Accurate Reconstruction of Traffic Accident Based on Multiple Optimization Algorithms and Evaluation of Craniocerebral Injury Risk / 医用生物力学

Objective To investigate the effect of different optimization algorithms on accurate reconstruction of traffic accidents. Methods Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II ( NSGA-II), neighborhood cultivation genetic algorithm (NCGA) and multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) were used to optimize the multi-rigid body dynamic reconstruction of a real case. The effects of different optimization algorithms on convergence speed and optimal approximate solution were studied. The optimal initial impact parameters were simulated as boundary conditions of finite element method, and the simulated results were compared with the actual injuries. Results NCGA had a faster convergence speed and a better result in optimization process. The kinematic response of pedestrian vehicle collision reconstructed by the optimal approximate solution was consistent with the surveillance video. The prediction of craniocerebral injury was basically consistent with the cadaver examination. Conclusions The combination of optimization algorithm, rigid multibody and finite element method can complete the accurate reconstruction of traffic accidents and reduce the influence of human factors.

Age-Related Changes of Biomechanical Properties for Limb Bones in Male Rats / 医用生物力学

Objective To investigate the age-related changes of biomechanical properties for humerus, femur and tibia in male rats and their application values in age estimation. Methods According to different weeks of age, 90 healthy male SD rats were divided into 2, 4, 6, 8, 17, 26, 52, 78 and 104-week groups with 10 rats in eachgroup. After the rats were executed by excessive anesthesia, humerus, femur, and tibia were separated and the attached soft tissues were removed. The length of the above-mentioned bones and the diameter of the middle section (compression site) were measured with vernier caliper, and the three-point bending test was conducted with electronic universal material testing machine to detect the ultimate load and displacement under ultimate load. Results There were significant differences in the ultimate load of humerus, femur and tibia among male rats in different age groups (P<0. 05). With the increase of week age, the ultimate loads of the humerus, femur and tibia increased first and then decreased, and reached the peak value in 52-week age group, showing a strong positive correlation with week age before 52 weeks ( r = 0. 884,0. 933,0. 929, P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in humerus and tibia. The displacement of femur under ultimate load was weakly positively correlated with week age (R= 0. 406,P<0. 05). The age prediction accuracy for automatic linear modeling of ultimate load for humerus, femur, tibia and three above-mentioned bones in rats before 52-week age was 78. 2% , 86. 8% , 84. 1% and 88. 3% , respectively. There was a strong positive correlation between the length of humerus, femur and tibia and the ultimate load (R= 0. 904, 0. 897, 0. 814, P<0. 05). The diameters of humerus, femur and tibia were strongly positively correlated with the ultimate load (R = 0. 759, 0. 814 and 0. 745, P<0. 05). Conclusions The ultimate loads of humerus, femur and tibia in male rats increased first and then decreased with age, and were positively correlated with age before 52 weeks, which could be used for age inference. The highest accuracy of age estimation was ultimate loads of three bones, followed by femur. The length/ middle diameter of humerus, femur and tibia were strongly positively correlated with the ultimate load.

Coactivator p300-induced H3K27 acetylation mediates lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory mediator synthesis / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the role of acetylated modification induced by coactivator p300 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- induced inflammatory mediator synthesis and its molecular mechanism.@*METHODS@#Agilent SurePrint G3 Mouse Gene Expression V2 microarray chip and Western blotting were used to screen the molecules whose expression levels in mouse macrophages (RAW246.7) were correlated with the stimulation intensity of LPS. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (chip-qPCR) were used to verify the binding of the molecules to the promoters of IL-6 and TNF-α genes. The effects of transfection of RAW246.7 cells with overexpression or interfering plasmids on IL-6 and TNF-α synthesis were evaluated with ELISA, and the binding level of the target molecules and acetylation level of H3K27 in the promoter region of IL-6 and TNF-α genes were analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing technique (chip-seq).@*RESULTS@#Gene microarray chip data and Western blotting both confirmed a strong correlation of p300 expression with the stimulation intensity of LPS. Immunocoprecipitation confirmed the binding between p300 and c-myb. The results of EMSA demonstrated that c-myb (P < 0.05), but not p300, could directly bind to the promoter region of IL-6 and TNF-α genes; p300 could bind to the promoters only in the presence of c-myb (P < 0.05). The expressions of p65, p300 and c-myb did not show interactions. Both p300 overexpression and LPS stimulation could increase the level of promoter-binding p300 and H3K27 acetylation level, thus promoting p65 binding and inflammatory gene transcription; such effects were obviously suppressed by interference of c-myb expression (P < 0.05). Interference of p65 resulted in inhibition of p65 binding to the promoters and gene transcription (P < 0.05) without affecting p300 binding or H3K27 acetylation level.@*CONCLUSION@#LPS can stimulate the synthesis of p300, whose binding to the promoter region of inflammatory genes via c-myb facilitates the cohesion of p65 by inducing H3K27 acetylation, thus promoting the expression of the inflammatory genes.

