Objective The kinetic parameters of Lin's squeezing-pressing adjustment manipulation were collected for the analysis of its mechanical characteristics,thus to establish a standardized operating procedure to guide clinical teaching of this technique.Methods Ten healthy male trainees(aged 20-30 years)from the Tuina Department of Guangdong Provincial of Chinese Medicine were selected as the subjects.A multi-point thin-film pressure testing system was used to collect mechanical parameters during the operation of Lin's squeezing-pressing adjustment manipulation.The mechanical characteristics were analyzed,and then a mathematical model of time-mechanics curve was constructed.Results(1)The kinetic parameters of Lin's squeezing-pressing adjustment manipulation were as follows:preload force averaged(279.45±19.36)N with a duration of(0.98±0.03)s,the valley value of preload force averaged(137.45±3.59)N,the maximum impact force was(495.56±7.33)N,the impact duration averaged(0.15±0.01)s,the impact velocity averaged(3 183.96±94.76)N/s,and the impulse was(57.16±1.82)N/s.(2)The fitting function of impact force showed large absolute values for both ascending and descending slopes,and the ascending slope was significantly greater than the descending slope,indicating that the Lin's manipulation stressed on rapid outburst of the strength and withdrawal of the strength.(3)One-way ANOVA revealed no statistically significant differences in the preload force and its duration and valley value,the maximum impact force,and impact time among different operators(P＞0.05).Conclusion The analysis of kinetic parameters demonstrates that skilled operators maintain relatively stable mechanical parameters when performing Lin's squeezing-pressing adjustment manipulation.This study provides a preliminary digital analysis of the mechanical characteristics of Lin's bone-setting manipulation in addressing"bone misalignment and tendon displacement",which supplies objective evaluation criteria for the technique.

Objective This study aims to investigate the application of symptom group management using a mo-bile health platform in managing heart failure patients during convalescence.Methods The research involved pa-tients with chronic heart failure who were treated at a tertiary A hospital in Qingdao from June 2022 to December 2022.The experimental group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged after treatment in ward A,while the control group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged during the same period in ward B.The experimental group received an mHealth-based symptom clusters management program following routine continuous nursing and the control group was given routine continuous nursing after discharge.6 months after the intervention,the heart function status,self-care level,and quality of life were compared between 2 groups.Results The experimental group ultimately included 232 cases,while the control group ultimately included 225 cases.Furthermore,the cardiac functional status,level of self-care,and quality of life of both the experimental group and the control group showed improvement compared to the pre-intervention period(P＜0.05).The experimental group exhibited significantly better cardiac function status compared to the control group,and the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of self-care confidence,and quality of life relative to the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The utilization of a mobile medical platform can enhance the management of heart failure patients'symptom groups,resulting in im-proved disease management efficiency.This platform provides patients with a comprehensive self-management plan,ultimately enhancing their self-management abilities and overall outcomes.

Objective To analyse the stress distribution of distal-extension removable partial dentures supported by mini implants. Methods The finite element analysis models of conventional removable partial dentures ( CRPD) and mini implants supported removable partial dentures (ISRPD) were established by modular denture model. The stress distribution of abutments and supporting tissues was compared by finite element analysis software Abaqus 6.5.Results Under vertical loading, the stress of abutment teeth, mucosa of edentulous region and alveolar bone of ISRPD model was lower than that of CRPD model. Under oblique loading, the stress of each part of CRPD model and alveolar bone of ISRPD model significantly increased, while that of abutment teeth and parodontium of ISPRD model decreased. Conclusion The distal-extension removable partial dentures supported by mini implants work well in protecting the abutments and supporting tissues.

Objective To analyse the stress distribution of precision attachment dentures used in distal-extension edentulous cases. Methods The finite element models of conventional removable partial dentures and precision attachment dentures were established by modular denture model, and the models of precision attachment dentures were established with 4┬4 as one abutment or 43┬34 as two abutments. The stress distribution of abutments and supporting tissues was compared by finite element analysis software Abaqus 6.5.Results Under vertical loading or oblique loading, the stress of abutments and supporting tissues from attachment dentures with two abutments was significantly lower than that from attachment dentures with one abutment. The stress of conventional removable partial dentures significantly increased under oblique loading. Conclusion It is reasonable for the design of attachment dentures with two abutments for mandibular distal-extension edentulous cases.

Objective To investigate the stress distribution in the abutment and supporting tissues of distal-extension removable partial dentures with mesial and distal occlusal rest under loading. Methods A modular denture model was used to build a model of mandibular dentition defect ( 765┬567 loss) with HyperMesh 7.0 software. Prosthetics with mesial (M model) and distal occlusal rest (D model) were designed with UG 5.0 software, and the finite element models were completed with HyperMesh 7.0 software. The stress distribution was analyzed in the abutment and supporting tissues of distal-extension removable partial dentures with mesial and distal occlusal rest when bilateral vertical forces were applied. Results Compared with M model, D model provided much larger maximum stress in abutments and periodontal membrane. Stress of D model mainly concentrated on roots of 4┬4 , while that of M model uniformly distributed on roots of 43┬34 . The maximum stress of M model was significantly larger than that of D model on the mucosa of edentulous region. The maximum stress on alveolar bone of two models' edentulous region was equal, while the stress of M model distributed more widely. Conclusion It is prior to select mesial occlusal rest in distal-extension removable partial dentures.

The activity of colony stimulating factor ( CSF) in the conditioned medium ( CM ) was studied with combination method of 3H-TdR incorporation assay and agar colony assay. These two assays were demonstrated to be replaceable each other. The mice were administered with nontoxic monophosphoryl lipid A(MPLA) which was derived from a Re mutant of Salmonnella Minnesota Re595. The results showed a significant elevation of CSF in the serum and reaching the top at 12th h and returning to normal by 24th h. There is a significant dose-resoonse relationship. The CSF was induced with accompany of formation of colony inhibiting factor (GIF), some of which were heat sensitive factors. It is suggested that the MPLA may be a potent CSF-inducer.
