RESUMEN
During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effect of different ischemic preconditioning (IPC) modes on ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury of skeletal muscle in rats.Methods:Forty male SD rats were selected to construct the model of IR injury of skeletal muscle by clamping one side of the femoral artery. In the IPC mode, the right femoral artery was clipped for 10 minutes, and reperfusion ensued for 10 minutes after the release of artery clamp. Such preconditioning procedure was repeated 3 times. The rats were divided into conventional IR group, IPC immediate group, IPC24-hour group, IPC48-hour group and sham operation group according to the random number table method, with 8 rats in each group.In conventional IR group, the right femoral artery was clipped for 3 hours and then the artery clamp was released to allow reperfusion for 3 hours. In IPC immediate group, the same treatment as conventional IR group was performed immediately after preconditioning. In IPC24-hour group, the rats received skin suturing after preconditioning and then fed in a cage for 24 hours before the same treatment as conventional IR group. In IPC48-hour group, the rats received skin suturing after preconditioning and then fed in a cage for 48 hours before the same treatment as conventional IR group. In sham operation group, the right femoral artery was bluntly separated but not clipped. At the end of reperfusion, the tibialis anterior muscle tissue, gastrocnemius muscle tissue and serum were collected. The ratio of wet weight to dry weight (W/D) of the tibialis anterior muscle tissue was calculated to evaluate tissue edema. After HE staining, histopathological changes of gastrocnemius muscle were observed and the injury severity of gastrocnemius tissue was scored. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by ELISA. Expressions of hypoxia receptor (EGLN1) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in the gastrocnemius tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR).Results:The degree of tissue edema was reduced under different IPC modes when compared with conventional IR group (all P<0.01). The W/D in conventional IR group, IPC immediate group, IPC24-hour group and IPC48-hour group were 6.05±0.19, 5.70±0.12, 5.25±0.13 and 5.50±0.08, higher than 3.80±0.08 in sham operation group (all P<0.01). IPC24-hour group had the least degree of edema when compared with IPC immediate group and IPC48-hour group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The muscle fibers in sham operation group were neatly arranged with clear structure, and the muscle fibers in other groups showed different degrees of injury and inflammatory infiltration. The total scores for tissue injury severity in IPC immediate group, IPC24-hour group and IPC48-hour group were (8.15±0.15)points, (6.15±0.38)points and (6.90±0.19)points, lower than (9.60±0.50)points in conventional IR group and higher than (0.16±0.16)points in sham operation group (all P<0.01). The total scores for tissue injury severity in IPC24-hour group and IPC48-hour group were not significantly different ( P>0.05), but both decreased when compared with IPC immediate group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). ELISA showed that the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and MDA under different IPC modes were higher than those in sham operation group (all P<0.01), and the order from high to low was conventional IR group, IPC immediate group, IPC48-hour group, IPC24-hour group and sham operation group. Levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and MDA in IPC24-hour group were decreased when compared with IPC immediate group and IPC48-hour group (all P<0.05). qRT-PCR showed that the expression of EGLN1 mRNA from high to low was conventional IR group, IPC48-hour group, sham operation group, IPC immediate group and IPC24-hour group and that the expression of EGLN1 mRNA in IPC24-hour group decreased when compared with conventional IR group, IPC immediate group and IPC48-hour group (all P<0.01). The expression of HIF-1α mRNA increased under different IPC modes when compared with sham operation group (all P<0.01), and the order from high to low was IPC24-hour group, IPC immediate group, IPC48-hour group, conventional IR group and sham operation group. The expression of HIF-1α mRNA in IPC24-hour group increased when compared with conventional IR group, IPC immediate group and IPC48-hour group ( P<0.05 or 0.01), but there was no significant difference between IPC immediate group and IPC48-hour group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Different ischemic preconditioning modes can reduce IR injury of skeletal muscle in rats by reducing tissue edema, inflammatory symptoms and oxidative stress response, among which reperfusion 24 hours after IPC has the best effect on IR injury. EGLN1 and HIF-1α may be involved in IPC to alleviate IR injury of skeletal muscle in rats.