Objective To study the growth regulation, environmental adaption and epigenetic regulation of Chrysomyia Megacephala pupae, in order to obtain the transcriptome data of Chrysomyia Megacephala in different growing periods, and lay the foundation for forensic application. Methods The Chrysomyia Megacephala was cultivated and after pupation, 3 pupae were collected every 24 h from pupation to emergence, and stored at -80 ℃ for later use. High-throughput sequencing was performed by Illumina Hiseq 4000 and Unigenes were obtained. The Unigenes were compared by comparison tool BLAST from NCBI in databases such as NR, STRING, SWISS-PROT （including Pfam）, GO, COG, KEGG in order to obtain the corresponding annotation information. The expression amount of Unigenes obtained by sequencing in Chrysomyia Megacephala in six different growing periods was calculated by FPKM method, and the discrepant genes were screened according to the following standards： the log2 multiple absolute value of FPKM expression amount between two different growing periods must be larger than 1 （log2|FC|>1）, and the false discovery rate must be less than 0.05. Results When the mean temperature was 25.6 ℃, Chrysomyia Megacephala emerged 6 d after they pupated. A total of 43 408 pieces of Unigenes were obtained and their mean length was 905 bp, of which 32 500, 18 720, 13 542, 9 191 and 18 720 pieces were annotated by NR, SWISS-PORT, Pfam, STRING and KEGG databases. According to the discrepant gene analysis of pupae in two different growing periods, the number of genes with variants ranged from 801 to 5 307, and the total number of discrepant genes was 45 676. Conclusion The gene expressions of the transcriptome data of Chrysomyia Megacephala pupae in different growing periods are different. The results provided a good foundation for further research on the transcriptome changes in each period of the pupae of sarcosaprophagous flies and provided the basis for exploring the genes associated with the growth of Chrysomyia Megacephala pupae.

Methods Forty-eight healthy male SD rats were divided into 2, 4, 6, 8, 17, 26, 52 and 104 week groups according to their age. Each group had six rats. The right cranium was compressed by KD Ⅱ-0.2 microcomputer controlled electronic universal testing machine, and material mechanics parameters （ultimate load, compression strength and compression modulus） were measured, then the skull slices were cut off and scanned by Micro-CT system to detect bone material parameters （skull thickness, bone mineral density, bone volume, and trabecular thickness）. Results The differences in ultimate load, compression strength and compression modulus among all groups had statistical significance （P<0.05）, and were positively correlated with age within 26 weeks （P<0.05）. The differences in skull thickness, bone mineral density, bone volume and trabecular thickness among all groups had statistical significance （P<0.05）, and were positively correlated with age within 52 weeks （P<0.05）. All material mechanics parameters were positively correlated with bone material parameters （P<0.05）. Conclusion There is a positive correlation between bone material parameters （skull thickness, bone mineral density, bone volume, trabecular thickness）, material mechanics parameter （skull ultimate load, compression strength, compression modulus） and age in a certain range, which can be used to infer age.

