Objective To summarize and analyse the clinical data of death cases in the department of emergency internal medicine. Methods The clinical data of patients presenting at the department of emergency internal medicine from January 2005 to July 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among 13 211 patients of department of emergency internal medicine, 145 died. More cases died in winter( 32.0% , 39/122 ).More than half of deaths occurred within 6 hours after admission( 54.5% ,79/145 ). The top six death causes were sudden death, pulmonary infection, cerebrovascular accident, advanced cancer, gastrointestinal bleeding,cardiovascular diseases and the occurrence rates were 18. 6%, 13.8%, 13.8%, 10.3%, 9. 7% and 9.0%respectively. Conclusion The first three death causes in department of emergency internal medicine were sudden death, cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary infection. Prevention of these diseases, cooperation between emergency department and other departments and special training on standardized treatment of critically ill patients should be enhanced.

OBJECTIVETo explore optimal choice of surgical treatment for subtrochanteric fractures in older children.

METHODSA retrospective study of 36 older children with subtrochanteric fractures was performed between January 2010 and January 2012. Among them, 18 patients (11 males and 7 females) aged from 7 to 13 years old with an average of 9.4 were treated with titanic elastic nail (TEN) fixation, 4 cases were Type II A, 3 cases were II B, 2 cases were II C, 4 cases were III A, 3 cases were III B according to Seinsheimer classification. Eighteen patients (10 males and 8 females) aged was from 8 to 13 years with an average of 9.6 were treated with locking compression pine (LCP) fixation, and 3 cases were Type II A, 4 cases were II B, 3 cases were II C, 4 cases were IIIA, 2 cases were III B. Fracture healing time, postoperative complications (including wound infection, failure and breakage of internal fixtion, deformities of angular on the sagittal view, deformities of coxa vara) and recovery of hip joint function were observed and recorded.

RESULTSAll children were followed up from 15 to 36 months with an average of 21. Fracture were all healed, the time ranged from 7 to 16 weeks (mean 9.5). Three cases in TEN group occurred mild deformities of angular on the sagittal view, 3 cases occurred deformities of coxa vara and 2 cases occurred limb shortening; while 1 case occurred mild deformities of angular on the sagittal view, and no deformities of coxa vara and limb shortening occurred in LCP group. No early close of epiphyseal injury, avascular necrosis of femoral head occurred. Clinical efficacy were evaluated by Sanders standard, 14 cases got excellent results, 3 cases were moderate in LCP group, while 9 cases in excellent, 4 in moderate in TEN group. There were no significant differences between two group in recovery of hip joint function and complications.

CONCLUSIONFor the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures in older children,the efficacy of LCP fixation is better than that of TFN fixation, which has advantages of reliable fixation, and less complications.

Randomized sampling-based questionnaire among 2000 community residents and personal contact with selected populations were conducted.Based on incidence or clinical featuxes of dermatosis and venereal diseases and recognition-related impact factor analyses,we provided evidence for community-based health education and behavior intervention.Our findings showed that itching was the most common skin disease,and fungous infection displayed an increasing trend.Viral diseases increased significantly in recent years.Patients failed to understand the skin diseases,although they partly had some misleading information about venereal diseases.Health care providers should perform more health education and behavior interventions regarding dermatosis and venereal diseases for community residents to improve their health condition or quality of life.

A review with 58 references is presented on the degradation methods of polysaccharide, preparation of monosaccharide and oligosaccharide derivatives and selection of chromatographic conditions for gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatographic analysis. The application and advance of chromatography on the analysis of carbohydrates are introduced.

Objective To investigate formalin-induced nociceptive behavior and c-fos expression of interbrain following stellate ganglionic block (SGB) in rabbits. Methods Catheters were inserted closely to right stellate ganglia in rabbits by operation.One week later,twenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, each group containing 8 animals. groups A,B and C received 0.5ml of normal saline,3% formalin and 3% formalin stimulation by intraplantar injection , respectively. 10 minutes before stimulation,0.5 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered via the catheter in group B, while in groups A and C 0.5 ml of normal saline was applied. Nociceptive behavior was observed for 1 hour using weighted pain score. 2 hours after stimulation, whole interbrain was removed to immunohistochemically detect the expression of c-fos. Results Formalin-induced nociceptive behavior in phase 2 was relieved following SGB, c-fos expression level of hypothalamus in group B was significantly lower than that in group C(P0.05). Conclusion SGB could relieve formalin-induced nociceptive behavior, and downregulate formalin-induced c-fos expression of hypothalamus, which may be related to the mechanisms of SGB for the treatment of inflammatory pain.

AIM: To investigate the expression of Fas/FasL system in human lung carcinoma cell lines (A549, EBC-1, LCSC) and T-lymphocytes (Jurkat), and to search the possibilities of immune escape and counterattack mediated by Fas/FasL pathway in human lung carcinoma cells. METHODS: The protein and mRNA expression of Fas and FasL were detected by FACScan, RT-PCR, respectively. Cell apoptosis was assessed by fluorescent staining. Cell growth was determined by a trypan blue exclusion assay. RESULTS: Fas and FasL were expressed in 3 human lung carcinoma cell lines and T-cells, Jurkat. The lung carcinoma cells inhibited the growth (P

Objective To study clinical feature,pathology,treatment and outcome of acute renal failure(ARF) in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome(IDNS).Methods History-taking of 38 cases were carried out all detailly 24-hour urine protein,biochemistry markers,hemorheology,renal histopathology were detected.Results The study fandings that 82 percent of patients were less than 40 years old,76 3 percent were male,74 percent(28 patients) were non-oliguria and 52 6 percent were minimal change glomerulonephritis through the renipuncture,most of the cases had edema of interstitium, by give prednisone of standard dosage,symptomatic treatment or dialysis the satisfying efficacy was got.Conclusions The main features of IDNS complicated with ARF are usual,it is non-oliguria type in clinic minimal glomerulonephritis in pathology,and deficient blood volume leads to occurrence of ARF,but the renal function could be recovered by give prednisone of routine dosage,symptomatic treatment and hemodialysis therapy.
