Objective To investigate the characteristics of patient throughput in emergency room (ER),and the factors causing increase in ER length of stay in order to improve the quality of emergency service.Methods Data of critically ill patients presented to an emergency room in a tertiary teaching hospital in 2010 were retrospectively studied,and the characteristics of patient throughput including patients referred to different departments with different outcomes,and variation in number of patients round the clock in workdays and weekends were analyzed.Results ( 1 ) The median length of stay (LOS) of 7966 critical patients in emergency room (ER) was 11 h,and of them,56.6％ stayed in ER for more than 6 h,and 21.6％ over 24 h.(2) There were significant differences in LOS in ER among patients treated by different departments leading to no shorter length of time consumed for treatment by many departments other than the following specialties of emergency department,neurosurgery,neurology and general medicine department in sequence from less time required to the longest length of time consumed.( 3 ) There were significant differences in LOS in ER among patients with different courses after disposition leading to the longest length of time consumed by those discharged by patients 'own decision and admitted into the hospital,and the shortest time required in patients after emergency operation.(4) There were also significant differences in specialty,outcomes and time needed for throughput between workdays and weekends,and during different time intervals round the clock.Conclusions The situation of patient throughput of critical illness in emergency room in this hospital was not ideal.The factors associated with prolonged stay in ER included different specialties in charge of patients,different courses and outcomes after disposition,severity of illness,different time intervals round the clock,and this investigation deserves a further study.

Objective To explore factors associated with prolonged emergency room (ER) stay of critically ill patients admitted so as to accelerate throughput of emergency patients.Methods Data of critically ill patients admitted into the emergency room of a tertiary teaching hospital in 2010 were retrospectively studied.Stepwise Cox regression analysis was used to determine factors likely associated with prolonged stay in ER.Results ( 1 ) A total of 6246 critical illnesses were admitted into emergency room,the ER length of stay [M (Qr)] was 11 h (3 ～23 h).Of them,56.6％ patients stayed in ER more than 6 h and 21.6％ over 24 h.(2) Univariate analysis showed the major factors contributing to prolonged stay in ER were insufficient inpatient bed capacity,followed by poor family finances,complicated diseases needed care from multiple departments,emergency operation,lack of specialty wards,lack of department bearing main responsibility of critical care,age,gender and arrival time to ER.(3) Multivariate analysis showed that the main factors contributing to prolonged stay were insufficient inpatient beds,poor family finances,complicated diseases needed treatment from multiple departments,emergency operation,lack of specialty wards,lack of department bearing main responsibility of treatment,gender and arrival time to ER.Age was not an independent factor.Conclusions Plenty of critically ill patients admitted to this hospital had prolonged stay in emergency room with variety of factors.The possible factors contributing to this were insufficient inpatient bed capacity,poor family finances and complicated diseases needed care from multiple departments,and this investigation deserves a further study.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum cholinesterase(ChE) and acute-phase proteins in patients with multiple trauma, then to evaluate their significance to judge prognosis. Method It's a prospective observation study. Patients with multiple trauma admitted to emergency intensive care unit,Second Af-filiated Hospital, Zhejiang Universieg, school of medicihe within 24 h after trauma from Oct. 2005 to Oct. 2007 were enrolled. And those with chronic liver disease, touching orgnaophosphorus, active tuberculosis, tumor, in-fection of major organ before trauma, liver injury or age < 18 year were excluded. Among 81 patients, 57 were male and24 female. The average age was (46±18) years, and the average injury severity score was (34.0±11.9).Seventy six healthy were selected as controls, 53 male and 23 female, with an average age of (44±16)years. The exclusion standards were the same as those in patients. Both groups had same gender proportion and age. Senum ChE and acute-phase proteins(APP) including albumin(ALB), prealbumin(PAB), transferrin(TRF),C-reactive protein(CRP) in patients were detected at 1, 3, 7 d after trauma. