Objective To develop an alignment technique based on the movement of body gravity center. Methods As join forces in the system of balance is zero, the position of body gravity center can be calculated by body gravity which is taken from weight sensors, by the special software. Meanwhile, the position of body gravity will be sent to control unit, which can be transformed to driving signal of motor. The sliding table with laser, linked to motor, can make pursuit movement following with body gravity. A precise alignment can be made as the movement of body gravity. The balance function test is also used to make an assistant estimate for the alignment. Results and Conclusion An alignment technique has been developed for the fit of prosthesis and orthotics.

Objective:To study the effect of portal vein occlusion on intestinal mucosal barrier in rats and the protection of ulinastatin to the injury,to present the experimental data for the clinical surgery.Methods:70 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into controlled group (n=10),operation group (n=30) and operation+medication group (n=30).The portal vein were occlused 40 min in the operation groups and operation+medication groups.2ml blood from portal vein,lymph nodes around appendix,1cm small intestine wall were taken for endotoxin levels,bacterial translocation and pathiology examinations in the all rats 280 mins after operation.The mocusal barrier and microscopic structure of intestine were observed.Results:Compared between the control group and the operation group,endotoxin levels,bacterial translocation rates rise greatly and gut structure change obviously in the latter.Compared between the operation group and operation+medication group,the former changes is also obvious.Conclusion:The occlusion of portal vein can leads the decrease of intestine mocusal barrier and the increase of its permeability.Ulinastatin has a good protective effect on the damages above.

Objective To discuss the anatomical and radiographic parameters of medullary screw fixation of anterior acetabular column so as to provide reference for clinical application. Methods Thirty cadaveric pelvic specimens (including 18 males and 12 females) were involved in the study and fixated re-spectively with 30 retrograde medullary cannular lag screws through pubic tubercle to acetabular posterosu-perior on the left side and with 30 anterograde medullary cannular lag screws through acetabular posterosu-perior to pubic tubercle on the right side. Then, two-dimensional multiplanar CT reconstruction was done to measure the angle and length of the anterograde and retrograde medullary screw trajectory, the relationship of screws with acetabular bone and penis and determine optimal point and angle of screw insertion. Re-suits The entrance of the retrograde medullary screw was located at pubic tubercle, with vertical dimen-sion of ( 17.15±1.82) mm to pubic symphysis and that of (20.51±2.19) mm to superior margin of pu-bis. For the anterograde medullary screw, the distance from the entrance of the screw to greater sciatic notch was (33.25±2.35) mm, with safe insertion angle of (32.1±2.7)°of cephalon tilting at the sagittal plane and (46.5±3.6)°of lateral tilting at the coronal plane. The entrance angle of the anterugrade and retrograde medullary screw trajectory was similar, with only opposite direction and minor difference between the left and the right sides (P>0.05). The length of medullary screw trajectory was (119.5±2.2) mm, with insignificant difference between both sides ( P >0.05). The maximum diameter of the screw was 7.2 mm. Conclusions Medullary screw fixation of anterior acetabular column is clinically feasible but needs rather high accuracy and can be used as an alternative to plate fixation.

Objective To evaluate the sedative interaction between dexmedetomidine and propofol.Methods Sixty-four American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-60 yr,with body mass index of 19.0-25.0 kg/m2,scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were allocated into 4 groups (n =16 each) using a random number table:different target concentrations of dexmedetomidine groups (D1-4 groups).Dexmedetomidine was administered by target-controlled infusion (TCI) with the Markku model.The target plasma concentrations of dexmedetomidine were 0,0.4,0.6 and 0.8 ng/ml in D1-4 groups,respectively.At 15 min of dexmedetomidine TCI,propofol was given by TCI with Schnider model,and the initial target effect-site concentration was set at 1.0 μg/ml.After the target effect-site and plasma concentrations were balanced,the target effect-site concentration of propofol was gradually increased in increments of 0.2 μg/ml until loss of consciousness (Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score was 1).The model of pharmacodynamic interaction was used to analyze the sedative interaction between the two drugs.Results There was no statistically significant difference in residual sums of squares fitted by using the model of pharmacodynamic interaction between the target effect-site concentration of propofol and target plasma concentration of dexmedetomidine at loss of consciousness (P＞0.05).The linear dimensionless parameter of pharmacodynamic interaction was 0.The median effective effect-site concentration of propofol was 2.38 μg/ml at loss of consciousness,and the median effective plasma concentration of dexmedetomidine was 2.03 ng/ml at loss of consciousness.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine and propofol interact additively in terms of sedation.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of intramedullary nails and locking compression plate in the treatment of femur shaft fracture.Methods The clinical data and follow-up records of 43 patients with femur shaft fracture treated by intramedullary nails and locking compression plate were retrospectively reviewed.Including 31 males and 12 females with an average age of 40.07 years(25 to73).According to AO classification:5 cases were type A,24 cases were type B,14 cases were type C.26 patients in group A treated by intramedullary nails and 17 patients in group B treated by locking compression plate.Operation time,fracture union time,blood loss and complications were compared between the two groups.The Karlstrom and Olerud result were compared and analyzed.Results All patients were followed up at an average of 15 months(range 5-24) after surgery.According to Karlstrom and Olerud score system,the excellent and good rate of group A was 88.4％,higher than the group B 82.3％.But there was no significant difference between the two groups.In group A:the operation time (113.77 ±20.14)min,the blood loss in the operation (386.74 ± 65.16) ml,clinical bone healing (15.52 ± 1.77) weeks.All these outcomes were better than group B (P ＜ 0.01).One case in group A appeared screw loose,but X-ray showed the nail stable,the bone wasn't displacement.One case in group B appeared broken plate 1 month after operation,and received twice operation,the clinical outcome was good as well.Another 1 case with fracture delayed union in group B,after internal fixation removed,we check the X-ray showed bone union.Conclusion Two methods of treatment femur shaft fracture can all reach the above requirement.Fixation of intramedullary interlocking nail is the preferred surgery than locking compression plate.

