Objective:To establish a fluid dynamics model of upper airway before and after surgery and explore the changes of three-dimensional fluid dynamics in patients with micrognathia.Methods:A patient with micrognathia and severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)accepted CT scan before and six months after mandibular advancement operation.Computation-al fluid dynamics model was built on the base of CT scan by Mimics 1 0.01 and ANSYS ICEMCFD1 4.0.The internal flow of upper respiratory tract was simulated by ANSYS-FLUENT 1 4.0 and the results were analyzed by Tecplot.Results:Fluid dynamics model of upper airway was constructed before and after the surgery respectively.The volume of the upper airway of the patient increased from 37.284 cm3 to 44.498 cm3;the most narrow area of upper airway was located in the lower bound of pharyngopalatiae,and it was augmented from 1 .1 35 cm2 to 2.297 cm2;the minimum pressure was decreased from1 01 308 Pa to 1 01 272 Pa;the maximum air velocity increased from 3.476 m/s to 4.978 m/s.Conclusion:Mandibular advancement may correct the occlusal deformity,ex-panse the upper respiratory tract,decrease the negative pressure and maintain the patency of the airflow in the treatment of patients with micrognathia and OSAHS.

The study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of S-1 capsule (tegafur, gimeracil and potassium oxonate capsule) in patients with advanced gastric cancer after single and multiple oral administration. Twelve patients with advanced gastric cancer were recruited to the study. The dose of S-1 for each patient was determined according to his/her body surface area (BSA). The dose for single administration was 60 mg every subject. The dose for multiple administration for one subject was as follows: 100 mg x d(-1) or 120 mg x d(-1), 28-days consecutive oral administration. The pharmacokinetic parameters of tegafur, 5-fluorouracil, gimeracil, potassium oxonate and uracil after single oral administration were as follows: (2,207 +/- 545), (220.0 +/- 68.2), (374.9 +/- 103.0), (110.5 +/- 100.8) and (831.1 +/- 199.9) ng x mL(-1) for Cmax; (11.8 +/- 3.8), (4.4 +/- 3.3), (7.8 +/- 5.1), (3.1 +/- 0.9) and (8.8 +/- 4.1) h for t1/2, respectively. After six days oral administration, the average steady state plasma concentrations (Cav) of tegafur, 5-fluorouracil, gimeracil, potassium oxonate and uracil were (2,425 +/- 1,172), (73.88 +/- 18.88), (162.6 +/- 70.8), (36.89 +/- 29.35) and (435.3 +/- 141.0) ng x mL(-1), respectively, and the degree of fluctuation (DF) were (1.0 +/- 0.2), (2.5 +/- 0.4), (3.1 +/- 0.8), (2.4 +/- 0.8) and (1.5 +/- 0.3), respectively. The cumulative urine excretion percentage of tegafur, 5-fluorouracil, gimeracil and potassium oxonate in urine within 48 h were (4.2 +/- 2.8) %, (4.7 +/- 1.6) %, (18.5 +/- 6.0) % and (1.7 +/- 1.2) %, repectively, after single oral administration of S-1. The results exhibited that tegafur had some drug accumulation observed, and gimeracil, potassium oxonate, 5-fluorouracil and uracil had no drug accumulation observed.

