OBJECTIVETo investigate clinical effects of damage contral resuscitation (DCR) in rescue multiple fracture with hemorrhagic shock.

METHODSFrom January 2009 to May 2013, clinical data of 24 patients suffered from multiple fracture with hemorrhagic shock were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 18 cases were male and 6 cases were female, aged from 21 to 48 years old with an average of (32.5 +/- 4.5). Small capacity of balanced salt solution were used to maintain systolic, pressure (80-90) mmHg before operation. After control of bleeding with operation, sufficient amount of liquid were rapidly use, and plasma were supplied according to proportion of plasma and red cell suspension (1 U:2 U-1 U:1 U). After remedy of shock, fluid infusion were sustained negative balance slightly and keep acid-base equilibrium of electrolyte. Dosage of balanced salt solution and blood transfusion before remedy shock were recorded, removal time of lactic acid, coagulation function, incidence and case fatality of DIC were observed.

RESULTSFour patients were died after 6-18 h into hospital (2 cases died for acute respiratory distress syndrome and 2 cases for irreversible shock). Twenty patients with shock were corrected at 2-6 h after injury. Dosage of balanced salt solution was(4,259 +/- 268) ml,red cell suspension was (14 +/- 2) U, fresh frozen plasma was (800-1,600) ml (FFP: 1 U = 100 ml) averaged (900 + 300) ml, blood platelet was 4-6 U. Coagulation function and electrolyte were normal. Lactic acid was less than 2 mmol/L within 24 h,the success rate of recovery was 83.3% (20/24).

CONCLUSIONPerforming DCR can obvious improve success rate of remedy serious fracture combined with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock. Supplementing FFP when correcting coagulation function should be carry out promptly in fluid resuscitation.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate clinical significance of waist soft tissue tension detection in treating chronic nonspecific low back pain.

METHODSFrom August 2011 to March 2012,60 patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain were divided into two groups (sliver needle group and TCM fumigation group) according to propotion of 1:1. In sliver needle group, there were 17 males and 13 females aged from 28 to 55 years old with an average age of (45.70 +/- 4.15), treated with sliver needle; In TCM fumigation group,there were 19 males and 11 females aged from 27 to 55 years old with an average age of (43.03 +/- 5.86), treated with TCM fumigation. Changes of force-displacement distance (FDD), specific absorption rate (S) of two groups were observed before treatment, 1 week and 3 months after treatment respectively, VAS scoring and Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ) were used to access clinical effects.

RESULTS(1) VAS score of silver needle group was 4.77 +/- 0.78, 1.99 +/- 1.08 and 2.55 +/- 0.94, respectively before treatment, at 1 week and 3 months after treatment,while VAS score in TCM fumigation group were 4.43 +/- 0.61, 2.48 +/- 0.71 and 3.05 +/- 0.86, respectively. VAS score of two groups after treatment were sigificant decrease than that of before treatment (P < 0.05). There was no sigificant differences between two groups before treatment, but sliver needle group performed well in analgesia than TCM fumigation group, and had obvious differences (P < 0.05). RMDQ score of silver needle group was 13.63 +/- 1.96, 5.87 +/- 2.33 and 6.53 +/- 2.89, respectively before treatment, at 1 week and 3 months after treatment, while RMDQ score in TCM fumigation group were 13.40 +/- 2.01, 6.90 +/- 2.31, 9.23 +/- 2.87, respectively. There was no significant differences between two groups before treatment and 1 week after treatment (P > 0.05), and had obvious differences between two groups at 3 months after treatment (P < 0.01). Both groups could obvious improve dysfunction caused by chronic low back pain, and curative effect of sliver needle groups was more endurable. (2) Following-up at 3 months after treatment, FDD of multifidus, erector spinae of effected side and multifidus of healthy in sliver needle group were obvious increased (P < 0.05); In TCM fumigation group, FDD of multifidus and erector spinae on both side were increased at 1 week after treatment (P < 0.05), but had no significant meaning at 3 months after treatment on health side (P>0.05). There was no significant meaning before treatment (P > 0.05), FDD of multifidus, erector spinae of effected side in sliver needle group were obvious increased at 1 week after treatment (P < 0.05); but no obvious meaning on health side. FDD of both side in sliver needle group were obvious increased at 3 months after treatment. (3) There was correlation among differences of FDD in multifidus and erector spinae, VAS score and differences of RMDQ, and Spearman correlation coefficient R was 0.517, 0.811, 0.746 and 0.625; There was correlation between items of soft tissue tension and sympotoms, function and life quality. Conclusion:Soft tissue tension detection can effectively manifest degree of pain and dysfunction of low back, and improve objectivity of therapeutic evaluation for chronic low back pain.

OBJECTIVETo compare clinical outcomes of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) in treating distal tibial comminuted fractures at early and delayed stage.

METHODSFrom January 2006 to January 2012,66 patients with distal tibial comminuted fractures were treated by MIPPO. All patients were divided into primary group and delayed group according to operation time. There were 31 patients in primary group, including 18 males and 13 females aged 21 to 57 years old with an average of (39.0 +/- 17.8), treated by MIPPO at primary stage,according to Tscherne soft tissue injury, 18 cases were grade I ,12 cases were grade II and 1 case were grade III. Thirty-five patients were treated by MIPPO at delayed stage, including 16 males and 19 females aged 24 to 55 years old with an average of (39.5 +/- 15.2), according to Tscherne soft tissue injury, 6 cases were grade I, 26 cases were grade II and 3 cases were grade III. Operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, fracture healing time and complications of two groups were recorded and observed, Lowa scoring of ankle joint were used to evaluated therapeutic effects at final following and AP and lateral X-rays were used to evaluated fracture reduction and alignment.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up, the time of following-up of primary group was (13.5 +/- 3.5) months, (15.2 +/- 3.8) months in delayed group, there was no significant meaning between two groups (t = 1.882, P = 0.064). There was no significant differences between two groups in operation time and blood loss (P > 0.05), but hospital stay in primary group was shorter than that of delayed group(P<0.05). There was no significant meaning between primary group (5.5 +/- 2.8) and delayed group (6.2 +/- 3.1) in fracture healing time (t = 0.958, P = 0.342); there was no significant meaning between primary group (87.6 +/- 6.8) and delayed group (89.6 +/- 5.2) in Lowa scores at final following-up (t = 1.351, P = 0.182). Two cases occurred postoperative superficial inflammatory reaction around fibular incision in primary group, 1 case occurred postoperative superficial inflammatory reaction around fibular incision and 1 case occurred delayed deep incision infection in delayed group at four months after operation. There was no significant differences in incidence of postoperative soft tissue complications between primary group (6.5%) and delayed group (5.7%) (t = 0.016, P = 0.900).

CONCLUSIONFor distal tibial comminuted fractures with grade I and II of Tscherne soft tissue injury, MIPPO at primary stage can not increase incidence of soft tissue complications, also can obtain the same clinical outcomes just like delayed MIPPO.
