Processed by the MATLAB-based wavelet analysis,normal EEG signal is used as stimulating source to stimulate brain at proper points for insomnia treatment.This paper explains the design principle of the instrument as well as the hardware structure and the software implementation.

Hypersensitivity reactions ( HSRs) are the serious problems of taxanes in the clinical appli- cation. These reactions range in severity from mild flushing and itching to bronchospasm, dyspnea and signifi-cant alterations in blood pressure with loss of consciousness or not, and death in some rare cases. Nevertheless, HSRs are often reported only sporadically in clinical trials or as case reports. The vague or inconsistent termi-nology used to describe these reactions may reflect our poor understanding of their pathophysiology. This article will reviews the advancement of taxanes HSRs.

Objective To measure the course of the mandibular canal in mandibula posterior area by cone-beam computed tomography ( CBCT ) , to provide a theoretical support for implant preoperative assessment. Methods Mandibular data of 65 people measured by CBCT were collected, measured the distance between mandibular canal around the bone wall and analyzed the differences by gender and the differences between the left and the right. Results The average distance of mandibular canal outer edge to the buccal bone plate by former backward in-creased gradually,at least in the area of the mental formen, at largest in the area of the mental foramen after 18 mm. The average distance between mandibular canal inner edge to lingual bone plate by former backward reduced gradually, at largest in the area of the mental foramen,at least in the area of the mental foramen after 18 mm. The average distance between mandibular canal upper edge to alveolar crest by former backward reduced gradually,at largest in the area of the mental foramen, at least in the area of the mental foramen after 18 mm. The average dis-tance between the edge of mandibular canal to the edge of mandible by former backward reduced previous,then in-creased, at least in the area of the mental foramen after 6 mm, at largest in the area of the mental foramen after 18 mm. All the results had no significant statistical differences between the male and the female, and had no significant statistical differences between the left and the right. Conclusion The trajectory of the mandibular canal from front to back is downward first, then upward in the mesial of the first molar in the vertical, and whose from the buccal side to the lingual side. That has significance for assessment before implant in mandibular posterior area.

Medical equipment is playing an important role in medical treatment, teaching and scientific research, especially in how to improve the utilization rate of large and middle medical equipment to ensure the safety and integrity of medical equipment in the clinical operation, and this is a very significant job. Through the operation of large and middle medical equipment to conduct analysis, comparison and statistics, it can be found the issue and adjusts timely to improve the medical equipment management of the technological level and economic benefits.

Objective To know the health habit about water drinking of the residents in the communities provided with pipe direct drinking water system. Methods From June, 2006 till July, 2006, 340 family were interviewed using the same questionnaire. At the same time, the water samples were collected from the pipe direct drinking water system and tap water. Results Of the interviewed family, 80.37% drank the water of pipe direct drinking water system. 47.66% also used the water for washing, gargling, cooking and so on. 61.69% drank the water without boiling. 69.15% did not abandon the old water before using. 67.29% never sterilized the tap and the detection rate of bacteria in the samples was 83.18%. Conclusion The contamination situation of the pipe direct drinking water system in Podong New District, Shanghai is not to be ignored. The health administrative organization must strengthen the inspection of the pipe direct drinking water system and the health education in this field must be promoted.

To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of fibular osteosynthesis and osteotomy in the treatment of tibial fractures. Medical literature was searched for articles concerning “fibular fracture”and“fibular osteotomy”on Medline to have a comprehensive idea of experiences of others. The results of others and of ours were analyzed and interpreted. Fractures of distal tibia and fibula with displaced distal tibial articular fractures were classic indications of fibular osteosynthesis, but distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and stability of ankle joint were seldom affected by the fibular fracture when tibia was fractured. It is not necessary to perform routine osteosynthesis for distal fibula fracture. Fibular osteotomy may be considered as an adjuvant procedure when atrophic nonunion or deformity union of tibia occurs. It is wise in treatment of tibial fractures not to perform fibular osteosynthesis or osteotomy whenever possible.

Objective To detect the expression of apoptotic inhibitor protein Livin in different esophageal epithelial lesions and to analyze the relation between the expression of Livin with pathologic characteristics. Methods The expressions of Livin mRNA and Livin protein were detected by real- time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot in 40 patients with different esophageal epithelial lesions including normal, atypical hyperplasia, carcino-ma in stiu and invasive carcinoma. Results The expressions of Livin mRNA were progressively increased from nor-mal to invasive carcinoma( 1.00 ± 0. 00,2.26 ± 0.79,7.24 ± 1.06,12.21 ± 2.47 ). There was statistical signifi-cance in Livin mRNA expression among carcinoma in stiu and invasive carcinoma and normal tissues ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The expression of Livin is significantly related to the progression of esophageal cancer,which may be a new target for diagnosis and gene treatment of esophageal carcinoma.

Human Dermatoglyphics is elective in the Shanghai Jiaotong University, which is popular among the students. The 284 anonymous questionaires were received and the result was analyzed. Based on the teaching practice of human dermatoglyphic the opinions about the teaching reform and curriculum construction have been made in this paper.

To improve the quality of postgraduate students,school of medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University have offered medical molecular genetics course to postgraduates and obtained good teaching efficiency. More than ten professors gave lectures on the academic foreland,leading students to find and solve academic problems and training practical and innovative ability of students. Accord-ing to the questionnaires of evaluation of the course and suggestions from postgraduates in the recent two years,some recommendations for the further teaching reform were proposed,such as using multi-plex teaching models,strengthening communication for teaching information with the students,em-ploying comprehensive evaluation methods and strengthening coordination and management of the course.
