Objective By analyzing the data of medicine use in a temporary trauma center, which set up by the national emergency medical team of General Hospital of Chengdu Military Region right after the 2015 Nepal earthquake in Kathmandu, to provide reference for the development of medicine emergency plan. Methods All 103 drugs (specifications) are divided into five categories: topical drugs, oral drugs, injectable drugs, drug use in the operating room, disinfectants and infusion. Sorting patient drug consumption, in order to determine whether the drug carries reasonable. Results Within 18 days, 267 patients received treatment, in which 132 patients received debridement, 71 patients were hospitalized, and 35 fractures underwent orthopedic surgery. All of the medicines shipped from China with the medical team, only one exception. Twenty drugs' consumption rates reached 100%, 37 drugs' consumption rates were more than 70%, 60 drugs' consumption rates were more than 50%, only 10 drugs’ consumption rates were zero. Conclusion Before the rescue mission, the preparation of medicine is reasonable. The basic composition of medicine emergency plan should be based on the different rescue mission. And do some adjustments according to the local climate and natural environment.
ObjectiveTo understand the prevention and control effects of iodine deficiency disorders and its progression trend of disease condition in Chongqing. MethodsOne primary school was randomly selected as longitudinal surveillance sites in each of 4 counties in Chongqing city. A total of 90 children aged 8 to 10 years were randomly selected in each school with goiter, salt iodine, urinary iodine and intelligence detected. Meanwhile, in the four sites, urinary iodine of pregnant women and nursing women was tested. The goiter was examined by B-ultrasonograghy, urinary iodine by Ce arsenic acid digestion, and salt iodine by direct drop methods. ResultsA total of 360 children aged 8 to 10 years were investigated surveillance sites. The total goiter rate was 5.28%. There was no significant difference in the total goiter rate among different counties (P > 0.05). The median of iodized salt was 26.65 mg/kg. The coverage rate of iodized salt, consumption rate of qualified iodized salt and intake rate of qualified iodized salt was 99.72%, 91.09% and 97.04%, respectively. The medians of urine iodine of children, pregnant and nursing women were 238.15 μg/L, 218.15 μg/L and 252.90 μg/L, respectively. The cases with urine iodine lower than 100 μg/L accounted for 11.94%, 32.93% and 13.75%, respectively. The cases with urine iodine above 300 μg/L accounted for 34.17%, 13.41% and 43.75%, respectively. The mean intelligence quotient of children was 112.57. ConclusionThe goiter rate of schoolchildren in Chongqing city is relatively high and the population's iodine nutrition level is stable. However, the shortage and overdose of iodine still exist in Chongqing city.
