Objective To evaluate femoral artery ligation for femoral artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to drug injection. Methods Clinical data of 32 drug addicts of femoral artery pseudoaneursysm caused by drug injection undergoing femoral artery ligation and local debridement were reviewed retrospectively.The blood supply of affected limb was evaluated by oxygen saturation of distal limb and its function.All the cases were followed up at 3,6,9,and 12months after the operation. Results Surgery was successful in all cases. There were no significantly difference of the limb oxygen saturation between postoperative and preoperative period (95.1％ ± 2.8％ vs.96.9％ ± 1.9％ ; t =1.26,P =0.25 ).White blood cells and neutrophils percentage significantly decreased after surgery.All patients were followed up for 1 year.Lower extremity ischemia after 6 hours of operation in one case treated by autologous saphenous vein bypass recovered. On 3 months mild claudication was observed in 5 cases. On 6 months claudication remained in only 2 cases,which disappeared on 9 months.All patients were able to maintain normal life.Conclusions Femoral artery ligation is a safe, effective and simple treatment modality for femoral pseudoaneurysms secondary to drug injection.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility,efficacy,and short to mid-term results of endovascular management of acute type B aortic dissection complicating visceral or lower limb malperfusion.Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 23 consecutive patients with acute type B dissection complicating visceral or lower limb malperfusion treated endovascularly at a single center between July 2001 to December 2012.Of the 23 patients identified [20 men,3 women; mean age (52 ±9) ranging 42-75]presented with clinical and imaging evidence of end-organ malperfusion:renal artary in 5 (21.7％),superior mesenteric artery in 9 (39.1％),celiac trunk in 3 (13％) and lower limb in 6 (20.1％),artary renal and lower limb in 2.Results All patients had stent-graft coverage of the proximal entry tear.11 (47.8％) patients needed additional branch vessel stenting.Successful correction of malperfusion was achieved in all the patients and the successful rate of operation and technology was 100％.In 1 patient,ischemia in the lower limb was resolved after a stent was implanted to the right iliac artery.In another patient,complicated with lower limb ischemic necrosis,amputation was performed after one stage stent-graft placement.The duration of follow-up was 6 months to 72 months,mean (21 ± 11)months.There was no migration of stent-graft and end-organ ischemia.No patients suffered from paraplegia in this group.Conclusions Endovascular coverage of the proximal entry tear in acute type B aortic dissections complicating end-organ malperfusion is a reasonable first line treatment.But some cases may need a combination branch vessel stenting.

Objective To study the positive influence of a standard trauma system on the care of severely injured patients.Methods The severely injured patients (NISS≥16 points)were divided into study group ( in 2006-2008,after the establishment of trauma center in our hospital) and control group (in 2001-2005,before the establishment of trauma center),which was bound by the establishment of the trauma center in our hospital in January 2006.The injury severity,care and outcomes were recorded by using China Trauma Database and changes in efficiency and quality of injury care were compared.Results The study group (66 patients) and control group (260 patients) with NISS of (20.59 ±4.63)points and (20.57 ± 5.38 ) points respectively,were similar in the distribution of severity ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The emergency care time was (0.33 ± 0.03) hour in the study group,which was significantly shortened compared with (0.57 ±0.35 ) hours in the control group (P ＜ 0.01 ).The length of hospital stay was (27.64 ±29.01 ) days in the study group,which was shorter than (30.84 ± 32.87 ) days in the control group (P ＞ 0.05 ),while the length of ICU stay was (2.98 ± 5.77 ) days in the study group,longer than (2.65 ± 7.00) days in the control group (P ＞ 0.05 ).The recovery rate was significantly increased from 76.5％ to 87.9％ (P ＜0.05) and mortality was significantly decreased from 20.8％ to 9.1％ (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The study indicates that the standard first aid model can notably improve the trauma care in our hospital.

Objeetive To analyze traffic accidents involving pedestrians in Chongqing from 2000 to 2006 so as to understand injury characteristics of the pedestrians. MethodsThe data of pedestrian road traffic crashes and injuries in three districts including one district in downtown,one in suburb and one in county of Chongqing from 2000 to 2006 were collected from road traffic crash and road traffic injury database to analyze severity of crashes,casualties,action and location of pedestrians in crashes. Results The road crashes led to 7 934 pedestrian injuries (24.74％) and 867 pedestrian deaths (49.46％).Intensity of the pedestrian road crashes in rural areas was higher than that in downtowns and suburbs.Of all pedestrian casualties,57.91％ were due to illegally crossing the driveway,and 15.43％ of the casualties were on the crosswalk.Most of the casualties occurred on the main roads,the third class highways and second main roads in Chongqing.But serious crashes occurred on the first and second class highways and substandard highways,which led to average 3.17,4.13 and 5.42 deaths,respectively.Pedestrians accounting for 52.46％ of the total severe injuries were more than the proportion among the minor to moderate injuries.Head injuries were the most common for the pedestrians and chest injuries were also usual among the severe injuries. Conclusions The intensity of pedestrian road crashes is higher than that of other crashes,especially in rural areas.It should be noticed that the main injuries of the pedestrians are head injuries,which is mainly resulted from illegally crossing driveway.It is worth noticing that a rather high proportion of pedestrians are impaired on the crosswalks,indicating that we should pay more attention to protect right of the pedestrians on the crosswalks during transportation law enforcement and safety education in the future.

