Objective To investigate the physiological responses of healthy youth to doing chest compression as a feedback of quality of CPR after their rapid ascent to high altitude and to evaluate the feedback in the intervention effects of CPR.Methods Prospective,single sample,before-after comparison method was used in this study.Fifteen young adults from plains natives were enrolled as trial subjects in this study.All of them received basic life support training course in advance.In Chongqing (259 m above sea level),subjects performed empiric chest compressions on the model body for 4 minutes followed by feedback compressions for 4 minutes after at least 30 minutes rest.Compression depth,rate and other compression quality parameters were measured and recorded at each turn of compressions with an AED PLUS device.Subjects performed empiric compressions based on their knowledge and experiences,and practiced feedback compressions according to the audiovisual guidance of AED PLUS device.Blood pressure,heart rate and SpO2 were taken before and after each turn of compressions.One week after arrival to Lhasa (3658 m above sea level) by flight,all subjects were asked to do the same procedure as did in Chongqing to see their physiological response to.Paired t tests or Wilcoxon matched pair rank test were used for comparisons of measurements before and after trials.Results Systolic pressures,diastolic pressures,heart rates at baseline in Lhasa were significant different from those in Chongqing,including systolic pressure (125.9 ±9.5) mmHg vs.(112.7 ±13.4) mmHg,diastolic pressure (75.3 ±7.7) mmHg vs.(64.2 ±7.3) mmHg,heart rate (86.3 ± 13.0) beat/min vs.(72.7 ± 11.6) beat/min,SpO2 (90.4 ± 1.7)% vs.(97.8 ±0.9)%,all P < 0.01.In Lhasa,empiric compressions only caused an increase in heart rate (91.1 ± 14.9) beat/min vs.(86.3 ± 13.0) beat/min,P < 0.01.However,feedback compressions resulted in a significant decrease in SpO2 [(88.3 ± 3.4) % vs.(90.6 ± 1.9) %,P < 0.01] as well as change of systolic pressure [(130.9 ± 11.7) mmHg vs.(120.1 ± 11.9) mmHg,P <0.05] and heart rate [(87.9 ± 17.5) beat/min vs.(80.9 ± 11.7) beat/min,P <0.05].In Lhasa,the compression quality during feedback compressions was closer to guideline recommendation than that during empiric compressions.The median (interquartile range) of composite qualification rate was 43.6% (55.9%) vs.0.6% (5.3%) during feedback compressions and empiric compressions respectively,P < 0.01.Conclusions Compression quality decreased significantly among youth after rapid ascent to high altitude.Feedback techniques for CPR could effectively guide the rescuer to improve their CPR quality,but it may be at the expense of more physical consumption.

When adult developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) patients have developed secondary os- teoarthritis of hip (OAH) with serious clinical symptoms,total hip replacement (THR) is their first choice of treatment.The anatomic structures of the acetabulum and femur in these patients are ahnormal and special,such as small and shallow cup,small femoral head,and narrow medullary cavity at proximal femoral shaft.As a result,the THR for DDH patients is quite different from the conventional ones and is thus highly difficult.We review in this paper the clinical classification of DDH,which is important for its treatment,the difficulties we will have in THR, especially in acetabular reconstruction and femoral prosthesis placement,and also strategies to resolve them.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of multiple-injuries of bone and joint in the belief that a better knowledge of such injuries may help their prevention and treatment. Methods A retrospective study was done on the data of 346 patients with multiple-injuries of bone and joint who had been ad- mitted to our department from January 2001 to December 2004. On the basis of CAI's classification, the following data were statistically analyzed: gender, age, cause of injury, injured part, number of injured parts, associated injuries and mortality. Results Of the 346 injured patients, there were 278 males and 68 females, with an av- erage age of 32.8 years (9months to 89 years). Two hundred and twenty-six cases resulted from traffic accidents, 65 from crush by a heavy object, and 52 from falling. There were 159 fractures of shaft of tibia and fibula, 96 fractures of femoral shaft, 87 fractures of shaft of ulna and radius, 58 fractures of ankle and foot, 57 chest injuries, 50 knee injuries, 50 hip injuries, 49 injuries at the pelvis region, 46 wrist and hand injuries, 36 injuries of shoulder, 36 skull fractures, 33 fractures of humeral shaft, 23 spinal fractures, and 17 elbow injuries. Two hundred and forty-two patients had two parts injured, 83 had three parts, 20 had four parts, and one had six parts. The average number of injured parts was 2.3. Two hundred and five patients suffered from close injuries, and 141 from open ones. The associated injuries included skull and brain injury in 51 cases, chest injury in 23, abdomen injury in five, urine system injury in three, nerve and vessel injury in 21, shock in 78, and fat embolism in six. Five patients died. Conclusions Male young people tend to be the majority of victims of multiple-injuries of bone and joint. Traffic accidents result in most of such injuries. Since multiple-injuries mostly involve lower limbs, they are easy to diagnose while the associated close injuries involving brain, chest, abdomen and pelvic are likely to be overlooked or misdiagnosed. Strengthening safety education and technical training of first aid is important to im- provement of treatment and to decrease of disability rate and mortality.

