Objective: To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of free transfer of Abductor hallucis muscle plus anastomosis of blood vessels and nerves for dynamic reanimation of the established facial paralysis. Methods: Twenty-eight patients who received the above-mentioned treatment during March 1999 to November 2006 were followed up. The follow-up period was 1 to 16 years, with a median period of 4 years. The facial pictures of frontal view were analyzed before and after operation. T-FGS and facial nerve function index (FNFI) were used to evaluate the facial nerve function before and after operation. Meanwhile, the survival of the graft, the width of the face, the scar, and the function of the foot were analyzed and compared. Results: All patients obtained satisfactory symmetric faces in static state and voluntary contraction of the transferred muscles. Twenty-two patients obtained ideal smiling faces. The T-FGS score increased by (27±7.2) points and the score of FNFI increased by (57± 10.7)% after transplantation (P<0.05). Furthermore, the scars on the face were well concealed and there was no functional impairment in the donor loots. Conclusion: Free transfer of abductor hallucis muscle plus anastomosis of blood vessels and nerves has satisfactory long term outcome in dynamic reanimation of established facial paralysis, without functional impairment to the donor foot and is worth of popularizing.

Objective: To investigate the cultural and psychological adaptation of business expatriates in the Chinese mainland. Methods: The questionnaires included sociocultural adaptation questionnaire and psychological adaptation questionnaire. Results: The construct of sociocultural adaptation could be divided into three dimensions: living conditions, interaction and communication, and cognition and value system. The sociocultural adaptation pattern showed a double-U-curve and the psychological adaptation pattern showed a decreasing tendency by time. There was no significant discrepancy in sociocultural adaptation across cultural distance. Conclusion: The cultural and psychological adaptation is difficult for business expatriates in China. The reasons perhaps include insufficient cultural training and improper training time.

Dual source CT is a kind of 64 slices CT including two acquisition systems. It possesses such advantages as higher SNR of images,higher resolution of time,lower dose of radiation,bigger FOV of scanning,wider coverage of scanning and dual enrage subtraction imaging,etc. Weather these advantages could be brought into full play has great relationship with the preparations of dual source CT before its installation. The corresponding discussion is made in this text to see how to make preparations for dual source CT in different aspects such as room building,surrounding background,power supply,fire protection,radiation protection and periphery,etc.

Objective To investigate the expression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2) and transforming growth factor ?1(TGF-?1) in heart of spontaneous hypertensive rat.Methods The expression of ERK1/2 and TGF-?1 was determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results In arteriole of the heart of 8,16,and 20 week-old SHR,the rate of positive ERK1/2 staining at the endothelium(15.38%,76.97% and 72.72%,respectively) and at the vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC) of 16 and 20 week-old SHR(5.49% and 6.83%,respectively)were significantly higher than that of control group(P

Objective To observe the branches and distribution of the tibial nerve and analyze the compressed position of it.Methods Twenty sides of adult cadavers were anatomized and the tibial nerve branches in ankle,foot,the internal and external plantar tunnel were observed.Correlated data was measured and recorded.Results ① The tendinous part of abductor hallucis muscle that was located under the muscle and consisted the surface of the internal and external plantar tunnel was(8.62?0.79)cm in length,(3.01?0.30)cm in width,and the thickness of it was about(0.24?0.02)cm.The internal and external nerves were located in the internal and external tunnel.The length of the internal tunnel was about(4.58?0.41)cm,and the diameter was(1.11?0.10)cm.The length of the external tunnel was about(2.58?0.23)cm,the diameter was about(0.96?0.08)cm.② Internal hell nerve was in an isolated tunnel interior the hell,which was the hell tunnel.The length of the hell tunnel was about(3.03?0.21)cm,the diameter was(1.07?0.09)cm.Conclusion The tibial nerve branches can be compressed at internal,external plantar tunnel or the heel tunnel.When making neurolysis of the tibial nerve for tarsal tunnel syndrome patients,except for the flexor retinaculum,the internal and external plantar tunnel and the hell tunnel should also be decompressed especially for the patients with the symptom of compressed single branch.

Objective To observe the value of the corresponding solutions for MRI static magnetic field artifacts after analyzing their generating mechanism.Methods Different solutions was used to eliminate static magnetic field artifacts,such as improving inner and outer background,calibrating software and hardware,editing parameters,instructing patients,etc.in scanning patients or phantom with Siemens Impact 1.0T and GE Signa 1.5T MR by the use of SE or GRE sequences.Results Static magnetic field artifacts were controlled to different extent and the quality of the mass MR images were improved.Conclusion Most static magnetic field artifacts can be eliminated completely or reduced by using corresponding solutions,so more corrective information can be provided to clinic.

Objective Aimed at the problems that the costs of existing ECG data compression methods is high,and they are difficult to apply in engineering practice,a sort BP neural network is set up based on ECG data compression method.Methods Based on BP network theory,two three-layered feedforward neural networks were set up.Then every one heartbeat was divided into three waves,that is,P,QRS and T ones,and the three waves were compressed by two three-layered feedforward neural network individually.In order to improve the replay capability and interference rejection capability of the neural network compress algorithm,incompletely connected structure is employed.Results The method could realize high compress ratio,and improve the replay capability and interference rejection capability of the heartbeat waves.Conclusion Upon with the heartbeat signals,the method can filter and compress waves effectively,and can be used in engineering practice as well.
