Objective:To identify the normal position of the root tips of lower premolars, first and second molars, the distances through 3-D reconstruction in 100 cases of general population were measured. Methods: The three distances were measured from 100 cases over 17 years old, divided by gender: 1. The distance of Mandible of the Centre (M) under the jaw to the lower edge of the next point (L);2. The distance of Mandible of the Centre (M) and M points to the horizon at the same point of the buccal (O);3. The distance of Mandible of the Centre (M) and M to the point in the same horizontal line at the side of the tongue(I). Results: The second premolar root tip of the jaw bone under the margin of the thick wall, the wall thickness of tongue in cheek bone lateral side of the wall in the first and second molars, the lower edge of the mandible bone wall, the tongue side of the wall, cheek bone side walls were thicker through 3-D reconstruction measurement than in normal way.Cheek bone was much thicker than the tongue side of the wall. Conclusion: The way of identifying the normal lower in the second premolar and the first and second molar root tip through the three distances by 3-D reconstruction will give us lots of help, such as: Orthognathic operation of the mandible sagittal split SSRO, scaling of cysts, planting of a certain theoretical basis for scientific research and teaching to provide a realistic and practical method.

OBJECTIVETo compare the differences between computer aided identification and ultra-thin layer slicing in measuring the lesions of femoral head necrosis,and to confirm the accuracy and practicability of computer aided method.

METHODSFrom June 2012 to December 2013, the X-ray and MRI of 24 patients (24 hips on unilateral) were reviewed, who had avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFA) at late stage (stage III and IV) according to the ARCO international staging system. There were 15 males and 9 females, with an average age of (65.1 ± 8.8) years old, ranged 33 to 74 years old. Based on the software system with seeds point identification, the ragional adaptive search method with computer aid was used to calculate the volume of necrotic lesion in femoral on MRI. Then the pathological slices of those intraoperative femoral heads were made to measure the gross volume of necrotic lesion in femoral head,and the values were compared with the data in the computer.

RESULTSFor 24 hips, by the calculation of computer, the necrotic volume was (20.00 ± 3.04) cm (ranged, 18.72 to 21.29 cm³). Under the pathological section, the necrotic volume of the femoral head was (19.89 ± 3.17) cm³ (ranged, 18.55 to 21.23 cm³). In computer and pathology two kinds of measurement, the two entire femoral head volume had no significant difference using these two measurements (t = -1.227, P = 0.232).

CONCLUSIONComputer aided identification for necrotic area of femoral head adaptive can demonstrate the morphology of femoral head necrosis accurately and reliably, which will help surgeon better understand the morphology and orientation in femoral head.

ToprovidethemethodologyforrapidqualityevaluationofLonicerajaponica,wehaveestablished the stable quantitative model of near infrared spectroscopy ( NIR) . The performance of Bagging partial least squares (Bagging-PLS) model and Boosting partial least squares (Boosting-PLS) model was compared with that partial least squares ( PLS ) model based on the NIR data of ethanol precipitation process of Lonicera japonica. On this basis, the performance of these two models after variables selection was also studied by the methods of siPLS ( synergy interval partial least squares ) and CARS ( competitive adaptive reweighted sampling) . The experimental results showed that the prediction performance of Bagging-PLS and Boosting-PLS models was superior to PLS model with the latent factor of 10 . The band of 820-1029 . 5 nm and 1030-1239. 5 nm for the first batch was selected by the method of siPLS. In addition, the band of 820-1029. 5 nm and 1030-1239. 5 nm was selected for the second batch sample in the same method. Furthermore, the method of CARS was taken to select variables for the two batches samples with 5-fold cross-validation and 10-fold cross-validation. And the lowest RMSECV( root mean square error of cross-validation) values were used to take subset. Compared to the model performance without the method of CARS, the RMSEP value of the Bagging-PLS model and Boosting-PLS model for the concentration of chlorogenic acid reduced by 0 . 02-0 . 04 g/L and rp(correlation coefficient of prediction)value increased by 4%-5%. Generally, Bagging-PLS and Boosting-PLS could be regarded as rapid prediction methodsfor NIR quantitative models of ethanol precipitation process of Lonicera japonica.

This study was aimed to find out the correlation between chemical component contents and physical prop-erties of tanshinone extract powders. The contents of cryptotanshinone and tanshinone IIA from 50 batches of tanshi-none extract powders were determined by HPLC. And the physical properties were determined by classical methods. The correlation analysis between component contents and physical properties were also investigated. The results showed that two sets of variables had good intraclass correlation, especially for the contents of cryptotanshinone and tanshinone IIA, among D10, D50, D90, there were relatively strong correlation between the bulk density and tapped density, between the Hausner ratio and compressibility index. The angle of repose had a certain correlation with the uniformity, Hausner ratio and compressibility index, but with no strong correlation. The correlation coefficient be-tween two sets was below 0.400, suggesting there was a not so good inter-group correlation. After the canonical cor-relation analysis, three pairs of canonical variables had significant correlations with correlation coefficients being 0.851, 0.674 and 0.565, respectively. It was concluded that there was a good intraclass correlation for each of physi-cal and/or chemical quality set, but the correlation between the two sets was bad. Canonical variables performed bet-ter inter-group correlation compared with original variables, indicating there was a certain correlation between chem-ical and physical quality attributes of tanshinone extract powders.

Abstract: The design space of the high shear wet granulation process was established and validated within the framework of quality by design (QbD). The system of microcrystalline cellulose-de-ioned water was used in this study. The median granule size and bulk density of granules were identified as critical quality attributes. Plackeet-Burmann experimental design was used to screen these factors as follows: dry mixing time, the impeller and chopper speed of dry mixing, water amount, water addition time, wet massing time, the impeller and chopper speed of wet massing and drying time. And the optimization was implemented with the central composite experimental design based on screened critical process parameters. The design space of the high shear wet granulation process was established based on the quadratic polynomial regression model. Since the P-values of both models were less than 0.05 and values of lack of fit were more than 0.1, the relationship between critical quality attributes and critical process parameters could be well described by the two models. The reliability of design space, illustrated by overlay plot, was improved with the addition of 95% confidence interval. For those granules whose process parameters were in the design space, the granule size could be controlled within 250 to 355 μm, and the bulk density could be controlled within a range of 0.4 to 0.6 g x cm(-3). The robustness and flexibility of the high shear wet granulation process have been enhanced via the establishment of the design space based on the QbD concept.
