Objective To explore the correlation between CTvolume rendering (VR) statistics and living age and to build the mathematical models for skeletal age evaluation based on the grow th rules of medi-al clavicular epiphysis of teenagers in China. Methods The thin layer CTscan and VR3D imaging re-construction of both sides of sternal ends of clavicles were exam ined for 684 teenagers aged from 15 to 25 in East and South China. The parameters of sternal end of clavicle including the longest diameter of epiphysis, the longest diameter of metaphysis, their length radio, area of epiphysis, area of meta-physic, their area ratio, and other data were measured and calculated in order to establish mathematical models of skeletal age evaluation. Fifty trained subjects were tested to verify the accuracy of the math-ematical models. Results In the same age group, the length ratio and the area ratio had significant dif-ference in genders (P<0.05). The established mathematical models showed that the grow th rules of medial clavicular epiphysis were highly correlated with the living ages. The accuracies of these models were higher than 70.5% (±1.0 year) and 82.5% (±1.5 year). Conclusion The mathematical models have easy operability and high accuracy. It can be used to confirmand sustain the conclusion of atlas method. M eanw hile, it is of great significance to study the other single skeletal age evaluation in the future.

Objective To summarize the subtle anatomical structures of the normal nasal bone in mul-ti-slice spiral CT (MSCT) image through the observation of the three-dimensional images. Methods One hundred and twenty volunteers who had no nasal trauma and disease history were collected. The nasal was scanned using MSCT. Raw data was reconstructed into bone window images (slice thickness 0.6 mm, slice interval 0.5 mm), and then the images were imported into Syngo Imaging XS software to recon-struct three-dimensional images and to summarize the nasal bone ’s subtle anatomical structures. Results The subtle anatomy of normal nasal bone generally included four seams, two holes and one edge. The four seams were left and right nasal-maxillary suture, nasal-frontal seam, and internasal suture. The two holes were left and right nasal aperture. The edge of the nasal was the lower edge of the nasal bone. In addition, there was suture bone in internasal suture in some normal nose. The nasal aperture mostly was hole-like, but some nasal apertures were line shape. The nasal edge can be divided into flat type, wave-shaped type, inverted spike type, hook-shaped type and others. Conclusion The anatomy diversity and individual differences in nasal bone are large. MSCT and three-dimensional image reconstruction techniques, combined with the history of trauma could distinguish between the normal anatomy and fractures.

Objective:This study was designed to explore the effects and mechanisms of raltitrexed on the growth of the human gastric cancer cell line (MGC-803) transplanted in nude mice. Methods: Models of MGC-803 xenograft transplanted in nude mice were established. Body weight, mental state, food, and stool of the nude mice were closely monitored, and the inhibitory action in the tu-mors was evaluated after drug intervention. Distribution and apoptosis of the tumor cells were examined through flow cytometric assay. P53 mRNA and protein expression levels were determined through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Changes among the three groups were compared. Results:Body weights and tumor volumes of the nude mice were lower in the raltitrexed and 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) groups than those in the control group. Tumor inhibition ratios were 49.02%and 45.75%in the raltitrexed and 5-Fu groups, respectively. In the G0/G1 stage, the number of cells decreased in the raltitrexed and 5-Fu groups. Signifi-cant differences were found between the experimental and control groups (P<0.01). In the S stage, the number of cells increased in the raltitrexed and 5-Fu groups, with significant differences from the control group (P<0.01). P53 mRNA and protein expression levels in the raltitrexed and 5-Fu groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01), but no significant differences were found between the raltitrexed and 5-Fu groups (P>0.05). Conclusion:Raltitrexed can inhibit the growth of MGC-803 xenograft trans-planted in nude mice and shows inhibitory effect similar to that of 5-Fu. Raltitrexed can induce the S-phase block of the cell cycle and cell apoptosis in the MGC-803 xenografts in the nude mice. This drug may exhibit an antitumor effect by upregulating the p53 mRNA and protein expression levels.

Objectives To explore the clinical features of incomplete Kawasaki disease (IKD) which presents with sterile pyuria in infant, in order to achieve early diagnosis and treatment. Methods A retrospective study of 15 infants with IKD was conducted in comparison with 29 patients who were diagnosed with KD according to the diagnostic criteria of American Heart Association 2004. Results Both KD and IKD groups had recurrent fever and poor response to antibiotic therapy. Hemoglobin level was signiifcantly lower in IKD group than in KD group at the onset or 7-d after onset (P<0.05). C-reaction protein (CRP) level was signiifcantly higher in IKD group than that in KD group at 7-d after onset (P<0.05). There were 4 patients with coronary artery abnormality, 2 patients with coronary artery dilation and 2 patients with coro-nary artery aneurysm. Conclusions For infant <1 year old who has pyuria ifrstly, continuous fever for over 5 days when treated by antibiotics and increasing serum inlfammatory markers, incomplete Kawasaki disease should be suspected and the cardiac ultrasound is recommended.
