The risk factors of traffic crash include drinking/drunk drive, accident proneness, fatigue driving, speeding, and poor vehicle quality. This article introduces the protection, emergency treatment, and basic scientific research of road traffic injury (RTI). As a public health issue, RTI is preventable, and personal factor is a key problem. It is important to establish an accurate and comprehensive RTI database, which may provide necessary information for the epidemiological research and crash prevention. The author also gives some suggestions on road traffic safety development in our country.

Spinal giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a kind of primary benign bone tumors in the spine. It is rich in blood supply,aggressive,and easily recurring and lung metastasizing. So the benign GCTBs of the spine remains a challenge to treat.This article reviews the therapeutic methods in spinal GCTBs,including surgery,radiation therapy,arterial embolization. The treatment for the tumor with lung metastasis is also covered in this review. It is established that En bloc resection with wide margins is the most effective method to spinal GCTBs. To eliminate the residual tumor cells,adjuvant radiation should be done when complete resection is not available. Arterial embolization can be used to treat the huge sacral GCTBs.For those with lung metatasis,they can be controlled by lobectomy and /or chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) combined with norepinephrine (NE) on L-type calcium current (LCa-l) in rat ventricular myocytes. Methods Ventricular myocytes were isolated from SD rats (weighing 260-280 g) by retrograde perfusion of the heart via the aorta with an enzyme-containing solution as previously described. Whole-cell patch-clamp recording was made using Axopatch 200B amplifier. The cells were perfused for 1 min with Tyrode solution containing CGRP 1 × 10-7 mol/L (group CGRP) , NE 1 × 10-6 mol/L (group NE), or CGRP 1 × 10-7 mol/L + NE 1 × 10-6 mol/L (group CN) and again washed with Tyrode solution. ICa-L was recorded 1 min before and 1 min after the cells were perfused and 1 min after the cells were washed. I-V curve of ICa-L was made after the cells were perfused with solution containing CGRP or NE alone. Results CGRP significantly inhibited the peak of ICa-L, while NE significantly promoted the peak of ICa-L(P < 0.05) . The peak of ICa-L was significantly decreased 1 min after the cells were perfused in group CGRP,while increased 1 min after the cells were perfused in group NE compared with group CN ( P < 0.05). CGRP made the I-V curve of ICa-L move up-ward, while NE made the I-V curve of ICa-L move down-ward. Conclusion CGRP can weaken the promotion of ICa-L induced by NE in rat ventricular myocytes.

Objective To study the efficacy of pelvic reconstruction surgery in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapsey (POP).Methods 18 patients with POP underwent pelvic reconstruction surgery were selected.Clinical parameters during peri-operation were recorded.After 3 months and 6 months,pelvic organ prolapse quantitative examination(POP-Q) and anatomic improvement in these patients were analyzed.Comparisons of pelvic floor distress impact questionnaire short form 7 (PFIQ-7) and quality of sexual life of chinese women questionnaire in these patients before and after surgery were used to evaluate quality of life and quality of sexual life.Results Median operation time was (90.0 ± 13.2) minutes and median blood loss was (30.0 ± 1.2) ml,all the patients were followed.The objective cure rate was 100％.The mean score of post-operative PFIQ-7 were significantly lower than those of pre-operation (P ＜ 0.01),and those of qualify of sexual life of chinese women questionnaire was no significantly difference (P ＞0.05).The rate of mesh crosion was 0,and there was no case of de novo urinary incontinence and de novo dyspareunia.Conclusion Pelvic reconstruction surgery is a safe and efficacious management.It can improve qualify of life remarkably and have no influence on sexual quality of life.

Objective To investigate the spatio-temporal expression of connexin 43(Cx43) in the cultured ventricular myocardial cells of neonatal rats. Methods The techniques of Immunocytochemistry(ICC) and immuno-electron microscopy were used to detect the Cx43 expression in the cultured rat ventricular myocardial cells on the(2nd),(4th),(8th),(10th),(12th),(16th),(20th,)(26th) and(30th) days. Results Cx43 expression was detected in the cultured ventricular myocardial cells on the 2(nd) day,and the Cx43 granules were located largely in the cellular cytoplasm and membrane.The punctiform granule of the cellular cytoplasm decreased and the expression of Cx43 was located mainly in cellular membrane junction on the 4(th) day.The expression of Cx43 increased in cellular membrane junction on the 10(th) day,and the morphology of Cx43 expression was chain-and strip-like.There were not obvious changes in the following days.The expression of Cx43 on the 30(th) day was derangement.Conclusion The spatio-temporal expression of Cx43 in the cultured ventricular myocardial cells of neonatal rats changed with the cultural time in terms of location and quantity.It was in accordance with the growth and development of the cultured ventricular myocardial cells.

Objective To analyze the influence factors of lower extremities deep venous thrombosis after hip replacement,and provide guidance for perioperative prevention.Methods 52 cases of patients underwent total hip replacement were selected,who were given color doppler ultrasound examination for lower limb venous thrombosis after hip replacement.And analyzed risk factors of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis from patient's gender,age,blood lipid,D -dimer,complications and surgical index.Results During the 52 cases,16 cases were found with postopera-tive lower limb deep vein thrombosis (30.8%);Single factor analysis showed that patients with age ≥65 years,over-weight or obese (BMI≥25kg/m2 ),high triglycerides (TG ≥ 1.7mmol/L)and high D -dimer level (≥500μg/L), diabetes or high blood pressure,large blood transfusion combined with a greater incidence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (P <0.05).Further multiple factors regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years,overweight or obesity, high triglycerides,high D -dimer,diabetes,large blood transfusions were independent risk factors of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (OR =15.693,1.278,9.832,3.053,1.855,1.014,all P <0.05).Conclusion Patients with total hip replacement should be given preoperative vein thrombosis risk assessment,patients with age ≥65,overweight or obese,high triglycerides,D -dimer level,diabetes,large number of blood transfusions have higher risk of deep vein thrombosis,we should focus on perioperative monitoring,application of low molecular heparin,lower limb vein pump, etc.early postoperative lower limb rehabilitation exercise,to reduce the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis.
