Objective To explore the clinical effect of continuous infusion of dopamine and furosemide on elderly patients with refractory heart failure.Methods 76 elderly patients with heart failure were selected as the observation subjects,they were randomly divided into observation group and control group,38 cases in each group.The control group was given oxygen inhalation,the expansion of vascular,cardiac and other conventional treatment.The observation group was given conventional treatment and continuous infusion of dopamine and furosemide.Clinical efficacy and cardiac function improvement were compared between the two groups.Restlts The effective rate of observation group was 92.1％,which was higher than that of the control group (73.7％) (x2 =10.29,P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the improvement of cardiac function between the two groups had significant difference (t =15.94,10.18,all P ＜0.05).Conclusion Continuous infusion of dopamine and furosemide in treatment of elderly patients with refractory heart failure could improve heart function,enhance curative effect.

Objective To investigate the incidence of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), the relationship between ARAS and cerebral artery stenosis, and the risk of ARAS in patients with brain infarction. Methods The clinical data of 1 650 brain infarction patients were analyzed, which were carried out digital subtraction angiography(DSA) of cerebral and renal artery.The incidence of ARAS was counted out, and the relationship was analyzed between the different degree and number of cerebral artery stenosis and the rate of RAS. The demographic characteristics and the common risk factors of atherosclerosis were recorded, and the risk factors of ARAS were analyzed. Results The rate of ARAS in moderate stenosis group and severe stenosis and occlusion group of cerebral artery were all significantly higher than that in mild stenosis group and no stenosis group (all P < 0.01). The rates of ARAS in severe stenosis and occlusion group were significantly significantly higher than those in moderate stenosis group (P < 0.01). The rates of ARAS in 2 branch stenosis group and ≥3 branch stenosis group were both significantly higher than those in no stenosis group and 1 branch stenosis group (P < 0.01). The rates of ARAS of ≥3 branch stenosis group were significantly higher than those in 2 branch stenosis group (P<0.05). The rate of ARAS of 1 branch stenosis group were significantly higher than those in no stenosis group (P < 0.05). Age, hypertension, moderate or more artery stenosis or occlusion, and≥2 branch stenosis was independent risk factor of ARAS. Conclusions The incidence of ARAS increasesd with the increase of the degree of cerebral artery stenosis and the number of branch involved.Older age, hypertension, moderate or more artery stenosis or occlusion, and≥2 branch stenosis is risk factor for ARAS.

ObjectiveTo apply resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging in acute mild traumatic brain injury. MethodsFrom May, 2019 to May, 2021, 47 cases with acute mild traumatic brain injury in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were selected as observation group, and 50 healthy people who visited for routine physical examination during the same period were as control group. They were scanned with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), and they were assessed with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (RBMT). ResultsCompared with the control group, the scores of MMSE, MoCA and RBMT decreased in the observation group (t > 18.138, P < 0.001); while ALFF decreased in the brain areas of posterior cerebellar lobe, cerebellar tonsils, lower half moon lobules, right superior temporal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, right parietal lobe and right central posterior gyrus, etc; and ALFF increased in the brain areas of marginal lobe, cingulate gyrus, precuneus, left cerebellar, right superior temporal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, right superior frontal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, right inferior frontal gyrus, etc. ConclusionThere are disorders in multiple brain areas for patients after acute mild traumatic brain injury, which may associate to the cognitive impairment.

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a global public health emergency on 31 January 2020. Emergency medicine procedures in Emergency Department should be optimized to cope with the current COVID-19 pandemic by providing subspecialty services, reducing the spread of nosocomial infections, and promoting its capabilities to handle emerging diseases. Thus, the Chinese Society of Emergency Medicine and Wuhan Society of Emergency Medicine drafted this consensus together to address concerns of medical staffs who work in Emergency Department. Based on in-depth review of COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment plans, literatures, as well as management approval, this consensus proposes recommendations for improving the rationalization and efficiency of emergency processes, reducing the risk of nosocomial infections, preventing hospital viral transmission, and ensuring patient safety.
