Methods: We performed 127 total arthroplasty operations between June 1999 to February 2003 and investigated 49 cementless hip replacements with the Metalcancellous cementless Lubeck Ⅱ system being used in all hips. There were twenty men and twenty-nine women whose mean age at the time of the operation was 60 years (range, 52-81 years). The patients were divided into osteoporosis or normal groups according to the femoral metaphyseal BMD measured preoperatively. The average duration of follow-up was 30 months (range, 8-52 months). We evaluated all of the patients from a clinical standpoint with use of a standard-terminology questionnaire with respect to the short-term curative effects and patients' satisfaction. Hip pain status and functional ability were important indicators of treatment efficacy. Results: Harris hip score and patients' satisfaction in femoral osteoporosis patients who underwent noncemented hip arthroplasty were lower (P=0.004, P=0.03) while the incidence of thigh pain was higher (P=0.03) than the patients with non-osteoporosis. Conclusion: The higher incidence of pain, as well as the decrease in function experienced by the patients in osteoporosis group, supports the case that cementless arthroplasty is not a better choice for those patients and that we had better select prosthesis based on the femoral metaphyseal BMD.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of the physical and chemical parameters of water and sediment to the presence of macrozoobenthos populations. Based on the result of Pearson Correlation Analysis (PCA), the parameters of COD, TOC and silt composition were the highest correlation to the macrozoobenthos population density, the value were 0.966, 0.865 and 0.576. Although PCA analysis is used to determine the relationship between the parameters of water, sediment and sediment particle distribution, the result showed that the water parameters were the mayor component affected the density of macrozoobenthos. While based on the composition of sediment, it is found that substrate as silt, clay and gravel and phosphate parameter affected the density of macrozoobenthos. The measurement of water quality also were calculated by Biotic Monitoring Working Party-Average Score Per Taxon (BMWP-ASPT) index showed that the quality were polluted condition, although by Pollution Index (IP) method showed as a light polluted category.展开更多

Observed data consists of pairs (Xi, δi), em= 1,..., n, where Xi = min{Ti,Ci}, δi = I(Ti 6 Ci), I(A) denotes the indicator function of the set A. Based on the right censored data {Xi, δi}, em=1,..., n, we consider the problem of estimating the level set {f 〉 c} of an unknown one-dimensional density function f and study the asymptotic behavior of the plug-in level set estimators. Under some regularity conditions, we establish the asymptotic normality and the exact convergence rate of the λg-measure of the symmetric difference between the level set {f ≥ c} and its plug-in estimator {fn ≥ c}, where f is the density function of F, and fn is a kernel-type density estimator of f. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed method is feasible. Illustration with a real data example is also provided.展开更多
