ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of nickel-titanium(Ni-Ti) shape memory alloy embracing internal fixer on oblique or spiral fracture.Methods23 cases with spiral or oblique fracture accepted internal fixation with Ni-Ti shape memory alloy embracing.The time of bone healing,articular function,the appearance and function of the wound extremity were evaluated after 9～34 months follow-up.ResultsAll fractures healed in 4～16 weeks after operation.None infection,nonunion,embracing emersion or break had been found. The fine rate was 91.3%.ConclusionThe effect of Ni-Ti shape memory alloy embracing internal fixer on long spiral or long oblique fracture is satisfactory.

The realization of symptom measurement of the traditional Chinese medicine is a must for the development of traditional Chinese medicine, which obtained a common acceptation academically. This article believed the methods for realizing symptom measurement are the combination of both TCM two basic theories of "the wholism conception" and "treatment based on syndrome differentiation" and modern scientific measures and methods. Meanwhile, the western medicine should be simply excluded, other than simply compare a TCM syndrome to a physiological and biochemical indicator of western medicine.

Academe hash't got the same view about science attribute of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)up to now.This article demonstrates the scientific attribute of the traditional Chinese medicine from the nature of science,the seientific attribute of medical science and the relationship between the traditional Chinese medicine and medical science.TCM needs development.In order to develop the traditional Chinese medicine quickly,on the basis of inheriting tradition,we should make the best use of modem scientific technology.Not simply copy the theories and methods of western medicine but using the scientific measurement to build up the measurement of TCM symptoms,the relationship between symptoms and the change of the body,explore the process of physiology and pathology,and combine with western medicine to develop a mature science-medical science.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and changes of the patients with colorectal polyps in the recent 5 years of the Central Hospital of Jiangjin district.Methods Inpatients and outpatients with colorectal polyps found by colonoscopy were collected from January 2011 to December 2015 in Central Hospital of of Jiangjin district.Index of each patient's gender,age,the location,size,number and pathological results of each enrolled.Then the data were analyzed statistically.Results Patients with colorectal polyps in the ratio of male to female was 1.56:1(P＜0.05),middle and old aged group multiple (compared with the young group,P＜0.05);left half colon accounted for 53.0 ％ (P＜0.05),48.0 ％ of them were single shot,diameter≤ 1 cm accounted for most.Adenomatous polyp accounted for 71.0％,most of them were tubular adenoma (54.0％).29.9％ of patients with colorectal polyps had abdominal pain,29.0 ％ changed in bowel habits and traits,only 6.7 ％ of the patients had typical hematochezia.Conclusion According to the anlysis results there's no obvious changes happened on the clinical features of colorectal polyps in the past 5 years.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical features and prognostic factors of occult breast cancer. MethodsThe clinical features and prognostic factors of 62 occult breast cancer patients,who were treated in Tianjin Cancer Hospital from October 1997 to October 2011,were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe 3-year,5-year and 10-year overall survival rates of 62 cases were 87.4％,76.4％,73.2％ respectively,a median of 53 months.The 3-,5-,and 10-year overall survival rates of the patients with ＞4 positive lymph nodes are lower than that of patients with ≤4 nodes (77.8％,64.8％,38.9％ vs.90.7％,86.7％,86.7％,P =0.015 ) ;The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates of patients with primary cancer found in removed breast tissue are lower than that in those primary tumor was not found (60.0％,40.0％,40.0％ vs.92.0％,83.6％,79.2％,P =0.023).The 3-year,5-year and 10-year overall survival rates in patients with recurrence and metastasis are lower than that of patients without (63.5％,28.6％,19.0％ vs.97.1％,97.1 ％,97.1％,P =0.000). ConclusionsThe prognosis of occult breast cancer is related with the number of positive lymph node,pathology,recurrence and metastasis.

Objective To investigate whether quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced MR can predict final pathologic response in primary breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).Methods Forty seven patients who were pathologically proved infiltrating ductal carcinoma with core needle puncture biopsy were examined before NAC and after 2 cycles of treatment and the quantitative parameters (Ktrans,Kep and Ve) were analyzed prospectively.Histological response is categorized as non-major histological response (NMHR) and major histological response (MHR).Quantitative parameter changes measured after 2 cycles of NAC were compared between MHR and NMHR using non parametric tests (Mann-Whitney U test) and pretreatment parameters were compared using independent samples t tests.Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to determine the best predictor and cutoff value.Results Fifteen patients were grouped into MHR and 32 patients were NMHR.Pretreatment parameters(Ktrans,Kep and Ve) were(1.51 ±0.33) /min,(2.97 ± 1.06) /min and (0.55 ±0.16) in MHR and (1.53 ±0.40) /min,(2.82 ± 0.99) /min and (0.57 ± 0.20) in NMHR.There was no significant difference between the two groups (t values were-0.123,0.450 and-0.380,respectively,P ＞ 0.05).Changes inkinetic parameters(K,Kep and Ve) were-88.2％ (-96.0％ to 1.5％),-62.5％ (-94.3％ to -8.7％) and-57.0％(-82.1％ to 55.5％) in MHRand-8.1％(-88.5％ to 32.4％),-18.2％ (-62.1％ to 145.9％) and-4.7％ (-83.1％ to 95.7％) in NMHR.There were significant difference between the two groups (Z values were 4.359,4.359 and 3.332,respectively,P ＜ 0.01).The areas under ROC curve of AKtrans,AKep and Ktrans after 2 cycles of NAC were all 0.898.Sensitivity of the three parameters for predicting NMHR were 87.5％,90.6％ and 78.1％,and specificity were 86.7％,80.0％ and 93.3％,respectively.Conclusion Quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced MRI can predict final pathologic response in primary breast cancers after 2 cycles of NAC.

Objective Searching for natural anticariogenic agent has become a focus at home and abroad.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Yili dark bee propolis on the main cariogenic bacteria . Methods ①The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Yili dark bee propolis on oral common cariogenic bacteria was detected by the liquid diffusion method.②The four different con-centrations lower than MIC were used to confect culture media with pH 7.0 and the normal culture media was used as control group .The pH and the changes of pH (ΔpH) were evaluated to detect the effect of Yili dark bee propolis on acid producing ability of tested bacteria .③The effects of propolis on extracellular polysaccharides synthesis of S.mutans and A.viscosus were evaluated by anthrone method. Results①The MIC of Yili dark bee propolis on S.mutans, S.sobrinus, S.sanguis, L.acidophilus, A.viscosus and A.naeslundii were 0.78, 0.39, 1.56, 0.39, 0.2, 0.2 mg/mL, respectively.The minimum bactericidal concentrations were 1.56, 0.78, 3.125, 0.78, 0.39 and 0.39 mg/mL.②The propolis could decrease theΔpH of tested bacteria, and the differences between propolis groups and control group were statis-tically significant (P<0.05).③The propolis could reduce the ability of S.m and A.viscosus synthtic extracellular polysaccharides at MIC, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Yili propolis could inhibit the growth, acid producing ability and polysac-charides synthesis of the main cariogenic bacteria to some extent, and it could be deemed as a natural anticariogenic agent.
