Objective　To compare the predictive value of Glasgow coma scale (GCS), revised trauma score (RTS) and acute phsiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHEⅡ) system on head injury prognosis, and selectscoring systems apt to predicting prognosis of the head injury. 　Methods　The data of 116 case of head injury were reviewed. The correlation between the score of GCS, RTS, or APACHEⅡ and the patients' prognosis was determined by Spearman rank relation test on admission. Then, the logistic regression analysis was administered, in which GOS I～Ⅲ in half year were regarded as risk event. The independent predictive varieties were determined from following varieties: GCS, systolic pressure, respiratory rate, age, and chronic health condition. 　Results　GCS, RTS and APACHEⅡ were significantly related with the prognosis (r=0.660,0.676 and -0.578, respectively). GCS and age were independent predictive indexes. 　Conclusions　RTS system doesn't show the superiority to GCS system. The predictive accuracy may improve if GCS system is appropriately combined with APACHEⅡ system.

We studied the effects of the selective thromboxane synthetase inhibitor, dazoxiben (UK-37 248), on the reperfusion arrhythmias induced by ischemia-reperfusion in rats. The results indicated that the administration of dazoxiben (2.5 mg/kg i.v.) 15 min prior to coronary occlusion significantly decreased the incidence of ventricular fibrillation induced by 5 inin ischemia and reperfusion from 11/13 in control to 4/13 in drug-treated (P

Intra-atrial re-entrant tachycardias (IARTs) are common late after heart surgery. Conventional mapping and ablation is relatively difficult because of the complicated anatomy and multiple potential re-entry loops. In this study we aimed to evaluate the electrophysiological characteristics and radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial tachycardia (AT) induced by myocardial scar or incision. Methods In 6 patients (three male and three female, aged 33.3+ 11.8 years) who had AT related to myocardial scar or incision,electrophysiological study and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) were performed. Earliest activation combined with entrainment mapping was adopted to determine a critical isthmus. Results Re-entry related to the lateral atriotomy scar was inducible in 5 of6 patients. With entrainment mapping, the PPI (post-pacing interval)-TCL (tachycardia cycle length) difference was ＜30 ms when pacing at the inferior margins of the right lateral atriotomy scar. Among them, 3 patients had successful linear ablation between scar area to inferior vena cava, and 2 patients between scar area to tricuspid annulus. Re-entry involving an ASD patch was demonstrated in 1 of 6 patients. PPI-TCL differences ＜30 ms were observed when entraining tachycardia at sites near the septal patch. But linear ablation failed in terminating AT. There was no complication during procedure. No recurrence of AT related to incision was observed during follow-up except for the failed patient. Conclusion Under conventional electrophysiological mapping, adopting linear ablation from scar area to anatomic barrier, successful ablation can be obtained in patients with IRATs related to myocardial scar or incision.

BACKGROUND: The activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex axis may play key role in the increasing expression of hypothalamic corticotropin-re-leasing hormone (CRH) during stress reaction. However by what way to induce the CRH expression in hypothalamic neuron, and whether CRH can activate hypothalamic neurons are still not very clear.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration in the hypothalamic neurons cultured in vitro due to exogenous CRH stimulation.DESIGN: Comparative observation experiment.SETTING: Research Institute of Surgery, Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA; Department of Neurosurgery , Tiantan Hospital, Capital University of Medical Sciences MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in the Research Institute of Surgery, Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between December 1999 and March 2002. Hypothalamus was obtained from fetus rat at pregnancy of 17 days for the in vitro culture of hypothalamic neurons.METHODS: Hypothalamic neurons were co-cultured with exogenous CRH,with or without pretreatment with specific CRH 1 receptor antagonist -CP-154526. hypothalamic neurons were randomized into: ① CRH (10-12,10-10, 10-8, 10-6 mol/L) stimulation group. ② CP-154526(500 μmol/L)pretreatment aud CRH ( 10-12, 10-10, 10-8,10-6 mol/L) stimulation group. ③Hypothalamic neurons in corresponding normal control group were exposed to the isotonic saline stimulation. PTI fluorescence image system was used to determine and analyze the change of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration in hypothalamic neurons due to exogenous CRH stimulation and RIA was used to detect the neuronal cAMP content.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration in hypothalamic neurons. ②cAMP content in hypothalamic neurons.RESULTS: The cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration and cAMP content were relatively lower in the hypothalamic neurons in normal control group,which obviously increased due to CRH stimulation [(240±22),(153±11)nmol/L; (3.26±0.19),(0.44±0.02) pmol/dish,P ＜ 0.01];CP-154526 could remarkably suppress the CRH (10-6 mol/L)induced increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration and cAMP content in hypothalamic neurons [Ca2+ concentration: (240±22),(171±16)nmol/L; cAMP content:(3.26±0.19), (2.33±0.21) pmol/dish, P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: CRH can directly act on hypothalamic neurons via type 1-receptor,thereby increase the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration and cAMP content in hypothalamic neurons,playing the key role in the modulation of the synthesis and secretion of CRH during the activation of hypothalamic neurons.

