[Objective]We have made the entity model of human being injured irregular bone model by using rapid prototyping technogy,and discussed the value and prospect of rapid prototyping technology in clinical orthopedics.[Method]This group included 23 cases:15 cases of calcaneus fracture,4 cases of fracture of tibial plateau,2 cases of fracture of first lumbar vertebral body,1 case of scapula fracture,1 case of dysplasia and aseptic necrosis of femoral head.According to the data gotten from CT tomographic scan of 23 cases which had fracture of irregular bone,we made the entity model of bone injury using professional software and equipment,and put it into clinic practice to study the state of illness and tried to assist the operative treatment.[Result]Application of rapid prototyping technology helped to study the state of illness and assisted the operative treatment,and brang on a new mechanism of the trauma and operative methods.By using it we also shortened the operative time and reduced the hemorrhage in the operation,and improved the rate of success in the first operation in order to avoid the second operation.All these cases have received good treatment effects.[Conclusion]The rapid prototyping technology has broad prospect in clinical orthopedics.

Objective To evaluate the significance of fiberoptic bronchoscopic brush cytology in the diagnosis and histological classification of lung carcinoma.Methods Data of 309 patients with lung carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed.Both bronchoscopic cytology and histology diagnosis were available.The positive rate of bronchoscopic cytology and tissue biopsy were calculated respectively.The classification accuracy of cytological diagnosis for lung carcinoma was evaluated.In tissue biopsy standard,evaluated the significance of bronchoscopic cytology in diagnosis and histological diagnosis.Results The positive rate of bronchoscopic cytology and tissue biopsy were 86.1％ (266/309) and 83.8％ (259/309),respectively.Bronchoscopic cytology combined with bronchial biopsy could obviously improve the positive rate to 94.2％ (291/309) in lung carcinoma diagnosis.Taking the tissue biopsy histological type as a standard,the cytotyping accuracy for brush method was 85.1％(74/87) in squamous carcinoma,82.4％(108/131) in adenocarcinoma and 100％(11/11) in small cell carcinoma for higher.However,the accuracy in diagnosing poorly differentiated carcinomas was only 12.2％ (5/ 41).Conclusion Fiberoptic bronchoscopic brush cytology plays an stable and important role in diagnosing lung carcinomas and histological type determination.However,it has limited use in diagnosing poorly differentiated carcinomas.

Objective To investigate the natural head position and cervical posture in the patients with different vertical facial patterns with skeletal class Ⅰ relationship,and to clarify the relationships between vertical facial patterns and natural head position, cervical posture in the patients with skeletal class Ⅰ relationship. Methods 94 patients aged 8- 15 years old with skeletal class Ⅰ relationship were selected as the subjects.The subjects were classified into high angle group,average angle group,and low angle group according to their mandibular plane angles.The cephalometric radiographs in natural head position were taken,and the variables representing craniofacial morphology,head position,and craniocervical posture were measured.The intergroup differences in variables were compared.Results The inclinations of mandible to the true vertical and cervical column (ML/VER,ML/OPT,ML/CVT)were smallest in high angle group,and they were largest in low angle group (P <0.01);other variables representing head posture and craniocervical posture (NSL/VER,FH/VER,NSL/OPT,NL/OPT,NSL/CVT,FH/CVT)were largest in high angle group,and they were smallest in low angle group (P <0.05).The inclinations of ramus to cervical column (RL/OPT,RL/CVT)were largest in high angle group and they were smallest in low angle group (P <0.01).There were no significant differences in the inclinations of cervical column and cervical lordosis (OPT/HOR,CVT/HOR,OPT/CVT)among three groups (P >0.05). Conclusion The significant differences exist in natural head position and cervical posture among the patients with skeletal class Ⅰ relationship with different vertical facial patterns (high angle,average angle,low angle);the subjects with high angle show extended head position and cervical posture,while the subjects with low angle exhibit the opposite tendency.

Students generally felt difficult in studying during clinical practice and the orthopedics teaching quality was unsatisfactory due to the discrepancies existed among teaching of anatomy,imagie and orthopedics clinical practice concerning the time,content,requirement and method.Students' understandings of anatomy and image knowledge were improved through launching theoretical study by means of lectures and case discussion.Students' understandings of orthopedics diseases were promoted through preoperative diagnosis and intraoperative conformation using anatomy and image knowledge for the patients they were responsible for.In all,orthopedics clinical teaching quality was promoted through applying these measures.

Objective To explore the role of PADI4 mRNA in the initiation and development of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)and its correlation with clinical features.Methods Fifty-three RA patients,27 OA patients and 30 healthy volunteers were included in the study.The real-time-fluorescence quantitative PCR method was used to measure the expression level of PADI4 mRNA.The level of Anti-CCP antibody and DAS 28 of the RA patients were measured at the same time.Results It was shown that the level of PADI4 mRNA from RA was significantly higher than that of the OA and control group(P

