Effect of mild hypothermia on partial pressure of oxygen in brain tissue and brain temperature in patients with severe head injury.
To study the changes of partial pressure of oxygen in brain tissue (P(bt)O(2)) and brain temperature (BT) in patient s in acute phase of severe head injury, and to study the effect of mild hypothermia on P(bt)O(2) and BT. ⋯ This study demonstrates that P(pt)O(2) and BT monitoring is a safe, reliable and sensitive diagnostic method to follow cerebral oxygenation. It might become an important tool in our treatment regime for patients in the acute phase of severe head injury requiring hypothermia and hyperventilation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialGlasgow Coma Scale, brain electric activity mapping and Glasgow Outcome Scale after hyperbaric oxygen treatment of severe brain injury.
To study the effect of hyperbaric oxy gen (HBO) treatment of severe brain injury. ⋯ Hyperbaric oxygen treatment could improve obviously GCS, BEAM and GOS of severe brain injury patients, and effectively reduce the mortality and morbidity. It is an effective method to treat severe brain injury.

Imaging diagnosis of cervical spine and spinal cord injuries in children.
To provide the experience in imaging diagnosis of cervical spine and spinal cord injuries in children. ⋯ Imaging assessment is of great importance in the diagnosis of cervical spine and spinal cord injuries in children. Whenever cervical spine and spinal cord injuries are suspected for children patients, and the three-views should be routinely indicated. MRI should be routinely performed in all children with cervical SCIWORA.

Diagnosis and treatment of spinal fractures combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury.
To study the mechanism and treatment principle of spinal fractures combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury. ⋯ Spinal fractures combined with paraplegia and diaphragm injury are one of the most severe traumas in departments of orthopaedics. Paraplegia can be found easily, but diaphragm injury is often neglected and missed. When a patient suffers from both of them, he is in danger of death. What measures should be taken to rescue the patient's life depends on the severity of the wounds.

Outcome prediction in severe traumatic brain injury with transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
To investigate the value of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography in evaluating the outcome of severe traumatic brain injury and to correlate the TCD values with intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) monitoring. ⋯ TCD ultrasonography is valid in predicting the patient's outcome of 6 months and correlates significantly with ICP and CPP values when it is performed in the first 24 hours of severe traumatic brain injury.
