Kallikrein gene transfer exhibits neural protective effects following cerebral infarction. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of kallikrein gene transfer on vascular proliferation in the peripheral infarct focus and on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The completely randomized, controlled experiment was performed at the Lin Baixin Laboratory Center, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sun University between September 2007 and April 2008. MATERIALS: pUCI9-HTK plasmid was constructed and maintained in the Laboratory for Neurology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, China. Mouse anti-human kallikrein 1 monoclonal antibody was purchased from R&D Systems, USA. METHODS Ninety healthy, male, Sprague Dawley rats were used. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was established in all rats to induce cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Following MCAO establishment, all rats were randomly divided into three groups (n = 30): blank control, saline, and pAdCMV-HTK. The saline and pAdCMV-HTK groups were stereotactically micro-injected with 5μL of physiological saline or with pAdCMV-HTK [multiplicity of infection (MOI) = 20], respectively, into the ischemic penumbra. In the blank control group, only sham injection was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At 12, 24, and 72 hours after treatment, cerebral infarction volume was measured by 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Exogenous HTK expression, as well as regional vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, was detected by immunohistochemistry. rCBF was examined by 14C-iodoantipyrine micro tracing. In addition, neurological severity score (NSS) was performed. Higher scores indicated more severe neurological deficits. RESULTS: NSS results demonstrated that compared with the saline and the blank control groups, the pAdCMV-HTK group exhibited lower NSSs 24 hours after pAdCMV-HTK injection (P 〈 0.05). The NSSs were further decreased after 72 hours (P 〈 0.01). Cerebral infarction volume at 24 hours, and in particular at 72 hours after treatment, was significantly reduced in the pAdCMV-HTK group compared with the blank control and saline groups (P 〈 0.05). The rCBF in the area surrounding the infarction lesion was slightly decreased in all groups compared with the contralateral area. At 24 and 72 hours following treatment, the rCBF in the peripheral infarction lesion was significantly elevated in the pAdCMV-HTK group compared with the blank control and saline groups (P 〈 0.05). Immunohistochemistry results revealed that VEGF-positive cells were primarily found in the cortex and in some white matter surrounding the cerebral infarction lesion. In addition, the expression of VEGF in the pAdCMV-HTK group was significantly higher compared with that in the blank control and saline groups at 12, 24, and 72 hours following treatment (P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION: Following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, kallikrein gene transfer can promote vascular proliferation in the brain tissue surrounding the infarction lesion, improve rCBF, and reduce infarction volume, thereby exhibiting protective effects to attenuate neurological deficits.展开更多

Isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) was attempted five decades ago but it has been ac- cepted recently after spectacular tumour responses were ob- tained by several phase trials. DATA SOURCES: An English-language literature search using MEDLINE (2003), Index Medicus (2003) and biblio- graphic reviews of books and review articles. IHP and its history and recent clinical application. RESULTS: IHP offers unique pharmacokinetic advantages for locoregional chemotherapy and biotherapy. Surgical isolation of the liver and percutaneous techniques using bal- loon occlusion catheters are reliable and safe. They appear to have significant efficacy even in patients with advanced tumor burden or those with tumors refractory to other types of therapy. CONCLUSION: IHP which has been developed in recent years is becoming a promising strategy for the treatment of unresectable liver cancer.展开更多

Methods:A total of 90 patients with primary gastric cancer who received treatment in Tianyou Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science & Technology between January 2014 and May 2016 were collected and divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method, 45 cases in each group. The control group of patients received routine systemic intravenous chemotherapy + surgical treatment, and the observation group of patients received systemic intravenous chemotherapy combined with local arterial perfusion chemoembolization + surgical treatment. Levels of tumor markers and angiogenesis factors in serum as well as the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in gastric cancer tissue were compared between the two groups of patients before and after chemotherapy.Results:Before chemotherapy, the levels of tumor markers and angiogenesis factors in serum as well as the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in gastric cancer tissue were not significantly different between the two groups of patients;after chemotherapy, serum CEA, CA724, CA242, AFP, VEGF, Ang-2, COX2 and PD-ECGF levels of observation group were lower than those of control group, andiASPP, p130Cas, ERBB2 and C-myc mRNA expression in gastric cancer tissue were lower than those of control group while GKN1, p16, PTEN, TSPYL5 and merlin mRNA expression in gastric cancer tissue were higher than those of control group.Conclusions: Preoperative systemic intravenous chemotherapy combined with regional arterial perfusion chemoembolization can effectively reduce the malignancy of locally advanced gastric cancer and provide favorable conditions for the operation.展开更多

