BACKGROUND:Previously deep burn wound or skin defects are generaly repaired with skin grafting or flap of skin grafting. Obvious scar hyperplasia usualy appears after operation, which requires multiple surgeries. Meanwhile, patients have to suffer from great pain and bear high cost. OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effects on deep wounds by continuous traction of self-designed skin-stretching device (patent No. ZL 2012 2 0022443.7). METHODS: Thirty patients with deep burn wound, skin defect or funicular scar were enroled, including 22 males and 8 females, aged 18-49 years, and randomly divided into two groups. Skin-stretching device was adopted for skin traction treatment. Twenty cases underwent skin traction from 1 kg puling force to 5 kg, with an increase of 1 kg per 2 days, 6 hours a day for 10 days. Blood flow at the beginning, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes of the skin traction, and the changes of wound edge skin as wel as histological changes of the skin were observed. Of the remaining 10 cases, 2, 6, and 2 cases underwent skin traction of 2, 4, 7 kg, respectively. Blood flow and skin changes were also observed to find out the most suitable and safe force. RESULTS AND CONLUSION:Al the 30 cases achieved primary healing without necrosis of skin, infection or peripheral circulatory disorders, and the appearance and function recovered wel. The healing time was 8-24 days. The skin-stretching device was most safe under 4 kg puling force, by which, there was neither blood circulation obstacle nor tear of skin. After traction, the skin blood flow and the number of cels increased, especialy the epithelial basal cels. The colagen fibers became thicker and denser, and the elastic fibers regenerated significantly; the fibroblasts and capillary density increased. It has been proved that we can better close the wound and reduce scar formation effectively with the self-designed skin-stretching device for skin traction.

OBJECTIVE:To provide scientific reference for rational,effective and economical drug use in pediatric depart-ment. METHODS:A total of 9771 prescriptions were randomly selected from children's branch of our hospital during May 2012-Apr. 2016. Those prescriptions were analyzed statistically in respects of drug type,prescription cost,utilization rate of injec-tion,utilization rate of essential medicine,clinical diagnosis,irrational drug use,use of antibiotics,etc. RESULTS:Among 9771 prescriptions,2.91 types of drugs were used in each prescription,and each prescription expended 77.10 yuan;utilization rate of in-jection was 57.11%,and that of national essential medicine was 67.80%. Respiratory tract disease was main disease (84.17%). There were 284 irrational prescriptions(2.91%),including 156 non-standard prescriptions,165 unsuitable prescriptions and 65 ex-traordinary prescriptions. Utilization rate of antibiotics was 18.25%,among which that of Cefoxitin sodium injection was the high-est(15.48%),but its utilization index was the lowest(0.58). The detection rate of microorganism isolated from bronchitis patients was in low level(45.10%). CONCLUSIONS:The rate of qualified prescription in the children's branch of our Hospital is higher than the requirement of the former Ministry of Public Health concerning the rate of qualified prescription >95%;utilization rate of antibiotics and injection are both in high level. In the future,it is necessary to strengthen prescription evaluation and promote stan-dard and rational use of drugs so as to guarantee safe,effective and economical use of drugs in clinic.

Objective To study the significance of combined detection of procalcitonin ( PCT ) , C-reactive protein( CRP) and lipopolysaccharide( LPS) for early diagnosis of bacterial infection in newborns. Methods Clinical data of ninety-eight newborns from neonatal ward of our hospital were retrospectively studied. Fifty cases with bacterial infectious diseases were selected as infection group,in the same period,48 cases with non-bacterial infectious diseases were selected as control group. In the 24 hours after admission before use of antibiotics,all of cases were picked blood used for testing CRP,PCT,LPS and blood culture, and the results were contrasted and analyzed. Results The levels of serum PCT,CRP and LPS in infection group were respectively significantly higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05,respectively). In gram-positive bacterium group,the positive rate of combined detection of serum PCT and CRP was obviously higher than that of single detection of PCT or CRP ( 91. 3% vs. 60. 9%,P<0. 05;91. 3% vs. 56. 5%,P<0. 05 respectively) . In gram-negative bacteria group,positive rate of combined detection of serum PCT and LPS was obviously higher than that of single detection of PCT or LPS respectively(88. 9% vs. 59. 3%,P<0. 05;88. 9% vs. 66. 7%,P<0. 05 respectively). Conclusion Joint detection can improve the diagnostic efficiency, and reduce missed diagnosis. And we can identify disease which predominantly infected by positive bacteria or negative bacteria through joint detection,which can contribute to the choice of clinical antibiotic drugs.
