Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2016;18(1):42-46
Objective To investigate the value of 3D rapid prototype technology in therapy of complex pilon fractures.Methods In this study,60 patients with pilon fracture who had been hospitalized during January 2013 to May 2014 were randomly and equally divided into a 3D group and a control group according to their hospitalization order.The 3D group:21 males and 9 females,an average age of 34.8 ±6.0 years,13 cases of AO type C2 and 17 ones of AO type C3.The control group:21 males and 9 females,an average age of 35.8 ±6.2 years,12 cases of AO type C2 and 18 ones of AO type C3.The 3D group received surgery aided by rapid prototype and 3D printing while the control group underwent conventional surgery with open reduction and internal fixation.In the 3D group,the distal tibia models were manufactured by 3D rapid prototyping technology based on the 3D reconstructions which were accomplished by computer aided technology.The diagnosis,classification and preoperative plan were then conducted using the models.The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time,postoperative skin necrosis and infection,and Maryland foot function scoring at the last follow-up.The 2 groups were compatible in preoperative demographic data (P > 0.05).Results There were significant differences between the 3D and control groups in operation time (65.1 ±4.8 minutes versus 80.5 ± 3.6 minutes) and rate of postoperative complications [6.7% (2/30) versus 16.7% (5/30)] (P <0.05).There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the excellent to good rate by Maryland foot function scoring at the last follow-up [76.7% (23/30) versus 73.3% (22/30)] (P > 0.05).Conclusion Since rapid prototype and 3D printing technology can display the morphology of pilon fracture intuitively and stereoscopically,it helps surgeons with accurate assessment of the fracture.3D printed models of the pilon fracture pre-operatively raise the accuracy of reduction,reduce both operation time and incision complications,and facilitate functional recovery.
8.Progress on DAB2IP gene
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2011;27(7):1445-1449
Human DAB2 interaction protein (DAB2IP) is a novel member of Ras GTPase-activating protein family. It interacts directly with disabled-2 protein (DAB2/DOC2) which suppresses growth of cancers derived from different tissues, including mammary, prostate and ovarian cancers. DAB2IP was identified as an immediate downstream effector mediated by DAB2/DOC2. DAB2IP and DAB2/DOC2 form a unique protein complex that has a negative regulatory effect on the Ras-mediated signal pathway. It is demonstrated that DAB2IP is a tumor suppressor gene inactivated by methylation in several cancers. This article reviews the structure and biological functions of DAB2IP gene as well as its potential roles in carcinogenesis and evolution.

Chinese Health Economics 2013;(10):5-7
Objective: To explore the effect of health insurance on consumption for rural and urban households. Methods: Using empirical study with the method of quasi-social experiment. Results: Households with health insurance have more consumption than those without health insurance. The higher the coverage of family health insurance improves, the more effects medical insurance would encourage family consumption. Meanwhile, the marginal effect of health insurance on rural households ’ consumption is much bigger than that of urban households. Conclusion: Through enhancing households’ risk tolerance, health insurance reduces households’ precautionary saving motivation and impels to increase the current consumption.