CRPS can be a debilitating condition with high levels of pain and reduced function. Aim: This case report aims to discuss the multimodal approach in the management of a patient who presented with ongoing poorly controlled pain secondary to CRPS from an injury that happened years prior. Case Presentation: A 45-year-old female was involved in a motor vehicle accident where her right leg was injured. She underwent several surgeries and developed CRPS that significantly reduced her mobility and quality of life. She presented to the pain clinic years after her initial injury and a multimodal regimen was started for her resulting in significantly improved function. Conclusion: CRPS can be a severely debilitating condition. While early diagnosis and management are important, ongoing management in the outpatient chronic pain setting is important in maintaining a good level of function.展开更多

Objective: To study cases of external otitis at the Mamou Regional Hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study conducted over a period of six (6) months from July 1st to December 31st, 2016. It included all patients admitted to the ENT department of the Mamou Regional Hospital. Results: During the study period, 712 patients were admitted to the department for various pathologies, of which 103 met our selection criteria, representing a frequency of 14.46%. The mean age of the patients was 33.74 years with a range of 1 to 90 years. Males predominated in the sample, accounting for 59.22%. The vast majority of patients resided in urban areas, constituting 61.17% of the sample. In our study, all patients consulted for otalgia (100%), and over half (53.39%) for hypoacusis. We formally identified rhinitis in 66.66% of cases, while diabetes was found in only 4 patients (11.11%). Otomycosis was the most commonly identified condition (53.39%), followed by furuncles (33.98%). Ear drops containing antibiotics were administered to all patients, although 66.60% received antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: External otitis is a relatively common condition, particularly among children and the elderly. Diagnosis can be made based on pain upon traction of the pinna and pressure on the tragus.展开更多

