Objective To study the relationship between cerebral vascular disease (CVD) and meteorological factors. Methods From 1998 to 2002, 6186 patients with CVD in Qingdao urban were studied. There were 1179 cases of intracerebral hemorrhage (CH), 4821cases of cerebral infarction (CI) and 186 cases of subarachnoid hemorrage (SAH). The relationship between the onset of CVD and meteorological factors including temperature, air pressure, relative humidity, wind velocity was analyzed by circular distribution analysis, Pearson correlation and multiple stepwise regression. Results High incidence of CH was found in winter and the mean angle was in January ((P

Objective To seek the specific receptors associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) adhesion by separating the binding protein of the HBV preS1 region in HepG2 and performing the mass spectrometry .Methods The immunomagnetic bead method was adopted to separate HepG2 membrane protein combined with preS1 peptide fragment and the binding protein was separated by the sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) ,then the destination strips was analyzed by LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry and retrieved by the database .Results 16 bands were separated from HepG2 membrane proteins combined with preS1 by SDS-PAGE ;14 kinds of proteins were identified from 6 bands with better repeatability separated from HepG 2 membrane proteins combined with preS1 .Conclusion Protein analyzed by the mass spectrometry is mainly related with the material transport , cellular signal transduction ,antigen presentation ,immune regulation and energy metabolism .

Objective To analyze the characteristics, surgical timing and treatment of middle super thoracic fractures. Methods 35 cases of middle super thoracic fractures (T1 10) were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 25 cases were complete injury of the spinal cord and 10 cases were neurologically incomplete injury. The bleeding in operations at different times, the ASIA grades and the sensorimotor scores were analyzed. Results The follow up showed that the ASIA grade increased by 1 to 2 degrees in 10 cases of incomplete spinal cord injury, while in complete spinal cord injury the ASIA grades hardly increased but the sense and motion scores could be improved by about 20. Conclusions Middle super thoracic fractures often involve multi vertebra body, and the spinal cord is injured severely. Decompression, fusion, internal fixation from posterior approach can obtain a satisfactory result. Neurologically incomplete injury should be treated as soon as possible, while complete injury of the spinal cord should be treated around 2 weeks after the injury.

To lay a foundation for the type selection of the ambulance helicopter. The type selection was explored from the aspects of platform selection, rescue environment and service requirements, analyzing the rescue in the helicopter and the tendency of the ambulance helicopter in foreign countries and China. The types of the am-bulance helicopter were determined as the specific and modified ambulances, with the considerations such as operation environment, flight performance, cabin structure, onboard equipment, cabin configuration, fixation device and protection. Specific ambulance helicopter is supposed to be based on small- or mediate-sized platform, while the modi-fied ambulance helicopter is supposed to be based on large or heavy platform.

Objective To study the developmental patterns and aging characteristics of anterior sacral foramina and posterior sacral forami-na in adolescents aging from 12 to 18 years old through CT imaging scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction measurement,and to provide the anatomical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of sacral vertebra diseases.Methods The 30 adolescents without any the problems of nerv-ous system were selected to conduct 64-slice spiral CT in the pelvic cavity.The original data were input into three-dimensional reconstruction software Mimics with the form of DICOM,and the relevant indicators were measured and analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in the height,width and distance of inner edge of anterior sacral foramina and the posterior sacral foramina in different gender and sides (P >0.05).The physical development of human increases gradually with age and there were significant differences.Conclusion There is a regular change process in the relevant indicators of anterior sacral foramina and posterior sacral foramina in adolescents.But the clinical appli-cation must be combined with the results of individual imaging,the technology of reverse engineering and the support of rapid prototype manu-facturing so as to meet the satisfactory results of individualized treatment.

It has been well known that apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest are typical biological effects observed in cancer cells after proteasome inhibition. TH2 is a new natural xanthone analogue isolated from the resin of Garcinia hurburyi tree. Here, the cell growth inhibition of TH2 on human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (Bel-7402) was evaluated in vitro using SRB assay. The treatment of 10 ?mol/L TH2 reduced the surviving fraction from 86% (12 h) to 17.2% (48 h). To assess whether TH2 induce apoptosis, the appearance of sub-G1 peak, a specific fraction for apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry analysis. Progressive increase in the percentage of apoptotic population was observed in a dose-and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, a cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a marker of early apoptosis, was observed clearly when the cells exposed to 10 ?mol/L of TH2 for 24 h by immunoblotting analysis. In vitro activities of 20 S proteasome purified from human erythrocytes on fluorogenic peptide substrates revealed that TH2 inhibited the trypsin-like, chymotrypsin-like and peptidylglutamyl peptide hydrolyzing activities in dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the turnover of tumor suppressor p53, a sign of deregulation of cell cycle progression and apoptosis induction by classical proteasome inhibitors, was disrupted in Bel-7402 cells. All these data indicate that TH2 had inhibitory effect on the proliferation of Bel-7402 cells and induction of apoptosis, which might be related to its inhibition of proteasome.
