1.A case of rhabdomyolysis with compartment syndrome in the right upper extremity
World Journal of Emergency Medicine 2020;11(3):185-187
Acute compartment syndrome refers to a series of
symptoms of muscles and nerves in the compartment
of the fascia due to acute ischaemia and hypoxia. It is
more common in the volar and calf of the forearm.[1]
Due to long-term ischaemia of muscles and nerves in
the fascia, muscle necrosis and neurological dysfunction
can occur, causing serious irreversible damage to
the limbs. However, rhabdomyolysis is one of the
major complications in the absence of fractures or
other trauma. Rhabdomyolysis syndrome refers to the
destruction and disintegration of striated muscle caused
by various causes, by which intracellular components
such as creatine kinase and myoglobin enter the blood
circulation, causing systemic disorders in the body and
even acute renal failure and other clinical syndromes.[2]
This case introduces rhabdomyolysis induced by skeletal
muscle ischaemia and hypoxia caused by upper limb
compression after drinking, accompanied by upper limb
compartment syndrome.
2.Effect of early fluid resuscitation on the prognosis of severe acute pancreatitis
Chinese Journal of Pancreatology 2011;11(6):386-389
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of early fluid resuscitation on the prognosis of SAP patients.MethodsPatients who were admitted to our hospital within 72 h after the onset of the SAP were enrolled.The parameters for the fluid resuscitation were as follow: heart rate <120 beat/h,urine output ≥ 1 ml ·h-1 · kg-1,hematocrit ≤35% and mean arterial pressure 65 ~ 85 mmHg ( 1 mmHg =0.133 kPa).The effects of different time of reaching fluid resuscitation ( <48 h,48 -72 h,>72 h) and parameters achieved (0 ~ 1parameter,2 parameters,3 parameters,4 parameters) on the prognosis were analyzed.ResultsThere were 70 patient enrolled in this study and 41 ( 58.6% ) developed complications,20 ( 28.6% ) were referred to surgical operation and 10( 14.3% ) died.The median hospital stay was 23.5 d,and the median medical cost was 71.9(5.7~567.4 thousands RMB).The rates of surgical intervention in <48 h,48 ~72 h,>72 h groups were 20.0%,33.3%,75.0%,and the rates of acute kidney injury were 20.0%,25.0%,75.0%,while the rates of complications were 50.0%,83.3%,100%,and the difference among the 3 groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05 ).The rates of surgical intervention in patients achieving 0 ~ 1,2,3,4parameters within 48h of SAP onset were 50.0%,26.3%,13.0%,25.0%,and the rates of acute kidney injury were 45.0%,31.6%,17.4%,0,while the rates of ARDS were 35.0%,31.6%,13.0%,0,which showing a significant decreasing trend.ConclusionsAn appropriate fluid resuscitation in the first 48 h after the onset of SAP was benefit for improving the treatment effects and patients' outcome.

Objective: To investigate the effects of bovine plasma fibronectin on the proliferation and differentiation of rat osteoblasts. Methods:Rat osteoblasts were cultured and identified. AlamarBlue were used to determine the effect of various concentration of bovine plasma fibronectin on the proliferation of the osteoblasts. ELISA method was used to determine the alkaline phosphatase activity of the cells. Results: Fibronectin stimulated the proliferation of rat osteoblasts at 40 ?g/ml (P

Objective To study the clinical features,pathological characteristics and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma(RCC)in young adults,and to improve the recognition of RCC in young population. Methods The data of 35 young patients with RCC under the age of 35 years from August 1983 to June 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 22 males and 13 females with a mean age of 31 years(age range, 19-35 years).The clinical presentations were as follows:painless hematuria in 12 cases(34%),low back pain in 12(34%),abdominal mass in 2(6%),fever in 3 and Stauffer syndrome in 1.The tumor size was 1.2-13.8 cm in diameter(mean,6.0cm).AJCC staging showed stage I tumor in 8 cases,stageⅡin 4, stageⅢin 18 and stageⅣin 5.Of the 35 cases,28 underwent radical nephrectomy(including simultaneous extraction of the vena cava emboli in 3 cases and extraction with pulmonary lobectomy in 1);5 cases under- went partial nephrectomy;and 2 cases lost the chance of operation(1 of them had biopsy).Results The operations were successful.The postoperative pathologic diagnoses consisted of clear cell carcinoma in 23 ca- ses,mixed cell carcinoma in 5,papillary cell carcinoma in 2,and chromophobe cell carcinoma in 2,low-dif- ferentiated and undifferentiated cell carcinoma each in 1.Of them,26 cases were followed for 12-148 months(mean,56 months).Postoperative 3-and 5-year survival rates were 65% and 50%,respectively. Conclnsions In young population,RCC is difficult to diagnose because of occult symptoms at early stage and lack of tumor specificity,which leads to relatively late clinical staging at diagnosis.RCC is characterized by higher malignancy,easy invasion to surrounding tissues and metastasis,and thus poor prognosis.
