BACKGROUND:Individualized percutaneous cannulated screws fixation with the help of computer-assisted design and cast immobilization are common methods for treating nondisplaced wrist scaphoid fracture. However their clinical outcomes are stil unclear. <br> OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical results of individualized percutaneous cannulated screws fixation with the help of computer-assisted design and cast immobilization for treatment of Herbert type Ib scaphoid fracture. <br> METHODS:A total of 36 patients with fresh Herbert type Ib scaphoid fracture were divided into two groups, individualized percutaneous cannulated screws fixation with the help of computer-assisted design group (screw group, 20 cases) and cast immobilization group (cast group, 16 cases). In the screw group, cannulated screws were inserted using 0.8 mm kirschner wires from scaphoid tuberosity based on the preoperative individualization fixation parameters. The direction of the wires was guided under C-arms and Herbert screws were percutaneously immobilized after fluoroscopy. In the cast group, radial deviation and palmar flexion plaster casts were immobilized for 3 months. The time of bone union, rate of bone nonunion, time return to work, wrist motion were recorded and compared in the fol ow-up. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al cases were fol owed for 10-24 months. Al patients in the screw fixation group and 13 out of 16 patients in the cast group achieved bone union. The average time of bone union of the two groups was 6 weeks and 14 weeks respectively (P<0.001). The time of returning to work was 7.6 weeks and 16.8 weeks respectively, with significant differences between the two groups (P<0.001). The range of motion of screw fixation group at the final fol ow-up was 96.4°-114.4°, average 104.4°, which was significantly higher than that in the cast group (66.4°-104.2°, average 94.2°;P<0.001). Individualized percutaneous cannulated screws fixation with the help of computer-assisted design can provide mini-invasion, high accuracy and good reproducibility, has better results than cast immobilization in the treatment of Herbert typeⅠscaphoid fractures.

Objective:To observe the changes of plasma oxytocin (OT), arginine vasopressin (AVP) and anxiety after exercise intervention in male opioids-dependent patients.Methods:Forty-five male opioids addicts who met the inclusion criteria and voluntarily participated in exercise rehabilitation were enrolled.According to stratified random sampling, all subjects were divided into exercise group ( n=22) and control group( n=23). Exercise group attended aerobic exercise combined with resistance training intervention, 5 times per week for 8 weeks.Aerobic exercise was mainly treadmill and elliptical, while resistance training was based on strength and endurance training.Subjects completed self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Chinese perceived stress perception scale (CPSS) before and after intervention, as well as physical fitness tests. Besides, plasma OT and AVP levels were detected.Independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test, and Chi-square test were conducted by using SPSS 20.0 software. Results:Before the intervention, there were no significant differences between the two groups in demography, drug history, SAS, CPSS, plasma OT and AVP(all P>0.05). The overall anxiety detection rate was 66.67%, the scores of SAS and CPSS were both higher than the Chinese norm, and the difference was significant(both P<0.01) . After the intervention, the levels of plasma AVP, the scores of SAS and CPSS in the exercise group (AVP(19.57±2.23)pg/ml, SAS(50.17±10.09), CPSS(36.59±6.36)) were significantly lower than those in the control group (AVP(22.53±2.56)pg/ml, SAS(57.12±12.00), CPSS(43.09±5.57), all P<0.05), and plasma OT((61.98±5.27) pg/ml) was significantly higher than that in the control group ((54.64±7.62) pg/ml)( P<0.01). Compared with baseline, maximal oxygen uptake(VO 2max), 1 min push-ups and sitting body flexion increased significantly in the exercise group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Opioids drug addicts were prone to excessive stress and anxiety and other negative emotions in the process of drug withdrawal. Eight-week aerobic combined with resistance exercise changed the plasma OT and AVP levels of opioids addicts, effectively alleviated the perceived stress, improved the anxiety state and their health related fitness level.

OBJECTIVEThe aim of this study was to compare the mandibular position when speaking with the intercuspal position and to check the stability of phonetics when determining the horizontal jaw relation in healthy adults.
METHODSA total of 19 healthy volunteers were recruited. Seven Chinese letters, namely, /xi/, /er/, /yi/, /ci/, /mi/, /ni/, and /ri/, were chosen in the test. O-bite was used to record the mandibular position when speaking these letters. A full-adjusted articulator was used to find the mandibular position during speech, and the mandibular position was measured using a vernier caliper. The mandibular position during speech with intercuspal position was compared in both anterior-posterior and left-right directions of the horizontal plane. Multi-factor analysis of variance was conducted for the statistical analysis of the effect of objects and letters on the mandibular position.
RESULTS1) The mandibular position was in front of the intercuspal occlusion position when speaking all seven letters, and almost no deviation was observed in the left and right directions (the mandibular position value of 82% was in the range of 0.5 mm). 2) Different objects had different mandibular positions during speech, whereas different letters did not. The distance between the centric relation position and the intercuspal position had a positive correlation with the range of the mandibular position during speech.
CONCLUSIONThe mandibular position was in front of the intercuspal position when speaking all seven words in the test. In the same object, the mandibular position was stable during speech.

In this paper, the new carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode (F-CNTs/GCE) was prepared to establish a new method for studying the molecular interaction mechanism between baicalin metal complexes (BMC) and bovine serum album (BSA), and the principle of this method was discussed deeply. Under the physiological condition, the thermodynamics and kinetics properties of interaction between BMC and BSA were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) to inference their molecular effective mechanism. The results show that the presence of F-CNTs can accelerate the electron transfer, and better response signal was showed in the BMC/BMC-BSA system. The detection of interaction of BMC-BSA used new method show that BMC-BSA generates stable thermodynamically non-covalent compounds, and the obtained average binding sites of BMC-BSA were 1.7; the number of electron transfer in BMC/BMC-BSA reaction process was 2, and non electroactive supramolecular compounds of BMC-BSA were generated by this interacting reaction. The relevant research work provides a new way to study the molecular mechanism for the interaction of drugs with protein, and with a certain reference value for discussion on the non covalent interactions.
