Objective To evaluate the relationship of the organ injury scale (OIS) with clinical characteristics and survival in penetrating cardiac trauma patients. Methods A retrospective review identified 224 patients with penetrating cardiac trauma. A grade assigned on the basis of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma OIS was assigned to each case studied. Clinical data, including Glasgow coma scale(GCS), revised trauma score(RTS), injury severity score (ISS), penetrating thoracic trauma index (PTTI), penetrating trauma index (PTI), and outcomes were analyzed for association with OIS grade. Results The majority of patients were either grade Ⅳ/ or Ⅴ , with grade Ⅵ having the highest mortality. Patients of grade Ⅰ to Ⅲ were mostly Sub-clinical type patients, and grade Ⅳ to Ⅵ were mostly pericardial tamponade type and hemorrhagic shock type patients. The OIS grade was significantly negative correlated with postinjury duration and GCS (r=-0. 18, -0.16), and positive correlated with transfusion, ISS, PTTI, PT1, and death(r=0. 17,0. 22,0. 40,0. 41,0. 29). Conclusion The OIS appears to correlate with severity of injury and survival, and it may be useful in predicting outcomes in patients with penetrating cardiac injury.
目的总结心脏大血管穿透伤的临床特点、早期诊断和救治经验,提高抢救成功率。 方法回顾性分析2007年7月至2014年6月我院26例心脏大血管穿透伤患者的临床资料,男23例、女3例,年龄16~71(22.0±8.4)岁。其中刀刺伤25例,钢锥刺伤1例;心脏穿透伤23例,升主动脉刀刺伤2例,主肺动脉刀刺伤1例;心脏压塞型7例,失血休克型8例,心脏压塞+失血休克型2例,亚临床型9例。26例就诊后30 min至3 h急诊在全身麻醉下行开胸手术治疗,侧开胸手术20例,前正中开胸手术6例,其中2例在体外循环下手术。 结果全组死亡2例,均为失血休克型,1例69岁右心室贯通伤和右冠状动脉主干损伤男性患者术中死于低心排血量综合征,1例38岁右心室前壁穿透伤男性患者术后死于纵隔感染导致的多器官功能衰竭,其余患者痊愈出院,救治成功率达92.3%。18例随访1个月至7年,无后遗症发生。 结论迅速明确伤情,及时诊断,急诊开胸探查是提高心脏大血管穿透伤抢救成功率的关键。
ObjectiveTo investigate whether metformin has protective effect on myocardial injury in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) combined with coronary heart diseases and diabetes.MethodsCOVID-19 patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes who were admitted to Tongji Hospital from January 18 to April 25 in 2020 were enrolled. They were divided into a metformin group and a none-metformin group according to whether the metformin was used. The demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, laboratory parameters, treatment and clinical outcomes of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThere were 29 patients in the metformin group, 3 patients (12.0%, 3/25) suffered myocardial injury and 1 (3.4%) died of acute respiratory failure complicated by septic shock; 67 patients were in the non-metformin group and 24 (37.5%, 24/64) had myocardial injury but 15 died in hospital among whom 1 died of septic shock complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation, 1 acute respiratory failure complicated by possible cerebral hemorrhage, 2 acute respiratory failure, 1 fulminant myocarditis, 3 acute myocardial infarction and 7 cardiac arrest. The incidence of myocardial injury (12.0% vs. 37.5%, P=0.019), hospital mortality (3.4% vs. 22.4%, P=0.034) and mortality of cardiovascular events (0.0% vs. 16.4%, P=0.049) in the metformin group were significantly lower than those in the non-metformin group. Multivariate analysis showed that the use of insulins (OR=11.235, P=0.003) was an influencing factor for in-hospital mortality of patients. The use of metformin (OR=0.154, P=0.013) was positively correlated with the myocardial injury.ConclusionWhen patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes are infected with COVID-19, metformin can effectively reduce myocardial damage and has a certain effect on reducing hospital mortality. Combined with clinical considerations, it is worthy of popularization.
At present, the potential hazards of infrasound on heart health have been identified in previous studies, but a comprehensive review of its mechanisms is still lacking. Therefore, this paper reviews the direct and indirect effects of infrasound on cardiac function and explores the mechanisms by which it may induce cardiac abnormalities. Additionally, in order to further study infrasound waves and take effective preventive measures, this paper reviews the mechanisms of cardiac cell damage caused by infrasound exposure, including alterations in cell membrane structure, modulation of electrophysiological properties, and the biological effects triggered by neuroendocrine pathways, and assesses the impact of infrasound exposure on public health.
