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.Effects of treadmill running at different intensities on three-dimensional structure of rat subchondral bones
Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2016;38(11):803-806
Objective To explore the effect of treadmill running at different intensities on three-dimensional structure of rat subchondral bones.Methods A total of 24 female Wistar rats were randomly assigned into a sedentary (SED) group,a low-intensity running (LIR) group,a medium-intensity running (MIR) group,or a high-intensity running (HIR) group,each of 6.Rats in LIR,MIR and HIR groups underwent treadmill running exercises with respective protocol,while rats in SED group serve as controls.Eight weeks later,all animals were sacrificed and their proximal end of tibia was examined using Micro-CT.Results Compared with SED group,in HIR group the subchondral plate became thicker with higher BMD and lower porosity,while trabecular bone became more and denser with higher BMD and a more plate-like architecture.LIR and MIR failed to result in considerable changes in the microstructure.Conclusion Treadmill running has an intensity-dependent effect on the three-dimensional structures of subchondral bones.High-intensity running can evoke significant structural changes in subchondral bones.

Objective To measure the operative length of the radioactive source with RL_HZJ18 afterloading machine.Methods The ways of direct measurement and treatment plan are both collected to measure.Results Both of the ways can measure the operative length,and the error of length can be accurate to 1mm.Conclusion The way is simple,practical,good maneuverability,it is worth the trial and promotion.
6.Value of Nuclear Factor-?B for Early Diagnosis on Neonatal Sepsis
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2004;0(12):-
Objective To investigate the expression and the effect of nuclear factor-?B(NF-?B) in neonatal sepsis.Methods We separated 77 newborn infants into 3 groups, which were septic group (26 cases),non-septic group (31 cases) and control group (20 cases). NF-?B existed in PBMC was detected in 3 different periods, including at admission, after the 24th hour and 48th hour of admission, of the septic group and the non-septic group by flow cytometry. At the same time, the sample of the septic group and the non-septic group were drawn for blood cultures at admission before using antibiotics.Results The expression of NF-?B in septic group was more significant than that in the other 2 groups (P

Objective To provide references for epidemiology teaching reform by investigating scores of epidemiological exam and applications of epidemiologic course content in practice.Methods The epidemiological exam scores of students majoring in preventive medicine from 2004 to 2007 grade were statistically analyzed and questionnaire survey was carried out among students of 2006 and 2007 grade.Results The skewness of epidemiological scores from four garades were negative skew,and the kurtosis of 2007 grade was positive,the others were negative;there were statistical differences among the average scores of different grades(F=2.70,P<0.05);there were statistical differences between 2004 grade and other grades in passing rate(x2=7.94,P<0.008).Most of the contents applied in survey were prevention and control of infectious deseases(16.0%),prevention and control of chronic diseases(13.9%),surveillance of diseases(11.8%).Conclusions Epidemiology teaching reform should be enhanced and should integrate theory with practice.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2017;25(3):167-170
Objective To investigate the changes of vitamin D level and its relationship with bone alkaline phosphatase(BAP)and parathyroid hormone(PTH)in infants fed with breast milk and vitamin D supplementation for 0-8 months in People`s Hospital of Longhua New District in Shenzhen city.MethodsTotally 67 newborns in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of People`s Hospital of Longhua New District were selected.These newborns were breastfed and began to supplement vitamin D 400 U/d in the 15th day after birth.The serum 25-(OH)D3 and BAP and PTH levels were measured in newborns and 4-/8-month-old infants,and the correlations of serum 25-(OH)D3 with BAP and PTH were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.ResultsCompared with the newborns,the serum 25-(OH)D3 [(78.47±36.41)nmol/L,(75.26±34.73)nmol/L],BAP[(231.43±78.81)μg/L,(205.97±71.64)μg/L],PTH[(31.76±11.54)pg/ml,and(32.94±13.82)pg/ml] levels of 4-and 8-month-old infants were significantly higher,and the difference were statistically significant(t4 months=7.823,12.568,11.852,t8 months=7.364,9.473,11.947;all P=0.000).There was a negative correlation between serum 25-(OH)D3 and BAP in newborns and 4-/8-monthold infants(r=-0.372,-0.463,-0.309;P=0.008,0.016,0.021),the serum BAP was positively correlated with PTH in infants aged 4 months and 8 months(r=0.487,0.338;P=0.005,0.032),and the serum 25-(OH)D3 was negatively correlated with PTH in infants aged 4 months(r=-0.297,P=0.041).Conclusions Infants at birth are prone to vitamin D deficiency in Shenzhen City.After 4 months of breastfeeding and vitamin D400U/d supplementation,the vitamin D levels in most infants become normal.25-(OH)D3 is correlated with BAP and PTH in different months.