Objective To compare the value of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ ),sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and procalcitonin (PCT) in assessment of severe multiple trauma. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on clinical data of patients with severe multiple trauma who were admitted to ICU from July 1 st 2010 to October 31 st 2011.PCT detection,APECHE Ⅱ and SOFA scoring were routinely performed for all the patients within 24 hours,and were performed again one week later for the patients who were complicated with sepsis within one week.Results The score of APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA in septic shock group was higher than that in severe septic and septic groups (P <0.01 ),while PCT level among septic,severe septic and septic shock groups had no statistical difference (P > 0.05).To determine the predicting accuracy of APECHE Ⅱ score,SOFA score and PCT,receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was constructed.The areas under the curve (AUC) for APECHE Ⅱ score,SOFA score and PCT in predicting the emergence of sepsis on admission was 0.615,0.663 and 0.160 respectively.AUC for APECHE Ⅱ score,SOFA score and PCT in predicting the occurrence of death among the severe multiple trauma patients on admission was 0.576,0.571 and 0.619 respectively.AUC for APECHE Ⅱ,SOFA and PCT in predicting the death of patients complicated with sepsis at one week after admission was 0.746,0.837 and 0.600 respectively. Conclusions Among the APACHE Ⅱ score,SOFA score and PCT,APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA score are better than PCT in assessing the infection severity of sepsis.SOFA score is the best in predicting the occurrence of sepsis,while PCT is the worst.PCT is the best in predicting the occurrence of death of severe multiple trauma patients,while SOFA score is the worst.SOFA score is better than APACHE Ⅱ score and PCT in predicting the occurrence of death of the patients complicated with sepsis.

Objective To investigate the behavioral problems and self-concept of children with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and the correlation between them. Methods The subjects came from a sample survey of primary and middle school students' mental status in 6 regions in Hunan province. Achenbach child behavior checklist (CBCL) was filled out by parents. The Children's self-concept scale (CSCS) was completed by children themselves. Results There were significant differences between the scores of ODD group and the normal control among all CBCL subscales except the activities scale, and the scores for the CSCS scales were all lower in patients with ODD than the control group except for the physical appearance and attributes (P<0.01). In addition, according to correlation analysis, the CBCL scores yielded small but significant correlations with the CSCS scores for children with ODD(P<0.05). Conclusion Children with ODD have generally behavioral problems, poor social competence, and lower self-concept, whose behaviors were correlated with their self-concept.

Background The pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma(POAG) and high myopia are very complex.To construct the regulatory network of virulence genes and relevant genes that involved in pathogenicity are helpful for reveal of the pathogenesis.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate myocilin(Myoc),a gene that contributes to POAG and high myopia in eyes of BXD Recombinant Inbred(BXD RI)mice and construct the regulatory network of Myoc.Methods The affymetrix microarray system was used to detect the differential expression of Myoc in the eyes of C57BL/6J(B6),DBA/2J(D2) and BXD RI mice.Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping was performed to construct the regulatory network of Myoc gene.Results The average expression level of the Myoc gene in the BXD strains was 10.83,and the gene exhibited expression levels ranging from 8.39 in BXD55 mice tol 1.43 in B6 mice.The eQTL mapping for the Myoc gene showed a significant likelihood ratio statistic (LRS) of 21.78.The QTL was mapped in chromosome 2,and Myoc was located on chromosome 1,indicating that the Myoc gene was a trans-acting QTL.Olfml2a was identified to be a candidate upstream gene of Myoc by analysis of bioinformatics.Genetic regulatory network analysis demonstrated that a series of genes associated with Myoc probably played roles in the pathogenesis and development of POAG and high myopia.Conclusions The genetical genomics approach provides a powerful tool for constructing pathways that contribute to complex traits,such as POAG and high myopia.
