Objective In order to find early latent faults and prevent catastrophic failures, diagnosis of insulation condition by measuring technique of partial discharge(PD) in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is applied in this paper, which is one of the most basic ways for diagnosis of insulation condition. Methods Ultra high frequency(UHF) PD detection method by using internal sensors has been proved efficient, because it may avoid the disturbance of corona, but the sensor installation of this method will be limited by the structure and operation condition of GIS.There are some of electromagnetic (E-M) waves leak from the place of insulation spacer, therefore, the external sensors UHF measuring PD technique is applied, which isn't limited by the operation condition of GIS. Results This paper analyzes propagated electromagnetic (E-M) waves of partial discharge pulse excited by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The signal collected at the outer point is more complex than that of the inner point, and the signals' amplitude of outer is about half of the inner, because it propagates through spacer and insulation slot. Set up UHF PD measuring system. The typical PD in 252kV GIS bus bar was measured using PD detection UHF technique with external sensors. Finally, compare the results of UHF measuring technique using external sensors with the results of FDTD method simulation and the traditional IEC60270 method detection. Conclusion The results of experiment shows that the UHF technique can realize the diagnosis of insulation condition, the results of FDTD method simulation and the result UHF method detection can demonstrate each other, which gives references to further researches and application for UHF PD measuring technique.

[Objective] To observe the anti-aging actions of total saponins of Radix Notoginseng, i.e., Panax Notoginseng saponins (PNS) on rats with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). [Methods] Among 90 Wistar rats, 15 rats aged 3 months were allocated to the youth group, 15 aged 15 months to the aged group, and other 60 aged 15 months were given with intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose and injection of ibotenic acid into bilateral Meynert nucleus basalis to establish the models of AD. After then, the surviving model rats were randomized into four groups: model control, high-dose PNS (200mg?kg-1?d-1), low-dose PNS (100 mg?kg-1?d-1) and huperzine A (0.3 mg?kg-1?d-1).

The value of MSD after TACE were lower than that before TACE, but no statistical significance was found (P>0.05). Conclusion MR PWI is a very sensitive imaging technique that be used to monitor blood flow changes of HCC before and after TACE and evaluate efficacy of TACE.

Objectives To put forward the modified Letournel classification of acetabular fractures,and evaluate the guiding role of the modified Letournel classification in clinical work.Methods A retrospective study of 170 patients (178 sides) with acetabular fractures treated at Nanfang Hospital between January 2006 and August 2018 was performed.Among them 129 cases were males and 41 were females.The average age was 40.2±14.2 years (range,14-82 years).According to the Letournel classification,unclassifiable/atypical acetabular fractures were found out with plain Ⅹ-ray and plain CT scan and three-dimensional CT,and then their unclassifiable reasons were analyzed.Based on anatomical landmarks,clear boundaries of acetabular walls were defined on the 3D printed pelvic model.The structure of each column is a trihedron.The wall's fracture and column's fracture were distinguished using a theory that the wall's fracture involved two surfaces of column with interruption of continuity and column's fracture involved three.When column's fracture associated with wall's fracture,lowercase a,p and q were used representing comminuted areas of corresponding anterior and posterior wall,quadrilateral plate respectively.When column's fracture didn't associates with wall's fracture,it is marked with number 0.Finally,all fractures were classified according to the modified Letournel classification.The relationship between fracture type and surgical approach was analyzed.Results There was 51.7％ (92 sides) of acetabular fractures that couldn't be classified by the Letournel classification.Incomplete fracture lines (49 sides,53.3％),comminuted fractures (28 sides,30.4％),both of them (15 sides,16.3％) were their unclassifiable reasons.There were 8 types in the modified Letournel classification,including posterior wall fracture,posterior column fracture,anterior wall fracture,anterior column fracture,transverse fracture,T-shaped fracture,anterior column+posterior hemitransverse fracture,and both columns fracture.Posterior column+posterior wall fracture,transverse+posterior wall fracture had respectively become a form of posterior column fracture and of transverse fracture.According to the modified Letournel classification,the reclassification rate of 178 side fractures was 100％,which was significantly higher than 48.3％ (86/178) of the traditional Letournel classification,and the difference was statistically significant (x2=124.06,P＜ 0.001).100％ of posterior wall fracture and 80.00％ of posterior column fracture were treated by posterior approach.100％ of anterior column fracture and 73.68％ of both columns fracture were treated by anterior approach.Conclusion All acetabular fractures can be classified by the modified Letournel classification.The orientation of the comminuted walls reflects in part severity of the injury,better helps orthopaedic surgeons understand the morphology of acetabular fractures and select appropriate surgical approach.

