Light cannot be propagated within the range of photonic crystal band gaps. Based on this unique property, we proposed a method to improve anti-radiation capability through one-dimensional photonic crystal coating. Using transmission matrix method, we determined the appropriate dielectric materials, thickness and periodic numbers of photonic crystals through Matlab programming simulation. Then, compound one-dimensional photonic crystal coating was designed which was of high anti-radiation rate within the range of X-ray. As is shown through simulation experiments, the reflection rate against X-ray was higher than 90 percent, and the desired anti-radiation effect was achieved. Thus, this method is able to help solve the technical problems facing the inorganic lead glass such as thickness, weightiness, costliness, high lead equivalent, low transparency and high cost. This method has won China's national invention patent approval, and the patent number is 201220228549.2.

Objective:To investigate the effects of IGF-1 and IL-1β on the proliferation and apoptosis of cultured human condylar chondrocytes( CCs) of temporomandibular joint( TMJ) . Methods:Cultured CCs were derived from human TMJ condylar cartilage tis-sue, and identified by immunocytochemistry staining. The cultured cells were divided into 6 groups:control group, IL-1β(10 μg/L) group and IL-1 group (10 μg/L) + IGF-1 group (0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μg/L, respectively). The cell proliferation ability was de-tected by MTT assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis-associated factors Bcl-2, Bax and p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins were detected by Western blot. Results:Type II collagen was positively expressed in cultured CCs. IL-1β treatment decreased cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis with concomitant increase of the percentage of early apopto-sis and late apoptotic cells, increased Caspase-3 expression, decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and increased the expression of p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins. Whereas, with 1-100 μg/L IGF-1 pretreatment, the proliferation ability and Bcl-2/Bax ratio of the cells were in-creased(P<0. 05), the apoptotic cells were decreased, the expression of Caspase-3 and p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins was decreased ( P<0. 05) in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:IGF-1 may inhibit IL-1β-induced cell apoptosis and attenuate the activation of p38 MAPK/NF-κB of human condylar chondrocytes.

Objective To investigate the localization and the morphological changes of manchette during mouse spermiogenesis.Methods Immunofluorescence staining with FITC and costaining with DAPI were used to demonstrate the cellular localization of the manchette at different stages during mouse spermiogenesis.The structural changes of the manchette were observed during the maturing of the spermatid.Results Immunofluorescence staining showed that manchette existed exactly around the nuclei of the spermatids.Manchette began to form,when the shape of the nucleus changed from spherical to slightly elongated.While the nucleus of the spermatids condensed and elongated at later stages,manchette moved gradually to the caudal position of the spermatids.At last,the manchette diminished as the spermatids became mature.During mouse spermiogenesis,manchette underwent a transition from a cap-like to a tubular configuration.ConclusionThe formation and diminishment of the manchette is in step with the condensation and elongation of the nucleus of the spermatid.Both the structural and positional changes of the manchette coincide with the changes of the nucleus.These results imply that manchette might play an important role in mouse spermiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the bilateral flow-mediated dilation of brachial artery (BA-FMD) and nitroglycerin mediated dilation (BA-NMD) in patients with cerebral infarct, and to find out if the vasodilation of internal catotid artery after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin can be detected as a more direct way to reflect the vasodilation in patients with cerebral vascular diseases. Methods High resolution ultrasonic system was used to measure 13 patients with acute cerebral infarction. The diameter of brachial artery, internal carotid artery and common carotid artery was measured at relaxation, reactive congestion in the brachial artery and after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin. Meanwhile, the intima media thickness (IMT) and plaques of carotid artery was detected. Results Paralysis did not lead to differences in vasodilation of brachial artery (r=0.52, P=0.07). There was a correlation between ICA-NMD and BA-NMD (r=0.83, P=0.01). Conclusion There were no significant differences between brachial vasodilation in paretic and non-paretic limbs of patients with acute cerebral infarction. Ultrasonic measurement of ICA-NMD can be a more direct measure of the vasodilation of patients with cerebral infarction.

BACKGROUND:Ultrasound has been widely used in developmental hip dysplasia screening in infants and young children, but there are significant differences among different inspection findings, even in the reexamination by the same examiner. Therefore, the accuracy of ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis is of insufficient evidence.
OBJECTIVE:Through virtual reality three-dimensional reconstruction images showing the structure of acetabulum and femoral head space, to obtain a new parameter in order to enrich measurement standards of Graf ultrasonic diagnosis technology and to further improve the credibility of the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip.
METHODS:Ten fresh cadaver specimens of Chinese infants were selected, including five males and five females. Two-dimensional ultrasonic method was employed for hip screening, and at the same time, multi-slice spiral CT was used for three-dimensional reconstruction fol owed by volume reconstruction and fitting of surface reconstruction to display the anatomic structure around the hip and to simulate Graf’s two-dimensional ultrasound method to measure a andβangles on three-dimensional virtual reality images.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:As confirmed by three-dimensional reconstruction, Graf’s two-dimensional ultrasound could be used to measure a and angles, truly reflecting the development of bony and cartilaginous acetabulum. Graf’s two-dimensional ultrasound contributed to the proper evaluation of beonatal hip dysplasia, which can be used as a routine examination for developmental dysplasia of the hip. These indicate that to master Graf’s ultrasound technology and strictly grasp the evaluation standards for developmental dysplasia of the hip is the important guarantee for diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip.
