Objective To investigate early changes of angiopoietin-2(Ang-2)in multiple trauma patients and assess its clinical significance.Methods Forty-five multiple trauma patients aged 2060 years admitted to the hospital within one hour after injury were randomly divided into three groups according to injury severity score(ISS).Blood specimens were obtained immediately upon arrival in the emergency department and plasma samples were assayed for comparing changes of Ang-2,TNF-a and IL-6.Meanwhile,plasma level of Ang-2 was measured and analyzed under different oxygenation index,shock index and base deficit.Results Plasma level of Ang-2 was positively correlated with ISS(P ＜ 0.01)and was concordant with the plasma levels of TNF-a and IL-6(P＜0.01).Furthermore,plasma level of Ang-2 was elevated upon increase of shock index or decrease of oxygenation index(P ＜ 0.01).Plasma level of Ang-2 was elevated with the increase of base deficit(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions High level of Ang-2 is a marker of endothelial activation and dysfunction early after trauma.Ang-2 is related tightly with the injury severity,inflammation factors,systemic oxygenation and tissue hypoperfusion and may have a tight relation with pathophysiological development and clinical outcome after trauma.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value and limits of 64-slice spiral coronary artery imaging,by com- parison with selective coronary angiography,in detection of coronary heart disease.Methods Fourty-two patients sus- pected CAD were performed 64-slice spiral CT coronary imaging and selective coronary artery angiography in two weeks, comparative analysis of results were progressed consequently.Results The sensitivity,specificity and positive and nega- tive predictive value to identify≥50% stenosis branches was 90.5%,96.6%,85.9% and 97.8%,respectively.The sen- sitivity,specificity and positive and negative predictive value to identify≥75% stenosis branches was 93.5%,98.9%, 87.9% and99.4%,respectively.Conclusion As a noinvasive quantitative assessment of coronary artery stenoses exami- nation,64-slice spiral CT is a valuable method to detect and diagnose the disease of coronary artery,but its clinical use maybe presently be limited due to image quality in a number of cases.

Objective To study the efficacy of transcutaneous prostaglandin E 1( PGE 1) cream in relaxing the vascular spasm in rabbits, to find an ideal vascular dilation drug. Methods Sixty rabbits were randomly divided into six groups:experiment group 1(using 0.1% transcutaneous PGE 1 cream),experiment group 2(using 0.2% transcutaneous PGE 1 cream),experiment group 3(using 0.4% transcutaneous PGE 1 cream), experiment group 4( using 0.8% transcutaneous PGE 1 cream),PGE 1 control group (without using transcutaneous PGE 1 cream, but using PGE 1 cream only),control group(withous using PGE 1). 0.1% adrenlin was injected to the root of the rabbite ear to induce a model of vascular spasm. After a typical vascular spasm appeared,transcutaneou PGE 1 cream or PGE 1 cream was used on the skin of the ear. The vascular diameter and blood folw rate of the ear were determined before adrenalin injection, 10min after vascular spasm and 10,15,30,60,90 and 120 min after the drugs were used. Results The vascular diameters and blood flow rate were recovered to the levels of before adrenalin injection in experimental group 3, 4 after topical used of transcutaneous PGE 1 cream, and those parameters were significamly increased compared with other 4 groups(P0.05). Conclusions Tramscutameou PGE 1 cream can effectively relax the vascular spasm caused be adrenalin injection.The effect of vascular dilation is related to the dosage of the drug. Transcutaneous PGE 1 cream as a topical vascular dilation drug has advantages snch as wide indications,taking effect quick and enduring, and less side effect. So it might be a new simple, safe and effective drug for the treatment of vascular spasm.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of acupuncture on pelvic floor muscles and urinary function in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods From March, 2012 to March, 2015, 23 patients with spinal cord injury were divided into control group (n=8), early intervention group (n=8) and later intervention group (n=7). The control group received routine rehabilitation, the intervention groups received acupuncture at Baliao (BL-31, BL-32, BL-33 BL-34), Yanglingquan (GB-34), Sanyinjiao (SP-6) and Taichong (LR-3) acupoints in addition. The early intervention group was acupunctured one week before removal of catheter, and the later intervention group adopted inter-mittent catheterization after removal of catheter, and then received acupuncture. The pelvic floor muscles strength, the urine function and quality of life were recorded before and six weeks after intervention. Results There was no significant difference in all the indices before in-tervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the pelvic floor muscles strength improved in the intervention groups compared with the control group (P<0.05). There was significant difference in the mean frequency of urinary voiding, bladder capacity, time of establishing reflect uri-nation and residual volume of urine after intervention among all the groups (P<0.05), except the mean frequency of urinary voiding and blad-der capacity between the control group and the later intervention group (P>0.05). The quality of life improved in all the groups after inter-vention (F>0.864, P<0.05), however, no significant difference was found among three groups (F=1.558, P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture, especially early acupuncture, could improve the pelvic floor muscle strength and bladder function in spinal cord injury patients.

