Objective To explore the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of mobile intensive care and pre-hospital surgical service for patients with severe thoracic injuries so as to further improve success rate of treatment of severe thoracic trauma. Methods A retrospective study was done on the clinical data of 72 patients with severe thoracic injuries (AIS≥3) treated by surgeons from Chongqing Emergency Medical Center (CEMC) from April 1998 to August 2008. The patients were divided into pre-hospital group (n = 36) and in-hospital group (n = 36) according to the time that the definite surgery performed. Results (1) There was no significant statistical difference upon arrival time from scene to primary hospital between two groups (P > 0.05). For patients in pre-hospital group, the time to receive definite surgery was (3.9±4.1) hours, which was significant shorter than (9.6±8.2) hours in in-hospital group (P < 0.05). (2) There were no statistical significant differences upon blood loss volume and blood transfusion volume between two groups (P > 0.05). (3) There was no significant statistical difference upon ISS value between two groups (P > 0.05), but the RTS value of pre-hospital group was significantly lower than that of in-hospital group (P < 0.05). The incidence rate of shock in pre-hospital group was 86.1%, which was significantly higher than 41.7% in in-hospital group (P < 0.05). (4) The percentage of patients who received thoracic close drainage in pre-hospital group was 16.7%, which was significantly higher than 5.6% in in-hospital group. There was no significant statistical difference upon thoracic close drainage plus thoracotomy, thoracic close drainage plus laparotomy and thoracic close drainage plus other operations between two groups. However, the operative rate of thoracic close drainage plus thoracotomy for penetrating injury was 4.8 times higher than that for blunt injury in pre-hospital group, and 1.9 times higher than that for blunt injury in-hospitai group. The operative rate of thoracic close drainage plus laparotomy for blunt injury was 5 times higher than that for penetrating injury in prehospital group, and 4.5 times higher than that for penetrating injury in in-hospital group. The overall survival rate was 95.8% (69/72). Five of eight moribund patients were saved in pre-hospital group, the prevented death rate accounted for 13.9% (5/36) in this group. Conclusions It is flexible, safe and effective to implement mobile intensive care and definite lifesaving surgical interventions for patients with severe thoracic injuries in primary hospitals. After the condition of the patient is stabilized, a quick transportation of the patients to a higher level trauma centers (hospitals) for further treatment may reduce the pre-hospital death rate.

Objective To further improve level of severe chest trauma care in the elderly pa-tients. Methods A retrospective study was done on data of 148 elderly patients (≥65 years with se-vere chest trauma (AIS≥3 points) (elderly group) treated in Chongqing Emergency Medical Center from June 1995 to May 2005. A total of 1669 patients at age less than 65 years and with AIS≥3 points were set as control group in the same research period (control group). Results The main injury mechanism was blunt trauma, which aceouted for 83.8% (124/148) in elderly group, higher than 69.3% (1 157/ 1 669) in control group (P < 0. 01). The injury causes were mainly traffic accidents, slip and fall from a height. Traffic accidents and slip accounted for 66.2% (98/148) and 14.9% (22/148) respectively, which was significantly higher than 50.6% (845/1 669) and 3.1% (52/1 669) respectively in control group (P < 0. 01). There was no statistical difference upon ISS, RTS, GCS and prehospital time between both groups (all P value > 0.05). The fatality rate and indicence rate of complication in the elerly group were 15.5% (23/148) and 25.7% (38/148), which was significantly higher than 6.5% (108/1 669) and 10.4% (174/1 669) respectively in control group (P <0.01). The fatality rate in elderly group with complications was significantly higher than that in control group (51.7% vs 26.7%) (P < 0.01), while those without complications showed no statistical difference between two groups (6.7% :3.5%) (P >0. 05). Conclusions The patient' s age and complications are relative independent factors to es-timate the trauma care outcome. To raise risk awareness and strengthen the management of complications and supportive treatments for organ function are key to improve survival rate of the elderly patients with se-vere chest trauma.

BACKGROUND:In previous experiments, a polymer-shel ed microbubble contrast agent was successful y prepared using L-polylactic acid-polyethylene glycol methyl-covered liquid fluorocarbon perfluoropentane, which developed wel in vivo and in vitro under a second harmonic contrast-enhanced ultrasound with a low mechanical index OBJECTIVE:To optimize the conditions for preparing polymer-shel ed microbubble contrast agents with high yield and suitable size. METHODS:The polymer-shel ed microbubble contrast agent containing perfluoropentane was prepared by single emulsion method. Three preparation conditions, including polymer mass/perfluoropentane volume ratio (4/1, 2/1, 1/1, 1/2), hemogenate speed (18 000, 26 000, 35 000 r/min) and time (15, 30, 60, 120 seconds), were optimized, and the microbubble yield and size were set as judge standard. The contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of rabbit kidney was performed using the optimized microbubbles, and the arrival time, time to peak, half time of descending and peak intensity were analyzed by TCA software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The preparation conditions were optimized as a polymer mass/perfluoropentane volume ratio of 2/1, homogenate speed of 26 000 r/min and homogenate time of 60 seconds, which presented a high microbubble yield of (1.8±0.4)×109/mL and mean size of (3.7±1.3)μm with uniform distribution. The arrival time, time to peak, half time of descending and peak intensity were detected as (3.1±0.6) seconds, (2.9±0.5) seconds, (4.0±0.7) seconds and (4.7±1.1)×10-5 AU, respectively. The polymeric microbubbles prepared by optimized conditions were of high yield, with suitable size and good contrast-enhanced effect in vivo.

ObjectiveTo explore the compatibility advantage of Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma in the prevention and treatment of neuroinflammation, and to elucidate the action characteristics and mechanism of the compatibility advantage based on Toll like receptor (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) pathway. MethodRepresentative mouse microglia cells (BV2) in vitro were selected and divided into 8 groups: control group, model group, Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma group, Piracetam group, Scutellariae Radix group and Coptidis Rhizoma group. The BV2 cell inflammatory model was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the cell activity was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Cell morphology was observed under bright field. The production and release of pro-inflammatory factors in BV2 cells were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence assay, and the mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 was detected by immunofluorescence, and TLR4 signal transduction inhibitor (CLI-095) and NF-κB inhibitor (PDTC) were used to confirm the anti-neuroinflammation targets of Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma. ResultCompared with the conditions in the control group, most cells in LPS-induced model group were activated, and the contents of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in culture medium and cells and the mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65 were increased (P<0.01), with obvious nuclear entry of NF-κB p65. Compared with the conditions in the model group, BV2 cell morphology was mostly recovered after pretreatment in Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma and Piracetam groups, and the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β and the mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65 were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), with NF-κB p65 mostly observed in cytoplasm. Compared with the conditions in the model group, cell morphology was slightly recovered in Scutellariae Radix group and Coptidis Rhizoma group, and the levels of pro-inflammatory factors and mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65 were reduced. In terms of inhibitory effect on pro-inflammatory factors, Scutellariae Radix group and Coptidis Rhizoma group were lower than Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the "Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma+CLI-095" group and "Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma+PDTC" group had lowered mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the transfer of NF-κB p65 into nucleus was obviously inhibited. ConclusionThe anti-neuroinflammation effect of Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma was significantly better than Scutellariae Radix or Coptidis Rhizom alone, and the anti-neuroinflammation advantage was closely related to the inhibition of activation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in microglial cells. It was confirmed that TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB were potential targets for Scutellariae Radix-Coptidis Rhizoma to exert the compatibility advantage.
