It presents with subcutaneous panniculitis with or without a hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). It occurs predominantly in women (male: female ratio 1:1.3) between the years of 5-61 (average, 33.5). The major clinical features are recurrent fever, multiple panniculitic lesions, anemia, leukopenia and coagulation abnormalities. In the later phase, liver dysfuction, serosal effusion, mucosal ulceration and hemorrhage may occur. Histological findings show activated histiocyte infiltration of the fat tissue. Cytologically the benign-looking histiocytes containing cell fragments (bean-bag cells) are very typical. CHP has a broad spectrum from mild to severe. Benign CHP is selflimiting and sensitive to treatment, but up to now there is no effective therapy for malignant CHP. We report here a case of progressive and fatal cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis in a young woman who had encephaloclastic changes immediately prior to her death.展开更多

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 32 patients with TSH developing into CSDH and reviewed related literature. Results: 16.7% of TSH developed into CSDH in this study. The time of evolution was from 22 to 100 days after head injury. All the patients were cured with hematoma drainage. Conclusions: TSH is one of the origins of CSDH. The clinical characteristics of TSH developing into CSDH follow that the ages of the patients are polarized, that the evolution often happens in the patients with small chronic hydromas and being treated conservatively, that the patients are usually injured deceleratedly and that the accompanying cerebral damage is often very mild.展开更多

Methods: There were 97 patients in the standard large trauma craniotomy group and 110 patients in the routine craniotomy group. The mortality, postoperative ICP (intracranial pressure), ratio of pupil rebound, complication and results of six month follow up after operation were compared between the two groups. Results: Fifteen patients ( 15.6 %) died in the standard large trauma craniotomy group and 30 ( 27.7 %) in the routine craniotomy group. The postoperative mean ICP was 3.75 kPa±1.89 kPa in the standard large trauma craniotomy group and 5.11 kPa±1.57 kPa in the routine craniotomy group. The pupil rebound was found in 47 patients ( 61.0 %) in the standard large trauma craniotomy group and in 41 patients ( 46.1 %) in the routine craniotomy group (P< 0.01 ). The rate of complication was lower in the standard large trauma craniotomy group, but no obvious difference in long term therapeutic effect was found between the two groups. Conclusions: Standard large trauma craniotomy can attenuate brain hernia and the mortality of the patients with acute subdural hematoma . The incidence of complication can also be decreased. But the long term life quality of the patients can not be improved.展开更多

Methods: An eye damage model after brain impact injury was established by striking the frontoparietal zone in rabbits with BIM-Ⅱ bioimpact machine. Seventeen rabbits were killed at 4 different intervals after injury. The pathological characteristics of the retinal and choroid damages were observed. Results: All the rabbits had severe brain injury with subarachnoid hemorrhage and brain contusion. The eye damage occurred in all of the 17 rabbits. Hemorrhage in optic nerve sheaths was observed and retinal edema and bleeding was discovered with ophthalmoscope. Histopathologic study displayed subarachnoid hemorrhage in the retrobulbar portion of the retinal nerve, general choroid blood vessel dilatation, retinal nerve fibre swelling within 6 hours after injury, and flat retinal detachment with subretinal proteinoid exudation, and degeneration and disappearance of the outer segment of the optic cell over 6 hours after injury. Conclusions: The pathological characteristic of the eye damage at early stage following brain impact injury is local circulation disturbance. At late stage, it features in retinal detachment, and optic cellular degeneration and necrosis.展开更多
