Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is an emergency with a high mortality rate, characterized by acute onset and identification difficulties. EHS prevention focuses on evaluating the environment by professionals, making preventive measures in advance, identifying internal and external risk factors for the onset of disease, carrying out prior heat adaptation and endurance training, monitoring the status of high risk persons in real time. After occurrence of EHS, the key to success treatment is on-site accurate identification and diagnosis and rapid implementation of effective cooling measures, thus winning time of EHS patients transferred to the hospital for the treatment. This article reviews the current status of EHS prevention and treatment in domestic and foreign from the scene to the hospital. Summarizing the recognition, diagnosis, cooling measures, treatment concepts and principles of EHS, we hope to provide a reference for the rescue of EHS in hospital and outside.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban or enoxaparin in preventing deep vein thrombosis(DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after major orthopedic surgery. Methods A total of 278 patients underwent major orthopedic surgery, from September 2009 to May 2012, were included in this study. One hundred and forty patients (the average age was 72.7 years, 42.8% were male) were treated with oral rivaroxaban, 10 mg/d. One hundred and thirty-eight patients (the average age was 69.9 years, 39.1%were male) were treated with subcutaneous enoxaparin,40 mg/d. Data were compared between two groups. The ending events included venous thrombosis VTE(DVT and PE), wound complica-tions, re-admission,need for blood transfusion,big and minor bleeding events and death. Results There were no signifi-cant differences in the incidence of VTE, blood transfusions and re- admission rates between two groups. The incidence rates of minor bleeding were 2.1%and 5.8%in two groups. There were no pulmonary embolism, severe bleeding or death in two groups of patients.Conclusion There were no significant differences in the incidence rates of VTE or major bleeding areas in patients with oral treatment of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin.Rivaroxaban was safer with a slightly decrease in minor bleeding and wound complications.

Objective To analyse the effect of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy of palma-plantar hyperhidrosis. Methods Between January 2006 and January 2009,77 cases with palma-plantar hyperhidrosis were operated by thoracoscope. Fifty-two cases of palma-axillary-plantar hyperhidrosis were performed sympathectomy of T2-T4 and 25 cases of palma-plantar were performed sympathectomy of T2-T3.Bilateral procedures were completed in the same position. Results After operation palmar hyperhidrosis and armpits hyperhidrosis all were cured. Of soles, 7 cases were completely dry, 34 cases nearly dry, 32 cases unchanged and 4 cases worse. There was no significant difference in the change of plantar hyperhidrosis between sympathectomy of T2-T3 and T2-T4 (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions Bilateral single port for endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy produces slighter trauma and patients easily accept it. Plantar sweating can be relieved or nearly relieved in partial patients after thoracic sympathectomy. There is no difference in the effect of plantar hyperhidrosis between sympathectomy of T2-T3 and T2-T4.

Five known compounds have been isolated from the culture of an endophytic fungus Fusarium sp., which was originated in a seagrass Spartina alterniflora. Their structures have elucidated by TLC comparision with standard and spectral methods as ergosterol (Ⅰ), ergosterol peroxide (Ⅱ) cinnamic acid (Ⅲ), para-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid (Ⅳ) and beauvericin (Ⅴ), respectively.

Object To find out which of the 27 ginsenosides isolated from Panax ginseng C A Mey that may inhibit the proliferation of human osteosarcoma cell line U 2OS Methods Effects of each individual ginsenoside on the proliferation of U 2OS cell were studied by determining the viability of cancer cells during culture with or without the presence of the test compound DNA assay was determined by flow cytometry Results Ginsonosides Ro, Rh 1, Rh 2, F 1 and L 8 at concentrations of 5 ?mol/L could obviously suppress the proliferation of U 2OS cells while ginsenosides Rg 1, F 3, Rf, PPT and PT significantly inhibited the cancer cells Flow cytometry revealed that ginsenosides Ro, Rg 1, Rf, F 1, Rh 2 ,PPT and PT induced cell cycle arrest at G 0/G 1 phase with obvious decrease of cell count at S and G 2+M phase Moreover, ginsenosides Rf 1, Rg 1, F 1 and PPT induced significantly high rates of cell death as compared with the control Conclusion These data suggested that ginsenosides inhibited U 2OS proliferation via cell cycle arrest or induction of cell death

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the predictive accuracy of the SurgiCase CMF software in surgical simulation and prediction for mandibular asymmetry with 3-dimensional simulation and measurement.

METHODSCBCT data of 27 patients with mandibular asymmetry were observed in CMF, and postoperative soft tissue physiognomy were predicted by simulating sagittal ramus osteotomy with or without genioplasty. The measurement parameters representing the symmetry of soft tissue were selected and the horizontal, coronal and sagittal planes were established. The results were analyzed by SPSS 19. 0. The overlap compared color grading charts were observed.

RESULTSAngles between cheilions and the horizonta plane (Ch-Ch-FH) in the simulation and postoperative soft tissues are (2. 35 ± 1. 81)° and (1. 44 ± 1. 13)°. The angles constructed among subnasale, upper lip and lower lip (Sn-UL-LL) are (4. 02 ± 3. 05)° and (2. 59 ± 1. 64)°, showing statistically different (P < 0. 01, P < 0. 05), which means that predictive accuracy of the lip canting and lip vertical deviation is relatively low. Distance between gonioi and sagittal plane (Go'-MS), distance between gonion and pogonion (Go'-Pog') and angle betweer subnasale to menton and the horizontal plane (Sn-Me'-MS) are not statistically different, which mean! high predictive accuracy of mandibular angle and chin. By observing the overlap compared color gradin-) charts, the predictive accuracy is not good in the cheek, especially in the deviate side.

CONCLUSIONSThe predictive accuracy of CMF system for patients with mandibular asymmetry is relatively high, but it is not good in the lip and cheek. The software improvement is still necessary.

Aim To study the effects of ginsenoside-Ro on cell proliferation and cytokine production in murine splenocytes. Methods The effect of ginsenoside-Ro on murine splenocytes proliferation was studied using [3 H] thymidine incorporation assay. Effects of ginsenoside-Ro on the production of cytokines interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) from murine splenocytes were detected by ELISA method. Effects of ginsenoside-Ro on mRNA level of Th1 cytokine IFN-γ and Th2cytokine IL-4 were evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis.Results Ginsenoside-Ro showed no mitogenic effect on unstimulated murine splenocytes. It enhanced the proliferation of Con A-induced murine splenocytes and the production of IL-2 at concentrations of 1 - 10decreased the production and expression of Th1 cytokine IFN-γ in Con A-induced murine splenocytes at regulating the production and expression of Th1/Th2 cytokines in murine splenocytes.
