OBJECTIVE:
To study the application of isokinetic muscle testing in identification of the faked paralysis to provide scientific data for establishing a standard system of muscle strength in forensic medicine identification.
METHODS:
Fifty-seven patients with bone fracture or nerve damage as damaged group and 128 normal subjects pretended paralysis as faked paralyzed group were included in this study. Isokinetic muscle testing was performed on bilateral knees of all subjects in the two groups. The peak torque (PT) and peak torque angle (PTA) were compared between both sides in each group. The features of torque-time graph of two groups were classified.
RESULTS:
In the damaged group, the differences of PT between two sides of flexors and extensors were statistically significant (P<0.05), while the dif- ferences of PTA were not statistically significant (P>0.05). In faked paralyzed group, the differences of PT and PTA between two sides of flexors and extensors were both statistically significant (P<0.05). The torque-time graph of damaged knee presented mostly as single lead peak, while torque-time graph of the faked paralyzed knee presented mostly as multiple peaks.
CONCLUSION
The feature of torque-time graph could be useful to identify the faked paralyzed extremities in forensic authentication.

Rapeseed oil is one of the major raw materials for biodiesel production. The bottleneck of rapeseed oil-based biodiesel production at present is high cost of raw materials, which generally accounts for about 75% of total production cost. Current status and principal problems concerned in the production of biodiesel from rapeseed oil in China and other countries were introduced, based on which it was proposed to grow high-erucic acid rape in existing winter fallow fields and jointly produce biodiesel, erucic acid and its derivative products, and other highly valuable by-products such as glycerin and sterols from high-erucic acid rapeseed oil. The feasibility of this development strategy was analyzed in terms of product and market demand potential, economic benefits of enterprises, techniques and conditions of production, and source of raw materials. It was believed that the implementation of the strategy in China was of great significance in realizing rise and sustainable development of rapeseed oil-based biodiesel production, improving quality of biodiesel, promoting the development of biochemical engineering and many other industries, as well as in building a socialist new countryside.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexamethasone combined with clomiphene on serum sex hormone levels in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Methods 80 pregnancies with polycystic ovary syndrome treated in our hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were selected and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 40 cases in each group. The observation group was given dexamethasone combined with clomiphene, while the control group was given simple clomiphene. Compared the curative effect and the change of the levels of progesterone and estradiol before and after treatment for three months. Results After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 95.00%, higher than the total effective rate of the control group was 72.50%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), compared the levels of progesterone(P), estradiol(E2), luteinizing hormone(LH) and LH/FSH in the observation group and the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), after treatment, both levels were higher than before treatment. The total ovulation rate of the observation group was 90.00%, higher than the total ovulation rate of the control group was 72.50%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The level of progesterone and estradiol in serum of polycystic ovary syndrome treated by dexamethasone combined with clomiphene had a obvious positive correlation (r=0.746, 0.812, 0.731 and 0.796, P<0.05). Conclusion Dexamethasone combined with clomiphene treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome than using only clomiphene treatment is good, which can also improve serum hormone levels in patients, effectively improve the patient's endocrine abnormalities.

Objective To ascertain the pressure ulcer prevalence among secondary and tertiary general hospitals in different areas of Guangdong Province, and describe pressure ulcer related nursing measures in hospitalized patients. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive design was used in the present study. 5 secondary and tertiary general hospitals including 25164 hospitalized patients from different regions in Guangdong Province were recruited. There were 267 pressure ulcer patients among them. Minimum Data Set (MDS) was used to measure prevention measures of hospitalized patients. Pressure ulcer patients′questionnaire was used to measure medical treatment of pressure ulcer patients. Results The overall prevalence rates of pressure ulcers in the 25 hospitals range from 0 to 3.49%, with an average of 1.26%. The prevalence rate in the secondary general hospitals was 1.8%(41/2266), which was significant higher than that of in the tertiary general hospitals(1.0%, 226/22998), χ2=13.48, P<0.01. For the hospitalized patients at risk, 42.0%(1408/3353) of patients didn′t use any systemic support surface, 45.8%(1537/3353) of patients didn′t use any local support surface. In the pressure ulcer patients, 35.2%(94/267) of patients didn′t use any systemic support surface, 14.2% (38/267)of patients didn′t use any local support surface, and 61.4%(164/267) of pressure ulcer patients didn′t use any skin care products. Conclusion The prevention measures of pressure ulcer in Guangdong province were not effective, further improvements are still required.
