We reviewed medical data of 22 patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis therapy for acute isehemic stroke and evaluated our efforts of promoting intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke.The mean in-hospital delay was 107 minutes.The most common reason was waiting for the results of laboratory tests.Only 6 cases received a standard dose of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) at 0.9 mg/kg.Only one patient had asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.No symptomatic hemorrhage occurred.Intravenous thrombolysis for ischemic stroke had excellent safety profile.Intravenous thrombolysis for ischemic stroke should be promoted under the guidance of standardized protocol according to the national guideline.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of emergency pelvic external fixation in hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fracture.Methods The clinical data of 56 hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fracture from January 2008 to December 2013 were selected.The changes of hemoglobin,mean arterial pressure,heart rate,serum lactate,urine volume,norepinephrine dosage before and after surgery for 24 h were compared and analyzed.Results Compared with those before surgery,the levels of hemoglobin,mean arterial pressure,serum lactate,urine volume,heart rate after surgery for 24 h were significantly improved:(109 ± 12) g/L vs.(69 ±22) g/L,(87.8 ±6.5) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) vs.(55.8 ± 7.7) mmHg,(6.3 ± 5.1) mmol/L vs.(10.8 ± 6.6) mmol/L,(35.9 ± 9.9) ml/h vs.(17.6 ± 8.4) ml/h,(84.2 ± 15.4) times/min vs.(146.4 ± 12.1) times/min,and the norepinephrine dosage was significantly reduced:(0.8 ± 0.2) μ g/ (kg· min) vs.(2.2 ± 0.8) μ g/ (kg· min).The differences had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Bedside pelvic external fixation can rapidly improve shock symptom in hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fracture,which is safe and efficient.

Objective To explore radiographic and MRI features of the hemangiomas and vascular malformation in the deep soft-tissue of the extremities.Methods 89 cases confirmed by surgical pathology and angiography were analyzed retrospectively with clinical data and radiological findings.Imaging exams included plain X-ray performed in all patients,and MRI scan in 33 patients.Results On X-ray plain film,there was normal bone and soft tissue in 54 cases(60.7%),soft tissue abnormalities in 14 cases(1 5.7%),and phleboliths in 30 cases(33.7%).Also,plain X-ray film studies demonstrated bone changes adjacent to the deep soft tissue in 32 cases(36.0%), including periosteal reactions(13 cases),cortical erosion (1 6 cases),involvement of the bone marrow (10 cases)and 7 diffuse lesions with all above changes.On MRI,lesions were similar to honeycomb or sponge,and T1 WI showed isohypointense signal in 25 cases (75.8%),hypointense in 5 cases (1 5.2%),inhomogeneous slightly hyperintense in 3 cases (9.0%).On T2 WI,all lesions were well defined and showed hyperintense signals with hypointense septation,of which there were 9 cases with nodular hypointense areas and vascular flow effect.Hypointense phleboliths were showed in 10 cases(30.3%).Following injection of the contrast medium,all lesions had heterogeneous enhancement patterns.Of the 33 patients studies with MRI,lesions of 18 cases(54.5%)had bone changes which were adjacent to or partially or fully wrapped by neighbouring soft tissue lesions,in which lesions of 12 cases showed abnormal signal within bone marrow and lesions of 3 cases with vascular flow void phenomenon.In 15 cases (45.5%)without osseous change,lesions of 3 cases were adjacent to bone,and lesions of 12 cases were with fat and muscle septum between the bone and lesions.Conclusion The hemangiomas and vascular malformation in the deep soft-tissue of the extremities may cause changes in adjacent bones.Familiarity with the performance of reactive bone changes on X-ray and MRI may help to improve the diagnosis and avoid misdiagnosis.

Objective To investigate the alteration of nuclear factor kappa B( NF-κB) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) mRNA and protein in hippocampus in chronic constrictive injury (CCI) model of rats. Methods Seventy-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 38): the CCI group which received the chronic constriction injury and the sham group which received the sham operation as control. The mechanical and thermal nociceptive thresholds were assessed with paw withdrawal latency (PWL) to von Frey filaments and radiant heat at 1d before and ld,4d,7d,14d and 28d after CCI operation. Five animals were sacrificed at each time point for real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) and another three animals sacrificed at 7d postoperation for immunofluorescence histochemical staining. Results The thresholds to mechanical and thermal stimuli decreased obviously after operation in CCI group. The expressions of TNF-α and NF-κB mRNA began to increase at ld( (2.079 ±0. 104)times and 4d( ( 1.640 ± 0.064) times) after operation and reached the peak at 7d ((2.748 ±0.147)times, (2.010 ±0.096)times) ,then the expressions of TNF-a mRNA began to decrease,while the expressions of NF-kB mRNA maintained at a high level throughout the experiment. The result of immunofluorescence histochemical staining revealed that NF-kB and TNF-α protein expressions at 7 day increased significantly on the hippocampus,which was consisted with NF-κB and TNF-a mRNA levels. Conclusion The activation NF-κB and TNF-α in hippocampus may be involved in the procession of neuropathic pain.