6. Analysis on clinical therapeutic efficacy of 49 cases with hilar cholangiocarcinoma
Tumor 2007;27(9):744-746
Objective: To investigate the related factors for the therapeutic efficacy of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods: A retrospective clinical analysis was performed on the clinical data from 49 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Results: The mean survival time was 19.5 months, 8.79 months, and 5.44 months for the total 49 patients who received radical resection, palliative resection, and drainage operation, respectively. The mean survival time was 23.5 months, 9.37 months, and 2.90 months for patients at AJCC TNM stage I and II, III, and IV (IVa and IVb), respectively. The mean survival time was 3.62 months for patients with a total bilirubin level more than 300 μmol/L or 14. 74 months for those patients with a total bilirubin level less than 300 μmol/L. The mean survival time was 5.68 months, 11.59 months, and 22.17 months for patients whose total serum bilirubin level was more than 40 μmol/L, between 20 to 40 μmol/L, and less than 20 μmol/L one week after operation, respectively. Conclusion: TNM stage and curative resection degree are the main related factors influencing the therapeutic efficacy of hilar cholangiocarcinoina. The decreased degree in the serum level of total bilirubin before and after surgery has the potential to be used as a marker to predict the long-term therapeutic efficacy of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo observe and evaluate the clinical effect of acupuncture at "Siguan" combined with the Gallbladder Meridian acupoints on migraine.
METHODSWith randomized controlled trial design, 87 patients were randomly divided into an observation group (42 cases) and a control group (45 cases). The observation group was treated with acupuncture at "Siguan" including Hegu (LI 4) and Taichong (LR 3), combined with the Gallbladder Meridian acupoints including Fengchi (GB 20), Shuaigu (GB 8), Qiuxu (GB 40) and Zulinqi (GB 41), while the control group was treated with acupuncture at the Gallbladder Meridian acupoints, including Fengchi (GB 20), Shuaigu (GB 8), Qiuxu (GB 40), Zulinqi (GB 41), Yanglingquan (GB 34) and Hanyan (GB 4). The treatment was given every other day in two groups, 3 times per week for totally 6 weeks. The migraine intensity, migraine frequency and lasting time of each migraine were observed before and after treatment, and 3-month follow-up was performed after treatment. The clinical efficacy in two groups was evaluated.
RESULTSCompared with those before treatment, the migraine intensity, frequency and lasting time were all reduced significantly after treatment in the two groups (all P<0.01), which were more obvious in the observation group (all P<0.05). At the end of the treatment, the total effective rate was 95.2% (40/42) in the observation group and 80.0% (36/45) in the control group, which had statistical difference (P<0.05). After 3-month follow-up, the total effective rate was 88.1% (37/42) in the observation group and 75.6% (34/45) in the control group, which had no statistical difference (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe "Siguan" combined with the Gallbladder Meridian acupoints could significantly relieve the migraine intensity, frequency and lasting time, and its improvement of symptoms and short-term efficacy are superior to those of the Gallbladder Meridian acupoints alone.
