Objective To investigate the dynamic change of serum myoglobin and assess its relation with injury severity in multiple trauma patients. Methods The concentration of serum myoglobin in 41 multiple trauma patients (ISS ≥16 points) was detected at days 1,3,7 and 14 after injury. In the meantime, injury severity score ( ISS), Glasgow coma score ( GCS), simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ( SAPS Ⅱ ), percentage of the injured muscle and soft tissue to entire body, shock on admission and ultimate outcomes were recorded at day 1 after injury. All patients were divided into ISS ≥25 group or ISS < 25 group, survival group or death group based on the injury severity and ultimate outcomes. The dynamic changes of the serum myoglobin were observed and compared between the groups. The correlation of the serum myoglobin concentration with ISS, GCS, SAPS Ⅱ score, shock and the percentage of injured muscle and soft tissue was investigated. Results The serum myoglobin concentration in ISS ≥ 25group was decreased more slowly than that in the ISS < 25 group, with higher concentration of the serum myoglobin concentration in the ISS ≥ 25 group than that in the ISS < 25 group at all time points. The serum myoglobin concentration in the death group was increased first, then slowly declined and reached peak at day 3. While in survival group, the serum myoglobin concentration was continuously decreased, with lower serum myoglobin concentration than that in the death group at all time points. The serum myoglobin concentrations were positively correlated with the SAPS Ⅱ score at all time points, with ISS at days 7 and 14, with the percentage of the injured area at day 1 and with the shock at days 1 and 3, while the serum myoglobin concentration was negatively correlated with GCS at days 3,7 and 14. Conclusions The dynamic changes of the serum myoglobin concentration in multiple trauma patients may reflect the severity,trends and prognosis of the injury, and hence can be used as effective index for monitoring the disease.

ObjectiveTo detect the serum NT-proBNP level in patients with severe trauma 24 hours after injury in order to find the possible correlated factors for the evaluation of the clinical application.MethodsSixty patients with severe trauma admitted to the emergency ICU were enrolled. Serum NTproBNP level was detected 24 hours after injury for comparison between survivors and nonsurvivors. The validity of NT-proBNP for predicting outcome was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic ( ROC )curve. The factors with significant correlation between NT-proBNP level and the length of ICU stay as well as the duration of mechanical ventilation support were determined in those survivors with correlation and stepwise linear regression analysis. These factors included injury severity score (ISS), head abbreviated injury score (AIS), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ ( APACHE I ), Glasgow coma score (GCS), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I) and central venous pressure. Results The median NT-proBNP levels were 762 pg/ml (IQR, 400-1131 pg/mL) in nonsurvivors versus 200 pg/ml (IQR, 80-383 pg/mL) in survivors (Z =-3. 972, P <0.01 ). The area under ROC curve of NTproBNP was not statistically different to that of ISS and that of APACHE Ⅱ. The best threshold value of NTproBN to predict the outcome was 384 pg/ml ( sensitivity 0. 846, specifity 0. 766). A positive correlation was found between NT-proBNP and the length of ICU stay ( r =0. 32, P < 0. 05 ) as well as the duration of mechanical ventilation ( r =0. 37, P < 0. 05 ) in survivors. Stepwise linear regression analysis indicated there were significant correlations between APACHE Ⅱ, CK-MB and NT-proBNP.ConclusionsSerum NT-proBNP level 24 hours after injury is correlated with the severity and outcome of patients with severe trauma. It may be used as a complementary biomarker for the rapid assessment of the severity of trauma.

Objective:
To explore the mediating effect of parental hostile attribution bias on depression and anxiety between parents and children, so as to provide the reference for the promotion of children's mental health.
Methods:
Students of grades 2-6 in two public primary schools in Linping District, Hangzhou City and their parents were investigated using stratified sampling method in November 2022. Emotions of children were surveyed using Depression Self-Rating Scale for Child (DSRSC) and Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), while emotions and hostile attribution bias of parents were surveyed using Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Social Cognitive Screening Questionnaire (SCSQ). Mediating effect of parental hostile attribution bias on depression and anxiety between parents and children was analyzed using a structural equation model.
