Objective To explore the risk factors and treatment of crush syndrome comlicated in earth-quake injury. Method The demographics and epidemiological characteristics, clinical treatment and the outcome of 35 cases with crush syndrome were reviewed and analyzed.The 35 patients were among 325 victims of "5·12" Wenchuan earthquake, who were admitted in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, Chengdu. Results Of 35 pa-tients with crush syndrome, 7 cases injured at forearm, 25 cases injured at cruse, and 3 cases injured at palm,and 3 cases were complicated with acute renal failure. The time from the occurrence of injury to transporting patients into the hospital was 6～92 hours, with mean time 49.3 hours. All the 35 patients had their wound cut open for de-compression,and 6 cases were cured, 2 had dysfunction, and 27 underwent amputation. Young patients under 14 years old had higher rate (25.8%) of crush syndrome than elder patients of 14～59 years old with rate of 8.0%.And patients admitted into hospital later (over 48 hour after injury) had higher incidence of crush syndrome (31.0 %) than those admitted earlier within 48 hours after injury (3.5 %). Conchusions Attaching great impor-tance to crush syndrome after earthquake injury, early diagnosis and treatment, and timely and complete surgical decompression are key points to the successful treatment and prevention of crush syndrome complicated in earth-quake injury. Because the longer interval between injury and rescue, delayed diagnosis and treatment, and the younger age of patients are all the risk factors of crush syndrome.

BACKGROUND:Preliminary studies of our research group have confirmed that the proliferation of preosteoclasts and the differentiation and function of osteoclasts could be inhibited when they were cultured in lower oxygen tension even hypoxia (2%O 2 ), but the gene expression of osteoclasts cultured in vitro have not been reported.
OBJECTIVE:To examine the effect of oxygen tension on specific gene expression of osteoclasts in vitro and explore the mechanism of osteoclast differentiation influenced by oxygen tension.
METHODS:The preosteoclasts were induced with 10μg/L macrophage colony stimulating facto and 10μg/L soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand into mature osteoclasts. Then the osteoclasts were cultured in normoxia, tissue oxygen and hypoxia (20%, 7%, 2%O 2 ) respectively. cells were then stained for tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase to assess osteoclastic formation. cells were col ected at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 days after culture respectively. The soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand, tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6, tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase, and cathepsin K mRNA expression levels were determined using real-time quantitative PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of osteoclasts positive for tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase in the hypoxia was significantly lower than that in the tissue oxygen and normoxia (P<0.05). Under different oxygen tension, the mRNA expression levels of soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand in osteoclasts maintained unchanged. The mRNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 reached the peak at 5 days after culture in tissue oxygen and normoxia (P<0.05). The mRNA expression time of tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase and Cathepsin K were delayed accompanied by decreased oxygen tension, but the maximum were maintained in tissue oxygen. Compared with normoxia and hypoxia, osteoclasts cultured in tissue oxygen are more prone to differentiate and maintain the activity and functions.

BACKGROUND: Much attention has been focused on mandibular condyle fracture, which has long been considered as a severe injury to the temporomandibular joint(TMJ). Restricted by diagnostic methods, many studies have been conducted on transverse fracture whereas little attention has been paid to longitudinal fracture of the mandibular condyle. Even less is known about longitudinal fracture in young children.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of childhood longitudinal fracture of the mandibular condyle on secondary ankylosis of TMJ.DESIGN: A randomized controlled study.SETTING: Department of Stomatology, General Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Center for Experimental Animals, General Hospital of Chinese PLA. Twelve young Chinese experimental miniature pigs bred by the Institute of Experimental Animals, Beijing Agriculture University, aged 2 -3 months and weighing(5 -5.5) kg, were used and raised with mixed feed, and then divided into 3 groups randomly.METHODS: Food and water was forbidden for the miniature pigs 12 hours before operation. Under anesthesia with(5.0 - 15.0) mg/kg ketamine/xylazine abdominally injected, conventional disinfection was performed in the right lateral decubitus position and layer-by-layer preauricular incisions were made on the left side of the miniature pigs. The joint cyst was incised transversely and the lower cavity of TMJ was exposed and dragged downwards. The mandibular condyle was cleaved into two vertically along the inner 1/3 part of it with a 5.0 mm-wide bone chisel to cause inferior and posterior sagittal fractures. The miniature pigs were executed 3 months and 6 months after operation, and their condyles were cut for observation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①The morphological changes of mandibular condyle specimens in the three groups observed with the naked eyes.②The pathological changes of mandibular condyle specimens under light microscope.RESULTS: The articular disc was adhered to the mandibular condyle after 3months. Temporal fossa adhered to the articular disc and mandibular condyle could still be observed in one specimen. Bifid condylar deformity was found in two specimens and no disc perforation was found. The adhesions became more severe after 6 months and bifid condylar deformity was formed in all the 3 specimens, with distinctly thickened discs. Light microscope observation:Three months after fracture, the adhesion between disc and condyle was obvious. There was no clear boundary between the surrounding tissues. The adhesion was composed of fibro-connective tissues, with a large number of chondrocytes in it. Fibro-connective tissues tightly adhered to the trabeculae were found in some adhesions. The fiber of disc became deranged and blood vessels and fatty cells were seen. Six months after fracture, blood vessels, a large number of fibroblasts and sparse chondrocytes were seen in the adhesions. The collagen fibers of the discs were arranged in whirlpool shape. There were a large number of fatty cells and blood vessels within it. The fiber-cartilage of the condylar surface was found thickened and the fiber deranged in the unadhered tissues. Proliferative changes were seen on disc surfaces.CONCLUSION: Childhood longitudinal fracture of the mandibular condyle causes severe secondary injury to TMJ, suggesting a close correlation between longitudinal fracture of the mandibular condyle and TMJ ankylosis.
