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 study the clinical significance of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2 ) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and seek the fixed value according which to decide if we should and when to give up.Methods This was a prospective,observational study.A total of 124 patients with cardiac arrest in or out-of-hospital from may 2003 to March 2009 in emergency department of our hospital were selected.All of them had definite etiological factors.Changes of PetCO2 in 124 cardiac arrest patients during CPR were tracked.Results The gender,age,rescue time in seventy-one patients with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after endotracheal intubation have a significant difference with that in fifty-three patients without ROSC (P ＜0.01 ).The PetCO2 of the survival were higher than that of patients without ROSC or with ROSC,but finally died (P ＜0.01 ).A fixed point 14.4 mmHg of PetCO2 after 20 minutes' CPR can be used as a reference value to guide CPR or predict prognosis.Conclusions Monitoring PetCO2 during CPR has a predictive value on the success of resuscitation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the apolipoprotein B (ApoB) gene Xba Ⅰ and EcoR Ⅰ polymorphisms and cholelithiasis in Han and Mongolian population in the Midwest Area of Inner Mongolia.Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with cholelithiasis and 115 healthy individuals at the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Baotou from April to October in 2010 were collected.A case-control study which detected ApoB alleles of patients with cholelithiasis (cholelithiasis group) and healthy individuals (control group) in Han nationality and Mongolian nationality in the Midwest Area of Inner Mongolia was conducted by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism,which included Xba Ⅰ (X + X +,X + X-,X-X-,X +,X-) and EcoR Ⅰ (E + E +,E-E-,E + E-,E +,E-).The serum lipid (including triglyceride,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein) levels in different groups were detected.The count data and the measurement data were analyzed using the chi-square test and t test,respectively.Results Genotype X + X + was not found in the Han and Mongolian population,and Xba Ⅰ (X +) or EcoR Ⅰ (E-) alleles was not found in the Mongolian population.The levels of low density lipoprotein were (2.8 ± 0.9)mmol/L in the cholelithiasis group,which was significantly higher than (1.9 ± 0.8) mmol/L of the control group in the Han population (t =2.800,P ＜ 0.05).The levels of high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein were (1.7 ± 0.3) mmol/L and (3.5 ± 0.8) mmol/L of the cholelithiasis group,which were significantly higher than (1.2 ± 0.3) mmol/L and (2.8 ± 0.9) mmol/L of the control group in the Mongolian population (t =7.596,2.549,P ＜ 0.05).The levels of triglyceride,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein of the cholelithiasis group in the Mongolian population were (3.1 ± 1.6) mmol/L,(5.6 ± 1.0) mmol/L,(1.7 ± 0.3) mmol/L and (3.5 ± 0.8) mmol/L,which were significantly higher than (1.2 ± 0.6) mmol/L,(4.4 ± 1.2) mmol/L,(1.3 ± 0.3) mmol/L and (2.8 ± 0.9) mmol/L of the cholelithiasis group in the Han population (t =5.501,3.667,4.448,3.430,P ＜ 0.05).The levels of triglyceride,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein were (2.6 ± 1.7) mmol/L,(5.1 ± 1.1) mmol/L and (2.8 ± 0.9) mmol/L of the control group in the Mongolian population,which were significantly higher than (1.3 ±0.7)mmol/L,(3.9 ±0.9) mmol/L and (1.9 ±0.8) mmol/L of the control group in the Han population (t =4.298,4.772,3.888,P ＜ 0.05),while the level of high density lipoprotein was significantly higher of the control group in the Han nationality than the control group in the Mongolian population (t =1.997,P ＜ 0.05).The levels of low density lipoprotein in patients with genotypes X + X-,X-X-of the cholelithiasis group in the Han population were (2.7 ± 0.1) mmol/L and (2.6 ± 1.0) mmol/L,and the levels of low density lipoprotein in patients with genoeypes E + E ±,E + E-/E-E-were (2.6 ± 1.0) mmol/L and (2.5±0.4)mmol/L,with no significant difference (t=0.225,0.124,P＞0.05).Conclusion In the Midwest area of Inner Mongolia,the Mongolian population might be more susceptible to cholelithiasis than the Han population.No relationship between the rare alleles X +,E-and the increase of blood lipids,which indicates that X + and E-of ApoB may not be a risk factor of cholelithiasis.

Sleep quality is closely related to human health. It is very important to correctly discriminate the sleep stages for evaluating sleep quality, diagnosing and analyzing the sleep-related disorders. Polysomnography (PSG) signals are commonly used to record and analyze sleep stages. Effective feature extraction and representation is one of the most important steps to improve the performance of sleep stage classification. In this work, a collaborative representation (CR) algorithm was adopted to re-represent the original extracted features from electroencephalogram sig- nal, and then the kernel entropy component analysis (KECA) algorithm was further used to reduce the feature dimension of CR-feature. To evaluate the performance of CR-KECA, we compared the original feature, CR feature and readied CR feature (CR-PCA) after principal component analysis (PCA). The experimental results of sleep stage classification indicated that the CR-KECA method achieved the best performance compared with the original feature, CR feature, and CR-PCA feature with the classification accuracy of 68.74 +/- 0.46%, sensitivity of 68.76 +/- 0.43% and specificity of 92.19 +/- 0.11%. Moreover, CR algorithm had low computational complexity, and the feature dimension after KECA was much smaller, which made CR-KECA algorithm suitable for the analysis of large-scale sleep data.