The epitope-G1 gene of Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) glycoprotein was synthesised by PCR and cloned into expression vector pPIC9K to construct recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-G1. Then the pPIC9K-G1 was linearized and transformed into Pichia pastoris GS 115. The recombinant P. pastoris strains were selected by a G418 transformation screen and confirmed by PCR. After being induced with methanol, an expressed protein with 26 kDa molecular weight was obtained, which was much bigger than the predicted size (15.54 kDa). Deglycosylation analysis indicated the recombinant G1 was glycosylated. Western blot and ELISA tests, as well as rabbit immunization and specificity experiments indicated that the target protein had both higher reaction activity and higher immunocompetence and specificity. The recombinant G1 protein could be used as a coating antigen to develop an ELISA kit for bovine ephemeral fever diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the role of signal transduction of toll-like receptors(TLRs)in immunological pathogenesis in children with acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods Thirty children with actue ITP and 30 age-matched healthy children were studied.Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to evaluate the levels of TLR 1-10 and signal transducing molecules,and cytokines associated with TLRs,such as IL-1?,granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF),macrophage colony-stimulating factor(M-CSF)and IFN-?/? mRNA.Expressions of co-stimulatory molecules such as CD40,CD80 and CD86 in mo-nocyte/macrophage(MC)was analyzed by flow cytometry.Results Compared with healthy control group,the mRNA levels of TLR3,7,8 and 9 in ITP group were significantly up-regulated(Pa0.05).Transcription le-vels of MyD88-dependent and-independent pathway molecules such as MD-2,MyD88,IRAK-4,TRAF6,TAK1,TRIF,TRAM,TBK-1 and IFN-? were significantly up-regulated in acute ITP(Pa0.05).Conclusion Aberrant activation of toll-like receptors signaling may be one of the initiating factors of immune dysfunction in children with acute ITP.

Objective To determine the allelic frequency distribution and genetic parameters of nine non-CODIS DNA index systems of the short tandemrepeat (STR ) loci (D2S1772, D6S1043, D7S3048, D8S1132, D11S2368, D12S391, D13S325, D18S1364, and GATA198B05). Methods A total of 353 blood samples were collected, extracted, amplified, and analyzed fromunrelated healthy individuals of Han na-tionality in Hunan Province, China. Results O ne hundred and fourteen alleles were observed in the pop-ulation with corresponding allelic frequencies ranged from0.001 0 to 0.323 0. For all the nine non-CODIS STR loci, the observed genotypic data showed no significant deviations fromthe Hardy-W einberg equi-librium. The Ho, He, PIC, D P, and PE of the studied non-CODIS STR loci ranged from0.108 0 to 0.195 0, 0.805 0 to 0.892 0, 0.770 0 to 0.860 0, 0.925 0 to 0.966 0 and 0.607 0 to 0.780 0, respectively. Conclusion N ine non-CODIS STR loci have high degrees of polymorphisms, which may be useful in in-dividual forensic identification and parentage testing in forensic practice.

Objective To investigate the effects of donor-specific regulatory T cells (Treg) transfusion on islet allograft survival. Methods Allogeneic fresh islets from Balb/c mice were transplanted to streptozotocin-induced diabetic C57 mice. The survival of islet allografts was observed. The experiment was divided into 3 groups: control group, nothing had been done to the recipients; simple islet transplantation group, the recipients received the islet transplantation only; experimental group, the recipients were given 1 ×106 Treg, then received islet transplantation. Results Blood glucose (BG) was above 16. 7 mmol/L after islet transplantation in control group; In simple islet transplantation group,BG level returned to normal level 1 to 2 days after transplantation, and hyperglycemia appeared 7 to 11 days after transplantation and maintained as the same as that before transplantation; In experimental group, BG level returned to normal level 2 days after transplantation and maintained at a low level,and at the 21st day after transplantation BG level was over 16. 7mmol/L in some recipients. Islet allograft survival in experimental group was significantly prolonged as compared with simple islet transplantation group. Conclusion Donor-specific Treg transfusion could prolong the islet allograft survival,and maybe have positive effect on tolerance induction of islet transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Tanreqing injection, a traditional Chinese herbal preparation for clearing heat and resolving phlegm, in treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) by improving airway inflammation and airway mucus hypersecretion. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was designed. Ninety AECOPD patients were randomly divided into Tanreqing group, ambroxol hydrochloride group and control group. The patients in the three groups were all treated with conventional therapy. Furthermore, intravenous drip infusion of 20 ml Tanreqing injection (once daily) and 15 mg ambroxol hydrochloride injection (twice daily) were administered respectively to the patients in the Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group. They were all treated for 10 days. Symptom score of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), plasma concentrations of interleukin-8 (IL-8), IL-10 and neutrophil elastase (NE) were detected before and after treatment. RESULTS: Cough, sputum amount, expectoration, dyspnea, fever, coated tongue and pulse tracings were improved obviously in Tanreqing group (P<0.05), and the effects of Tanreqing on improving cough, sputum amount and expectoration were better than the conventional therapy (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group (P>0.05). Compared with ambroxol hydrochloride group and the control group, the coated tongue was improved obviously in Tanreqing group (P>0.05). After treatment, plasma concentrations of IL-8, IL-10 and NE were decreased in Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group (P<0.05), and the levels of IL-8 and IL-10 in the control group were decreased (P<0.05). The change of IL-8 level before and after treatment in Tanreqing group was greater than that in ambroxol hydrochloride group and the control group. The changes of IL-10 and NE levels in ambroxol hydrochloride group were greater than those in Tanreqing group and the control group, while there was no significant difference in the changes of serum levels of IL-8, IL-10 and NE among the three groups (P>0.05). Total response rates in Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group were higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in total response rate between Tanreqing group and ambroxol hydrochloride group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in total response rate among the three groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Tanreqing injection can improve TCM signs and symptoms in AECOPD patients, and the mechanism maybe due to the decrease of serum levels of IL-8 and NE and improvement of IL-10 level.
