Methods: A model of rat with severe hemorrhagic shock and active bleeding was established in 32 SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats. The rats were randomly divided into control group, no fluid resuscitation group (NF group), controlled fluid resuscitation group (NS40 group) and rapid large scale fluid resuscitation group (NS80 group). Each group contained 8 rats. The curative effects were compared. At the same time, the apoptosis in liver, kidney, lung and small intestinal mucosa of survivors after hemorrhage and resuscitation was detected by light microscopy in HE (hematoxylin and eosin) stained tissue sections, flow cytometry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL). Results: The survival rate of early fluid resuscitation (14/16) was markedly higher than that of NF group (3/8). There was some apoptosis in liver, kidney, lung and small intestinal mucosa of all survivors. Compared with NF and NS40 groups, the apoptosis of liver, kidney and small intestinal mucosa of NS80 group was obviously increased. Conclusions: Among three fluid resuscitation methods, controlled fluid resuscitation can obviously improve the early survival rate and the apoptosis of liver, kidney and small intestinal mucosa in rats with severe and uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock, and may benefit improvement of prognosis.展开更多

Methods: The data of 42 patients with severely traumatic lower extremities from 1989 to 1999 were retrospectively reviewed. According to MESS(mangled extremity severity score) the mean score of all the limbs was 6.24± 1.45, 34 cases had MESS score<7 and 8 cases had MESS score≥7. Treatment approaches included microvascular anastomosis technique, compound tissue flap transplantation technique and compound bone tissue flap transplantation. Results: Two patients died after operation and one patient had delayed amputation of a lower limb. The rest 39 patients were followed up for 4-13 years. All the lower extremities of the 39 patients survived and had equal length. The 39 cases were evaluated by Chen’s criterion, showing that 37 had good result (29, Chen I and 8, Chen II), 1 sufficient (Chen III) and 1 poor (Chen IV). Conclusions: Successful emergency treatment of severely injured lower extremities could be achieved by using microsurgery techniques and strict controlling of lower extremity salvagel indications.展开更多

Methods: The clinical data of a group of 136 severely brain-injured patients admitted to Shanghai Neurosurgical Emergency Center from December 2004 to February 2006 were studied. Results: The intraventricular ICP monitor was placed in all the 136 patients via Kocher's pathway, Paine's pathway or intraoperative opened ventricle. In this series, the probe was placed during the procedure of craniotomy in 98 patients; for other 38 patients, the probe was placed initially to measure or to monitor ICE A stepwise protocol targeting at ICP control (420 mm Hg) and optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) maintenance (60-90 mm Hg) was deployed.Among them, 76 patients survived with good recovery, 14 with moderate disability, 24 with severe disability, 10 with vegetative state, and 12 died. Complications associated with intraventricular ICP monitoring included hemorrhage and infection. Hemorrhage occurred in 1 patient and infection in 5 patients. There were no unacceptable complications related to ICP monitoring. Conclusions: Ventricular access for 1CP monitoring can be safely and accurately achieved. ICP monitoring via ventriculostomy may facilitate an early and accurate intervention for severely brain-injured patients. The intraventricular ICP monitoring is a low-risk procedure and can yield great benefits for management of patients with severe TBI.展开更多