Comparison of the efficacy of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs with or without retinal laser photocoagulation for macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion: a systematic review / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs combined with retinal laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF drugs alone in the treatment of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) combined with macular edema (ME).Methods:A evidence-based medicine study. Retinal vein occlusion (obstruction), macular edema, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, bevacizumab, ranibizumab, conbercept, aflibercept, and retinal laser photocoagulation were the Chinese and English search terms. Related literature was searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Weipu, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library. RVO combined with ME was selected as the research object, and the treatment plan was a clinical randomized controlled study comparing intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs combined with laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF drugs alone. The search time range was from January 2011 to February 2021. Repeated, incomplete or irrelevant literature, case reports and review literature were excluded. Review Manager 5.4 statistical software was used to conduct a meta-analysis of the literature. The weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval ( CI) were selected as the estimated value of effect size, and the fixed effect model was used for analysis. The evaluation indicators were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), center macular thickness (CMT), and the number of injections. Results:According to the search strategy, 461 articles were initially retrieved, and 21 articles were finally included for meta-analysis. A total of 1156 patients were enrolled, of which 576 were treated with anti-VEGF drugs combined with laser photocoagulation (combined treatment group), and 580 were treated with anti-VEGF drugs alone (drug treatment group). Meta-analysis results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in BCVA and CMT between the drug treatment group and the combination treatment group at 6, 9, and 12 months after treatment (BCVA: WMD =-0.82, 95% CI -2.38-0.74, P=0.30; CMT: WMD=-3.12, 95% CI -17.25-11.01, P=0.67). For patients with branch retinal vein occlusion and ME, combined therapy can reduce the number of injections more effectively than drug therapy alone ( WMD=-0.80, 95% CI -1.18--0.42, Z=4.10, P <0.000 1). Conclusion:Compared with pure intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs, combined retinal laser photocoagulation can not better improve BCVA and CMT in patients with RVO and ME. For patients with branch retinal vein occlusion and ME, combined retinal laser photocoagulation can effectively reduce the resistance. The number of VEGF injections.

Conclusion The distribution of Y-SNP haplogroup of the Shui ethnic group in Guizhou has certain specificity, which can provide basic data for forensic biogeographic inference.

Analysis of Influencing Factors of Single Camera Photogrammetry in Forensic Three-Dimensional Reconstruction / 法医学杂志

Objective To evaluate the influence of factors such as the selection of equipment, focal length and the selection of reconstruction quality in the reconstruction software on the reconstruction results of single camera photogrammetry and provide reference for the forensic application of single camera photogrammetry. Methods The 19 skulls were measured by traditional measurement method and single camera photogrammetry. The differences between the two measurement methods and within the group with same equipment but different focal length were analyzed. One skull and one corpse were selected as the research objects. According to the reconstruction quality selection conditions in the photogrammetric software, the experimental group was divided into five grades. The model reconstructed by optical scanner was defined as reference model, while the model reconstructed by single camera photogrammetry was defined as test model. The test model was aligned with the reference model, 3D deviation analysis was carried out and the mean error and root mean square （RMS） values were calculated. Results The differences between EOS 7D zoom group and traditional measurement, and within the group with same equipment had statistical significance （P<0.05）. The mean error value and minimum RMS value of the skull reconstructed by single camera photogrammetry and the three-dimensional model of the corpse existed in the medium quality group, and the trend was basically the same. Conclusion The equipment and focal length has no obvious influence on the results of single camera photogrammetry. Lower reconstruction quality can easily cause distortion, while higher reconstruction quality can easily generate noise, so medium quality is preferred.

Effects of anemoside B4 on the expression of apoptosis-associated proteins in the retina of diabetic rats / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the effects of anemoside B4 on apoptosis of retinal cells in diabetic rats.Methods:Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups: the normal control(control), diabetic rats(DM)and diabetic rats treated with Anemoside B4(B4)groups(n=20, each group). Rats in the DM and B4 groups were rendered diabetic with an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ, 60 mg/kg). After 3 days of successful modeling, rats in the B4 group were intraperitoneally injected with anemoside B4(5 mg/kg), twice/day, for 8 weeks, while rats in the control and DM groups were injected with an equivalent volume of normal saline.After 8 weeks of anemoside B4 and normal saline injection, rats were sacrificed and retinas were harvested for examination.Paraffin sections of retina were stained with the hematoxylin-eosin(H-E)method for morphological evaluation.Protein levels of Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by using Western blot.The expression of caspase-3 mRNA was detected with quantitative PCR.Results:H-E staining results showed the control group had intact retinal structure and clear morphological features, whereas disordered retinal structure, thinner layers, and sparse and disorganized cells were seen in the DM group.However, retinal structure and morphology were improved after treatment with anemoside B4.Compared with the control group, the protein expression of Bcl-2 was lower( t=57.81, P<0.01), the protein expression of Bax was higher( t=10.47, P<0.01), and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was lower( t=23.98, P<0.01)in the DM group.Compared with the DM group, the protein expression of Bcl-2 was higher( t=41.07, P<0.01), the protein expression of Bax was lower( t=6.811, P<0.01), and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio was higher( t=14.70, P<0.01)in the B4 group.Caspase-3 mRNA expression was higher in the DM group than in the control group( t=7.916, P<0.01), but was lower in the B4 group compared with the DM group( t=6.221, P<0.01). Conclusions:Anemoside B4 can inhibit the apoptosis of retinal cells by up-regulating Bcl-2 expression and down-regulating Bax and caspase-3 expression in diabetic rats.

