To investigate the changes in serum enzymes (ALP、LDH、CK) in dogs suffered from gunshot wounds in limbs in hot and humid environment, 12 dogs were divided into two groups randomly: hot and humid environment (HHE) group and normal environment (NE) group. The contents of ALP, LDH and CK in peripheral blood were assayed at 0h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h and 24h postinjury. The results showed that the contents of serum enzymes tended to rise after gunshot injuries, especially CK. The changes in the contents of serum enzymes in HHE group appeared earlier and more obviously than those in NE group. In conclusion, the contents of serum enzymes coincided with the severity of local tissue damage, and change in the content of CK was more sensitive after tissue injury. The results suggested that hot and humid environment would aggravate systemic reactions and tissue damage after gunshot injuries.

To explore the prevention of deterioration of damaged tissue in gunshot wounds in limbs in hot and humid environment, 18 healthy male mongrel dogs were divided into three groups randomly: hot and humid environment (HHE) group, normal environment (NE) group, and heat acclimatization (HA) group. Histopathological changes and bacterial quantity in wound tracks were observed at postinjury o, 1, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24h. It was found that the swelling of limbs and local pathological changes in injured tissues of HA group were significantly less serious and appeared later than those of HHE group, but severer and appeared earlier than those of NA group. The period that the bacterial quantity reaching the critical point of infection was 8h in HHE group, 12h in HA group and NE group. It is concluded that the pathological changes in gunshot injury in dogs inflicted in hot and humid environment could be lessened by exercise with heat acclimatization.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect about flyback avulsion injury of skin in foot that repaired by anterolateral thigh flap and sural neurovascular flap with their neural anastomosis.Methods 14 patients including 10 males and 4 females,from 16 to 58 years old,with an average of 31 years.The anterolateral thigh flap taking along anterolateral thigh cutaneous nerve was cut to repair wall and sole of foot,at the same time,the anterolateral thigh cutaneous nerve and the medial plantar nerve was anastomosis;the lateral plantar nerve was embedded in the anterolateral thigh flap that was used to repair sole of foot.The sural neurovascular flap was reversed to repair lateral part of foot,and the superficial peroneal nerve was sutured with sural exterior and interior cutaneous nerve.According to Swanson evaluation of clinical effect of peripheral nervous impairment,the sensation of flap was classed as S1,S2,S3,S4,S5;the area of sensory recovery was classed as R1(

To investigate the dynamic change of TNF ? and HSP70 after gunshot wound on limbs of canine in hot and humid environment, the canines were divided into three groups: trauma in normal environment group(NE), trauma in heat acclimatization group (HA), trauma in hot and humid environment group(HHE). Tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF ?) and HSP70 were measured at the time of 0, 1, 3, 4, 6 ,8 , 10, 14, 18, 24h after canine being gunshot. The results showed: ①TNF ? in muscle tissue from gunshot wound tract was significantly higher than that in blood plasma( P

To explore the effect of heat acclimatization to the content of SOD and MDA in dogs with gunshot wound in limbs in hot and humid environment, eighteen Chinese mongrels were divided into 3 groups randomly according to the given environment: heat acclimatization(HA) group, normal environment(NE)group, and hot and humid environment(HHE) group. The contents of superoxide dismutast(SOD) and malonaldehyde(MDA) in muscle tissues of the gunshot wound track were assayed at 0, 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18 an 24h respectively after wounding. The results showed that the contents of MDA in both HA and HHE groups began to ascend on postinjury hour(PIH) 1, peaking at PIH10 in HA group and PIH6 in HHE group, with the former lower than the latter. There was no significant difference between the contents of MDA in the three groups at PIH18. The content of SOD in HA group began to rise immediately after injury, which was 1h earlier than that in the other two groups, and it was higher than that in HHE group after PIH4. The content of SOD was too low to be measured at PIH10 in HHE group, and this result was 4h earlier than that in the other two groups. In conclusion, SOD and MDA play an important role in the pathophysiological process of gunshot wound in hot and humid environment. Heat acclimatization can be favorable to mitigate pathophysiological changes, and it might be an effective method to prevent rapid deterioration of gunshot injuries in hot and humid environment.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of early total enteral nutrition (TEN) in severely burned patients. Methods: Forty one burned patients with total burn surface area over 30% were randomly assigned to TEN group (n=21) and CONT group (n=20). The two nutritional support protocols were similar in calorie and nitrogen intake within 7 d of treatment. Serum levels of visceral proteins and TNF-? were measured. Prognostic inflammatory and nutritional index (PINI) was postulated from formula. Results: Contrasting to a significant reduction (from 96.0?31.8mg/L to 69.4?17.3 mg/L, P

Objective To discuss the three-dimensional reconstruction of lateral flaps of legs by Amira 4.1 based on an operational platform of personal computer,and to establish their digitized visible models.Methods A fresh adult cadaver specimen was perfused with the mixture of lead oxide-gelatine.The eikonic data were imputed into personal computer.Radiographs of CT scanning of the lower legs were digitally analyzed by Amira 4.1 software.The segmented areas for skin,arteries and flap structures were displayed in different colors using tools of Brush,Lasso and Magic wand.By several steps,according to particularities of anatomy structures and traits of images,stereo images of the flap and its blood vessel structure were performed by several algorithms.The 3D reconstruction via the Amira 4.1 software consisted of tracing the contours of the anatomical structures to be reconstructed;adjusting the contours of stacked points by geometrical alignment;modeling the surfaces by meshing the framework of the points transformed into polygons and smoothing the contours of the object reconstructed from points.Three dimensional computerized reconstructions of lateral flaps of legs were conducted from these data using Amira 4.1 by computer-assisted imaging processing.Results The 3D images of the flap and its blood vessel structure by Amira were clearly displayed,and the surface and volume information could be obtained.The 3D images could display perfectly the main structures of flap and other adjacent structures by means of personal computer and software Amira 4.1.Correlation of cross-sectional images from CT-scanning to 3D models was a more effective way for understanding the flap anatomy.Conclusion Three-dimensional computerized reconstruction for lateral flaps of legs may provide great value for clinical experiments,basic research and surgical planning,and the Amira 4.11 software is of vital for three-dimensional reconstruction.

Objective To investigate the angiographic coronary atheroslerosis findings with the plasma levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and ?-granule membrane protein (GMP-140). Methods 74 patients undergone selectrive coronary angiography (CAG) were divided into 3 groups based on plaque morphology, Group S(n=15), concentric or eccentric stenosis with smooth borders; Group C(n=37), eccentric stenosis with complex borders; Group N (n=22), CAG without coronary atheroslerosis. 37 patients in group C were divided into group Ⅰ (n=10, one-vessel involved CAD), group Ⅱ (n=12, two-vessel involved CAD) and group Ⅲ (n=15, three-vessel involved CAD) based on major epicardial coronary branches lesion. These 37 patients were divided into group x(n=21, ≤3 segments) and group y(n=16,≥4 segments) based on coronry stenotic segments. The plasma levels of vWF and GMP-140 were assayed by ELISA before angiography. Results (1)The plasma levels of vWF and GMP-140 in group C were significantly higher than those in group S(P
