This paper is to establish a mathematical mapping m odel of different medical images for the same human tissue or organ.According to the mathematical mapping model of gray level,the merging and matching methods of medical image information,including CT and MRI,are studied.The coordinate sy stems of different medical images are normalized to be at the same three-dime nsional position,and then the new-mode images are showed to the users.This study establishes the basis of three-dimensional visibility of the information merge of medical images with different mode.

Incidence of autoimmune diseases (AID) and tumors has increased dramatically,which seriously affects the survival and the quality of life in patients.Recently,cellular immunotherapy has become more and more attractive in the treatment of AID and tumors.Emerging studies have shown that cellular immunotherapy can alleviate or even reverse the course of AID and tumors.We reviewed to focus on the advances of cellular immunotherapy in AID and tumors.

Objective To analyse the relevant factors of distribution of TCM syndrome for ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods 194 AS patients visiting the department of Rheumat Immunity, Guanganmen Hospital, were investigated in the way of horizontal study. And the relationship between TCM syndrome and age, sextuality, staging, grading of sacroiliac joint, laboratory index was studied. Results It was no significant difference of AS TCM syndrome with different age, sextuality, early、medium、advanced stage, and grading of sacroiliac joint. But it was different between the active stage and inactive stage. For the laboratory index, the ESR and CRP of each syndrome was different, while the comparison with the data of blood routine examination was no evident difference. Conclusion The distribution of AS TCM syndrome on active stage is mainly about the retention of damp-heat, and the inactive stage is mainly on the deficiency of kidney-yang syndrome. Compared with other sydromes, ERS and CRP in the syndrome of retention of damp-heat are significantly high. It is no significant changes of syndrome on aspects of different age, early、medium、advanced stages, and grading of sacroiliac joint.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) effect terminology is usually composed of a verb-noun structure such as clearing lung, expelling wind, killing worm and etc. The noun part, indicating objects of the ac-tion of TCM, is usually involved with some core concepts of TCM theory system. In this research, the 30 volumes of TCM work, which is Zhong Hua Ben Cao, were set as data source of the analysis. We collected TCM effect terms from 1702 TCM items. The most commonly used nouns were extracted, including 6 organ nouns, 11 concept nouns, and 9 illness nouns. Combined with modern pharmacological activity data for the 1702 TCM items, chi-square analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were employed to profile the modern pharmacological meanings of these noun terms.

Objective To explore the correlation between anxiety and the severity of myocardial brigde of left anterior descending. Methods 118 patients with isolated myocardial bridge of left anterior descending underwent coronary angiography were evaluated with Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). They were divided into anxiety group and non-anxiety group. Results There were 48 cases in the non-anxiety group, and 70 cases in the anxiety group. The stricture of myocardial bridge was more serious in the anxiety group than in the non-anxiety group (P<0.01), and positively correlated with the SAS score (r=0.765, P<0.01). Conclusion The anxiety is frequent in patients with isolated myocardial bridge of left anterior descending, and correlated with the severity of myocardial bridge.

0.05). The incidence of emergency cesarean section in borderline oligohydramnios group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusions Patients with borderline oligohydramnios may have a trial of labor under intensive monitor.

Group cooperative learning is a modem education model.In order to prompt the exploration of the education model in the practice lesson of epidemiology,group cooperative learning method was adopted.There are five key steps for the conduction of group cooperative learning,including task assignment(learning points,research topics,and infomation retrieval) 3-5 days before the task is done,reviewing the key theoretical contents,requiring students to refer to inf'ormation; organizing students to review the theoretical knowledge; students' discussion and making PPT in small groups,team report by representatives,and summing up by teachers at last.Teachers should pay attention to the rationality of interior structure and group members' work.Choosing a proper research subject is very important for arousing the students' interest of study.Based on the active classroom atmosphere and students' feedback,group cooperative learning method plays an important role in promoting the teaching efficiency of practice lesson.However,there are still insufficiencies to be improved.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and al ogenic bones are commonly used as seed cel s and scaffolds, respectively, for constructing tissue-engineered cartilage through in vitro co-culture. The loose body of the knee joint can survive in the articular cavity for a long time, and maintain certain characteristics of cartilage tissues. Therefore, the articular cavity can provide a good environment for the growth and development of chondrocytes. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s co-cultured with al ogenic bone in the articular cavity. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated from five newborn New Zealand white rabbits. One adult New Zealand rabbit was enrol ed to prepare al ogenic bone for co-culture with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. Afterwards, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and al ogenic bone composites were cultured in the articular cavity (intracavitary culture group) or in vitro as in vitro culture group, respectively;the normal cartilage tissues grew in the articular cavity as control group. Cel s were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and type II col agen immunohistochemistry staining at 4, 8 and12 weeks of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 12 weeks culture, hematoxylin-eosin staining showed:in the control group, chondrocytes arranged tightly and directional y with red stained cytoplasm and cartilage matrix as wel as blue nuclei;in the intracavitary culture group, the scaffold was mostly absorbed and chondrocytes grew into the scaffold in a certain direction with smaller shape, while cytoplasm and cartilage ma trix were red stained, blue nuclei appeared;in the in vitro culture group, abundant chondrocytes proliferated in a disordered arrangement. Immunohistochemistry staining showed:the absorbance ( A) values in the intracavitary culture group showed a continuous increase, but no obvious change was in the other two groups. Moreover, at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of culture, A values in the control group and intracavitary culture group were significantly higher than that in the in vitro culture group (P<0.05);at 4 and 8 weeks, A value in the intracavitary culture group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), but at 12 weeks, there was no significant difference in A value between the two groups (P>0.05). These results suggest that the tissue-engineered cartilage can be constructed by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells co-cultured with allogenic bone under in vitro and in vivo environment, especially in the articular cavity.

Objective: To observe the effect of cooling on systemic and regional oxygen metabolism in febrile critically ill patients. Method: Twenty-five critically ill patients with fever were cooled by ice blankets or by ibuprofen/indomethacin. Oxygen metabolism in whole body and regional organ and hemodynamics were measured. Result: As the temperature was reduced form 38.9?1.1℃ to 37.8?1.5℃,HR,cardiac index (CI),oxygen delivery (DO_2I),and oxygen consumption (VO_2I) decreased significantly,but gastric intramucosal pH increased from 7.26 to 7.37 and the PCO_2 difference between gastric rnucosa and arterial blood decreased markedly. PO_2 and oxygen content in cardiac coronary venous blood and oxygen exrtaction remained unchanged. Conclusion: After cooling the febrile pateints,CI, DO_2I and VO_2I decrease but tissue hypoxia can be improved.

Objective To study the effects of permissive hypercapnia (PHC)on cardiovascular system, oxygen metabolism and gastrointestinal function with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). Methods In 18 sheep with LPS induced ARDS, hemodynamics, oxygen metabolism and gastrointestinal intramucosal pH(pHi)were observed at different tidal volume(V T).Results PHC was induced by decreasing V T from 16 ml/kg to 4 7ml/kg.Compared with those at V T 16 ml/kg, cardiac index decreased significantly in PHC (P