Advance of head taper corrosion after metal on polyethylene total hip arthroplasty / 中华骨科杂志

Total hip arthroplasty is currently an important surgical method for the treatment of hip diseases. The modular design of the head and neck taper facilitates the adjustment of limb length and femoral offset during surgery, however, complications such as wear, corrosion and looseness of the modular interface are also inevitable old problems. In recent years, with the changes in the design of prostheses, the trend that patients becomes younger and active, and the development of minimally invasive surgery, taper corrosion has again become a problem that needs to be solved and cannot be ignored, which is causing the attention of joint surgeons. There have been many studies on the complications associated with metal-on-metal prosthesis modular interfaces, such as increased metal ion level, taper corrosion and adverse local tissue reactions, while there are few studies on the complications of metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty, and metal-on-polyethylene prosthesis has similar problems such as increased local metal ion level and adverse tissue reactions caused by taper corrosion, which may also lead to complications such as prosthesis loosening, dislocation and fracture. Currently there are few reports about head and neck taper corrosion of metal-on-polyethylene prosthesis in China and there are still controversies about its manifestation and mechanism. In this paper, we summarized the above problems through literature reviewto expound the concept, research history, assessment methods, and incidence of metal-on-polyethylene prosthesistaper corrosion and the effect of material composition, diameter of the metal head, neck length, femoral offset, geometry of the taper, surgical factors, in vivo time, and patient factors on taper corrosion are analyzed. In summary, there are still many problems in the researches about the specific forming mechanism that have not been solved, thus it is very important for the prevention of taper corrosion: choosing the same material or ceramic material, avoiding overlarge diameter of the femoral head and femoral offset, avoiding too small taper degree, paying attention to the strength of tapping and cleaning of the taper are the current viable options.

Polymorphisms in XPB and XPG subcomplexes of TFIIH is associated with lung cancer risk in a Chinese population: A case-control study

Objective:The transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) helicases XPB and XPD are responsible for opening the DNA strand around the lesion site and endonuclease XPG cleaves the damaged DNA strand on the 3’ side during nucleotide excision repair (NER). Polymorphisms in these three genes that affect DNA repair capacity may contribute to susceptibility of lung cancer. In this study, our objective is to conduct a case-control study of 100 Chinese patients with lung cancer and 100 cancer-free age and sex matched controls to analyse associations between these SNPs and lung cancer susceptibility.Methods:In this hospital-based case-control study, we genotyped 7 SNPs of XPB, XPD and XPG using matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation-time of flight mass spectrometry method (MALDI-TOF) to explore the association with lung cancer risk. To estimate the relative risk of lung cancer associated with SNP genotype, odds ratios (OR) and 95.0% confidence intervals (95.0% CI) were obtained from unconditional multinomial logistic regression models without and with adjustment for potential confounders including age, gender, cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption.Results:The results showed that individuals carrying XPB rs4150434 GA or AA genotype (OR per GA genotype, 1.997; 95.0% CI: 1.031-3.871; P=0.039; OR per AA genotype, 2.435; 95.0% CI: 1.037-5.718; P=0.037), and this association was also find in nondrinkers (OR per GA genotype, 2.477; 95.0% CI: 1.128-5.440; P=0.022). Individuals carrying XPG rs2094258 AA genotype had an increased risk of lung cancer (OR per AA genotype, 3.020; 95.0% CI: 1.015-8.980; P=0.040) compared with individuals with the GG genotype, especially in nondrinkers (OR per AA genotype, 4.020; 95.0% CI: 1.211-13.339; P=0.017). In addition, we found that XPG rs17655 CG or GG genotype associated with decreased lung cancer risk in drinkers (OR per XPG rs17655 CG genotype, 0.238; 95.0% CI: 0.061~0.925; P=0.034; OR per XPG rs17655 GG genotype, 0.l39; 95.0% CI: 0.021-0.938; P=0.032). Haplotype analysis of all 7 SNPs was also conducted. We found that the haplotype of XPB (rs4150441, G>A; rs4150434, G>A) GA and the haplotype of XPG (rs2094258, G>A; rs4771436, T>G; rs17655, C>G) ATC had an increased association with lung cancer.Conclusions:These findings suggest an important role of XPB rs4150434 and XPG rs17655 polymorphisms for a biomarker for lung cancer risk among the Chinese population.