Objective To investigate the changes in circulatory and pulmonary monary angiotensinⅡin rats with acite lung injury(ALI)and explore the role of angiotensinⅡin ALI.Method Thirty S-D rats were randomly divided into control group(n=6)and ALI group(n=24).The ALI group was further divided into four subgroups of observation at various intervals,3,6,9 and 12 hours after administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)into the femoral vein(each n=6).The indices rate,blood gas analysis,wet weight/dry weight(W/D)ratio of lung lobes,and pathological changes were successively observed at 3,6,9,and 12 hours after injury.The content of angiotensinⅡin lung tissue and blood plasma were detected at above set intervals by radioimmunoassay.Data of these assays were analyzed by one-factor analysis of variance.Results Compare with the control group,pH and PaO2 of arterial blood in ALI group decreased significantly(P＜0.05)at all intervals and PaCO2 of arterial blood in ALI group decreased significanfly(P＜0.05).at all intervals and PaCO2 of arterial blood and lung W/D weight ratio increased significantly(P＜0.05),and scores of lung histopathology denoted the lung injuried(P＜0.01).After injury of lung,angiotensin Ⅱ content increased markedly in lung homogenate and blood plasma (P＜0.05).Angiotensin Ⅱ content in blood plasma reached peak value at 9 hours,and content of angiotensin Ⅱ in lung homogenates kept on increasing at allintervals of observation.Conclusions A large amount of angiotensin Ⅱ releases into lung tissue and blood plasma during ALI,suggesting systemic and pulmonary rennin-angiotensin systems are activated.

Objective To systematically review the efficacy of dexmedetomidine or midazolam for sedation in critically ill patients. Methods We searched the PubMed, EMBaes, Cochrane Library, Wanfang Database,CNKI and VIP for all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus midazolam for sedation in severe cases. The quality of the studies was evaluated by the method recommended by Cochrane Collaboration. Meta-analysis was conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0 software. Results Six RCTs involving 613 patients were included in our Meta-analysis. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the length of ICU stay was significantly shorter in group dexmedetomidine than in group midazolam. There were no significant differences in the duration of mechanical ventilation, incidences of bradycardia, hypotension and delirium and mortality rate between the two groups. Conclusion Dexmedetomidin can shorten the length of ICU stay and is beneficial for the outcome in critically ill patients.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sedation with propofol or dexmedetomidine on volume responsiveness in critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure. Methods Ninety?one critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure, aged 20-90 yr, weighing 40-80 kg, requiring sedation with propofol or dexmedetomidine, of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ scores 12-47, of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores 1-18, and of NYHA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were included. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups using a random number table: propofol group ( n = 45 ) and dexmedetomidine group ( n=46) . Before and after propofol or dexmedetomidine sedation, when Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale score reached -2 or -1 ( BIS value 60-75) ( after sedation) , passive leg?raising (PLR) test was performed to evaluate volume responsiveness. An increase in cardiac index (ΔCI) ≥10% after PLR was considered to be a positive response, whereas ΔCI<10% after PLR was considered to be a negative response. The patients who presented with negative responses before sedation served as negative volume responsiveness subgroups ( N subgroups ) , that was PN subgroup and DN subgroup. Results The positive rates of volume responsiveness were 64% ( 14 cases) and 25% ( 5 cases) in PN and DN subgroups, respectively. The positive rates of volume responsiveness were significantly higher after sedation than before sedation in PN and DN subgroups. Compared with DN subgroup, the positive rates of volume responsiveness were significantly increased after sedation in PN subgroup. Conclusion For the critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure, both propofol and dexmedetomidine sedation can improve volume responsiveness, and propofol provides better efficacy than dexmedetomidine.

Objective To evaluate the effects and safety of closed tracheal suction system(CTSS)versus open tracheal suction system (OTSS) for mechanically ventilated patients.Methods All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing CTSS with OTSS for mechanically ventilated patients home and abroad were identified via manual and computer retrieval.All related data were extracted.Meta analysis was conducted using the statistical software RevMan 5.1 on the basis of strict quality evaluation with the methods recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration.Results Fifty-one related papers were found and 12 RCTs involving 1205 patients in CTSS group and 1179 patients in OTSS group were included.The results of meta analysis showed that CTSS was associated with a significant reduction in the duration of mechanical ventilation (WMD =-0.73,95％ CI-1.07--0.40,P＜0.0001),but the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia and microbial colonization,mortality and length of ICU stay exhibited no difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).However,compared with OTSS,CTSS reduced the incidence of arrhythmia (RR =0.23,95％ CI 0.07-0.74,P =0.01) and minimized the disturbance to heart rate (WMD =-1.97,95％ CI-3.03--0.91,P =0.0003),mean arterial pressure (WMD =-2.01,95％ CI-3.02--1.01,P ＜ 0.0001) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) (WMD =-1.00,95％ CI-1.14--0.86,P ＜ 0.000 01).Conclusions Compared with OTSS,CTSS could reduce disturbance to respiratory and circulatory system by sputum suction and shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation.However,CTSS has no advantage in prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia or microbial colonization,nor does it shorten the length of ICU stay or improve the outcome of mechanically ventilated patients.

BACKGROUND:Interlocking intramedul ary nail complications contain nail bent or broken, exit, re-fracture at spiketail or nail hole. Thus, our team designs a novel intramedul ary control ed dynamic nail.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the rationality and safety of intramedul ary control ed dynamic nail design and strength, and to give rational proposal for its clinical application.
METHODThe three-dimensional finite element models of composite femur, transverse fractures of the femoral shaft were constructed with intramedul ary control ed dynamic nailing. The stress and strain were detected under vertical loads and gait cycle.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The maximum stress of the intact femur under the compression load was at femoral neck and the medial and lateral aspects of the femoral shaft;while the stresses of fractured femur were at the interface between screw and screw hole. In gait cycle, in case of intact bone, large stresses were found in the distal 1/2 of anteriomedialis of femoral shaft;while the stress distribution in fractured femur was similar with the 
former. Intramedul ary control ed dynamic nailing has the ability of generating compression between fragments. These suggest that intramedul ary control ed dynamic nailing is rational and good at design and biomechanical properties.
