Eleven measurements of human up palates from two hundred invividuals were analyzed by the discriminant analysis in order to determine sex.Statistical analysis of the up palate measurements on the sexual dimorphism showed that ten measurements have sex difference(P

By observing the changes in LDH、AST、CHE、K、Na+ contents in supernatant of cultured rat pituitary cells after electromagnetic pulse (EMP) irradiation the injury mechanism to pituitary cells was explored. Pituitary cells of Wistar rat was cultured in 6-hole plates. The cells in five plates were irradiated with high field strength EMP ( electromagnetic pulse) for 5 times within 2 minutes. The electromagnetic pulse simulator provided a high electric field intensity of 60 KV/m, with rise time 20-nsec and pulse wide 30/?S. Contents of LDH, AST, CHE, K+ and Na+ in the supernatant were measured using reagent boxes (Beijing Zhongsheng High-tech Bioengineering Company) at Oh, 1h, 6h, 12h and 24h following irradiation, respeetively. All data were analyzed by statistical software Spss 8. 0. The results showed that LDH and CHE contents in the supernatant increased significantly at Oh after irradiation with EMP (P 0. 05). Our conclusion is EMP could injure membranes of pituitary cells.

By observing apoptosis and morphological changes in primary culture of neurons from cerebellar granular layer, the neurons were irradiated with EMP (electromagnetic pulses), the possible injury mechanism was explored. The changes in death and apoptosis of the neurons were detected by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. The slides stained with HE and TUNNEL were examined with light and fluorescence microscopy. The results showed that not only death of the neurons occurred immediately, but also apoptosis appeared after irradiation with EMP. Our conclusion is EMP can promote necrosis and apoptosis of neurons from cerebellar granular layer at early stage, which may result from DNA injury induced by EMP.

The pathological changes of pulmonary fat emdoiksm were studied in ratsby means of an intravenous injection with autosnbcutaneous fat.The resultsshowed that most fat ernboli appeared in pulmonary arterioles and capillariesafter 24 hours.By 4 days,large number of sudan Ⅲ-positive emboli were seenthroughout the lungs.The inflammatory cellular infiltration including the histoc-ytes,macrophages,polymorphonuclear leucocytes and occasional eosinophils,pulmonary edema and focal hemorrhage were observed.After 7 days,most fatemboli disappeared.No fat embolism in other organs was found.

Objective To study the feasibility and security about misoprostol combined with fentanyl and propofol applied in visualization of artificial abortion.Methods 1270 cases of pregnant women who requested termination of pregnancy and voluntarily accepted abortion were selected.In the observe group,634 cases of pregnant women received oral misoprostol about 600 mg 90 minutes before surgery.After anesthetized by fentanyl and propofol,painless artificial abortion using visual abortion instrument was carried out.In the control group,636 cases of pregnant women anesthetized by fentanyl and propofol via the venous were carried out artificial abortion.The degree of cervical relaxation,loss of blood,total dose of propofol,surgical time,recovery time,the incidence of abortion complications and so on were observed.Results In the observation group and the control group,the average dosage of propofol are( 14.15 ± 2.37) ml and (16.90 ± 4.52) ml respectively;The average time required for surgery are ( 146.1 ± 38.2) s and ( 199.7 ± 37.3 ) s respectively;the average time required for awakening are ( 6.01 ± 1.90 ) min and ( 8.81 ± 2.02 )in;In the observation group,there are 405 ( 63.9% ) cases of cervical laxity markedly,in the control group,including 145 ( 22.8% ) cases of cervical laxity markedly,there is statistical significance ( P ＜ 0.05 ) between the observation group and the control group.There are no abortion syndrome in both groups.Conclusion Misoprostol combined with fentanyl and propofol was the first choice for painless artificial abortion using ultrasound visualization.

Objective To evaluate normal maturation of the fetal brain with half-Fourier rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement(RARE) MRI.Methods The normal brains of 25 fetuses of 12-38 weeks gestational age were examined in utero with half-Fourier RARE imaging.Gyrus maturation,gray and white matter differentiation,ventricle-to-brain diameter ratio,and subarachnoid space size were evaluated with respect to gestational age.Results At 12-23 weeks,the brain had a smooth surface,and two or three layers were differentiated in the cerebral cortex.At 24-26 weeks,only a few shallow grooves were seen in the central sulcus,and three layers,including the immature cortex,intermediate zone,and germinal matrix,were differentiated in all fetuses.At 27-29 weeks,sulcus formation was observed in various regions of the brain parenchyma,and the germinal matrix became invisible.Sulcation was seen in the whole cerebral cortex from 30 weeks on.However,the cortex did not undergo infolding,and opercular formation was not seen before 33 weeks.At 23 weeks and earlier,the cerebral ventricles were large;thereafter,they gradually became smaller.The subarachnoid space overlying the cortical convexities was slightly dilated at all gestational ages,most markedly at 21-26 weeks.Conclusion Changes in brain maturation proceed through stages in an orderly and predictable fashion and can be evaluated reliably with half-Fourier RARE MRI.

Proteomic analysis of core needle biopsy (CNB) sample from patient populations is critical to our understanding of human disease,but has been hindered by its particular small size.Here,we present a method for the proteomic analysis of CNB sample based on the two dimensional electrophoresis.Proteins were extracted directly from 3 rat liver CNB specimens and a human prostate CNB sample.respectively.24 cm Immobiline DryStrip (pH 3-10NL) and 12.5% SDS-PAGE were introduced to separate the proteins.Interesting spots were analyzed by MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometry after tryptic digestion.With this method,consistent electrophoretic patterns of more than 2 500 protein spots were reproducibly obtained after silver staining,from rat liver CNB specimens.Qualitatively and quantitatively reproducible results also yield when the method was applied to a human prostate CNB sample.57 stochastically selected protein spots were analyzed by MALDI TOF/TOF moss spectrometry.and were identified with high confidence including faint ones.This simple and reproducible approach raises the opportunity of defining key molecular events of human disease pathologies.