BACKGROUND: Through what signal pathway does corticotropin release hormone (CRH) regulate hypothalamic neuronal neuroendocrine activity during acute stress?OBJECTIVE: To probe into the regulatory effects of CRH on CREB secretion in hypothalamic neurons.DESIGN: Repetitive measurement design.SETTING: At Field Surgery Research Institute of Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA; Neurosurgery Department,Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to the Capital University of Medical Sciences.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in Daping Hospital of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between December 1999and March 2002. Rat fetuses were selected from Wister rats of 17-day gestation.METHODS: In vitro cultured cells were divided into the following groups:① CRH (10-12, 10-10, 10-8 and 10-6 mol/L) stimulation groups. ② Pretreated with nimodipine (5 μmol/L) or CP-154526 (500 μmol/L) followed by CRH (10-12, 10-10, 10-8 and 10-6 mol/L ) stimulation groups. ③ Corresponding control groups stimulated with isotonic physiological saline. PTI fluorescence imaging system was used to detect the changes of neuronal cytoplasmic free calcium concentration; meanwhile, Western blot technique was used to determine the changes of neuronal P-CREB content.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Changes of neuronal cytoplasmic free calcium concentration. ② Changes of neuronal P-CREB content.RESULTS: The content of cytoplasmic free calcium in hypothalamic neurons was lower in normal control group, and it increased immediately after exogenous CRH stimulation. However, such increase could be suppressed by pretreatment with nimodipine or CP-154526 before CRH stimulation,and the increase of neuronal P-CREB content was also obviously suppressed.CONCLUSION: During acute stress, the combination of CRH with hypothalamic neuronal CRH 1 receptor leads to the opening of membrane Ltype calcium ions channels, thus enhancing the influx of calcium ions and increasing cytoplasmic free calcium ions content, which would further activate P-CREB signal transduction pathway in neurons. It suggests that CRH may play a vital role in hypothalamic neuronal activation.

Objective To analyze the epidemiologieal features and treatment of brain injury in Chinese Wenchuan earthquake so as to provide the experiences for improving treatment level. Methods A total of 685 patients with earthquake-induced brain injury in the City of Deyang were collected to ana-lyze age, injury type, injury localization and treatment characteristics. Results Of large number of earthquake victims, the number of the patients with brain injury ranked the second place, mainly minor and moderate brain injuries involving scalp laceration for the most and skull fracture and extradural hema-toma for the next. As for the age distribution of the patients, young and middie-aged patients accounted for the most, for they were at school or at work when the earthquake happened. Obvious position distribu-tion features were found in depressed fracture of skull and extredural hematoma but not in the scalp lacera-tion. Depressed fracture of skull occurred mostly at forehead and occiput while extradural hematoma could be most seen at froutotemple. Most brain injuries were combined with other injuries. Mainly extremity and pelvic fractures. Conclusions Self-protection sense and measures during earthquake are very important for decreasing incidence and severity of brain injuries. The management of rospimtory tract in prehospital care should be strengthened to avoid asphyxia and hence raise the success rate of treatment.

Objective:　To investigate the effects of nimodipine on changes of endothelin after head injury. 　　Methods:　Sixty-five adult rabbits were randomized into an injury group (IG, n=30), a nimodipine-treatment group (NTG, n=30) and a control group (CG, n=5). With their heads unfixed, the animals in IG and NTG were injured in the frontal-parietal zone with BIM-II bioimpact. Blood samples and brain tissue were collected before and after injury. The endothelin level was measured with RIA. 　　Results:　The endothelin level in plasma and brain tissue was significantly increased 24 hours after injury. At the 8th or/and 24th hours postinjury, the endothelin level was significantly lower in NTG than that in IG. 　　Conclusions:　Nimodipine can prevent endothelin from elevation and act as a practical endothelin antagonist after head injury clinically.

