As an important component of judicial expertise, forensic science is broad and highly specialized. With development of network technology, increasement of information resources, and improvement of people's legal consciousness, forensic scientists encounter many new problems, and have been required to meet higher evidentiary standards in litigation. In view of this, evidence-based concept should be established in forensic medicine. We should find the most suitable method in forensic science field and other related area to solve specific problems in the evidence-based mode. Evidence-based practice can solve the problems in legal medical field, and it will play a great role in promoting the progress and development of forensic science. This article reviews the basic theory of evidence-based medicine and its effect, way, method, and evaluation in the forensic medicine in order to discuss the application value of forensic evidence-based medicine in computer communication networks.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the reason and strategy for failure of posterior pedicle screw short-segment internal fixation on thoracolumbar fractures.

METHODSFrom March 2008 to December 2010,the clinical data of 18 patients with thoracolumbar fracture failed in posterior pedicle screw short-segment internal fixation were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 7 females with an average age of 37.2 years (ranged, 19 to 63). The time from the first operation to complication occurrence was from 6 to 44 months with an average of 14.3 months. Of them,fusion failure was in 7 cases (combined with screw breakage in 4 cases), the progressive neuro-dysfunction was in 5 cases,the progressive lumbodorsal pain was in 6 cases. All 18 patients with kyphosis were treated with anterior internal fixation remaining posterior fixation (9 cases) and anterior internal fixation after posterior fixation removal (9 cases).

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up from 18 to 50 months with an average of 30.5 months. No intetnal fixation loosening and breakage were found, moreover, X-ray and lamellar CT showed bone healing well. Preoperative, postoperative at 3 months and at final follow-up, ODI score was respectively 31.6+/-5.1, 8.6+/-5.7, 8.3+/-3.2; VAS score was respectively 7.2+/-2.3, 2.3+/-0.7, 2.1+/-1.1; kyphosis angle was respectively (-21.2/-+7.8 degreeso, (-5.3+/-6.8 degrees ), (-5.8+/-7.8 )degrees. Compared with preoperative data ,above-listed items had obviously ameliorated(P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONTreatment of thoracolumbar fracture with posterior pedicle screw short-segment internal fixation may result in the complications such as bone nonunion ,internal fixation breakage and progressive kyphosis. Anterior reconstruction may be a good strategy for the failure of posterior operation.

We applied Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC) combined with brain electrical activity mapping (BEAM) to study the change of alertness under sleep deprivation in our research. Ten subjects were involved in 36 hours sleep deprivation (SD), during which spontaneous electroencephalogram (EEG) experiments and auditory evoked EEG experiments-Oddball were recorded once every 6 hours. Spontaneous and evoked EEG data were calculated and BEAMs were structured. Results showed that during the 36 hours of SD, alertness could be divided into three stages, i. e. the first 12 hours as the high stage, the middle 12 hours as the rapid decline stage and the last 12 hours as the low stage. During the period SD, LZC of Spontaneous EEG decreased over the whole brain to some extent, but remained consistent with the subjective scales. By BEAMs of event related potential, LZC on frontal cortex decreased, but kept consistent with the behavioral responses. Therefore, LZC can be effective to reflect the change of brain alertness. At the same time LZC could be used as a practical index to monitor real-time alertness because of its simple computation and fast calculation.

