Objective To investigate and analyze the cause of the illness, types and conditions combined with dysfunction of important organs and death of severe heatstroke patients in military hospitals in southern China. Methods 117 cases of heatstroke patients from Jan 1988 to Mar 2005 admitted to 8 military hospitals were retrospectively analyzed. Results 94.02% of the cases occurred during military drill; 10% of patients complained of slight discomfort before or during the drill; the incidence of thermoplegia, heat cramp and heat exhaustion were 43.26%, 42.55% and 13.86%, respectively, in severe heatstroke, and the respective death rate was 9.76%, 5% and 23%. The incidence of severe heatstroke combined with liver dysfunction was 31.9%, with central nervous impairment was 14.9%, and with MOF was 21.3%. All patients survived when no organ dysfunction occurred; the death rate in those with single organ dysfunction was 3.6%, while it was 35% in MOF patients. Conclusion An attempt to set up a predicting index of heatstroke might be beneficial for scientifically supervising the military drill for the servicemen. Reduction of the core temperature is the“the first critical point”in the treatment. Other “critical point” in the treatment may also be emphasized for those with MOF. The present therapeutic system for heat stroke as executed in the military needs to be perfected.

Objective: To prepare monoclonal antibodies (McAb) with cardiac troponin I (cTnI) which was purified from fresh human cardiac muscle within 6 h. Methods: (1) Extraction and purification of human cTnI: cTnI was purified by high salt extraction, saltless precipitation, 65℃ treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-cellulose chromatography, etc. (2) Preparation of anti human cTnI McAb: The purified cTnI was injected into the spleen of BALB/c mice. The cTnI-primed spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0 myoloma cell. The McAbs anti human cTnI were obtained by screening with indirect ELISA and 3 times clone. (3)The identification of anti cTnI McAb. Results: Five hybridoma cell lines, named 3A7,3A11,3D2,3F10 and 1H9 were developed, which could secret McAb stably. The 5 McAbs all were demonstrated to be IgG2a by double gel diffusion test. The number of hybridoma chromosomes was between 92 to 110 and the chromosomes were mainly telocentric. Five kinds of ascites had no cross-reaction to LDH,CK,CK-MB ,AST and cardiac troponin T(cTnT), and their titers were between 3.2×10-6 to 1.6×10-7. Conclusion: 3D2,3F10 and 3A7,3A11,1H9 react to different epitopes of cTnI.

Objective To study the efficiency of tele-consultation on Internet with transmitting realtime 12-lead ECG carried out by the Chest Pain Center evaluated by the length of time required for the emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods A total of 435 STEMI patients treated by emergency PCI were divided into the group A (n =98,admitted in 2010),group B (n =114,admitted in 2011) and group C (n =223,admitted in 2012).Data were collected before (2010) and after establishment of the Chest Pain Center (2011 to 2012) including the length of time elapsed from onset of symptoms to the first medical contact (FMC),the length of time required from FMC to the intra-aortic balloon inflated (FMC-2B) and the length of time required from entering the gate of hospital to the intra-aortic balloon inflated (D-2B).Measure data were described with non-normal median and interquartile intervals.Comparisons were made among groups with rank sum test.Results The median time of D2B of three groups were 107,78 and 59 mins in groups A,B and C,respectively.The differences in D2B among three groups were significant (P =0.000).The time of the D2B was shortened significantly because of the patients transferred to the hospital with a variety of ways (P =0.008).However,the length of D2B time was not significantly changed (P =0.846) when patients came to the hospital all on themselves.The median times from symptom onset to FMC in the group A,group B and group C were 112,62 and 78 mins.and the differences among three groups were not statistically significant (P =0.368).The median times of FMC2B in three groups were 287.0,313.5 and 421.8 mins,respectively,and there were no significant differences (P =0.135).Conclusions The establishment of the Chest Pain Center and Internet of things can effectively shorten the duration of D2B in STEMI patients.However,the reduction of time length from the symptom onset to reperfusion must rely on the coordination between communities and health care system.

Objective To study the epidemiologic characteristics of trauma in the prehospital first-aid in megapolis. Methods The epidemiologic data of 10 654 traumatic patients,including treated by prehospital treatment and emergency treatment from January 2000 to January 2005,were analyzed.Results The proportion of male was 70.96%,adult patients(21~50 years old)79.23%,suburb 62.86%,downtown 37.14%.The patients whose ISS scores surpassed 16 accounted for 37.98%,which caused by traffic accident was 37.74%,by public order 24.39%,by industrial trauma 21.71%.The trauma in the limbs accounted for 67.51%,cephalic and cervical wounds accounted for 58.64%,multiple wounds 41.77%,thoracic and abdominal wounds 39.41%.Three hundred and sixty one were killed on the spot,which caused by traffic accident were 46.81%,by public order 28.81%,by industrial trauma 14.40%.Forty-two percent point six six patients died of multiple trauma,54.07% died of cephalic and cervical trauma,15.79% died of thoracic and abdominal wounds.Conclusion Suburban area gradually became the frequently-occurred areas of trauma in megapolis. The wounded were mainly young adults and had a tendency of juvenility.The majority of damaging and lethal factors were traffic accident,public order and industrial trauma.Some pertinet measures and professional first-aid models may improve the traumatic first-aid level.

To report a case of Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair, and to detect gene mutations in the family. A 3-year-old female patient presented with a special facial appearance, short stature, deep palmar and plantar creases, and dark skin. The scalp hair was sparse and thin, dermoscopy showed black spot sign, single-hair follicular units, hair shafts varying in the diameter, upright hair and new vellus hair, and constriction of hair shafts and nodular hair were occasionally observed. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the proband and her parents, and the genomic DNA was extracted for whole-exome sequencing. A heterozygous missense mutation c.4A>G was identified in exon 2 of the SHOC2 gene in the proband, resulting in the substitution of serine by glycine at amino acid position 2 (p.S2G) . The mutation was not identified in either of her parents. Combined with the clinical phenotype and gene mutation, the diagnosis of Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair was confirmed.
