OBJECTIVE:
To compare the hemostatic effects of local packing of Nasopore combined with hemocoagulase injection and local packing of Nasopore combined with saline injection for postoperative management of functional endoscopic sinus surgery by a double-blind, randomized control clinical trial.
METHOD:
Sixty-eight cases of chronic sinusitis needed functional endoscopic sinus surgery were randomly divided into the experimental group of 40 cases and control group of 28 cases, respectively. For the experimental group, 1 U of hemocoagulase dissolved in 0.5 ml saline was injected into Nasopore which was packed into the nasal cavity after operation. For the control group, 0.5 ml of saline was injected. The postoperative bleeding of the two groups were scored by visual analogue scale.
RESULT:
There was statistically significant difference between the bleeding VAS scores assessed 6 hours and the ones assessed 1, 2 and 3 days after the operation in the control group (P < 0.05). There was the statistically significant difference between the bleeding VAS scores of experimental group and control group assessed 6 h after the operation (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The hemocoagulase may improve the hemostatic effect of Nasopore 6 hours after the operation by combined injection with Nasopore as nasal cavity packing.

Objective To investigate the effect of gradient heat stress on phagocytosis of hepatic Kupffer cells (KCs) in vitro in rats. Methods Rat Kupffer cells were isolated in vitro and the temperature for gradient heat stress was set at 37, 39, 41 and 43℃. After thermal stimulation, cell injury was detected by PI and Hochest33342 staining. CCK-8 assay was used to investigate difference in cellular proliferation rate over 24h between the groups. Flow cytometry was used to investigate the influence of heat stress on the phagocytosis of KCs. Results Compared to the normal control group, cells in each heat stress group exhibited varying degrees of damage, especially cells in 43℃ group. The ratio of damage cells increased with the increase of heat stress severity (P<0.05). Proliferation assay indicated that the proliferation rate of cells in each heat stress group was significantly decreased in comparison with normal control group 6h after heat stress (P<0.05). After 12h recovery, decrease in proliferation rate was observed only in 43℃ group (P<0.001), and no difference in the rate of proliferation could be observed between the heat stress groups and normal control group after 24h recovery. Flow cytometry showed, that the phagocytosis of KCs decreased in heat stress groups compared with control group, especially in 43℃ group (P<0.05). This phenomenon disappeared after 24h recovery. Conclusion Heat stress can inhibit the phagocytosis of rat liver KCs through its cytotoxic effect on KCs, and subsequently inhibits its proliferative ability. Further investigation of the effect of heat stress on KCs may help understand the pathogenesis of heat stress.

Objective To prepare mouse model with heat stress and determine its pathological changes of the lung and brain during heat stress. Methods BALB/c mouse were randomly (random number) divided into two groups, control group and heat stress group. The animals in the control group were sham- heated at a temperature of ( 25 ± 0.5) ℃ and humidity of (35 ± 5 ) %. The animals of heat stress group were placed in a prewarmed incubator maintained at (35.5 ± 0.5) ℃ and relative humidity of (60 ± 5) %. Rectal temperature (Tc) was monitored, and when Tc respectively reached 39 ℃, 40 ℃ , 41 ℃ and 42 ℃, those study animals were killed. The other animals were removed from the incubator and allowed to cool at an ambient temperature of (25 ±0. 5)℃ and humidity of (35 ±5)% , respectirvely for 12 and 24 hrs when Tc reached 41 ℃ , and for 6 hrs when Tc reached 42 ℃. The lung and brain of all the animals were isolated. Hematoxylin and eosin stain and light microscope were used to detect their pathological changes. Results All the animals displayed uniform response to the heat stress. Low degree of heat stress could induced obviously pathological changes of the lung, progressively greater damage to lung with further congestion of lung matrix, asystematic hemorrhage of alveolar space, abscission of alveolar epithelial cell and disappear of pulmonary alveolus tissue structure were detected with the rise of Tc to 42 ℃. However, absorption of congestion and hemorrhage and recovery of pulmonary alveolus tissue structure could also be seen with cooling at ambient temperature. With low degree of heat stress, the brain only showed moderate edema. Neuronal denaturation and necrosis were detected when Tc reached to 42 ℃. Interestingly, the lesions of brain further aggravated even through cooling treatment after Tc reached to 42 ℃ , but recovery could been observed after cooling treatment followed with Tc of 41 ℃. Conclusions The pathological changes of the lung and brain showed distinctive lesions to heat stress and cooling treatment, and these changes were correlated with the timing and time of cooling treatment, which provide the experimental basis to further study the mechanisms between the heatstroke and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

BACKGROUND: It is often found in the clinic that apart from oppression and instability, there is much difference in sensibility and motion function recovery in patients who have similar imageological changes. Studies show that adhesion in the dura mater of spinal cord, traction of fibrous strip,traumatic scar, malacosis and cyst are the main causes.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effects of spinal decompression and nerve tissue implantation for obsolete incomplete paralysis.DESIGN: Self-control observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Changhai Hospital of Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: We selected 28 patients with traumatic obsolete incom plete paralysis from the Department of Orthopaedics, Changhai Hospital of Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA, from June 1994 to August 2002. Injured vertebral segments were T7-T9 (5 cases), T10-T12 (12 cases), and L1-2(11 cases). Sixteen patients had undergone decompression, fusion and internal fixation. Thirteen cases of them had undergone posterior decompression and pedicle screw internal fixation. The internal fixation devices had been removed in 7 patients before this procedure. Six cases of traumatic obsolete incomplete paralysis had been treated by hyperbaric oxygen. According to the classification of Frankel, 16 cases were degree B and 12 cases were degree C.METHODS: The dura mater of spinal cord was opened, and the fibrous bands adhering to the spinal cord from arachnoid, pia mater spinalis, ligamenta denticulatum, initial part of nerve root were complete relieved. Then the spinal cord with scar fibers contracted was opened by 3-6 incisions,which were 0.1-0.2 mm deep and longer than the scar part. Cyst found in the spinal cord in 6 cases was opened and the liquid in it was sucked. After that, we denuded spineurium and perineurium of the autogenous sural nerve graft, making the texture and appearance of the nerve look like cauda equine. The nerve was lined in several strips and longitudinally implanted into the incised spinal cord and cyst, and then it was sutured with pia mater spinalis with 9-0 scatheless wire. Finally the endorachis was sutured or covered by sacrospinal muscle.RESULTS: Sixteen cases were followed up for an average of 2.5 years, and all the patients entered the result analysis. The sensibility and motion func tion increased above one grade. Eleven patients who had suffered gatism had obvious progress. The strength of main muscle was increased by 2 grades and reached grade 4 in 16 cases, and walking capability was recovered. In 10 cases it was increased by 1 grade Only sensation had progress in 2 cases.CONCLUSION: Relieving adhesion in the endorhachis, incising the cicatricial spinal cord and bridging the autogenous peripheral nerve have good therapeutic results for gatism and recovering the muscle power of the ex-tremities for the patients with traumatic obsolete incomplete paralysis.
