BACKGROUND:Three-dimensional visual model of cervical deep vein can be used to virtual simulation of puncture. The studies on elevating deep vein puncture in the clinic are stil in the stage of exploration.
OBJECTIVE:To find the application of three-dimensional virtual puncturation simulation to cervical deep vein puncturation.
METHODS:CT cross-sectional images were obtained from healthy volunteers. Mimics software was used to semi-automatical y cut and reconstruct of various tissue of the neck. Three-dimensional model revealed cervical deep veins and its surrounding anatomic structure. Cervical deep vein puncturation was simulated, including internal jugular vein, supraclavicular vein and subclavian vein.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Three kinds of cervical deep vein puncturation were successful y simulated, showing three-dimensional adjacent relation of the virtual pin with surrounding anatomic structure. Safe angle, depth and optimal path of the pin were measured. A three-dimensional virtual puncturation simulation can provide visualized morphologic data for cervical deep vein puncturation.

Face vagrant psychopaths,All hospitals must persist in both efficiency of society and benefits of patients.Doctors must cure them cannily according to humanitarian principle.At the same time,government must pay attention to the theme in legislaion.The folks of vagrant psychopaths must treat them with friendly attitude.

Objective　To observe the effect of nordihydroguaiaretic acid treatment combined with Methotrexate or Vincristine on a human malignant glioma cell line. Methods　The effect of drugs on the cells was measured by MTT, and the protein expression of cyclin D1 gene in the cells was measured by immunohistochemistry assay. Results　①The anti-tumor effects of drugs on the cells were increased with the increasing of concentrations, and had a combined function between NDGA and MTX or VCR. ②There was no difference between the effect of treating NDGA with MTX or VCR given at the same time and MTX or VCR given after 24 h of NDGA treatment, but the effects were apparently different when NDGA was administrated after MTX or VCR treatment for 24 h. ③The protein expression of cyclin D1 gene in the cells was apparently reduced after NDGA treatment. Conclusion　There is a cooperative function between NDGA and MTX or VCR on the cells, and the function is probably related to the NDGA-induced down-regulation of protein expression of cyclin D1 gene in the cells.

Objective To investigate the role of interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) in the pathogenesis of secondary syphilis, and their relationship with RPR titers and clinical manifestations in secondary syphilis. Methods The serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-? were tested by ELISA. RPR titers of the patients were determined simultaneously. Histopathology was performed if skin lesions were present. Results Thirty three cases of secondary syphilis were studied. The average levels of serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-? were 78.7?82.5 pg/mL, 171.9?117.9 pg/mL and 115.7?67.9 pg/mL, respectively, in syphilis group, which were significantly higher in comparison with those in controls (P

Objective: To investigate the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) in HepG2 cells cultured under hypoxia for different time periods, and to assess its relationship with vascularization and cell apoptosis. Methods: HepG2 cells were cultured in a medium containing cobalt chloride (125 μmol/L) for different time periods (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours). RT-PCR was used to measure the expression of HIF-1α mRNA, VEGF mRNA, and bcl-2 mRNA, and bax mRNA at the above time points; Western blot was used to determine the expression of Caspase-3 protein and the activity of Caspase 3 enzyme. Results: After 1-2 hour culture under hypoxia, the expression of HIF-1α mRNA, VEGF mRNA, and bcl-2 mRNA began to increase gradually, peaked at 4 h, and then decreased, but were still higher than that before culture. There was no obvious change in the expression of bax mRNA and the ratio of bcl-2 to bax mRNA expression had a similar change with that of bcl-2 mRNA expression. The changes of Caspase-3 protein/mRNA and Caspase-3 enzyme activity were contrary to that of HIF-1α. Conclusion: HIF-1α may inhibit the apoptosis of hepatic cancer cells through regulating the expression of VEGF, bcl-2, bax, and Caspase-3, and the inhibition is related to the severity of hypoxia.

Objective:To investigate the effects of serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in renal allograft recipients with infection, acute rejection and CsA-induced nephrotoxicity for the clinical significance of early diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Methods:The sequential monitoring of serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were conducted by ELISA technique in 86 patients before and after renal transplantation.Results:The levels of serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 increased in the first three day posttransplantation, decreased and stabilized after one to two weeks,increased one to three days prior to the clinical diagnosis in acute rejection and decreased with effective treatment,increased in infection and had no significant difference in CsA-induced nephrotoxicity.Conclusion:Sequential monitoring of serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 of renal allograft recipients can be used to estimate the function of graft,as markers of the early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of acute rejection.

Objective:To investigate the effect of anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody in preventing acute rejection after renal transplantation.Methods:71 patients were randomly divided into two groups;treatment gourp( n =26)and control group( n =45).The treatment group received anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody twice before and after renal transplantation.The occurrence of rejection postoperation and renal function and T lymphocyte subtypes were sequentially monitored.Results:The occurrence of aute rejection in treatment group in 1,3,6 and 12 months after renal transplantation was 7.7% ,19.2%,23.1% and 30.8%,while it was 15.6%,28.9%,35.6% and 46.7% in control group.There was significant difference between the two groups( P0.05 ).Conclusion:It suggests that anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody reduce the occurrence of acute rejection and have no influence on T lymphocyte subtypes.

0. 05), which were markedly lower in high-dose group than in low-dose group at the end of CPB and 2h after weaning from CPB (P 0. 05 ). Conclusions The high-dose aprotinin is more effective to reduce the inflammatory response to CPB than low-dose aprotinin is.

Objective Apolipoprotein E(ApoE) gene polymorphism and alzheimer and coronary heart disease was studied ,and the correlation between them was evaluated.Methods The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to amply 227 base-pari DNA fragment in the fourth exon of ApoE gene,and digested them with restriction enzyme CfoI,electrophoresis on 8% polyacrylamaid gel for the cleavaged products,subsequently genotype was determined by silver staining and allele frequencies were counted.Results apoE genotype and allele frequencies was detected in 33 case with Alzheimer and 37 case with coronary heart disease.The results showed that the frequencies of ApoE ? 4 was significantly higher than that in age-matched controls(P
