For the purpose of improving the hemodynamics of CABG, the authors presented a new amelioration measurement of symmetric 2-way bypass graft. The physiological blood flow in 1-way and 2-way bypass graft of coronary is simulated with finite element method, and the data on computational hemodynamics of these two cases were compared. The temporal-spatial distributions of hemodynamics during the cardiac cycle such as flow patterns and wall shear stress in the vicinity of anastomosis were analyzed. The study results showed that 2-way bypass graft was of more rational hemodynamics when compared with 1-way bypass graft, and it could improve the flow conditions and decrease the probability of restenosis.

Abstract: Objective To explore the dynamic characteristics of stigmatization in HIV/AIDS patients and provide scientific evidence for psychological care. Methods HIV/AIDS patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment in Nanning Fourth People's Hospital were randomly selected for baseline and 1 year follow-up questionnaire survey including internalized HIV stigma, anticipated HIV stigma, exposure to HIV stigma. The differences between the two groups at different time points were dynamically compared to analyze the changing characteristics of stigma in HIV/AIDS patients. Results After one year of ART treatment, among the eight items of internalizing stigma, five items including the proportion of feeling ashamed of being infected with HIV/AIDS, feeling unclean because of being infected with HIV/AIDS, feeling inferior to others because of having HIV/AIDS, feeling guilty because of having HIV/AIDS, and having a poorer self-perception due to how others view HIV/AIDS decreased significantly from 34.0% to 43.5% at the baseline to 19.5% to 29.5%, showing significant improvement with statistical significance (χ2=18.586, 14.277, 10.473, 12.219, 9.934, P<0.05); among the nine items of anticipated stigma, four items including the proportion of community/community workers not taking my needs seriously, discriminating against me, refusing to provide services for me, and healthcare workers avoiding contact with me decreased significantly from 16.0% to 27.5% at the baseline to 7.0% to 15.5%, respectively, showing significant improvement with statistical significance (χ2=13.690, 15.787, 12.034, 12.593, P<0.05); among the 16 items of exposure to HIV stigma, six items including the proportion of experiencing physical attacks, psychological pressure from spouses/partners, being refused sexual relationships, losing jobs or other economic sources, being rejected or losing a job opportunity due to HIV/AIDS, changing job nature due to HIV/AIDS, or being refused medical services decreased significantly from 2.5% to 15.0% at the baseline to 1.0% to 8.0%, respectively, showing significant improvement with statistical significance (χ2=8.619, 15.558, 6.061, 9.049, 5.432, 8.156, P<0.05). Physical assaults on people with HIV/AIDS increased by 5.5 percent(χ2=5.368, P<0.05). Conclusions Through 1-year dynamic monitoring, 48.48% of the three dimensions of stigma of HIV/AIDS patients were alleviated. Treatment intervention, self-acceptance and the creation of a good non-discriminatory social environment have an important impact on the stigma of HIV/AIDS patients and deserve the attention of society as a whole.

Objective To study the effect of soluble, refolded, recombinant extracellular domain of the human Fc gamma receptor Ⅱ a (huFcγRⅡa) on the binding of human IgG to cells. Methods Extra-cellular domain of the huFcγRⅡ a gene was amplified from recombinant plasmid pe3huR Ⅱ by PCR and then cloned into pET-28a vector. The recombinant plasmid pETshuR Ⅱ was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) after identified by PCR and doubly digested. The inclusion bodies of fusion protein were extracted and purified by washing, dissolved in 6 mol/L guanidine buffer, and refolded by rapid dilution technique. The refolding protein activity was tested by ELISA and flow cytometry. Results Extraceilular domain of the huFcγRⅡa gene was successfully cloned into pET-28a. The results of SDS-PAGE showed that the molecular mass (Mr) of the expressed protein was 24.8 × 103, and the expression rate was 30%. The purity of recom-binant shuR Ⅱ was up to 90% after washing. ELISA showed that the recombinant shuR Ⅱ was able to bind human IgG in a dose dependent manner, shuRⅡ could competitively inhibit the binding of human IgG to huFcγRⅡa expressed on the surface of COS-7 cells by flow cytometry. Conclusion The results demon-strate that it is possible to obtain large quantities of recombinant shuR Ⅱ which has comparable binding prep-erties to those of the whole membrane bound huFcγR Ⅱ a.

