Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of unintentional injuries among children patients at age of ≤ 14 years so as to provide scientific basis for prevention of the children injury. Methods ICD-10 coding was used to retrospectively analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the children patients with unintentional injuries at age of ≤ 14 years admitted from January to December 2009 and the factors affecting the prognosis were discussed. Results There were 3011 patients, with 1991 males (66.12%) and 1 020 females (33.88%). The patients at ages of < 1, 1-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years accounted for 8.24%, 53.30%, 27.90% and 10.56% respectively. The patients from the rural and urban areas accounted for 56.16% and 43.84% respectively. Trauma was the leading sort of injuries in four age groups, accounting for 70.56%, 62.68%, 89.64% and 87.74% respectively. Fall from height was the first cause of unintentional injuries in four age groups, with proportion for 47.58%,36.39%, 51.90% and 56.29% respectively. Muhinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that hospital stay, therapeutic mode ( operation/non-operation), inhabitancy ( urban/rural), causes of injuries and injury severity on admission were the risk factors affecting the prognosis (P < 0.05 ). The rural areas caused higher risk of disability than the urban areas ( OR = 2. 170 ,P < 0.01 ) and non-operation produced higher risk of death than operation (OR = 6.352,P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions The male patients with unintentional injury are more than the female ones, with the highest incidence rate in children at age of 1-4years. Trauma is the main kind of unintentional injury and the fall from height the leading cause of injury.The difference of the rural and urban areas indicates that correct choice of the preventive measures based oh the condition of the local area can attain effective prevention and control of the unintentional injuries.

Objective To study the causes, prophylaxis, and treatment of the severe complications due to transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate (TVP). Methods We analyzed the complications found in 1 910 men with moderate and severe symptoms of prostatism treated with TVP from August 1997 to February 2003 and studied the causes, prophylaxis, and treatment of the severe complications due to TVP. Results Severe complications were found in 78 cases (4.1%). Late mass bleeding in 35 cases (0.18%) was resulted from the abscission of coagulated necrotic tissue of the prostate after TVP. Extraperitoneal water extravasation (hydrocele) in 27 cases (0.14%) was caused by the early incision of the peritoneum in TVP and could be prevented by avoiding early incision of the peritoneum and stopping operation in time. Severe urethral stricture in 9 cases (0.05%) was caused by using thick sheath of cystoscope and cutting the neck of urinary bladder improperly. Urinary bladder explosion in 2 cases (0.01%) was caused by accumulation of air during the process of TVP, but could be protected by removing the air and water in urinary bladder at intervals. Incontinence in 2 cases (0.01%) was resulted from the injured urinary sphincter muscle. Acute renal failure in 3 cases (0.015%) was caused by hypotension. Conclusion Severe complications due to TVP can be prevented and treated. The occurrence rate of severe complications can be decreased by the proper preventive measures and skilled techniques of the operators.
