Most of casualties fell into the age of 21～40 years old.The male patients were the two times that of female patients.Conclusion Trauma has become an serious problem. The improvement of prehospital emergency network, ability of on-the-spot emergency care and popularizing the knowledge of emergency are key to reduce the casualties.

ObjectiveTo observe effects of ginkgo bilobate extract injection on the hemorheology,blood lipid and c-reactive protein in serum of patients with cerebral infarction. Methods62 cases patients with cerebral infarction were randomly divided into two groups by means of random number table. Two groups were both given routine treatment. The control group was treated with 20ml compound salvia injection, which was added to 250 ml normal saline, once a day, continuous therapy for 14 days, and the treatment group was treated with 20ml ginkgo bilobate extract injection, which was added to 250 ml normal saline, once a day, continuous therapy for 14 days. The clinical symptoms were observed, hemorheology related index, level of blood lipid and c-reactive protein were detected before and after the treatment. ResultsCompared with the control group,hemorheology related index decreased significantly in the treatment group, especially whole blood viscosity ( 1.57±0.28) mpa ·s (P＜0.01). Blood reduced viscosity (13.95 ± 2.07) mpa ·s, erythrocyte aggregation index (1.37±0.12) , hematocrit (42.36±8.16) were also decreased significantly (P＜0.05) .Triglyceride (TG)(1.23±0.12) mmol/L、 cholesterol (TC) (4.29±1.17) mmtmol/L、 low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDIL-C)(2.31± 0.39) mmol/L and c-reactive protein ( 10.48 ±- 3.82) mg/L in serum in the treatment group were lower than those of the control group (P＜0.01 orP＜0.05) , high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ( 1.78±0.76) mmol/L in serum was higher than that of the control group (P＜0.01) .The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 87.1％ and 67.7％ respectively, there was a significant difference (x2=3.553, P＜0.05). Conclusion The ginkgo bilobate extract injection can protect cerebral infarction from injury,which may be related with its action on regulating the blood viscosity and level of blood lipid.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the feasibility and analgesic effect of ultrasound guided intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) blockade in patients with persistent pain after radical mastectomy with ICBN preservation.Methods In a total of 53 following-up female cases,aged 18-55 years,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,receiving radical mastectomy with ICBN preservation during January,2014 to February,2016,19 patients complained persistent pain in the lateral chest,axilla and/or upper arm more than 3 months after the surgery were enrolled.ICBN blockade was performed using 0.5% ropivacine 10 mL injected in the potential space between the superior of pectoralis minor muscle and the inferior of serratus anterior muscle in the second intercostal space guided by ultrasound.Visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied to assess the pain intensity at rest,on movement,and with 100 kPa pressure before blockage and 30 min thereafter,and then the pain intensity (SPI) was calculated.All nerve blockade-related adverse events including local anesthetic-related allergy,central nervous system and cardiovascular toxicity were recorded.Seven-day follow-ups were required in all patients to assess the pain intensity.Results All 19 cases completed ICBN blockade guided by ultrasound,of which 17 cases completed the seven-day follow-ups.The mean difference in SPI was-9.19 VAS points (95%CI-11.24--7.14,P<0.01).Compared with each mean VAS and SPI before block,all that after block at day 1-6 were significantly decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05).There were 14(82.4%),13(76.5%),7(41.2%) and 3(17.6%)cases that SPI was decreased over 5 points after block at day 1-4.No nerve blockade-related adverse event was observed.Conclusion Ultrasound guided ICBN blockade can relieve persistent post-mastectomy pain safely and effectively.

Objective:To systematically analyse the blood coagulation features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.Methods:An electronic search in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMbase, and CNKI to collect studies related to the blood coagulation features of COVID-19 patients from 1 January 2020 to 1 May 2020. Two reviewers independently screened literatures, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, the platelet count, D-dimer value, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen of patients with different types of diseases were analyzed by using Stata12.0 software.Results:Thirty-nine retrospective studies involving 6 994 COVID-19 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that:(1) compared with severe group, the platelet count (Weighted mean difference; WMD=20.11, 95% CI 11.53 to 28.69, P<0.001) and APTT (WMD=1.30, 95%CI 0.31 to 2.30, P=0.01) were found to be higher while D-dimer (WMD=-0.41, 95%CI-0.58 to-0.24, P<0.001), fibrinogen (WMD=-0.58, 95% CI-0.76 to-0.39, P<0.001) and PT (WMD=-0.51, 95%CI-0.92 to-0.10, P<0.001) were lower in mild group; the platelet count (WMD=-14.75, 95% CI-29.73 to-0.23, P=0.044) was found to be lower while D-dimer (WMD=1.06, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.47, P<0.001) was found to be higher in critical ill patients. (2)Compared with the survival group, the patients in death group displayed elevated levels of D-dimer (WMD=6.86, 95% CI 4.15 to 9.57, P<0.001) and PT (WMD=1.37, 95% CI 0.73 to 2.02, P<0.001) while platelet count (WMD=-36.40, 95% CI-63.23 to-9.58, P=0.008) remained low. Conclusion:Coagulation dysfunction was common in severe, critical ill and dead COVID-19 patients. Platelet count, D-dimer and PT levels were associated with the severity of the disease, and thus could be used as early warning indicators for the deterioration of the disease during hospitalization.

A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） method was established for the simultaneous determination of 12, 13-dihydroxyeuparin and glycyrrhizic acid in Yanyanfang mixture.
