Objective To analyze the biomechanical effects of gravity loading countermeasure garment on human lumbar intervertebral disc in microgravity environment. Methods Based on CT images of a healthy adult volunteer, the finite element model of L4-5 vertebrae was established. Through the empty load and 400 N axial loading for 4 hours on lumbar finite element model, the biomechanical effect of the non-intervention and gravity loading countermeasure garment were simulated respectively in microgravity environment. Results The central pore pressure, radial displacement and water content of the human lumbar intervertebral disc increased with time in microgravity environment. In the case of wearing gravity loading countermeasure garment, the central pore pressure, axial stress, radial displacement and water content of the lumbar intervertebral disc were reduced after 72 hours of cyclic loading compared with the non-intervention group. Conclusions Wearing gravity loading countermeasure garment can help astronauts to prevent the adverse effects of microgravity on the spine to some extent in microgravity environment.

Objective To explore the four tumor markers of alpha-fetoprotein ( AFP ), α-L-fucosidase( AFU), carbohydrate antigen 199 ( CA199) and carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) and their combined use for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis and treatment value. Methods From February 2016 to August 2018,92 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC group),79 patients with benign liver disease (chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis group) and 99 healthy adults (control group) were selected as subjects. The serum levels of four tumor markers in different populations were compared. Results The serum levels of four tumor markers ( AFP ( 192. 4 ± 89. 3) μg／L、AFU( 78. 6 ± 25. 8) U／L、CA199 (107. 2 ± 59. 5) U／mL、 CEA ( 37. 9 ± 14. 9) μg／L) were significantly higher than those of benign liver disease group(AFP( 17. 4 ± 6. 3) μg／L、AFU( 35. 4 ± 17. 2) U／L、CA199( 29. 3± 15. 2) U／mL、CEA( 4. 9 ±1. 7) μg／L) and normal people( AFP(4. 8±1. 1) μg／L、AFU(12. 2±3. 6) U／L、CA199( 6. 4± 2. 3) U／mL、CEA(1. 8±0. 4) μg／L) . There differences had significant ( all P＜0. 05) . The abnormal rate of single factor in hepatocellular carcinoma group ( AFP 84. 8%, AFU 52. 2%, CA199 41. 3%, CEA35. 9%) was significantly higher than that in benign liver disease group ( AFP 15. 2%, AFU 19. 0%, CA19916. 5%, CEA13. 9%) and normal group (AFP 4. 0%,AFU 5. 0%,CA199 3. 0%,CEA 6. 0% ug／L),the difference was statistically significant ( all P＜0. 05) . The highest sensitivity was AFP ( 84. 8%) and the highest specificity was AFP and CA199 (91. 0%). The sensitivity of combined detection was 94. 6% higher than that of single index ( AFP 84. 8%, AFU52. 2%, CA199 41. 3%, CEA35. 9%) . Conclusion The combined detection of AFP,AFU,CA199 and CEA can increase the sensitivity of diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma and reduce the rate of missed diagnosis, which will be beneficial to the early diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Consolidated results showed that ETS exposure could increase the risk of lung cancer, combined OR (95% CI) = 1.52 (1.42-1.64). Stratified analysis showed that ETS exposure was found to be significantly associated with an increasing risk of the lung cancer on non-smoking women and men, and combined OR (95% CI) were 1.58 (1.42-1.75) and 1.34 (1.08-1.65), respectively; the ETS exposure from family or the working environment could increase the risk of lung cancer, and combined OR (95% CI) were 1.48 (1.20-1.82) and 1.38 (1.13-1.69) respectively; childhood exposure and adult exposure were no significant statistical significance, and combined OR (95% CI) were 1.37 (0.98-1.91), and 1.34 (0.97-1.85) respectively.

CONCLUSIONEnvironmental tobacco smoke exposure was a significant risk factor of lung cancer among non-smokers in China.

