As a node between the skull and the spine, atlantoaxial joint plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of head and neck activities, as well as the connection between the brains and the spine. The biomechanical characteristics of stlantoaxial joint, together with traumatic factors, contribute to determine the site, type and character of atlantoaxial joint fracture and dislocation, they also affect the treatment of atlantoaxial joint injury. With the materials technique development and accumulated experience of clinical operations, various types of new implants are increasing and used for clinical practice, accordingly the surgical approach and therapy regimen of atlantoaxial disease have been greatly enriched. At present, the use of implant mainly aims to promote the atlantoaxial fusion or enhance the connection and fixation between atlantoaxial joints. However, the head and neck activities are also limited simultaneously while the implant enhances the atlantoaxial joint stability. Further studies require to handle the correlation between joint stability and joint flexibility and to maximize the physiological function recovery of atlantoaxial joints when ensuring the atlantoaxial joint stability.

Objective To investigate clinical significance of positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in diagnosis for vasculitis or other diseases. Methods From January 2005 to December 2008, 104 patients with positive ANCA detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in People's Hospital of Peking University were randomly selected and their clinical features and diagnoses were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among 104 ANCA-positive patients, 22 were diagnosed as vasculitis and 13 as ANCA-associated vasculitis, and 82 (78. 8% )were diagnosed as non-vasculitis including 40 of connective diseases such as systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 42 of non-connective diseases with the most common of ulcerative colitis. According to the results of ANCA tests by ELISA, ANCA-positive patients could be divided into those with proteinase 3 (PR3)-positive and myeloperoxideaso (MPO)-positive. More organs were involved in MPO-positive patients (n =48 ) than that in PR3-positive ones ( n = 49), and more frequent involvement of the kidneys and less frequent involvement of the gastrointestinal tract in MPO-positive than those in PR3-positive ones (P < 0. 01 ). As compared to those with non-vasculitis, more organs (2. 28 organs vs. 3.55 organs in average) were involved in patients with vasculitis (P <0. 01 ) and more frequent involvement of the upper or lower respiratory tracts and the kidneys in vasculitis patients ( P <0. 01 or <0. 05, respectively). Elevated leukocyte count and accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were also more common in vasculitis patients than those in non-vasculitis ones (P <0. 01 and P <0. 05, respectively). Positive ANCA combined with number of organs involved, clinical manifestations and other laboratory findings, its positive predictive value (PPV) in diagnosis for vasculitis can be improved. Conclusions Spectrum of disease in patients with positive ANCA was varied. Diagnostic value of positive ANCA in diagnosis for vasculitis can be improved if combined with comprehensive analysis of their clinical features and laboratory examinations.

Procalcionin ( PCT) is a soluble protein liberated into the circulation of patients in response to severe systemic in-fection, in particular by bacterial infection.It is used as the most accurate biomarker for the diagnosis of sepsis.This review briefly de-scribes the induction of PCT, the comparison of PCT and other markers of sepsis, the application of PCT measurement in confirmation or exclusion of diagnosis of sepsis, the assessment of severity and treatment effectiveness of systemic infection, the application of PCT in guiding individual and specific treatment of antibiotics, and the anormaly situation of elevated levels of PCT in patients who do not have sepsis.

The occurrence of iliac vein compression syndrome(IVCS) has the anatomic factor.IVCS has no specific symptoms and signs.The diagnosis of IVCS is mainly made by venography, intravascular pressure measurement, intravascular ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound,magnetic resonance venography, and CT.Before the occurrence of acute iliofemoral thrombosis,the treatment of IVCS is conservative therapy.The purpose of surgical intervention is to resolve the obstruction and keep the blood flow. The surgery of occluded iliac veins secondary to IVCS is now to be replaced by endovascular reconstruction. IVCS can be treated correctly before the occurrence of iliofemoral thrombosis and its sequelae can be reduced greatly, if the diagnosis of IVCS can be made as early as possible,and the degree of the stenosis of the iliac vein,the characteristics of its hemorheology and hemodynamics can be understood in time.

Objective In order to increase significantly the discriminatory potential of Y-STR systems available to the forensic community , We have developed and validated a four-color fluorescence multiplex PCR system consisting of 7 male-specific and polymorphic Y-STRs. Methods We designed three sets of constant primers chimerited into three groups of 7 Y-STR's specific primers and utilized fluorescence- labeled these three sets of constant primers to amplified simultaneously 7 Y-STRs in a reaction tube. Allele and haplotype frequencies at these Y-STRs were screened by ABI PRISM310 Genetic Analyzer and analyzed by Genotyper software. Results Following optimization of the polymerase chain reaction , DYS434, Y-GATA-A10,DYS531, DYS557 , DYS456 , DYS444 and DYS448 in a sample of 120 unrelated males , showed4, 5, 5, 8, 8, 6,7 alleles respectively. A total of 101 different haplotypes was identified,of which 89 (88. 11% ) were found in single individuals. The overall haplotypes diversity reached 0.9958. To the one case of mixture stains, our multiplex system drawn conforming conclusion comparing to the result of Y-STR genotypes in suspect's blood sample. Conclusion Our results show that the multiplex system of 7 Y-STR will be very powerful for establishing Y-STR database, the paternity testing and mixture stains identifying.
