濮城西区沙二上2＋3油藏深部调剖试验

根据濮城西区沙二上２＋３油藏层内矛盾突出的地质特点，提出并实施了远井调剖－近井封口的区块深部调剖试验，并将ＰＩ决策技术作为深部调剖选井、选剂、定量以及效果评价的理论基础，现场试验结果表明油藏的均质性明显增强，为厚层非均质油藏进入高含水开发提供了有益的借鉴。     

Spinal injuries in New Zealand rugby and rugby league--a twenty year survey

AIMS: To establish trends in frequency of serious spinal cord injuries in rugby and rugby league over a 20 year period and to elucidate patterns of injury from retrospective analysis of cases admitted to New Zealand's two spinal injuries units. METHODS: A detailed survey of unit records with follow-up of selected patients; statistical analysis of data. RESULTS: During the 20 years 1976 to 1995, 119 rugby and 22 rugby league players (total 141) were admitted to New Zealand's two spinal injuries units suffering serious spinal injuries and 47 of these became permanently confined to wheelchairs. There was a steady increase in frequency throughout the period studied. Of the injuries 83% occurred in forwards and 17% in backs. In rugby it was the scrum which produced most injuries, and in rugby league it was the tackle. The early season month of April produced most spinal injuries. In the eighteen months since intense compulsory educational programmes on safety were introduced by the New Zealand Rugby Union there have been no serious spinal cord injuries from rugby scrums. CONCLUSION: Contrary to widespread belief, there has not been a decrease in spinal cord injuries in rugby following rule changes in the mid 1980s. The information produced by this retrospective study has been an effective educational platform to make rugby and rugby league safer.     

The impact of diaphragm management on prolonged ventilator support after thoracoabdominal aortic repair

PURPOSE: The relationship of the division of the diaphragm during thoracoabdominal aortic repair to prolonged ventilator support has not been studied. The purpose of this study was (1) to determine whether preservation of diaphragm integrity has a significant effect on postoperative ventilator duration and (2) to elucidate other pulmonary risk factors related to thoracoabdominal aortic surgery and to study the relationship of these factors to the intact diaphragm technique. METHODS:Between February 1991 and January 1997, we repaired 397 descending and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Descending thoracic aneurysms were not included in the study because their repair does not include the diaphragm. A total of 256 patients participated in this study. The diaphragm was divided in 150 patients and left intact in 106 patients. Examined as potential risk factors were patient demographics, history and physical findings, aneurysm extent, urgency of the procedure, acute dissection, cross-clamp time, homologous and autologous blood product consumption, and adjunctive operative techniques. FEV1 also was considered in the 197 patients for whom preoperative spirometry was available. Prolonged mechanical ventilation was defined as ventilator support for >72 hours. Data were analyzed by univariate contingency table and multiple logistic regression methods. RESULTS: Increasing age (odds ratio [OR], 1.02/y; P <.02), current smoking (OR, 2.6; P <.0008), total cross-clamp time (OR, 1.0/min; P <.008), units packed red blood cells transfused (OR, 1.06/unit; P <.008), and division of the diaphragm (OR, 2.03; P <.02) were significant, independent predictors of prolonged ventilation. Sixty-seven percent of patients (71 of 106) whose diaphragms were preserved were extubated in <72 hours compared with 52% of patients (78 of 150) who underwent diaphragm division (OR, 0.53; P <.02). CONCLUSION: Independently of well known pulmonary risk factors, an intact diaphragm during thoracoabdominal aortic repair results in a higher probability of early ventilator weaning.
