[Objective]We have made the entity model of human being injured irregular bone model by using rapid prototyping technogy,and discussed the value and prospect of rapid prototyping technology in clinical orthopedics.[Method]This group included 23 cases:15 cases of calcaneus fracture,4 cases of fracture of tibial plateau,2 cases of fracture of first lumbar vertebral body,1 case of scapula fracture,1 case of dysplasia and aseptic necrosis of femoral head.According to the data gotten from CT tomographic scan of 23 cases which had fracture of irregular bone,we made the entity model of bone injury using professional software and equipment,and put it into clinic practice to study the state of illness and tried to assist the operative treatment.[Result]Application of rapid prototyping technology helped to study the state of illness and assisted the operative treatment,and brang on a new mechanism of the trauma and operative methods.By using it we also shortened the operative time and reduced the hemorrhage in the operation,and improved the rate of success in the first operation in order to avoid the second operation.All these cases have received good treatment effects.[Conclusion]The rapid prototyping technology has broad prospect in clinical orthopedics.

Objective To observe the effects of cryptotanshinone (CTS) on cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms in the rat liver microsomes. Method The rats were randomized into six groups according to the body weight, 3 rats in each group. CTS groups were treated with CTS at the doses of 20~540 mg/kg per day for 10 days, and the negative control group was treated with 10 mL/kg hydroxylpropyl-β-cyclodextrin solution. The positive group was injected with β-NF(80 mg/kg) intraperitoneally on the 7th day, and all the animals were sacrificed by decapitation on the 10th day after last dose. The liver was got out for the preparation of liver microsomes. The activities of six kinds of CYP isoforms were detected by cocktail in-vitro incubation method. Besides, the expression level of CYP isoforms mRNA and protein in rat liver was analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western-blotting assay, respectively. Results CTS significantly increased the ac-tivity of CYP1A2 in a dose-dependent manner. In CTS groups at the dosages of 20~540 mg/kg, the activity of CYP1A2 was 60 %~430 % higher, CYP1A2 protein expression level was 130 %~320 % higher, and CYP1A2 mRNA expression level was 10 %~150 % higher than that of the negative control group. CTS had no effect on other kinds of CYP isoforms. Conclu-sion CTS can induce hepatic microsome CYP1A2 expression significantly, which indicates potential drug-drug interaction might occurred when CTS is co-administrated with those drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.

Background & Objective: Early life stresses, such as social isolation, have lasting effects on the
development of emotion and behavior, in which vasopressin plays important roles. This study aimed
to assess the possible association of central release of vasopressin with social isolation. Methods:
The social isolation model was performed in male mice who endured 6-week social isolation after
weaning. Vasopressin expression in the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN) was measured
with immunohistochemistry. Released vasopressin from PVN was measured with radioimmunoassay.
Results: Vasopressin immunoreactive cells number decreased in the PVN, medial parvocellular division
in social isolation-reared mice, compared to the group-reared counterparts. Social isolation decreased
short social exposure-induced vasopressin release from PVN. Isolation-reared mice exhibited anxiogenic
profile and difficulty in social recognition.
Conclusions: This study provides new evidence for the important role of vasopressin in the development
of emotional and social behaviors.

Objective To investigate the effects of hippocampal neurogenesis in spatial learning and memory,especially in spatial long-term memory.Methods Totally 24 wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups:normal control group (NC group,n =12) and irradiation group (IRR group,n =12).We use low-dose irradiation at subgranular zone to inhibit adult hippocampal neurogenesis and new neurons were investigated by 5-Bromo-2-deoxyUridine/neuron specific nuclear protein double-labeling.Four weeks after irradiation,Morris water maze,including navigation test and space exploration assay,was used to detect spatial leaming and memory.Then,in the day 8 and day 15 after the navigation test,space exploration assay was repeated to detect spatial long-term memory.The expression levels of postsynaptic density protein 95 and synaptophysin were evaluated using western blot and real-time quantitative PCR.Results Hippocampal neurogenesis was inhibited by low dose irradiation(2.80 ± 0.44 vs 23.50 ± 1.12,t =20.21,P < 0.01).After the inhibition,the escape latency did not change,while the time spent in target quadrant was significantly declined in the day 2((14.76 ±.2.04) s vs (20.47 ± 1.29) s),day 8((11.95 ± 1.34) s vs (19.52±1.43) s)and day 15((11.79 ±1.35) s vs (21.58 ±1.07) s) after the navigation test (t=2.45,P<0.05; t =3.76,P<0.01; t =5.39,P<0.01).The postsynaptic density protein 95 and synaptophysin expressions were significantly decreased in IRR group.As to the RNA levels,there was also a significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion Hippocampal neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus plays an important role for the formation of spatial long-term memory.

Objective To observe the effects of thymosin alpha-1 on T cell subsets and gastricintestinal reac-tion of patients with gastricintestinal tumor. Methods Twenty patients with gastricintestinal tumor were divided into two groups, observe group(n = 10) received thymosin alpha-1 during chemotherapy, and control group(n = 10) only received chemotherapy, T cell subsets and gastricintestinal reaction were observed. Results Before chemotherapy, CD+4,CD+8 and CD+4/CD+8 of observe group were(43.7±7.5),(27.3±2.8) and (1.5±0.1), and control group were (39.4±6.3), (30.9±2.5) and (1.2±0.6). There was significant difference between them (P < 0.05). After chemotherapy, CD+4, CD+8 and NK cell were (40.6±6.8)、( 29.7±2.6) and (19.1±2.7), control group (35.9±5.7), (33.4±2.4) and (18.6±2.3). There was significant difference between them (P < 0.05). Effec-tive ratio of nausea and vomit of observe group were 72.5% and 60.0%, control group 40.0% and 33.3%, There were significant differences between them(P <0.05). Conclusion Thymosin alpha-1 may ameliorate the function of T cell subsets and gastricintestinal reaction of patients with gastricintestinal tumor.

For more than 40 years primary hepatocytes culture technique has been utilized extensively for assessing effects of drug on metabolizing enzymes (especially cytochromes P450), drug metabolism, drug-drug interactions, and the mechanisms of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. Human derived primary hepatocytes reserve the metabolism function and enzyme activity of liver. Therefore, this technique has been widely used as a reliable and efficient tool in the drug and xenobiotics evaluation and screen in vitro. This review focuses on primary culture technique of hepatocytes and its application in drug metabolism and toxicology research and evaluation.
