BACKGROUND: Researches indicate that interleukin-6 (IL-6) in blood has changed during the process of the edema and infection of spinal cord.It is found that IL-6 participates in the course of spinal cord lesion according to the further researches. It is also presumed that the IL-6 is correlated with the edema of spinal cord accompanied nervous system diseases.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of the receptor antagonist of the IL-6 on the traumatic edema of spinal cord, and explore the effect of IL-6 in the process of the edema of spinal cord.DESIGN: Randomized control experiment with animals as subjects.SETTING: Department of Orthopedic, Hospital Affiliated to Guangdong Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed from January to December 2004 in the Animal Experimental Center of Guangdong Medical College.Forty male Wistar rats were selected and randomly divided into the normal group, the wound group, the saline control group and the receptor antagonist of the IL-6 treated group with 10 rats in each group.METHODS: ① The receptor antagonist of the IL-6 treated group: Blast injury of the thoracic spinal cord was made by the sap pressure, and the injection with the receptor antagonist of the IL-6 was given at the injured region with microinjector. ② The wound group: There was not the procedure of administration and placement of the tube. ③ The saline control group: The IL-6 was replaced with the sterile-physiological saline solution (SPSS), and the other procedures were the same as those of the receptor antagonist of the IL-6 treated group. ④ The normal group: There was not any treatment. All rats in each group were detected with magnetic resonance. The water content in the spinal cord was determined with the dry and humid weight method, and the status of the edema of spinal cord was observed with the electron microscope and the pathological image analysis after dyeing with hematine-eosine.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The results of the examination of the rats in each group with the magnetic resonance. ② The water content in the spinal cord of rats in each group. ③ The status of the edema of spinal cord was observed with the electron microscope and the pathological image analysis.RESULTS: All the 40 rats entered the result analysis. ① The edema of the T2 w eighting image in the receptor antagonist of the IL-6 treated group was relieved as compared with that in the wound group and the saline control group. ② The water content of the injured region in the receptor antagonist of the IL-6 treated group, the wound group and the saline control group was higher than that in the normal group [ (81.68±1.39)%, (79.72±1.49)%, (82.59±1.12)%, (77.19±0.64)% ,P ＜ 0.01].The water content of the injured region in the wound group was higher than that in the normal group(P ＜ 0.01), and the receptor antagonist of the IL-6 treated group was lower than that of the wound group (P ＜ 0.01). ③The cell body of the gray substance was contracted, the inter-space around the cell was enlarged and the nerve cells were lost in the wound group;The saline control group was not significantly different as compared with the wound group; The cellular edema, degeneration and the necrosis in the receptor antagonist of the IL-6 treated group was milder than that in the wound group.CONCLUSION: The receptor antagonist of the IL-6 has the therapeutical effect on the traumatic edema of spinal cord. The endogenous IL-6 participates in the development of the traumatic edema of spinal cord.

Objective To research the clinical significance of acetated Ringer solution and succinylated gelatin in the fluid resuscitation of sepsis patients.Method Fifty-nine sepsis patients were divided into two groups:lactic acid Ringer solution and hetastarch (group A,27 cases)and acetated Ringer solution and suecinylated gelatin (group B,32 cases),compared the fluid resuscitation and other parameter.Results There were no significant difference in the central venous pressure,mean arterial pressure and the dose of noradrenaline (P ＞ 0.05).The activated partial thrombeplastin time in group A was longer than that in group B[(58±10),(74±13)s vs(48±7),(54 ±11) s in 6,24 hours],fibrinogen concentration was lower than that in group B [(3.3 ±0.8),(1.6±0.3)g/L vs (4.2±1.1),(2.1±0.2)g/L in 6,24 hours] (P＜0.05).Serum lactic acid,creatinine,calcium concentration in group A [(6.9±0.8)retool/L,(289 ~ 27)μ mol/L,(2.1 ±0.3)mmol/L]were higher than those in group B [(3.2 ±1.1)mmol/L, (193 ±42)μmol/L, (1.7±0.2)mmol/L](P＜0.05),there was no difference in APACHE Ⅲ scores on the third day between two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions Acetated Ringer solution and succinylated gelatin in the fluid resuscitation of sepsis patients has the same effect,but fewer impacts on serum coagulation,serum lactic acid and renal function than lactic acid Ringer solution and hetastareh.They may be more suitable for fluid resuscitation of sepsis patients,but hypecalcemia is easy to happen,and there is no significant evidences proving the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of reformative ventilation method (head-high leg-low 30°-declivate prone position ) in the ventilation of acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS ) patients, and compared with normal prone position ventilation. Methods Forty-four patients of ARDS underwent ventilation were divided into prone position group (22 cases) and reformative prone position group (22cases) by random digits talle. Continuous 30° semireclining position was kept in normal time. The patients of the two groups underwent different prone position ventilation 4 hours every day,and indexes of hemodynamics and respiration before,during and after prone position ventilation were recorded and analyzed. Results After prone position ventilation, oxygenation index of two groups improved similarly (P ＞ 0.05 ). In prone position group, lung compliance decreased [2 h, ( 25.6 ± 5.8 ) ml/cm H2O ( 1 cm H2O = 0.098 kPa) vs. ( 37.2 ± 20.5 )ml/cm H2O] ,average airway pressure increased [2 h, ( 18.5 ± 3.9) cm H2O vs. ( 15.6 ± 5.3 )cm H2O] ,heart rate increased [2 h, ( 112.0 ± 16.2 ) beats/min vs. ( 102.0 ± 11.3 ) beats/min], mean arterial blood pressure decreased [2 h, (86.0 ± 6.7) mm Hg ( 1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (93.5 ± 7.5 ) mm Hg] ,central venous pressure increased[2 h, ( 15.5 ± 3.3 ) cm H2O vs. ( 12.6 ± 4.3 ) cm H2O]. These changes persistently existed during prone position ventilation (P ＜ 0.05 ),and they disappeared in 1 hour when recovered to 30 °semireclining position. Conclusion Reformative prone position ventilation not only has same effect on improving oxygenation index, but also obviates adverse effect on lung compliance and hemodynamics.

