BACKGROUND:Bone mineral density is the clinical gold standard for determining bone strength,but bone mineral density is less sensitive to changes in bone mass,with large changes in bone mineral density only occurring when bone mass is significantly reduced,so bone mineral density has limited ability to predict changes in bone strength and fracture risk. OBJECTIVE:A model of the normal and osteoporotic hip joint was developed to analyze the stresses and deformation in the hip of normal and osteoporotic patients under single-leg standing conditions. METHODS:A healthy adult female volunteer at the age of 36 years was selected as the study subject.The CT data of the hip joint of this volunteer were obtained and saved in DICOM format.The hip joint model was reconstructed in three dimensions,and the material properties were assigned by the gray value assignment method to obtain the normal and osteoporotic hip joint models according to the empirical formula.The same boundary conditions and loads were set to simulate the stresses and deformation in the normal and osteoporotic hip joints in the single-leg standing position. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In the finite element model of the normal and osteoporotic hip,the stress distribution was more concentrated in the medial region of the femoral neck.(2)In the hip bone,the stress distribution was mainly concentrated in the upper part of the acetabulum.(3)The stress peaks in the medial femoral neck and upper acetabulum were larger in the normal hip model than in the osteoporotic hip model,probably due to the reduced bone strength of the osteoporotic bone.(4)The peak Von Mises of both normal and osteoporotic hip models were concentrated on the medial femoral neck,and the peak Von Mises of the hip bone was smaller,indicating that the overall effect of osteoporosis on hip bone stresses was relatively small.(5)In terms of deformation in the single-leg standing position,the maximum deformation in the normal hip model was located at the acetabulum and femoral head,and the maximum deformation was located at the upper part of the greater trochanter of the femur.(6)It is suggested that the finite element analysis method to model the values of parameters related to bone tissue in osteoporosis may improve clinical prediction of bone strength changes and fracture risk.It is explained from the biomechanical view that the intertrochanteric femur and femoral neck are good sites for osteoporotic hip fractures.

