Objective To summarize surgical strategies and skills against aneurysms of posterior circulation .Methods Twenty-one cases of posterior circulation aneurysms who had undergone microsurgery between March 2008 and March 2013 were analyzed retrospectively .Two of these cases had their basilar artery aneurysms clipped via the pterion approach and five through the subtemporal approach .Five posterior cerebral artery aneurysms were clipped via the subtemporal approach , two anterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysms were clipped via the retrosigmoid approach , three posterior inferior cerebel-lar artery aneurysms were clipped through the far lateral approach , and two vertebral artery aneurysms were clipped similar-ly approach.Results All the aneurysms were clipped successfully .According to Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), the cura-tive effect was poor in 3 cases(GOS 2-3 points), good in 16 cases(GOS 4-5 points) and 2 patients died(GOS 1 point). Conclusion Aneurysms of posterior circulation can be treated through microsurgery .Proper surgical strategies , operative ap-proach and delicate surgical skills are critical to the success of surgeries and curative effects .

Objective To investigate the craniofacial morphologies of Sagliker syndrome.Methods Sixteen patients were selected in this study that was diagnosed by the Department of Nephrology and the Center of Dentistry of China-Japan Friendship Hospital.They were divided into 2 groups:Sagliker syndrome group(SS) including 8 patients,and secondary hyperparathyroidism group (SHPT) including 8 patients.Cephalometric radiographs were taken from all the 16 patients.Results The hard issue measurement results had shown that in ∠SNA,∠ANB,∠NA/PA,∠MP/SN,∠MP/ FH,∠SArGo,and ∠ArGoGn,there were significantly statistical differences between the two groups.The measurements of SS were greater than that of SHPT.The soft issue measurement results had shown that in ∠LL-Bs-Pos,∠AsUL-FH,UL-EP,and ∠AsUL-BsUL,there were also significant differences between the two groups.The measurements of SS were greater than that of SHPT.In ∠BsLL-FH,there were evidently statistical differences between the two groups:the measurements of SS were greater than that of SHPT.Conclusions The facial hard and soft tissue of the patients with Sagliker syndrome have the special changes in morphologies.

Objective To investigate the correlation between leukoencephalopathy and atherosclerosis. Methods 238 patients were enrolled. All the patients were underwent brain MRI and carotid and femoral artery duplex ultrasonography after hospitalized. The atherosclerotic plaque, intima-media thickness (IMT), peak systolic velocity (Vp) were measured with ultrasonography. The data was analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software. Results The leukoencephalopathy of the patients positively correlated with age, hypertension, serious of atherosclerosis and carotid IMT, negatively correlated with carotid Vp, but did not correlated with vertebrarterial Vp. Conclusion The leukoencephalopathy positively correlate with some atherosclerotic risk factors, the serious of atherosclerosis, and anterior circulation disorder, but do not correlate with posterior circulation.

In order to obtain an attenuated vaccine candidate for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) O45, a ler deletion mutant of pig enteropathogenic E. coli (PEPEC) O45 was constructed by using the suicide vector pCVD442, termed as PEPEC O45(deltaler). The culture supernatant of PEPEC O45(deltaler) deletion mutant was inoculated in vero cell culture. PEPEC O45(deltaler) deletion mutant lost the toxigenicity to vero cell. Test group and control group of mice were orogstrically inoculated with the PEPEC O45(deltaler) deletion mutant and the virulent strain O45 respectively. Mice were observed daily for clinical signs and weight changes. Test group of mice inoculated with PEPEC O45(deltaler) gained weight normally and experienced no clinical signs. In contrast, control group of mice inoculated with virulent strain O45 exhibited weight loss and all died in four days. In another experiment, pregnant mice and pig were orally vaccinated by PEPEC O45(deltaler) twice at interval of 14 days respectively. Subsequently, the suckling mice and pig were orally challenged with O45 at 7 days of age respectively. The results showed that 80% of the sucking mice born by vaccinated mice and 75% of the sucking pig born by vaccinated pig were survival; 15% of the sucking mice born by non-vaccinated mice and 10% of the sucking pig born by non-vaccinated pig were survival. This study demonstrated that PEPEC O45(deltaler) deletion mutant lost the toxigenicity to vero cell and to be safety to mice and pig. Oral immunization can induce specific immune responses in mice and pig, and this mutant strain could be used as an attenuated vaccine candidate against PEPEC O45.

The introduction of stapling instruments and improved understanding of pathology has resulted in a greater proportion of low rectal cancer patients undergoing sphincter-preserving resection.A variety of alternative techniques have been proposed to avoid a permanent stoma,including abdominal pull through,abdominal trans-sphincteric resection and intersphincteric resection.However,these damages always inflicted on the anal sphincters with poor functional results.More recently,the anterior perineal plane for ultra-low anterior resection of the rectum (APPEAR) technique was developed which approaches the anurectum via an anterior transperineal approach and exploits an anatomic space within the pelvic floor musculature termed “rectal no-man's laud”.The ability to access this segment of distal rectum by the perineal approach may determine whether a sphincter-saving resection can be performed for a proportion of patients who would otherwise require a permanent stoma.We performed laparoscopic APPEAR for a 46-year old woman with low rectal cancer with satisfactory results.
