Objective:Measure the global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the left ventricle in trauma patients by beside speckle tracking echocardiography to explore the role of STE -GLS in evaluating left ventricular systolic function in trauma patients, and then explore the clinical value of GLS in judging the prognosis of trauma patients.Methods:Trauma patients admitted to intensive care unit from September 1, 2020 to April 1, 2021 with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) of ≥ 16 points. were consecutively enrolled. Moreover, those patients who met the following criteria were selected as the research subjects: aged between 18 and 80 years old, had no serious underlying diseases in the past, the time from trauma onset to admission was within 24 hours, and were able to complete an echocardiogram examination within 24 hours after the onset of the disease. Exclude patients who are unable to complete the ultrasound examination within 24 hours after the onset of the disease, or those with poor image quality, or those complicated with severe heart diseases and systemic comorbidities. The left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) was measured by bedside speckle tracking echocardiography. According to the GLS values they were divided into abnormal group (GLS> -15%) and normal group (GLS≤ -15%). Independent sample t-tests and chi-square tests were applied to conduct a comparative analysis of the clinical characteristics between the two groups of patients. Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between STE-GLS and the duration of intensive care unit stay.Results:A total of 32 trauma patients were eligible for this study. One patient was found to have abnormal left ventricular systolic function (LVEF<50%) detected by conventional echocardiography, however speckle tracking echocardiography detected decreased left ventricular systolic function (GLS> -15%) in 13 Patients. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the global longitudinal strain of left ventricle and serum high sensitivity troponin I were independent risk factors affecting the time of intensive care in trauma patients.Conclusions:Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is more sensitive than traditional echocardiography and can detect left ventricular systolic dysfunction early. STE-GLS is an independent risk factor affecting hospitalization time of trauma patients in intensive care unit. Clinically, STE-GLS and serum Hs-TnI can be combined to determine the prognosis of trauma patients.

Objective:To investigate the impact of a pain management model based on clinical pathway (CP) refinement on postoperative pain relief, recovery, and cognitive function in patients undergoing orthopedic joint surgery.Methods:A total of 150 orthopedic joint surgery patients admitted to Handan Central Hospital from February 2018 to January 2021 were selected. They were randomly divided into an observation group (treated with a pain management model based on CP refinement) and a control group (treated with conventional pain management) using a random number table method, with 75 patients in each group. We compared the differences in pain relief, recovery, cognitive function, and postoperative complication rates between two groups of patients.Results:The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of the observation group patients at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). 24 hours after surgery, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores of both groups of patients decreased compared to before treatment, and the angle of straight leg elevation test increased compared to before treatment (all P<0.05). In addition, the JOA scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the angle of straight leg elevation test was greater than that of the control group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). 24 hours after surgery, the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) scores of both groups of patients increased (all P<0.05), and the MMSE scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The analgesic model based on CP refined management has improved the postoperative analgesic effect, recovery, and cognitive function of patients undergoing orthopedic joint surgery. It is recommended to promote it clinically.

Objective:To investigate the image quality, radiation dose, and diagnostic efficiency of the regimen of GE 256-slice Revolution CT low-dose scanning, combined with an individualized contrast agent, in the assessment of coronary in-stent restenosis.Methods:A total of 120 patients (with 142 stents) treated with coronary stent implantation at the Beijing Renhe Hospital from August 2020 to August 2022 were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into an observation group (60 cases with 70 stents) and a conventional group (60 cases with 72 stents) using the random number table method. Both groups received GE 256-slice Revolution CT examinations. Patients in the conventional group were injected with 70 ml of iopromide as a contrast agent each, while those in the observation group were given individualized doses based on their body mass indices (BMIs). A tube voltage of 120 kV and a tube current of 534 mA were applied to the conventional group, whereas the tube voltage and current for the observation group were adjusted within the ranges of 80-120 kV and 150-534 mAs based on patients’ BMIs. Both groups received coronary angiography 7-14 d after coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Finally, the CT image quality, radiation dose, iodine intake, and diagnostic efficiency were compared between the two groups.Results:Both groups exhibited no significant differences in CT values, contrast-to-noise ratios, blooming artifacts, and stent diameters of the left main coronary artery ( P > 0.05). The conventional group manifested higher CT dose index, CT dose length product, effective dose, and iodine intake compared to the observation group ( t = 10.30, 8.75, 10.27, 4.60, P < 0.05). With coronary angiography result as the gold standard, the observation and conventional groups yielded Kappa values of 0.904 and 0.879, respectively, suggesting high consistency in diagnostic performance. Additionally, the two groups demonstrated nonsignificant differences in sensitivity and specificity ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:The regimen of GE 256-slice Revolution CT low-dose scanning, combined with an individualized contrast agent, yielding image quality and diagnostic efficiency equivalent to those of the conventional regimen, can effectively reduce radiation dose and iodine intake. Therefore, this regimen merits wide applicability.

ObjectiveTo screen and establish animal models of combined stasis and toxin syndrome based on the comparison of three modeling methods, i.e., carrageenan (Ca), Ca combined with dried yeast (Ca+Yeast), and Ca combined with lipopolysaccharide (Ca+LPS). MethodForty SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, Ca group, Ca+Yeast group, and Ca+LPS group, with 10 rats in each group. The Ca group, Ca+Yeast group, and Ca+LPS group received an intraperitoneal injection of Ca (10 mg·kg-1) on the first day. The Ca+LPS group received an intraperitoneal injection of LPS (50 μg·kg-1) on the second day, and the Ca+Yeast group received a subcutaneous injection of dry yeast suspension (2 mg·kg-1) on the back on the second day. The rectal temperature of each group was dynamically observed after modeling. After 24 hours of modeling, the macroscopic evaluation indexes, including tongue manifestation, pulse, and black tail length in each group were observed. The PeriCam PSI imaging system was used to detect the blood flow perfusion of the rat tail. The automatic hemorheology analyzer was used to measure the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity of each group. The PL platelet function analyzer was used to detect the platelet aggregation rate of the rats. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the interleukin-6 (IL-6) level in the rat plasma. The myocardial tissue, brain tissue, and lung tissue of each group of rats were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. ResultCompared with the normal group, all three model groups showed varying degrees of black tail (P<0.05, P<0.01), reduced blood flow perfusion at the tail end (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased R, G, and B values of tongue manifestation (P<0.05, P<0.01), and increased maximum platelet aggregation rate (P<0.05, P<0.01). The pulse amplitudes of the Ca+Yeast group and the Ca+LPS group were lower than that of the normal group (P<0.05, P<0.01). In addition, the average rectal temperature of the Ca+Yeast group increased after 24 hours of modeling (P<0.01), and the low-, medium-, and high-shear whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity increased (P<0.05, P<0.01) as compared with those in the normal group. Additionally, the expression level of the plasma inflammatory factor IL-6 was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). Pathological morphology results showed that the Ca+Yeast group had the most severe pathological changes, with small foci of myocardial fiber dissolution, inflammatory cell infiltration, and fibroblast proliferation observed. In the hippocampal area, the neurons were sparse and had undergone red degeneration. In the small focus of the lung interstitium, lymphocytes and neutrophils were infiltrated. ConclusionThe animal model of combined stasis and toxin syndrome was properly established using Ca+Yeast. The systematic evaluation system of the model, which includes traditional Chinese medicine four diagnostic information, western medicine microscopic indicators, and tissue pathological morphology, is worthy of consideration and reference by researchers.
