Oral fluid resuscitation in early period of hypovolemic shock is an important measure in the treatment of casualties in the battlefield as well as in mass casualties in lieu of the means of establishing a venous line. The main tasks in the study of oral rehydration resuscitation are the proposition of appropriate prescriptions of the liquids to be given and methods of administration on the basis of a clear elucidation of the mechanism underlying the function of the digestive system in regard to transportation and absorption of the given ingredients. The aim of the study is to fully replenish maximal amount of fluid containing glucose and electrolytes in a convenient, expeditious, and effective way in a minimal span of time, in order to increase circulating blood volume. At the same time, ischemia and tolerance to oral fluids of the gastro-intestinal tract should be improved, electrolyte imbalance and incidence of secondary infection should be alleviated, and finally hypovolemic shock is corrected, so that the victim is kept alive and prepared for further definitive surgical intervention.

Objective To study the epidemic characteristics of falls among older female adults.Methods Stratified random sampling was applied in this study.Totally 969 elderly female adults aged 60 years and over from communities of Changning district were recruited and self-designed questionnaire was used in survey.Results Among 969 interviewees,238 (24.6％) had an injury in the past years,and 4.7％ had more than one fall.Among those who fell in the past year,84.5％ had suffered from different kinds of fall-related injury with injury incidence of 20.7 ％,and 32.4 ％ suffered from fracture with the fracture rate of 7.9％.There was a significant difference in fall incidence between different age groups,and the incidence increased with aging (x2 =30.26,P＜0.01).After a fall,71.6％ cases needed certain medical service,and 11.8％ were hospitalized for treatment.Among those suffered from fall-related injury,the activities of 29.3％ patients were decreased,and 3.0％ lost the ability to live independently.Most falls (31.2％) occurred at home.Among those,61.8％ of patients considered the reason of their falls was the interaction between intrinsic hazards and environmental hazards.Conclusions High incidence and severe consequence of fall appear among elderly female adults.More attention should be paid to this population.

Objective:To observe therapeutic effect of Fufang Cangzhu Decoction on senile obesity or overweight with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT).Methods:32 cases of senile obesity or overweight with IGT were treated by Fufang Cangzhu Decoction and 32 cases by dimethyldiguanide as controls.Changes of body weight,waist circumference,hip circumference,waist hip circumference ratio(WHR),glucose tolerance,fast serum insulin and blood lipid before and after treatment were compared.Results:After treatment,body weight,waist circumfereince,hip circumference and WHR,glucose tolerance,blood glucose and fast serum insulin ,blood lipids in the Fufang Cangzhu Decoction treatment group decreased significantly(P0.05).Conclusion:Fufang Cangzhu Decoction can obviously decrease body weight,waist circumference,hip circumference and WHR,blood glucose,fast serum insulin,blood lipids in the senile patient of obesity or overweight with abnormal glucose tolerance.

The effects of 3, 4-Dihydroxyacetophenone (3, 4-DHAP) on cytosolic free calcium [Ca2+]i in pulmonary artery endothelia (PAECs) and smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) during acute hypoxia were studied. Porcine pulmonary artery endothelial and smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were cultured primarily, and they were divided into 4 groups: groups incubated under normoxia or hypoxia and those with or without treatment with 3,4-DHAP. The [Ca2+]i of both PAECs and PASMCs was measured by determining the fluorescence of fura 2 AM on spetrofluorometer. Our results showed that hypoxia caused significant elevation of [Ca2+]i, in both PAECs and PASMCs, 3,4-DHAP could attenuate the hypoxic elevation of [Ca2+]i only in PASMCs but not in PAECs. It is concluded that 3,4-DHAP decreases the hypoxic elevation of [Ca2+]i in PASMCs. This might contribute to its inhibitory effect on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Objective To investigate the changes of enteric nervous system in gastrointestinal motility disorder in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) as well as the influence of Chaishao Chengqi Decoction on neuronal nitric oxide synthase neuron (nNOS) neuron expression in myenteric plexus of rat intestinal tract. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (10 for each): sham operation group, model group and Chaishao Chengqi Decoction (CSCQD) group. SAP model was established in taurocholate into the junction of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. Model group was administered with normal saline and CSCQD group was administered with Chaishao Chengqi Decoction. The gastrointestinal transmission time was observed. Pathological changes of the pancreas were examined with HE staining under light microscope. The neuronal nitric oxide synthase neurons in the small intestines and colonic myenteric plexus were detected by the dual immunofluorescent staining. Results Compared with that in model group, transmission index was increased in CSCQD group (P<0.05). The pathological lesion of the pancreas in CSCQD group was significantly lessened (P<0.05). The percentage of NOS-immunoreactive neurons was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion By reversing the plasticity of NOS-immunoreactive neurons, Chaishao Chengqi Decoction improves the gastrointestinal motility in rats with SAP and reduces the pathological damages of the pancreas.

AIM and METHODS: To determine the role of different K +-channels in attenuation of vasoreactivity of intrapulminary artery rings induced by chronic hypoxia. RESULTS: ①Acute hypoxia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction(HPV) could be significantly attenuated by chronic hypobaric hypoxia for 15 days and for 30 days. ②HPV could be significantly potentiated by ATP-sensitive K +-channel (K ATP ) blocker or Ca 2+ -activated K +-channel (K Ca )blocker, and the potentiated scope in chronic hypoxic group was much higher than that observed in control group. ③ Delayed rectifier K +-channel (K DR )blocker showed no effect on HPV in both control group and chronic hypoxic group.CONCLUSIONS: Both K ATP and K Ca play an important modulating role in HPV and it's potentiation may be a critical mechanism for the attenuated vasoreactivity to acute hypoxia; following chronic hypobaric hypoxia.
