Objective To investigate the application of Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ASIA) in China.MethodsThe articles were retrieved in CNKI website (www.cnki.net),full-text Chinese journal database using the following parameters:searching words:"spinal cord injury" and "ASIA",publication time:1979-2006.Results164 articles were harvested,and 140 relevant papers of them were selected for analysis.ConclusionASIA Classification is widely used in China(Mainland).Constructive suggestions for the modification of this Classification were accumulated,while delayed use and misuse of it were found in some studies.

Objective To observe the protective effect of Erigeron Breviscapus(Vant.)Hand-Mazz(EBHM) on retinal ganglion cells(RGCs) and optic nerve in rabbits with elevated intraocular pressure(IOP). Methods Twenty rabbits with chronic elevated IOP were divided into two groups randomly: EBHM treated group(the ocular hypertension with EBHM treated subgroup and the normal IOP with EBHM treated subgroup) and untreated group(the simple ocular hypertension subgroup and the simple normal IOP subgroup). EBHM was irrigated into the stomachs to the treated group after IOP elevated continuously for 7 d.For light and electron microscopy studies,the rabbits' eyes were made into eyeball samples and optic nerve samples after 60 d.The density of RGCs,thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL),and optic nerve axons were observed and quantitated by computer image analysis system.The ultra-microstructure changes of RGCs and optic nerve axons were observed by electron microscope.Results(①The RNFL) thickness,RGCs density and number of axons of the two ocular hypertension subgroups were decreased,compared with those of the two normal IOP subgroups(P

Earthquake can result in a large number of patients with spinal cord injury(SCI).The unique characteristic of spine trauma with SCI leads to challenges in the search-and-rescue phase and early trauma care for these patients.Rescue workers should be aware of the importance of spinal immobilization in people who is suspected of SCI.Special considerations are indicated for children less than 7 years old.The ABCs should be implemented as a primary resuscitative effort.Acute respiratory and hemodynamic failure after SCI should also require careful management at the scene.All efforts are aimed primarily at reducing the morbidity associated with acute SCI and increasing the survival rate of patients with SCI.

3 cases with esophageal fistula following anterior cervical fixation were reported. The diagnosis, treatment, nursing and prevention were summarized with literature.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of both conservative and surgical treatment on cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation.MethodsResultsAll patients had some recovery after both surgical and conservative treatment(P<0.05),but the patients after surgical treatment had a better outcome than those after conservative treatment(P<0.01).ConclusionThe effect of early surgical treatment on cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation is superior to conservative.

Objective To investigate the effect of problem- based learning (PBL) combined with evidence- based medicine (EBM) on clinical teaching for postgraduates of spinal cord injury rehabilitation. Methods Postgraduates who studied in our ward between April 2010 to March 2012 were enrolled as control group (n=12) and received traditional teaching. Postgraduates who studied in our ward between April 2012 to March 2014 were enrolled as test group (n=12) and received PBL combined EBM in addition. Their achievement of academic and practical (case analysis) tests were compared, and they were investigated with questionnaire of satisfaction. Results There was no significant difference between the groups in achievement of academic and practical (case analysis) tests (P>0.05). The score of progressive knowledge was significantly higher in the test group than in the control group (P<0.01). The results of questionnaire showed that the level of literature retrieval, English, self-learning and analyzing-summarizing improved more in the test group than in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of improvement of clinical thinking, nor of the satisfaction about teacher and teaching method (P>0.05). Conclusion PBL combined with EBM can improve the teaching for postgraduates majored in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.
