ABSTRACT
A novel testing system is designed to simulate the mechanical performance and evaluate the biomechanical properties of the bone and the corresponding bone fixator. It is mainly composed of movement platform and servo motor system, sensors and hardware circuit system and software system. In order to prove the feasibility of the design, on the basis of the calibration for the force sensor, the fatigue experiment is carried out using the tibia of the sheep. It is concluded from the result that under the condition of 1 Hz in frequency, 50 kg in loading force and 18 000 cycles, the bone fixator can be still in good condition, which proves the feasibility of the design.

Objective To improve the comprehensive understanding and treatment level of the disease by analyzing the clinical characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) caused by pauciarticular arthritis.Methods The method was retrospective analysis and summary of clinical and laboratory data of 198 cases of patients with RA,in which 98 cases of pauciarticular arthritis belonged to the observation group and 100 cases of polyarticular arthritis belonged to the control group.Results Male patients in observation group were obviously more than those in the control group (t =2.456,P =0.015).Courses of disease was obviously shorter than those in the control group (t =-2.450,P =0.018).The number of involved joints was obviously less than those in the control group (t =-6.316,P ＜0.001).The incidence of morning.stiffness was significantly less than those in the control group (t =-3.884,P ＜ 0.001).Rating scores of disease activity score 28 were significantly lower than those in the control group (t =-8.694,P ＜ 0.001).And positive rate of anti-cyslic citrullinated peptide antibody is significantly higher than those in the control group (t =-2.299,P =0.022).Thyrotrophin levels were significantly higher than those in the control group (t =3.809,P ＜ 0.001).There was no significant differences in age,erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C reactive protein,immunoglobulin and complement level,free triiodothyronine,free thyroxine,blood lipids,blood system and kidney involvement between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The conclusion turns out to be that there are no typical clinical manifestations showing that rheumatoid arthrifts is caused by pauciarticular arthritis.Maybe it is the early performance of disease.It is worth attention that concurrent subclinical hypothyroidism turns out to be more.

ObjectiveTo compare the therapeutic effect, adverse effects and safety of leflunomide (LEF)and cyclophosphamide(CTX) on lupus nephritis(LN). Methods43 patients with reactive LN were randomly divided into two groups. Based on hormone application,22 cases in LEF group were given LEF orally and 21 cases in CTX group were given CTX intravenous drip discontinuously. They were followed up for six months. The related indexes and possible concomitant adverse effects were detected. ResultsThe total effective rate in LEF group was 81.8％ and that in CTX group was 85.7％. The tolerance in LEF group was better and 3 cases had adverse effects. 13 cases in CTX group had adverse effects. ConclusionLEF had the same efficacy as CTX in the LN therapy, but the tolerance is better and the side effects are minor than CTX.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of use of platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a inhibitor tirofiban for percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) in elderly patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods A total of 120 elderly patients who suffered from STEMI and underwent PCI were selected from July 2007 to November 2009.The patients were randomly assigned to control group, standard-dose tirofiban group and low-dose tirofiban group.We observed coronary blood reflow, the bleeding complication, coagulation factor(TF,vWF) and cell adhesion molecular(sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1).Results Total 116 patients accomplished this study (control group: 38 cases; standard-dose group: 39 cases; low-dose: 39 cases).The percentages of TIMI 3 flow after PCI were higher in the two tirofiban groups than in control group (P<0.05).The incidences of bleeding complications in both tirofiban groups (12.8%,5.1%) were higher than that in control group (2.6%, P<0.05).The concentration of TF, vWF,sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were lower in both tirofiban groups than in control group(P< 0.05).Conclusions GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a inhibitor tirofiban can benefit the elderly patients with STEMI referred for PCI therapy, low-dose tirofiban may offer almost the same level of efficacy as standard-dose, with less associated bleeding.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of joint inspection of rheumatoid factor ( RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies(anti-CCP antibody) in rheumatoid arthritis( RA). Methods 125 patients with rheumatic disease were selected,including RA 78 cases,non-RA 47 cases. The quantitative ELISA to detect anti-CCP antibody, latex agglutination to test RF,and the data was analyzed. Results Anti-CCP antibody positive rate was 66. 7% ,RF was 74.4% Joint detection was 62.8% , single positive rate of joint detection was not statistically significant, but the specificity of joint detection was 98.6%,positive likelihood ratio was 29.2, significantly improved compared to individual testing;Sensitivity was 49.6%,negative predictive value was 54% ,significantly lower compared to test a-lone. Conclusion Combined detection was able to improve the specificity,positive likelihood ratio and reduce sensitivity , negative predictive value. It was more useful.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical and serological manifestations of the interstitial lung disease(ILD) resulting from the dermatomyositis(DM) or the polymyodsitis(PM),and the factors affecting the resulting of treatment for the purpose of providing necessary reference for clinical treatment and diagnosis.Methods The clinical manifestations and the findings of serological tests of 18 patients compared with only DM or PM.Results ILD was likely to strike 42.9 percent of patients with DM or PM,who were higher than those without ILD in the rate of positive Jo-1,LDH and Reynolds disease.Conclusion The patients with DM or PM,with their high probability to be stricken by ILD,need HR-CT scanning in order to be diagnosed as early as possible.
