Objective To explore the alterations of resting-state neural networks in females with migraine at attack stage in low-and high-frequency ranges compared to healthy controls. Methods Resting-state magnetoencephalography data from 20 females with migraine ( migraine group ) and 20 age-and gender-matched healthy controls ( control group ) were collected to compute the neural network parameters through graph theory analysis.Independent samples t test was used to compare the difference of the network parameters between the two groups.The Pearson coefficient was used to assess the relationship between the abnormal network parameters and clinical manifestations of migraine.Results Compared with control group, females in migraine group at attack stage showed increased functional connectivity in the 0.1 -1 Hz, 4 -8 Hz, 12 -30 Hz, 30 -80 Hz band; increased shortest path length in the 80-250 Hz band; increased clustering coefficient and degree in the 0.1 -1 Hz band;decreased clustering coefficient and degree in the 4 -8 Hz, 12 -30 Hz band ( P<0.05 -0.01 ) .The functional connectivity of females with migraine at attack stage was positively correlated with number of years with migraine in the 12-30 Hz ( r=0.56, P=0.01 ) .Conclusion These results indicate that inherent neural networks are significantly impaired in low-and high-frequency ranges in females with migraine at attack stage and may contribute to the clinical manifestations of this disorder.

Objective To compare the biomechanical properties of non-locking compression plate (DCP) and locking compression plate (LCP) in the internal fixation of humeral shaft fracture by means of finite element analysis.Methods Three-dimensional finite element models were constructed to simulate DCP and LCP internal fixation of humeral transverse fracture.The DCP and LCP groups were compared in terms of peak stress on the humeral fracture fragments (MPa),peak stress on the screws (MPa),and overall displacement peak value (mm) under 4 basic loads (bending,shear,torsion and compression).The biomechanical stability was analyzed after fracture fixation.Results The stress tended to concentrate at the connection sites of plate and screws and distributed evenly on DCP.The stress distributed in a gradient manner at the multiple screw holes and tended to concentrated on the central screws on LCP.Under the bending,shear and torsion loadings,the peak stresses on the fracture fragments and screws in the DCP fixation were larger than in the LCP fixation.However,under the compression loading,the peak stresses on the fracture fragments and screws in the DCP fixation were smaller than in the LCP fixation.DCP and LCP had similar trends in displacement.Under the bending,shear and torsion loadings,the overall displacement peak values in LCP fixation were smaller.However,under the compression loading,the overall displacement peak values in DCP fixation were smaller.Conclusions DCP and LCP have similar biomechanical properties to resist bending,shear,torsion and compression.Due to the gradient distribution of stress among the screw holes,LCP is more suitable for patients with comminuted fracture or osteoporosis.Stress distribution is more even in DCP.Surgeons should consider the advantages of both DCP and LCP to achieve better stability.

Understanding the pattern and molecular mechanisms of tooth, maxilla and mandible development is the prerequisite for studying their regeneration. Tooth development can be divided into three stages: bud-bell stage, tooth crown development stage and tooth root development stage. During these processes, key genes show spatial and temporal expression pattern. Tooth development is a complex process involving interactions between dental epithelium and mesenchyme, precise regulations of enamel knots in cusp patterning, as well as successful eruption into the oral cavity under proper biomechanical stress and signaling transductions. The development of tooth, maxilla and mandible, all of which originate from the first branchial arch, is independent and regulates each other to form a whole during development. Any developmental defects of them will ultimately cause defects to the others. In this paper, we briefly reviewed the development of tooth, maxilla and mandible, proposed that the homeostasis of microenvironment is critical for their development. Moreover, we reviewed the role of Meckel’s cartilage, a special structure and signaling mechanism during mandible development. At last, we proposed an integrated development model of tooth, maxilla and mandible. We also hope that the regeneration of fully functional tooth, maxilla and mandible in human can be achieved based on fundamental knowledge we have gained so far.

Objective To explore the correlation of fatigue with health-promoting lifestyle in the udnergraduate students, so as to provide scientific evidence for the intervention. Methods A cross-section trial was carried out in the undergraduate students from a medical university in Guangzhou. By a self-designed questionnaire, the incidence of fatigue in the undergraduate students was figured out after data processing and statistical analysis. Results A total of 6 100 questionnaires were released, and 5 843 were responded, with a respondent rate being 95.79%. The number of effective questionnaires arrived 5 676. The results showed that the prevalence of fatigue among undergraduate students was 49.6%. The female had a higher risk than the male ( 51.6% vs 45.8%, P<0.01). The prevalence of fatigue in grade 1-3 students was 49.4%, 48.1% and 52.1% , respectively, the difference being insignificant among the three grades (P>0.05). The students with poor level of health-promoting lifestyle had a higher risk of suffering from fatigue (OR=6.647, 95%CI: 4.913-8.993). Conclusion Fatigue is prevalent among the undergraduate students. The incidence of fatigue can be reduced by increasing the level of self-actualization, physical exercise and pressure management.
