Objective Based on the finite element simulation analysis of the patient's torso-spine model and combined with theoretical calculation data,an individualized scoliosis orthosis was designed,and the effectiveness of the orthosis was verified through three-dimensional(3D)printing.Methods A patient with idiopathic scoliosis was chosen as the research object.Reverse engineering technology and computer-aided technology were used to establish the torso-spine model of the patient.The finite element method was used to analyze the model,and the optimal position and magnitude of the corrective force were determined by combining literature theory calculation.Based on this,an orthosis was designed.To verify the orthopedic effect,the patient's X-rays before and after wearing the orthosis were compared and evaluated,and the patient was followed up 6 months later.Results The optimal position and magnitude of the initial corrective force were determined through theoretical calculations and finite element simulations.Specifically,a 62.95 N corrective force applied to the L3 vertebral body and the left posterior region corresponding to the upper and lower intervertebral discs in the patient's lateral curvature segment of the spine to achieve the optimal orthopedic effect.On this basis,the orthosis was designed,followed by relevant experimental tests before and after wearing the designed orthosis.By comparing X-ray images of the patient before and after wearing the orthosis and combining them with follow-up data six months later,the optimized design of the orthosis met the expected clinical requirements for orthopedic effects.Conclusions The design of orthosis needs to be personalized according to the specific situation of patients with scoliosis.This study takes a patient with idiopathic scoliosis as the research object,providing new ideas and methods for the design of orthosis for patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

Objective To investigate the difference of iNOS and NQO1 in breast cancer with different mo-lecular subtypes and the correlation between clinical parameters,and to explore the clinical treatment of breast can-cer. Methods The data on 100 patients with breast cancer who had undergone modified radical mastectomy was retrospectively reviewed.Expressions of iNOS and NQO1 were detected by immunohistochemistry.Numeration data was processed using χ2test or Fisher′s exact test.Spearman correlation was applied to analyze different clinical mo-lecular pathological features.Results NQO1 expression was correlated with TNM staging and lymph node metasta-sis(χ2=6.603,4.938,P<0.05),and the expression rate of NQO1 in overexpressing of HER-2 was higher than that in type luminal A(χ2=8.341,P < 0.008). Expression of iNOS was related to expression of Ki-67,stage of TNM and lymph node metastasis(χ2=5.243,8.157,and 5.929,P<0.05),the expression rate of iNOS in lumi-nal A was significantly lower than that in type luminal B(χ2=7.990,P<0.008).Conclusions The expression of NQO1 and iNOS may be involved the process of oxidative stress associated with breast cancer,and it plays an im-portant role in the development of breast cancer. Different molecular level of oxidative stress between the types of breast cancer may be different,whose molecular mechanism needs to be further studied.

BACKGROUND: There is nearly no muscle tissue with satisfactory function and appearance applying in clinical repair and construction of injured muscles to date. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of applying autologous fascia as a scaffold to construct muscle in vivo. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized, self-matched control experiment was carried out between January 2004and June 2006 at Department of Burns & Plastic Surgery, Second Hospital of Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China MATERIALS: Twenty-eight healthy New Zealand rabbits, weighing (1.7±0.5) kg, without sex restriction, establishing middle part defect model of anterior tibial muscle of rabbit hind legs. METHODS: One hind leg of each rabbit was randomized to the experimental group (n=28), the other hind leg was assigned to one of 3 control groups, scaffold-connected group (n=10), muscle particle implant group (n=10) and blank control group(n=8). In experimental group, the defect was connected with an autologous fascial scaffold and filled with the mutilated muscle particles, and subcutaneous tissue and skin were sutured in situ. In scaffold-connected group, the treatments were same to the experimental group only except muscle particle implantation. In muscle particle implant group, the defect was filled with muscle particles but without fascial scaffold and other treatments were same to the experimental group. The defect in blank control group received no treatment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The success rate of muscle transplantation, histological and ultra structural observation,and immunohistochemical identification of desmin were observed at 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 weeks after operation. The middle parts of samples were also harvested for relative quantitative analysis of α-actin cDNA using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in the experimental group and scaffold-connected group.RESULTS: In experimental group, 1 muscle broke near the proximal junction, the other 27 succeeded and the appearance of healed defects became near normal gradually. In scaffold-connected group, 4 muscles broke, 6 muscles still depressed in defect area; in muscle particle implant group and blank control group, the defects had no change. In experimental group, a large quantity of skeletal muscle satellite cells proliferated, which reached peak at 2-3 weeks, cells attached to the ends of fibrous connective tissue; in scaffold-connected group only fibrous connective tissue was seen. lmmunohistochemistry showed that 85% cells in experimental group were desmin-positive, while the positive rate in scaffold-connected group was < 25%. The relative quantitative analysis of α -actin cDNA showed that there were significant differences between the experimental group and scaffold-connected group at different time points(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: The success rate of repairing muscle defect with autologous fascial scaffold reached 93.33%, which indicates that it is feasible to promote muscle regeneration with autologous fascial scaffold.
