Objective To evaluate the physiological variables,which precisely and reliably reflected the effect of emergency fluid therapy for severely traumatized patients, in order to set up the ultimate criteria of optimal goal in fluid resuscitation. Method A total of 149 patients with severe trauma were given fluid resuscitation and were stratified into 3 groups with different severities of trauma as per ISS (injury severity score) and APACHE Ⅱ . Of all patients, heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SaO2), blood gas analysis, arterial blood lactate (ABL), oxygen saturation of central venous blood (SCVO2) or oxygen saturation of mixed venous blood (SVC2), urine output, base excess (BE) and oxygenation index (OI = PaO2/FiO2) were measured and calculated. These variables were compared between groups to find out the significant differences and the relationship to response time to fluid therapy as well as complications and outcomes. Results Within 24 hours of fluid resuscitation, 127 patients reached the therapeutic goal in respect of systemic hemodynamics improved including the variables of SBP, HR and urine output, and the optimal goal of fluid therapy in 112 patients was estimated with cellular oxygen available found in the levels of ABL, BE and OI measured. These two sets of criteria (clinical signs vs laboratory findings) for determining the therapeutic goal showed significant difference in length of time taken for reaching the goal of treatment ( P < 0.05). There were significant differences in APACHE Ⅱ scores between those reaching the therapeutic goal within 24 hours and those taking longer time over 24 hours reaching the therapeutic goal or the death (P < 0.01). The duration of persistence in abnormal systemic hemody-namics and laboratory findings was longer in patients with complications or injured to death than that in survivors (P <0.05 -0.01). Conclusions In addition to the stability of vital signs, tissue perfusion and cellular oxy-genation should be taken as ultimate criteria of successful fluid resuscitation for severely traumatized patients judged by means of measuring the ABL, BE and OI variables.

Objective To observe the changes in cytokines, oxygen free radicals, acidulous production in serum and to investigate the effectiveness of monitoring metabolism of cells and the method for evaluating cell injury in patients with severe trauma. Method The detailed data of 117 patients rescued and managed carefully from May 2005 to February 2007 were assessed and stratified with ISS and APACHE Ⅱ , and the serum levels of arterial blood lactate(ABL) ,base deficit(BD) ,superoxide(SOD) ,lipid peroxide(LPO) ,TNF-α and IL-6 were measured in real-time according to the condition of the patient. Results The monitoring biomarkers obviously changed with injury severity which endangered the situation of patients after trauma (P < 0.05) , especially in the patients with ischemia , hypoxia, shock, iniection, SIRS, and MODS (P < 0.01). The persistence of extremely elevated levels of biomarkers meant the organ failure and fatality of patients after trauma, and there was a obvious differece between those cases and cases without elevation of biomarkers ( P < 0.01). Conclusions The outcome of patients after trauma is closely correlated with injury severity,infection and MODS,and the levels of biomarkers including ABL, SOD, IPO, TNF-a and IL-6 are useful indicators of outcome measure.

Objective To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of compassion fatigue among nurses in psychiatric hospitals. Methods The self-designed demographic questionnaire,compassion fatigue scale,occupation-al identity assessment scale and social support rating scale were employed to investigate 480 nurses in five psychi-atric hospitals from two provinces. Results The scores for each dimension in compassion fatigue scale were as fol-lows:compassion satisfaction(32.26±5.34),occupational burnout(27.67±4.34),and secondary traumatic stress(23.72± 4.41).Age,position,individual monthly income,health status,job satisfaction and occupational identity had significant influence on compassion satisfaction(F=19.351,P<0.001). Individual monthly income,health status,job satisfaction and occupational identity had significant influence on occupation burnout (F=35.705,P<0.001). Individual monthly income, personality and social support had significant influence on secondary traumatic stress(F=17.203,P<0.001). Conclusion Nurses in psychiatric hospitals had severe compassion fatigue and this status was influenced by multiple reasons. Nursing managers should pay great attention to nurses with low monthly income,poor health,low job satisfaction, weak social support and low occupational identity,and take effective measures to decrease compassion fatigue of nurses.

The R (replicase) protein is the uniquely defined non-structural protein (NSP) responsible for RNA replication, mutation rate or fidelity, regulation of transcription in coronaviruses and many other ssRNA viruses. Based on our complete genome sequences of four isolates (BJ01-BJ04) of SARS-CoV from Beijing, China, we analyzed the structure and predicted functions of the R protein in comparison with 13 other isolates of SARS-CoV and 6 other coronaviruses. The entire ORF (open-reading frame) encodes for two major enzyme activities, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and proteinase activities. The R polyprotein undergoes a complex proteolytic process to produce 15 function-related peptides. A hydrophobic domain (HOD) and a hydrophilic domain (HID) are newly identified within NSP1. The substitution rate of the R protein is close to the average of the SARS-CoV genome. The functional domains in all NSPs of the R protein give different phylogenetic results that suggest their different mutation rate under selective pressure. Eleven highly conserved regions in RdRp and twelve cleavage sites by 3CLP (chymotrypsin-like protein) have been identified as potential drug targets. Findings suggest that it is possible to obtain information about the phylogeny of SARS-CoV, as well as potential tools for drug design, genotyping and diagnostics of SARS.

The Coronaviridae family is characterized by a nucleocapsid that is composed of the genome RNA molecule in combination with the nucleoprotein (N protein) within a virion. The most striking physiochemical feature of the N protein of SARS-CoV is that it is a typical basic protein with a high predicted pI and high hydrophilicity, which is consistent with its function of binding to the ribophosphate backbone of the RNA molecule. The predicted high extent of phosphorylation of the N protein on multiple candidate phosphorylation sites demonstrates that it would be related to important functions, such as RNA-binding and localization to the nucleolus of host cells. Subsequent study shows that there is an SR-rich region in the N protein and this region might be involved in the protein-protein interaction. The abundant antigenic sites predicted in the N protein, as well as experimental evidence with synthesized polypeptides, indicate that the N protein is one of the major antigens of the SARS-CoV. Compared with other viral structural proteins, the low variation rate of the N protein with regards to its size suggests its importance to the survival of the virus.