The objective of this study was to conduct an epidemiological and clinical analysis of ORL and cervicofacial injuries observed in victims of road accidents treated at the Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) department of the Regional Hospital of Mamou. Materials and Methods: This prospective and descriptive study was conducted over a period of 12 months, from January 1st to December 31st, 2021, within the Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) department of the Regional Hospital of Mamou. It included patients hospitalized for ORL and/or cervicofacial traumas resulting from road accidents during the study period. Results: A total of 348 cases were included, representing 36.22% of all traumas related to road accidents (AVP) within the Regional Hospital of Mamou. The average age of the patients was 26.44 years, with a sex ratio of 3.83, favoring males. The dominant socio-professional category was students, encompassing 32.47% of cases. Road accidents were mainly associated with motorcycle use (31.32% motorcycle-to-motorcycle, 24.43% motorcycle skidding, 13.51% motorcycle-pedestrian). Facial region injuries were the most common, accounting for 69.03% of cases, followed by rhinological injuries (17.28%) and otological injuries (13.69%). Associated injuries were predominantly closed head traumas (52.55%) and lower limb fractures (20.41%). Imaging was underutilized. Regarding surgical interventions, reconstructive surgery was the most predominant, accounting for 52.51% of cases, with a management timeframe of 30 minutes to 12 hours for 99.72% of patients. Conclusion: Road traffic accidents remain a serious public health issue, primarily affecting young males. Emphasis should be placed on road safety measures to reduce the frequency of these accidents.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND: Recent findings have demonstrated that the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) participates in the pathological process of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Kallikrein gene transfer exhibits neural protective effects following cerebral infarction. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of kallikrein gene transfer on vascular proliferation in the peripheral infarct focus and on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The completely randomized, controlled experiment was performed at the Lin Baixin Laboratory Center, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sun University between September 2007 and April 2008. MATERIALS: pUCI9-HTK plasmid was constructed and maintained in the Laboratory for Neurology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, China. Mouse anti-human kallikrein 1 monoclonal antibody was purchased from R&D Systems, USA. METHODS Ninety healthy, male, Sprague Dawley rats were used. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was established in all rats to induce cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Following MCAO establishment, all rats were randomly divided into three groups (n = 30): blank control, saline, and pAdCMV-HTK. The saline and pAdCMV-HTK groups were stereotactically micro-injected with 5μL of physiological saline or with pAdCMV-HTK [multiplicity of infection (MOI) = 20], respectively, into the ischemic penumbra. In the blank control group, only sham injection was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At 12, 24, and 72 hours after treatment, cerebral infarction volume was measured by 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Exogenous HTK expression, as well as regional vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, was detected by immunohistochemistry. rCBF was examined by 14C-iodoantipyrine micro tracing. In addition, neurological severity score (NSS) was performed. Higher scores indicated more severe neurological deficits. RESULTS: NSS results demonstrated that compared with the saline and the blank control groups, the pAdCMV-HTK group exhibited lower NSSs 24 hours after pAdCMV-HTK injection (P 〈 0.05). The NSSs were further decreased after 72 hours (P 〈 0.01). Cerebral infarction volume at 24 hours, and in particular at 72 hours after treatment, was significantly reduced in the pAdCMV-HTK group compared with the blank control and saline groups (P 〈 0.05). The rCBF in the area surrounding the infarction lesion was slightly decreased in all groups compared with the contralateral area. At 24 and 72 hours following treatment, the rCBF in the peripheral infarction lesion was significantly elevated in the pAdCMV-HTK group compared with the blank control and saline groups (P 〈 0.05). Immunohistochemistry results revealed that VEGF-positive cells were primarily found in the cortex and in some white matter surrounding the cerebral infarction lesion. In addition, the expression of VEGF in the pAdCMV-HTK group was significantly higher compared with that in the blank control and saline groups at 12, 24, and 72 hours following treatment (P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION: Following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, kallikrein gene transfer can promote vascular proliferation in the brain tissue surrounding the infarction lesion, improve rCBF, and reduce infarction volume, thereby exhibiting protective effects to attenuate neurological deficits.
文摘BACKGROUND: Many treatments have been proposed for non-resectable primary or secondary hepatic cancer but the results have been disappointing. Isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) was attempted five decades ago but it has been ac- cepted recently after spectacular tumour responses were ob- tained by several phase trials. DATA SOURCES: An English-language literature search using MEDLINE (2003), Index Medicus (2003) and biblio- graphic reviews of books and review articles. IHP and its history and recent clinical application. RESULTS: IHP offers unique pharmacokinetic advantages for locoregional chemotherapy and biotherapy. Surgical isolation of the liver and percutaneous techniques using bal- loon occlusion catheters are reliable and safe. They appear to have significant efficacy even in patients with advanced tumor burden or those with tumors refractory to other types of therapy. CONCLUSION: IHP which has been developed in recent years is becoming a promising strategy for the treatment of unresectable liver cancer.
文摘Objective:To study the effect of systemic intravenous chemotherapy combined with regional arterial perfusion chemoembolization on the malignancy of locally advanced gastric cancer. Methods:A total of 90 patients with primary gastric cancer who received treatment in Tianyou Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science & Technology between January 2014 and May 2016 were collected and divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method, 45 cases in each group. The control group of patients received routine systemic intravenous chemotherapy + surgical treatment, and the observation group of patients received systemic intravenous chemotherapy combined with local arterial perfusion chemoembolization + surgical treatment. Levels of tumor markers and angiogenesis factors in serum as well as the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in gastric cancer tissue were compared between the two groups of patients before and after chemotherapy.Results:Before chemotherapy, the levels of tumor markers and angiogenesis factors in serum as well as the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in gastric cancer tissue were not significantly different between the two groups of patients;after chemotherapy, serum CEA, CA724, CA242, AFP, VEGF, Ang-2, COX2 and PD-ECGF levels of observation group were lower than those of control group, andiASPP, p130Cas, ERBB2 and C-myc mRNA expression in gastric cancer tissue were lower than those of control group while GKN1, p16, PTEN, TSPYL5 and merlin mRNA expression in gastric cancer tissue were higher than those of control group.Conclusions: Preoperative systemic intravenous chemotherapy combined with regional arterial perfusion chemoembolization can effectively reduce the malignancy of locally advanced gastric cancer and provide favorable conditions for the operation.
文摘The last decade has been notable for increasing high-quality research and dramatic improvement in outcomes with dynamic liver preservation.Robust evidence from numerous randomized controlled trials has been pooled by meta-analyses,providing the highest available evidence on the protective effect of machine perfusion(MP)over static cold storage in liver transplantation(LT).Based on a protective effect with less complications and improved graft survival,the field has seen a paradigm shift in organ preservation.This editorial focuses on the role of MP in LT and how it could become the new“gold standard”.Strong collaborative efforts are needed to explore its effects on long-term outcomes.

