BACKGROUND:At present, isokinetic testing system has attracted more and more attentions in the evaluation of athlete muscle function, but its application in the detection of waist and abdomen muscle strength characteristics in juvenile male basketbal athletes is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To study the biomechanical characteristics of waist flexor and extensor muscles inoutstanding juvenile male basketbal athletes in order to provide the basis for waist and abdominal strength training, scientific selection and prevention of lumbar abdomen injury in basketbal sport. METHODS:Eighteen athletes from the Guangzhou Men’s Basketbal Team were subjected to the detection of muscle strength and work of waist flexor and extensor muscles at 60(°)/s and 180(°)/s using Cybex-Norm isokinetic test system. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At the same testing speed, the peak torque and relative peak torque of the extensor muscles were higher than those of the flexor muscles (P<0.01). The increase in the peak torque, relative peak torque and total work of the waist extensor and flexor muscles exhibited a reduced tendency with the increasing of testing speed (P<0.05);the peak torque and relative peak torque of the extensor muscles were decreased more significantly (P<0.01);the relative power of the waist extensor and flexor muscles were increased gradual y with the increasing of testing speed (P<0.01). These parameters were better in perimeter players than in post players. Under the isokinetic concentric contraction, the peak torque ratio of extensor to flexor muscles showed a decreasing trend with the increasing of testing speed and the waist flexor peak torque and extensor muscles flexion showed a decreasing trend, and the trunk stability was weakened. These findings indicate that the muscle strength of the extensor muscles was higher than that of the flexor muscles;the muscles strength of the waist flexor and extensor muscles was better in perimeter players than in post players. In isokinetic rapid movement, the muscle strength of the waist flexor and extensor muscles were reduced and the balance of the muscle strength of the waist flexor and extensor muscles was weakened, suggesting rapid strength training of the waist and abdominal core muscles should be strengthened in juvenile male basketbal athletes.

Objective:To study the coronal microleakage of flared root canal teeth restored with computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)fiber post and core.Methods:60 extracted human mandibular premolars with single canal were divided into 3 groups randomly(n =20).The roots of the teeth were restored with CAD/CAM glass fiber post and core(group A), prefabricated glass fiber post(group B)and gold alloy dowel-and-core(group C)respectively.The specimens were immersed in India ink for 4 weeks.Subsequently all teeth were demineralized,dehydrated and rendered transparent.Then coronal microleakage was ob-served with stereomicroscope.Nonparametric data were analyzed.After that,All the specimens was demineralized completely in nitric acid,Then the interface between the post,resin cement and canal wall was observed and recorded.Results:The microleakage was found in all the 3 groups,group A and C showed less microleakage than group B(P <0.05).But no difference was detected between group A and C(P >0.05).Microleakage mostly appeared at the interface between post and resin cement in group A and C,while in group B,it appeared between resin cement and the wall of root canal totally.Conclusion:CAD/CAMfiber post and core demonstrates less coronal microleakage than prefabricated glass fiber post.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effects, safety of pneumatic lithotripsy and 2 μm laser via transurethral ureteroscope for ureteral calculi accompanied with granulation. Methods27 cases (30 sides) of ureteral calculi accompanied with granulation treated with 2 μm laser and pneumatic lithotripsy via ureteroscope were reviewed. Results28 sides were fragmented successfully in a single procedure. The operation time was 15～45 min (mean 25 min). The intraoperative blood loss was 3～15 ml (mean 5 ml). The postoperative hospitalization time was 3～7 d (mean 5.5 d). 1 upper ureteral stone was pushed back to the renal pelvis and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was needed. The insertion of the ureteroscope was failed in 1 cases, who accepted open operation finally. Double-J tubes were pulled out in all the patients after 1 month, and 26 sides were stone-free. They were followed-up for 3～15 months (mean 8 months), no ureteral stenosis or urinary infection was found. Conclusion2 μm laser and pneumatic lithotripsy via ureteroscope is an effective and safe therapy for ureteral calculi with granulation, especially for those on middle or lower levels.

This study examined the effect of nicotine on the expression of mutant p53 (mt-p53) in bladder cancer rats. The rat models of bladder cancer were established by infusing N-methyl-nitroso-urea (MNU, 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks for 8 weeks) into the bladder. Pathological examination on the bladder was conducted to confirm the establishment of the model. All the bladder cancer rats were randomly divided into an MNU group and 3 nicotine groups. In the nicotine groups, the rats were intragastrically administered nicotine at different concentrations (25, 15, 5 mg/kg respectively) 3 times per week for 8 weeks. The mt-p53 expression was detected by the immunohistochemical method. The results showed that rat bladder cancer models developed histopathological changes of bladder transitional cell carcinoma. The positive rate of mt-p53 expression in the 3 nicotine groups (25, 15, 5 mg/kg) was 75.00%, 58.33% and 41.67% by the 14th week, respectively, significantly higher than that in the MNU group (33.33%) (all P<0.05). The mt-p53 expression rate was positively correlated with the medication dose and time (P<0.05). It is concluded that nicotine may play an important role in the development of bladder cancer partially by increasing the expression of mt-p53.

This study presented our experience in the treatment of testicular torsion, which may help achieve early diagnosis and improve therapeutic effects. A retrospective analysis was conducted in 71 patients with testicular torsion who were treated in our hospital from October 2007 to April 2011. The age of the patients ranged from 16 days to 34 years. All the patients had unilateral testicular torsion, which took place on the left side in 43 cases and on the right side in 28 cases. The course of the disease varied between three hours to 30 days. Post-operative follow-up was conducted until October 2011. Items examined included signs and symptoms at their first clinical visit, ultrasound findings, treatment in emergency surgery, and post-operative follow-up. In this study, the 71 patients were diagnosed with testicular torsion by color Doppler sonography, 7 had testicular fixation, 63 patients received orchiectomy, while 1 patient did not undergo surgery due to pressure from family members. Post-operative follow-up showed that the one patient's testicle, which had been reserved, atrophied, while all the other survived. No recurrence was found during the follow-up visits. It is concluded that an early diagnosis and surgery is important in improving the survival rate of testicular torsion, and the diagnosis and treatment by the first attending clinician is of critical importance.

Objective: To explore influence of shift work in nursing on sleep and circadian blood pressure and rhythm. Methods: A total of 29 shift nurses, who worked in our hospital for a long period, were enrolled as shift nurse group. Another 32 day shift nurses were regarded as day shift nurse control group（control group）. Both groups received Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) assessment and 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Results: Compared with control group, PSQI assessment showed that most factor scores and PSQI total score [(8.67±2.16) scores vs. (11.98±3.30) scores] significantly increased in shift nurse group（P<0.05~0.01）; 24h ABPM showed that mean nighttime SBP [(106.51±12.94) mmHg vs. (115.74±13.72) mmHg] and nighttime DBP [(71.23±9.76) mmHg vs. (74.96±10.68) mmHg] significantly rose in shift nurse group, P<0.05; Mean SBP decreasing rate [(7.84±1.52)% vs. (3.66±1.47)%] and mean DBP decreasing rate [(6.55±1.39)% vs. (2.83±0.51)%], SBP dipper percentage (59.38% vs. 31.03%) and DBP dipper percentage (68.75% vs. 27.59%) significantly reduced, SBP non-dipper percentage (40.63% vs. 68.97%) and DBP non-dipper percentage (31.25% vs. 72.41%) significantly rose in shift nurses group, P<0.05~0.01.Conclusions: There exists definite somnipathy and significant change of circadian blood pressure and rhythm in shift nurses.