Objective To evaluate the effects and side effects of three different recruitment maneuvers (RM) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by extrapulmonary disease.Methods Forty-four patients of extrapulmonary ARDS, according to crossover design methods, were undergone three RM in different periods, including sustained inflation (SI), increase progressively positive end expiratory pressure (IP), pressure control ventilation (PCV). Heart rate (HR), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), oxygenation index, lung compliance were recorded before and after RM, and were analyzed for statistical analysis. Results Oxygenation index and lung compliance were increased obviously in a short time after RM, improvement of IP method were better more obviously than the other two methods [1 h oxygenation index after RM:227 ± 42 vs 190 ± 19,186 ± 21; lung compliance:(59.4±12.5 ) ml/cm H2O(1 cm H2O = 0.098 kPa) vs (50.1 ± 9.3 ), (49.7 ± 10.6) ml/cm H2O;P＜ 0.05], 2h after RM,there were no statistical difference among the three methods (P＞0.05). After RM,HR and CVPwere increased, MAP was decreased in a short time, changes of SI method were smaller than the other two inethods [10 min HR after RM: (94.0±10.3 ) beats/min vs (116.0 ± 14.8 ), ( 107.0 ± 5.7 ) beats/min; CVP:(13.7±3.1 )cm H2O vs ( 18.4 ± 6.7 ), ( 15.4 ± 2.7 )cm H2O; MAP: ( 87.0 ± 12.1 ) mm Hg( 1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) vs (73.0 ± 4.8), (81.0 ± 6.6) mm Hg;P＜ 0.05), 20 min after RM, there were no statistical difference among the three methods (P＞ 0.05). Conclusion When extrapulmonary ARDS undergo RM ,IP method is the most effective on increasing oxygenation index and lung compliance, SI method has the smallest side effect on hemodynamics.

Objective To explore the risk factors in the prognosis of patients with severe multiple trauma related factors.Methods Ninety-three patients with severe multiple trauma(ISS score≥16 points) were selected as our subjects,who all hospitalized in the second hospital affiliated to Dalian medical University.Among of which,38 cases' ISS score was 16-25,and 55 cases' ISS score was higher and equal to 25.Clinical data and general information were recorded.ISS score,APACHE Ⅱ score and 6 h lactate clearance rate score were measured.Results Twenty-seven dead among these 93 cases and the mortality was 29.03％.There were significant differences in terms of ISS score,APACHE Ⅱ score,lactate level when entering ICU,6 h lactate level and 6 h lactate clearance rate between death patients (27 cases) and survival patients (66 cases) (t =9.846,9.812,7.112,7.012,9.831 ; P ＜ 0.001).In multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) patients,the mortality of ISS score:16-25 group was different from that of ISS score≥25 (15.78％ (6/38) vs.35.18％ (21/93),x2 =21.52,P ＜0.001).Among the 93 cases of severe multiple trauma,35 cases with MODS(37.6％ (35/93)),and 20 cases of which were dead(57.1％ (20/35)).There was statistic difference between MODS group(35 cases) and non-MODS(58 cases) in term of mortality(37.6％ (35/93) vs.12.1％ (7/58) ;x2 =21.52,P ＜ 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the ISS score,APACHE Ⅱ score,6 h lactate clearance rate and MODS were independently prognostic correlation factors (P ＜ 0.05).Operating characteristic curve (ROC) showed that AUC of ISS score was 0.735 (95 ％ CI 0.629-0.842),of APACHE Ⅱ score was 0.888 (95％ CI 0.821 =0.956),of 6 h lactate clearance rate score was 0.951 (95％ CI 0.906 -0.997).Conclusion The factors of ISS score,APPCHE Ⅱ assessment,6 h lactate clearance rate,the occurrence of MODS are independent prognostic factors.

Objective: When the region of interest is somewhere in the middle of the volumetric data, it will be occluded by other regions of the volumetric data and will be hard to see in the reconstruction of volume rendering. In order to provide doctor with comprehensive, visual and accurate diagnostic information, fast volume dipping of medical images on GPU is proposed in the paper. Methods: The rapid volume clipping is achieved by combining the dipping algorithm with the fast volume rendering algorithm based on GPU. The technique is based on fast volume tendering of medical images on GPU. It works as follows: The space information of the section plane is sent to the shader. Then compare the position of the volume data sets with the section plane to decide whether the data is clipped or not. Our algorithm is different from the algorithm that clipping based on depth stencil. We can see the result that reconstructed from the data sets that remained from any position as long as the section plane is defined. Results: According to the shape the users defined, our algorithm can decide which parts of the volume have to be clipped. Because of using the general graphics hardware acecleration, the proposed method achieves interactive display rate. Conclusions: The experiment shows that the algorithm is significantly fast and can meet the requirements of real-time interactive rendering on the premise of ensuring imaging quality and can be used in surgery simulation and so on.