RESUMEN
Tetanus consists of neonatal tetanus and non-neonatal tetanus. Non-neonatal tetanus remains a serious public health problem, although neonatal tetanus has been eliminated in China since 2012. Non-neonatal tetanus is a potential fatal disease. In the absence of medical intervention, the mortality rate of severe cases is almost 100%. Even with vigorous treatment, the mortality rate remains 30%-50% globally. These specifications aim to regulate non-neonatal tetanus diagnosis and treatment in China, in order to improve medical quality and safety. These specifications introduce the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and laboratory tests, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, grading and treatment of non-neonatal tetanus.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of cervical spine injury associated with chest injury by contrast with simple cervical spine injury.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on records of 116 patients with cervical spine injury hospitalized from March 2009 to September 2014.There were 65 patients with simple cervical spine injury (simple injury group) and 51 patients with associated chest injury (associated injury group).Data recorded were the causes of injury, injury segment, treatment choices (tracheotomy rate, mechanical ventilation use and non-operative treatment), treatment time (operation rate at different time, time from injury to operation and length of hospital stay) , complications (electrolyte disorder, respiratory infection, respiratory dysfunction or failure, urinary tract infection, gastrointestinal bleeding and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome), and treatment outcome.Results The main cause of injury for the two groups was high falling.Lower cervical segment was the most likely to be affected.Significant differences were detected between the simple injury group and associated injury group with regard to tracheotomy rate (63％ vs.42％), rate of mechanical ventilation (41％ vs.25％), rate of early surgery (29％ vs.58％), rate of delayed surgery (69％ vs.30％), time from injury to operation [(7.2 ± 3.7) d vs.(3.1 ± 1.3) d], length of hospital stay [(22.6-± 5.5) d vs.(17.3 ± 3.7)d], electrolyte disorder rate (35％ vs.17％), incidence of respiratory system infection (55％ vs.35％), and respiratory dysfunction (43％ vs.25％) (P ＜0.05).After treatment, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) scale for grade D was significantly lower in associated injury group than in simple injury group (25％ vs.39％ P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Cervical spine injury associated with chest injury is severe injury, often requiring tracheotomy and mechanical ventilation, and demonstrates difficulties to be effectively treated in the early phase, long hospitalization, various complications and high morbidity.
RESUMEN
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common problem that is receiving attention with the advent of novel treatment procedures. Prior positional MRI studies demonstrated lumbar canal diameter changes with flexion and extension. There have not been any studies to examine the amount of spinal canal diameter change relative to the amount of angular motion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the lumbar canal diameter change and the angular motion quantitatively.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Positional MRI (pMRI) images for 491 patients, including 310 males and 181 females (16 years-85 years of age), were obtained with the subjects in sitting flexion 40 degree, upright, and with extension of 10 degrees within a 0.6 T Positional MRI scanner. Quantitative measurements of the canal diameter and segmental angle of each level in the sagittal midline plane were obtained for each position. Then the diameter change and angular motion were examined for correlation during flexion and extension with linear regression analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The lumbar segmental angles were lordotic in all positions except L1-2 in flexion. The changes of canal diameters were statistically correlated with the segmental angular motions during flexion and extension (P < 0.001). The amount of canal diameter change correlated with the amount of angular change and was expressed as a ratio.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Positional MRI demonstrated the amount of spinal canal diameter change that was statistically correlated with the segmental angular motion of the spine during flexion and extension. These results may be used to predict the extent of canal diameter change when interspinous devices or positional changes are used to treat spinal stenosis and the amount of increased canal space may be predicted with the amount of angular or positional change of the spine. This may correlate with symptomatic relief and allow for improved success in the treatment of spinal stenosis.</p>

PURPOSE: The authors investigated the effect of lumbar facet tropism (FT) on intervertebral disc degeneration (DD), facet joint degeneration (FJD), and segmental translational motion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using kinetic MRI (KMRI), lumbar FT, which was defined as a difference in symmetry of more than 7degrees between the orientations of the facet joints, was investigated in 900 functional spinal units (300 subjects) in flexion, neutral, and extension postures. Each segment at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 was assessed based on the extent of DD (grade I-V) and FJD (grade 1-4). According to the presence of FT, they were classified into two groups; one with FT and one with facet symmetry. For each group, demographics, DD, FJD and translational segmental motion were compared. RESULTS: The incidence of FT was 34.5% at L3-L4, 35.1% at L4-L5, and 35.2% at L5-S1. Age and gender did not show any significant relationship with FT. Additionally, no correlation was observed between DD and FT. FT, however, wasfound to be associated with a higher incidence of highly degenerated facet joints at L4-L5 when compared to patients without FT (p < 0.01). Finally, FT was not observed to have any effects upon translational segmental motion. CONCLUSION: No significant correlation was observed between lumbar FT and DD or translational segmental motion. However, FT was shown to be associated significantly with the presence of high grades of FJD at L4-L5. This suggests that at active sites of segmental motion, FT may predispose to the development of facet joint degeneration.