ObjectiveTo study the chromosome genetic changes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with double exposure to hepatitis B virus/aflatoxin B1 (HBV/AFB1) in Guangxi.Method Differences in genomic alterations in 32 patients with HCC were analyzed using comparative genomic hybridization(CGH).Results(1) The majority of chromosome copy number in the 32 HCC samples had varying degrees of change.The amplification of chromosome regions were 1q,7q,8q,with the high frequency regions being 1q,8q.The deletion of chromosome regions were 1p,4q,8p,9p,13q,14q,16p,16q,17p,18q,19p,Y,with the high frequency regions being 1p,4q,8p,16q,17p,19p;(2) There were also some high copy number amplification or deletion of small regions,such as 2p25.1-p25.2,3q22.3-q23,7p14.1-p14.3,and 9p13.2-9p21; (3) Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that the rate of deletion of chromosome 13q decreased progressively in the following 4 groups:-HBsAg(+)/AFB1 (+),HBsAg(+)/AFB1 (-),HBsAg( - )/AFB1 ( + ),and HBsAg( - )/AFB1 (-) (x2=6.452,P＜0.05).4p was found mainly to be amplified in the HBsAg(+)/AFB1(-)group,but it was mainly deleted in the HBsAg(-)/AFB1(+),and HBsAg( - )/AFB1(-) groups.19q was found mainly to be amplified in the HBsAg(+)/AFB1(+) group,but it was mainly deleted in the HBsAg(-)/AFB1(+),and HBsAg(-)/AFB1(-) groups.ConclusionThe chromosome genetic changes of HCC in Guangxi showed multiplicity.The deletion of chromosome 19p,2p25.1-25.2,3q22.3-q23,7p14.1-p14.3 and amplification of chromosome 9p13.2-9p21 are probably unique genetic characteristics of HCC in this region.The combined effects of Hepatitis B virus and aflatoxin B1 may contribute to deletion of chromosome 13q of HCC in Guangxi.

A permeabilization method of Micrococcus cells has been established. The obtained penneabilized cells could be used for several batches and in the mean time the intracellular enzymes still keep high activity. This method will undoubtedly increase the productivity of the cells and cut down the cost; therefore, it will be a promising way in the treha-lose industrialization. The experiment shows: after being treated with 5% (v/v) methylbenzene for 40min, the cells in suspension were converted into permeabilized cells, then the latter acted on 10% liquefied starch to produce trehaloae, the conversion ratio could reach 70%. The penneabilized cells could be used at least for 6 batchs (12h per batch) and the intracellular enzyme activity kept steady.

Vigilance is defined as the ability to maintain attention for prolonged periods of time. In order to explore the variation of brain vigilance in work process, we designed addition and subtraction experiment with numbers of three digits to induce the vigilance to change, combined it with psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) to measure this process of electroencephalogram (EEG), extracted and analyzed permutation entropy (PE) of 11 cases of subjects' EEG and made a brief comparison with nonlinear parameter sample entropy (SE). The experimental results showed that: PE could well reflect the dynamic changes of EEG when vigilance decreases, and has advantages of fast arithmetic speed, high noise immunity, and low requirements for EEG length. This can be used as a measure of the brain vigilance indicators.

Mental fatigue is an important factor of human health and safety. It is important to achieve dynamic mental fatigue detection by using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals for fatigue prevention and job performance improvement. We in our study induced subjects' mental fatigue with 30 h sleep deprivation (SD) in the experiment. We extracted EEG features, including relative power, power ratio, center of gravity frequency (CGF), and basic relative power ratio. Then we built mental fatigue prediction model by using regression analysis. And we conducted lead optimization for prediction model. Result showed that R2 of prediction model could reach to 0.932. After lead optimization, 4 leads were used to build prediction model, in which R' could reach to 0.811. It can meet the daily applicatioi accuracy of mental fatigue prediction.

Amylum can be transformed into trehalose on the action of the MTSase and MTHase, however, the percentage of transformation is low. The research on the enzyme immobilization through four kinds of immobilization carrier is described in this paper. The result shows that the carriers, which are put into with enzyme liquid and crossbonded with chi-tosan and glutaraldehyde at first, can adsorb many enzymes independent from this process of trehalose synthesizing, consequently, the enzyme activity is increased sharply. By comparing with the influence of the immobilizing process and some factors in the reaction conditions, such optimize condition can be reached: the time for carrier crossbonding with glutaraldehyde is 18hours , the time with enzyme is another 18hours , and the time of reaction with amylum (10%) is 9hours.The result of the content of trehalose can reach 27.22g/L and the percentage of transformation can reach 54.43% , which previously is 2.67g/L and 5.33% respectively before dealt with by carriers.