Objective To analyze the rule of lymph node metastasis in thoracic esophageal carcinoma,and to study the proper radiation target. Methods From September 1986 to December 1997,549 patients with esophageal carcinoma who had undergone radical reseetion were divided into surgery alone group (S,275 patients) or surgery plus radiotherapy group( S + R,274 patients). Radiotherapy was begun 3 to 4 weeks after operation. The radiation target included beth supra-clavicular areas and the entire mediastinum. The total dose was 50 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks for the supra-clavicular areas and 60 Gy in 30 fractions over 6 weeks for the entire mediastinum. Results The 5-year overall survival of patients with lymph node metastasis in one anatomic site and two anatomic sites was 31.5% and 13.9% (P=0.013), respectively. For patients with > 2 positive nodes metastasis receiving surgery alone, the corresponding 5-year survival was 24.8% and 4.9% (P=0.046) ,respectively. The median number of dissected lymph nodes of the upper-,middle-and lower-segment esophageal carcinoma was 13,17 and 20, respectively. The rate of metastatic lymph node in the para-esophagus region was the highest(61.5%-64.9%) ,which was not different among the different primary sites(P=0.922). The anastomotic stoma recurrence rate of the upper-segment esophageal carcinoma was higher than that of the middle- or lower-segment carcinomas(16.7% ,3.1% ,and 7.7%, χ2=9.02,P<0.05). Conclusions For the thoracic esophageal carcinoma,the number of anatomic sites of lymph node metastasis is an important factor affecting the survival. The lower rate of lymph node metastasis of the upper segment esophageal carcinoma may be corrected with the less lymph node dissected. The rate of lymph node metastasis in para-esophageal region is not related with the lesion segment. The anastemotie stoma is an important radiotherapy target for upper segment esophageal carcinoma.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and prognoses of primary Waldeyer's ring diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma ( ENKTCL).MethodsFrom 2000 to 2008,122 patients with primary Waldeyer's ring DLBCL and 44 patients with primary Waldeyer' s ring ENKTCL consecutively diagnosed were retrospectively compared.Patients with DLBCL usually received 4-6 cycles of CHOP-based chemotherapy followed by involved-field radiotherapy.Patients with early stage ENKTCL usually received extended-field radiotherapy with or without subsequent chemotherapy,or short courses ( 1 - 3 cycles ) of chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy.Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.Logrank method was used for univariate analysis.ResultsThe follow-up rate was 82％.The number of patients followed 5 years were 32 and 15 in DLBCL and ENKTCL.DLBCL mainly presented with stage Ⅱ tonsillar disease with regional lymph node involvement.ENKTCL occurred predominately in young males,as nasopharyngeal stage I disease with B symptoms and involving adjacent structures.The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 74％ and 67％ in DLBCL,and 68％ and 59％ in ENKTCL (x2=0.53,1.06,P=0.468,0.303),respectively.In stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ diseases,the 5-year OS and PFS rates were 79％ and 76％ for DLBCL compared to 72％ and 62％ for ENKTCL (x2 =1.20,2.46,P=0.273,0.117).On univariate analysis,age ＞ 60 years,elevated lactate dehydrogenase,eastern cooperative oncology group performance status ＞ 1,international prognosis index ( IPI ) score ≥ 1,stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ diseases and bulky disease were associated with unfavorable survival for DLBCL (x2=9.40,12.72,6.15,10.36,12.48,5.53,P=0.002,0.000,0.013,0.001,0.000,0.019),and only age＞60 years and IPI score ≥ 1 were associated with poor survival for ENKTCL (x2 =3.98,8.41,P =0.046,0.004).ConclusionsThese results indicate that remarkable clinical disparities exist between DLBCL and ENKTCL in Waldeyer's ring. Different treatment strategies for each can result in similarly favorable prognoses.

Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview. Patients were followed up once every 3?6 months during neoadjuvant therapy and once every 6?12 months after radical surgery to detect tumor recurrence and survival of patient up to April 2022. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves and calculate survival rates. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. The COX regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Propensity score matching was done by the 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method, and the matching tolerance was 0.02. Results:(1) Neoadjuvant therapy. Of the 741 patients, 34 cases received neoadjuvant therapy for 8(range, 3?44)months. Cases assessed as partial response, stable disease and progressive disease before the radical surgery of the 34 cases were 21, 9, 4, respectively. The tumor diameter of the 34 patients before the neoadjuvant therapy and before the radical surgery were 8.0(range, 3.0?26.0)cm and 5.3(range, 3.0?18.0)cm, with the regression rate as 31.9%(range, ?166.7% to 58.3%). (2) Surgical and postoperative situations. Of the 741 patients, 34 cases underwent radical surgery after receiving neoadjuvant therapy, and 707 cases underwent radical surgery directly. All the 741 patients underwent radical surgery successfully, in which 633, 102 and 6 cases received open surgery, laparoscopic surgery and endoscopic treatment, respectively. Of the 633 cases receiving open surgery and the 102 cases receiving laparoscopic surgery, cases with surgical resection range as pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) was 238, and cases with surgical resection range as duodenal limited resection, including duodenal wedge resection, distal gastrectomy, segmental duodenal resection, local resection of duodenal tumor or segmental duodenum combined with subtotal gastrectomy, was 497, 226, 55, 204, 12. Of the 741 patients, 131 cases had post-operative complications including 113 cases with grade Ⅰ?Ⅱ complications and 18 cases with ≥ grade Ⅲ complications of the Clavien-Dindo classification. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 741 patients was 13(range, 4?120)days. Of the 707 patients receiving direct radical surgery, 371 cases were evaluated as extremely low risk, low risk, medium risk of the modified National Institutes of Health (NIH) risk classification after surgery, and 336 cases were evaluated as high risk in which 205 cases receive postoperative adjuvant imatinib therapy with the treatment time as 24(range, 6?110)months. (3) Follow-up. All the 741 patients were followed up for 58(range, 7?150)months. During the follow-up, 110 patients had tumor recurrence and metastasis. The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates and 1-, 3-, 5-year disease-free survival rates of the 741 patients were 100.0%, 98.6%, 94.5% and 98.4%, 90.9%, 84.9%, respectively. The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates and 1-, 3-, 5-year disease-free survival rates of the 707 patients receiving direct radical surgery were 100.0%, 98.5%, 94.3% and 98.4%, 91.1%, 85.4%, respectively. (4) Stratified analysis. ① Analysis of prognostic factors in patients undergoing radical surgery directly. Results of univariate analysis showed that primary tumor location, tumor diameter, mitotic count, modified NIH risk classification and tumor gene information were related factors affecting the overall survival of 707 patients with primary duodenal GIST who underwent direct radical surgery ( hazard ratio=0.43, 0.18, 0.22, 0.06, 0.29, 95% confidence intervals as 0.20?0.93, 0.09?0.35, 0.10?0.50, 0.03?0.12, 0.09?0.95, P<0.05). The primary tumor location, tumor diameter, mitotic count, modified NIH risk classification were related factors affecting the disease-free survival of 707 patients with primary duodenal GIST who underwent direct radical surgery ( hazard ratio=0.65, 0.25, 0.25, 0.10, 95% confidence intervals as 0.41?1.03, 0.17?0.37, 0.15?0.42, 0.07?0.15, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that primary tumor located at the horizontal segment of duodenum, mitotic count >5/50 high power field, tumor gene KIT exon 9 mutation were independent risk factors affecting the overall survival of 365 patients with primary duodenal GIST after removing 342 patients without tumor gene information who underwent direct radical surgery ( hazard ratio=2.85, 2.73, 3.13, 95% confidence intervals as 1.12?7.20, 1.07?6.94, 1.23?7.93, P<0.05). Tumor diameter >5 cm and mitotic count >5/50 high power field were independent risk factors affecting the disease-free survival of 707 patients with primary duodenal GIST who underwent direct radical surgery ( hazard ratio=3.19, 2.98, 95% confidence intervals as 2.05?4.97, 1.99?4.45, P<0.05). ② Effect of postoperative adjuvant therapy on prognosis of high-risk patients of modified NIH risk classification. Of the 336 patients evaluated as high risk of the modified NIH risk classification, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 94.6% and 77.3% in the 205 cases with postoperative adjuvant therapy, versus 83.2% and 64.4% in the 131 cases without postoperative adjuvant therapy, showing significant differences between them ( χ2=8.39, 4.44, P<0.05). Of the 205 patients evaluated