ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the relationship between pedestrian traffic accidents and the type of vehicles and summarize the characteristics.@*METHODS@#Ninety cases of pedestrian traffic accidents were reviewed, and the relationship between the types of vehicles and the injuries (site, feature and severity) were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Different impact injuries were caused by different types of vehicles. The primary sites of the impact injuries depended on the body posture and the height of protruding parts of the front when the accident happened. The injury characteristics were related to the size, direction of acting force and contact surface.@*CONCLUSION@#The analysis of position, feature, and severity of pedestrian injury can determine the type of injury vehicle.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the differential patterns of gene expression in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and healthy subjects using DNA microarray analysis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>T2DM patiens were divided into female group, young male group and old male group. DNA microarray analysis and quantitative real-time PCR were carried out to analyze the relation between gene expressions and T2DM.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mRNA expression of 298, 578, and 350 genes was changed in the skeletal muscle of diabetes mellitus patients compared with control subjects. The 1320, 1143, and 2847 genes were modified in adipose tissue of the three groups. Among the genes surveyed, the change of 25 and 39 gene transcripts in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue was > or = 2 folds. These differentially expressed genes were classified into 15 categories according to their functions.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>New genes are found and T2DM can be prevented or cured.</p>
