Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2012;21(4):411-414
ObjectiveTo explore the prognosis and relationship between soluble differentiation antigen of cluster designation 14 (sCD14) and the injury severity score (ISS) of casualties with multiple injuries.Methods A total of 86 casualties with multiple injuries were enrolled from October 2009 to March 2010,and the severity of trauma of casualties were assessed in ISS score within the first 24 hours after accident,and the patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups as per the outcomes in 28 days after accident. Another 20 healthy subjects served as control group. In multiple injuries group,sCD14 concentrations were detected and APACHE Ⅱ scores were calculated on the 1st,3rd,5th and 7th days after accident.The related coefficient between sCD14 and ISS was calculated and then the values of sCD14 in predicting prognosis were analyzed by ROC curve. ResultsCompared with control group, sCD14 concentrations were obviously higher in casualties of multiple injuries group at all observation intervals ( P <0.01). Compared with survival group, casualties of non-survival group had more higher sCD14 concentrations and APACHE Ⅱ scores ( P < 0.05 ).The sCD14 concentration was correlated with ISS and the related coefficient was 0.469 ( P < 0.01 ). ROC curve analysis suggested sCD14 had values in predicting prognosis of casualties with multiple injuries and area under ROC curve was 0.820.Conclusions The concentration of sCD14 is correlated with ISS and can be used for predicting the prognosis of casualties with multiple injuries.

Clinical Medicine of China 2014;30(5):537-540
Objective To investigate the effect of common diseases by the Charlson weighted index of comorbidities(WIC) in predicting 1-year survival rate of older patients with rectum cancer.Methods Retrospective analyzed 160 patients with rectum cancer who were admitted in general surgery of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from Jun.2011 to May 2012.The patients were divided into two groups according to 1-year survival status:survival group (n =123) and death group (n =37).The data were recorded including age,gender,cancer diagnosis,underlying diseases,operation mode (laparoscopic or open) The WIC and the Acute physiology and chronic health Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score were calculated.Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent predictors for 1-year survival rate.Receiver operating characteristics(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of WIC in predicting 1-year survival rate.Results Of the 160 patients,123 cases survived,37 cases died at 1 year after treatment.WIC score and APACHE score in death group were (2.2 ± 1.3) and (11.5 ± 5.1),higher than those of survival group (1.3 ± 1.2,9.5 ± 4.3 ;P =0.021,0.014).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that age,mode of operation,WIC score and APACHE score were related to the 1-year survival status of patients with rectal cancer(OR(95% CI):1.053 (1.018-1.178,1.021 (1.011-1.906),1.786 (1.203-2.235),1.019 (1.004-1.628).ROC curve area of forecasting of death of the WIC score,APACHE Ⅱ score and the combination of the two are 0.731,0.828,0.959.Conclusion The WIC scoring system can be a good evaluation method for 1-year survival rate in old patients with rectum cancer.

Objective To investigate the changes of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty on the auditory function in adult patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).The possible mechanism of hypoxemia was analyzed,and hypercapnia might affect auditory function and the effect of operation to hearing was improved.Methods A total of 82 adult patients who were made a diagnosis by polysomnography (PSG) with severe OSAHS had been diagnosed by pure tone audiometry,tympa-nometry,auditory brainstem responses (ABR),and otoacoustic emissions (OAE) before and 6 months after surgical treatments.The control group included 43 non-snoring healthy people through the same line of the above test.Results (1)Among 82 patients who underwent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty,symptoms were resolved in 51 patients,significantly improved in 24 patients,and somewhat improved in7 patients at 6 months followed-up,yielding a total effective rate of 100%.(2)There were no significant differences in hearing threshold across 250 to 4 000 Hz on pure tone audiometry between OSAHS and control groups (P > 0.05),although hearing thresholds at high frequencies showed significant differences (P < 0.05).(3)The latencies of ABR waves Ⅰ and Ⅴ in the OSAHS group were significantly longer than control group (P < 0.05).The interpeak lantency intervals of wave Ⅲ ~ Ⅴ in patients with OSAHS were longer than that in the control group (P < 0.05).No significant difference was showed before and after surgery (P > 0.05).(4)Distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) detection rate and amplitudes at all frequencies were poorer in OSAHS group before surgery compared with the control group (P < 0.05),and significant changes were found after surgical treatments (P < 0.05).Conclusions OSAHS can impair auditory function,probably from chronic hypoxia,which can be improved by surgical treatment in adult patients with severe OSAHS.