This paper was aimed to screen and analyze the genotypes of thalassemia of the residences in Sichuan Province. The phenotypes of thalassemia was screened by hemoglobin electrophoresis, and the genotypes of the phenotype positive cases was analyzed. There were 69 alpha-thal and 115 beta-thal phenotype positive cases in 3185 subjects. A total of 157 cases were diagnosed as thalassemia. These included 53 alpha-thal, 102 beta-thal and 2 alpha/beta-thal cases. The positive rates were 1.66%, 3.20%, 0.06%, respectively. It can be seen that Sichuan is one of the provinces with a high incidence of thalassemia. Hemoglobin electrophoresis is an important method for thalassemia screening, and GAP-PCR and PCR-RDB technology for thalassemia genotype analysis. A combination of both enables a wide range of screening and diagnosis of thalassemia.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the reliability and clinical value for detecting paraquat (PQ)concentration in serum by spectrometry. MethodsThe determinations of wave length for detecting serum PQ concentration by ordinary spectrometry and second-derivative spectrometry were carried out. When the second-derivative spectrometry was used for detecting PQ in serum, the linear range and precision for PQ concentration were well defined. The results of serum PQ concentration determined by second-derivative spectrometry and by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) were compared in 8 patient with PQ poisoning. A total of 21 patients with acute poisoning after PQ ingestion over 4 hours admitted from October 2008 through September 2010 were retrospectively studied. Patients were divided into two groups as per the serum concentrations more than 1.8 μg/mL or less than that by second-derivative spectrometry on the day of admission. The severity of clinical manifestations between two groups was analyzed with t-test or Fisher's exact probabilities analysis. Results ( 1 ) The absorption peak of 257 nm could not be found by using ordinary spectrometry to detect the PQ concentration in serum. (2) The calibration curve in the 0. 4 ～ 8.0μg/mL range for detecting PQ concentration by second-derivative spectrometry observed the Beer's law (r =0. 996) . The average retrieval rate of PQ was within the range of 95.0％～ 99. 5％ with relative standard deviation (RSD) within 1.35％～ 5.41％ ( n = 6), and the lowest detection limit was 0. 05μg/mL. (3) The results of PQ concentrations from 8 patients with PQ poisoning detected by second-derivative spectrometry were consistent with those of the quantitative determinations by HPLC ( r = 0. 995,P＜0. 01 ) . (4) The survival rate of patients with serum PQ concentration more than 1.8 μg/mL was 22. 2％ ,and the incidences of acidosis, oligouria and pneumomediastium in these patients were 55.6％,55. 6％ and 77.8％, respectively. These clinical manifestations were significantly different from those in patients with serum PQ concentration less than 1.8 μg/mL ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) . Conclusions ( 1 ) It was inappropriate to take 257 nm as the determination wave length for detecting serum PQ concentration by ordinary spectrometry. (2) The method of second-derivative spectrometry was reliable for detecting serum PQ concentration. (3) Serum PQ concentration detected by second derivative spectrometry could be used to predict the severity of clinical manifestations of patients with PQ poisoning and was an important predictive factor for poor prognosis if the serum PQ concentration more than 1.8 μg/mL after PQ ingestion over 4 hours.

[Objective]To discuss the treatment of tibiofibular fracture and soft tissue defects by combination of adjacent tissue flap transplant and external fixation.[Method]Sural neurovascular flaps,saphenous neurocutaneous vascular flaps,gastrocnemius flaps or other tissue flaps were selected to repair soft tissue defects.Among them there were 4.5 cm?3 cm-16 cm?8 cm soft tissue defect respectively,with unilateral or ring external fixators to fix tibia fracture.[Result]In the 15 clinical cases,9 cases were with bone exposure caused by necrosis of soft tissue,3 cases with open tibia and fibula fracture with soft tissue defect,3 cases with non-union of bone fracture with scar.All transplanted flaps survived well.The follow-up time ranged from 12 to 72 months with an average of 36 months.All tibial fracture healed.The function of the lower extremities recovered well.[Conclusion]The application of adjacent tissue flap transplant combined with external fixation technique is very effective in treating tibiofibular fracture with soft tissue defect.
