BACKGROUND: Researches are recently focus on topography and image dissection of nasolacrimal duct, but it is lack of systemically contrast researches between sectional anatomy and image anatomy on bone nasolacrimal duct by using dry cranium samples.OBJ ECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of sectional anatomy and image anatomy on bone nasolacrimal duct and provide evidences for related operations of nasolacrimal duct.DESrGN: Self controlled study.SETTING: Office of Teaching Supplies, Chengdu Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Topography Laboratory, Department of Human Anatomy, Chengdu Medical College from September 2005 to September 2006. Non-injured dry cranium was randomly selected from 34 adults (68 sides), including 34 sides on males and 34 sides on females.METHODS: ① Based on OM line, a routine scanning base line, which was regarded as the axial scanning baseline,samples were scanned at flat level with SHIMADZU CT device. Bone nasolacrimal duct was factitiously divided into three parts, including 1/3 superior segment, 1/3 middle segment and 1/3 inferior segment. The means at each related layer were determined as the final results. ② Cranium samples were signed based on image scanning baseline, and then they were cut into sections at cross section fault along scanning baseline at flat level with section razor. In addition, related indexes of bone nasolacrimal duct were measured and compared with image results.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Anterior, posterior, left and right diameters of superior aperture, 1/3 superior segment,1/3 middle segment, 1/3 inferior segment and inferior aperture of bone nasolacrimal duct; ② depth of internal bone wall and posterior bone wall in superior aperture, 1/3 superior segment, 1/3 middle segment, 1/3 inferior segment and inferior aperture if bone nasolacrimal duct; ③ position and form of inferior aperture of bone nasolacrimal duct; ④ comparisons of bone nasolacrimal duct between image anatomy and sectional anatomy.RESULTS: ① Anterior, posterior, left and right diameters of cross section of bone nasolacrimal duct: Superior aperture of bone nasolacrimal duct was narrow, but inferior aperture was changed obviously. Diameter was increased from top to bottom. In addition, anterior and posterior diameters were more than left and right ones. There was significant difference in internal diameter of superior aperture and 1/3 inferior segment of bone nasolacrimal duct between male and females (t =2.458, 2.227, P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in internal diameter of 1/3 superior segment, 1/3 middle segment and inferior aperture of bone nasolacrimal duct between male and female (P > 0.05). ② Depth of internal bone wall and posterior bone wall of bone nasolacrimal duct at cross section: Depths of internal bone wall and posterior bone wall of bone nasolacrimal duct were (0.87±0.23) mm and (0.21±0.19) mm, respectively. In addition, there was significant difference between them (t =2.547, P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in depth of internal bone wall and related posterior bone wall of superior aperture, 1/3 superior segment, 1/3 middle segment, 1/3 inferior segment and inferior aperture of bone nasolacrimal duct between male and female (P > 0.05). ③ Position and form of inferior aperture of bone nasolacrimal duct changed remarkably. Results of image anatomy of bone nasolacrimal duct were as the same as those of sectional anatomy.CONCLUSION: Perfection of normal sectional anatomy and image anatomy of bone nasolacrimal duct is beneficial for successfully performing related operations of nasolacrimal duct and reducing complications.

In order to study the mechanism of impact injur y to the head, we have simulated the development of the stress field by using th e numerical simulation method. The process of the head having been impacted vert ically by an impactor can be described as a 2D problem, and the reactions of the head subjected to impacted force can be simulated and analyzed by the method ba sed on the finite difference method (FDM). The model is subjected to applied for ce by an impactor with the initial velocity of 25m/s (90km/h). The pre-processi ng for the model is done on the microcomputer software. Once imported to the sof tware, the nodes and elements are generated and material characteristics are ass igned. The results demonstrate that the high resolution computer graphics can pr ovide the dynamic distribution of the stress field, which can clearly show how t he stress is developed, and how many its value is. The results are helpful to un derstanding the mechanism of impact injury to head.

Objective To investigate the effect of medical rescue of the Maritime Medical Team (Corps) for mass sick and wounded in maritime disaster so as to improve the medical rescue capacity for maritime disasters.Method The construction of maritime medical teams (corps) constituted with various numbers of 10, 15,50 and 120 team members, and the development of algorithm in practice were reviewed. In 68 maritime disasters from January 2003 to December 2009, 937 wounded were rescued by first-aid at sea. The patients were classified and given cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation, emergency operation, complication prevention, comprehensive treatment for seawater immersion wound and rapidly referred to hospitals. Results Of 937 patients, 872 survived (93%) and 65 died (7%). Of the dead, 16 died in one hour (25%), 43 died in 24 hours after injury (66%),andofthem, 61died of trauma (94% ) , 2 died of drowning and 1 died of poisoning. Conclusions Besides a good command of the features of mass sick and wounded, organization and program, treatment strategies and measures, the timely and effective assignment for on-site first aid at sea and safe transfer were very important for medical rescue of mass patients in maritime disaster. After the practice of maritime medical team (corps) in medical rescue during maritime disaster, the rapid response capability, cooperation and the quality of rescue were improved, and the experience of medical service of marine medical team (corps) was enriched.

Objective:
To explore the role and mechanism of long noncoding RNA(lncRNA) AC005062.1 in colorectal cancer(CRC) cell proliferation and apoptosis.
Methods:
The analysis of GSE84983 and GSE 104364 was used to indicate the expression level lncRNA AC005062.1 in CRC. The tumor tissues(tumor group) and adjacent tissues(control group) of patients undergoing CRC surgery in the hospital tumor surgery department were collected. Eight pairs of tissues were randomly selected, and qPCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA AC005062.1 in CRC tissues and paired adjacent tissues in the two groups. After using siRNA to down-regulate the expression of lncRNA AC005062.1 in CRC cells, CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation in two groups, flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle and apoptosis in two groups, wound scratch test was used to detect cell migration in two groups, and the lncRNA was determined. The database was used to compare the localization of lncRNA AC005062.1 and MACC1 genes on staining. The expression levels of MACC1 transcription and protein levels in the control group and tumor group were detected by qPCR and Western blot, respectively. The lncRNA AC005062.1 in CRC cells was down-regulated, and the expression levels of MACC1 transcription and protein levels in the two groups of cells were detected by qPCR and Western blot, respectively.
Results:
The database analysis of GSE84983 and GSE104364 and the detection results of the two groups indicated that the lncRNA AC005062.1 was highly expressed in CRC. After down-regulation of lncRNA AC005062.1, the results of CCK-8 experiments showed that the proliferation rate of HT29 cells in the down-regulation group decreased. Flow cytometry showed that the number of apoptosis of HT29 cells in the down-regulated group increased, the proportion of G1 phase increased, and the proportion of S phase and G2 phase decreased. Western blot experiments showed that the expressions of cleaved-caspase3 and Bax in the down-regulated HT29 cells increased, while the expression of Bcl-2 decreased. Wound scratch experiments showed that the migration rate of HT29 cells in the down-regulated group was lower than that in the control group. The analysis of UCSC to compare the location of lncRNA ac005062.1 and MACC1 on chromosomes showed that they were located very close together. MACC1 was highly expressed in CRC and down-regulated lncRNA AC005062.1 expression in HT29 cells could reduce the expression of MACC1.
Conclusion
lncRNA AC005062.1 can inhibit the proliferation, cycle and migration of HT29 cells, and promote its apoptosis by regulating the expression of MACC1 in CRC.
