BACKGROUND:Recovery of motor and sensory function from peripheral nerve injury is relatively slow and incomplete. It is a difficult problem for orthopedic surgeons that mainly leads to the decline in the quality of life in patients.
OBJECTIVE: To conclude the methods and corresponding outcomes in peripheral nerve regeneration by analyzing the new treatment means for peripheral nerve injury.
METHODS:PubMed, Wanfang, CNKI databases were retrieved for relevant articles using key words of “nerve injury, regeneration”, and then retrieval data were sorted and analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In recent years, in-depth studies on peripheral nerve repair have been made in the folowing aspects: surgical mode, drug, cytokine, gene transfer and biomaterials as wel as traditional Chinese medicine. If the detect size is four times longer than the diameter of nerves, the nerve regeneration chamber can achieve good outcomes. The methods of restoring nerve continuity folowing nerve injury are developed from surgical anastomosis to photochemohistological method, thermal laser welding, plastic repair and other emerging technologies. Studies have found that plasminogen activator, nerve growth factor, neurotrophic factor, recombinant erythropoietin, human tissue kalikrein, B vitamins and their derivatives, herbal preparations, immunosuppressive agents al can promote nerve regeneration.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that craniocerebral injury can promote the repair of sciatic nerve injury in rats, but its precise mechanism remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To further explore the action mechanism of craniocerebral injury on the repair of sciatic nerve injury using morphology and histology.
METHODS:Sixty specific-pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups. Rats with craniocerebral injury and sciatic nerve injury were considered as the experimental group. Rats with simple sciatic nerve injury were considered as the control group. Classical Feeney method was used in models of craniocerebral injury and SunderlandV sciatic nerve injury. At 8 and 12 weeks after modeling, sciatic nerve index was detected. Masson staining and NF200 immunofluorescence staining were used to observethe nerve regeneration atthe anstomotic site. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the number of regenerative axons.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 8 and 12 weeks after modeling, compared with the control group, gait and sciatic nerve index recovered better in the experimental group. In the experimental group, Masson staining showed fewer nerve membrane colagen fibers, and the axon arranged neatly.NF200 immunohistochemistry showed that in the experimental group, the density of regenerated nerves was high, and nerveswere regularly distributed. Transmission electron microscopy showed that in the experimental group, regenerative axons were regularly arranged, colagen scar was less, and myelin layer arranged regularly. Results suggested that the craniocerebral injury in rats may promote the repair of peripheral nerve injury by reducing scar colagen in nerve endings.

Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and analyze the risk factors of patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning combined with shock.Methods:The clinical data of patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning admitted to the Peking University Third Hospital and the Fifth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital between January 2019 and September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and demographic data, poisoning, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, therapeutic measures and clinical outcomes were collected to establish a clinical database. The patients were divided into two groups: the shock group and the non-shock group, and the clinical data were compared between the two groups to analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of shock in acute dichlorvos poisoning, and the risk factors of shock in acute dichlorvos poisoning were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:A total of 134 patients who met the criteria for acute dichlorvos poisoning were included in this study; the incidence of shock within 24 hours of admission was 39.6% (53/134), and 11 patients (8.21%) died in hospital; the in-hospital morbidity and mortality rate of patients in the shock group was higher than that in the non-shock group (20.8% vs. 0.0%, P<0.001). Symptoms of sphincter relaxation, coma, hypothermia, and organ function damage were more common in the shock group than in the non-shock group; and shock patients had longer hospitalization, ICU stay, and invasive ventilator use. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of sphincter relaxation manifestations ( OR=10.888, 95% CI: 1.677-70.684, P=0.012) was an independent risk factor for comorbid shock in patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning, and the use of cholinesterase reanimators ( OR=0.246, 95% CI: 0.072-0.846, P=0.026) was a protective factor for combined shock in patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning. Conclusions:The incidence of shock in patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning is high and affects the clinical prognosis, and the presence of sphincter relaxation and the absence of cholinesterase reenergizers are independent risk factors for combined shock in patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning.

Objective:To conduct a scoping review to analyse the types, performance, advantages and disadvantages of cognitive function assessment tools for ICU patients, to provide a reference for the evaluation of cognitive function in ICU patients in future.Methods:A scoping review study was conducted, literature on cognitive function assessment tools for ICU patients in 9 domestic and foreign databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase and CINAHL were systematically searched. The search period was from the establishment of the database to May 20, 2024. Literature was independently screened by 2 researchers and relevant information was extracted and summarized.Results:Totally 17 studies were included, with 9 tools for assessing cognitive function in ICU patients, including 6 questionnaires, 1 test battery, 1 assessment software, and 1 telephone interview questionnaire. All of above were generalizable tools, except for the Chinese and English versions of the John-Hopkins Adapted Cognitive Exam as ICU-specific tools. The Mini-Mental State Examination was the most widely used assessment scale.Conclusions:Appropriate assessment tools should be selected according to the specific clinical setting, but there is still a lack of specialized and standardized assessment tools for cognitive dysfunction in ICU patients. In the future, standardized tools which fit our cultural context for evaluating cognitive function in ICU patients should be developed.
