With the development of technology and the deterioration of environment,more and more attention was attracted to the research on fluid dynamics in human upper respiratory tract.In this paper,the methods of research on fluid dynamics in human upper respiratory tract were introduced,and the mechanical models of human upper respiratory tract which were constructed by the scholars in the resent years were summarized.In addition,the current status of research on the airflow movements,the transportation and deposition of the particles in human upper respiratory tract was analyzed.The developing trend of this field was prospected as well.

The effects of solid-state fermentation (SSF) and submerged fermentation (SmF) and the addition of olive oil on the whole-cell lipase production by Rhizopus chinensis CCTCC M201021 were investigated.Compared with SSF, higher biomass, hydrolytic activity and synthetic activity were observed in SmF.By the addition of olive oil, the synthetic activity of whole-cell lipase in both fermentations was enhanced significantly, especially in SmF, while the biomass and the hydrolytic activity were also increased.Hence, olive oil serves as both carbon source and the inducer of lipases in fermentation.It was also found that the synthetic activity of whole-cell lipase was not accordant to the hydrolytic activity during both SmF and SSF, suggesting that isoenzymes with difference in lipase properties may be produced by Rhizopus chinensis.

Objective To determine whether an environmental intervention tailored to each patient's allergic sensitization and environmental risk factors could improve asthma-related outcomes. Methods Irritant or allergen sensitivity determined by the patient's exposure history and confirmed with skin test. Patients were asked to record 2-week days without symptoms, days off-work(or school) and ?2-agonist puffs. Pulmonary function was also examined. Ninety-six asthmatics with atopic asthma (aged 16-78 years) were randomly assigned to a control group, an intervention group that received an educational handout monthly for 2 months. Asthmatics of both groups inhalded budesonide at a daily dose 200-800 ?g and ?2-agonist as needed. Environmental intervention lasted six months and included education and remediation for exposure to allergens. The control group had no special recommendations. Results The intervention group had more days without symptoms compared with the control group (13.4 vs.10.1days, P

24 h)with VAS ranging from 5-9 points.There was no occurrence of severe complications such as infection or shoulder malfunction.[Conclusion]The technique of glenohumeral joint injection without any guidance through modified Nevaiser approach is highly accurate.No complication was noted.This thechnique be widely used in glenohumeral joint injection.

Objective: To establish a RP-HPLC method for the determination of icariin in Bushenning Capsules. Methods: The sample was prepared by water extraction-purfication through polyamide column. The determination was carried out on C 18 ODS column with mobile phase of acetonirile-water (23∶77), and detection wavelength at 270nm according to the external standard method.Results: The icariin sample size showed a good linear relationship at the range of 0.12-1.91ug and correlation coefficient was 0.9999. The average recovery of the added sample was 99.21%(n=5) and RSD was 1.79%. The RSD in a duplicate test was 2.18%.Conclusion: The method is simple, accurate, reproducibe and can be used for content determination of icariin of icariin of Bushenning Capsules.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical characteristics of Segond fracture combined with injuries, and to explore the operative method and opportunity.

METHODSFrom June 2010 to December 2014, 10 patients with Segond fracture were treated. There were 10 males, ranging in age from 26 to 69 years old, with a mean of 42 years old. Under arthroscopy examination within 7 to 10 days after injury, 6 patients had compete rupture of anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus injury; 2 patients had tibial avulsion fractures of the ACL combined with meniscus injury. At 4 to 8 weeks after injury, 2 patients were performed with arthroscopy examination; 1 patient had complete rupture of anterior and posterior cruciate ligament combined with meniscus injury; and the other patient had complete rupture of anterior cruciate ligament alone. All the patients with cruciate ligament rupture were treated with reconstruction of cruciate ligament; 9 patients had meniscus injuries were treated with menisus plasty or suture; and 2 patients had tibial avulsion fractures of the ACL were treated with non-absorbable Ethicon suture fixation under arthroscopy. After operation, the Lysholm scoring system was used to evaluate clinical effects.

RESULTSEight patients were operated within 10 days after injury, the knee joints swelling was obvious at the 3rd day after operation, and blood oozing was found by joint puncture. These 8 patients did out-of-bed activity with assistance at 1 week postoperatively. Other 2 patients performed operation in 4 to 8 weeks after injury without knee joint obvious swelling at the 3rd day after operation, and no blood oozing was found by joint puncture. These 2 patients did out-of-bed activity with assistance after 3 days postoperatively. All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 12 to 24 months, with an average of 18 months. Postoperative Lysholm score of all patients was higher than preoperative scor, and the results were satisfactory.

CONCLUSIONFor Segond fractures, firstly, it is important to gain early diagnosis for treatment. Secondly, it is often associated with the rupture of anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus injuries, and the best time of cruciate ligament rebuilding and meniscus repairing maybe between 4 to 8 weeks after injury. Thirdly, personalized treatment should be chosen according to different complications.

Objective To explore the prevalence of ETS gene fusion in prostate cancer and its correlation with patient's clinicopathologic index.Methods Ninety-one samples from prostate needle biopsy cases with median age 75 (55-90) years and 18 samples from radical prostatectomy cases with median age 72 (63-81) years were collected from Oct.2010 to Feb.2012.TMPRSS2-ERG,TMPRSS2-ETV1 and TMPRSS2-ETV4 fusions were tested by multi-probe fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay.Fusion positive and negative cases were compared with age,TNM stage,Gleason score (median Gleason score 7 (6-9)),and PSA value (median PSA 33.4 μg/L,mcan PSA 118.8 μg/L).In needle biopsy cases,there were early stage 32 (34％),locally advanced prostate cancer 36 (40％),metastasis 23 (26％) ; in radical prostatectomy cases,there were 9 cases in T2 stage,8 cases in T3 stage,1 cases in T4a stage,respectively.Results TMPRSS2-ERG fusions were present in 14.3％ (13/91,95％ confidence interval,0.071-0.215)biopsy specimens and in 11.1％ (2/18,95％ confidence interval,0-0.256) radical prostatectomy specimens.No TMPRSS2-ETV1 or TMPRSS2-ETV4 fusions were found in any cases.Altogether,13 (86.7％)cases possessed deletion pattern.And 7 (46.6％) hold insertion pattern.5 cases had both deletion and insertion pattern.38.5％ (5/13) deletion pattern had distant metastasis.Except one metastatic case harbored both deletion and insertion pattern,there was no insertion pattern accompanied with metastasis.There were no differences between fusion positive and negative cases in the distribution of age (P =1.000),PSA (P =1.138),primary Gleason score (P=2.186),Gleason score (P=2.107),TNM stage (P=2.052) and Risk Degree (P=2.597).Conclusions The TMPRSS2-ERG fusion positive cases harbor more deletion pattern than insertion pattern.There are no differences between fusion positive and negative cases in the distribution of age,PSA,Gleason score,TNM stage and Risk Degree.

Objective To investigate the status of research and research utilization in practice among nurses of hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Methods Two hundred and sixty nurses of hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected to fill out the questionnaire.Results The rates of involvement of research activities and research utilization among nurses of hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were low.The score of every factor ranged from the higher to the lower were communication,organization,research and nurse.Conclusions Involvements of research activities and research utilization among nurses of hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine are insufficient.Most factors associated with nurses' low extent of research utilization are objective factors.It is pivotal for nursing managers to construct supportive professional environment,improve nurses' research and information skills and the capacity of the research utilization.
