Pulmonary blast injury has become the main type of trauma in modern warfare, characterized by externally mild injuries but internally severe injuries, rapid disease progression, and a high rate of early death. The injury is complicated in clinical practice, often with multiple and compound injuries. Currently, there is a lack of effective protective materials, accurate injury detection instrument and portable monitoring and transportation equipment, standardized clinical treatment guidelines in various medical centers, and evidence-based guidelines at home and abroad, resulting in a high mortality in clinlcal practice. Therefore, the Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized military and civilian experts in related fields such as thoracic surgery and traumatic surgery to jointly develop the Clinical treatment guideline for pulmonary blast injury ( version 2023) by combining evidence for effectiveness and clinical first-line treatment experience. This guideline provided 16 recommended opinions surrounding definition, characteristics, pre-hospital diagnosis and treatment, and in-hospital treatment of pulmonary blast injury, hoping to provide a basis for the clinical treatment in hospitals at different levels.

Qili-Qiangxin capsules have been wildly used for the cardiovascular diseases. Qili-Qiangxin capsules have good effect on the myocardial infarction, dilated cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, diastolic heart failure and HFPEF patients. Patients' cardiac function and quality of life can be improved after treatment. In the basic researches, we concluded the mechanisms of Qili-Qiangxin capsules'effect on the heart failure that Qili-Qiangxin capsules could effectively restrain the cardiac remodeling, improve cardiac function.Although the Qili-Qiangxin capsules were wild used in the clinic, its precise molecular mechanisms for cardiovascular diseases remained unknown.

AIM: To study the effects of 7 weeks prolonged haevy load swimming and Panaxadiol Saponins (PDS) on the expression of ?-actin in quadriceps muscle of thigh in rats. METHODS: After 7 weeks prolonged heavy load swimming training, the expression of ?-actin in quadriceps muscle of thigh was quantitatively examined by Northern blotting analysis in the condition with or without PDS treatment. RESULTS: The expression of ?-actin in rat quadriceps muscle of thigh in exercise+PDS group was significantly higher than that in sedentray control group and exercise+saline group at 24 th hour after intensive training. No statistical difference between exercise+androsan group and exercise+saline group was observed.CONCLUSION: PDS enhanced ?-actin expression in quadriceps muscle of thigh in rats.

Objective To evaluate the methods and consequences of surgical technique in the treatment of Stanford A aortic dissection.Methods 108 patients with type Standford A aortic dissection underwent surgery in our study,including urgent surgery in 53 and selective surgery in 55.The operation was performed under deep hypothennic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in 85 cases.Surgical procedures included ascending and semi arch replacement or total arch replacement (some cases combined with stented graft implanted into the descending aorta),"elephant trunk" procedure.Concomitant procedures included repair of intimal tear in arch or descending aorta,Bentall procedure,aortic valve replacement,Cabrol or modified Cabrol procedure,aortic valvuloplasty,mitral valvuloplasty or mitral valve replacement,tricuspid valvuloplasty and CABG.Results In-hospital mortality was 6.5% (7 of 108 patients).The mor- tality was 7.5% (4 of 53 patients) in urgent surgery group and in elective surgery group was 5.4% (3 of 55 patients).Ninety six percent survived patients were followed up for 1 month to 13.3 years [mean (3.2?1.3) years] and 2 deaths occurred during the fel- low-up period.3 patients underwent re-operatian.Conclusion The choice of surgical procedures depend on the location of intimal tear for Stanford A aortic dissection.The better operative effects can be expected with proper surgical indication,perfecting surgical technique,and enhancing postoperative treatment.

AIM: To study effects of prolonged intensive endurance exercise and Panaxadiol saponins (PDS) on red blood cells (RBC) membrane fluidity in rats, as well as the mechanism. METHODS: By the membrane fluorence polarization, Pyrollol-NBT, TBA methods and Scanning Electron Microscope, RBC membrane fluidity,RBC-SOD and serum MDA were measured after 7 weeks prolonged intensive swimming. RESULTS: Fluorence polarization(P value) were significant higher and fluidity were lower( P
