OBJECTIVE: Post-traumatic healing style is an important link in the process of wound healing. Scarless healing of fetus skin after trauma is the ideal healing style that is hunted for by people. The results of studies on the mechanism of scarless healing were reviewed to explore the mechanism of scarless healing of fetus skin.DATA SOURCES: Computer was applied to retrieve Medline database on the articles relating to the mechanism of scarless healing of fetus skin from January 1970 to December 2003. Docuterms were "fetus, skin and scarless healing". Language in the articles was limited to English.STUDY SELECTION: The documents were examined at first to exclude the study on non-healing mechanism. Full texts were found in the surplus documents. The inclusive criterion was the foundational experiment on the mechanism of scarless healing. Clinical trial and phenomenal study on scarless healing were excluded.DATA EXTRACTION: Forty-eight articles on experimental study relating to embryonic scarless healing were collected in all. Sixteen experiments accorded with the inclusive criterion and 32 were excluded.DATA SYNTHESIS: Sixteen experiments discussed the relationship between the fetus and scarless healing on terms of growth environment, inflammation reaction to trauma and regulation of fibroblast in organism, extracellular matrix and nany cellular factors.CONCLUSION: Growth environment of fetus has not so much relationship with the mechanism of scarless healing after trauma. Low reaction of fetus to inflammation, different extracellular matrix, component of collagen fiber and cell factors may take part in scarless healing process. Regulation of gene expression may play an important role in the process. But the concrete mechanism of scarless healing is not clear yet and still needs more researches and elucidations.

Objective To retrospectively review the epidemiological data from 159,242 patients hospitalized after traumatic brain injury in traffic accidents and provide epidemiological evidences for the prevention and treatmentmeasures.Methods Patient data were collected using the Chinese Trauma Database for the years 2001-2007.Epidemiological features of age,gender,time distribution,length of hospital stay,state of injury,and treatment outcome were recorded.Results Age of the patients was (33.01 ± 15.20) years and ratio of male to female patients was 2.39∶ 1.The majority were aged 21-50 years with the 31-40 age group were more vulnerable.Annual average growth of age was 3.92％.Within a year,number of the patients accounted for 54.10％ from July to December with it reached the peak in October.Mean length of stay was 20.20 days with the longest stay in the ≥90 age group and shortest stay in the ≤10 age group.Mean hospital charges was 13 689.8 yuan with the ≤10 age group occupying the least and 51-60 age group occupying the most.Overall cure rate was 66.92％ and mortality was 4.22％.Proportion of severe traumatic brain injury in traffic accidents increased and related cure rate decreased with increased age.Male patients showed higher death rate and lower cure rate compared with female patients.Conclusions Incidence of traffic accidents-related traumatic brain injury is the most in the young and middle-aged population and is prevalent in the second half year.There should be emphasis on the aged or male patients.Measures to prevent and treat the injury may produce better results when defined based upon these epidemiologic features.

Objective To study the positive influence of a standard trauma system on the care of severely injured patients.Methods The severely injured patients (NISS≥16 points)were divided into study group ( in 2006-2008,after the establishment of trauma center in our hospital) and control group (in 2001-2005,before the establishment of trauma center),which was bound by the establishment of the trauma center in our hospital in January 2006.The injury severity,care and outcomes were recorded by using China Trauma Database and changes in efficiency and quality of injury care were compared.Results The study group (66 patients) and control group (260 patients) with NISS of (20.59 ±4.63)points and (20.57 ± 5.38 ) points respectively,were similar in the distribution of severity ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The emergency care time was (0.33 ± 0.03) hour in the study group,which was significantly shortened compared with (0.57 ±0.35 ) hours in the control group (P ＜ 0.01 ).The length of hospital stay was (27.64 ±29.01 ) days in the study group,which was shorter than (30.84 ± 32.87 ) days in the control group (P ＞ 0.05 ),while the length of ICU stay was (2.98 ± 5.77 ) days in the study group,longer than (2.65 ± 7.00) days in the control group (P ＞ 0.05 ).The recovery rate was significantly increased from 76.5％ to 87.9％ (P ＜0.05) and mortality was significantly decreased from 20.8％ to 9.1％ (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The study indicates that the standard first aid model can notably improve the trauma care in our hospital.