Objective To evaluate the value of the ratio of optic nerve sheath diameter to eyeball transverse diameter (ONSD/ETD) in assessing intracranial pressure using ultrasound in the patients with brain injury.Methods Forty-six patients of both sexes with brain injury in the surgical intensive care unit,were selected.Craniotomy was performed within 24 h after admission to hospital,and the intracranial pressure probe was placed in the lateral cerebral ventricle of the enrolled patients who were aged 18-80 yr,with Glasgow Coma Scale score 3-15.ONSD and ETD were measured within 3 days after operation,three times a day,and the intracranial pressure was simultaneously recorded.The correlation between ONSD/ETD ratio and intracranial pressure were analyzed using the Pearson correlation analysis.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of ONSD/ETD ratio in assessing the intracranial hypertension (intracranial pressure＞20 mmHg).Results The ONSD/ETD ratio was positively correlated with intracranial pressure (r =0.720,P＜0.01).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.900 (95％ confidence interval 0.854-0.946),and the threshold was 0.248 (sensitivity 89.4％,specificity 77.5％).Conclusion The ONSD/ETD ratio produces higher accuracy in assessing intracranial pressure in the patients with brain injury.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound-determined end-diastolic velocity (EDV) of central retinal artery (CRA) in diagnosing postoperative low cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) in the patients with craniocerebral trauma. Methods: Forty-nine patients of both sexes with brain injury, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-23.9 kg/m², were enrolled.The peak systolic velocity and EDV of CRA were determined using ultrasound at 1 day after operation.Mean arterial pressure and intracranial pressure were recorded, and CPP was calculated (CPP=mean arterial pressure-intracranial pressure). Results: EDV was positively correlated with CPP (r=0.746, P<0.01), and peak systolic velocity was not correlated with CPP (P>0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for EDV in diagnosing low CPP was 0.938 (95% confidence interval 0.871-1.000), and the critical value was 3.205 (sensitivity 94.4%, specificity 76.9%). Conclusion Ultrasound-determined EDV of central retinal artery can accurately diagnose postoperative low CPP in the patients with craniocerebral trauma.

Objective: To analyze the physical characteristics of fine particulate matters (PM_2.5) and submicron particulate matters (PM₁), and investigate the factors influencing the emission peak of printer particles. Methods: A 12-hour particle concentration monitoring for PM_2.5 and PM₁ was conducted in a printing shop on January 5^th, 2018. PM_2.5 in the air was analyzed after the monitoring process to figure out morphological characteristics and element composition of printer particles. Besides, experiments were carried out in an enclosed space to detect the number concentration peaks of PM₁ during every printing process. Influencing factors investigated in this study were printer types, toner coverages and interval time between different printing processes. Results: The 12-hour particles concentration monitoring showed that the number concentration of PM₁ and the mass concentration of PM_2.5 were 7.510×10⁴ pt/cm³ and 96.85 μg/m³. The diameter of most PM_2.5 was less than 100 nm, with a fractal dimension of 2.591. Most PM_2.5 appeared as regular spheres with typical agglomeration phenomenon, while some were in rhabditiform or irregular shapes. Element analysis showed that PM_2.5 was mainly composed of C, O, Si, Ca, with less metallic element. The PM₁ emission peak values of three printers were 3.60×10⁴, 3.43×10⁴, 0.31×10⁴ pt/cm³, respectively and the difference was not statistically significant (χ²=5.42, P>0.05). When the page coverage rate was 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 50%, the PM₁ emission peak value of printer A was 6.74×10⁴, 4.62×10⁴, 3.82×10⁴, 2.82×10⁴, 1.00×10⁴ and 1.08×10⁴ pt/cm³, and the difference was also not statistically significant (χ²=7.01, P>0.05). The natural logarithm of PM₁ emission peak value in printing work was associated with the resting time before printing and the change value of heating roller temperature (r value was 0.83 and 0.89, respectively, all P values<0.05). Conclusion PM_2.5 and PM₁ in the printing shop stayed at a high level. Particles appeared as various shapes and element compositions were complex. The temperature change of heating roller was one of most important factors that lead to the increased number concentration peak of PM₁.

Background: Disrupted circadian rhythms have been associated with the development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In some IBS patients, the symptoms may present with circadian fluctuations. Enterochromaffin cells (EC cells) and tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1) - 5 - hydroxytryptamine (5 - HT) signaling pathway are currently recognized as the key pathophysiological mechanism of IBS. Aims: To explore whether Bmal1, the core circadian clock gene, is involved in the occurrence of IBS by regulating TPH1-5-HT signaling pathway in EC cells. Methods: Normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and IBS-model SD rats, as well as wild type (WT) and intestine-specific Bmal1 knockout (Bmal1