Results:
Totally 300 questionnaires were allocated, and 263 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective rate of 87.67%. There were 137 boys (52.09%), and 126 girls (47.91%), with a mean age of (9.95±1.44) years. There were 69 fathers and 194 mothers investigated. The prevalence of depression among parents was 27.00%, the prevalence of anxiety among parents was 4.18%, and the median score of hostile attribution bias was 1.00 (interquartile range, 2.00). The prevalence of depression among children was 11.03%, and the prevalence of anxiety among children was 29.66%. Parents' depression and anxiety affected children's depression and anxiety directly (effect value=0.270, 95%CI: 0.131-0.436), and also indirectly affected children's depression and anxiety by increasing their hostile attribution bias (effect value=0.028, 95%CI: 0.004-0.082), with the mediating effect contributed 9.40% of the total effect.
Conclusion
Parents' depression and anxiety affect children's depression and anxiety directly or indirectly through hostile attribution bias.

Objective To investigate the pretreatment and post-treatment effect of reduced glutathione (GSH) on acute ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of rat kidney. Methods Fifty adult SD rats were divided into 5 groups: control group (Sham group), ischemia reperfusion group (I/R group), GSH pretreatment group (pre-treatment group), and GSH post-processing group (post-treatment group), with ten rates in each group. Animals in pre-treatment group were injected 4% GSH 100 mg/kg intraperitoneally at 24th , 16th , 8th hour and 45th minute before surgery. Animals in post-treatment group were administrated GSH with the same dosage at 45th minute, 6th, 12th and 18th hour after surgery. Creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (BUN) level, the total superox-ide dismutase (T-SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in serum were measured at 24th hour after surgery. Histopathological changes were checked by H. E staining. Results Damage on kid-ney structure of animals in pre-treatment group was less than that in I/R group. There was little pathological change on kidney of those in pre-treatment group. Serum Cr, BUN, MDA and NO levels were all decreased but T-SOD activity increased in pre-treatment and post-treatment group when compared with those in I/R group (P <0.05), (P < 0.05). T - SOD activity in post-treatment group was higher than that in pre-treatment group (P <0.05). Conclusion GSH can protect rats against acute renal ischemia-reperfusion injury within 24 hours before and after kidney ischemia-reperfusion , especially after ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective ToexploretheapplicationofVasoCT,astentimagingtechnique,instent-assisted coilaneurysmembolization.Methods Twentyconsecutivepatientswith23intracranialaneurysmswere treated with stent-assisted aneurysm embolization in the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces from December 2013 to November 2014 were enrolled. The patients performed VasoCT scan immediately after procedure. Then all the available images were used for stent-optimized reconstruction respectively. Under the XpertCT mode,the available images were observed with both volume imaging and maximum intensity projection. The available images were analyzed and they were divided into very clear,less clear,and not clearaccordingtothestentdevelopingclarity.Results Ofthe22aneurysmstreatedwithstent-assisted embolization,16 were occluded completely,6 were occluded partially. All the stents were expanded completely and were released to the expected locations;11 aneurysm stents developed clearly,9 developed less clearly,and 2didnotdevelopclearly.Conclusion VasoCTcanbeusedinthestent-assistedaneurysmembolization.It can clearly reveal the microscopic structure of the stents,location,relationship with the artery wall,and relationship between stents and coils. The clarity of stent development is associated with the diameters of the packed coils,and the stents are also affected by the metal artifacts projecting direction and the dense degree of the packing coils.

