BACKGROUND:Core decompression and autogenous bone grafts are widely used in treatment of early avascular necrosis of femoral head. According to the report, the success rate of this therapy has obvious difference;the reasons may be related to inaccurate puncture location and secondary damnification of repeated puncture. OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct three-dimensional model of femoral head necrosis by Mimics software for reappearance of lesions in the necrotic area to realize measurement of necrotic area of the femoral head and estimation of its volume. METHODS:We restructured images by using multi-slice spiral CT Syngommvvp VE23A workstation, Inspace software and NeuroDSA software. Hip CT data in DICOM format were imported into Mimics 13.0 software systems. Necrotic area of the femoral head was reconstructed with Mimics SimuIation software to truly reproduce the integrated form, scope and stereochemical structure of the necrotic area so as to achieve the measurement of the necrotic area of the femoral head and the volume estimation. We designed the best core decompression channel, simulated core decompression surgery, so that the patients could refer to the best simulated decompression path in the operation of core decompression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Among 36 patients (48 hips) with avascular necrosis of femoral head, there were phase I in 8 hips, accounting for 17%, phase II in 28 hips, accounting for 58%, and phase III in 12 hips, accounting for 25%. (2) The volume of necrotic area was (1 475.48±647.342) mm3 in the phase I, (4 571.77±2 344.55) mm3 in the phase II, and (4 836.46±2 969.33) mm3 in the phase III. (3) We simulated the core decompression based on the radius of the sphere of the necrotic area as parameter in the Mimics Simulation software module, and then completely cleared the necrotic area. (4) Surgery can more clearly understand information and stereochemical structure of the necrotic area with Mimics software to simulate the core decompression. It is the theoretical basis of operation.

In order to get more pulse diagram valuable information, we summarized the traditional acceleration in the pulse chart based on the calculation of a new high-precision calculation of the acceleration pulse graph algorithms, being suitable for a large amount of data to adapt to requirements of high-resolution digital pulse diagram analysis, optimizing the acceleration pulse mapping process, reducing the impact of noise on data analysis, and improving the ability to distinguish details of the image. In addition, we used the spectrum analysis diagram for high-precision acceleration pulse. By doing so, we overcomed the traditional acceleration noise in the pulse data as the large loss, we found flat pulse, slippery pulse, taut pulse acceleration spectrum of feature points in the new Chinese medical traditional pulses. We then were able to recognize the pulse diagram calculated at the acceleration level to identify the frequency domain.

This study was aimed to observe effects ofDendrobium ofifcinaleKimura et Migo on cardiac function and changes of blood vessel in rabbits with coronary heart disease (CHD).Thirty clean grade healthy rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups, which were the control group, model group,Dendrobium low-dose (DLD), middle-dose (DMD), and high-dose (DHD) group, with 6 rabbits in each group. Constrictor ring was implanted in the left coronary artery to establish CHD model in the model group, DLD, DMD and DHD groups. Intragastric administration of Dendrobium decoction at the dose of 10, 20, and 40 g·kg-1 was given to rabbits in the DLD, DMD and DHD groups once a day for 21 consecutive days, respectively. The same volume of normal saline was given to the control group and the model group. Detections were made on levels of IL-8, TNF-α, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, the expression of actin, changes of LVSP, LVEDP,±dp/dtmax, BPs, BPd and morphologic changes of blood vessel. The results showed that compared with the control group, levels of IL-8, TNF-α, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and the expression of actin increased or significantly increased in the model group with statistical significance (P< 0.05, orP< 0.01); LVEDP increased significantly (P< 0.01). However, LVSP,±dp/dtmax and BPs reduced (P< 0.05, orP< 0.01). The blood vessel wall became thicker. Compared with the model group, IL-8, TNF-α, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and the expression of actin in the DMD and DHD group reduced or significantly reduced with statistical significance (P< 0.05, orP< 0.01); LVEDP reduced significantly in the DMD and DHD group with statistical significance (P< 0.01). While, LVSP,±dp/dtmax and BPs increased or significantly increased with statistical significance (P< 0.05, orP< 0.01). The thickening of blood vessel wall was inhibited. It was concluded thatDendrobium ofifcinale Kimura et Migo can improve cardiac function, which may take effect by improving and inhibiting pathologic changes of blood vessel and alleviating vessel injury.

Objective To study the application of P1 adhesin protein epitopes in diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae(Mp) infected patient. Methods The major epitope(P1-534) of P1 adhesin protein were predicted by ProPred and ANTIGENIC according to its primary structure. The high value fragment was cloned into a constructed recombinant vector. The gene was induced to express fusion protein in E. coli host strain BL21(DE3) and the fusion protein was identified by Western blot. BALB/c mice were immunized with purified protein to test its immunogenicity. Then the purified protein was used as antigen to test the serum of Mp infected patient by ELISA, and compared with the Mp whole cell antigen. Results The P1-534 protein was successfully expressed and purified. ELISA data showed that P1-534 protein could elicit high levels of IgG in immunized mice, the sensitivity and specificity of P1-534 were determined to be 85.00% and 97.67%, while the Mp whole cell antigen were 72.50% and 74.42%. Conclusion The results conformed that the recombinant epitope has certain immunogenicity,and its sensitivity and specificity are better than Mp whole cell antigen. P1-534 protein can be used as an antigen for immunodiagnosis of Mp infection.

Objective To investigate the relationship between rapists and related allele genes based on the analysis of 15 short tandem repeats (STRs) loci genetic polymorphism. Methods The method of Genome-wide scan was being used. Buccal swab samples of 129 rapists and 156 random populations were collected and PCR compound amplification was carried out with the aid of AmpFISTR Identifiler system. Then the products were subjected to electrophoresis and gene detection with AB13100 type gene analysis system so as to calculate and compare the alleles of 15 STRs gene frequency in the two groups. Results All the 15 STRs loci allele gene frequency in rapists and random population was found to coincide with Hardy-Weinberg law(P>0. 05). Allele 28 of D21S11 (rapists: 1.55% ,control group:5. 13%) ,allele22 of FGA(rapists:24.03% ,control group:16.99%),allele23 of FGA(rapists: 17.05% ,control group:26.28%) ,allele 10 of TH01(rapists:1.16% ,control group:4.17%) ,allele 8 of TPOX(rapists:55.77% ,control group:63.77%),allele 12 of TPOX(rapists:4.26% ,control group: 1.28%) were different between the two groups (P< 0.05) .while it is no differ significantly in other STRs loci allele gene(P >0.05). Conclusion Allele 28 of D21 S11,allele 22 and 23 of FGA, allele 10 of TH01, allele 8 and 12 of TPOX may be associated with the violent crime of rape. It is suggested that there are existing sensitive or resistance genes about the violent crime of rape in chromosome 2,4,11,21.
