI cases and other traffic accidents, therefore, the amount of touch DNA extracted from the deployed airbag can be sufficient for DNA marker genotyping and further analysis.

OBJECTIVES:
To analyze the effect of walking pace on the fitness of middle-aged and elderly people in order to provide more theoretical data for the development of entensive mass fitness based on the means of sports physiological and biochemical techniques.
METHODS:
The selected 80 middle-aged and elderly subjects were divided into three groups:brisk walking group A (=30, 56.26 ±3.68 years), brisk walking group B (=30, 57.65 ±4.78 years), and control group C (=20, 55. 73 ±4. 18 years). Exercise group A:10 000~12 000 steps/day, a total of 16 weeks; walking group B:10 000~12 000 steps/day in the first 10 weeks, 14 000~15 000 steps/day in the last 6 weeks. Control group C:keeping the normal living conditions. The indicators were tested before the experiment and after the tenth week and the sixteenth week of the experiment. Test indicators included systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, vital capacity, timed vital capacity, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
RESULTS:
The levels of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and triglyceride were decreased significantly (<0.05, <0.01), while the vital capacity and high density lipoprotein cholesterol were increased significantly in both exercise groups afler 10 and 16 weeks compared with those in the same group betor test(<0. 05, <0. 01). The levels of diastolic blood pressure, timed vital capacity, serum triglyceride and high density lipoprotein cholesterol in exercise group B after 16 weeks were significantly higher than those of exercise group A (<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Ten thousand steps away every day can effectively improve the indexes of blood pressure, vital capacity, serum triglyceride, total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol of middle-aged and elderly men and it can further improve the indicator above by increasing the number of steps after 10 weeks.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the relation between the behavior psychology analysis of partial mechanical injuries and the nature of death in high-falling cases, and provide reference, for such cases.
METHODS:
Of 311 death victims of high-falling injuries collected from 2008 to 2013, 205 cases were associated with partial mechanical injuries. The characteristics of injury formation, preliminary crime scene traces, fatal injury of high-falling, and text messages were all retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS:
According to the investigation of preliminary crime scene traces, fatal injury of high-falling and text message, there were 86 suicide, 24 accident and 95 uncertainty in the 205 cases. According to the behavior psychology analysis of partial mechanical injuries, there were 80 suicide, 11 accident, and 4 homicide in the 95 uncertainty cases.
CONCLUSION
The partial mechanical injuries uncertainly caused by high-falling correlate with the manner of high-falling death. According to the behavior psychology analysis of the partial mechanical injuries in high-falling death cases, the presumption of high-falling death is usually accurate
