ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the relationship between arrival time and the retention in emergency room and the prognosis in patients with severe trauma.Methods:The clinical data of 1 738 emergency trauma patients in emergency intensive care from trauma center information system of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were extracted. The emergency retention was the time in the emergency room ≥ 4 h. The 24 h of the day was divided into three shifts at 8:00, 15:00 and 22:00. Logistic regression model was used to calculate the crude OR and adjusted OR after adjustment by age, sex and RTS of emergency shifts, and COX regression analysis was performed with emergency death as the endpoint. Results:Among the total of 1 738 patients with severe trauma, there were 852 (49.02%) cases of emergency retention. Taking the morning shift as the reference baseline, the risks of emergency retention in middle shift and night shift were increased gradually. The OR value of night shift was statistically significant ( P<0.01), and the crude OR and adjusted OR were 2.21 (95% CI: 1.71-2.86) and 2.36 (95% CI: 1.76-3.18), respectively. The univariate COX regression model indicated that the crude HR of night shift was statistically significant ( HR=0.26, 95% CI: 0.08-0.90, P=0.033). However, the multivariate COX regression model showed no statistically significant differences in the adjusted HR of middle shift ( HR=0.96, 95% CI: 0.43-2.14, P=0.914) and night shift ( HR=0.40, 95% CI: 0.08-1.85, P=0.238), respectively. Conclusions:The arrival time of emergency trauma patients might be a contributor to the emergency retention, and night shift patients are more likely to encounter retention, but there is no significant effect on patient death.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of 630 nm red light and 460 nm blue light emitting diode irradiation on the healing of skin wounds in Japanese big-ear white rabbits. Methods The skin wound model was established with 8 Japanese big-ear white rabbits. Three parts of vulnus in each rabbit were used:two parts of vulnus were irradiated vertically by red and blue LED light,respectively(15 min/time),and the distance between lights and wounds was 15 cm;the 3part of the wound was used as a control. On the 21day of the wounds exposure to light,the number of healing wounds and the percentage of healing area were recorded and the treatment effect of these two light sources was compared. HE staining was used to analyze the newborn tissue structure. Masson staining was used to observe the proliferation of skin collagen fibers. Immuohistochemical staining was used to analyze fibroblast growth factor(FGF),epidermal growth factor(EGF),endothelial growth factor(CD31),proliferating cell nuclear antigen(Ki-67),and inflammatory cytokines(CD68)infiltration in the skin. Results The healing rate in the red light,blue light,and control groups was 50.0%(4/8),25.0%(2/8),and 12.5%(1/8),respectively. Since the 12day after modeling,the healing area percentage in the red light group was significantly higher than those in the blue light and control groups(P<0.05,P<0.01). On the 21day after modeling,the skin thickness of the red light group was(2.95±0.34)mm,which was significantly higher than that in control group [(2.52±0.42)mm;F=3.182,P=0.016)]. The average optical density of collagen fibers was 0.15±0.03 in red light group,which was significantly higher than that of the blue light group(0.09±0.01;F=7.316,P=0.012)and control(0.07±0.01;F=7.316,P=0.003). The results of immunohistochemistry showed the expression levels of EGF,FGF,CD31 antigen,and Ki-67 in the red light group were significantly higher than those in the blue light and control groups,whereas the CD68 expression was significantly lower(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion LED red light irradiation can promote the healing of skin wounds in Japanese big-ear white rabbits,which may be achieved by the effect of red light irradiation in stimulating the proliferation of skin epidermal cells,vascular endothelial cells,and fiberous tissue.
ABSTRACT
Vasculogenic mimicry(VM) refers to the plasticity of malignant tumor cells forming vessel networks to provide blood supply to perfusion of rapidly growing tumors. Key proteins associated with classical, stem cell, hypoxia-related and other multiple signaling pathways, which are involved in regulating functional plasticity of tumor cell VM, have become potential clinical therapeutic targets and diagnostic indicators of the aggressive, metastatic phenotype. VM has been observed in several tumor types and its occurrence is strongly associated with a poor prognosis. This review focuses on the origin and signal molecules and cascades involved in VM, and the clinical significance of VM regarding anti-angiogenesis treatment modalities.