Objective To develop a new method to measure pleural effusion volume by ultrasound in critically ill patients. Methods Forty-six critically ill patients admitted to emergency ICU were involved.The height of effusion (H),area of effusion at the middle section (S), thickness of effusion at middle-back line (T1) and posterior axillary line (T2) were measured by ultrasound in supine position at the end of expiration. The measured volume of pleural effusion (Vc) was calculated by H×S,and the actual volume of drainage (V) within 2 hours was also recorded. The correlation of actual volume of pleural effusion (V)with effusion height (H) ,thickness (T1, T2), area (S) and the calculated volume (Vc) were analyzed to decide the most accurate index and method. Results There was much better correlation between actual volume of effusion and S, (H & S), Vc, than these between V and T1 ,T2, H in all patients and subgroup, Vc had good correlation with V and very close to V(the average difference was 56 ml) when the actual volume was less than 500 ml,there was no difference[(417 ± 94)ml vs (402±95)ml, t = 1.095, P = 0. 285]. Both Logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed S was the most reliable index to predict the actual volume to exceed 500 ml,400 ml,and 300 ml when compared with H,S,T1 and T2. The corresponding threshold was 30.3 cm2 , 28.3 cm2 and 23. 1 cm2 , with the sensitivity and specificity of 0. 77 and 0. 88,0.72 and 1.0,0.95 and 1.0, respectively. Conclusions This new method based on measuring the area of effusion by ultrasound is more efficient and reliable than those traditional ones to measure the volume of pleural effusion. It's clinically valuable and easy to perform, and deserves broad application.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum cholinesterase(ChE) and acute-phase proteins in patients with multiple trauma, then to evaluate their significance to judge prognosis. Method It's a prospective observation study. Patients with multiple trauma admitted to emergency intensive care unit,Second Af-filiated Hospital, Zhejiang Universieg, school of medicihe within 24 h after trauma from Oct. 2005 to Oct. 2007 were enrolled. And those with chronic liver disease, touching orgnaophosphorus, active tuberculosis, tumor, in-fection of major organ before trauma, liver injury or age < 18 year were excluded. Among 81 patients, 57 were male and24 female. The average age was (46±18) years, and the average injury severity score was (34.0±11.9).Seventy six healthy were selected as controls, 53 male and 23 female, with an average age of (44±16)years. The exclusion standards were the same as those in patients. Both groups had same gender proportion and age. Senum ChE and acute-phase proteins(APP) including albumin(ALB), prealbumin(PAB), transferrin(TRF),C-reactive protein(CRP) in patients were detected at 1, 3, 7 d after trauma. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅲ (APACHEⅢ) was recorded simuhancously. Serum ChE, ALB, PAB, TRF, CRP in the controls were also detected. All of these indexes in the controls were compared with thoses in patients by t test or rank surn test. The dynamic changes of serum ChE and APPs in patients were analyzed by one way repeated mea-sures ANOVA. The relationships between serum ChE and those APPs and the relationships between APACHE Ⅲ and these indexes were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. We also compared these indexes between patients with different outcomes by t test or rank sum test. The values of serum ChE and those APPs to judge prognosis were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Results Patients had lower serum ChE, ALB, PAB, TRF and higher CRP than the healthy at 1, 3, 7 d post trauma. Serum ChE activity in patients was reducod over 25% (42.3%~50.2%) than that in the healthy, and showed a tendency to decrease after trauma, which resembled PAB and TRF. Serum ChE was positively correlated with ALB, PAB and TRF at 1, 3, 7 d, and negatively correlated with CRP at 3, 7 d. At 1, 3, 7 d post trauma, APACHEⅢ in patients was negatively correlated with serum ChE and TRF, but negatively correlated with ALB only at 1 d, and negatively correlated with PAB only at 1,7 d, and posi-tively correlated with CRP only at 7 d. Non-survivors had lower serum ChE activity and TRF than survivors at 1,3,7 d after trauma, but had lower ALB only at 7 d after trauma and had lower PAB only at 1,7 d after trauma than survivors, and had higher CRP than survivors only at 7 d after trauma. Logistic regression analysis showed serum ChE and PAB were the only two independent risk factors to judge prognosis. Conclusions Serum ChE may be in-cluded as negative acute-phase protein, and is better than other APPs in reflecting injury severity and prognosis in patients with multiple trauma.
