Objective: To investigate the characteristics of the confined space accident and its medical rescue strategy.

Methods: Thirty-six patients with emergency rescue in the five confined space accident during June 2009 to July 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: Twenty-nine people were caught in four confined space accidents caused by building collapse and 7 people were caught in one confined space accident caused by a tower of babel blast furnace damage which caused severe gas and hydrogen sulfide poisoning.

We aimed to determine the expression of microRNA-203 (miR-203) in human lung cancer cell lines and to evaluate the effects of miR-203 by targeting survivin, on the lung cancer cell line 95-D to provide potential new strategies for treating lung cancer. The expression of miR-203 was detected using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in the in vitro cultured lung cancer cells A549, HCC827, NCI-H1299, and 95-D as well as in normal human bronchial epithelial cells. Following a 72-h transfection with the miR-203 precursor in 95-D lung cancer cells, the change in miR-203 expression was detected using qRT-PCR and the resulting effect on survivin protein expression was ascertained by Western blot analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how effective and safe enoxaparin, a low molecular weight heparin, is in preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after surgery.
  • Out of 1928 surgical patients, those receiving enoxaparin had significantly lower rates of DVT (2.9% vs. 6.1%) and PE (0.3% vs. 1.4%) during hospitalization compared to the control group, and this trend continued during follow-up.
  • The administration of enoxaparin was linked to slightly higher occurrences of minor and major bleeding compared to the control group, but the overall safety profile remained acceptable.*

Objective: To improve the range of use and efficiency of first-aid in a disaster, a mobile intensive care unit (ICU) ambulance was designed and evaluated.

Methods: The data of disasters, accidental injury in astronauts, injuries occurred in conflicts in foreign nations were reviewed and analyzed, together with our clinical experience of first-aid, a mobile ICU in an ambulance was designed.

Results: Provided with automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation apparatus and instruments for surgical life-saving operation, the mobile ICU ambulance could allow the occupants to perform effective rescue means during rush hour of urban traffic.
