Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy in the treatment of unilateral micrognath ia by using EAM medical resin and hydroxyapatite (EH) composite material combined with the CAD/ CAM technique.Methods From July 2011 to October 2015,12 cases of unilateral micrognathia caused by different reasons were treated,based on the representative traits and requirements,refering to the unsymmetric counter part by right of CAD/CAM technique.By the 3-dimensional design and reconstruction,we reformed the EH composite material into purposed shape,and insert it in the operative area.Results All the materials were closely suitable to the mandible surfaces.1 case failed because the wound was torn apart;the other 11 patients recovered more than 6 months and were satisfied with the external appearance.Conclusions The EH composite materials combined with CAD/ CAM techniques could be a potential characterized remedy for the unilateral micrognathia.

Cai which are stem or heartwood of trees or stem of woody liana are a kind of medicinal plant resources traditionally used by Li Minoriy. Ethnobotanical methods were adopted for the investigation on traditional utilization of cai. Totally, 44 species in 26 families and 30 genera were reported to be used as cai. Most of the species were applied as decoction (70.5%) and medicinal liquor (27.3%) to treat a wide range of diseases, such as rheuma-toid arthritis (34.1%), liver diseases (18.2%), injuries and weak (15.9% respectively). Through literature survey, it was found that 7 species (15.9%) were used by Li Minority only. Besides, 13 species (29.5%) were used differently compared with that of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Consequently, it is indicated that indigenous knowledge of using medicinal plants by Li Minority is unique.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the photosynthetic characteristics of wildlife tending Alpinia oxyphylla, and provide a theoretical basis for choosing wildlife tending environment and cultivation management.
METHODThe response parameters of the net photosynthetic rate to light intensity, CO2 concentration and photosynthetic characteristics were measured by Li-6400 portable photosynthesis in blossom bud forming stages under different treated conditions.
RESULTThe maximum net photosynthetic rate (Pmax), daily average photosynthetic rate (Pn), apparent quantum efficiency (AQY), apparent carboxylation efficiency (CE), light using efficiency (LUE), and water use efficiency (WUE) were optimal in the wild tending treatment at the light transmission rate of 17.4%-24.1%, beyond the light transmission rate, the photosynthetic capacity utilization of A. oxyphylla would not have a significant increase or be inhibited. The light compensation point (LCP) and light saturation point (LSP) of A. oxyphylla improved with light intensity enhancing. Wildlife tending could enhance the scope of A. oxyphylla to CO2 adaptation.
CONCLUSIONA. oxyphylla as sciophytes, and the optimum light transmission rate for wild tending and cultivating was at 17.4%-24.1%.

Machine learning has developed rapidly in recent years.Using machine learning to predict the radiotherapy outcomes and complications can more accurately evaluate the patients' conditions and take appropriate treatment measures as soon as possible.The non-dose and dose related factors generated during radiotherapy are filtered and input into the algorithm model,then corresponding prediction result can be obtained.There are many algorithm models to predict survival rate,tumor control rate and radiotherapy complications,and the predicted result are more accurate now.However,the algorithm model also has various problems,and it needs constant exploration and improvement.

Objective:To explore the expression levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) and ATP-binding cassette superfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues, and to observe the correlations of their expressions with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients.Methods:The tissue samples from 82 patients with NSCLC who underwent surgical treatment from January 2016 to November 2018 in Taishan Hospital of Shandong Province were selected. The expressions of ALDH1 and ABCG2 in fresh cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. χ 2 test was used to analyze the correlations of ALDH1 and ABCG2 expressions with clinicopathological features of patients; Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between ALDH1 and ABCG2; Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test was used to analyze the correlations of ALDH1 and ABCG2 expressions with the overall survival (OS) of patients; Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the influencing factors of OS. Results:The positive expression rates of ALDH1 and ABCG2 in NSCLC tissues were higher than those in adjacent tissues, and the differences were statistically significant [60.98% (50/82) vs. 12.19% (10/82), 51.22% (42/82) vs. 3.66% (3/82), χ 2 values were 42.051 and 46.582, both P < 0.01]. ALDH1 expression was positively correlated with ABCG2 expression in NSCLC tissues (P < 0.05). The positive expression rates of ALDH1 and ABCG2 in patients with TNM stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ were higher than those in patients with stage Ⅰ [70.00% (35/50) vs. 46.88% (15/32), 60.00% (30/50) vs. 37.50% (12/32), both P < 0.05], and the positive expression rates of ALDH1 and ABCG2 in patients with lymph node metastasis were higher than those in patients without metastasis [75.00% (27/36) vs. 50.00% (23/46), 66.67% (24/36) vs. 39.13% (18/46), both P < 0.05]. The median follow-up time was 22.5 months, a total of 2 patients were lost to follow-up, and the median OS time was 25.4 months. The OS rate of ALDH1-positive patients was lower than that of ALDH1-negative patients (χ 2 = 5.124, P = 0.031), and the OS rate of ABCG2-positive patients was lower than that of ABCG2-negative patients (χ 2 = 6.969, P = 0.008). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that age (OR = 1.241, 95% CI 1.021-2.535, P = 0.045), lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.521, 95% CI 1.102-4.281, P = 0.012), TNM stage (OR = 2.104, 95% CI 1.289-6.150, P = 0.018), ALDH1 (OR = 2.435, 95% CI 1.214-8.654, P = 0.001), and ABCG2 (OR = 1.503, 95% CI 1.148-5.696, P = 0.021) were independent influencing factors of OS for patients with NSCLC. Conclusions:The expressions of ALDH1 and ABCG2 in NSCLC tissues are increased, and they are associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM staging. The OS rate in ALDH1-positive and ABCG2-positive patients is low. ALDH1 and ABCG2 may be prognostic markers for NSCLC.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of computer-assisted surgical navigation in the reduction and fixation of unilateral zygomatic complex fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the patients suffering from unilateral zygomatic complex fractures treated by computer-aided surgical navigation technology in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University from January 2013 to December 2017. Spiral CT was used before surgery, the data was imported into BrainLAB navigation workstation or AccuNavi—a navigation workstation to design the surgery plan, and then the surgery plan was imported into the surgical navigation workstation to assist the reduction and fixation of the zygomatic complex fracture. Three-dimensional CT was used within 1 week after surgery to measure the reference values of the postoperative healthy and affected zygomatic prominence, which were analyzed by the paired t-test. At the same time, the reduction of the fracture was evaluated by the difference of the bilateral reference values of the zygomatic prominence, and the absolute value of the difference less than 2 mm was judged as exact reduction. All patients underwent postoperative follow-up, and wound healing and facial appearance and functional recovery were evaluated. Results:A total of 45 patients were involved in this study, including 39 males and 6 females, aged 21-68 years old. The postoperative zygomatic prominence values of the healthy side and affected side were (80.78±6.14) mm and (80.85±6.10) mm, respectively. There was no statistical significance ( t=0.362, P=0.719) between the reference values of the bilateral zygomatic prominence after operation. The absolute value of the difference between the zygomatic prominence of the healthy and the affected sides after operation was (0.92±0.68) mm. Fourty-three cases achieved exact reduction of the fracture. In the other 2 cases, the absolute value of the zygomatic prominence difference was 2.3 mm and 2.2 mm, respectively. The surgical incisions of all patients healed well without complications such as infection, accompanying with satisfactory facial appearance and function recovery. Conclusions:The application of computer-aided surgical navigation in unilateral zygomatic complex fracture surgery can effectively ensure the accuracy of fracture reduction, and it is a valued application.
