Finite element method (FEM)is a calculating method for stress and strain analysis in the field of mechanical engineering.FEM has already been used in the design of medical apparatus,especially of the fixer for fracture treatment.The external fixer taken as an example,the anti-compression,anti-blending and anti-torsion characteristics of a certain type of external fixer are analyzed using FEM.This paper shows that by using FEM,the mechanical property of medical apparatus can be revealed at the designing stage.The strength and rigidity weak pocket can be found,and thus the improvement and optimization of medical apparatus can be made.

Objective: To study the inhibition of antisense TRP1 on cell growth of malignant melanoma(MM) and explore a new way for therapy of melanoma. Methods: Antisense TRP-1 recombinant vector was constructed and transfected into MM cells. According to the results of MTT, cell growth curves were drawn and then clonogenic assay was performed in vitro. At last, tumorigenesis assay was undertaken in nude mice in vivo. Results: Cell proliferations of TRP-1 transfected MM cells were inhibited compared with the control cells. The results of clonogenic assay displayed the difference of clonogenic percentage between TRP-1 transfected MM cells (52% , P

The clinical parameters of 1 000 patients undergoing spinal aesthesia were recorded and analyzed.Hypotension fulfilling the predefined criteria occurred in 173 patients.The logistic regression analysis revealed that the regression coefficients of height,weight and amount of fluid infusion during anesthesia were negative while those of age,emergency operation,hypertension/hypotension,heart disease,American Society of Anesthesiologists score,use of sedative drugs and sensory blocking level of anesthesia positive.The area of receiver operating characteristic was 0.905.This study contributes to the identification of patients with high risks for hypotension after spinal induction.

Objective To investigate the anti-tumor effect of ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) mediated herpes simplex virus thymedine kinase (HSV-TK) on mice ovarian cancer.Methods Forty female BALB/c-nu mice were randomly divided into four groups after the models of subcutaneous transplantation tumors were established:(A)HSV-TK + Microbubbles + Ultrasound (HSV-TK+ MBs + US);(B) HSV-TK+ Ultrasound (HSV-TK + US);(C) HSV-TK;(D) PBS.TheTK protein and mRNA expression were separately detected by western-blot and real time RT-PCR.TUNEL staining was used to detect the tumor cell apoptosis.The inhibition rates and survival time of the animals were compared among all groups.Results The HSV-TK gene transfection efficacy and tumor inhibitory effect of HSV-TK on mice transplantable tumor in group A (HSV-TK + MBs + US) were significantly improved compared with group B (HSV-TK + US),group C (HSV-TK) and group D (PBS) (P ＜0.05).However,group A has no significant difference (P ＞0.05) with other groups in improving the survival time of tumor-bearing mice.Conclusions Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction can effectively transfect HSV-TK gene into target tissues and play a significant inhibition effect on ovarian cancer in mice.However,this new method is not able to improve the survival time of mice for a short-term observation.

Insulin is the most common medicine used for diabetic patients, unfortunately, its effective time is short, even the long-acting insulin cannot obtain a satisfactory effect. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-21 is a recently discovered glucose mediator and expected to be a potential anti-diabetic drug that does not rely on insulin. In this study, db/db mice were used as the type 2 diabetic model to examine whether mFGF-21 has the long-term blood lowering effect on the animal model. The results showed that mFGF-21 could stably maintain the blood glucose at normal level for a long-term in a dose-dependent manner. Administration of mFGF-21 once a day with three doses (0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 mg x kg(-1)) could maintain blood glucose of the model animals at normal level for at least 24 h. Administration of mFGF-21 every two days with the same doses could maintain blood glucose of the model animals at normal level for at least 48 h, although it took longer time for blood glucose to reach to normal level depending on doses used (twenty injections for 0.125 mg x kg(-1) and 0.25 mg x kg(-1) doses, ten injections for 0.5 mg x kg(-1) dose). Surprisingly, the blood glucose of the treated model animals still maintained at normal level for 24 h after the experiment terminated. Glycosylated hemoglobin level of the animals treated with mFGF-21, which represented long-term glucose status, decreased significantly compared to the control group and the insulin group. The results suggest that FGF-21 has potential to become a long-acting and potent anti-diabetic drug.

Objective To investigate and summarize the clinieal effects and cosmetic results of 5-aminolaevulinic acid-photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) on cephalic and facial skin tumors.Methods Patientswith skin basal eell carcinoma(BCC),squamous cell carcinoma (SCC),keratosis seborrheica (KS),and solar keratosis (SK) were included in this study.Inoperable cases were given topical ALAPDT,and received clinical response evaluation and satisfying questionnaire after 3 months follow-up.Resalts28 patients including 16 BCCs,8 SCCs,2 KSs and 2 SKs received ALA-PDT.100% BCC had responseto PDT,including 15 cases with complete response (CR);only one recurred.Overall response rate was 67% for SCC,2 of 8 cases failed to continue the treatment,3 eases CR,1 case partial response (PR) and 1 patient with no response.Response rate was 0% in KS.100% of SK had response to PDT,and 2 cases showed CR and PR,respectively.64.2% patients (18/28) showed extreme satisfaction for cosmetic outcome,11% (3 cases) satisfaction,7.1% (2 cases) little satisfaction,and 10.7% (3 cases) no satisfaction.Conclusion Topical ALA-PDT is an effective and satisfied treatment with lower recurrent rates, especially for cephalic and facial skin tumors including BCC,SCC and SK,but no response for KS.