Objective:To investigate the effect of 3D-printed customized flanged cup in hip revision with severe acetabular bone defects.Methods:Since February 2017, 10 cases of 3D-printed customized flanged cups were used in hip revision with severe acetabular bone defects, including 2 cases of Paprosky type IIIA and 8 cases of Paprosky type IIIB. There were 5 males and 5 females, mean age 73.6±8.1 yrs (range, 62-87 yrs), 5 left and 5 right cases. The preoperative thin-layer CT scan was preformed to reverse reconstruct digital pelvis. Five cases of one-piece flanged cups and 5 cases of decomposed flanged cups, including 3 cases of composite one-piece cups were designed by computer. The surgery was performed strictly according to the plan.Postoperative follow-up was performed to evaluate the Harris score. Operation time,intraoperative bleeding and other complications such as vascular and nerve injury, postoperative infection, and dislocation were counted. Pelvic X-ray was used to assess the height and horizontal position of the center of rotation and the stability of the prosthesis.Results:The surgical procedure was successful, with an average operative time of 147.9±48.3 min (range, 96-212 min) and an average intraoperative bleeding of 730.4±262.6 ml (range, 500-1 300 ml). The mean time of final follow-up was 40.8±18.7 months (range, 16-70 months) after surgery. At the last follow-up, the average Harris score was 83.80±6.73, with 4 cases excellent, 5 cases good, and 1 case fair. The excellent and good rate was 90%. The last Harris score was significantly higher than that before operation 28.60±8.40 ( t=16.84, P<0.001). The height of affected hip joint rotation center decreased from 46.24±7.74 mm before operation to 15.54±2.54 mm after operation with significant difference ( t=14.61, P<0.001). It was slightly higher than the opposite side (13.81±1.48 mm), which had no significant difference ( t=1.83, P=0.100). The horizontal distance of affected hip joint rotation center increased from 33.79±5.27 mm before operation to 40.53±4.50 mm after operation with significant difference ( t=3.62, P=0.006). It had no significant difference ( t=1.28, P=0.232) compared with the opposite side (38.54±3.46 mm). All incisions were healed in one stage without infection, vascular or nerve injury. During the following-up, all prostheses were in satisfied position without loosening, dislocation or screw breaks. Conclusion:Digitally assisted 3D-printed flanged cups can be used in hip revision with severe acetabular bone defect. It can not only improve hip joint function, but also restore the acetabular rotation center and the prosthesis stability, which can achieve good early and mid-term effect.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of mortality in patients with intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC).Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 203 IAC patients who were admitted to 7 medical centers from June 2018 to June 2020 were collected, including 54 cases in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, 31 cases in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, 25 cases in Beijing Hospital, 25 cases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, 24 cases in China-Japan Friendship Hospital, 22 cases in General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command of Chinese PLA and 22 cases in Chongqing University Cancer Hospital. There were 130 males and 73 females, aged (64±15)years. Observation indicators: (1) candida infection and treatment of IAC patients; (2) analysis of influencing factors for mortality of IAC patients. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed by Logistic regression model. Results:(1) Candida infection and treatment of IAC patients: 134 cases of candida albicans were cultured in the initial abdominal drainage fluid or intraoperative abdominal specimens of 203 patients, and 49 cases were treated with fluconazole. Of 69 cases infected with non candida albicans, 13 cases were treated with fluconazole. The resistance rate of candida albicans to fluconazole was 5.91%(12/203). Of 203 patients, there were 68 cases with infections shock, 53 cases with renal failure, 84 cases with respiratory failure and 63 cases with multiple organ failure, respectively. There were 148 of 203 patients admitted to intensive care unit for 9 days(range, 3-20 days), and the total hospital stay was 28 days(range, 17-50 days). Of 203 patients, 86 cases were cured and discharged, 50 cases were improved and transferred to local hospitals, 32 cases gave up treatment and discharged automatically, 19 cases died, 16 cases had no follow-up data. The mortality was 25.12%(51/203). (2) Analysis of influencing factors for mortality of IAC patients. Results of univariate analysis showed that acute physiology and chronic health evaluation score, sequential organ failure assessment score, the Cr, bilirubin, albumin, procalcitonin, and PLT on the first day of candida positive culture, of the lowest value in a week and the highest in a week, heart disease, diabetes, infections shock, renal failure, respiratory failure, multiple organ failure, anti-fungal therapy were the related factors for mortality of IAC patients ( t=-2.322, Z=-2.550, -2.262, -4.361, t=2.085, Z=-3.734, -5.226, -2.394, -5.542, t=3.462, Z=-4.957, -5.632, 3.670, -5.805, t=3.966, Z=-3.734, -5.727, χ2=4.071, 4.638, 27.353, 18.818, 13.199, 26.251, 13.388, P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the bilirubin, procalcitonin on the first day of candida positive culture and infections shock were independent risk factors for mortality of IAC patients ( odds ratio=1.021, 1.022, 6.864, 95% confidence interval as 1.010-1.033, 1.001-1.044, 1.858-25.353, P<0.05). Conclusions:The common fungus of IAC was candida albicans, and fluconazole can be used as the initial empirical treatment. The prognosis of patients with abdominal candidiasis is poor. Bilirubin, procalcitonin on the first day of candida positive culture and infections shock are indepen-dent risk factors for mortality of IAC patients.

OBJECTIVETo explore the trend change of the morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer in China in order to provide reference to the prevention and control of colorectal cancer.

METHODSAccording to the 1-3 volumes of "Pathogenesis and death of malignancies in pilot program city and county of China", "Pathogenesis and death of cancer in China"(2003-2007) and "Registration annual report of tumor in China" published in 2011 and 2012, data of pathogenesis and death of colorectal cancer from 10 tumor registration spots, including Beijing urban, Shanghai urban, Wuhan urban, Harbin urban (defined as city urban), and Hebei Ci County, Jiangsu Qidong District, Zhejiang Jiashan District, Guangxi Fusui County, Fujian Changle District, Henan Lin County (defined as rural district), between 1988 and 2009 were collected. The morbidity and mortality were elucidated with world population standardized rate. Ratio of pathogenesis to death was calculated with crude rate of morbidity and mortality. Data of 22 years were enrolled into the linear regression analysis to calculate the annual change rate of morbidity and mortality statistically.