Objeetive To analyze traffic accidents involving pedestrians in Chongqing from 2000 to 2006 so as to understand injury characteristics of the pedestrians. MethodsThe data of pedestrian road traffic crashes and injuries in three districts including one district in downtown,one in suburb and one in county of Chongqing from 2000 to 2006 were collected from road traffic crash and road traffic injury database to analyze severity of crashes,casualties,action and location of pedestrians in crashes. Results The road crashes led to 7 934 pedestrian injuries (24.74％) and 867 pedestrian deaths (49.46％).Intensity of the pedestrian road crashes in rural areas was higher than that in downtowns and suburbs.Of all pedestrian casualties,57.91％ were due to illegally crossing the driveway,and 15.43％ of the casualties were on the crosswalk.Most of the casualties occurred on the main roads,the third class highways and second main roads in Chongqing.But serious crashes occurred on the first and second class highways and substandard highways,which led to average 3.17,4.13 and 5.42 deaths,respectively.Pedestrians accounting for 52.46％ of the total severe injuries were more than the proportion among the minor to moderate injuries.Head injuries were the most common for the pedestrians and chest injuries were also usual among the severe injuries. Conclusions The intensity of pedestrian road crashes is higher than that of other crashes,especially in rural areas.It should be noticed that the main injuries of the pedestrians are head injuries,which is mainly resulted from illegally crossing driveway.It is worth noticing that a rather high proportion of pedestrians are impaired on the crosswalks,indicating that we should pay more attention to protect right of the pedestrians on the crosswalks during transportation law enforcement and safety education in the future.

Objective To develop a trauma database and its network version which could adapt to the need of accumulation and analysis of trauma care data in hospitals.MethodsThe Trauma Data-base System was developed based on the basic data of trauma care course, with assistance of the Windows operation system and SQL SERVER 2000 database, with vb.net and asp.net as programming language and Browser/Server model as visiting model.Results The trauma database with normative 313 fields adaptive to the process and management of trauma in hospitals was established, and the network version of Trauma Database System V3.0 was programmed.Information stream of trauma care was established,which helped implementation of functions including relational selection between international classification of diseases of trauma and abbreviated injury scale, trauma scoring and trauma care quality evaluation, ar-bitrary query and report (including tri-crosstab).The system has been used in several hospitals and data collection of seismic patients in "5 ·12" Wenchuan earthquake.Conclusions A trauma database with a network version has been developed and the software suits to the trauma care data registration in hospital, which facilitates registration of the data on occurrence, diagnosis, treatment, outcome, quality evaluation of trauma and provides convenient query and analysis of trauma data.

Objective To investigate the changes of surfactant associated protein A (ST-A) concentration inBALF and its relatiomhips with pulmonary injury after blast injury and blast injury combined with hypoxia. MethodTotally 131 Wistar rats (purchased from animal center of research Institute of Surgery, Daping Hospital, ThirdMilitary Medical University) were randomly divided into four groups: blast injury group ( BI group), blast injurycombined with hypoxia group Ⅰ (BAg Ⅰ group), blast injury combined with hypoxia group Ⅱ (BA Ⅱ group) andnormal control group. After blast injury was made by KST - Ⅰ bio-shock tube, rats of BA Ⅰ and BA Ⅱ groups wereput into hypoxia cabins immediately, where gas mixtures of 12.5% and 10.0% oxygeon were given, respectively.Rats were sacrificed at 1, 3 and 6 hours after injury for gross anatomic examination, light and electron microscopeobservation and lung water determination. The level of SP-A in BALF was detected by Western blot. The data wereprocessed by t test or Chi-square test. Results The respiration increased with shortness of breath and dysphoria inrats of BA Ⅰ and BA Ⅱ groups, and obvious cyanosis on the lips and nose in rats of BA Ⅱ group after blast injury.The lung water in rats of all injury groups was significantly higher than that in normal control group (P<0.05).Gross anatomy changes were mainly pulmonary bleeding and edema. Under light microscope, incrassation of alveo-lar wall, bleeding in alveolar and mesenchyme edema were found. Whereas under electron microscope, breakageof alveolar wall and decrease of lamellar bodies in type Ⅱ cell were observed. All these changes were most obviousin BA Ⅱ group followed by BA Ⅰ and BI groups in severity decling order, with mortality rate of 37.5%, 11.1%and 2.1% respectively at 6 hours (P<0.01). The SP-A level in BALF decreased significantly (P<0.01) andhad a good negative relationship with the lung water after injury (r=0.796, P<0.001 ). Conclusions Blastinjury combined with hypoxia significantly deteriorates the lung injury. More severe and longer hypoxia may resultin more severe lung injury and higher mortality rate. A decrease in SP-A value in BALF shows a good negative re-lationship with the pulmonary edema. The SP-A can be a good indicator for lung injury severity after blast injuryand blast injury combined with hypoxia.

Objective To establish a road traffic crash (RTC) & traffic injury (RTI) database database with scientific and reasonable structure. Methods ( 1 ) A set of scientific and standard RTC&RTI survey form was made and a software for collection of data on RTC&RTI developed. (2) The general data on RTI&RTI of China was obtained from traffic management departments of China and the data of some districts in Chongqing from 2000 to 2006 were obtained. All the data were input into the database for analysis. Results A TRC&RTI database software V1. 0 was developed based on the survey form. The input items included data about the areas where the accidents occurred, the general situation of the specific accident, the road conditions, the accident causes and responsibilities, the vehicle and the injury to persons. We obtained the RTC and RTI data of China during past 13 years and collected data on 33 987 cases of RTC and 52369 RTI of four districts in Chongqing. The RTC&RTI database was established. Conclusions The database has involved detailed data of general road crashes and injury as well as individual crash, which provides a good support for further study of RTC and RTI.
