Objective To summarize the experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of delayed rupture of spleen.Methods The clinical data of 26 patients with traumatic delayed rupture of spleen who were admitted to the Dachang Hospital from January 2005 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.The medical history,clinical presentation,results of laboratory examinations were analyzed,and the splenic trauma was graded.Surgical procedures were selected according to the condition,severity of the splenic trauma and time of injury.Patients were followed up via outpatient examination or telephone interview till June 2014.Results Twenty-six patients had the history of injury of the left hypochodriac region,and were accompanied by slight abdominal pain and a short period of pain alleviation,and then pain in all regions of the abdomen at postoperative hour 48.All thepatients had pale face,tenderness,rebound tenderness or tonus.The pulse above 100 per minute was observed in 20 patients,and 15 patients had blood pressure under 90/60 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa).The level of hemoglobin under 5 g/L was observed in 3 patients,and 5-10 g/L in 21 patients.All the 26 patients received abdominal paracantesis,non-coagulating blood was extracted in 25 patients.Twenty-six patients received B ultrasonography,and 24 had splenic rupture.Nineteen patients received computed tomography (CT),and 19 had splenic rupture.Ten patients had type Ⅰ splenic rupture,12 had type Ⅱ splenic rupture,3 had type Ⅲ splenic rupture and 1 had type Ⅳ splenic rupture.All the 26 patients received operation,including 2 received suture of the ruptured spleen,2 received resection of the lower part of the spleen,9 received total splenic resection,and 13 received total splenic resection + autogeneous transplantation of greater omentum.Two patients died of hemorrhagic shock intraoperatively,and the other 24 patients were cured.The operation time and volume of hemoperitoneum were (90 ± 15)minutes and (1 500 ± 700) mL,respectively.Twenty-four patients received blood transfusion,with the volume of transfused blood of 1 200 mL.The mean duration of hospital stay was 16.7 days.Two patients had complications after the operation,which were left pleural effusion and splenic fossa effusion,and they were cured by symptomatic treatment.No infection or other complications were observed.All the 24 patients were followed up for 6-108 months (median,46 months).One patient died of myocardial infarction at postoperative year 5,and the other 23 patients survived.Conclusions B sonography and computed tomography are important methods for the treatment of delayed rupture of spleen.Traumatic delayed rupture of spleen should be considered when the patient had symptoms including history of injury of the left hypochondriac region,the course of abdominal pain,abdominal pain alleviation,abdominal pain recurrence,time for abdominal pain alleviation longer than 48 hours,interperitoneal hemorrhage and the signs of splenic rupture indicated by B ultrasonography and computed tomography.The indication of spleen-preservation surgery or splenectomy for patients with delayed rupture of spleen should be strictly controlled and optimal surgical procedure should be designed according to the condition of the patient.

Aim To investigate the effects of YMⅢ,a derivative of naftopidil, on the vascular contractive activities in rabbit aorta and to explore its vasodilative mechanisms.Methods The isotonic contractions of the thoracic aorta strips from rabbits were recorded, and the effects of YMⅢ on the concentration-response curves of noradrenaline(NA),high potassium and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)were observed.Intracellular free Ca2+([Ca2+]i)was investigated in the pressence of and the absence of YMⅢ in different conditions.Results YMⅢ(10-8,5?10-8,10-7 mol?L-1)shifted the concentration-response curve of NA with a parallel manner to right, the maximum response was unchanged and the pA2 value was 8.00; YMⅢ (10-5 mol?L-1)also shifted the concentration-response curve induced by high potassium to right but with non-parallel manner,the response was depressed and the pD′2 value was 4.26. However, YMⅢ(10-7,10-6,10-5 mol?L-1)had no statistical influence on the concentration-response curve induced by 5-HT, although it tended to depress the response of the curve at 10-5 mol?L-1.In Ca2+-free medium,YMⅢ (10-8,5?10-8 and 10-7mol?L-1) significantly inhibited the transient contraction induced by NA and the long-lasting one induced by addition of Ca2+ with a concentration-dependent manner.But even at 10-5 mol?L-1,it did not inhibit the contraction induced by caffeine.Conclusions YMⅢ may be ?-adrenergic receptor blocker.Its vasodilative mechanism may be related to:blocking ?-adrenergic receptor on cell membrane resulting in the inhibition on the influx of extracellular Ca2+ and the release of intracellular calcium.

Objective:To examine factors that may have impact on the Mini-Mental State Examination ( MMSE) screening validity, which could lead to further establishing the general model of the MMSE score in Chinese health elderly and to improve the screening accuracy of the existing MMSE reference. Methods:Based on the data of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey ( CLHLS ) , the MMSE scores of 19 117 normal elderly and 137 dementia patients who met the inclusion criteria were used for the analysis. The area under the curve ( AUC) and validity indexes were used to compare the screening accuracy of various criteria. Multiple linear regression was used to identify factors that had impact on the MMSE score for both the normal and dementia elderly. Descriptive analysis was performed for differences in the MMSE scores by age trends and gender between the normal and dementia elderly. Results:The AUC of MMSE was≥0 . 75 ( P<0 . 05 ) . The MMSE score of the normal elderly declined nonlinearly as the age grew older(male:R2 =0. 924, P<0. 05; female: R2 =0. 951, P<0. 05), and increased nonlinearly as the education level rose(male: R2 =0. 948, P <0. 05; female: R2 =0. 859, P<0. 05). The females had significantly lower MMSE scores than the males, with a faster decline trend with age than the males (95%CI of female partial regression coefficient was not overlapped with 95%CI of male partial regression coefficient) . The dementia elderly showed a much lower MMSE score ( male:difference of Z score:-1 . 573 , P<0 . 05;female:difference of Z score:-1 . 222 , P<0 . 05 ) and ten-ded to with a faster decline speed than that of the normal elderly (95%CI of dementia partial regression coefficient included 95%CI of normal partial regression coefficient) . Conclusion:The screening validity of MMSE in CLHLS is not affected by educational level. The analysis of factors that may impact on the MMSE screening validity are gender, age, vision and residence which with validity identification. These four fac-tors can be used as assist tool of MMSE in the screening of dementia to improve the screening accuracy.

Objective To assess the value of pulmonary vascular permeability index in differentiating acute lung injury (ALI) from cardiac pulmonary edema. Methods Critically ill patients with acute pulmonary edema were included from May, 2004 to September, 2008. Patients were divided into two groups, the ALI group and the cardiac pulmonary edema group (C group). Pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) , intrathoracic blood volume (ITBVI) were determined by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output(PiCCO) system. Results ( 1 ) Thirty-four patients were enrolled, 22 cases in ALI group and 12 cases in C group. (2) The PVPI in patients of ALI group (2.7 ± 1.4) was higher than that of C group (1.9 ±0.6 ;P＜0.05). EVLWI and ITBVI did not have the significant difference between the two groups (P ＞0. 05). (3) PVPI was positively correlated with EVLWI(r = 0. 762) , negatively correlated with PaO2/ FiO2(r= -0.478). (4)ARDS was diagnosed in 13 cases, including 8 pulmonary cause(ARDSp) and 5 extra-pulmonary cause ( ARDSexp). PVPI, EVLW/ITBV and EVLWI of patients with ARDSexp were obviously higher than those with ARDSp. Conclusions PVPI may be useful for differentiating the types of pulmonary edema in the critically ill.
