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 investigate the application value of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography(TCD) in critically ill children with cerebral dysfunction.Methods We detected the cerebral blood flow parameters[systolic velocity(Vs),mean velocity(Vm),end of diastolic velocity(Vd),pulsatility index(PI),resistance index(RI)] of middle cerebral artery in cerebral dysfunction group(n=20) and control group(no cerebral dysfunction,n=20),and observed the differences of those parameters between two groups.Children in cerebral dysfunction group were also divided into groups according to Glasgow Coma Score(GCS) and prognosis.The differences of each TCD parameter in diverse groups divided by GCS and by prognosis were analysed.Children in cerebral dysfunction group were checked TCD everyday until TCD parameters were normal.The relation between the days of TCD parameters′ reaching normal and GCS,duration of disorder of consciousness with correlation analysis were analysed.Results Vs,PI,RI in cerebral dysfunction group were higher than those in control group,while Vd was lower (P<0.05).(2)PI in the group of GCS less than 6 points(0.91±0.21) was higher than that in group of GCS 7-13 points(0.83±0.14)(P<0.05).The other parameters between two groups of GCS less than 6 points and GCS 7-13 points were not significantly indistinctive.Between the good prognosis group and the bad prognosis group,there were no significant differences in all parameters.(3) The days of TCD parameters′ reaching normal were negatively correlated with GCS(r=-0.653,P<0.01),but positively correlated with the duration of disorder of consciousness(r=0.923,P<0.01).Conclusion The cerebral hemodynamics of children with cerebral dysfunction is abnormal,the more serious cerebral dysfunction,the higher PI and the longer time for regaining normal TCD parameters.Constantly monitoring TCD could reflect the changes of cerebral hemodynamics and is valuable to assess the state of illness and prognosis.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) during brain injury of irradiated rats.Methods According to the random number table method,82 healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups:50 rats in the irradiation group and the other 32 rats in the control group given sham-irradiation.The whole brains of rats in the irradiation group were irradiated with a single dose of 20 Gy electron beam to establish an animal model of radiation-induced brain injury.All brain tissues were respectively taken out 1,3,7,14 and 28 d after irradiation.The quantificational real-time-polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of the NF-κB mRNA while the expression of NF-κB protein was analyzed by ELISA and Western blot.The positioning expression of NF-κB protein in the hippocampus was measured with immunohistochemical staining.Results In the irradiation group,the expression of NF-κB mRNA significantly increased at 3 and 7 d following irradiation (t =37.79,35.30,P ＜ 0.05) and it approached a peak value on the third day following irradiation.The expression of NF-κB protein in whole brain tissues after irradiation was up-regulated and reached a peak on the first day post-irradiation and it was significantly higher than controls at 1,3,7,14 d after irradiation (t =30.94,14.87,27.17,13.27,P ＜ 0.05) then declined and dropped to the normal level by 28 d.The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the number of NF-κB positive cells in the hippocampus increased at 1,3 and 7 d following irradiation (t =-8.49,-4.47,-3.46,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions After irradiation,the expressions of NF-κB mRNA and corresponding protein first increase and then later decrease,which promotes the development of brain injury.

Objective To observe the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in lung of rats after paraquat (PQ) poisoning and to investigate the therapeutic effects of ulinastatin. Method Seventy-two adult healthy SD rats were randomly(random number) divided into control group (group A, n = 24), poisoning group (group B, n =24) and ulinastatin group (group C, n =24). The rat models of acute PQ poisoning were established by intra-gastric administration of 80 mg/kg PQ to rats of group B and group C, and the rats of group C were intra-peritoneally injected with 100 000 IU/kg ulinastatin 30 minutes after poisoning. The expression of HSP70 in lung tissue was observed, and W/D and histopathological changes in lung tissue were compared 12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 hours after poisoning. The expression of HSP70 in lung tissue was assayed by using RT-PCR. All quantitative data were processed with one-way analysis of variance to compare multiple sample means. Results Compared with group A, the expression of HSP70 in the lung of rats in group B and group C increased significantly at all intervals ( P ＜ 0.05). The pathological changes in lung tissue of rats with PQ poisoning showed mainly congestion,leukocytes infiltration and local hemorrhage, and the pathological changes in lung tissue of group C were significantly lessened. Conclusions Ulinastatin may ameliorate the acute lung injury to a certain extent after PQ poisoning in rats by enhancing the expression of HSP70.
