Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(30):-
Finite element analysis can analyze the stress and strain change of object with complex shape,structure,constitution and load condition,and is widely applied to spinal biomechanical studies due to its controllability,reproducibility and versatility in mechanics tests.The article briefly introduced several finite element analysis software,summarized the mechanical characteristics of vertebral body,intervertebral disc,accessories and the ligament and muscle around the spine,and summarized research achievements of finite element analysis in lumbar fusion,concerning the biomechanics of Cage,its influence on lumbar fusion and related surgery choice,dynamic fusion,artificial intervertebral disc and the biomechanical variation of different fusion style after spinal tumor vertebrectomy.Finite element analysis can help understand the spine biomechanics and provide biomechanical reference for lumbar fusion choice.
2.Evaluation for the prognosis of the severe infected patients based on the fast cluster indicators score
Journal of Chinese Physician 2015;17(5):719-721
Objective To design fast cluster indicators (FCIs) and compare it with the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) scoring to judge the value and prognosis of sepsis patients.Methods Based on 33 cases of severe infected patients as samples for this study from September 2013 to July 2014 in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the Second People's Hospital of YiYang,and with the Procalcitonin (PCT),lactic acid (LAC),D-Dimer (DD) and base excess (BE) as the indicators,as well as drawing on the APACHE Ⅱ scoring system ideological,as is to design the FCIs to evaluate the prognosis of patients with severe infection.Results After treatment,the survivals were 17 cases,16 patients were died out of 33,and the mortality rate was 48.5%.The sensitivity and specificity of fast cluster indicator that predict patient mortality rates were 75% and 71%,respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of FCIs assessing the prognosis of patients with severe infections was 0.895,which was higher than the value 0.721 of APACHE Ⅱ scoring.Conclusions FCIs scoring has a certain significance and guiding role in clinical practice.
3.The expressions and their of vascular endothelial growth factor and extracellular matrix in non-small cell lung cancer
Tumor 2010;(2):138-142
Objective:To investigate the expressions and their clinical significance of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and extracellular matrix (ECM) components in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:Expressions of VEGF and ECM components (fibronectin, FN and collagen Ⅳ, cⅣ) in 50 cases of NSCLC tissues and 20 cases of normal lung tissues were detected by immunohistological analysis. Their relationship with clinical features of NSCLC and the correlation of expression of VEGF and Fn and cⅣ were analyzed.Results:The positive expression rates of VEGF, Fn, and cⅣ were 96%, 78%, and 50% in NSCLC tissues. The expressions of VEGF and Fn were significantly higher than those in normal lung tissues (P<0.05). The expression of Fn and over-expression of VEGF were associated with lymph node metastasis (r=1.00, P<0.001). The survival rate of patients with over-expression of VEGF was greatly lower than that with weak expression of VEGF (P=0.022). The survival rate of Fn-negative patients was markedly higher than that of Fn-positive patients (P=0.046). Conclusion:VEGF and ECM component Fn were highly expressed in NSCLC, which correlated with lymph node metastasis and survival rate. Expression of ECM and VEGF had positive correlations, suggesting that ECM might be one of the anti-angiogenesis targets for tumor therapy.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Shikani laryngoscope-guided nasotracheal intubation in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Methods One hundred ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients with body mass index <25 kg/m2 , aged 18-64 yr, undergoing maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia requiring nasotracheal intubation were included in this study. Fifty patients without anticipated difficult airway in preoperative assessment were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 25 each): Macintosh luyngoscope group ( group M ) and Shikani Optical Stylet (SOS) group (group S1 ). The other 50 patients with mouth opening < 3 cm but without difficult ventilation by mask were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 25 each): fiberoptic bronchoscope group (group F) and SOS group (group S2 ). Tracheal intubation was performed under the guidance of laryngoscopes after induction of anesthesia, and then the patients were mechanically ventilated. The degree of glottis exposure and epistaxis was evaluated. The rate of successful intubation, rate of successful intubation at first attempt, intubation time and complications were recorded. Results Compared with group M, the rate of successful intubation, rate of successful intubation at first attempt, and degree of glottis exposure were significantly increased, the intubation time was significantly shortened, and the degree of epistaxis was significantly decreased ( P < 0.05), but no significant change was found in the complications in group S1 ( P > 0.05). Compared with group F, the intubation time was significantly shortened ( P < 0.05), but no significant change was found in the rate of successful intubation, rate of successful intubation at first attempt and complications in group S2 ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Shikani laryngoscope can expose glottis better and the rate of successful intubation at first attempt is higher, thus it is more suitable for nasotracheal intubation in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery.

Objective To discuss the selection of indication for using uterine artery perfusion and embolization in tubal pregnancy. Methods Fifty one cases of tubal pregnancy were treated by superselective trans-uterine artery (TUA) catheterization with perfusing Methorexate (MTX) and then embolized the uterine arteries by gelfoam. The comparisons among serum P-HCG concentration, abdominal bleeding and the size of the ectopic mass could state the importance of the indication selection preprocedurally. Results Forty eight of the 51 cases were cured by this method, when the ectopic mass size≥5 cm, the cure rate was low, 33.33% (P