Objective To establish a sensitive,specific,simple and high-throughput method for detection of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in the plasma samples of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLS) by the use of mutant-enriched liquid chip (MEL) assay.Methods The specific probes for the EGFR exon19 E746-750 deletion,exon 21 L858R mutation and wild-type sequence were designed and coupled to the microspheres coding with different fluorescent dye.The probe coupling efficiency was verified by crossing hybridization test with biotin-labeled reverse sequence.A blood-based MEL approach which integrates a sensitive mutant-enriched PCR and quantitative high throughput liquid chip assay for assessment of EGFR mutations was developed.The sensitivity and specificity of MEL was further evaluated using the mixture with different copy numbers of mutant and wild-type plasmids as template.The mutations of exon 19 and 21 of EGFR gene in plasma samples from 201 patients with stage ⅢB or Ⅳ NSCLC who enrolled in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College from September 2008 to April 2010 were analyzed by both the MEL and the mutant-enriched PCR assay.The result comparison was made between direct sequencing and MEL in 50 cases whose EGFR gene type had been tested by MEL and mutantenriched PCR.The correlation of EGFR gene mutation and the response to the Geftinib treatment was analyzed in 16 patients with lung adenocarcinoma as well.Results The probes were successfully coupled to the microspheres encoding with different fluorescent dye,and could be specifically recognized by the corresponding target sequence.The MEL was capable of detecting as few as 10 copies of EGFR mutants (sensitivity was 0.1％).Among the enrolled 201 cases of advanced NSCLC,the detection rate of the EGFR exon19 E746-750 del and exon 21 L858R was 55.7％ (112/201) by MEL assay.Conpared with mutantenriched PCR[58.2％ (117/201)],the coincidence rate was 97.5％ (196/201).There was no statistically significant difference between the results of mutant-enriched PCR and MEL (x2 =3.20,P ＞ 0.05).The mutations detection rate was 22.0％ (11/50) by directing sequencing,which was significantly lower than by MEL[50.0％ (25/50),x2 =12.07,P ＜ 0.05].Among the 16 patients treated with Gefitinib,9 cases who had EGFR mutation showed a higher response rate(P =0.041)and prolonged progression-free survival (x2 =6.76,P =0.009) after the treatment compared to those 7 who without EGFR mutation.Conclusions A new method of MEL with accuracy,specificity,fast and high-throughput is established for the detection of EGFR 19 E746-750 deletion and exon 21 L858R mutations in plasma from advanced NSCLC patients.It has the ability to provide the most direct and valuable guidance for clinicians to make decision on EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy in the advanced NSCLC paticnts.

Objective To study the protective effect and mechanism of lactulose on the renal function in acute cholelithiasis with obstructive jaundice.

The systemic and portal blood endotoxin (ET), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and endogenous creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) were measured periodically. Results (1) In group L, the level of systemic vein ET and BUN were significantly lower than that in group C (P0.05); and the systemic vein ET and Ccr decreased significantly on 9d (P

BACKGROUND:Tantalum rod implant technology is a new method of early osteonecrosis treatment. Current research on stress distribution before and after tantalum rod implant in different sizes of femoral head necrosis area is few. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the stress distribution before and after tantalum rod implantation in different sizes of necrotic femoral head area using three-dimensional finite element method. METHODS:Three-dimensional finite element models of normal femoral head and necrotic femoral head of 15, 20 and 30 mm diameterwere constructed. Eight measuring points were chosen on two tiers of each necrotic model to detect the stress distribution and its alteration before and after tantalum rod implantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Stress concentration werefound on every necrotic femoral head, most pronounced on the one with 30 mm lesion. (2) Tantalum implant appeared to reduce the stress concentration generaly. Comparison of the peak points of these models indicated most significant benefit in 15 mm lesion, next in 30 mm lesion, last in 20 mm lesion. (3) Results indicate that larger lesion entails more concentrated stress distribution and more likely to colapse. Tantalum rod implantation can delay the development of necrosis of the femoral head, andismost effective in smal lesion.

Objective To assess the characterization and usefulness of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)to diagnose solid focal lesions of pancreas(s-FLPs)in comparison to contrast enhanced computed tomography(CECT).Methods Forty-nine s-FLPs with final diagnosis were studied with low mechanical index CEUS and CECT.The enhanced patterns and diagnostic capability of CEUS were analyzed,and these results were compared with those from CECT.Results ①In CEUS,the perfusion of capillary could be detected in vascular phase.②The concordance of dual-phases enhanced patterns between CEUS and CECT was 73.5%(36/49).The concordance of enhanced level between early parenchymatous perfusion phase in CEUS and pancreatic phase in CECT could achieve 87.8%(43/49).Hypo/hypo enhancement was the most common enhanced pattern of pancreatic carcinoma in CEUS and CECT.③There was no statistical significance between CEUS and CECT in the differential diagnostic.Conclusions The concordance of enhanted patterns between CEUS and CECT is satisfactory.CEUS is similar to CECT in the differential diagnosis of s-FLPs.CEUS would become an important non-invasive diagnostic method for s-FLPs.
