Objective To explore the role of fibrobronchoscopy in diagnosis and treatment of se- vere chest trauma. Methods A retrospective analysis was done on 114 patients with severe chest trau- ma who were diagnosed and treated by fibrobronchoscope from January 1999 to July 2007. We finished 289 times of fihrohronchoscopies including 181 times through nasal cavity, 32 through tracheal, 52 through oral cavity and 56 through traeheostomy tube. SaO2 and arterial blood gas were monitored continu- ously before and after operation, and respirator support or oxygen was administered simultaneously. Re- suits Definite diagnosis was achieved in all patients, of whom were 102 patients treated with lavement. SaO2 was significantly increased in all patients after bronchial lavement (P <0.01) and Pao2 was signifi- candy ameliorated two hours after bronchial lavement (P < 0.05). Conclusions Fibrobronchoscopy can identify diagnosis of bronchial injury and remove foreign body, secretion, blood and phlegm for pa- tients with severe chest trauma. Meanwhile, fibrohronchoscopy can relieve obstructive atelectasis and ob- structive pneumonia, improve respiratory function and hence increase survival rate.

Objective To explore the effects and significance of first-aid fast track in the treatment of severe trauma. Methods A retrospective study was done on 60 trauma patients (fast track group)treated by means of first-aid fast track from January 2006 to November 2007 to observe the effect of first-aid fast track. Another 46 trauma patients treated from January 2004 to December 2005 were used as control group. Results There was no statistical difference in aspects of sex, age, injury mechanism, ISS and blood loss in both groups (P >0.05). Two patients died in the first track group, with mortality rate of 3% ;while five patients died in the control group, with mortality rate of 11% ( P < 0.05 ). Compared with the control group, there was shorter time in emergency room care, special examination and interval from admission to operating room in fast track group ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion First-aid fast track can shorten the space and time in treatment of severe trauma, decrease the mortality rate, enhance success rate of treatment and hence guarantee chronergy and integrity of emergency trauma care.

Salsola collina is widely distributed in droughty and semi-droughty area, which is used as a kind of folk remedy in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of hypertension. The study is on the chemical constituents of this herb from its aerial parts to obtain its active constituents. Dried and crushed aerial parts of this herb were extracted three times with 95% EtOH at reflux. The ethanol extracts were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure at 70 ℃ to yield residue, which was suspended in water and successively partitioned with light petroleum, chloroform and n-butanol. The chloroform and n-butanol fractions were treated by various chromatographic techniques, such as silica gel, C18 reversed-phase silica gel and macroporous resin column chromatography. Compounds were elucidated by their physicochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis. In the course of our study on searching biological active components from this herb, a new alkaloid together with three known alkaloids were isolated and identified as N-transferuloyl-3-methyldopamine (1), 3-[4-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-3- methoxyphenyl]-N-[2-(4-hydroxyl-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-2-propenamide (2), salsoline A (3), salsoline B (4). Compound 4 is a new compound and named as salsoline B, while compound 2 was obtained in Salsola collina for the first time.

Objective To investigate the injury characteristic and the early remedy of the woun-ded in China Wenchuan earthquake. Methods rrhe study involved 1 420 patients from a hospital in City of Deyang during May 12-30,2008. Results There were 1821 injury parts in 1 420 patients.Of all.there were 1 089 patients(76.69%)with single part injury and 331(23.31%)with multiple trau-ma.The injury incidence rate of extremities,body surface and soft tissues was higher than that of the oth-er paris.The incidence rate of single part injury was higher than that of multiple trauma(P<0.01).The wound flow accounted for 68.80% within 2 days after earthquake,which was more than that in other time (P<0.01).The patients aged at 19-45 years were more than those at other ages(P<0.10).Most pa-tients received first remedy 12 hours after earthquake(P<0.01). Conclusions The speed of remedy is key to disaster rescue.and the gold time for early disaster rescue is within 48 hours after earthquake,when the principle of damage control surgery should be followed.It is necessary,in peace time,to strengthen training of self-care and buddy aid and learning about the knowledge on emergency treatment,as may help save more lives during disaster.

At 2:28 p.m. local time on 12 May, 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake struck with a magnitude of 8.0. After the earthquake, 1364 injured persons, including 732 women and 632 men, were admitted to Deyang People's Hospital. The ages of the injured persons ranged from 0.2 years to 102 years (mean, 42.5 years). Of all injured persons, 4.65% aged under 7 years, 13.84% between 7 and 18 years, 39.57% between 19 and 45 years, 24.48% between 46 and 65 years, and 17.46% above 65 years. A total of 1713 injuries were found in all the injured persons, and the predominant injuries were found in limbs, body surface, head and chest. The incidence of the multiple injuries was 23.64%. Eighteen persons with abdominal injuries received operation. Prompt, accurate and systematic evaluation of the injury is necessary in raising the rescue efficiency. Treating the injured persons according to a classification optimizes the usage of the limited medical resources. Early definitive operation is crucial in rescuing the lives of the injured persons, and the treatment should be applied within 24 hours after the earthquake, then the emphasis of the rescue work should shift to helping orthopedic surgeons with operation and debridement.

Objective To observe the influence of needling the Eight Confluent Points plus Huo Xue Rong Luo granules on the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine (Gly) in patients with spastic paralysis after cerebral infarction. Method Sixty patients with spastic paralysis after cerebral infarction were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 3 0 cases each. The control group was intervened by basic treatment, while the treatment group was by Huo Xue Rong Luo granules plus acupuncture at the Eight Confluent Points in addition to the basic treatment, for 6 treatment courses in total. Before the treatment, and after half-a-month, 1-month, and 3-month treatments, the Chinese Stroke Scale (CSS) and activities of daily living (ADL) were evaluated, the levels of GABA and Gly were detected by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the therapeutic efficacies were compared. Result After half-a-month treatment, the CSS score dropped significantly in both groups (P<0.01), and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01);the ADL score (Barthel Index score) increased markedly in both groups (P<0.01), and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01); the level of serum GABA increased significantly in both groups (P<0.05), and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);the level of serum Gly rose up significantly in both groups (P<0.01), and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After 1-month treatment, the CSS score dropped significantly in both groups compared to that before treatment (P<0.01), and the inter-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01);the ADL score increased significantly in both groups compared to that before treatment (P<0.01), and the inter-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01);the levels of serum GABA and Gly increased markedly in both groups compared to that before treatment (P<0.01), and the inter-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). After 3-month treatment, the CSS score dropped significantly in both groups compared to that before treatment (P<0.01), and the inter-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01);the ADL score increased significantly in both groups compared to that before treatment (P<0.01), and the inter-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01); the levels of serum GABA and Gly increased markedly in both groups compared to that before treatment (P<0.05), approaching the normal levels, and the inter-group differences were statistically insignificant (P>0.05). Conclusion Needling the Eight Confluent Points plus Huo Xue Rong Luo granules is effective in treating spastic paralysis after cerebral infarction, which is plausibly associated with the up-regulation of inhibitory neurotransmitters (GABA and Gly).
