Endovascular coil embolization has become an important way because of its advantages of less trauma and quick recovery.However,long-term follow-up studies have shown that the recurrence rate of aneurysm after coil embolization is much higher than that of the surgical clipping.It is mainly associteed with the factors such as incomplete packing coil compression and aneurysm regrowth.This article reviews the factors influencing intracranial aneurysm recurrence after endovascular coil embolization.

Objective To study the expression of LIVIN and PTEN in human gastric cancer and evaluate their clinical significance. Methods The expressions of LIVIN and PTEN were detected by immunohistochemical method in the tissues of 65 primary gastric cancer and 15 normal gastric mucosae. Results The positive expression rate of LIVIN in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues [73.85%(48165) vs 26.67%(4/15)], and the positive expression rate of PTEN was obviously lower than that in normal tissues [30.77%(20/65) vs 66.67%(10/15)](P < 0.05). The positive expressions of LIVIN and PTEN were closely correlated with tumor depth of gastric cancer, histological differentiation grade, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage. The expressions of LIVIN and PTEN had a significant positive correlation (r = -0.362,P =0.003). Conclusion LIVIN and PTEN may play important roles in carcinogenesis of gastric cancer, which may be considered as reliable markers in clinical diagnosis and the prognosis of gastric cancer.

Fall has seriously impaired the quality of life of old people. The main risk factors for fall in the old people are concerned with balance dysfunction which is caused by ageing. Taiji Quan exercise can promote the lower limb muscle strength, proprioception, neuro-muscular reaction, gait and cognition of the old people, that plays a role in fall prevention.

Objective To develop a set of portable equipment for telemedicine audio and video acquision-wireless portable helmet terminal.Methods The telemedicine images were acquired rapidly in high precision by using micro-camera with automatic focus.Voice analog signals input from microphone were performed A/D conversion by using UDA1344 to form serial digital audio stream.Compressed by helmet master operating system in uCos multitask real-time operating system,the acquired audio and video data were connected with local network by short-distance wireless transmission and then with Internet.Results Wireless portable helmet for telemedicine had such functions as images acquisition,audio transmission,automatic focus,video tape and both-way interphone.The wireless connection with telemedicine server could transmit audio and video in long distance.Conclusion Wireless portable helmet for telemedicine can be applied in remote emergency care,operation and transmission,which will greatly promote the application of tele-medicine.

OBJECTIVE:To establish RP-HPLC combined with solid phase extraction method to determine the plasma concentration of lansoprazole.METHODS:The sample was extracted by solid phase extraction in darkness.RP-HPLC was applied using Venusil XBP-C18(200 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column.The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water(32:68,pH value adjusted to 7.6 with 1% ammonia water) and flow rate was 1.0 mL?min-1.The detection wavelength was set at 284 nm and column temperature was set at room temperature.RESULTS:The linear range of lansoprazole was 10～2 500 ng?mL-1(r=0.999 9) with mean recovery of 100.93%.The RSD of intra-day and inter-day were both less than 10%.CONCLUSION:The method is sensitive,convenient and rapid for the determination of lansoprazole concentration in plasma.

Stricture and insufficiency of eustachian tube in 43 cases were treated by floating duct for dilation of eustachian tube under fiber endoscopy. Clinical observation lasbed 2-10 months. 23 cases were significantly effective, 13 cases effective. No intraoperative complications.

Objective To establish a cisplatin (DDP)-resistant HepG-2 cell line,and to explore the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway on multidrug resistance in human hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The HepG-2 cells were exposed in a gradually increasing dose of DDP to establish a cisplatin ( DDP)-resistant HepG-2 cell line.MTT assay was used to detect the cytotoxic activity of DDP against HepG-2 and HepG-2/DDP cells.The mRNA expression of β-catenin was determined by Real-time PCR assay.The small interfering RNA was used to specifically knockdown β-catenin expression in HepG-2/DDP cells.The protein expression was detected by western blot analysis.Results The DDP-resistant cell line HepG-2/DDP was established by gradient DDP induction successfully.The IC50 values of DDP against HepG-2 and HepG-2/DDP cells were (2.29 ± 0.14) μmol/L and ( 20.51 ± 0.84 ) μmol/L,respectively ( t=95.68,P＜0.01 ),HepG-2/DDP cells was 8.96 times than HepG-2 cells on the resistance of cisplatin.The result of real time PCR showed that 2-△Ct value of β-catenin in HepG-2 cells and HepG-2/DDP cells were (0.323±0.065) and (0.674 ±0.097) (P＜0.01 ).And the protein expression of cisplatin in HepG-2/DDP cells was also significantly higher than that in the HepG-2 cells.The expresssion of β-catenin was significantly and specifically depleted by siRNA duplexes(P＜0.01 ).The IC50 values of cisplatin against HepG-2/DDP cells were (21.02 ± 1.64) μmol/L in cisplatin control group,(6.23 ± 0.68 ) μmol/L in SiRNA targeting interference group and ( 20.44 ± 1.26 ) μmol/L in SiRNA negative interference group,and there was significant difference between control group and SiRNA targeting interference group ( P＜0.01 ).Conclusion The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was activated on the cisplatin(DDP)-resistant HepG-2 cell line and down regulation of β-catenin increased the chemosensitivity of HepG-2/DDP cells against cisplatin.It provided a theoretical basis for finding the new targets of multidrug resistance in liver cancer.
