Objective To evaluate the application of three-dimensional (3D) scanning in the measurements and analyses of breast morphology changes that occur after breast augmentation. Methods Pre- and postoperative breast 3D images were obtained in 18 patients (36 breasts) undergoing augmentation mammaplasty by 3D scanning. All implants were round sillicone and planted under pectoral muscle. Average implant volume was 232.2 mL, and average projection was 3.46 cm. The number of implants in low profile implant group was 12( h ＜ 3.0 cm), and 16 in moderate group ( 3.0 ≤ h ＜ 4.0 cm), 8 in high group ( h ≥ 4.0 cm). The following parameters were measured by Geomagic 10.0: volume, projection, angle and distance of key landmarks, and symmetry degree. Results The increased volume of breast was corresponding with the implant volume (P ＞0.05). Postoperative breast projection was 12.9 %, less than expected projection (preoperative + implant projection). The values in low, moderate, and high profile group were 5.2 %, 15.1%, and 20.2 %,respectively. Conclusion 3D scanning is a quick, convenient, accurate and non-contact method for measurement of breast morphology, and it is promising in breast plastic surgery in the future.

Objective To detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)-C and VEGF-D in normal gastric tissue and gastric carcinoma tissue,and further investigate the relationship between VEGF-C,VEGF-D and lymph vessel density (LVD),lymph node metastasis.Methods The expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in gastric carcinoma tissues were examined by using SP immunohistochemical method in 30 normal gastric tissue and 75 gastric carcinoma tissue respectively.The lymph vessel were marked by LYVE-1 and calculated LVD.Results The rate of positive expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in gastric carcinoma tissue was significantly higher than that in normal gastric tissue,there was significant difference [73.3 ％ (55/75) vs.33.3 ％ (10/30),66.7 ％ (50/75) vs.30.0 ％ (9/30),P ＜0.01].The level of LVD in gastric carcinoma tissue with lymph node metastasis (40 cases) was significantly higher than that in without lymph node metastasis (35 cases)[(8.85 ± 1.24)/HP vs.(4.75 ± 1.04)/HP](P =0.000).The level of LVD increased when the expression level of VEGF-C and VEGF-D gradually went up.Conclusions The level of LVD increases in gastric carcinoma tissue.VEGF-C and VEGF-D are two significant factors for LVD and lymph node metastasis.

AIM: To establish the method of determining cinobufagin and resibufogenin in Xinkening Capsules(Venenum Bufonis,etc.). METHODS: HPLC was applied to determining cinobufagin and resibufogenin.The determination was carried out using an ODS column with a solvent system: methanol-water(50∶40).The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min,detection wavelength was at 296 nm. RESULTS: The linear ranges of cinobufagin and resibufogenin were 3.5 ?g-0.28 ?g and 3.75 ?g-0.30 ?g,respectively.The average recoveries of cinobufagin and resibufogenin were 99.86%(RSD=1.8%,n=5),and 99.84%(RSD=1.2%,n=5),respectively. CONCLUSION: This method is simple,accurate with strong specificity and can be used to control the quality of Xinkening Capsules.

0.05).It was revealed that all the patients followed up 3 to 6 months after treatment were free from complaints of the involved teeth,with nomal food intake and mastication.No abnormal adjacent tissues of dental roots were detected by imaging examination.Conclusion For the vital teeth,the similar clinical effect may be obtained by one-visit RCT and multi-visit RCT.

In order to treat or prevent portal vein metastases of liver cancer, intraportal chemotherapies were carried on in 18 and in 42 patients with and without portal vein thrombosis. The agents used were Pharmorubicin 30 mg, Mitomycin—C 8 mg and 5—Flurouracil 500 mg. The results showed that the incidence of portal thrombosis in preventive group (19.04％) was lower than that in control group (38.9％) (P

BACKGROUND:Nowadays, the internal fixation materials for the clinical treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures are broadly divided into two categories:intramedul ary fixation system and
extramedul ary fixation system. However, the effects of the treatments usual y lack of macro evaluation.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of intramedul ary fixation system and extramedul ary internal fixation system in the treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.
METHODS:217 patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture (Evans typing: Ⅲ type to Ⅴ type and R type) were treated by using intramedul ary fixation system and extramedul ary internal fixation system:18
cases were treated with dynamic condylar screw, 67 cases were treated with dynamic hip screw, 43 cases were treated with reconstruction nail, 72 cases were treated with proximal femoral anti-rotation blade nail, and 17 cases were treated with new generation of antegrade interlocking intramedul ary nail. The operative time, length of
incision, blood loss, time in bed, fracture healing time, complications and Harris hip score were analyzed and compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the aspects of operative time, blood loss, time in bed, complications and
Harris hip score, the intramedul ary fixation system was superior to extramedul ary internal fixation system. But there were significant differences in the aspects of length of incision and fracture healing time between two
methods. The results showed that the treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures by using
intramedul ary fixation system was better than the extramedul ary internal fixation system, as the intramedul ary fixation system could effectively shorten the operative time and reduce blood loss. This stable and reliable fixation enables patients to take early postoperative functional exercise, and could significantly shorten the time in bed and reduce the incidence of complications and it is conducive to postoperative hip function recovery.
Therefore, intramedul ary fixation system is an ideal method for the treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.
