Methods: Sixty SOPP patients treated in the emergency department between January 2022 and January 2024 were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table. The observation group (30 cases) received ultra-early HP treatment, while the reference group (30 cases) received conventional HP treatment initiated 6 hours post-poisoning. The groups were compared in terms of overall emergency efficacy, clinical indicators, serological markers, inflammatory factors, and complication rates. Results: The observation group had a higher total efficacy rate than the reference group, superior clinical indicators, and a lower complication rate (P < 0.05). After 24 hours of emergency treatment, serological markers and inflammatory factor levels in the observation group were lower than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Ultra-early HP treatment provides better emergency outcomes for SOPP patients by shortening treatment time, improving serological markers and inflammatory factor levels, and offering higher safety. It demonstrates significant advantages in emergency care.展开更多

Methods： From September 2008 to March 2009, 35 senile patients with intertrochanteric fracture, aged from 65 to 92 years with an average age of 76.5 years, were treated with PFNA within 24 hours after injury. There were 10 type Ⅰ fractures, 19 type Ⅱand 6 type Ⅲ according to upgraded Evans-Jensen classification system. All patients were complicated with osteoporosis, and 19 patients had preexisting internal medical diseases. According to the rating scale of disease severity by the American Society of Anesthesiologists （ASA）, there were 9 grade Ⅰ, 14 grade Ⅱ, 8 grade Ⅲ, and 4 grade Ⅳ. Results： The duration for operation ranged from 45 to 73 minutes with an average of 57.6 minutes. The volume of blood loss during operation ranged from 50 to 120 ml with an average of 77.5 ml. Patients could ambulate 2-4 days after operation （mean 3.5 days）. Hospital stay was 4-7 days （mean 5.3 days）. Full weight bearing time was 10-14 weeks （mean 12.8 weeks）. During hospitalization period, there was no regional or deep infection, hypostatic pneumonia, urinary tract infection and bedsore except for 2 cases of urine retention. All cases were followed up with an average period of 12.3 months, and bone healing achieved within 15-18 weeks （mean 16.6 weeks）. No complications such as delayed union, coxa vara or coxa valga, screw breakage or backout occurred and only 2 cases had troehanter bursitis because of thin body and overlong end of the antirotated nail. According to the Harris grading scale, the results were defined as excellent in 21 cases, good in 9 cases and fair in 5 cases, with the excellent and good rates of 85.7%. Conclusion： The emergency treatment of senile intertrochanteric fracture with proximal femoral nail antirotation has the advantages of minimal invasion, easy manipulation, less blood loss, shorter length of stay, less complications, and the preliminary clinical effect is satisfactory.展开更多

However, some coastal areas frequently suffer from typhoon with extreme precipitation, which results in the water quality deterioration of the reservoirs. The influence of typhoons with extreme precipitation on Jiaokou reservoir and the emergency treatment process of Maojiaping water treatment plant in the past three typical typhoons with extreme precipitation from the year of 2012-2015 were studied. It was found that the degradation of water quality, such as the increase of turbidity and bacteria index, may not merely appear during the events, but last for several days. Changing the dosage of water purification agent, such as coagulant and disinfectant at right time and place may be an efficient emergency water treatment process. Based on the analysis of water quality variation rule during and after the events, it was also found that emergency treatment can be fully prepared before the arrival of a typhoon with extreme precipitation. And in order to better respond to the typhoon with extreme precipitation, several suggestions are also proposed in this paper as follows: establishing vegetated buffers at right place, such as macrophanerophytes,shrub or herbage, increasing investments in infrastructure management, merging or cancelling the small-scale water treatment plants, preparing adequate water purification agent before the typhoon comes, etc.展开更多

The groups were compared in terms of overall emergency efficacy, clinical indicators, serological markers, inflammatory factors, and complication rates. Results: The observation group had a higher total efficacy rate than the reference group, superior clinical indicators, and a lower complication rate (P < 0.05). After 24 hours of emergency treatment, serological markers and inflammatory factor levels in the observation group were lower than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Ultra-early HP treatment provides better emergency outcomes for SOPP patients by shortening treatment time, improving serological markers and inflammatory factor levels, and offering higher safety. It demonstrates significant advantages in emergency care.

Based on the analysis of water quality variation rule during and after the events, it was also found that emergency treatment can be fully prepared before the arrival of a typhoon with extreme precipitation. And in order to better respond to the typhoon with extreme precipitation, several suggestions are also proposed in this paper as follows: establishing vegetated buffers at right place, such as macrophanerophytes,shrub or herbage, increasing investments in infrastructure management, merging or cancelling the small-scale water treatment plants, preparing adequate water purification agent before the typhoon comes, etc.

文摘Purpose–The purpose of this study is to introduce the top-level design ideas and the overall architecture of earthquake early-warning system for high speed railways in China,which is based on P-wave earthquake early-warning and multiple ways of rapid treatment.Design/methodology/approach–The paper describes the key technologies that are involved in the development of the system,such as P-wave identification and earthquake early-warning,multi-source seismic information fusion and earthquake emergency treatment technologies.The paper also presents the test results of the system,which show that it has complete functions and its major performance indicators meet the design requirements.Findings–The study demonstrates that the high speed railways earthquake early-warning system serves as an important technical tool for high speed railways to cope with the threat of earthquake to the operation safety.The key technical indicators of the system have excellent performance:The first report time of the P-wave is less than three seconds.From the first arrival of P-wave to the beginning of train braking,the total delay of onboard emergency treatment is 3.63 seconds under 95%probability.The average total delay for power failures triggered by substations is 3.3 seconds.Originality/value–The paper provides a valuable reference for the research and development of earthquake early-warning system for high speed railways in other countries and regions.It also contributes to the earthquake prevention and disaster reduction efforts.
文摘The global incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is escalating considerably.NAFLD covers a range of liver conditions from simple steatosis to the more severe form known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis,which involves chronic liver inflammation and the transformation of hepatic stellate cells into myofibroblasts that generate excess extracellular matrix,leading to fibrosis.Hepatocyte ballooning is a key catalyst for fibrosis progression,potentially advancing to cirrhosis and its decompensated state.Fibrosis is a critical prognostic factor for outcomes in patients with NAFLD;therefore,those with substantial fibrosis require timely intervention.Although liver biopsy is the most reliable method for fibrosis detection,it is associated with certain risks and limitations,particularly in routine screening.Consequently,various noninvasive diagnostic techniques have been introduced.This review examines the increasing prevalence of NAFLD,evaluates the noninvasive diagnostic techniques for fibrosis,and assesses their efficacy in staging the disease.In addition,it critically appraises current and emerging antifibrotic therapies,focusing on their mechanisms,efficacy,and potential in reversing fibrosis.This review underscores the urgent need for effective therapeutic strategies,given the dire consequences of advanced fibrosis.
