A total of 114 patients with traumatic shock combined with MODS were randomly divided into two groups: control group (n=56) treated with conventional therapy, and intensive insulin therapy group (n=58) treated with conventional therapy plus continuous insulin pumping to control the blood glucose level at range of 4.4-6.1 mmol/L. White blood cells (WBC) counts, prothrombin time (PT), serum creatinine (SCr), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), serum albumin and PaO2 were measured before and at the day 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 after treatment. The incidence of gastrointestinal dysfunction, the incidence of MODS, hospital stay and the mortality were also observed and compared. After intensive insulin therapy, the WBC counts, SCr, ALT and PT were significantly reduced (P0.05), but the level of serum albumin was significantly increased (P0.05) at the day 3, 5, 7 and 14. In the meantime, the PaO2 was significantly elevated at the day 3, 5 and 7 (P0.01) after intensive insulin therapy. The incidence of gastrointestinal dysfunction, the incidence of MODS, the length of hospital stay and the mortality were markedly decreased (P0.01). The results suggest early treatment with intensive insulin therapy is effective for traumatic shock combined with MODS and can decrease the length of hospital stay and the mortality.展开更多

Methods: Studies were performed on an in vivo model of spontaneously breathing rats with induced T/HS; the rats were subjected to femur fracture, ischemia for 30 min, and reperfusion for 20 min with Ringer's lactate solution (RS) or 5% (w/v) albumin (ALB), and the left lower lobes of the lungs were resected. Results: Albumin administered during reperfusion markedly attenuated injury of the lung and decreased the concentration of lactic acid and the number of in situ TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL)-positive cells. Moreover, immunohistochemistry performed 24 h after reperfusion revealed increases in the level of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), and phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the albumin-untreated group was down-regulated by albumin treatment when compared with the sham rats. Conclusion: Resuscitation with albumin attenuates tissue injury and inhibits T/HS-induced apoptosis in the lung via the p38 MAPK signal transduction pathway that functions to stimulate the activation of NF-κB.展开更多

Methods: Eighty-nine patients with multiple injuries complicating with shock were treated in Changhai Hospital Between January 2002 to October 2005 and were divided into 3 groups according to the preoperative levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP). SBP of group A and group B were about 70 and 80 mmHg, respectively; and the SBP of group C was over 90 mmHg. Results, (1) There was no significant difference in age, gender, and injury severity score (ISS), initiated resuscitation time and initiated operation time among the 3 groups. Preoperatively, there was significant difference in the amount of fluid resuscitation and infused erythrocyte suspension among group A, B and C (1687 ± 96 ml, 2096 ± 87 ml, 2976±93 ml, P〈0. 05; and 294±110 ml, 404±113 ml, 798±230 ml, P〈0. 05). (2) The hemoglobin level in group C (94±45 g/L) was lower than that in group A (110±22 g/L) and group B (103±24 g/L) (P〈0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the level of hemoglobin between group A and B. (3) There was no significant difference in the incidence of acute renal failure (ARF) among the 3 groups. The incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of group C (31.2%) was higher than that of group A (16.7%) and group B (18.2%) (P〈0.05). The mortality of group C (34.4%) was higher than that of group A (12. 5% ) and group B (12. 1% ) (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Preoperative limited resuscitation applied on patients with traumatic shock can reduce blood loss, incidence of ARDS and mortality.展开更多

In one-handed Finger Braille, a sender dots the left part of the Braille code on the Distal Interphalangeal (DIP) joints of the index, middle and ring fingers of a receiver, and subsequently dots the right part of the Braille code on the Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP)joints of the same fingers. Because there is a small number of non-disabled people who are skilled in Finger Braille, deafblind people communicate in this medium only through an interpreter. We have been developing a Finger Braille recognition system using small piezoelectric accelerometers worn by the receiver To recognize the dotted positions (DIP or PIP joints), we have made a hypothesis that the dotting on the DIP joints causes a hard impact, and the dotting on the PIP joints causes a soft impact, when the receiver's hand forms a natural longitudinal arch on the desk. The difference of each impact is indicated by its damping amplitude ratio. In this paper, a measurement experiment about the postures of the receiver's hand was conducted. The postures of the receiver's hand were as follows: forming the natural longitudinal arch on the desk and fully contacting the desk. As a result, the dotting on the DIP joints of both postures caused the hard impacts; the dotting on the PIP joints caused the soft impact when the receiver's hand formed the natural longitudinal arch; the dotting on the PIP joints caused the hard impact when the receiver's hand fully contacted the desk. Therefore, we could verify the hypothesis.展开更多