文摘The widespread uptake of different machine perfusion(MP)strategies for liver transplant has been driven by an effort to minimize graft injury.Damage to the cholangiocytes during the liver donation,preservation,or early posttransplant period may result in stricturing of the biliary tree and inadequate biliary drainage.This problem continues to trouble clinicians,and may have catastrophic consequences for the graft and patient.Ischemic injury,as a result of compromised hepatic artery flow,is a well-known cause of biliary strictures,sepsis,and graft failure.However,very similar lesions can appear with a patent hepatic artery and these are known as ischemic type biliary lesions(ITBL)that are attributed to microcirculatory dysfunction rather than main hepatic arterial compromise.Both the warm and cold ischemic period duration appear to influence the onset of ITBL.All of the commonly used MP techniques deliver oxygen to the graft cells,and therefore may minimize the cholangiocyte injury and subsequently reduce the incidence of ITBL.As clinical experience and published evidence grows for these modalities,the impact they have on ITBL rates is important to consider.In this review,the evidence for the three commonly used MP strategies(abdominal normothermic regional perfusion[A-NRP],hypothermic oxygenated perfusion[HOPE],and normothermic machine perfusion[NMP])for ITBL prevention has been critically reviewed.Inconsistencies with ITBL definitions used in trials,coupled with variations in techniques of MP,make interpretation challenging.Overall,the evidence suggests that both HOPE and A-NRP prevent ITBL in donated after circulatory death grafts compared to cold storage.The evidence for ITBL prevention in donor after brain death grafts with any MP technique is weak.

文摘CO_(2)is one of the most important greenhouse gases(GHGs)in the earth’s atmosphere.Since the industrial era,anthropogenic activities have emitted excessive quantities of GHGs into the atmosphere,resulting in climate warming since the 1950s and leading to an increased frequency of extreme weather and climate events.In 2020,China committed to striving for carbon neutrality by 2060.This commitment and China’s consequent actions will result in significant changes in global and regional anthropogenic carbon emissions and therefore require timely,comprehensive,and objective monitoring and verification support(MVS)systems.The MVS approach relies on the top-down assimilation and inversion of atmospheric CO_(2)concentrations,as recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)Inventory Guidelines in 2019.However,the regional high-resolution assimilation and inversion method is still in its initial stage of development.Here,we have constructed an inverse system for carbon sources and sinks at the kilometer level by coupling proper orthogonal decomposition(POD)with four-dimensional variational(4DVar)data assimilation based on the weather research and forecasting-greenhouse gas(WRF-GHG)model.Our China Carbon Monito ring and Verification Support at the Regional level(CCMVS-R)system can continuously assimilate information on atmospheric CO_(2)and other related information and realize the inversion of regional and local anthropogenic carbon emissions and natural terrestrial ecosystem carbon exchange.Atmospheric CO_(2)data were collected from six ground-based monito ring sites in Shanxi Province,China to verify the inversion effect of regio nal anthropogenic carbon emissions by setting ideal and real experiments using a two-layer nesting method(at 27 and 9 km).The uncertainty of the simulated atmospheric CO_(2)decreased significantly,with a root-mean-square error of CO_(2)concentration values between the ideal value and the simulated after assimilation was close to 0.The total anthropogenic carbon emissions in Shanxi Province in 2019 from the assimilated inversions were approximately 28.6%(17%-38%)higher than the mean of five emission inventories using the bottomup method,showing that the top-down CCMVS-R system can obtain more comprehensive information on anthropogenic carbon emissions.

