Objective To compare the bone microstructure and osteoblast and osteoclast activity in different regions of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.Methods The osteonecrosis femoral heads were collected from 10 patients (Ficat Ⅳ) who had undergone total hip arthroplasty from March 2011 to May 2013.There were 6 males and 4 females.Their average age was 47.7 years old (range,40-57 years).The samples were divided into subchondral bone region,necrotic region,sclerosis region and healthy region according to radiographic results,then the bone microstructure,micro mechanism and osteoblasts/osteoclasts activity were analyzed byMicro-CT,RT-PCR,Nanoindentation,immunohistochemistry and Trap staining.Results According to the micro-CT results,the continuity of trabecular bone in necrotic region was damaged.The number of trabecular was increased and the gap was narrowed in sclerosis region.The shape and number of trabecular bone were normal in the healthy region.The elasticity moduli in different regions were:subchondral bone region 13.808±4.22 GPa,necrotic region 13.999±3.816 GPa,sclerosis region 17.266±3.533 GPa and healthy region 11.927±1.743 GPa.The hardness were subchondral bone region 0.425±0.173 GPa,necrotic region 0.331±0.173 GPa,sclerosis region 0.661±0.208 GPa,and healthy region 0.423±0.088 GPa.The trap staining of subchondral bone in healthy region and necrotic region were positive while other regions were negative.Immunohistochemistry staining showed that compared with necrotic region,the RANK and RANKL staining level increased significantly in subchondral bone and necrotic region,while Runx2 and BMP2 staining level increased significantly in sclerosis region.Conclusion The mechanical properties of trabecular have no significant difference between necrotic region and healthy region in the progress of the osteonecrosis,while the bone structure has obvious changes.An active bone resorption is observed in subchondral bone and necrotic region,while a higher bone formation activity is found in sclerosis region.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between each dimension of emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication ability, and explore how to improve the interpersonal communication ability of residents through targeted emotional intelligence training.Methods:A total of 132 first-year residents of clinical medicine in the residency training base were jointly measured with emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication evaluation scale on the basis of self-assessment and grading. The differences between groups in self-assessment and grading were detected by one-way ANOVA, and the relationship between various dimensions of emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication ability was explored by correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. SPSS 19.0 was used to conduct statistical analysis.Results:The self rating scale clearly divided the subjects into three levels. In the total score of emotional intelligence and its various dimensions, the differences between the three levels were statistically significant; the scores of the "good" group were higher than those of the "fair" group and the "slightly insufficient" group. There were statistical significance in the total score of emotional intelligence ( P<0.001) and its emotional perception ( P<0.001), self emotional management ( P<0.001), others' emotional management ( P<0.001) and emotional utilization ( P<0.001). In the total score of interpersonal communication ability and its various dimensions, the differences among the three levels were statistically significant. In the conflict management, the difference between the "good" group and the "fair" group was not statistically significant, and the differences in other items were statistically significant. The total score of emotional intelligence and its dimensions were positively correlated with interpersonal communication ability ( P<0.001), but the two dimensions that had the most significant impact on interpersonal communication ability were emotional perception and others' emotional management ( R2=0.531, P<0.001). Conclusion:By focusing on the cultivation of each dimensions of emotional perception and other emotional management for residents, it is expected to play a positive role in achieving the national goal of cultivating interpersonal communication skills.

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor(AT/RT)is a rare and highly malignant embryonal tumor of the central nervous system in children,characterized by diverse histological morphology,high malignancy,rapid clinical progression,and poor prognosis for affected children.The pathogenesis of AT/RT involves mutations in chromosomes and genes,particularly the loss of function of the SMARCB1 gene.The diagnosis of AT/RT primarily relies on histological and immunohistochemical analysis.Currently,there is no standardized treatment protocol for AT/RT.The main treatment modalities include surgery,chemotherapy,radiotherapy,as well as emerging targeted therapy and immunotherapy.Despite progress in research and clinical trials on AT/RT in recent years,the prognosis for affected children remains poor,necessitating further research to develop more effective treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.
