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 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 observe the effect of cognition training on the motor and executive functioning of patients after a basal ganglia stroke.Methods Thirty patients with basal ganglia stroke were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group.The control group received standard stroke rehabilitation training,while the treatment group received in addition 2 months of cognitive function training.The executive and motor functions of all of the subjects and their facility in the activities of daily living (ADL) were tested using the Tower of Hanoi,the Wisconsin card sorting test,a Stroop-3 test and the Fugl-Meyer assessment,the Berg balance scale and the modified Barthel index before and at the end of treatment.Results After two months of training,both within-group and between group comparisons showed that the treatment group had improved significantly more in executive function,cognition and motor function.Conclusion Cognition training can improve executive function,motor function and ADL performance after a basal ganglia stroke.

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.
