A total of 11 200 subjects from urban and rural areas of Taocheng of Hebei Province were surveyed for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge with self-made questionnaire. Our results showed that of the 11200 participants, there were 3708 subjects (33.11%) knew CPR; 6105 subjects (54.51%) knew but couldnt put it into practice; and 1387 subjects (12.38%) didn't know CPR. There was a significant difference in CPR awareness rate among people with different education level and profession (P <0.01). Awareness of emergency treatment and therapeutic technique was proved to be low among urban and rural residents, especially those living at poor-educated small towns. We suggest that more attention should be paid to increased awareness of CPR and its technique to improve to outcome of the treatment.

Objective To explore the relation and measures prevention between aspirin and relapsing haemorrhage after operation in cerebral haemorrhage patients. Method It' s a prospective control study. A total of 725 patients with hypertensive basal ganglia cerebral haemorrhage admitted to department of neurosurgery from January 2001 to May 2007 were enrolled. They were diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria set by the fourth national cerebrovascular disease conference in 1995. Haematoma volume was > 50 mL. All patients were treated with craniotomy. And those with respiration and circulation failure, neurologic function deficit before the onset of the disease,major organ dysfunction, haemorrhagic disease and bleeding tendency or applied medicines affecting coagulation function excepted aspirin were excluded. The patients without use of aspirin before the onset of the disease were operated as the control group(group A), and there were 389 patients in group A.The patients with use of aspirin before the onset of the disease were randomly assigned to group B and C group,and there were 168 patients in group B or group C.The patients in group C received the frozen apheresis platelets. We counted different haematoma volume of relapsing haemorrhage after operation,death rate,ADL scores grades by 6 months follow-up survey in three groups. Quantitative data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (-x ± s). The data were analyzed by using Chi-square test and Student's t test and rank sum test with SPSS 13.0 statistical package. A P value less than 0.05 indicated statisticals significance. Results Haematoma volume of relapsing haemorrhage was (40.59 + 20. 061 )mL, (53.21 ± 21.260) mL, (40.68 ± 19.517) mL in groups A, B, C,respectively. There was significant difference between group A and group B ( P < 0.01 ), between group B and group C ( P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between group A and group C(P > 0.05). ADL scores grades at 6-month follow-up was (67.04 ± 26. 176), (54.47 ± 29.403 ), (68.21 ± 25.254) in groups A, B, C, respectively. There was more significant difference between group A and group B, in ADL scores grades and the death rate between group B and group C (P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference between group A and group C (P > 0.05). Conclusions Aspirin can increase the occurrence rate of haemorrhage after operation, disablement and death in cerebral haemorrhage patients, but frozen apheresis platelets can reduce the occurrence rate.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of paraquat (PQ) detoxification recipe combined with continuous hemoperfusion (HP) in the treatment of patients with acute paraquat poisoning (APP) and clinical significance of soluble CD14 subtype (sCD14-st, Presepsin). Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. 152 patients with moderate APP admitted to Department of Emergency Medicine of Harrison International Peace Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University from July 2013 to June 2017 were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into three groups. The patients in HP group (group A, n = 35) only received 2-hour HP for 3 times, 8 hours each time, those in PQ detoxification recipe combined with HP group (group B, n = 50) received PQ detoxification recipe 1 (once per 2 hours until no PQ component was found in faeces) and 2 (3 times a day for 14 days) beside HP. The others in PQ detoxification recipe combined with persistent HP group (group C, n = 67) received continuous HP until the PQ component in serum was not detected. The parameters of organ function and inflammatory factor, and blood Presepsin and PQ contents were determined before and after treatment. The curative effect and 28-day mortality were recorded. The correlations between serum Presepsin level and PQ content as well as 28-day mortality were analyzed with Pearson correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted to analyze the predictive value of Presepsin on prognosis. Results The total effective rate of group C was significantly higher than that of groups A and B [70.1% (47/67) vs. 34.3% (12/35), 54.0% (27/50)], and 28-day mortality was significantly lowered [29.8% (20/67) vs. 65.7% (23/35), 46.0% (23/50), both P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), serum creatinine (SCr), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukins (IL-6 and IL-10) before treatment among the three groups. Five days after treatment, the above parameters in the three groups were increased as compared with those before treatment, but the increase degree in group C was the lowest. At 7 days after treatment, the parameters were decreased, especially in group C. There was no significant difference in serum Presepsin and PQ levels before treatment among the three groups. With the prolongation of treatment time, the Prespsin levels in groups A, B, and C were increased, and peaked at 12 hours (μg/L: 4.28±0.20, 3.87±0.25, 3.53±0.23), then gradually decreased,and the PQ contents were lower than those before treatment from 8 hours (mg/L: 1.76±0.12 vs. 2.12±0.17, 1.57±0.08 vs. 2.24±0.16, 1.25±0.10 vs. 2.14±0.18), with a time dependence pattern, especially in group C (all P < 0.05) . Correlation analysis showed that blood Presepsin level was positively correlated with PQ content and 28-day mortality (r1= 0.917, r2= 0.864, both P = 0.001), suggesting that the higher the PQ content was, the higher the Presepsin level, and the higher the 28-day mortality was. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of Presepsin predicting 28-day mortality was 0.863; when the cut-off value was 1.22 μg/L, the sensitivity was 83.3%, the specificity was 81.4%, the positive predictive value was 77.46%, and the negative predictive value was 86.42%. Conclusions Early administration of PQ detoxification recipe combined with continuous HP treatment can effectively reduce Presepsin level, decrease the mortality of patients with moderate APP, improve the prognosis. Presepsin can assess the prognosis of patients with APP.
