In order to check the neck response and injury during motor vehicle accidents, we developed a detailed finite element model for human cervical spine C4-C6. This model consisted of cortical bone, cancellous bone, annulus, nucleus, ligaments and articular facet, and it also set up contact in the contacting parts for simulating the movement perfectly under frontal impact. This model could be used for stress and strain distribution after the frontal impact load was applied on this model. During the process of frontal impact, the most displacement simulated data were in the interval range of experimental data. The experimental results showed that this model for the human cervical spine C4-C6 simulated the movement under the frontal impact with fidelity, and reflected the impact dynamics response on the whole.

-6.00D), selected randomly and consecutively, were examined by ICGA and FFA synchronically.ResultsThe result of early phase of FFA showed hypofluorescence of the background in 25 eyes,while of late phase showed subretinal neovascularization (SRNV) in 10 eyes and streak formation in 40 eyes. The result of ICGA showed choroidal retrobulbar arteries in 8 eyes, hypofluorescence of the background in 35 eyes, SRNV in 8 eyes, and streak formation in 52 eyes.ConclusionThe iconographic characteristics of ICGA and FFA of high myopia include hypofluorescence of the background, SRNV and streak formation. ICGA can give more exact information on the lesions of choroid in high myopia. The synchronic examination of ICGA and FFA may act as a guide to the therapy for high myopia.

Objective To survey and analyze characteristics of brucellosis epidemic in Dalian City for the purpose of setting up prevention and control measures for the disease. Methods In 2007, the basic situation of people of 7-60 years old and in close contact with livestock was surveyed in Dalian according to the "Surveillance standard for brucellosis"(GB 16885-1997). Blood was collected in brucellosis suspicious or high-risk groups for the laboratory examination, using rose bengal test for qualitative detection and test-tube agglutination test(SAT) method for quantitative detection of serum antibodies; At the same time, brucellosis cases found in the routine monitoring and confirmed in and this survey in the department of endemic disease prevention in the center for disease control and prevention of Dalian City underwent questionnaire surveys. Results All 1563 people were epidemiologically surveyed of brucellosis, 1310 were male, 253 female,livestock care givers accounted for 56.05% (876/1563). 240 blood samples were serologically surveyed, the detection rate was 3.75%(9/240). This survey confirmed 2 cases of brucellosis patients, 3 cases confirmed in routine monitoring. 3 cases were infected via contacting infected brucellosis cows, and the 2 cases were imported. Conclusions To strengthen the quarantine of livestock and timely treat the infected livestock should be the key of control of brucellosis. At the same time, professionals of livestock should be educated to protect themselves.

Objective To analyze the syphilis epidemic characteristics and trends of Yongchuan District during 2010? 2015 to provide a basis for formulating the prevention and control strategy of syphilis.Methods The data of syphilis cases reported in Yongchuan District of Chongqing City during 2010-2015 were arranged,checked anal statisticallyanalyzed.Results The incidence rate of syphilis showed a reverse U type change trend from rising to declining,latent syphilis accounted for the highest proportion,congenital syphilis cases were decreased year by year.The analysis results showed that the constituent ratio of latent syphilis and congenital syphilis had statistical difference between 2010-2013 and 2014-2015(P＜0.05);syphilis high prevalent area was concentrated at the city and town area,while prevalence rate was slower in rural area.Most of syphilis patients were concentrated in the age group of 25-45 years old.There was no difference between women and men;syphilis cases generally had lower educational level,majority concentrated at the population of junior high school or below;the occupations in the syphilis patients were concentrated at the entertainment personnel,followed by migrant workers.Conclusion The incidence rate of syphilis is changed from rising to smoothly and steady decreased.It is necessary to adopt the pertinent prevention and control measures for the high-risk population.

Objective To study the clinical features of visual dysfunction in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and related factors. Methods Between 2006 and 2009, one hundred and sixty-three children (aged 4 to 108months, mean age 29.05 ± 20.51 months) with CP at Qingdao's Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Children were enrolled into this study, including 117 boys and 46 girls. All the children were retrospectively reviewed for perinatal risk factors. Ophthalmologists examined their visual parameters, including refraction, visual acuity, eye position and movement, and fundoscopy. Results Among the 163 children, 61 had visual dysfunctions, an occurrence rate of 37.4%. They included refractive errors in 39 (23.9%) , strabismus in 50 (30.7%) , abnormal eye movement in 26(15.9%) , and abnormal fundoscopic findings in 13 (7.9%). Thirty-seven children's visual acuity was examined,and 19 of them (51.4%) had low visual acuity. Patients who showed periventicular leukomalacia (PVL) or lesions in the occipital lobe on MRI examination had a high incidence of visual dysfunction. Preterm and low birth-weight were risk factors for visual dysfunction in these CP children. Conclusions Visual dysfuntion is a common complication in CP children. Early ophthalmological assessment and intervention are important for CP children.
