Chinese Journal of Interventional Imaging and Therapy 2020;17(9):533-537
Objective: To observe the effect of double LVIS stent intussusception assisted coils embolization in treatment of intracranial blood blister-like aneurysm (BBA). Methods: Data of 45 patients with BBA and treated by stent-assisted coils embolization were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into double LVIS stent group (DLS group, 18 cases) and non-double LVIS stent group (NDLS group, 27 cases) according to the disparate therapy method. The operation outcomes, perioperative complications and follow-up results were compared between groups. Results: The immediately completely embolization rate in DLS group was 72.22% (13/18), in NDLS group was 55.56% (15/27), and the perioperative complications rate in DLS group was 16.67%(3/18), in NDLS group was 25.93%(7/27) (both P>0.05). No significant difference of the immediately completely embolization rate nor of perioperative complications rate was found between 2 groups (both P>0.05). At the 3- and 6-month follow-up, no significant difference of neurological recovery outcomes post operation was found between 2 groups (both P>0.05). The aneurysm recurrence rate in DLS group was 15.38% (2/13), lower than that in NDLS group (57.89%, 11/19) at 3-month follow-up (P=0.03). No significant difference of aneurysm recurrence rate at 6-month follow-up was found between groups (0 vs 13.33%, P>0.05). Conclusion: Double LVIS stent intussusception assisted coils embolization is safe and effective for treatment of BBA, which can significantly reduce 3-month aneurysm recurrence rate.

Objective To investigate the effect of total glucosides of paeong (TGP) on the liver lipid infiltration and fibrosis in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by fructose and high-fat diet. Methods Fructose-high-fatty induced NAFLD rat model was established. Metformin ( MET,200 mg · kg-1 ) and TGP (200,100 mg · kg-1 ) was intragastrically given to the rats in the treatment group,TGP high dose and low dose group,respectively. Normal control group and model control group was intragastrically treated with equivalent distilled water (10 mL·kg-1 ). At the fourth week after the treatment,all the rats were sacrificed and the indices such as serum fasting blood glucose(FBG),INS,insulin sensitivity index (ISI),triglycerides(TG),apelin-36,visfatin,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),free fatty acid (FFA),collagen Ⅲ(COLⅢ),collagen Ⅳ(COLⅣ) were determined. Hepatic content of TG was determined and the pathological changes in the liver tissues were observed under the microscope. Results As compared with the model control group,TGP effectively decreased FBG,INS,TG in serum and liver tissues,activity of ALT and AST in serum and content of FAA,Apelin, Visfatin,COLⅢ and COLⅣ,with significant differences (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). TGP alleviated lipid infiltration and fibrosis in rat liver tissues. Conclusion TGP can inhibit effectively lipid infiltration and fibrosis of NAFLD rats,probably through improving glucolipid metabolism and antogonizing insulin resistance.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of facial artery perforator flap for the soft tissue defects at nose, lip and cheek.
METHODSThe facial artery perforator adjacent to the defect was identified by Doppler ultrasonography. The perforator flap was designed according to the defect location, size and shape. The subcutaneous tissue around the perforator was kept as much as possible to protect the venous drainage.
RESULTSFrom Oct. 2012 to Oct.2013, 26 cases were treated with facial artery perforator flaps, with 9 cases of nasal defects, 10 cases of lip defects and 7 cases of buccal defects. The defects size ranged from 1.5 cm x 2.0 cm to 3.0 cm x 3.0 cm and the flaps size ranged from 2.0 cm x 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm x 3. 5 cm. Superficial necrosis(3mm in width) happened at the end of one flap. All the other 25 flaps survived completely. 16 cases were followed up for 3 months to 2 years with no relapse and satisfactory cosmetic and functional results were achieved.
CONCLUSIONSBoth cosmetic and functional effect can be achieved with facial artery perforator flap for defects at nose, lip and cheek.