BACKGROUND: Implantation of artificial joint of bone cement can result in long-term blocking of recipient site medullary canal and blood vessel lesion, and lead to changes in intraosseous pressure and bone blood flow of distal femoral shaft.OBJECTIVE: To explore the changes in the intraosseous pressure and bone blood flow of distal femoral shaft after blockage of the proximal and middle femoral medullary canal by bone cement.DESIGN: Controlled observation.SETTING: People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed at the Experimental Animal Center of Chongqing Medical University between July 2002 and April 2003. Thirty-two healthy adult New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into model group (n=24) and control group (n=8). Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) TJ bone cement was provided by Tianjin Synthetic Materials Research Institute.METHODS: The rabbit model was established by infusing femoral medullary canal of left side with PMMA. The lateral greater trochanter of anesthetized rabbits were resected below the third trochanter through spatium intermusculare by posterior lateral femur approach, but the neck of femur was remained to expose intertrochanteric fossa and entry of medullary canal following by intramedullary reaming to 1/2 length of femur. The wound was washed repeatedly to remove the destroyed myeioid tissues, and was dried with gauze. Bone cement was prepared by manually stirring powder with solution at a ratio of 2:1, until dough shape formed. A small piece of dough-shaped bone cement was filled in middle femoral stenosis as cavity blocker. Ten minutes later, the solidified bone cement was re-blended until dough shape and implanted into medullary canal fully. When the bone cement was completely solidified, the incision was sutured. The 24-modeled rabbits were randomly divided into 4 subgroups according to the following observation time points (n=6): postoperative 0 day (T0),4th week (T4), 8th week (T8) and 16th week (T16).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Physiological pressure-measuring instrument was used to detect and compare the intraosseous pressure of bilateral distal femoral medullary canal of the model and control groups. ②Radionuclide bone imaging was used to detect and compare the dynamic and static images of bilateral distal femoral of the rabbit models at different time points.RESULTS: Thirty-two rabbits were all included in final analysis with no loss. ①There were no significant differences in the intraosseous pressure between the distal femurs in normal rabbits (P＞0.05); the pressure of the experimental side increased significantly compared with control side (P＜0.01). In model group, there were no significant differences in the intraosseous pressure between the control sides of rabbits at different time points (P＞0.05), but the experimental sides presented continuous high intraosseous pressure state. The pressure of T4 was higher than that of T16 (P＜0.05); there were no significant differences between any other two time points (P＞0.05). ②Compared with the dynamic and static images at different time-points, the counting of nuclide in the experimental sides was markedly lower than the control sides at T0 and T4 while higher at T8 and T16; the count reached the peak at T16. There were no significant differences in the nuclide counting ratio between T0 and T8, T0 and T16, T4 and T16, T8 and T16, T4 and T8, respectively except T0 and T4 (P＜0.05). The dynamic and static radionuclide bone imaging showed the same changes.CONCLUSION: The intraosseous and intramedullary blood circulation is severely damaged after blocking of the proximal and middle femoral medullary canal with bone cement, resulting in local alterations of hymodynamics, a series of changes in intraosseous pressure and bone blood flow in the distal femur, which causes continuous and a long-term high intraosseous pressure.
