As in the building of deep buried long tunnels, there are complicated conditions such as great deformation, high stress, multi-variables, high non-linearity and so on, the algorithm for structure optimization and its application in tunnel engineering are still in the starting stage. Along with the rapid development of highways across the country, It has become a very urgent task to be tackled to carry out the optimization design of the structure of the section of the tunnel to lessen excavation workload and to reinforce the support. Artificial intelligence demonstrates an extremely strong capability of identifying, expressing and disposing such kind of multiple variables and complicated non- linear relations. In this paper, a comprehensive consideration of the strategy of the selection and updating of the concentration and adaptability of the immune algorithm is made to replace the selection mode in the original genetic algorithm which depends simply on the adaptability value. Such an algorithm has the advantages of both the immune algorithm and the genetic algorithm, thus serving the purpose of not only enhancing the individual adaptability but maintaining the individual diversity as well. By use of the identifying function of the antigen memory, the global search capability of the immune genetic algorithm is raised, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the premature phenomenon. By optimizing the structure of the section of the Huayuan tunnel, the current excavation area and support design are adjusted. A conclusion with applicable value is arrived at. At a higher computational speed and a higher efficiency, the current method is verified to have advantages in the optimization computation of the tunnel project. This also suggests that the application of the immune genetic algorithm has a practical significance to the stability assessment and informationlzation design of the wall rock of the tunnel.

BACKGROUND:Navigation assisted minimal y invasive posterior lumbar interbody fusion and pedicle screw fixation can precisely real-time guide a variety of operation under minimal y invasive sleeve, and implant the pedicle screws and interbody fusion cage and other implants safely and accurately, thus can determine the decompression parts. Minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion is the typical approach in recent years for the successful application of minimal y invasive spine surgery techniques with the advantages of smal incision, less bleeding, slight tissue damage and faster recovery. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the short-term effect of minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with real-time three-dimensional navigation system and open posterior transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. METHODS:Forty cases with single-level lumbar disc herniation were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated with minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with real-time three-dimensional navigation system (20 cases) and open posterior transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (20 cases) respectively for the comparative analysis. The fusion duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, the length of postoperative hospital stay and the length of hospital stay were compared between two groups. The wound pain and function were evaluated after treatment with visual analogue scale score and Japanese Orthopaedic Association score. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were fol owed-up for 7.7 months. The operative duration in the minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group was longer than that in the open posterior transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group, and the difference was significant (P<0.01);the length of hospital stay and length of postoperative hospital stay of the minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group were shorter than the open posterior transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group, and the differences were significant (P<0.01);the intraoperative blood loss of the minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group was less than the open posterior transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05);the postoperative drainage volume of the minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group was less than the open posterior transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group, and the difference was significant (P<0.01). The visual analogue scale score was significantly decreased and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score was significantly increased in the minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group at 3 days after internal fixation compared with open posterior transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion group (P<0.01), but there were no significant differences in the visual analogue scale score and Japanese Orthopaedic Association score between the two groups before operation and 6 months after operation (P>0.05).The results indicate that minimal y invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with real-time three-dimensional navigation system is an effective method for lumbar disc herniation with the advantages of less intraoperative blood loss, less postoperative drainage volume, smal trauma, short hospital stay and short-term efficacy.

ObjectiveTo study the morphology, normal values and lateral asymmetry of Chinese calcarine sulcus on MRI. Methods High-resolution and transverse MRI were obtained from 40 female volunteers. Brainvisa software was used to reconstruct the calcarine sulcus and measure its average length, depth and width automatically. Results The posterior branch of calcarine sulcus showed six types in the median sagittal plane: bifurcation(32.50%), single peak(25.00%), flat (16.25%), S-shaped (15.00%), double peak(7.50%) and other shape (3.75%); its location had three types: inferior(72.50%), middle(21.25%)and superior(6.25%). The depth of left calcarine sulcus was (15.24±2.67)mm, and the right one was (16.97±3.25)mm, which revealed great statistical significance (P＜0.000 1). The width of left calcarine sulcus was (3.14±0.91)mm, and it was (3.19± 0.83)mm in the right side. The bottom length of calcarine sulcus: the left was (86.47±16.85)mm, the right was (83.62±17.10)mm. The top length of calcarine sulcus: the left was (70.52±12.40)mm, the right was (64.90±15.17)mm. There were not statistical significance in width, bottom length and top length between left and right calcarine sulci. More than half of the end part of calcarine sulci turned to the lateral surface of cerebral hemisphere.Totally 63 cases (78.75%) were found with prominent calcar avis. Conclusion Significant difference of depth between left and right calcarine sulcus of female was found. Three-dimensional reconstruction is an effective method to study the anatomy of calcarine sulcus.
