BACKGROUND:Temperature measure methods of human tissue include destructive measurement and nondestructive measurement. Destructive measurement cannot measure three-dimensional (3D) temperature field and nondestructive measure is stil in the research stage. It is better way to build a mathematical and physical model to predict and simulate femur tumor hyperthermia. OBJECTIVE:To obtain the three-dimensional temperature distribution of femur and its surrounding tissues during tumor hyperthermia. METHODS:3D temperature distribution was obtained by using finite element method on the basis of heat conduction theory, Laplace equation, Pennes bio-heat transfer equation, thermo physical parameters of bone tissues, the boundary condition, and initial conditions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The femur had good hinder effect to heat transfer. Femoral temperature curve in the 3D space showed el ipsoid distribution with heat source as the center;the closer from heat source, the greater the temperature gradient was. The three major diameters of temperature isoline were different at 50℃, which is maximum in cross section and minimum in the sagittal plane. In the three directions of the femur, transfer capability of temperature was different, so the radius of the inactivation of the tumor was also different. Because the 3D temperature space distribution of femur is asymmetry during hyperthermia, the necessary method is to use more than a heat source in order to avoid residual cancer tissue or destructive normal tissue.

BACKGROUND:The power output of the human joints depends on the activation of agonists and antagonist muscles around the joints, and the antagonist muscle is involved in physical activity in a co-activated manner, thereby helping to maintain joint stability. But there are less reports on the central nervous system strategies of antagonist co-activation under different muscle contraction modes. OBJECTIVE:To observe the characteristics and differences of surface electromyography (sEMG) of agonists and antagonist muscles of the knee joints during maximal and submaximal isokinetic exercises until fatigue. METHODS:Sixteen students were enroled, who developed the right knee joint fatigue induced by the Biodex isokinetic equipment, and simultaneously sEMG activities of vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and biceps femoris were recorded by the myoelectrical equipment. The RMS (%) and mean frequency were selected to analyze sEMG characteristics. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the maximal isokinetic fatigue, the peak torque was decreased by 40.3% (P < 0.05) and the sEMG activity of agonists gradualy increased and then declined, but the sEMG activity of antagonists kept constant. In the submaximal isokinetic fatigue, the peak torque was decreased by 40.0% (P < 0.05), the sEMG activity of agonists gradualy increased (P < 0.05), and however the sEMG activity of the antagonists initialy increased and then decreased. The RMS and mean frequency of vastus medialis and lateralis as antagonists at selected reciprocal contractions showed no significant changes (P > 0.05). These results suggest that in the different intensities of isokinetic fatigue, the central nervous system employs different neural strategies on agonists and antagonists.

Objective To evaluate the application of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) artificial eye in acquired ophthalmostewesis. Methods We summarized the experience in the application of PMMA in prosthesis for 8 years. 1155 patients were involved in the artificial eye custom-made program. The artificial eye was individually prepared based on the patient's condition and characters of the healthy eye.Results PMMA artificial eye associated with hydroxyl apatite implantation gave good cosmetic results with good motility, and there was no rejective reaction. The artificial eye was almost same to the real one in color and transparency. Conclusion It is suggested that PMMA is one of the best materials for manufacture of artificial eye at present.

Objective:To explore the personality types a nd the features of clinical subtypes of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Methods:82 cases of OCD were tested using Chinese MMPI that w as revised by MMPI normative cooperative group. We used MMPI-B auto-analysis sys tem made by Ji Shumao et al to calculate the basis scores and T scores of 73 sca les.Results:Basis scores (+K)of scales F,Hs,D,Hy,P d,Pa,Pt,Sc,(males and females)and Si,Mf(males) and K (females) on OCD group were higher that the scores of the normal group. The two-point code of T scores in O CD was 72/27.The factor analysis in 13 scales showed that there were fo ur personality factors in OCD: neuroticism factor (Hs,Hy,D,Pt), psychotic factor (F,Pd,Sc),suspicious factor( F,Ma,Pa), Social introvers ion factor (L,Si,Mf).82 cases of OCD were divided into three groups by K-means o f quick cluster analysis,T scores of 73 MMPI scale s were different among three groups (P<0.000).Conclusio n:The ps ychological features a nd comorbidity and responses to psychotherapy of three groups OCD are different.

