Objective To explore the determinant factors influencing the constituent parts of radiological examination in severe trauma patients so as to provide scientific basis for optimized strategy of radiological examination. Methods A prospective study was carried out from April to July 2010 in a tertiary hospital. Clinical data of 60 severe trauma patients admitted to emergency department and ICU were recorded. The type, number and site of trauma under radiological examination were described and compared among different stages of treatment. The correlation between number of radiological examinations and age, number of injured site, injury severity score (ISS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), ICU stay and overall length of hospital stay were analyzed. Results (1) The majority of radiological examinations in 60 patients were radiography and CT, with a corresponding median number of 6.0(3.0~ 11.0, IQR)and 10.0(8.0 ~ 13.8, Qr) times per patient. (2) The numbers of radiography examinations requested in emergency room, emergency ICU and general ward were quite approximately equal (x2 =4.043 ,P =0. 132), while CT examinations were mainly requested in emergency room and emergency ICU (x2 = 20. 274 , P < 0. 001). (3) The numbers of radiological examinations requested for different sites of injury were quite significantly different between radiography and CT during different stages of treatment (x2 = 114.609, 75.932, P < 0.01). (4 ) The number of CT scan requested was positively correlated with number of injured site, ISS, ICU and overall length of hospital stay (r =0.273,0.369,0.523,0.417,all P <0.05). Conclusions The sum of radiological examinations in severe trauma patients was great mainly in radiography and CT, and CT was more predominantly requested. The number of CT scans examinations was positively correlated with severity of injury and length of ICU stay. Further study is warranted to optimize radiological examination in severe trauma patients.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and the predictive value of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small cell lung cancer patients, as well as to analyze further EGFR muta-tions and CEA levels affecting patient survival. Methods:From March 2009 to March 2011, a total of 387 cases were treated in the Lung Cancer Department in Tianjin Cancer Hospital. Preoperative CEA tumor marker and postoperative EGFR gene mutation were used for routine detection. The influence of CEA tumor marker on EGFR mutation and its relationship with the prognosis were ana-lyzed further. Results:A total of 168 cases involved EGFR mutations, the incidence of which is more frequent in women, non-smokers, adenocarcinoma patients, and patients below 60 years old (P<0.05). This study also determined that EGFR mutation was related with tu-mor markers and chemosensitivity indicators. Elevated Cyfra21-1, SCC, and ERCC1-positive are more common in wild-type patients (P<0.05). However, abnormal CEA was more common in EGFR mutation patients (P=0.015). The rate of EGFR gene mutations signifi-cantly increased as the serum CEA level increased. Serum CEA levels were divided into three groups (<5, 5-20, and>20). The positive rates of EGFR mutations were 40.1%, 47.5%and 66.6%(P=0.003). Logistic regression analysis determined that CEA levels are inde-pendent factors in predicting EGFR mutations and independent prognostic factors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Conclu-sion:Serum CEA levels can independently predict the prognosis of resected non-small cell lung cancer patients, which is has a close re-lationship with EGFR mutations.

Objective To explore the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and its possible mechanism in rats. Methods Ninety healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=18) according to the random number table, namely sham-operated group, SAH group, vehicle control group, SAH+PI3K/Akt pathway agonist group (group A), and SAH+PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor group (group I, n=18). Rat SAH models of the later 4 groups were established by intravascular puncture; rats in the vehicle control group, group A, and group I were given 10μL dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1, 1μg/10 μL), and Ly294002 (25μg/10μL) solution, respectively, before model making. After 24 h of intravascular puncture, modified Garcia nerve function scale was used to evaluate the motor function, dry-wet weight method was used to detect the water content of the brain tissues, and immunofluorescence staining was employed to observe the β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP)/ βtubulin III positive expressions in the subcortical white matter, and Western blotting was employed to detect theβ-APP, and total (t)-and phosphorylated (p)-PI3K and Akt protein expressions in the brain tissues; one month after modeling, HE staining was used to observe the changes of cell structure after cerebral edema. Results As compared with the sham-operated group, SAH model group had significantly lower modified Garcia nerve function scale scores, significantly increased brain water content, significantly larger number ofβ-APP/βtubulin III positive cells, statistically increasedβ-APP protein expression, and significantly increased t-PI3K, and t-Akt protein expressions (P<0.05). As compared with the SAH model group, group A had significantly higher modified Garcia nerve function scale scores, significantly decreased brain water content, significantly smaller number of β-APP/ βtubulin III positive cells, statistically decreasedβ-APP protein expression, and significantly increased p-PI3K and p-Akt protein expressions (P<0.05). As compared with group A, group I had significantly lower modified Garcia nerve function scale scores, significantly increased brain water content, significantly larger number ofβ-APP/βtubulin III positive cells, statistically increasedβ-APP protein expression, and significantly decreased p-PI3K and p-Akt protein expressions (P<0.05). HE staining showed serious morphological damage. Conclusion PI3K/Akt signaling pathway plays an important role in early brain injury after SAH in rats;early stimulation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway activation can alleviate early brain injury after SAH, and the mechanism may be related to regulation of axonal injury in white matter after SAH.

Objective:To evaluate a new imaging sign, named" bilateral water sign" (BWS), which can evaluate the neurovascular compression of primary trigeminal neuralgia (TN).Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 85 primary TN patients admitted to our hospital from March 2017 to March 2019. All patients accepted magnetic resonance 3D-T2W-DRIVEN sequence examination and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) for post-processing. The sequential nerve (low signal)-cerebrospinal fluid (high signal)-vessel (low signal)-cerebrospinal fluid (high signal)-nerve (low signal) signs on the recombination plane were named as "BWS". The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of BWS in evaluating the neurovascular compression were calculated respectively, by combining with intraoperative situation of microvascular decompression (MVD).Results:In 85 TN patients, 46 patients (54.12%) had BWS. The sensitivity was 57.14%, the specificity was 75.00%, the positive predictive value was 95.65% and the negative predictive value was 15.38%. There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of neurovascular compression between patients with and without BWS ( P<0.05); and degree of neurovascular compression was severer in patients with BWS. Conclusion:BWS can evaluate the relation of neurovascular compression in TN patients and suggest the degree of neurovascular compression.
