Objective Construct the finite element model of vertebral pedicle screw fixation in thoracolumbar fractures can obtain the intuitive systematic mechanical effects under different motion conditions, it has a very important significance to the patients' rehabilitation, evaluation of system stability and prognosis.In this study, the biomechanical effects of different motion states of thoracic and lumbar spine fracture models were analyzed by the finite element analysis method.Methods We selected 1 orthopedic health volunteers from Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region in June 2014, established the finite element model by the CT scan data of the healthy volunteer, used the geometric cutting method for fracture simulation and replacement, assembled posterior orthopedic internal fixation system of vertebral pedicle screw, simulated the different motion states and obtained the stress nephogram and displacement graph of the nail-stick system..Results For the six-nail and two-rod internal fixation system of posterior nail-stick system which set nails through injured vertebrae, we used the finite element operation method to simulate the biomechanical characteristics of different modes of motion in space, it combined by the movement of six directions(flexion, dorsiflexion, left side bend, right side bend, left twist, right twist).The maximum stress(94.99±1.72MPa) and the maximum displacement(0.1854±0.0052mm) and the of the dorsiflexion were significantly lower than that of flexion[(126.82±5.56)MPa、(0.2502±0.0050)mm]、left side bend[(152.18±9.13)Mpa、(0.3172±0.0048)mm]、right side bend[(159.58±13.54)Mpa、(0.3315±0.0051)mm](P<0.05).Conclusion The method of finite element analysis can obtain clear and intuitive biomechanical data, which provides effective evidence for the evaluation of surgical efficacy, the development of postoperative rehabilitation methods and the evaluation of the stability of thoracolumbar spinal system.

Objective:To analyze risk factors that were associated with loss of correction curvature after short-segment restoration and fixation in cases who had single-segment thoracolumbar fracture.Methods:87 Cases who had experienced single-segment thoracolumbar fracture and had underwent short-segment restoration and fixation in our department from Jan 2008 to Jan 2011,and had complete follow-up imaging were included.Cobb angles were measured on lateral thoracolumbar X-ray preoperatively,postoperatively and before removal of internal fixation.And these included the angle formed by vertebras that located above and below injured vertebrae (α angle),superior endplate of injured vertebrae and its superior vertebrae (β angle),inferior endplate of injured vertebrae and its inferior vertebrae (γ angle),inferior and superior endplate of injured vertebrae (δ angle).T-test was used to analyze these angles and their changes.And correlation analysis was used to analyze relationships between α angle change and other risk factors.Results:When compared with preoperative angles,the mean α angle,β angle,γ angle and δ angle were all significantly increased (p<0.05) after the operation.The mean α angle and δ angle before the removal of internal fixation were both significantly smaller than those after the operation (p<0.05),and the mean change ofα angle was-2.85 degrees.After the correlation analysis,we found significant correlations between the change ofα angle and postoperative correction curvature(-0.342,p=0.026),injured region in endplate(0.374,p=0.015),and change of the δ angle(0.231,p=0.041).Conclusion:There was significant loss in the correction curvature before the removal of internal fixation.And the loss was significantly associated with postoperative correction curvature,injured region in endplate,and change of the δ angle.

Objective:To investigate L-type calcium channels of human mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs) cultured in vitro.Methods:hMSCs were isolated,cultured by Percoll gradient centrifugation,adherence to plastic flask and monoclonal culture.Immunophenotypes of hMSCs were detected by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry techniques.Whole cell patch-clamp technique was used to observe the change of L-type calcium channels of human mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs).Results:High homogenous hMSCs had been isolated and cultured in vitro.hMSCs had unique immunophenotypes and they were positive for CD44,CD29,c-kit but negative for CD34,CD31,CD54.Calcium currents could be found in 40 percent of hMSCs,peak currents of calcium(I Ca-Peak ) were (102.67?19.06)pA from +20 mV to +30 mV.The currents could be inhibited by Cd~ 2+ (20 ?mol/L).Conclusion:Undifferentiated hMSCs express less L-type calcium channes,regulation of the chanels might contribute to directional differentiation.

AIM: To investigate the expression of voltage-gated chloride channels (ClC)-3 protein and mRNA in human glioma specimen and its biological function. METHODS: The expression of C1C-3 was observed by immunohistochemical staining in 24 cases of human glioma, 4 cases of brain metastic cancer specimens and 5 cases of normal brain tissue as control; The C1C-3 mRNA expression were detected in the specimens with positive expression of ClC-3 protein by RT-PCR. RESULTS: ClC-3 protein was found negative in 4 cases of normal brain tissues and positive in 19 cases of human glioma and 4 cases of brain metastic cancer specimens. ClC-3 protein was mainly expressed in the membrane or cytoplasm of neoplastic cells and microvascular endothelial cells. The expression of ClC-3 mRNA was detected in 16 cases of human glioma and 4 cases of brain metastasis cancer specimens among the tissues with the positive expression of ClC-3 protein. The level of protein and RNA of ClC-3 in high malignant oligodendrogliomas was higher than that in low malignant ones. CONCLUSION: ClC-3 is generally expressed in human glioma and brain metastic cancer and is probably correlated with the classification of its pathological malignance.

Significant difference in the concentration of gut microflora was observed between the normal group and the obesity group,the normal group and the overweight/obesity group(F=3.62,P<0.05). Among the female volunteers,there were significant differences between normal group and overweight group,between normal group and obesity group(F=1.87,P<0.05). No significant differences in metagenomics concentration of gut microbiota were found in different BMI groups(F=0.60, P>0.05).
Conclusion
There is a correlation between BMI and gut microbiota of college students in Inner Mongolia,the concentration of gut microflora metagenome in overweight and obese people decreased significantly.

The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to February 27, 2022. The database of auricular points for the treatment of climacteric syndrome with auricular acupressure was established using Excel. SPSS 25.0 was used to conduct frequency on auricular points in the database. The association rules were analyzed by SPSS Modeler 18.0 to describe the compatibility and association rules among auricular points.Results:A total of 145 articles were finally included. The main syndrome types of climacteric syndrome were deficiency syndrome, including kidney-yin deficiency syndrome, liver kidney-yin deficiency syndrome and kidney-yang deficiency syndrome. There were 63 auricular points involved in the treatment of climacteric syndrome with auricular acupressure. Most of the auricular points were distributed in the auricular concha. The most commonly used auricular points were kidney, endocrine, liver, and shenmen. The commonly used compatible auricular points for the treatment of climacteric syndrome with auricular acupressure were internal genitalia-endocrine-sympathy, liver-endocrine-kidney-shenmen, internal genitalia-endocrine-subcortex-sympathy-kidney.Conclusions:Data mining can effectively analyze the main syndrome types of climacteric syndrome, the commonly used auricular points and their compatibility rules in the treatment of climacteric syndrome with auricular acupressure, and can provide reliable basis for clinical nurses to select points.