In view of the problems that anesthesiology medical students have such as poor commu-nication awareness, lack of communication skills, lack of confidence, and so on, it is particularly important to improve the students’ doctor-patient communication ability, guarantee their medical quality and reduce the dispute between doctors and patients. In the teaching practice, we improve students’ ability of doctor-patient communication by paying more attention to the education of medical ethics, strengthening the train-ing of professional knowledge and skills, optimizing the curriculum structure, improving the quality of teachers, the implementation of case teaching , and establishing a comprehensive evaluation mechanism etc , and have got good results.

Asimplified European procedure now allows the registration of traditional herbal medicines as medicinal products even without the support of clinical data.This procedure entails the requirement that those products comply with European Good Manufacturing Practice for medicinal products,which in turn implies that the raw herbal materials comply with the European Guidelines for Good Agricultural and Collection Practice.On the basis of a comparison between European Good Agricultural and Collection Practice and China Good Agricultural Practice,as well as direct observation made at sites in China,we issue some recommendations to facilitate good communication between the Chinese producer and European pharmaceutical customer,with a view to ensure full compliance with European expectations.

A PCR assay used for detection and quantification of Neotyphodium lolii in tissues of the grass Lolium perenne L. was developed. Compared with the Microscopic analysis of stained tissues, this method was more accurate. For quantitative applications, real time PCR was used to quantify Neotyphodium lolii in Lolium perenne L.. The results showed that there were some variations between different individuals, but no variance existed between different tillers from the same plant. Thus it can be concluded that fungal content in the plant is not only associated with species/variety specific, but also with the genotype of the host plant as well.

Objective To evaluate the safety of laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (CME) in radical resection for right colon cancer. Methods From January 2012 to June 2013, laparoscopic CME was performed in 40 patients with right colon cancer. Another group of 38 patients underwent traditional radical resection from January 2011 to December 2011.Surgical outcomes were compared between the two groups . Results The number of lymph nodes retrieved in the laparoscopic group ( 22.1 ±7.8 ) was significantly more than that in the traditional group (18.6 ±4.3, t =2.436, P =0.017).In patients with stage Ⅲ cancer, the laparoscopic group was associated with higher lymph node counts (23.0 ±6.0 vs.18.2 ±5.1, t=2.699, P=0.000), however, there were no significant differences in those with stage Ⅱ cancer between the two groups (t=0.758, P=0.454).There were no differences in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (t=0.716, P=0.476;t=-1.547, P=0.126), but in the laparoscopic group the time to pelvic drainage tube removal , time to first flatus, time to liquid diet intake , duration of hospital stay, and postoperative complications were significantly better than those in the traditional group (t=-2.950, P=0.004;t=-5.767, P=0.000; t =-7.817, P =0.000; t =-6.065, P =0.000; χ2 =4.504, P =0.034). Conclusions CME technique in laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy is feasible , safe, and effective.CME improves the surgical quality with keeping the integrity of mesocolon , more harvested lymph nodes , and not increasing surgical risks and postoperative complications .

Objective To study the protective effect of glutamine on the intestinal mucosal antioxidation in endotoxemic rats. Methods　Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups, group A:parenteral nutrition supplemented with glutamine, group B:TPN without glutamine,and group C:normal control. Endotoxemia was induced by continous intravenous infusion of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) at a dose of 2 mg/kg per day throughout the 5-day study period. The mucosal protein、DNA、ATP、SOD、MDA、GSH、sIgA were determined. Results The mucosal protein、DNA、ATP、SOD、GSH and sIgA content in endotoxic rats were markedly decreased, MDA was increased as compared with normal control(P＜0.05). The former indices in group A were improved and MDA content was decreased as compared with group B(P＜0.05). Conclusion　Glutamine can improve gut energy metabolism, decrease the extent of mucosal injury of free radicals, and give an protective effect on the mucosal probably by increasing GSH.
