2. Compression fracture simulation of osteoporotic trabecular bone in ovariectomized rats
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;24(15):2387-2392
BACKGROUND: At present, related finite element models have been used to simulate the femoral fracture, and the effects of loading rate, loading angle and cancellous bone on the fracture of hip have been discussed. However, the fracture simulation of trabecula is still lack of relevant research. OBJECTIVE: To simulate the biomechanical process of osteoporotic trabecular compression fracture in ovariectomized rats. METHODS: The right femur of ovariectomized rats was scanned at the distal end of femur by Micro-CT. The microstructure parameters and three-dimensional model of the region of interest of the rat femur were obtained. After geometric optimization in Geomagic Studio, they were pretreated in HyperMesh 14.0, including volume mesh division, setting material property parameters, boundary conditions, setting load of 1 200 N, acting time of 2 ms, and they were calculated in LS-DYNA software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The bone trabeculae in the region of interest showed uneven spatial distribution. (2) The bone trabeculae with small volume and small number first presented deformation fracture, and the plate shape and bone trabeculae with large volume finally demonstrated fracture collapse. (3) The change trend of von Mises stress was roughly the same as that of bone trabeculae fracture collapse. The fracture collapse process of bone trabeculae in the region of interest included vertical collapse and horizontal torsion, in which the degree and rate of horizontal torsion were lower than that of vertical collapse, making the size and rate of cross-section torsion angle less than that of coronal plane angle. (5) The increase and peak value of shear stress of failure unit were smaller than Von-mises stress. (6) These results indicate that fracture collapse of bone trabecula is a complex process, including deformation and angle of different planes.

Objective To analyze the cancer mortality and epidemiological characteristics of digestive system cancer in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, and to provide a scientific evidence for formulating preventive measures for digestive system cancer. Methods Excel and SPSS software were used to collect the monitoring data of digestive system cancer death in Xianyou County from 2014 to 2018, and then analyzed the mortality, the standardized rate (according to the Chinese 2000 population census) and the cause of death. Results From 2014 to 2018, the deaths of malignant tumors in Xianyou County accounted for 35.00% of all deaths. Among them, the four common digestive system malignant tumors (gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer and colorectal cancer) accounted for 62.44% of malignant tumors. Gastric cancer ranked first and accounted for 27.36%. Average annual rate of crude mortality and standardized mortality of malignant tumor in the digestive system were 108.93/105 and 89.34/105, respectively, and the ratio of male to female was 2.27 to 1. Significant differences were found between town and village, as the terrain gets lower, the death rate goes down gradually. Compared with the data of 2011-2012, the standardized death rate of gastric cancer, esophageal cancer and liver cancer were reduced by 29.71%, 23.92% and 12.06%, respectively, while the rate of colorectal cancer was increased by 28.80% and the average annual growth rate was 7.83%. Conclusion Although the death rates of gastric cancer, esophageal cancer and liver cancer have decreased significantly, the malignant tumor of the digestive system is still the main disease that causes the death of residents in Xianyou County, Putian City. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the education of health in order to achieve the early discovery, diagnosis and treatment.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(7):964-968
Abstract
Speed is an important component of physical fitness testing for students around the world. On the whole, the different testing systems usually set up various indexes based on the moving speed, action speed and reaction speed; the indexes are diverse but uniform in number; there are differences in the age of application of the indexes and no gender differences. As far as the classification of indexes is concerned, there are two types of movement:sprinting and shuttle run, for the moving speed test indexes; there are differences in the need for action speed and reaction speed tests. Based on this, from the perspective of energy metabolism and health benefits, the properties and testing methods for measuring moving speed and the need for action speed and reaction speed testing are analyzed. The study shows that acceleration capability should be a measured attribute of moving speed,the 30 m running can be used as a general index of moving speed for all students; the shuttle run is not suitable as an index of moving speed; action speed is less correlated with physical health, so it should not be included in the testing system for the time being; and reaction speed which closely relates to physical health,should be included in the testing system.