Objective To explore the early diagnostic value of Golgi membrane protein 73 (GP73),alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and alpha-fetoprotein-L3 (AFP-L3) in patients with high risk of primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC).Methods Sixty-four cases of PHC were selected as the PHC group,60 cases of liver cirrhosis(LC) as the LC group,53 cases of hepatitis as the hepatitis group and 51 healthy checked-up people as the control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum level of GP73 in all the cases.AFP-L3 was isolated by using affinity micro centrifugal column,AFP and AFP-L3 were detected with chemiluminescent immunoassay and then the proportion of AFP-L3 was calculated.Results The positive rate of serum GP73,AFP and AFP-L3 in PHC group was significantly higher than that in LC group and hepatitis group [78.1％ (50/64)vs.25.0％ (15/60),17.0％ (9/53);48.4％ (31/64) vs.31.7％ (19/60),22.6％(12/53) ;53.1％(34/64) vs.30.0％(18/60),20.8％(11/53)] (P ＜ 0.05),In control group,GP73,AFP,AFP-L3 was no positive.The levels of GP73,AFP and AFP-L3 in PHC group were significantly higher than those in LC group,hepatitis group and control group [(245.69 ± 89.18)μ g/L vs.(116.37 ±38.52),(97.29 ± 24.58),(23.48 ±9.12) μ g/L; (403.27 ± 128.46) μg/L vs.(75.62 ± 19.35),(66.49 ± 15.14),(3.46 ± 1.02) μg/L; (15.64 ±3.19)％ vs.(5.24 ± 1.15),(4.21 ± 0.96),(2.95 ±0.73)％] (P ＜0.05).The levels of GP73,AFP in LC group and hepatitis group were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of GP73,AFP and AFP-L3 had no statistically significant difference between LC group and hepatitis group (P ＞ 0.05).Sensitivity and accuracy of three combined detection for PHC was 96.9％(62/64),91.7％(209/228),significantly higher than that of AFP,AFP-L3 single detection (P ＜ 0.05).GP73 single detection and any two combined detection was no significant difference in sensitivity and accuracy,compared with three combined detection (P ＞ 0.05).The levels of GP73 in PHC patients with different age,gender,serum level of AFP,TNM stage and tumor diameter had no statistically significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The levels of GP73 in PHC patients with positive HBsAg,extrahepatic metastases and LC had significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The diagnosis value of GP73 is evidently higher than AFP and AFP-L3 for PHC,and combined determination is superior to single marker.Combined determination enhances the degree of precision in populations with high risk of PHC diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the impact of aging and weight bearing on cartilage endplate morphology and chondrocyte apoptosis in rats. Methods The bipedal rat model (n=45) was developed by forelimb amputation and special breeding methods. The normal rats of the same age served as the control group (n=40). When the rats became 3, 6, 9, and 12 months old, 8 rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed and paraffin-embedded mid-sagittal sections of the L4-5 spine were obtained. Sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and the TUNEL procedure was performed. The numbers of apoptotic cells and viable cells in the cartilage endplates of the intervertebral discs were counted, the thickness of the cartilage endplate was measured and the degree of impairment of the cartilage endplate was evaluated. Results Apoptosis first appeared in the cartilage endplate, then increased with aging and resulted in a remarkable decrease in cell density. The apoptotic rate of chondrocytes within the cartilage endplate of the bipedal rat model group was significantly higher than the control group at the 6-month time point. A statistically significant difference was observed in the bipedal rat model group between the 6-month time point and 9-month time point (P<0.05). Correlation analyses indicated that there was a highly negative correlation between the number of the viable cells of the cartilage endplate and the degree of the cartilage endplate degeneration (r=-0.97, P<0.05). Compared with the naturally aged group, the bipedal rat model group experienced more severe degeneration in the structure of the cartilage endplate, more obvious thickening of the cartilage endplate's calcified layer, and more defects in the structure of the cartilage. Conclusions Besides aging, weight bearing is probably a key factor of the increase of chondrocyte apoptosis and the degeneration of vertebral cartilage endplate.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the literature on power frequency electric field testing data and to propose views and suggestions for current testing.

METHODSThe literature on power frequency electric field testing data published in the previous years was searched to identify 306 articles involving 193 valid testing data. Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon W test were used for analyzing the testing data.

RESULTSThe classification of data was carried out according to one quarter of occupational exposure limit (1.25 kV/m), one half of the exposure limit (2.5 kV/m), and the exposure limit (5 kV/m). The structure of testing data showed a significant difference between the non-power facility group and the power facility group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONAs occupational hazard factors, the radiation exposure from power frequency electric field is extensive. However, the power frequency electric field testing data in actual workplaces except high-voltage power facilities are far less than the occupational exposure limit with little harmfulness. There is a phenomenon of excessive testing at present.
