OBJECTIVE: To discuss the method of reducing error in estimating postmortem interval (PMI). METHODS: Two hundred and fifty-six solved murder cases from 2003 January to 2013 January in Changzhou and Nanjing City were collected, The PMI of all cases was estimated by traditional method and then compared with the real PMI obtained after the cases were solved. The cases were grouped according to the PMI, the accuracy was calculated, and the reasons of suboptimal PMI were analyzed. RESULTS: The accuracies of early PMI (less than 12h and 13-24 h) were 90% and 89%, respectively; while the accuracies of late PMI (1-7 d, 1-2 weeks, 3-4 weeks, 1-6 months, 7-12 months and 1-5 years) decreased over time, being 79%, 76%, 83%, 79%, 60% and 50%, respectively. The common reasons of estimating error included improper inference methods, water submerged body, extreme temperature, lack of objective evidence, intentionally abandoned body, and changed or destroyed scene, etc. CONCLUSION The multiple index data can reduce the error in estimating PMI.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the clinical features, diagnosis and endoscopic surgical intervention for small steoma of nasal sinuses causing nasal and facial pain. METHOD: A retrospective review was performed on 21 patients with nasal and facial pain caused by small osteoma of nasal sinuses, and nasal endoscopic surgery was included in the treatment of all cases. RESULT: The nasal and facial pain of all the patients was relieved. Except for one ase exhibiting periorbital bruise after operation, the other patients showed no postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Nasal and facial pain caused by small osteoma of nasal sinuses was clinically rare, mostly due to the neuropathic pain of nose and face caused by local compression resulting from the expansion of osteoma. Early diagnosis and operative treatment can significantly relieve nasal and facial pain.

BACKGROUND: An isodamine, a kind of alkaloid, is extracted from Anisodus tanguticus (Maxim.) Pascher and is also a good protective agent of cell. However, functional change of mitochondrion is the most sensitive index reflecting cell injury.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of anisodamine on brain mitochondrial damage following global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in domestic rabbits and explore its mechanism.DESIGN: Totally randomized controlled trials.SETTING: Emergency Department of Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the laboratory of Emergency Department, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from September to December in 2002. Thirty healthy domestic rabbits of either sex were used and randomized into sham-operation group, ischemia-reperfusion group and anisodamine group with 10 rabbits in each group.METHODS: The models of complete cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury in rabbits were established by ligation of bilateral common carotids and vertebral arteries with systemic hypotension, ischemia lasting for 20 minutes followed by 2-hour reperfusion. Anisodamine group was injected with anisodamine at a dose of 10 mg/kg body mass via femoral vein one minute before reperfusion, and lasted for 2 hours at a dose of 5 mg/hour by micro-pump. Ischemia-reperfusion group was treated with normal saline of the same volume. Sham-operation group only underwent used to determine mitochondrial respiratory functions, including respiratory control rate (RCR), the ratio of adenosine diphosphate to oxygen nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogenated (NADH) oxidase, succinate oxidase and cytochrome C oxidase were measured by the oxygenmethod of Yagi.drial calcium (Ca2+) and malondiadhyde (MDA) in cortex.reperfusion group and anisodamine group, RCR, ADP/O, OPR levels were lower than those in sham-operation group [nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide chain: RCR: 2.34±0.18,3.58±0.29,4.07±0.38,P ＜ 0.05-0.01;ADP/O: 1.77±0.10,2.23±0.14,2.41±0.17,P ＜ 0.05-0.01; OPR: (5.27±0.78),(8.03±1.30), (9.63±1.50)μkat/g, P ＜ 0.05-0.01; flavin adenine dinucleotide chain: RCR: 1.47±0.23,2.53±0.28,2.84±0.36,P ＜ 0.05-0.01;ADP/O: 0.88±0.09,1.58±0.11,1.73±0.17 ,P ＜ 0.05-0.01; OPR: (6.05±1.13),(7.47±1.40), (8.62±1.60)μkat/g,P ＜ 0.05-0.01], and those were higher in chemia-reperfusion group and anisodamine group, the activities of respiratory chain oxidase of NADH, succinate and cytochrome C were lower than those in sham-operation group [NADH: (2.62±0.35), (4.55±0.48), (5.07±0.60)μkat/g;succinate: (1.48±0.17), (1.83±0.22), (2.10±0.28)μkat/g; cytochrome C:(5.03±1.12), (7.62±1.23), (9.00±1.53)μkat/g, P ＜ 0.05-0.01], and those were higher in anisodamine group than in ischemia-reperfusion group, the content of mitochondrial Ca2+ [(2.36±0.23), (1.39±0.17),(1.22±0.12) mg/g] and MDA [(36.38±10.42), (22.69±9.56), (19.74±7.26)μmol/g,(P ＜ 0.05-0.01 )] was higher than that in sham-operation group, and it was lower in anisodamine group than in ischemia-reperfusion group (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Anisodamine can protect the brain against ischemiareperfusion injury at the level of mitochondria by antagonism of Ca2+, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, stabilization of mitochondrial membrane, alleviation of mitochondrial damage, and improvement of motochondrial respiratory functions and the activities of enzymes of respiratory chain.

Objective To investigate the surgical treatment and clinical outcome of patients with intracranial posterior circulation poor-grade aneurysms. Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with intracranial posterior circulation poor-grade aneurysms were collected. Seventeen patients were World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade IV and 18 patients were WFNS grade V. Twenty- nine patients were definitively treated with open microsurgery treatment(2 patients) and endovascular treatment (27 patients). Six patients received conservative treatment, including 4 patients only receiving external ventricular drainage to decrease intracranial pressure and 2 patients only receiving medical treatment. The nerve function were evaluated by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at discharge from hospital and 1 and 12 months after operation. Results In the patients who received conservative treatment, 5 patients were dead in hospital, and 1 patient got good outcome after 12 months. In the patients who received surgical treatment, at discharge from hospital good outcome were achieved in 15 patients (51.7%), poor outcome in 9 patients (31.0%), and death happened in 5 patients (17.2%). At 1 month after operation, good outcomes were achieved in 14 patients (48.3%), poor outcome in 9 patients (31.0%), and death happened in 6 patients (20.7%). At 12 months after operation, good outcome were achieved in 18 patients (62.1%), poor outcome in 5 patients (17.2%), and death happened in 6 patients (20.7%). Conclusions Patients with posterior circulation poor-grade aneurysms have better prognosis after positive surgical treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To focus on the phenomenon of medication socialization.METHODS:Referenced by the related literature,different social factors affecting medication socialization were analyzed from the perspective of social pharmacy.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:The social factors affecting medication socialization were patients,pharmaceutical enterprises,governmental regulatory agencies,pharmacologists,new technologies,hospitals,doctors etc.To prevent medication from over-socialization effectively,medical professionals’roles should be brought into full play,people’s consciousness of rational drug use should be strengthened,enterprises’attention to the social effects should be emphasized,and governmental supervi-sion should be strengthened,meanwhile correct public opinion orientations should be followed.
