Objective To investigate the effects of mild hypothermia induced by endovascular cooling with heating exchange catheters on severe traumatic brain injury in patients. Methods Twenty patients with severe traumatic brain injury aged 18-60 yr were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=10 each):ice bay cooling group (group IBC) and endovascular cooling group (group EVC).The state of consciousness was scored on a Glasgow coma scale (GCS).The patients had GCS scores of 3-8. The patients underwent emergency surgery.A probe of intracranial pressure monitor was placed during operation.In group EVC intravascular heat exchange catheters were inserted via femoral vein and connected to intravascular heat exchange system (CoolGard 3000, Alsius, USA). In group EVC body temperature was reduced to 34℃ and maintained at this level for 48 h. MAP, HR, body temperature and intracranial pressure (ICP) were continuously monitored and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) was calculated. Blood samples were taken from peripheral vein for determination of serum concentrations of neuron specific enolase (NSE), myelin basic protein (MBP) and S-100B (by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) and GCS scores were assessed at 10 min before (baseline) and 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after operation. The state of consciousness was again assessed 3 months after operation and scored on Glasgrow outcome scale(GOS). Results ICP was significantly lower and CPP was higher after operation in group EVC than in group IBC. Serum concentrations of NSE, MBP and S-100B were significantly lower after operation in group EVC than in group IBC. Conclusion Mild hypothermia induced by endovascular cooling with heating exchange catheters can effectively reduce severe traumatic brain injury in patients.

ObjectiveTo study the risk factors and pathogenic characteristics of ventilator associated pneumonia(YAP). MethodsRisk factors of VAP,pathogens and drug resistance in 118 patients in ICU were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsThe incidence of VAP was 44.9％, and age, the mechanical ventilation time, state of consciousness,tracheotomy,the antibiotic combination are risk factors of incidence of VAP. 53cases of VAP(68.2％ )were infected by Gram negative bacilli,25.9％ were by Gram positive cocci,and 5.9％ were by fungi. Drug resistance was observed obviously. ConclusionThe occurrence of VAP was related with multiple factors. The gram negative bacteria are the major pathogens of VAP, and the rate of drug resistance was high. The occurrence of VAP could severely affect patients' prognosis.

Objective To investigate the performance of surgical management in facial skin malignancies.Methods From January 2000 to December 2006,65 patients with facial skin malignancies,including47 cases of basal cell carcinoma.10 cases of squamous cell carcinoma,3 cases of dermatofibrosarocoma protuberans,2 cases of malignant melanomas,and one case of malignant acanthoma,hemangioendotheliosar-coma and sebaceous carcinoma,respectively,were collected and managed with wide resection followed by reconstruction.In order to achieve a thorough resection,frozen sections were prepared and subjected to pathological examination during the operation process to ensure the margins of resection were free of malignancy.Reconstruction was carried out by direct closure,or with local random flaps,extended flaps,free skin grafts.Resuits All defects were managed by one-stage reconstruction.The survival rate of skin flaps/grafts was 100%,and a satisfactory appearance and function was achieved.During the follow-up from 6 months to 5 years,local relapse was observed in one patient with basal cell carcinoma and one with squamous eell carcinoma,lymphatic metastasis in one with squamous cell carcinoma.Distant metastasis occurred in a patient with malignant melanoma.who died consequently.Conclusions Thorough resection is the key to prevent relapse of facial skin malignancies after surgery.Appropriate reconstruction may favor the restoration of facial appearance,and local random flaps appear to be the best reconstruction strategy.

A sensitive, rapid, simple and economical ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectro-metric method (UPLC–MS/MS) was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib in human plasma using gliquidone as internal standard (IS). Liquid-liquid extraction method with ethyl acetate was used for sample pre-treatment. The separation was performed on an Xtimate Phenyl column using isocratic mobile phase consisting of A (aqueous phase: 0.15% formic acid and 0.05% ammonium acetate)and B(organic phase:acetonitrile)(A:B=40:60,v/v).The flow rate was 0.25 mL/min and the total run time was 6 min. The multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions, m/z 494.5→394.5 for imatinib, 488.7→401.5 for dasatinib, 530.7→289.5 for nilotinib and 528.5→403.4 for IS, were chosen to achieve high selectivity in the simultaneous analyses. The method exhibited great improvement in sensitivity and good linearity over the concentration range of 2.6–5250.0 ng/mL for imatinib, 2.0–490.0 ng/mL for dasatinib,and 2.4–4700.0 ng/mL for nilotinib.The method showed acceptable results on sensitivity,specificity, recovery, precision, accuracy and stability tests. This UPLC–MS/MS assay was successfully used for human plasma samples analysis and no significant differences were found in imatinib steady-state trough concentra-tions among the SLC22A5?1889T>C or SLCO1B3 699G>A genotypes(P>0.05).This validated method can provide support for clinical therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacokinetic investigations of these three tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs).
