Anatomy observation of mine wound amputation stump / 局解手术学杂志

Objective To understand the anatomical features of the mine wound and provide anatomical basis for the treatment through anatomical observation of the mine wound amputation stump. Methods Three mine wound amputation stumps were dissected. The nerves, arteries and veins were separated and the length of the muscle,nerves,blood vessels and bleeding area were measured,respectively. The sec-tions of muscle tissue were observed by microscope. Results Most of the muscle tissues,nerves and blood vessels were torn and the fractures were comminuted. Observed by the microscope found that the distal muscle tissue was broken,the muscle fiber was contracted,ruptured and mortified. The muscle tissues of proximal part showed edema,most of the muscle fiber was normal and light stain,their texture was fuzzy. Conclusion The mine wound has remote effect. The shock wave of mine explosion may spread along the limbs,which leads to the tissues ruptured and hemorrhage.

Organ protective effect of ECMO for donors after brain death presented with hemodynamic instability / 中华器官移植杂志

Objective To examine the benefits of ECMO for potential organ donors with hemodynamic instability after brain death.Methods Three brain-dead potential donors who presented with hemodynamic instability despite maximal medical management,finished a declaration of brain death,that were supported by extracorporeal circulation membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Results Donor organs,including six kidneys,and two livers,were harvested from the three donors under ECMO support,leading to 8 successful transplantations.The organs functioned well and the recipients made full recoveries.Conclusion Our experience indicates that ECMO allows for the maintenance of abdominal organ tissue perfusion without warm ischemia before organ procurement,providing sufficient time for safe organ donation procedures and reducing the risk of unpredictable cardiac arrest that could result in the donor death and graft loss.

Reasons for Medical equipment’s not Being Repaired and Returned on Time / 医疗卫生装备

The reasons why some medical treatment facilities (MTF) can not be repaired and returned on time in some medical therapy units are explained. Countermeasures are put forward: repairing and supervising mechanisms must be established between the medical therapy units and factories in time; professional maintainers can be asked to repair MTF or cooperate with technicians in hospital when necessary so as to keep MTF in good condition.