BACKGROUND:The displacement change parameters of the bone structure of the first metatarsal bone at the two-dimensional level of hallux valgus deformity are of great significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment,while the quantitative analysis of the three-dimensional deformity index may have some influences on the postoperative efficacy. OBJECTIVE:To explore the quantitative change of the three-dimensional deformity index of the first metatarsal bone after routine osteotomy and orthosis for hallux valgus deformity and to provide reference for clinical work. METHODS:100 patients with hallux valgus deformity(foot)in Hengshui People's Hospital from October 2020 to April 2023 were selected and all of them underwent conventional osteotomy and orthosis.Foot function was assessed by the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale 6 months after surgery.Anterolateral X-rays of the foot in weight-bearing position and CT images in simulated weight-bearing position were taken before surgery and 6 months after surgery.The three-dimensional deformity indexes of the first metatarsal bone before and after surgery were quantitatively analyzed in patients with different ages,genders and therapeutic effects,including first-second intermetatarsal angle,hallux valgus angle,distal metatarsal articular angle,tibial sesamaid position,and first metatarsal rotation α angle.The value of the difference of three-dimensional deformity indexes of the first metatarsal bone before and after operation in evaluating the curative effect was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Six months after operation,the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society score was 75-98(88.25±4.14)points,among which 56 cases were excellent,28 cases were good,14 cases were average,and 2 cases were poor.The excellent and good rate was 84%(84/100).(2)Compared with the preoperative results,first-second intermetatarsal angle,hallux valgus angle,distal metatarsal articular angle,tibial sesamaid position,and first metatarsal rotation α angle were significantly improved in patients of different ages and genders 6 months after surgery(P<0.05).First-second intermetatarsal angle,hallux valgus angle,distal metatarsal articular angle,tibial sesamaid position,and first metatarsal rotation α angle were all lower in patients with good curative effect 6 months after surgery than those with poor curative effect,and the difference before and after surgery was greater than those with poor curative effect(P<0.05).(3)The area under the curve of the difference evaluation of the first metatarsal three-dimensional deformity index before and after surgery was above 0.7,and the area under the curve of the combined evaluation of all indexes was the largest(0.902),which was significantly greater than the first metatarsal rotation α angle and distal metatarsal articular angle(P<0.05).(4)The quantitative analysis of the three-dimensional deformity index of the first metatarsal in patients with hallux valgus deformity is related to the postoperative effect,which has important guiding significance for improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of preoperative evaluation and improving the treatment plan.

Objective? To investigate the leadership status of new nurses, and to provide some reference for the training and education of new nurses and efficient quality nursing service. Methods? In September 2018, a total of 129 new nurses from a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital were randomly recruited by convenience sampling method. Questionnaire survey was conducted to compare the difference of leadership among new nurses with different characteristics by General Information Questionnaire and Nurse Leadership Questionnaire. A total of 129 questionnaires were sent out and 125 valid questionnaires were collected. Results? The average leadership score of the 125 new nurses was (3.59±0.67). The score of nursing professional ability dimension was the highest (3.73±0.64), and the score of critical thinking ability dimension was the lowest (3.47±0.71). The scores of five dimensions of interpersonal communication ability, communication ability, critical thinking ability, planning and organizing ability and self-care ability of new nurses of different genders in the nurse leadership questionnaire were compared, and the differences were statistically significant (t=-3.950,-3.145,-3.389,-3.451,-2.179;P＜0.05). The difference in critical thinking ability score of new nurses with different marital status was statistically significant (t=3.235,P＜ 0.01). Conclusions? The overall level of leadership status of new nurses is low. It is suggested that in the standardized training and education of newly recruited nurses, early education and training of career leadership should be emphasized, and the strengths of different groups of nurses should be brought into play, so as to improve their professional value and quality service.

Tung tree (Vernicia fordii) is an economically important woody oil plant that produces tung oil rich in eleostearic acid. Here, we report a high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence of tung tree. The genome sequence was assembled by combining Illumina short reads, Pacific Bio-sciences single-molecule real-time long reads, and Hi-C sequencing data. The size of tung tree gen-ome is 1.12 Gb, with 28,422 predicted genes and over 73％ repeat sequences. The V. fordii underwent an ancient genome triplication event shared by core eudicots but no further whole-genome duplication in the subsequent ca. 34.55 million years of evolutionary history of the tung tree lineage. Insertion time analysis revealed that repeat-driven genome expansion might have arisen as a result of long-standing long terminal repeat retrotransposon bursts and lack of efficient DNA deletion mechanisms. The genome harbors 88 resistance genes encoding nucleotide-binding sites;17 of these genes may be involved in early-infection stage of Fusarium wilt resistance. Further, 651 oil-related genes were identified, 88 of which are predicted to be directly involved in tung oil biosynthesis. Relatively few phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase genes, and synergistic effectsbetween transcription factors and oil biosynthesis-related genes might contribute to the high oil content of tung seed. The tung tree genome constitutes a valuable resource for understanding genome evolution, as well as for molecular breeding and genetic improvements for oil production.