as high risk of the modified NIH risk classification who received postoperative adjuvant therapy, there were 106 cases receiving postoperative adjuvant therapy <36 months, with the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 87.1% and 58.7%, and there were 99 cases receiving post-operative adjuvant therapy ≥36 months, with the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 100.0% and 91.5%. There were significant differences in the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate between the 106 patients and the 99 patients ( χ2=13.92, 29.61, P<0.05). ③ Comparison of clinical efficacy of patients with different surgical methods. Before propensity score matching, cases with primary tumor located at bulb, descending, horizontal, ascending segment of duodenum, cases with tumor diameter ≤5 cm and >5 cm were 95, 307, 147, 34, 331, 252, in the 583 patients receiving open surgery with complete clinical data, versus 15, 46, 17, 5, 67, 16 in the 83 patients receiving laparoscopic surgery with complete clinical data, showing no significant difference in the primary tumor location ( χ2=0.94, P>0.05), and a significant difference in the tumor diameter ( χ2=17.33, P<0.05) between them. After propensity score matching, the above indicator were 16, 39, 20, 8, 67, 16 in the 83 patients receiving open surgery, versus 15, 46, 17, 5, 67, 16 in the 83 patients receiving laparoscopic surgery, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=1.54, 0.00, P>0.05). Cases with postoperative complications, cases with grade Ⅰ?Ⅱ complica-tions and ≥grade Ⅲ complications of the Clavien-Dindo classification, duration of postoperative hospital stay, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 17, 12, 5, 11(range, 5?120)days, 92.0%, 100.0% in the 83 patients receiving open surgery, versus 9, 7, 2, 11(range, 5?41)days, 91.6%, 97.3% in the 83 patients receiving laparoscopic surgery, showing no signi-ficant difference in postoperative complications, duration of postoperative hospital stay, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate ( χ2=2.91, Z=3 365.50, χ2=3.02, 1.49, P>0.05) between them. There was no significant difference in complications of the Clavien-Dindo classification between them ( P>0.05). ④ Comparison of clinical efficacy of patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent surgery with different surgical resection scopes. Before propensity score matching, cases with tumor diameter ≤5 cm and >5 cm, cases with tumor located at opposite side of mesangium and mesangium were 71, 85, 28, 128 in the 156 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent PD with complete clinical data, versus 92, 41, 120, 13 in the 133 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent duodenal limited resection with complete clinical data, showing significant differences between them ( χ2=16.34, 150.10, P<0.05). After propensity score matching, the above indicator were 28, 13, 16, 25 in the 41 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent PD with complete clinical data, versus 28, 13, 16, 25 in the 41 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent duodenal limited resection with complete clinical data, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.00, 0.00, P>0.05). Cases with postopera-tive complications, cases with grade Ⅰ?Ⅱ complications and ≥grade Ⅲ compli-cations of the Clavien-Dindo classification, duration of postoperative hospital stay, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 13, 11, 2, 15(range, 9?62)days, 94.2%, 64.3% in the 41 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent PD with complete clinical data, versus 9, 8, 0, 15(range, 7?40)days, 100.0%, 78.8% in the 41 patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum who underwent duodenal limited resection with complete clinical data, showing no significant difference in post-operative complica-tions, the 5-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate ( χ2=0.99, 0.34, 1.86, P>0.05) between them. There was no significant difference in complications of the Clavien-Dindo classification ( P>0.05) and there was a significant difference in duration of postopera-tive hospital stay ( Z=614.50, P<0.05) between them. Conclusions:The clinical efficacy of radical surgery for duodenal GIST are ideal. Primary tumor located at the horizontal segment of duodenum, mitotic count >5/50 high power field, tumor gene KIT exon 9 mutation are independent risk factors affec-ting the overall survival of patients undergoing direct radical surgery and tumor diameter >5 cm and mitotic count >5/50 high power field are independent risk factors affecting the disease-free survival of patients. There is no significant difference in the short-term efficacy and long-term prognosis between patients undergoing open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. For patients with primary tumor located at the descending segment of duodenum, the duration of postoperative hospital stay is longer in patients undergoing PD compared with patients undergoing duodenal limited resection. For patients evaluated as high risk of the modified NIH risk classification, posto-perative adjuvant therapy and treatment time ≥36 months are conducive to improving the prognosis of patients.
