Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(24):1841-1844
Objective To investigate the performance of Injury Severity Score (ISS), New Injury Severity Score (NISS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS), CRAMS (circulation, respiration, abdomen, motor, speech)score and combined score on the trauma response of trauma patients. Methods Data of acute trauma patients from March 2014 to February 2015 were chosen as the research object. The clinical information at admission was recorded, and the ISS, NISS, RTS, CRAMS and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ) were calculated. The optimal cut-off values were looked for the comparability between the four scores and APACHE Ⅱ score were figured out by ROC curve. The joint diagnosis combined physiological score with anatomical score in overlap mode was used for comparing sensitivity and specificity. Results There was a total of 1 020 patients included in the study. APACHEⅡscore ≥20 was found 711 cases, and APACHEⅡ<20 was 309 patients, and there were significant statistic differences in ISS score (U=11.347, P<0.05),NISS score (U=11.969, P<0.05),CRAMS score (U=8.194, P < 0.05) and RTS score (U=8.357, P < 0.05) between two groups. It was showed by ROC curve analysis that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of ISS, NISS, CRAMS and RTS was 0.907, 0.941, 0.768 and 0.803 (all P<0.05). Compared with the trauma score, combined scores could increase the sensitivity of the prompt assessment of trauma severity in trauma patients, but the combined scores may also reduce the specificity. Conclusions Of these four scoring systems, NISS has the best correlation with APACHEⅡ. Compared with the trauma score, combined scores can increase the sensitivity of the prompt assessment of trauma severity in trauma patients, but the combined scores may also reduce the specificity.

Objective The aim of this study was to establish a rat model of blood hypercoagulable state by intra?venous injection of thrombin and to provide a model for researches on hypercoagulable state. Methods Rats were divided into six groups and were injected with normal saline and 2?5, 5, 10, 20, 40 U/kg thrombin solution through the femoral vein, respectively. Then, blood was drawn to test the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time ( PT) and fibrinogen ( FIB) , and to observe the death rate of rats in these groups to verify the optimal dosage. On this ba?sis, rats were injected thrombin of the best dose through the femoral vein, and blood samples were collected at 0, 10, 30, 60, 120, 180, 300 (s) to test APTT and PT and FIB for determining the best time for blood sampling. At last, the rats were divided into control group and thrombin group to inject normal saline or thrombin solution in the best dose via the fem?oral vein, and blood was taken at the best time to test APTT, PT, FIB and whole blood viscosity. Results APTT and PT values of the 10 U/kg thrombin group were the shortest, and FIB value of this group was the highest among these groups. APTT and PT values of blood sample collected at about 60 s after thrombin injection were the shortest, and FIB value was the highest. Compared with the control group, PT and APTT values of the thrombin group were shorter (P<0?05), and blood viscosity and FIB were higher ( P<0?05 ) . Conclusions Injecting thrombin solution into the femoral vein can be used to establish a rat model of hypercoagulable state. The best dose of thrombin solution is 10 U/kg in a concentration of 2 U/mL. The best time to collect blood sample is 60 s.

Objective To understand epidemic characteristics of human influenza A and the genetic and antigenic variations of H1N1 influenza A isolates in Shanghai area in 2009. Methods Throat swabs were collected from patients with influenza-like illness in the sentinel surveillance clinic in Shanghai area in 2009, then inoculated in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell lines. The types of influenza were identified by direct immunofluorescence assay (DIF) and the subtypes were determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Segments of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of some 2009 H1N1 influenza A isolates were amplified and sequenced. HA and NA gene mutations of 2009 H1N1 influenza A isolates were analyzed. Results Seasonal H1N1 and H3N2 influenza A viruses co-circulated during the spring of 2009 in Shanghai area. Seasonal H3N2 began to co-circulate with 2009 H1N1 in August (the 32nd week) and finally2009 H1N1 became dominate since the 40th week. The phylogenetic tree of 2009 H1N1 HA segment revealed that the isolates from different regions and months were interspersed with each other, but all were clustered into one branch which closed to strains in Spain, Russia, Denmark and other European countries. Mutations were found in some HA amino acid sites, but none of them was in the antigenic determinant region. No change was observed in the 274 NA amino acid residues which were related to the drug resistance to oseltamivir. PB2 protein analysis showed that the 627 and 701 amino acid residues were glutamic acid and aspartic acid respectively, which were the same encoded amino acid with avian flu PB2 protein. Conclusions Seasonal H1N1 and H3N2 co-circulated in the spring of 2009, then both 2009 H1N1 and seasonal H3N2 were prevalent in Summer and Autumn, and 2009 H1N1 finally became dominate in Autumn. Compared to early 2009 H1N1 strains, variations are detected in H1N1 influenza A viruses, but none of them has epidemiological influence, and viruses still show high affinity with human and low-pathogenic characteristics.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of placental thrombosis complicated with fetal growth restriction(FGR),and to analyze its diagnosis and treatment methods. Methods:Combined with reviewing the relevant literatures, the clinical data of a case of placental thrombosis complicated with FGR was retrospectively analyzed. The patient with 32 1/7 weeks of gestation was hospitalized due to placental blood sinus found one month ago;at the same time FGR was found by ultrasound examination. The patient was intravenously given nutritional support treatment such as amino acid and glucose.At the same time, the patient was continuously given low-flow oxygen. Results:The patient received cesarean section at 35 2/7 weeks of gestation and a baby girl with 1 280 g weight and 32 cm length was gained;many blood sinus in the maternal surface of placenta were seen with the largest diameter of 3-4cm;the placenta was hypertrophic, weighted 540 g .After operation,the newborn was transferred to Department of Neonatology and followed up for 1 month.1 month later, the infant could eat by herself, other physical examinations were finished without any obvious abnormal findings and the newbron discharged from hospital after recovery. Conclusion:Placental thrombosis complicated with FGR is very common in clinic and this disease severely endangers the neonatal health. Early diagnosis and reasonable treatment can improve the pregnancy outcomes.

Objective To observe the post-systolic shortening (PSS) during isovolumic relaxation phase and its clinical significance in regional myocardium in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients.MethodsLeft ventricular regional myocardium movement in 60 CHF patients (CHF group) and 30 healthy volunteers (control group) were assessed with tissue velocity imaging (TVI). QLAB software was used to measure the systolic peak velocity (V_s), regional systolic time (T_s), post-systolic shortening velocity (V_(pss)) and post-systolic shortening time (T_(pss)) at the basal and middle levels of left ventricle. Results In CHF patients, the rate of isovolumic relaxation phase PSS was 34.44% both in basal and mid segments, the rate of pathological PSS was 29.44% and 29.72%, respectively. The rate of isovolumic relaxation phase PSS in control group was 26.11% and 20.56%, respectively; none pathological PPS occured. Compared with the physiological PSS of control group, the pathological PSS of CHF group had a higher peak velocity and a longer time (P<0.05). Conclusion The pathological PSS of CHF patients has high peak velocity and long duration, which may be one of the causes leading to the asynchronous movement of left ventricle in CHF.