Objective:To investigate the clinical biological characteristics of EVI1 positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its effect on early chemotherapy.Methods:The clinical and biological characteristics of 33 AML patients with EVI1 positive were retrospectively analyzed in 361 AML patients who were diagnosed and treated in our institute from March 2015 to July 2016,and the clinical and biological features,and rates of the induced remission were compared between the intermediate risk and poor risk with EVI1 positive AML,moreover,the influential factors on complete remission (CR) were analyzed.The expression of EVI1/ABL was tested in 32 healthy donors to confirm the abnormal threshold of EVI1 expression.Results:The definition of EVI1 positive was that the quantitative expression of EVI1/ABL was more than 8.0％.The 33 AML patients with EVI1 positive were found in 361 newly diagnosed AML patients,in which the female and male patients were 17 and 16 respectively,the median age was 45 (18-67) years,with a median follow-up of 6.6 (0.7-13.2) months.Intermediate karyotype was found in 17 patients (including 9 patients with normal karyotypes,1 patient with + 8);unfavorable karyotype was found in 14 patients [including 7 patients with-7/7q-,4 patients with t (v;11q23),3 patients with inv (3)/t (3;3),and 2 patients without mitotic figures].The rate of CR in the first induction chemotherapy was 42.4％,and the rate of total CR was 60.6％.According to the NCCN,16 intermediate risk patients and poor risk patients were divided,without favorable risk patients.The rate of CR in the first induction chemotherapy were 68.8％ and 17.6％ (P =0.005) in the intermediate risk and poor risk respectively,that of total CR were 81.3％ and 41.2％ (P =0.032),and the rates of relapse were 7.7％ and 14.3％.Univariable analysis revealed that unfavorable karyotype could affect the rate of CR in the first reduction chemotherapy and that of total CR (P =0.004,0.029).The poor risk patients had higher mortality (41.2％ vs.6.3％,P =0.039) and lower overall survival (OS) (P =0.012).Conclusion:EVI1 may be not an independent prognostic factor for the AML patients considering the appearance in the intermediate and poor risk patients.It predicts poor outcome in the EVI1 positive AML patients who have unfavorable karyocytes,such as-7/7q-,t (v;11 q23),and inv (3)/t (3;3),and also a low rate of both CR in the first induction chemotherapy and total CR.It also has a low rate of long-term survival and high mortality in the AML patients with EVI1 positive,who may benefit from allogeneic bone marrow transplantation as soon as possible.

Changes of Serum Markers in Patients with HBeAg Positive Chronic Hepatitis B after Massive Blood Transfusion / 现代检验医学杂志

Objective To investigate the changes of HBV markers in patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B(CHB) after a large number of blood transfusion treatment.Methods 26 patients with chronic HBV that were treated massive blood transfusion in 24h were collected from Jan 1,2015 to Jan 1,2016.The HBV serum markers and HBV-DNA were measured and compared before and after treatment.Results The HBsAg,anti-HBs and anti-HBc concentration in first day after treatment were different compared with before treatment(t=2.681,4.753 and 5.116,all P<0.01).The HBsAg,anti-HBs and anti-HBc concentration in third day after treatment exist differences compared with before treatment(t=1.681, 2.209 and 3.118,all P<0.05).The difference still exist in the seventh day after treatment compared with before treatment with only anti-HBc concentration(t=2.463,P<0.05).There was not difference of HBeAg and HBV-DNA before and after blood transfusion in patients(t=0~1.132,P>0.05).After transfusionthe concentration of HBsAg in the fifth day was the lowest concentration as 0.17±0.03 IU/ml,the seventh day rose to 387.50±31.89 IU/ml,reaching the highest value,and the concentration of HBsAb decreased gradually to minimum at the seventh day that was 1.51±5.98 mIU/mmol,and the concentrations of HBeAg,HBeAb and HBcAb had no obvious change.Conclusion The HBsAg,anti-HBs and anti-HBc could be changed in patients with HBeAg positive CHB after massive transfusion therapy in short term.HBeAg and HBV-DNA were not affected by transfusion therapy.
