Extensor carpi radialis brevis transfer to extensor pollicis longus :an anatomical study / 中华显微外科杂志

Objective To investigate the anatomical basic of extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon transferring to extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon.Methods Twelve sides of ECRB and EPL in fresh adult cadaver's forearms were collected,and the anatomical model of ECRB transferring to EPL was set up in all the forearms.The anatomical parameters of EPL were measured before and after anatomical model established.Results The effective transferring length of ECRB was (3.5±0.8)cm;the maximum circumferential of ECRB and EPL were (8.5±0.8)cm and (3.6±0.3)cm (P ＞0.05),the ratio of muscle cross-sectional area was 5.57;After the anatomical model setting up,anatomic angles of EPL was (30±7)°,which was a decrease of (20±5) ° comparing with the preoperative angel of (50±9) ° (P ＞0.05);Thumb extension angle was (50± 12) °,which was a decrease of (8±3) ° comparing with the preoperative angel of (58 ± 16) ° (P＜0.05);The dorsal extension angle of first metacarpal was (12±5)o,which was a decrease of (3± 2) o comparing with the preoperative angle (15±8)° (P＞0.05);Thumb tip lifting height was (2.3±0.9) c m,which was a decrease of (1.2±0.6)cm comparing with the preoperative height (3.5±1.2)cm (P ＞0.05).Conclusion Based on the measurement of the anatomic parameters of ECRB and EPL,the ECRB has enough length and muscle force to reconstruct the function of EPL.The thumb had a good extension appearance and accorded with the rule of biomechanics after setting up the anatomical model of ECRB transferring to EPL.This study will provide the anatomical evidence for further clinical application

Application of intravascular interventional embolization in emergency treatment of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To evaluate the value of intravascular interventional embolization in the emergency treatment of patients with hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture.Methods The retrospective analysis was made on the medical records of 45 cases treated from October 2012 to December 2014.There were 27 male and 18 females(39.2-± 10.3) years (range,28-54 years).Time from injury to admission was within 3 h.Injury severity score (ISS) was (25.3 ± 8.1) points.The pelvic fracture included 32 cases of Type B and 13 Type C according to Tile classification system.After admission,anti-shock treatment and pelvic immobilization with the belt or external fixator were performed,and emergent intravascular interventional embolization was used to stanch bleeding after the bleeding of other organs was excluded.Vascular intervention,post-treatment vitazl signs and prognosis were evaluated.Results Time from admission to interventional therapy was 1.2-2.7 h [(1.9 ± 0.8) h].Time of interventional treatment was 1.6-3.2 h [(2.3-± 0.6) h].Of the 45 cases,contrast extravasation was seen in 38 cases,abnormal vascular morphology in 5 cases,no obvious bleeding in 1 case,and contrast extravasation in the angiographic venous phase in 1 case.Among the 38 cases of contrast extravasation,the offending vessels involved were internal pudenda artery (26 cases),obturator artery (16 cases),superior gluteal artery (4 cases),inferior gluteal artery (4 cases),inferior epigastric artery (1 case) and external iliac artery (1 case),but 8 cases were noted to have two offending vessels and 1 case had delayed bleeding.Of the 45 cases,the hemostatic effect was good in the early stage.After the interventional embolization therapy,the heart rate was (105.2 ± 14.8) beats/min,arterial pressure was (79.0 ± 10.6) mmHg,central venous pressure was (5.1 ± 0.8) cmH2O,and shock index was 1.1 ±-0.5,showing improved vital signs postoperatively (P ＜ 0.05).Four cases died mainly due to the multiple organ failure.One case had abdominal distention aggravated 3 days after operation,which were confirmed to be bleeding in the branch of external iliac artery,and the symptom was alleviated after embolization therapy.Forty-one cases survived with ICU length of stay of (14.5 ± 5.4) d,hospitalization time of (35.2 ± 12.8) d and medical expense of (96,755.3-± 20,568.1) CNY.Conclusion In the emergency treatment of patients with hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture,the intravascular interventional embolization has become an important measure of comprehensive treatment that allows fast and mini-invasive procedure hemostasis,and deserves clinical promoting.

Comparison of the characteristics of the medical humanities education between Chinese and American medical colleges and its enlightenment / 中华医学教育探索杂志

American medical colleges attach great importance to the humanistic education.The rich humanities curriculum is fully integrated into the teaching practice thus the mutual penetration of medicine and the humanities is achieved.They have specific and detailed examination evaluation system and the teaching method was more practical and participatory.By contrast,nost of the medical colleges in our country neglect the humanities construction and the cultivation of medical students' humanistic spirit.The coverage of the humanities curriculum is relatively narrow and the faculty is insufficient.We should promote the development of humanistic cducation,attach importance to the construction of medical humanities,set up appropriate curriculum system,increase the investment in faculty and reform the teaching method and examination method.

Analysis of diagnosis and treatment of 226 cases with severe multiple injuries in EICU / 中国基层医药

Objective To explore the strategies of diagnosis and treatment of severe multiple injuries in Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU).Methods The clinical data of 226 patients with severe multiple injuries were analyzed retrospectively.188 patients were treated by surgical operation,and 38 patients were not treated by surgical operation.Results Among these patients,46 patients (accounted for 20.3%)were with pulmonary infection and atelectasis,41 patients (accounting for 18.1%)were with multiple -organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), 35 patients (accounted for 15.5%)were with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),and 19 patients (accounted for 8.4%)were with stress ulceration and bleeding.198 patients (accounted for 87.6%)were successfully rescued, and 28 patients (accounted for 12.3%)died.The main cause of death in the early stage was the serious craniocerebral injury,and the main cause of death in the later stage was the multiple -organ dysfunction.Conclusion EICU plays a very important role in comprehensive treatment of severe multiple injuries,and can obviously increase the success rate of treatment and cure of severe multiple injuries.