Objective:To evaluate internal fixation via only the modified Stoppa approach in the treatment of central hip dislocation complicated with fracture of the posterior acetabular wall.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in the 13 patients with central hip dislocation and fracture of the posterior acetabular wall who had been treated at Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Nanfang Hospital between February 2015 and February 2018. They were 10 men and 3 women, aged from 31 to 65 years (average, 46.7 years). All patients were treated with internal fixation via only the modified Stoppa approach. The reduction of double-column and posterior wall fractures was evaluated according to the X-ray Matta scoring system, as well as to the Wiberg central-edge (CE) angles between the vertical line of the center point of the femoral head and the lateral edge of the acetabulum and acetabular tolerance on the normal and affected sides immediately after operation; the hip function was evaluated by the modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel scoring system at 12 months after operation.Results:All patients were followed up for 16 to 52 months (average, 25.6 months). In all of them, reduction and fixation of central hip dislocation and acetabular fracture was completed successfully, and indirect reduction of posterior wall fracture and acetabular tolerance were satisfactory. Operation time ranged from 130 to 270 min, averaging 155.5 min; intraoperative blood loss from 600 to 5,600 mL, averaging 1,150.5 mL; intraoperative infusion of concentrated red blood cells from 2 to 12 U, averaging 6 U. By the X-ray Matta scoring system immediately after operation, anatomical reduction was achieved in 4 posterior wall fractures and satisfactory reduction in 9 ones. There was no significant difference between the normal and affected sides in the CE angle (43.53°±3.46° for the affected side versus 43.19°±3.28° for the normal side) or in the acetabular tolerance (76.56%±15.50% for the affected side versus 75.32%±16.24% for the normal side) ( P>0.05). The modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel scores at 12 months after operation ranged from 12 to 18 points, averaging 16.5 points; the hip function was assessed as excellent in 9 cases, as good in 3 and as fair in one. By the last follow-up, none of the 13 patients lost fracture reduction, and their internal fixation was firm with no loosening or breakage. Conclusion:In the treatment of central hip dislocation complicated with fracture of the posterior acetabular wall, internal fixation via only the modified Stoppa approach can lead to satisfactory fracture reduction, firm fixation, good hip joint tolerance, and fine clinical efficacy.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of KIR/HLA alleles with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among ethnic Han Chinese patients from southern China. METHODS: For 95 patients with HCC and 171 healthy controls, the genotype of HLA-C alleles was determined with a PCR sequence-specific oligonucleotides typing method on an Illumina GenDx NGSgo platform. Genotypes comprised of HLA-C and KIR gene alleles were also subjected to statistical analysis. RESULTS: In total 16 KIR genes (2DL2, 2DS2, 2DS3, 2DS5, 3DS1, 2DS1, 2DL5, 2DS4, 3DL1, 3DP1, 2DL3, 2DP1, 3DL3, 2DL1, 3DL2 and 2DL4) were discovered in the two groups. The frequencies of KIR2DL3 alleles and combinational genotypes of KIR2DL3/HLA-C1C2 were significantly lower in the patient group compared with the controls (0.9368 vs. 0.9883, χ²>3.84; P<0.05, OR = 0.1; 0.0112 vs. 0.2663, χ²>3.84; P<0.05, RR = 0.03). The frequency of HLA-C2C2 genotype of the patient group was significantly lower than that of the controls (0.0316 vs. 0.2690, P<0.05, RR = 0.09), while the frequency of HLA-C1C2 genotype was significantly higher than that of the controls (0.2316 vs. 0.0058, P<0.05, RR = 51.23). CONCLUSION Above results suggested that the KIR2DL3 allele is associated with lower risk for HCC. There may be individual difference in patients with HCC and HBV infection but various combinations of KIR/HLA alleles.

Blast injury of the chest injury is the most common wound in modern war trauma and terrorist attacks, and is also the most fatal type of whole body explosion injury. Most patients with severe blast injury of the chest die in the early stage before hospitalization or during transportation, so first aid is critically important. At present, there exist widespread problems such as non-standard treatment and large difference in curative effect, while there lacks clinical treatment standards for blast injury of the chest. According to the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement, the Trauma Society of Chinese Medical Association has formulated the guidance of classification, pre-hospital first aid, in-hospital treatment and major injury management strategies for blast injury of the chest, aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
