A variety of heat shock protein 70(HSP70)-associated therapeutic vaccines including protein vaccine,peptide vaccine,tumor cell vaccine and DNA vaccine,have been developed and applied in anti-tumor immunotherapy,in which HSP70-fused DNA vaccine attracts our attention with its superiority.It not only induces consistent anti-tumor immune response but also helps sustain immune memory.In this article we reviewed the function and application of HSP70 in the therapeutic tumor DNA vaccine.

From the prospective of metaethics and normative ethics, we analyze the ethical character and function of medical professional language, and emphasize the influence of respecting the patients'right as well as the role of medical professional language in dealing with doctor - patient relationship.

This article is based on the observation of the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) and on the analysis of its morphological structure. The normal values of 15 items, used to represent the structure of the joint, have been established.Three indices, that is the glenoid fossa index, the articular tubercle index and the condyle index, are accepted to express the geometrical characters and to reflect the close relationship between the two functional parts of the joint. Besides, the frequency distributing curves are presented. It is concluded that the male's TMJ is eminently larger than the female's, while there is no distinct difference between left and right sides and between groups with or without occlusion. This result might meet the needs of the Clinical research as well as the design of the artificial TMJ.

The projection area of the volar surface of the human hand was estimated on 52 young Chinese adults(26 males and 26 females.)ranging in age from 18 to 31. The average projection area of the volar surface of the hand was 145.20 square centimetres.It occupied 0.93％ of the calculated body surface.The area of the palm was 86.69 square centimetres, amounting to 59.70％ of the volar surface of the whole hand. All dimensions of different parts of the hand of males were larger than those of females. There was no difference between the right and left hands of both sexes. The coefficient of correlation among the body length, body weight, length and width of the hand, surface area of the whole body with the projection area of the volar surface of the hand was calculated. All showed close correlation. The regression of the estimation of the projection area of the volar surface of the hand with hand length and hand width was established. It is therefore to be assumed that the area of the volar surface of the hand calculated as one per cent of the body area, as it is often used in surgical examina- tions, seems to be a little higher than its real area(0.93％.

Two-dimensional finite element stress analyses were employed to study the human mandible. Two models, three teeth loading conditions and three distributions of masticatory muscles are presented. Finite element analyses are compared with photoelastic experiments to indicate correspondence between both results. High stress concentrates in the mandibular angle, condylar region, retromolar area and dental orown.

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of the coagulation function after mitral valve replace‐ment (MVR) .Methods 163 cases of MVR admitted in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2014 were included in the obser‐vation group and contemporaneous 163 individuals of healthy physical examination were selected as the control group .The pro‐thrombin time (PT) ,activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT ) ,fibrinogen concentration (FIB) ,thrombin time (TT ) and pro‐thrombin time international normalized ratio (INR) in the two groups were detected and the detected results were performed the statistically comparative analysis .Results PT ,APTT and INR in the majority of the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ,the differences had statistical significance (P < 0 .05) .Conclusion The regular determination of blood coagulation function after MVR can effectively reflect the disorder status of anticoagulant and coagulation mechanism ,and can improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment and clinical predictive value .

Objective To innovate an early, rapid and efficient approach to the pmgnestic evaluation of sep-sis in order to lower the mortality. Method Forty-five septic rats, induced by cecal ligation and puncture, were divided into surviving group (n=23) and non-survival group (n=22) on six days after onset of sepsis. Serum samples were taken from septic and sham-operated rats (n=25) at 12 hours after surgery. HPLC/MS assays were performed to acquire the serum metabolic profiles, and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) was em-ployed to build predictive model for prognostic evaluation of sepsis. Results The principal component analysis al-lows differentiating the rots of survive,non-survive and sham-operated from one another in respect of the pathologic characteristics. Six metabolites, linolenic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and do-cosapentaenoic acid, related to the outcomes of septic rats were then structurally identified. A RBFNN model for outcome predication was built based upon the metabolic profile data from rat sera with the sensitivity of (96.1 ±3.6)% (n=10) and specificity of (91.0±4.3)% (n=10). Condusions HPLC/MS-based metabonomic approach combined with pattern recognition permits accurate outcome prediction of septic rats in the early stage. The proposed approach has advantages of rapid, low-cost and efficiency, and is isph-ing to be applied in clinical prognostic evaluation of septic patients.

Objective To investigate the CT features of nodular or mass-like type pulmonary cryptococcosis(PC). Methods A total of 52 cases with nodular or mass-like type PC confirmed by pathological examinations at Fuzhou Pulmonary Hospital of Fujian from January 2008 to December 2012 were studied. Each patient underwent a breath-hold MSCT scan and contrast enhanced CT was performed in 19 patients. The data including lesion size, number, distribution, density, performance of enhanced CT scan and accompanying signs were analyzed. Each CT accompanying sign was compared between nodular lesions and mass-like lesions using χ2 test,continuous correction χ2 test or Fisher exact test. Results Of all the 52 patients, pulmonary cryptococcosis was consisted single nodules/masses (21 cases) and multiple of nodules/masses (31 cases). There were total 206 lesions with 172 nodules and 34 masses. The lesions were mainly found in lower lobe(73.3%, 151/206)and outer zone or subpleura(87.4%, 180/206)of lung. Plain CT scan showed the densities of most lesions were solid and uniform(74.7%, 154/206). A total of 95 lesions were detected in the 19 patients with contrast enhanced CT, in which 61 lesions (64.2%) showed homogeneous enhancement and 86 lesions (90.5%) showed moderate enhancement. Nodular or mass-like lesions accompanied by many CT signs including halo sign (59.2%, 122/206), air bronchogram (32.0%, 66/206), pulmonary cavity or vocule sign (15.0%, 31/206), lobulation sign (25.2%, 52/206), spicule sign (13.1%, 27/206), pleural indentation(7.8%, 16/206) and vascular cluster (1.9%, 4/206). Compared with mass-like lesions, lobulation sign was more frequently observed in nodular lesions(χ2=13.750, P=0.001), whereas air bronchogram and pulmonary cavity orvocule sign were less frequently observed(χ2=19.957, P=0.001; χ2=5.295, P=0.021, respectively). No significant statistically differences were detected in other CT signs between them (P>0.05). Conclusions PC lesions usually occur in right lung, lower lobe and close to the pleura. Halo sign and air bronchogram are the characteristic findings of CT manifestations in nodular or mass-like type PC.

After removal of unilateral molars in the rats,the changes in the articularcartilage and articular disc of the temporomandibular joint and HRP uptake of thelining cells of synovial membrane were observed with light,transmission and scanningmicroscopy.The HRP uptake activity of the lining cells was lowered and degenerative chan-ges were presented in ths articular cartilages following the removal of the molars.It is suggested that the temporomandibular joint is intimately integrated with theocclusion of the upper and lower teeth.Defect of the teeth on one side mayinduce occlusion disorders.These will certainly cause some changes of the structureand function of the temporomandibular joint.
