Incidence and Prognosis of Organ Failure in Severely Injured Children and Adult Patients

Abstract Background: Does there exist a difference in the outcome of severely injured children and severely injured healthy adults? Methods: The data of 1,566 severely injured patients, treated between May 1998 and December 2002 in our emergency department of the University Essen/Germany, were analyzed. Patients with an injury severity score (ISS) > 24 were included in the present study. Patients younger as 18 (17) years were located to the children group c. Patients aged 18 and up to the age of 54 were included in the adult group a. Results: Fifty-four children and 252 adults met the selection criteria. ISS and the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) before intubation were not statistically different in both groups. Seriously injured children stayed significantly shorter on the intensive care unit, required significantly less ventilator days. Furthermore, the incidence of single organ failure (SOF) and multiple organ failure (MOF) was significantly lower in the children group. Mortality in the children group (29.6%) was lower than that in the adult group (33.7%). There was no death due to MOF in the children group as compared to 2.4% (n = 6) in the adults. Conclusion: The incidence of SOF and MOF was significantly lower in the children group although there was no difference in ISS, GCS and injury patterns. The prognosis of severely injured children was found to be better than those of adults. Moreover, there was no death due to MOF in the children group.     

镍铬合金烤瓷修复体394件中远期修复效果回顾性分析

目的:了解镍铬合金烤瓷修复体的中远期修复效果。方法:对我科1995年7月～2005年3月具有完整病历记载并能正常复诊的312例(394件)镍铬合金烤瓷修复体的临床资料进行了回顾性分析。结果:镍铬合金烤瓷修复体3年以上成功率为96.2%,5年以上成功率为92.9%,牙龈炎症、松动脱落、瓷崩是镍铬合金烤瓷修复体失败的3种主要表现。结论:为确保镍铬合金烤瓷修复体的中远期疗效,应从适应证的选择、固位体的设计、基牙制备、烤瓷工艺等方面严格把关。     

2,3-Butanedione monoxime protects mice against the convulsant effect of picrotoxin by facilitating GABA-activated currents

While adult mice receiving picrotoxin (PTX) alone responded with clonic and tonic-clonic seizures, this response was greatly suppressed for mice simultaneously injected with 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM). For example, 60% and 10% of the mice convulsed when injected (i.p.) with 3.0 mg/kg PTX alone or PTX plus 205 mg/kg of BDM, respectively. In contrast, a non-oxime analogue of BDM, 2,3-butanedione (BTD), did not have this anticonvulsant effect. In order to explore the basis for the anticonvulsant effect of BDM, we recorded GABA-activated currents (I_GABA) of frontal cortical as well as ventromedial hypothalamic neurons before, during and after exposure to this oxime. BDM had a biphasic effect on concentrations (100 μM-40 mM) decreased and lower concentrations (0.01 μM–0.001 μM) potentiatedI_GABA; these effects of BDM reversed upon washout of the oxime. In contrast, BTD had no effect onI_GABA. Finally, when 0.001 μM BDM, 10–30 μM PTX and GABA were co-applied the inhibitory effect of the toxin onI_GABA was markedly suppressed. These data suggest that the anticonvulsant effect of oximes involves facilitation of the inhibitory action of GABA.     

鄂托克前旗马场井村改水降氟15年病情防治效果分析

目的：了解改水降氟后地氟病的防治效果。方法：水氟，尿氟测定均为电极法，氟斑牙诊断为Dean‘s法。结果：该村自1985年改饮低氟水，水氟含量由改水前的6.05mg/L降至改水后的0.48mg/L。改水后未出现新的氟骨症患者，8-12岁儿童氟斑牙患病率呈逐年下降趋势，改水后7-15年间氟斑牙病率均已稳定，表明病情得到有效控制，且达到稳定控制状态，结论：坚持长年饮用低氟水，地方性氟中毒就能得到有效控制。     

短串联重复序列HumFGA、D3S1359的法医学应用研究

对短串联重复序列（short tandem repeats，STR）的两个高多态位点HumFGA(human alpha fibrinogen，人类α-纤维蛋白原基因)、D3S1359的法医学应用进行研究，并通过实际检测案件统计结果进行评估。实验结果表明：两位点灵敏度高，分别为0.2、0.5ngDNA；同一性和可重复性均较理想；种属特异性好，常见动物未发现扩增产物，仅灵长类动物（黑叶猴和猕猴）有扩增条带；复合扩增体系效果良好；在352次减数分裂中，D3S1359未发现突变，HumFGA检测到1次，突变率为0.28％；实际案件统计和应用结果也显示两位点是多态性高，实用性强的两个遗传标记系统。HumFGA和D3S1359在法医学个人识别与亲子鉴定案例中有较大应用价值。
