Many trauma victims occur in China every year, with a notably high mortality rate among those who suffered from multiple traumas such as severe traffic trauma. One of the main reasons is the defect of current trauma emergency system, in which the full-time trauma physician often lacks. It has therefore become urgent to establish a well-organized trauma emergency system with full-time physicians.

OBJECTIVETo observe the curative effect of Qianjin Kouchuang Jiawei Granule (QKJG) on recurrent oral ulceration [yin deficiency fire excess type (YDFET)].

METHODSTotally 120 patients who suffered from recurrent oral ulceration (YDFET) were randomly assigned to two groups, the experiment group and the control group, 60 in each group. Patients in the experiment group took QKJG, 20 g each time, twice per day, while those in the control group took Kouyanqing Granule (KG) , 20 g each time, twice per day. Fourteen days consisted of one therapeutic course, two for all. Scores for patients' symptoms and signs (ulcer area, exudation, hyperaemia, edema, the number of ulceration, burning sensation, and pain degrees) were assessed before treatment, at day 3 and 7 after treatment. Short-term efficacy was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). The total paralysis time and the total number of ulceration at month 12 after treatment were taken as judgment for long-term efficacy. Results Compared with before treatment in the same group, symptoms and signs were obviously improved at day 3 and 7 after treatment in the two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group at day 3 after treatment, the improvement of edema, exudation, pain degree, and burning sensation was more obvious in the experiment group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The improvement of edema, pain degree, and burning sensation at day 7 after treatment was more obvious in the experiment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). As for short-term efficacy, the total effective rate was 86.67% (52/60 cases) in the experiment group and 83.33% (50/60 cases) in the control group, with no statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). As for long-term efficacy, the total effective rate was 90.00% (54/60 cases) in the experiment group, significantly higher than that of the control group with statistical difference [81.67% (49/60 cases), P < 0.05]. At month 12 after treatment, the total number of ulceration was reduced and the paralysis time of ulcer attack prolonged in the experiment group, with statistical difference when compared with the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONQKJG showed better long-term efficacy than that of KG in treating recurrent oral ulceration (YDFET).

Objective　To assess the efficacy of sandostatin in preventing postoperative adhesions in rats. Methods　Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: Group 1, Control group; group 2, sandostatin 20μg/kg intraperitoneal injection (IP); group 3, sandostastin 40μg/kg IP; group 4, sandostatin 60μg/kg IP; group 5, hyaluronate sodium(HA) IP. All animal were killed on the 14th postoperative day. After adhesions were graded according to their severity, adhesive ileal segments were resected for hydroxyproline(OHP) determination. Results　The severity of adhesions in group 2.3.4 and 5 were significantly milder than that in group 1.(P<0.05). The OHP levels of adhensive intestine in group 2.3 and 4 were significantly lower than that in group 1 and 5 (P<0.05).The severity of adhesions and OHP levels in group 2.3 and 4 had no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions　Intraperitoneal administration of sandostatin intraoperatively might have some efficacy in preventing adhensions of intestine.

A young female complained repeated nasal discharge for over three months with discomfort of right cheek, and oral antibiotics had less effect. She has a history of "root canal therapy" five years before. Physical examination found purulent secretion in the right middle nasal meatus, and light tenderness in the right side of the maxillary sinus area. The CT scan of paranasal sinus shown possible fungal infection of right maxillary sinus. Finally the nasal endoscopic surgery confirmed the fungus ball of right maxillary sinus with foreign body (the root canal filling material).

BACKGROUND:Lumbar disc herniation is the most common cause of lumbago in clinic, which seriously affect the patient's daily life, study and work. Therefore, studies on biomechanics of lumbar intervertebral disk benefit to prevent and treat the diseases associated with lumbar intervertebral disk. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the biomechanical progress of lumbar intervertebral disk. METHODS: The first author retrieved China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed database for literatures published from 2009 to 2014. The key words were intervertebral disc, nucleus pulposus, biomechanics, fibrosis annulus, cartilage in Chinese and English, respectively. Articles regarding biomechanical characteristics of lumbar intervertebral disk, nucleus pulposus, fibrosis annulus and cartilage were included, and repetitive studies were excluded. Totaly 5 072 articles were retrieved initialy. In accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria, 41 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We can fuly understand the pathogenesis, development and adverse consequences of diseases related to the lumbar intervertebral disk by summarizing the structural features and internal pressure of lumbar intervertebral disk and the effect of different loads, biomechanical characteristics of lumbar intervertebral disk with degenerative changes and establishment of mechanical model of lumbar intervertebral disk. It is of directive significance for daily health care of the lumbar intervertebral disk and how to better use force, a physical factor, to solve the lumbar intervertebral disk problems.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of loneliness on the relationship between interpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction in college students.Methods:Totally 368 college students (176 males and 192 females )were surveyed with the College Student Adaptability (CSAI),University of Califomiaat Los Angels (UCLA)and Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI).Then AMOS18.0 was used to establish structural equation modeling (SEM)among interpersonal adaptation,loneliness and mobile phone addiction,and test the mediating effect of loneliness on the relationship between interpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction in college students.Results:The MPAI scores were significantly higher in the low interpersonal adaptation group (the score of CSAI less than 21 )than in the high interpersonal adaptation group (the score of CSAI higher than 32)(P<0.001).The scores of interpersonal adaptation were negatively correlated with scores of loneliness and mobilephone addiction (r =-0.71,-0.25,P﹤0.01).The scores of loneliness were positively correlated with scores ofmobile phone addiction (r =0.32,P ﹤ 0.01).College students'interpersonal adaptation did not have significantnegative predictability for mobile phone addiction (β=﹣0.08,P =0.32),but it had significant negative predictabilityfor loneliness (β=﹣0.71,P <0.001).Loneliness had significant positive predictability for mobile phone addiction(β=0.29,P <0.001).Conclusion:The results show loneliness completely plays a mediating effect betweeninterpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction.

Objective to investigate the application of the whole course case tracking method in continuous improvement of nursing quality of out-patient operation unit. Methods Administration frames were established for this project,such as monitoring group and executive group. the medi-cal treatment procedure and patients′experience were followed by referees. the results were quantified for statistical analysis. the problems were rec-ognized by priorities and rectification was correspondingly performed. Afterward,another group of patients were traced to evaluate the results of the rectification. We focus on those items of lower scores and undertook rectifications accordingly. Particularly,we optimized signs in outpatient unit, made pamphlets to clarify the procedures,and were cautious to provide more easy-to-understand informs. Results By the second round evaluate, these scores were effectively improved. Especially,the item of“clear informed consent”was statistically significant(P = 0.003).
