In order to check the neck response and injury during motor vehicle accidents, we developed a detailed finite element model for human cervical spine C4-C6. This model consisted of cortical bone, cancellous bone, annulus, nucleus, ligaments and articular facet, and it also set up contact in the contacting parts for simulating the movement perfectly under frontal impact. This model could be used for stress and strain distribution after the frontal impact load was applied on this model. During the process of frontal impact, the most displacement simulated data were in the interval range of experimental data. The experimental results showed that this model for the human cervical spine C4-C6 simulated the movement under the frontal impact with fidelity, and reflected the impact dynamics response on the whole.

The study aims to solve the instability problem of methylphenidate (MPH) in plasma, and establish a LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determining of MPH in human plasma. The stabilities of MPH in different media were studied, and the degradation characteristics of MPH in these media were also investigated by HPLC and LC-MS/MS. To a 200 microL aliquot of freshly collected plasma sample, 10 microL 2% formic acid was added immediately to prevent the hydrolysis of MPH in human plasma samples. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Sapphire C18 column using the mobile phase of methanol - 5 mmol.L-1 ammonium acetate buffer solution containing 0.1% formic acid (46 : 54). MPH was quantified by tandem mass spectrometry operating in positive electrospray ionization mode with multiple reaction monitoring. The detection used the transitions of protonated molecules at m/z 234.2-->84.1 for MPH and m/z 260.3-->183.1 for propranolol (IS), separately. The intra- and inter-assay precisions were all below 5.0%. The accuracies were all in standard ranges. The linear calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range of 0.035-40 ng.mL-1. The methods fulfilled the demand. The method was used to determine the concentration of MPH in human plasma after a single dose of 36 mg MPH tablet to 6 healthy Chinese volunteers. The method is suitable for the precisely determination of MPH and for pharmacokinetic study of MPH in human plasma.

To explore the clinic characters,treatments and prognosis of patients with primary bone lym-phoma( PLB ) .The clinical symptoms, signs, X -ray features, pathological morphology, immunophenotype and treatment of 7 patients with PLB were analyzed retrospectively and the pertinent literatures were reviewed.The re-sults showed that the main complains of 7 cases of PBL were local pain.The CT showed osteolytic bone destruc-tion and soft tissue swelling.There were 3 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma,1 case of Burkitt-type lympho-ma,1 case of periferal T-cell lymphoma,1 case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma,and 1 case of Hodgkins lym-phoma.2 patients presented with stageⅠ,4 with stageⅡ,and 1 with stage 3.The therapeutic procedure includes local radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and targeted therapy.The clinical presentation of PLB is not spe-cial.The diagnosis and identification of histological type of PLB should be established by histopathological and im-munohistochemistry examinations.Early diagnosis and active therapy could improve the prognosis of PLB.Combi-nation therapy including radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the optimal treatment for PLB.

Objective To explore the incidence and clinical characteristics of Han and Uygur pa- tients with ulcerative colitis(UC)in xinjiang.Methods Six hundred and ninty nine patients with UC from 2000 to 2006 were retrospectively reviewed.Patients were divided into 2 groups according to ethnic back- ground,including 522 Han patients and 177 Uygur patients.General data,age,clinical manifestation,le- sion range,lesion degree and complications were recorded in the 2 groups respectively.Results The detec- tion rate of UC by endoscopy in Urgur group was higher than that in Han group(P

OBJECTIVETo investigate the imtrusion of overerupted molars with microscrews as anchorage.

METHODSThirteen adult patients were treated with microscrew anchorage and fixed appliances. Twenty-three overerupted posterior maxillary teeth were intruded. The intrusive movement was investigated on cephalometric radiographs.

RESULTSThe molars were intruded and the occlusal plane was corrected successfully in all patients. The treatment period of intrusion was from 5 to 18 months (mean 10.4 months). Significant true intrusion of overerupted maxillary molars, ranged from 0.45 mm to 7.00 mm [mean (2.86 +/- 1.80) mm], was achieved (P < 0.001). The apical root resorption was not clinically significant and the bone level was unchanged.

CONCLUSIONSThe microscrew anchorage and fixed appliances were applicable and efficacious for intrusion of overerupted maxillary molars.

The genome of a new SV40 strain(SV-IMB)isolated from a rhesus monkey was completely sequenced and compared with other isolates.The results showed that the whole genome contains 5246bp,and the average identity of SV-IMB was 98.1% as compared to other SV40 isolates.Its regulatory region is composed of a complete enhancer and a defective enhancer.Amino acid changes occurred to some extent in both the large T antigen (T-Ag) and VP1 region.The findings demonstrate that the SV-IMB is a new SV40 isolate.

Objective:To discuss the topical action characteristics of the biological transmission of moxibustion heat via temperature collection and numerical modeling.Methods:Temperature of moxibustion was measured at multiple points at a distance of 3 cm to obtain the moxibustion temperature field nephograms by the high-accuracy temperature measure array.Finite element analysis was used to imitate the three-dimensional dynamic distribution of temperature in acupoint tissues.Results:Through numerical analysis,the one-dimensional,two-dimensional and three-dimensional distributions of temperature in human acupoint tissues at 5 min of moxibustion were established.The result showed that moxibustion heat mainly transmitted from the surface of the tissue to the internal,and the influence of moxibustion heat decreased with the depth of the tissue.The analysis of the nephograms of acupoint tissue temperature at 5,10,15 and 20 min of moxibustion showed that with the increase of the moxibustion time,the temperature in acupoint tissues constantly rose,and the transmission depth of moxibustion heat also further expanded inside acupoint.Conclusion:By establishing the three-dimensional dynamic model of heat transmission inside acupoint tissues with the biological parameters of human tissues and the temperature values obtained,this study used finite element analysis software ANSYS 14.0 and discovered the rules in the transmission of heat in body tissues during moxibustion,and the features in moxibustion heat transmission (from the proximal to the distant) and heat penetration (from the surface to the internal).This study provides theoretical and experimental support for the application of moxibustion in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of rituximab-containing regimens on post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) following haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods The clinical data of 3 cases of PTLD after haploidentical HSCT were analyzed retrospectively. Time to development of PTLD ranged from 57 to 164 days after HSCT.The main symptoms included fever, superficial lymph node enlargement. Epstein-Bart virus (EBV)-positive B-cell PTLD was diagnosed by biopsy of lymph node. Management of 3 patients consisted of withdraw of immunosuppressive treatment, anti-viral therapy, rituximab (375 rng/m2 , per week for four weeks) monotherapy or chemotherapy plus rituximab. Results All the patients had complete remission after treatment. Conclusion PTLD is a serious complication of HSCT especially haploidentical HSCT. Rituximab-containing regimens are potentially effective, well-tolerated with mild toxicity and improve the prognosis of PTLD following haploidentical HSCT.

HTR1A is a kind of receptor subtypes to express the most 5-HT in the brain of mammalian. Genetic variation in the gene through influencing the expression of receptors or changing the activity of the ligand binding to increase or decrease the function of 5-HT, so it played a key role in the pathogenesis of depression and other mental system diseases. The article reviewed the association between the genetic mutations of HTR1A and the corresponding mental system disease. Research the relationship of HTR1A gene and mood changes such as depression, panic, impulsive personality and its significance in forensic judicial authentication. To explore the causes of criminal mode from the perspective of gene - psychology - social model.
