Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association for management guidelines of vacuum sealing drainage application in abdominal surgeries-Update and systematic review.

Vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) is frequently used in abdominal surgeries. However, relevant guidelines are rare. Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association organized a committee composed of 28 experts across China in July 2017, aiming to provide an evidence-based recommendation for the application of VSD in abdominal surgeries.

"One-stop hybrid procedure" in the treatment of vascular injury of lower extremity.

As a new surgical technique, "one-stop hybrid procedure" is rarely applied in trauma patients. This paper aims to explore its role in vascular injury of the lower extremity. Vascular intervention combined with open surgery was performed to treat three cases of vessel injuries of the lower extremity in our hybrid operating room.

Abscess formation in vertebral canal and presacral area following penetrating injury of rectum and sacral vertebra by a steel rod.

Penetrating injury to the rectum, vertebral body and spinal cord by a steel rod is a rare condition. Treatment of this kind of injury is very challenging. Rectal injury requires repair and fecal diversion, while debridement of the spine is difficult, especially when the injury site is very long.

Surgical treatment strategy for multiple injury patients in ICU.

Objective: To investigate the surgical treatment for patients with multiple injuries in ICU.

Methods: Clinical data of 163 multiple injury patients admitted to ICU of our hospital from January 2006 to January 2009 were retrospectively studied, including 118 males and 45 females, with the mean age of 36.2 years (range, 5-67 years).

Efficacy of polyethylene glycol 4000 on constipation of posttraumatic bedridden patients.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of polyethylene glycol 4000 on adult patients with functional constipation due to posttraumatic confinement to bed.

Methods: A total of 201 posttraumatic bedridden patients were studied in this prospective, open-labeled, single-group study. Polyethylene glycol 4000 was administered orally for 14 days and the dosage was adjusted according to the Bristol stool types.

Functional significance of CD14 promoter polymorphisms and their clinical relevance in a Chinese Han population.

Objective: Several polymorphisms in the CD14 promoter have been reported to be associated with various inflammatory diseases. However, conflicting results have been shown in association studies in different populations. This study aimed to investigate the possible functional significance of both the G-1145A and T-159C polymorphisms in the CD14 promoter and their association with organ dysfunction and sepsis in adult trauma patients.

Treatment of abdominal injuries: a report of 522 cases.

Objective: To make a summary of the experiences in the treatment of abdominal injuries.

Methods: A retrospective study was done on 522 cases of abdominal injuries in our department from January 1986 to December 2004.

Results: Of all,382 cases were treated by surgery and 140 by conservative method.

A new alkaloid from Salsola collina.

Salsola collina is widely distributed in droughty and semi-droughty area, which is used as a kind of folk remedy in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of hypertension. The study is on the chemical constituents of this herb from its aerial parts to obtain its active constituents. Dried and crushed aerial parts of this herb were extracted three times with 95% EtOH at reflux.

[Relationship of myeloid differentiation-2 gene promoter polymorphisms with susceptivity of complications after severe trauma in Chinese Han population].

Objective: To investigate the polymorphisms of myeloid differentiation-2 (MD-2) gene promoters, and to explore whether such polymorphisms are associated with the susceptibility to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and sepsis in Chinese Han population.

Methods: Using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method, the authors detected the single nucleotide polymorphisms of the promoter region of MD-2 gene at position - 1625C/G in 105 severe trauma patients (42 with sepsis). The organ function was scored.

[Studies on chemical constituents of Salsola collina].

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of Salsola collina.

Method: The EtOH extract from the whole plant of S. collina were isolated and purified by column chromatography.

[Analysis of the influence on the prognosis and safety of arginine in patients with severe trauma and burns--a multi-center randomized double blinded, placebo controlled, clinical trail in 86 patients].

Objective: To observe the influence on prognosis and possible side-effects of arginine in

Methods: Multi-center clinical trial, randomized double blinded patients with severe trauma and burns. and placebo control methods were employed in the study. Eighty-six patients with severe trauma and burns were randomly divided into control (C, n = 45) and arginine treatment (Arg, n = 41) groups.

[Treatment of open fracture by vacuum sealing technique and internal fixation].

Objective: To investigate the effect of vacuum sealing(VS) technique and emergency internal fixation on the management of limbs open fracture and soft tissue dirty defects.

Methods: Fourteen patients (18 limbs) with open fracture and soft tissue dirty defects were treated by the VS technique and internal fixation after debridement and 14 patients managed by traditional method as control group. Wound surface were covered with polyvinyl alcohol foams with embedded drainage tubes connected with vacuum bottle (negative pressure of 50 to 60 kPa) after wound surface were debrided and fracture were fixed.

[Treatment of traumatic soft tissue defect by vacuum sealing].

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of vacuum sealing in treatment of traumatic soft tissue defect.

Methods: From 1998. 8 to 2001.
