Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2010;17(4):364-366
Seat belts and air bags are all designed according to adult, so which used by children will only increase their injury. Children who sitting in the front row do not use any restraint devices have the highest risk in the car accident,but who sat in the back with the appropriate child restraint devices only have the low risk. Education for families and parents that is basics of implementing legislation and promoting child restraint devices, but which need to integrate other method or means of effective intervention is possible. Legislation is one of the most powerful tool to prevent child passenger injury, but how to implement and enforce these laws are more important in developing countries.
2.The role of autophagy in neuronal ischemic injury and its relationship with apoptosis and necrosis
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2016;25(6):843-846
Ischemic stroke is the major cause of disability and death.Although autophagy is widely involved in the process of acute brain ischemia,the exact role of autophagy is still unclear.As autophagy is a double-edged sword,its protect or damage impact mainly depends on the degree of phagocytosis.In general,moderate phagocytosis can effectively remove excess metabolites,aging organelles,etc;whereas the excessive autophagy is vulnerable to autophagy-like cell death by virture of the normal intracellular organelles and materials degraded by lysosome.In conclusion,this review focuses on the following two points:1.What's the role of autophagy in the ischemic brain injury——protective or damage 2.How does autophagy interact with apoptosis and necrosis.

Objective To investigate the value of N-termind pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-pro-BNP)in differential diagnosis of dyspnea in emergency department, and to investigate the rapid diagnosis cutoff of dyspnea due to acute congestive heart failure. Methods Ninety. one cases of dyspnea in emergency department recruited from January to June ,2008 were divided into two groups: acute cardiac dyspnea group and none acute cardiac dyspnea group. To evaluate the value of different parameters in differential diagnosis of dyspnea in emergency department and analysis the area under the receiver-operating characteristic of different parameters for the diagnosis of acute cardiac dyspnea. To achieve the best cutoff of different parameters for the diagnosis of dyspnea due to acute congestive heart failure finally. Results Among two groups, NT-pro-BNP (acute cardiac dyspnea vs. none acute cardiac dyspnea,6203.50 ng/L vs. 1410.00 ng/L,P < 0.01), Troponin Ⅰ (acute cardiac dyspnea vs. none acute cardiac dyspnea,0.12 μg/L vs. 0.03 μg/L,P <0.01) ,left ventricular ejection fraction(acute cardiac dyspnea vs. none acute cardiac dyspnea,46.25% vs. 65.60%, P < 0.01), left atrial diameter (acute cardiac dyspnea vs. none acute cardiac dyspnea,42.75 mm vs. 36.00 mm,P <0.01) had significant difference. NT-pro-BNP at cutoff of ≥3715 ng/L was highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of acute cardiac dyspnea. Receiver-operating characteristic analyses demonstrated that NT-pro-BNP and left ventricular ejection fraction was the best diagnostic indices of acute cardiac dyspnea. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of Nt-pro-BNP was 0.828 ± 0.045 (P < 0.01),and left ventricular ejection fraction was 0.829 ± 0.049 (P < 0.01). Correlation analysis showed that NT-pro-BNP was correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (P < 0.01). The combined test of NT-pro-BNP and left ventricular ejection fraction was performed. Specificity increased to 96.50%, total consistent rate increased to 83.50% ,positive predictive value increased to 91.30%, positive likelihood ratio 17.60, faulse diagnostic rate decreased to 3.50%. Conclusions NT-pro-BNP examination in emergency department was helpful to rapid differential diagnosis of dyspnea. It helped to differentiate the patients with acute congestive heart failure and none acute congestive heart failure causes of dyspnea.