RESULTS(1) Colon cancer: morbidity presented increasing trend; male morbidity in city urban increased faster; mortality presented increasing trend as well; no significant difference of increasing velocity was observed between city urban and rural district; morbidity and mortality in city urban were higher compared to rural district; morbidity and mortality of males were higher compared to females; except stable Fujian Changle District, ratio of pathogenesis to death presented decreased trend in Shanghai urban and Hebei Ci County, and increased trend in other 7 spots (all P<0.05). (2) Rectal cancer: morbidity presented increasing trend, and its increasing velocity of city urban was faster compared to rural district; mortality presented decreased trend, especially in females, and this trend in rural district was worse compared to city urban; morbidity and mortality of males were higher compared to females, while no significant difference was observed between city urban and rural district; morbidity and mortality of males and females in Zhejiang Jiashan District were all decreased (all P<0.05); except stable Harbin city, ratio of pathogenesis to death presented increased trend in other 9 spots (all P<0.05). (3) Ratio analysis of morbidity and mortality showed that percentage of colon cancer increased gradually in all 10 spots between 1988-2009.

CONCLUSIONSIn the past 2 decades, the overall morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer are higher in city urban and in male as compared with rural district and female. Colon cancer has higher morbidity than rectal cancer and its morbidity and mortality present increased trend, while morbidity of rectal cancer presents increased trend but its mortality presents decreased trend.

Objective To investigate the potential roles of nucleotide -binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor in the pathogenesis of asthma.Methods Through rat asthma model,24 rats were randomly divided into three groups on average,named asthma group,control group and dexamethasone group.Expression levels of NOD1 and NOD2 mRNA were detected by Real -time PCR in lung tissues.Results The expression levels of NOD1 mRNA in the asthma group,control group and dexamethasone group were (0.62 ±0.34)RQ value,(1 .00 ± 0.00)RQ value,(0.65 ±0.33 )RQ value respectively.The levels of NOD1 mRNA in the asthma group was significantly lower than that in the control group(F =4.75,P <0.05 ),while there was no statistically significant difference of NOD1 mRNA level between the dexamethasone group and asthma group(P >0.05).Moreover,expression levels of NOD2 mRNA in the asthma group,control group and dexamethasone group were (0.92 ±0.32)RQ value, (1 .00 ±0.00)RQ value,(1 .50 ±0.56)RQ value,respectively.There was no statistically significant difference of NOD2 mRNA level between the asthma group and control group (P >0.05 ),but level of NOD2 mRNA in the dexamethasone group was significantly higher than that in the asthma group(F =5.64,P <0.01 ).And there was no significant correlation between level of NOD1 and NOD2 mRNA(r =0.1 5,P >0.05).Conclusion Expression of NOD -like receptor subtype was not at the same level,and their reaction to dexamethasone were different either.