文摘Chlorfenapyr is a liposoluble insecticide belonging to the pyrrole family.Chlorfenapyr is activated when the N-ethoxymethyl side chain breaks,forming a toxic metabolite,which uncouples oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria,inhibits the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP),and leads to the death of cells and targe organisms.[1] Symptoms of chlorfenapyr poisoning in patients are mild and atypical in the early stage,especially in patients receiving low dose exposure;however,such cases are rare and may be ignored by physicians,often leading to delayed treatment.[2,3].

文摘El Nino-Southern Oscillation(ENSO),the leading mode of global interannual variability,usually intensifies the Hadley Circulation(HC),and meanwhile constrains its meridional extension,leading to an equatorward movement of the jet system.Previous studies have investigated the response of HC to ENSO events using different reanalysis datasets and evaluated their capability in capturing the main features of ENSO-associated HC anomalies.However,these studies mainly focused on the global HC,represented by a zonal-mean mass stream function(MSF).Comparatively fewer studies have evaluated HC responses from a regional perspective,partly due to the prerequisite of the Stokes MSF,which prevents us from integrating a regional HC.In this study,we adopt a recently developed technique to construct the three-dimensional structure of HC and evaluate the capability of eight state-of-the-art reanalyses in reproducing the regional HC response to ENSO events.Results show that all eight reanalyses reproduce the spatial structure of HC responses well,with an intensified HC around the central-eastern Pacific but weakened circulations around the Indo-Pacific warm pool and tropical Atlantic.The spatial correlation coefficient of the three-dimensional HC anomalies among the different datasets is always larger than 0.93.However,these datasets may not capture the amplitudes of the HC responses well.This uncertainty is especially large for ENSO-associated equatorially asymmetric HC anomalies,with the maximum amplitude in Climate Forecast System Reanalysis(CFSR)being about 2.7 times the minimum value in the Twentieth Century Reanalysis(20CR).One should be careful when using reanalysis data to evaluate the intensity of ENSO-associated HC anomalies.

文摘Background:There are substantial regional differences in drinking alcohol in Russia,both at the population and individual levels.However,the causes of these differences have not been studied yet.Objective:The goal of our study was to examine the effect of regional living conditions on individual alcohol consumption by the population of Russia.Methods:For the analysis,we used data from a cross-sectional epidemiological study conducted in 2013-2014.The final analytical sample included 18,130 people aged 25-64 years.We conducted the interviews face to face,based on which any drinking in the last year,as well as alcohol abuse,were considered as a response.Alcohol abuse was recorded when the respondent consumed 5.75 or more grams of pure ethanol per day(75th percentile of average daily alcohol consumption among alcohol drinkers).The assessment of the regional living conditions was accomplished via integral indexing,which was previously performed based on publicly available data for 2010-2014.Associations were assessed using generalized scoring equations with unchanging standard errors.The associations were expressed by odds ratios(OR)and 95%confidence intervals(C).Results:Deterioration of social conditions and increase in demographic depression in the region of residence increased the odds of any drinking(OR 1.51,95%CI:1.33 to 1.72,P<0.001 and OR 1.22,95%CI:1.05 to 1.41,P=0.oo9,respectively).The odds of alcohol abuse increased with the deterioration of social living conditions and the growth of the industrial development in the region:OR 1.35,95%CI:1.14 to 1.59,P<0.001 and OR 1.16,95%CI:1.05 to 1.28,P=0.002,respectively.Conclusion:Our analysis allowed assessing the impact of the regional living conditions on individual drinking alcohol in the population of Russia.

文摘The rising frequency of extreme disaster events seriously threatens the safe and secure operation of the regional integrated electricity-natural gas system(RIENGS).With the growing level of coupling between electric and natural gas systems,it is critical to enhance the load restoration capability of both systems.This paper proposes a coordinated optimization strategy for resilience-enhanced RIENGS load restoration and repair scheduling and transforms it into a mixed integer second-order cone programming(MISOCP)model.The proposed model considers the distribution network reconfiguration and the coordinated repair strategy between the two systems,minimizing the total system load loss cost and repair time.In addition,a bi-directional gas flow model is used to describe the natural gas system,which can provide the RIENGS with more flexibility for load restoration during natural gas system failure.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified by conducting case studies on the test systems RIENGS E13-G7 and RIENGS E123-G20.

