Objective To evaluate the clinical value of SAA by detecting their expression levels in patients with lung cancer and the analysis of the relativity of SAA for early diagnosis.Methods There are 243 cases specimens obtained from lung cancer patients who were newly diagnosed and without any treatment in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from April 2014 to June 2015.The 243 lung cancer individuals were 147 male, and 96 female, their ages ranged from 29 to 85 years, with an average age of 63 years.The distribution of pathological type was as follows:95 patients were adenocarcinoma, 102 patients were squamous carcinoma, and 46 patients were small cell carcinoma.The distribution of TNM staging systems was as follows: 59 patients in stage 1and stage 2, 54 patients in stage 3, and 130 patients in stage 4.While 179 cases physical examination as the control.There were 94 individuals male, and 85 individuals female.Their ages ranged from 26 to 86 years, with an average age of 61 years.By using latex enhanced immune turbidimetric method, serum SAA concentrations in patients with lung cancer and healthy controls were checked on the Hitachi-7600 automated chemistry analyzer ( Hitachi ).The comparisons of all analyses values between healthy controls and lung cancer were estimated by two independent samples nonparametric tests ( Mann-Whitney U).The association between SAA and lung cancer prognostic factors such as age, smoking status and metastasis, was evaluated by spearman correlation and multivariate analysis.Results The median and interquartile spacing of SAA concentration was 42.36 mg/L (9.35, 74.22) in lung cancer patients.While 24 mg/L ( 3.25, 21.45 ).The median level of SAA in lung cancer patients (42.36 mg/L) were significantly higher than in healthy controls (11.24 mg/L), and difference reached statistically significant (Z=-2.403,P=0.006).Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in SAA concentrations among the different pathological types(Z=-1.013, P=0.339), ages (Z=0.578, P=0.458) and gender(Z=0.726, P=0.246) of lung cancer patients.While the level of SAA in has smoking status (Z=-2.282, P=0.013) and distant metastasis (Z=-2.138, P=0.017) of lung cancer was higher.By drawing ROC curve, the cut off value of SAA in distinguishing lung cancer with healthy control was 14.48 mg/L.Meanwhile, the AUC was 0.811, the accuracy is 89.12% and the sensitivity was 88.73%.Serum concentration was positively related with smoking status ( r =0.331, P =0.018 ) and distant metastasis ( r =0.372, P=0.015 ) by Spearman correlation analysis .Conclusion Serum SAA concentrations may contribute to the auxiliary diagnosis of lung cancer, evaluate the clinical stage and distant metastases of lung cancer.

In the context of Popular Entrepreneurship and Innovation, scientific and systemic implementation of innovation and entrepreneurship education is the focus of higher education reform at present. This paper analyzes the important significances of carrying out innovation and entrepreneurship education in higher education of traditional Chinese Medicine, introduces the specific practices and experi-ences of designing educational concept and constructing education system about innovation and entrepre-neurship education, following the objective laws of modern educational development and the growth pattern of Chinese medicine talents, in order to provide reference for further promoting innovation and entrepreneu-rship education reform.
3.Calculation Model for Insertion Torque of Medical Bone Screws Based on ASTM F543-17
Journal of Medical Biomechanics 2021;36(1):E041-E047
Objective To study numerical model for calculating the insertion torque of bone screw. Methods The three stages of screw insertion process for the self-tapping screw were analyzed, so as to make mechanical modeling and simulation calculation on torque and torque angle at screw forming stage. Meanwhile, the insertion experiments of screws with specification of φ2.9×12 from three manufactures on polyurethane test blocks with different grades were performed according to ASTM F543-17(YY/T 1506-2016), and the experimental results were compared with the calculated ones. Results The deviations between the predicted insertion torque by the model and the measured torque in the experiments were 5 mN·m and 12 mN·m within the acceptable error range, which were 10% smaller than the average measured torque in the experiments. Conclusions The developed mechanical calculation model can be used to simulate and predict the insertion torque of medical bone screws in research and development or clinical use, and its combination with in vitro mechanical experiments provides an effective way of developing and designing bone screws.

Objective: To establish an HPLC method for the determination of the related substances in edaravone and sodium chlo-ride injection. Methods: The column was Kromasil C18(250 mm×4. 6 mm, 5 μm) at the temperature of 30℃. The mobile phase A for gradient elution was a solution containing 0. 2% acetic acid and 0. 2% trimethylamine, and methanol was used as the mobile phase B. The flow rate was 0. 8 ml·min-1, the detection wavelength was 244 nm, and the injection volume was 20 μl. Results: Under the described chromatographic conditions, edaravone was completely separated from its impurities. Edaravone and its impurities had good linear relationships within the range of 0.1 μg·ml-1-3 μg·ml-1(r >0.998). The average recoveries ranged from 90.0% to 110. 0% (RSD<10% , n=9), and the contents of their related substances were all below the limits (0. 3% ). Conclusion: The method is accurate, simple and convenient, which can be used for the determination of the related substances in edaravone and sodium chloride injection.
