ABSTRACT
Rapid prototyping technology, a kind of novel digital prototyping technology developed in mid-1980s based on a principle of discrete and accumulation, which fabricates a prototype by accurate accumulation of material according to the CAD models or CT data under the control of the computer without any other device. In recent years, it has shown a great application prospect in the field of orthopedics combined with three-dimensional image reconstruction of spiral CT and MRL In this article, review is given on the application development of rapid prototyping technology in orthopedics, such as organ model preparation and surgical planning, customized implant and bone tissue engineering porosity scaffold fabrication.
ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of life sciences, translational medical sciences have a new significance recent years. Translational medical science aims to eliminate the barriers between clinical, pharmaceutical drug breakthroughs and basic research, to shorten the distance from bench to bed side, and to facilitate rapid patient benefits from medical sciences. Translational medical science concurrently agrees with modern 21st century research trends, as well as emphasizing upon Chinese goals of health and sanitation (hygiene science), preventing and treating disease to preserve and improve health standards and quality of life. Following a long-term self study model of integrating basic with clinic research since 1921, Peking Union Medical College Hospital in collaboration with a variety of basic medical science institutions recently and initiated a pilot project of translational medical science in China.
ABSTRACT
The diagnostic core of multiple sclerosis(MS) always requires dissemination in space and time since the publication of the first criteria over 40 years ago.Though several modified clinical criterias have been proposed to diagnosis MS,no paitents must meet such condition in diagnostic criteria because of the reticular clinical manifestation of this disease.The diagnosis of MS is still based on clinical parameters including detailed history and a careful examination to exclude alternative disease.The effects of some disease modifying agents to MS have been confirmed by evidence-based medicine.But the intact treatment plan must contain aspects of acute attacks,prevention of relapses and progression,management of symptoms,and rehabilitation.The individualized treatment is needed according to the medical insurance,payment ability and other influencing factors in China.
