BACKGROUND:With the continuous development of medical technology,the treatment of distal radius fractures is facing the need for more precise and personalized treatment.The traditional splint fixation method has some limitations in clinical application,which often has defects such as unstable fixation and easy to occur pressure sores.The validation of the improved 3D printed splint with rapid grid-free simulation is expected to lead to more accurate and effective treatment options for distal radius fractures.OBJECTIVE:To explore the design method of 3D printed splint for distal radius fracture based on clinical defect improvement and verify its clinical efficacy by rapid grid-free analysis.METHODS:Clinical defects of splint fixation of extended distal radius fracture were retrospectively analyzed,and 3D printed small splint was designed with specific improvement.The digital models of traditional splint and improved new 3D printed splint were made by Computer Aided Design drawing.Total,bone,soft tissue,and splint displacement and stress distribution were calculated through simulation analysis using rapid grid-free analysis tools.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the traditional splint,the improved new 3D printing splint exerteded more balanced pressure on the skin without obvious stress concentration,and had better body surface adhesion.The displacement was smaller and the movement range was more reasonable.(2)An 3D printed splint based on clinical defect improvement can be designed.Rapid grid-free analysis verifies the advantages of the improved 3D splint,providing a basis for clinical application.

Based on the practical application, this paper introduced the basic calculation conditions, methods and epidemiological significance of incubation period. The real data were used for calculations of the incubation period by lognormal, gamma, Weibull and Erlang distribution methods. Both of the complete and incomplete observation data were demonstrated.

Objective: To investigate the effect of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP) on the mortality and early complications of premature infants. Methods: The general clinical data of preterm infants with gestational age 24-36^{+ 6} weeks were collected from the cooperative units in the task group from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014.According to the severity of HDCP, the infants were divided into 4 groups: HDCP group, preeclampsia group, eclampsia group and non HDCP group, the mortality and major complications of preterm infants were compared, and the influencing factors were analyzed. Results: The mortality rate of preterm in the HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ²=9.970, P=0.019). Eclampsia had a highest fatality rate (4.8%) in the early stage, compared with non HDCP group (2.2%), and the difference was statistically significant.Comparison of HDCP group (1.8%) and eclampsia group (3.2%) suggested that there was no statistically significant difference.The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ²=13.241, P=0.004). Eclampsia group showed the highest incidence (35.4%), compared with non HDCP group (16.2%), the difference was statistically significant, but compared with HDCP group (19.9%), preeclampsia group (17.1%), there was no significant diffe-rence.The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group (χ²=9.592, P=0.022), the highest incidence showed up in eclampsia group (9.7%), compared with non HDCP group (2.0%) and HDCP group (1.7%), the difference was statistically significant.But there was no statistically significant difference, compared with preeclampsia group.As the degree of HDCP aggravated, the incidence of BPD gradually rose.There was no significant impact on necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and sepsis of HDCP (χ²=7.054, 7.214, 0.358, 3.852; P=0.070, 0.065, 0.949, 0.278). Considering the overall outcome of the child, that was, whether the child died or survived, he had at least one complication, and HDCP had an effect on it (χ²=15.697, P=0.001), so the incidence increased while the degree of HDCP rose gradually.After adjusting gestational age, birth weight, sex, way of delivery, placental abruption and front placenta, prenatal hormonal, gestational diabetes, neonatal asphyxia and other factors, the results displayed that HDCP was the factor leading to the death of premature baby (OR=2.159, 95%CI: 1.093-4.266), and comparison between preeclampsia and eclampsia showed no statistical difference (P=0.714, 0.389); HDCP had no significant influence on RDS, BDP, ICH, NEC, ROP and sepsis. Conclusions HDCP leads to increased risk of premature death, but also leads to the increased incidence of RDS and BPD, but it had no obvious effect on NEC, ROP, IVH, sepsis and other complications.

The atomic force microscope (AFM) with an atomic resolution is a powerful tool for biological structure. The probe is an important part that determines the resolution of AFM. Carbon nanotube is becoming an ideal AFM probe due to its unique structure physical and chemical properties. Carbon nanotube AFM probes can be made by manual assembly or chemical vapor deposition. Several proteins, nucleic acids and cells have been investigated with carbon nanotube probes. Not only the high-resolution images but also the determination of specific DNA sequence and haplotype were acquired. Carbon nanotube AFM probe will increasingly play an important role in biological studies.
