Objective To explore the effects of dietary fat on lipid peroxidation in female F344 rats. Methods The rats were fed diets containing various levels of corn oil ( 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% ) for 2, 10, 20 weeks and to detect the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in cerebellum, kidney and liver tissues by HPLC method. Results It was observed that rats consuming 3% and 5% corn oil diets yielded significantly higher levels of MDA compared with those fed with higher fat diets. It was also observed that the MDA levels at group of 20 weeks of feeding were significantly lower than groups of 2 weeks and/or 10 weeks of feeding. The three organs studied showed different MDA levels. MDA level in cerebellum was obviously higher than that in liver and kidney. Conclusion The lipid peroxidation linking with dietary fat seems to have tissue specific and time specific. The cerebellum tissues seem easy to be attacked by lipid peroxidation linking with dietary fat. The peaks of MDA concentrations emerge were at 2 week time point in cerebellum and at 10 week time point in liver and kidney respectively.

Hepatic fibrosis is a damage and repair response model in chronic liver damage process.Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) play a determinant role as the main cells to produce liver extracellular matrix in the process of liver fibrosis,the activation and proliferation of HSC is the key link in liver fibrosis.Cholestasis is refers to the disorder in generation,secretion and flow of bile at the hepatocyte or bile duct level.The proteins exist in membranes of the liver cells and bile duct cells are important transporters to produce and secrete bile.In recent years,much progress have been made in signal transduction pathways of liver fibrosis,and the relevant research of cholestatic liver fibrosis is increasingly improvement,with the in-depth understanding of these transporters,complex signal network system of bile salt's synthesis and transport,this paper mainly through TGF-β/Smad,MAPK,JAK/STAT,NF-κ B and Wnt signal pathways to investigate the progress of signal transduction mechanism of cholestatic hepatic fibrosis.

Objective To illustrate the application of fluoronavigation in Gamma nailing—a common surgical procedure in treatment of intertrochanteric fracture of femur and to compare the newly designed Gamma-3 system for navigation with the Gamma-AP system. Methods 66 patients with intertrochanteric fractures underwent Gamma nailing (40 Gamma-AP and 26 Gamma-3) under fluoronavigation guidance. An observer recorded the different intra-operative parameters. Results The Gamma-3 group showed superior results of shorter operation time (averaging 32 minutes), smaller surgical wound size (5cm), less X-ray requirement during procedure (7 times) and at the same time better lag screw position (Tip-Apex-Distance 17.9 mm). Conclusions Fluoronavigation can facilitate gamma nailing as a minimally invasive surgery because of its accurate guidance to nail insertion and lag screw positioning, a smaller surgical wound and minimized X-ray exposure suffered by operation theater staff. The Gamma-3 system has shown better results than the Gamma-AP system because of its navigation-specific design.

Objective This paper illustrates the application of fluoronavigation in intramedullary nailing in long bone fractures (femur and tibia), especially during the procedure of distal locking. We also explore the possibility of distal locking with an image bank of intramedullary nails and under navigation. Furthermore medical robots are being developed to further improve the precision of the procedure. Methods In our hospital, distal locking in 55 cases of femoral nailing and 36 cases of tibial nailing were performed under navigation. Another 13 cases of distal locking were performed with the image bank. Result The overall successful rate of distal locking was 97%. Conclusions Fluoronavigation in distal locking of intramedullary nailing of long bone fractures has achieved a high successful rate. Development of an image bank could further decrease the X-ray exposure suffered by the patient and operation theater staffs.

Objective To explore the effects of different levels of dietary fat on oxidative damage of DNA in rats.Methods 45day-aged F344female rats were supplied with feed containing5%corn oil for12days,then were averagely divided into5groups,ten rats per group.Above5groups were fed by3%,5%,10%,15%and20%corn oil feed for20weeks respectively.The contens of5-hydroxymethyl-2-deoxyuridine(5-OHmdU)in blood and mammary tissue were determined.Results The con-tents of5-OHmdU in blood in creased with the increase of content s of dietary fat in feed.The contents of5-OHmdU in mammary tissue reached the peak in group fed with10%dietary fat then showed a plateau-type effect.Conclusion5-OHmdU levels in blood appeared to be a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage due to dietary fat intake.However,5-OHmdU levels in mammary tissue suggested that the oxidative DNA damage might appear at the middle levels of fat intake.

Objective To explore the application of fluoro-navigation in close reduction and fixation of pelvi-acetabular fractures. Methods After imaging reconstruction from plan X-rays and CT tomographs, close reduction and fixation of pelvi-acetabular fractures were conducted under fluoro-navigation based on the indications. If the reduction was found satisfactory, surgical planning was discussed together with the patients. Results No complications occurred among patients with pelvi-acetabular dislocation. Apart from few cases postoperative CT scan showed satisfactory crew fixation. Conclusion The current experiences suggest that the fluoro-navigation is indicated for fixation of pelvi-acetabular fractures with close reduction.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of computer-aided diagnosis with three-dimensional volumetric measurement in solid pulmonary nodules on follow-up CT. Methods Forty-six patients with 58 solid nodules were evaluated.Each patient underwent chest CT at least twice.The volume, doubling times(DTs) and volumetric growth rates(VGRs) of nodules were calculated with three-dimensional volumetric measurement software. If there were significant statistical differences in DTs between malignant and benign nodules, Nonparametric test was used to make the analysis.If there were significant statistical differences in upper DTs'values between malignant and benign nodules, X2 test was used to make the analysis.Final diagnosis of all nodule were confirmed by pathology or by response to diagnostic therapy or by clinical follow-up.Results The DTs of 13 malignant nodules were <400 days in 12 nodules, with a range from 45 to 465 days (median, 159 days) ; the VGRs ranged from 8% to 329% (median, 30.0%).The VGRs of 45 benign nodules ranged from -38% to 24% (median, 0%).The DTs of 24 benign nodules that increased or not changed in size were >400 days in 22 nodules, with a range from 302 days to 55 158 days (median, 2 704 days); the VGRs ranged from 0 to 24% (median, 6.5%. Twenty-one nodules that decreased in size had the VGRs ranging from -38% to -4% (median, - 16.0%), and the DTs of these nodules could not be calculated by software.There were significant statistical differences in DTs between malignant and benign nodules(P <0.05).Taking 500 days, 400 days and 300 days as the upper value for malignancies there were statistically significant differences in these values between malignant and benign nodules(P < 0.01).Their sensitivities were 100.0%, 92.3%, 76.9% respectively and specificities were 87.5%, 91.7%, 100.0% respectively.Accuracies were 91.9%, 94.6% ,91.9% respectively and positive predictive values were 8,11,0.Conclusions Taking 400 days as the upper DTs'value for malignancies has important diagnostic value. Computer-aided diagnosis with three-dimensional volumetric measurement is sensitive to the volume changes of solid pulmonary nodules on follow-up CT, and is useful in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules.