BACKGROUND: As a kind of unwounded biomagnetism technique, magnetoencephalography (MEG) relfects immediate information of cerebral function by using magnetic source imaging through recording changes of magnetic field of neurocytes under different functional status.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the practicability of magnetoencephalography (MEG) imaging in localizing sensory-motor cortex for brain tumour surgery in 36 patients.DESIGN: Observational study.SETTING: Department of Neurosurgery, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.PARTICTPANTS: From Janury 2003 to April 2006, 36 patients (17 male and 19 female) with brain tumors selected from Deparment of Neurosurgery, Guangdong 999 Brain Hospital underwent surgery with MEG-guided neuronavigation in the region of the sensory and motor cortex. Ages of the patients ranged from 13 to 70 years. Among the 36 patients, 14 with gliomas (including 5 highly malignant gliomas), 19 with meningomas, 1 with spongy angioma and 2 with adenocarcinoma (due to the metastasis of brain tumor). All patients and relatives provided the confirmed consent and the experiment provided by the local ethics committee.METHODS: A 148-channel biomagnetometer (4-D Neuroimaging, USA) was used to determine motor and/or senory cortex with sampling rate 678.17 Hz, high-pass filter 1.0 Hz and bandwith 200 Hz. MRI images were acquired using a Philips Gyroscan Intera 1.5T MR tomography. And then, the functional maps were transfered to the neuronavigation system for the treatment of brain tumor. All patietns followed up by further consultation and telephone call in 2-26 months after operation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES : Operative outcome and prognosis.RESULTS: MEG demonstrated that the tumor lesion changed the sensory-motor cortex in various degrees for the 36 patients. Brain tumors were resected completely in 34 cases. At 2-26 months after surgery, neurological deficits fully recovered in 19 cases, unchanged in 15 cases and deteriorated in 2 cases.CONCLUSION: MEG was found to be practical and useful in localizing sensory-motor cortex and brain tumor. It is a valuable non-invasive method for presurgical planning in the treatment of brain tumors.

Objective To discuss the effectiveness and safety of Ommaya sar implantation through neuronavigation in treatment of intracranial cysts. Methods Twenty-eight patients with intracranial cysts (cystic glioma, cystic metastases, radioactive encephalopathy cystic necrosis), admitted to our hospital from January 2007 to December 2014, were chosen in our study; these patients accepted Ommaya sar implantation through neuronavigation. The clinical data, disease courses, CT scan results, operation efficacies and postoperative complications of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results In the 8 patients with cystic gliomas, improvement of clinical symptoms and activity of daily living was noted in 6 patients; imaging re-check indicated focus shrink<50%in 6 patients, enjoying an effective rate of 75%. In the 12 patients with cystic metastases, the improvement of clinical symptoms and activity of daily living was noted in 9 patients; imaging re-check indicated focus shrink<50% in 9 patients, enjoying an effective rate of 75%. In the 8 patients with radioactive encephalopathy cystic necrosis, the improvement of clinical symptoms and activity of daily living was noted in 7 patients;imaging re-check indicated focus shrink<50%in 7 patients, enjoying an effective rate of 87.5%. No antidromic intracranial infection was noted in these 28 patients. Conclusion Implantation of Ommaya sar through neuronavigation is an effective treatment in intracranial cysts, enjoying minimally invasiveness.
