The paper analyzes different expressions of indirectly associated strong-weak connection in the process of biomedical literature knowledge discovery,defines the effect and function of strong-weak connection on literature knowledge discovery,and indicates that the accuracy rate of the discovery of potential connection through strong connection is obviously higher than the accuracy rate obtained through weak connection,and strong connection can serve as an important factor for improving the application effect of literature knowledge discovery.

Objective To explore influence of thoracic duct ligation on lipid metabolism after esophagectomy. Methods Seventy-four patients with esophageal cancer received esophagectomy were divided into two groups by their thoracic duct ligation, 39 in ligation group and 35 in non-ligation group. All the patients were fed with nutrients through nasal-duodenal tube placed during operation from the 1 st day to the 8th day after surgery, and started taking liquid diet on the 6th day. Blood specimens were collected from the patients on the 1st day after admission, the 9th day, one month and three months after surgery,respectively for biochemical analysis,including determinations of total cholesterol(TC),triglyeeride(TG),high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C) . Databetween the two groups were compared with statistical analysis. Results No significant difference in plasma levels of TC, TG and HDI.-C was found between the two groups at varied time points. Plasma level of LDL-C in the ligation group significantly decreased on the 9th day after surgery, as compared with that in the nonligation group ( P ＜ 0. 05), and went down to the lowest level one month after surgery. Conclusions Chylomicron was blocked to enter blood stream and production of LDL-C decreased by thoracic duct ligation,which affect lipid absorption and metabolism leading to poor early nutrition in patients with esophagealsurgery due to slower establishment of collateral circulation.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas(SPTP),and to work out the diagnosis and treatment process which matches the conditions of China.Methods The clinical data of consecutive 50 patients with SPTP who had been admitted to our hospital from January 2001 to March 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Of all patients,3 were male and 47 female.Their median age Was 24 years(13-60 years).Preoperative imaging examination revealed typical findings and tumor markers were negative.SPIP of 23 cases were located in the head of pancreas,3 in the neck of pancreas,2 in the uncinate process of pancreas.3 in the body of pancreas,18 in the tail of pancreas,and the location of SPTP of 1 case was uncertain.Forty-eight patients underwent the operation of SPTP resection,1 of exploratory laparotomy and 1 of CT-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy of metastatic lesions.Results Forty-nine out of 50 patients were diagnosed"pancreatic mass"preoperatively.Eighteen of the 32 patients with intact tumor capsule and 11 of the 16 patients without intact tumor capsule underwent operation without pathological examination.Thirty-two patients were followed up for 3-55 months,and no metastasis or invasion of the SPTP was observed.Conclusions Yong females are in the high risk group of SPTP.CT is the most valuable preoperative imaging test.Complete surgical resection is the first choice treatment with good prognosis.Resection of the head of pancreas with the preservation of duodenum and resection of body and tail of pancreas+splenectomy are the commou modalities used for the treatment of SPTP.The intactness of the tumor capsule is an important factor in making surgical plan and deciding the necessity of intraoperative frozen section pathological examination.The most common postoperative complication of SPTP resection is pancreatic fistula.

Objective To analyze the correlationship of ACE I/D gene polymerphisms with the anti-hypertensive efficacy of irbesartan among essential hypertension (EH) patients in Yunnan han people.Methods One hundred EH patients hypertension were treated with irbesartan 150mg once daily for 4 weeks,and anti-hypertensive efficacy were monitored during the treatment.Results There was a significant difference between anti-hypertensive efficacy of irbesartan among different genotype groups,DD group ＞ID group ＞Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0.05) Conclusions There is different therapy responsiveness in diffenent genotypes.ACE I/D polymorphism may be an important hereditary factor that impacts the efficacy of irbesartan.

Objective To study the stability of micro-implant orthodontic anchorage(MA)with different pitch in the case of immediate loading.Method Employing 3D finite element analysis method,the stress and dis-placement distribution on the bone interface of MIA with different pitch(0.3 mm、0.5 mm、0.7 mm and 1.0 mm,respectively),which was 1.47 N loaded vertically in the major axis direction,were analyzed.Result The pitch affected the stress distribution significantly,because the maximum stress increased with the pitch decreasing and the impact of pitch on stress distribution on neck and central locations of MIA were different;to decrease the pitch could reduce the max displacement of the jaw,but the impact of pitch on displacement distribution of MIA was not significant.Condusions In the case of immediate loading.MIA with pitch 0.5 mm-0.7 mm is suggested to be selected as orthodontic anchorage in the clinic.

Objective Clutching internal fixtor(CIF)loose and the fixed part weakly heal up are often found in orthopedic clinic.In the present paper,biomechanics methods were used to try to explain and analyze these issues,providing a helpful suggestion for the application of CIF in clinic.Method Commerical finite element models(FEM)Program ANSYS was applied to set up the finite element models of orthopedic CIF and bone tissue to analyze and evaluate the biomechanical performances of the NiTi shape memory alloy CIF.Results There is an interaction force between embracing force of CIF and resistant force of bone tissue during the orthopedic clinical treatment.The embracing force along two semi-circular arms of CIF is increasing from the open position and reached the maximum value at the open symmetry position where the deformation of the bone occurred.Conclusion It is the key to choose the force loading position during the practical treatment,as the concentration force is the main force when there is an interactive force between the bone and the CIF.

Objective To investigate bladder anatomical changes and dose variation in patients with cervical cancer.Methods We analyzed 20 patients,undergoing external beam radiotherapy scanning cone beam CT(CBCT)before each fraction.Bladder was contoured on each CBCT,was projected onto the planning CT and assesses anatomical changes and dose variation.Results A total 451 CBCT images,for 20 patients were collected for analysis,show more change in bladder volume and position.In 15 cases bladder volume and V45 had no significant correlation(r=0.225 -0.473,all P>0.05),4 cases shows negative correlation(r=-0.564,P<0.05;r=-0.597,P<0.01;r=-0.942,P<0.01;r=-0.816,P<0.01),1 case shows positive correlation(r=0.662,P<0.01).Have more than the criteria(V45≤50%)number is 64/451(14.2%)in whole treatment.Conclusions For most patients by filling adequacy bladder,bladder dose variation is acceptable:CTV lager for individual patients should be closely observed its regression,implementation of the offline or online calibration.