Objective This study is to explore the expression of CIP2A mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and its correlations with clinicopathologic features and prognosis of HCC patients.Methods CIP2A mRNA expression was analyzed in four liver cancer cell lines (Hep-G2, MHCC97,SMMC-7721 and BEI-7402), one immortalized liver cell line L-O2, neoplastic tissues and adjacent matched non-neoplastic liver tissues in 120 HCC patients and normal liver tissues of 20 cases using semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The correlations between CIP2A mRNA and clinicopathologic features and prognosis of HCC were analyzed. Results CIP2A mRNA was detected in Hep-G2, MHCC-97H, SMMC-7721 and BEL-7402, but not in L-O2.The positive rate of CIP2A mRNA expression was significantly increased in HCC tissues (78.3%)than in adjacent matched non-neoplastic liver tissues (28.3%) and normal liver tissues (5.0%,P＜0. 01). CIP2A mRNA expression was correlated with tumor size, differentiation and TNM stage (P＜0.05). Patients with positive expression of CIP2A mRNA had lower overall survival and diseasefree survival rates. Conclusions CIP2A mRNA, which is highly expressed in liver cancer cell lines and HCC tissues, may be involved in hepatocarcinogenesis. CIP2A mRNA may be a valuable biomarker for assessing the prognosis of HCC.

Objective To evaluate the effect of comprehensive control for schistosomiasis with emphasis on environmental modification in the Bianmin River water system of Nanjing City.so as to provide scientific evidence for making up further control measures in this water system.Methods Schistosome infections of Oncomelania snails in the waterway.sentinel mice in water and neighbouring human were investigated longitudinally from 1998 to 2007,and the changes of huaman infection rates in differentyears,the infection rates of sentinel mice and snails in different settings were analyzed and compared.Results A total of 77 395 snails collected from the Bianmin River water system were dissected from 1998 to 2007,and among them,27 snails were infected with Schistosoma japonicum,with a total snail infection rate of 0.03%.A total of 61 039 snails collected from the neighbouring marshland which connected to the Yangtze River wore dissected,and among them,257 were infected with S.japonicum,with a total snail infection rate of 0.42%,and there was a significant difference compared with that in the water system(χ~2=248.55,P<0.01).After the protection works in the waterway,the infection rates of sentinel mice in the water system decreased from 69.68% in 1998 to 17.50% in 2001.with a reduction rate of 74.89%.Two years afterthe clearance ofmarshlandinthewaterway,no infected sentinel mouse was found.The infection rates of residents from 1998 to 2007 were 1.96%,1.37%,1.34%,1.60%,0.30%, 0.26%,0.16%,0.10%,0.04% and 0,respectively,andthe rates declined year by year afterthecomprehensive control.Conclusions The control measures based on the elimination of snail habitats in the waterway that is connected to the Yangtze River have achieved obvious effect.However,the clearance of the re-emerging snail habitats should be carried out termly to consolidate the control effect.

Objective To study the mRNA expression levels and clinical significance of omsomucoid 1-like protein 3 (ORMDL3) gene in the peripheral blood of recurrent wheeze children under 3 years old.Methods Peripheral blood specimens of 25 recurrent wheeze children including 14 non-atopy patients (group A) and 11 atopy patients (group B) that were registered in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University,from Sep.2010 to Sep.2012 were enrolled based on the inclusion criteria and 24 non-allergic controls(the children with food allergy,drug allergy or ectema was excepted).The mRNA expression levels of ORMDL3 gene were detected by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and clinical features were analyzed.Results The expression levels of ORMDL3 were up-regulated in the peripheral blood specimens of group B compared with group A (t =14.12,P ＜ 0.01).Compared with peripheral blood specimens from normal subjects,mRNA expression of ORMDL3 were significantly increased in recurrent wheeze children(t =10.29,5.73,P ＜0.01).The incidence of wheeze groups exist gender differences,male ＞ female.Wheeze usually with a high incidence in winter and spring.Conclusions The increase of ORMDL3 gene expression levels were correlated with recurrent wheeze under 3 years old especially in atopy group and may be involved in the pathogenesis of recurrent wheeze.

Objective To investigate the clinical states of enuresis children companied with spina bifida occulta(SBO)and study the efficient way of treatment.Methods The children with SBO were check out by X ray from a total of 121 children with bedwetting.Their parents were asked to complete the enuresis questionnaires.Urine routine test and B-ultrasound examination about kidney,bladder and ureter were also asked to be done.The clinic data of the 49 children were attained and analyzed.They were randomly divided into 2 groups,and given the controlled treatment.Group A[used 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vas-opressin(DDAVP)only] and group B(used DDAVP plus oxybutynin plus bladder training)treated for 12 weeks.Results There were totally 49 bedwetting children companied with SBO,and most of them(44 cases,89.8%)were severe type(bedwetting times≥7 times/week).Some of them coexisted with frequency,urgency,gentle urgency incontinence and microscopic hematuria(22 cases).Thirty cases were found the functional bladder capacity(FBC)decrease by B-ultrasound.The cure rates were 58.3%(group A)and 88.0%(group B)respectively.The relapse rates were 36.8%(group A)and 12.5%(group B)respectively after stopping treatment for 3 months.Conclusions SBO accounts for considerably higher rate in enuretic children.It might cause the disability of bladder function.The treatment plan with DDAVP plus oxybutynin plus bladder training can not only increase the cure rate but also lower the relapse rate.
