We performed three-dimensional reconstruction of facial CT scan images of patients with mandibular angle hypertrophy to explore the related factors of mandibular angle hypertrophy. At the same time, the article uses the results of three-dimensional reconstruction to simulate the clinical operation and obtain the final operation method. It was found that all patients were able to obtain the proper surgical plan from the three-dimensional reconstructed images and can get the hypertrophy factor of the mandibular angle. For this reason, we conclude that computer reconstruction simulation technology can obtain the tissue changes before and after osteotomy of mandibular angle hypertrophy and get the cause of hypertrophy. Three-dimensional reconstruction simulation technology is the best auxiliary diagnosis plan for the selection of mandibular angle surgery.

The tomographic reconstruction from multiple projections of cellular components, within a thick section, offers a way of visualizing and quantifying their three-dimensional (3D) structure. However, asymmetric objects require as many views from the widest tilt range as possible; otherwise the reconstruction may be uninterpretable. Even if not for geometric obstructions, the increasing pathway of electrons, as the tilt angle is increased, poses the ultimate upper limitation to the projection range. With the maximum tilt angle being fixed, the only way to improve the faithfulness of the reconstruction is by changing the mode of the tilting from single-axis to conical; a point within the object projected with a tilt angle of 60° and a full 360° azimuthal range is then reconstructed as a slightly elliptic (axis ratio 1.2 : 1) sphere.

Hemocyanin, the respiratory pigment of the scorpion Androctonus australis is composed of 24 kidney shaped subunits. A model of architecture supported by many indirect arguments has been deduced from electron microscopy (EM) and immuno-EM. To ascertain, the disposition of the subunits within the oligomer, the 24mer was submitted to three-dimensional reconstruction by the method of single-exposure random-conical tilt series.A sample of native hemocyanin, prepared with the double layer negative staining technique, was observed by transmisson electron microscopy under low-dose conditions. Six 3D-reconstructions were carried out indenpendently from top, side and 45°views. The results are composed of solid-body surface representations, and slices extracted from the reconstruction volume.The main two characters of the molecule previously reported by Van Heel and Frank, were constantly found in the solid-body surface representations. These features are the presence of two different faces called flip and flop and a rocking of the molecule around an axis passing through diagonnally opposed hexamers. Furthermore, in the solid-body surface of the top view reconstruction, the positions and orientations of the bridges connecting the half molecules were found in excellent agreement with those predicted by the model.

Chaperonins are a class of proteins characterized by their role as morphogenetic factors. They trantsiently interact with the structural components of certain biological aggregates (viruses, enzymes etc), promoting their correct folding, assembly and, eventually transport. The groEL factor from E. coli is a conspicuous member of the chaperonins, as it promotes the assembly and morphogenesis of bacterial oligomers and/viral structures.We have studied groEL-like factors from two different bacteria:E. coli and B.subtilis. These factors share common morphological features , showing two different views: one is 6-fold, while the other shows 7 morphological units. There is also a correlation between the presence of a dominant 6-fold view and the fact of both bacteria been grown at low temperature (32°C), while the 7-fold is the main view at higher temperatures (42°C). As the two-dimensional projections of groEL were difficult to interprete, we studied their three-dimensional reconstruction by the random conical tilt series method from negatively stained particles.