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅲ (APACHEⅢ) was recorded simuhancously. Serum ChE, ALB, PAB, TRF, CRP in the controls were also detected. All of these indexes in the controls were compared with thoses in patients by t test or rank surn test. The dynamic changes of serum ChE and APPs in patients were analyzed by one way repeated mea-sures ANOVA. The relationships between serum ChE and those APPs and the relationships between APACHE Ⅲ and these indexes were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. We also compared these indexes between patients with different outcomes by t test or rank sum test. The values of serum ChE and those APPs to judge prognosis were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Results Patients had lower serum ChE, ALB, PAB, TRF and higher CRP than the healthy at 1, 3, 7 d post trauma. Serum ChE activity in patients was reducod over 25% (42.3%～50.2%) than that in the healthy, and showed a tendency to decrease after trauma, which resembled PAB and TRF. Serum ChE was positively correlated with ALB, PAB and TRF at 1, 3, 7 d, and negatively correlated with CRP at 3, 7 d. At 1, 3, 7 d post trauma, APACHEⅢ in patients was negatively correlated with serum ChE and TRF, but negatively correlated with ALB only at 1 d, and negatively correlated with PAB only at 1,7 d, and posi-tively correlated with CRP only at 7 d. Non-survivors had lower serum ChE activity and TRF than survivors at 1,3,7 d after trauma, but had lower ALB only at 7 d after trauma and had lower PAB only at 1,7 d after trauma than survivors, and had higher CRP than survivors only at 7 d after trauma. Logistic regression analysis showed serum ChE and PAB were the only two independent risk factors to judge prognosis. Conclusions Serum ChE may be in-cluded as negative acute-phase protein, and is better than other APPs in reflecting injury severity and prognosis in patients with multiple trauma.

Objective To explore the mechanism by which the anti-human P185erbB2 scFv-Fc-IL-2(HFI)modulates tumor surface molecules and activates immune effector cells in vitro. MethodsMTT assay was used to test the proliferation and the LAK-like cytotoxicity. Flow cytometry assay was used to test the expression of ICAM-1, Fas and erbB2 receptors in tumor cells and the expression levels of CD molecules FasL and LFA-1 in human PBMC. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity(ADCC)mediated by HFI against SKOV3, MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells was explored hv LDH release assay. Results The expression levels of ICAM-1 and Fas on SKOV3 cell treated with HFI were upregulated, from 24.85％ and 0.53％ to 85.36％ and 59.19％ respectively, while the expression levels of erbB2 on SKOV3, MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells treated with HFI were downregulated, from 98.48％, 42.60％ and 36.66％ to 94.01％,30.95％ and 12.36％ respectively. HFI could significantly enhance the proliferation activity of human PBMC, and CD3+ CD8+ T cells and CD3- CD16+ CD56+ NK cells were elevated, from 24.37％ and 6.90％ to 38.80％ and 13.45％ respectively. The expression levels of CD25, LFA-1 and FasL were significantly enhanced from 3.99％, 86.52％ and 5.02％ to 12.96％, 99.06％ and 16.19％. The LAK-like cytotoxicity of human PBMC treated with HFI against SKOV3, MCF-7,SGC-7901 tumor cells was significantly improved:HFI was effective in mediating ADCC against SKOV3,MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells which expressed high,medium and low levels of erbB2,respectively,and HFI-induced ADCC was correlated with the degrees of erbB2 expression on the tumor cells. Conclusion The expression levels of ICAM-1 and Fas on SKOV3 cell treated with HFI are significantly upregulated. The expression levels of erbB2 on SKOV3, MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells treated with HFI are downregulated. HFI can significantly enhance the proliferation activity of human PBMC. The LAK-like eytotoxicity of human PBMC treated with HFI against tumor cells is significantly enhanced. HFI iS effective in mediating ADCC and the activity of HFI-induced ADCC is correlated with the degrees of erbB2 expression on the tumor cells.