Objective: To investigate the effects of non-muscle myosin ⅡA (NMⅡA) silenced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the lung damage of rats at early stage of smoke inhalation injury. Methods: Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, simple injury, NMⅡA-BMSCs, and BMSCs groups according to the completely random method, with 10 rats in each group. Rats in control group inhaled air normally, while rats in the latter 3 groups inhaled smoke to reproduce model of smoke inhalation injury. At 30 min post injury, rats in simple injury group were injected with 1 mL normal saline via caudal vein, and rats in group BMSCs were injected with 1 mL the fifth passage of BMSCs (1×10⁷/mL), and rats in group NMⅡA-BMSCs were injected with 1 mL NMⅡA silenced BMSCs (1×10⁷/mL). At post injury hour (PIH) 24, abdominal aorta blood and right lung of rats in each group were harvested, and then arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO₂), and pH value were detected by blood gas analyzer. Ratio of wet to dry weight of lung was determined by dry-wet weight method. Pathological changes of lung were observed with HE staining. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected, and then tumor necrotic factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) content of BALF was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and least-significant difference test. Results: (1) At PIH 24, compared with those in control group, PaO₂ values of rats in simple injury, BMSCs, and NMⅡA-BMSCs groups were obviously decreased (with P values below 0.05), and PaCO₂ values were obviously increased (with P values below 0.05). Compared with those in simple injury group, PaO₂ values of rats in groups NMⅡA-BMSCs and BMSCs were obviously increased (with P values below 0.05), while PaCO₂ values were obviously decreased (with P values below 0.05). PaO₂ value of rats in group NMⅡA-BMSCs was obviously increased as compared with that in group BMSCs (P<0.05). The pH value of arterial blood of rats in simple injury group was obviously lower than that in control group (P<0.05). (2) At PIH 24, ratios of wet to dry weight of lung of rats in control, simple injury, BMSCs, and NMⅡA-BMSCs groups were 4.36±0.15, 7.79±0.42, 5.77±0.18, and 5.11±0.20, respectively. Compared with that in control group, ratio of wet to dry weight of lung of rats was obviously increased in the other 3 groups (with P values below 0.05). Compared with that in simple injury group, ratio of wet to dry weight of lung of rats was obviously decreased in groups BMSCs and NMⅡA-BMSCs (with P values below 0.05). Compared with that in group BMSCs, ratio of wet to dry weight of lung of rats in group NMⅡA-BMSCs was obviously decreased (P<0.05). (3) At PIH 24, alveolar structure of rats in control group was complete without abnormality. Compared with those in simple injury group, lung injury and infiltration of inflammatory cells of rats in groups BMSCs and NMⅡA-BMSCs were obviously alleviated, and alveolar structure was relatively complete with no thickening of alveolar wall. (4) At PIH 24, compared with that in control group, TNF-α content of BALF of rats in simple injury and BMSCs groups was obviously increased (with P values below 0.05). Compared with that in simple injury group, TNF-α content of BALF in groups BMSCs and NMⅡA-BMSCs was obviously decreased (with P values below 0.05). Compared with that in control group, IL-10 content of BALF in simple injury, NMⅡA-BMSCs and BMSCs groups were obviously increased (with P values below 0.05). Compared with that in simple injury group, IL-10 content of BALF in groups BMSCs and NMⅡA-BMSCs was obviously increased (with P values below 0.05). Compared with that in group BMSCs, IL-10 content of BALF in group NMⅡA-BMSCs was obviously increased (P<0.05). Conclusions NMⅡA silenced BMSCs can alleviate lung damage of rats at early stage of smoke inhalation injury, showing better effectiveness than using BMSCs only.

Objective To explore the effects of comprehensive nurisng intervention on prenventing incontinence-associated dermatitis in patients with consciousness disorder,and to provide effective prevention methods accordingly. Methods Patients with consciousness disorder and fecal incontinence who were admitted by a Grade Ⅱ general hospital between April 2015 and December 2016 were selected and randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. Patients in the control group received stool drainage with anal tracheal catheter with aerocyst connected to drainage bags,while patients in the intervention group received comprehensive nurisng,including disposable drainage with stoma bags,skin protection with liquid dressing and stoma bag rinsing with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Results The patients in the control group were nursed for(62.00±6.41)min a day,while the patients in the intervention group were nursed for(47.00±5.26) min a day. The patients in the intervention group needed shorter nursing time than the patients in the control group(t=4.24,P<0.01). The incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis of the patients in the intervention group(26.92%)was lower than that of the patients in the control group(47.83%)(χ2=4.59,P < 0.05). Conclusions Comprehensive nurisng can reduce the incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis in patients with mental disorder.