文摘In its new development stage,China seeks to derive new dynamism from reform and opening up at a higher level to boost consumption and services.This process coincides with a further differentiation of comparative advantages across regions.Economic activity and population will continue to concentrate in clusters in coastal and central cities amid a continuous outflow of population from remote areas.Development expansion from coastal to interior regions and from central cities to the periphery will promote a new regional development paradigm of“dual centers and periphery”.Therefore,China’s regional development strategy should follow the new theory of seeking relative equilibrium amid development,identify regions of population inflow and outflow,and explore a new development path of regional specialization and coordination.By deepening market reforms and increasing central government coordination,the country is poised to improve the spatial allocation of resources and unleash institutional dividends in the process of developing a unified national market.
文摘Background: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), previously known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia, is a neuropathic pain condition that usually develops after an injury to an extremity. CRPS can be a debilitating condition with high levels of pain and reduced function. Aim: This case report aims to discuss the multimodal approach in the management of a patient who presented with ongoing poorly controlled pain secondary to CRPS from an injury that happened years prior. Case Presentation: A 45-year-old female was involved in a motor vehicle accident where her right leg was injured. She underwent several surgeries and developed CRPS that significantly reduced her mobility and quality of life. She presented to the pain clinic years after her initial injury and a multimodal regimen was started for her resulting in significantly improved function. Conclusion: CRPS can be a severely debilitating condition. While early diagnosis and management are important, ongoing management in the outpatient chronic pain setting is important in maintaining a good level of function.

文摘Introduction: External otitis (OE) is an acute or chronic inflammation or infection of the external ear resulting from an imbalance in the external auditory canal secondary to microtrauma, maceration, eczema, or a foreign body in the external auditory canal. Objective: To study cases of external otitis at the Mamou Regional Hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study conducted over a period of six (6) months from July 1st to December 31st, 2016. It included all patients admitted to the ENT department of the Mamou Regional Hospital. Results: During the study period, 712 patients were admitted to the department for various pathologies, of which 103 met our selection criteria, representing a frequency of 14.46%. The mean age of the patients was 33.74 years with a range of 1 to 90 years. Males predominated in the sample, accounting for 59.22%. The vast majority of patients resided in urban areas, constituting 61.17% of the sample. In our study, all patients consulted for otalgia (100%), and over half (53.39%) for hypoacusis. We formally identified rhinitis in 66.66% of cases, while diabetes was found in only 4 patients (11.11%). Otomycosis was the most commonly identified condition (53.39%), followed by furuncles (33.98%). Ear drops containing antibiotics were administered to all patients, although 66.60% received antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: External otitis is a relatively common condition, particularly among children and the elderly. Diagnosis can be made based on pain upon traction of the pinna and pressure on the tragus.
文摘Introduction: Otorhinolaryngological (ORL) and cervicofacial traumas encompass injuries affecting the neck, face, and ORL region, resulting from external influence. The objective of this study was to conduct an epidemiological and clinical analysis of ORL and cervicofacial injuries observed in victims of road accidents treated at the Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) department of the Regional Hospital of Mamou. Materials and Methods: This prospective and descriptive study was conducted over a period of 12 months, from January 1st to December 31st, 2021, within the Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) department of the Regional Hospital of Mamou. It included patients hospitalized for ORL and/or cervicofacial traumas resulting from road accidents during the study period. Results: A total of 348 cases were included, representing 36.22% of all traumas related to road accidents (AVP) within the Regional Hospital of Mamou. The average age of the patients was 26.44 years, with a sex ratio of 3.83, favoring males. The dominant socio-professional category was students, encompassing 32.47% of cases. Road accidents were mainly associated with motorcycle use (31.32% motorcycle-to-motorcycle, 24.43% motorcycle skidding, 13.51% motorcycle-pedestrian). Facial region injuries were the most common, accounting for 69.03% of cases, followed by rhinological injuries (17.28%) and otological injuries (13.69%). Associated injuries were predominantly closed head traumas (52.55%) and lower limb fractures (20.41%). Imaging was underutilized. Regarding surgical interventions, reconstructive surgery was the most predominant, accounting for 52.51% of cases, with a management timeframe of 30 minutes to 12 hours for 99.72% of patients. Conclusion: Road traffic accidents remain a serious public health issue, primarily affecting young males. Emphasis should be placed on road safety measures to reduce the frequency of these accidents.
