[Objective]To assess the early diagnosis and treatment and outcome of patients with crush syndrome in earthquake disaster.[Method]We conducted a retrospective analysis of 27 patients with crush syndrome and subsequent acute renal failure (ARF) and wound complication who were treated in our university hospital.All of patients had been extricated from buildings that collapsed in the Wenchuan earthquake.Crush injury involved the upper extremities and low extremities.Each patient received intravenous fluids and diuretic drugs.Twenty-one patients received hemodialysis.Emergency fasciotomy performed in 11 patients and amputation were performed in 16 patients,4 to 102 hours after extrication.[Result]No patient died.Twenty-one patients among the ARF patients were retracted from hemodialysis.Among the patients who were performed fasciotomy or amputation,13 patients had wound complication including infection,however,the wounds in 10 patients were healed by dressing change,debridement and coordinate treatment with ICU and related subjectives.[Conclusion]Crush syndrome requires urgent recognition and prompt surgical treatment with simultaneous measures to control hyperkalemia and ARF.Wound healing is a difficult task for the crush syndrome patients.The authors believe that immediate intensive care therapy and multisubjective coordination would improve the survival rate.

BACKGROUND:Lumbar disc herniation is the most common cause of lumbago in clinic, which seriously affect the patient's daily life, study and work. Therefore, studies on biomechanics of lumbar intervertebral disk benefit to prevent and treat the diseases associated with lumbar intervertebral disk. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the biomechanical progress of lumbar intervertebral disk. METHODS: The first author retrieved China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed database for literatures published from 2009 to 2014. The key words were intervertebral disc, nucleus pulposus, biomechanics, fibrosis annulus, cartilage in Chinese and English, respectively. Articles regarding biomechanical characteristics of lumbar intervertebral disk, nucleus pulposus, fibrosis annulus and cartilage were included, and repetitive studies were excluded. Totaly 5 072 articles were retrieved initialy. In accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria, 41 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We can fuly understand the pathogenesis, development and adverse consequences of diseases related to the lumbar intervertebral disk by summarizing the structural features and internal pressure of lumbar intervertebral disk and the effect of different loads, biomechanical characteristics of lumbar intervertebral disk with degenerative changes and establishment of mechanical model of lumbar intervertebral disk. It is of directive significance for daily health care of the lumbar intervertebral disk and how to better use force, a physical factor, to solve the lumbar intervertebral disk problems.

Objective To study the effect of plant Coleus forskohlii active elements Isoforskolin(ISOF)and CT-E(analogs mixture of Isoforskolin)on human neutrophill(PMN)in vitro in order to uncover the mechanism of their properties of mitigating acute lung injury(ALI).Method The effects of ISOF and CF-E on PMN aggregation induced by N-formyl-methiony-leucyl-phenylalanine(fMLP)was performed by using a 4-channel platelet aggregometer.Cytometry Was applied to analyze the effect of tested samples on adhension between PMN and endothelial cells(ECV-304)activated by using lipopolysaccharides(LPS).Expression of LPS-induced PMN adhension molecules was determined with flow cytometry.Radioimmunoassay Was applied to detect the level of TNT-α liberated bv PMN and intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)level of PMN.Results It was found that ISOF(25,50,100 μmnol/L)and CF-E(1.25,2.5,5 mg/ml)inhibitted PMN aggregation induced by fMLP,PMN adhemion to ECV-304 indeed by LPS,expression of PMN adhesion molecules,and TNF-α level released by PMN.ISOF and CF-E also increased intracellular cAMP level of PMN.Condusions ISOF and CF-E inhibit PMN aggregation,adhension and adhension molecules,and TNF-α released by PMN,while they increase intracellular cAniP level of PMN.It suggests that their specific alleviating the ALI by the mechanism of the modulation of PMN function.

This article was aimed to study the different clinical characteristics using drug pair of Cassia twig and white peony root with the contents ratio of 1:1 and 1:2. Based on the different clinical treatment of drug pair of Cas-sia twig and white peony root, different compositional ingredients in ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 were illuminated by HPLC/MS method. The drug pair of Cassia twig and white peony roots in ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 and single herbs were ex-tracted for HPLC/MS analysis. A protocol was followed, including acetonitrile - 0.1% acetic acid with gradient elution, positive mode, 350℃ capillary temperature and 300℃ vaporization temperature. The results showed that Procyanidol B2 and 2-Hydroxy cinnamal dehyde can be extracted from single Cassia twig, but 2-Hydroxy cinna-mal dehyde cannot be detected in drug pair. It showed the contents of Procyanidol B2 in 1:1 ratio was more than 1:2 ratio. Simultaneously, Palbinone, paeoniflorin sulfonate, 1,2,3,6-Tetra-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose, Paeoniflorin, Pae-oniflorin isomers, Benzoylpaeo-niflorin, and Benzoyl Paeoniflorin isomers can also be dissolved in white peony root. In addition, the contents of 1,2,3,6-Tetra-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose, Paeoniflorin, Benzoylpaeo-niflorin, and Benzoyl Paeoniflorin isomers in 1:1 were more than 1:2. The contents of Palbinone, paeoniflorin sulfonate and Paeoniflorin isomers in 1:2 were more than 1:1. It was concluded that Procyanidol B2, 1,2,3,6-Tetra-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose, Paeoniflorin, Benzoylpaeo-niflorin and Benzoyl Paeoniflorin isomers in 1:1 were more than 1:2. The contents of Pal-binone, Paeoniflorin sulfonate and Paeoniflorin isomers in 1:2 were more than 1:1. It provided a scientific basis for traditional Chinese medicine treatment using rational drug pair.