Aim To synthesize 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein and investigate its mechanisms and inhibition effect on hepatitis B surface antigen ( HBsAg ) and e antigen ( HBeAg) in HepG2.2.15 cells.Methods 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein was synthesized based on the chemical structure of Rhein , and its structure was identified by IR,1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR spectra.MTT assay was used to test the inhibitory effect of 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein on HepG2.2.15 cells.After the cells treatment by 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein , the HBsAg and HBeAg in cell supernatant were detected by ELISA .The expres-sion of hepatitis B virus X gene ( HBx) was detected by Western blot .The cell cycles were examined with flow cytometry.The intracellular free calcium concentration was detected by laser scanning confocal microscopy . Results The structure of 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein was confirmed by IR,1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR.MTT results showed that synthetic product and Rhein could inhibit the cell proliferation in HepG2.2.15 cells.After trea-ted with 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein and Rhein for 72 h,the half inhibitory concentration 50%( IC50 ) was 14.29 mg? L-1 and 11.59 mg? L-1 , respectively .Using non-cytotoxic dose of 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein , the inhibitory effect on HBsAg and HBeAg was gradually enhanced with increasing 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein concentration . The inhibitory effect of synthetic product on hepatitis B virus was better than that of Rhein .8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein could down-regulate the expression of HBx , in-tracellular calcium ion concentration and block the hepatitis B virus ( HBV ) replication.Flow cytometry results showed 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein didn′t affect the cell cycle .Conclusions Compare with Rhein , the synthesis of 8-bromo-ethoxy Rhein shows stronger inhi-bition on hepatitis B virus in HepG2.2.15, and its mechanisms may involve down-regulating the expres-sion of HBx and reducing calcium ion concentration .

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a physiologically based toxicokinetics and toxico?dynamics(PBTK/TD)model for chlorpyrifos(CPF)in rats following both oral and subcutaneous expo?sures to CPF. METHODS ①A PBTK/TD model was established with toxicokinetics and toxicodynam?ics data in literature,which was used for predicting contents of CPF and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP)in blood and activities of acetylcholine esterase(AChE)in the plasma and brain of rats exposed to CPF.②Rats were given 50 mg · kg-1 CPF oral and 50 mg · kg-1 CPF sc simultaneously. Blood and brain samples were collected at 0,1,2,4,6,8,12,24 and 48 h,respectively,after CPF administration (n=5). CPF And TCP contents in plasma,activities of AChE in the plasma and brain were deter?mined,and compared with the simulation values by PBTK/TD model in order to validate the accuracy of the model. RESULTS It was predicted by the PBTK/TD model that after the administration (oral+sc) of CPF 20+20,10+30 and (30+10)mg · kg-1,the concentrations of CPF and TCP in plasma increased and then decreased with time in each group. The inhibitory level of AChE activity in the plasma was orally dose-dependent,while AChE activity of the brain was more sensitive to CPF subcutaneous exposure. The simulation values obtained by the PBTK/TD model were not significantly different from the experimental values obtained by co-administered CPF at(50+50)mg · kg-1. CONCLUSION This CPF PBTK/TD model can quantitatively estimate target tissue dosimetry and AChE inhibition.

Objective To investigate cognition degree and learning demands of medical adhesive-related skin injury ( MARSI) of ICU nurses in a hospital, so as to provide reference basis for corresponding knowledge training and improve nursing quality of clinical wound care. Methods In November 2014, a self-designed questionnaire about cognition and learning demands of MARSI was given to 234 nurses in this hospital from intensive care units of Comprehensive Department, Department of Surgery, Thoracic and Cardiovascular Department, PediatricsDepartment, Department of Neurology, and Department of Pneumology. The data was analyzed by SPSS 17. 0. Results Total cognition score was(24. 50 ± 9. 35);there was no statistical significance from different genders and races. The scores from nurses with different ages, educational backgrounds, job titles, job posts, working years, working years in ICU and wound specialist nurses or not were statistically significant. Only 4. 7% of ICU nurses had "never encountered" this kind of skin injury; only 2. 1% of the nurses had "had confidence" in handling such injury; their knowledge mainly came from past experience and communication between colleagues;88. 5% of the nurses thought it was necessary to take learning courses of MARSI. Conclusions ICU nurses′cognition scores of MARSI are low, but their learning demands are high. So the nurse managers should provide knowledge training of MARSI.
