A high-density linkage map and QTL mapping of fruit-related traits in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.).

Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is an economically worldwide crop. Few quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were reported previously due to the lack of genomic and genetic resources. In this study, a high-density linkage map of C.

[Kirschner wire as blocking screws for the treatment of tibial metaphyseal fractures].

Objective: To investigate clinical outcomes of Kirschner wire as blocking screws combined with interlocking intramedullary nail internal fixation in treating tibial metaphyseal fractures (AO 43A).

Methods: From March 2011 to June 2012, 9 patients with tibial metaphyseal fractures were treated with blocking screws Kirschner wire combined with interlocking intramedullary nail, including 7 males and 2 females aged from 23 to 54 years old with an average of 37.4.

[Study on the spiral CT reconstruction in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic ring fractures].

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of spiral CT with multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) and three diamensions reconstruction (3D) in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic ring fractures.

Methods: Fifty-seven patients with pelvic ring fractures were examined with digital radiography and spiral CT in our hospital from April 2004 to April 2009. According to Tile classification, there were thirty-eight cases in type A, twelve in type B and seven in type C.
