  • The 3D display has been used in optical projection technology to connect twenty mini- projectors with seamless image tiling. In this way, we can improve the projected resolution by reducing each project screen and increase projected area by connect several mini-projectors. In this article, the illumination system uses the LED light source, non- telecentric structure and LCOS panel, and it's total length is less than 10 centimeter. It can build a seamless large display by tiling multiple projectors.

  • Background Burn infliction techniques are poorly described in rat models. An accurate study can only be achieved with wounds that are uniform in size and depth. We describe a simple reproducible method for creating consistent burn wounds in rats. Methods Ten male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized and dorsum shaved. A 100 g cylindrical stainless-steel rod (1 cm diameter) was heated to $100^{\circ}C$ in boiling water. Temperature was monitored using a thermocouple. We performed two consecutive toe-pinch tests on different limbs to assess the depth of sedation. Burn infliction was limited to the loin. The skin was pulled upwards, away from the underlying viscera, creating a flat surface. The rod rested on its own weight for 5, 10, and 20 seconds at three different sites on each rat. Wounds were evaluated for size, morphology and depth. Results Average wound size was $0.9957cm^2$ (standard deviation [SD] 0.1845) (n=30). Wounds created with duration of 5 seconds were pale, with an indistinct margin of erythema. Wounds of 10 and 20 seconds were well-defined, uniformly brown with a rim of erythema. Average depths of tissue damage were 1.30 mm (SD 0.424), 2.35 mm (SD 0.071), and 2.60 mm (SD 0.283) for duration of 5, 10, 20 seconds respectively. Burn duration of 5 seconds resulted in full-thickness damage. Burn duration of 10 seconds and 20 seconds resulted in full-thickness damage, involving subjacent skeletal muscle. Conclusions This is a simple reproducible method for creating burn wounds consistent in size and depth in a rat burn model.

  • Changes in the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signaling proteins have been observed in many types of cancer. Accordingly, these proteins have recently become an exciting new target for molecular therapeutics. This study examined the expression of an activated mTOR signaling protein in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRAC) and colorectal adenoma lesion. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on human CRAC and adenoma for the mTOR signaling components, including mTOR, phosphorylation, and activation of S6 kinase (p70-S6K), S6 ribosomal protein (S6), and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein (4EBP1). A total of 100 cases with colorectal adenocarcinoma (CARC; N=40), adenoma with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasms (HIN; N=30), and adenoma with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasms (LIN; N=30) were enrolled in this study. p-mTOR expression was observed in 30 cases of the CRAC tissues (75%), 9 cases of adenoma with HIN (30%), and 2 cases of adenoma with LIN (7%). In addition, p-S6 expression was observed in 22 cases of CRAC tissues (55%), 8 cases of adenoma with HIN (27%), and 3 cases of adenoma with LIN (10%). A significant correlation was observed among the p-mTOR, p-S6 expression, and the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Interestingly, the p-S6 protein was activated more in early CRAC than in advanced CRAC.

  • Purpose: Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers within LIN28B have been reported to be related to the timing of pubertal growth. However, no study has investigated the frequency of genetic markers in girls with precocious puberty (PP) or early puberty (EP). This study aimed to determine the frequency of putative genetic markers in girls with PP or EP. Methods: Genomic DNAs were obtained from 77 and 109 girls that fulfilled the criteria for PP and EP, respectively. The controls in this study were 144 healthy volunteers between 20 and 30 years of age. The haplotypes were reconstructed using 11 SNPs of LIN28B, and haplotype association analysis was performed. The haplotype frequencies were compared. Differences in the clinical and laboratory parameters were analyzed according to the haplotype dosage. Results: Eleven SNPs in LIN28B were all located in a block that was in linkage disequilibrium. The haplotype could be reconstructed using 2 representative SNPs, rs4946651 and rs369065. The AC haplotype was less frequently observed in the PP group than in the controls (0.069 vs. 0.144, P=0.010). The trend that girls with non-AC haplotypes tended to have earlier puberty onset (P=0.037) was illustrated even in the EP+PP patient group by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that non-AC haplotypes of LIN28B had a significant association with PP in girls.

  • Background The posterior ledge (PL) is a vital structure that supports the implant posteriorly during orbital floor reconstruction. This study describes a technique for mapping the PL in relation to the infraorbital margin (IM) in patients with orbital floor blowout fractures. This study establishes the location of the optic foramen in relation to the PL. Methods Facial computed tomography (FCT) scans of 67 consecutive patients with isolated orbital floor blowout fractures were analyzed using Osirix. Planes of reference for orbital fractures, a standardized technique for performing measurements on FCT, was used. Viewed coronally, the orbit was divided into seven equal sagittal slices (L1 laterally to L7 medially) with reference to the midorbital plane. The distances of PL from IM and location of optic foramen were determined. Results The greatest distance to PL is found at L5 (median: 30.1 mm, range: 13.5-37.1 mm). The median and ranges for each slice are as follows: L1 (median: 0.0 mm, range: 0.0-19.9 mm), L2 (median: 0.0 mm, range: 0.0-21.5 mm), L3 (median: 15.8 mm, range: 0.0-31.7 mm), L4 (median: 26.1 mm, range: 0.0-34.0 mm), L5 (median: 30.1 mm, range: 13.5-37.1 mm), L6 (median: 29.0 mm, range: 0.0-36.3 mm), L7 (median: 20.8 mm, range: 0.0-39.2 mm). The median distance of the optic foramen from IM is 43.7 mm (range: 37.0- 49.1) at L7.

  • In recent years, several researchers have presented the extensive research reports on network optimization problems. In our real life applications, many important network problems are typically formulated as a Maximum flow model (MXF) or a Minimum Cost flow model (MCF). In this paper, we propose a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach used a priority-based chromosome for solving the bicriteria network optimization problem including MXF and MCF models(MXF/MCF).

  • In this paper, we give some uniqueness theorems of nonconstant meromorphic functions of hyper-order less than one sharing partially three or four small periodic functions with their shifts. As an application, some sufficient conditions for periodicity of meromorphic functions are given. Our results improve and extend previous results of W. Lin, X. Lin and A. Wu [11].
