Objective: To study the curative effect of wilsoniiinjecta on severe head injury (SHI).Methods: A total of 120 patients with SHI weredivided randomly into 2 groups, the patients treated withconventional methods as Group A (n = 60) and the patientstreated with wilsonii injecta as Group B (n = 60). Thechanges of neural function indexes were evaluated withGlasgow Coma Scale (GCS) before treatment and withGlasgow Outcome Scale ( GOS ) after treatment,simultaneously, the paramneters of hemorrheological indexes(HI), brain electrical activity map ( BEAM ) andtranscranial Doppler sonography (TCD) were observedbefore and after treatment.Results: In Group B, the clinical GCS, the HI, theBEAM and the prognosis GOS were improved much morethan those in Group A. And the TCD parameters in GroupB decreased, which had significant difference comparedwith that in Group A (P ＜0.01).Conclusions: Wilsonii injecta can rapidly improve theinjured persons' conscious states, the abnormal BEAM and the surviving quality. It suggests that the improvement of the HI is related to the relief of the vasospasm of thearterial blood vessels in the brain, which may be one of theimportant mechanisms of wilsonii injecta in improving theprognosis.

Objective: To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment of severe brain injury.Methods: Fifty-five patients were divided into a treatment group (n = 35 receiving HBO therapy ) and a control group (n = 20 receiving dehydrating, cortical steroid and antibiotic therapy) to observe the alteration of clinic GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale), brain electric activity mapping (BEAM), prognosis and GOS (Glasgow Outcome Scale) before and after hyperbaric oxygen treatment.Results: In the treatment group GCS, BEAM and GOS were improved obviously after 3 courses of treatment,GCS increased from 5.1 to 14.6 ( P ＜ 0.01-0.001 ), the BEAM abnormal rate reduced from 94.3％ to 38％ (P ＜0.01-0.001 ), the GOS good-mild disability rate was 83.7％, and the middle-severe disability rate was 26.3％compared with the control group. There was a statistic significant difference between the two groups (P ＜ 0.01-0.001).Conclusions: 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.
