Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of combined endoscopic embelization and variceal ligation (EVL) for management in cirrhotic patients with gastroesophageal variceal bleeding. Meth-otis One hundred and fifty-six cases of active gastric fundal variceal bleeding combined with esophageal var-ices of over degree Ⅱ, and with other causes leading to upper digestive tract bleeding excluded, were ran-domized into therapeutic group (n = 80) and control group (n = 76). For the therapeutic group, endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection for embelization of gastric fundal varices and EVL for esophageal varices were per-formed simultaneously. For the control group, EVL was performed 2 months after embolization. Results There was no complication in beth groups. The rate of hemostasis in therapy group was 96. 3% (77/80), and that in control group was 97. 4% (74/76, P >0.05). There was significant difference between two groups, regarding the rates of early re-bleeding [6. 4% (5/78) vs 21.3% (16/75), P < 0. 05] and re-bleeding at 6 months [13.0% (9/69) vs 25. 4% (17/67), P < 0. 05]. There was no significant difference between two groups, regarding the effective rate in disappearance of gastric fundus varices (61.6% vs 59. 1%), and in that of esophageal varices (74. 0% vs 67.9%). Conclusion Endescopic embelisation of gastric fundus vaxices, combined with EVL for esophageal varices, is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, and it can reduce the rate of re- bleeding.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of double-balloon enteroscopy in small bowel Crohn’s disease. Methods In sixty five patients with suspected small bowel Crohn's disease double-balloon enteroscopy were performed, and some of them received enteroscopy and enteroclysis, capsule endoscopy as well.Results The first enteroscopy was performed via mouth in 20 of 65 cases, and the lesions were detected in 11 cases (55%), 5 of 9 cases(55.6%) had lesions detected in enteroscopy via anus while nothing was found in mouth route. Among 45 cases examed by enteroscopy firstly via anus, 34 cases had lesions detected (75.6%), 8 of 11 cases(72.7%) had lesions found in following exam via mouth. Totally 58of 65 had lesions detected through enterosocpy examination, the overall diagnostic yield was 89.2%. Twenty four of 46 cases had positive findings with enteroclysis. The diagnosis of Crohn's disease was comfirmed in 14 of 22 patients(63.6%) underwent capsule endoscoy. The diagnosis was finally confirmed by enteroscopy only in 11 patients(78.6%).Conclusion The entire small intestine could be examined by enteroscopy with combination of mouth and anus route. Double-balloon enteroscopy was an ideal diagnostic modality for small bowel Crohn's diseases, which was also valuable in assessment on extent and severity of the disease. Small bowel enteroclysis was a useful screening alternative for selecting procedure route in DBE.

Objective To investigate the angiogenesis effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza in heterotopically grafted frozen-thawed mouse ovaries. Methods The ovaries thawed after cryopreservation were xenografted into the donated kidney capsules of 8- to 12-week adult male mice. The mice were divided into two groups, saline and Salvia miltiorrhiza groups, the mice either in the saline or in Salvia miltiorrhiza groups were administered I.p. Daily either saline(0.5ml) or Salvia miltiorrhiza(0.5g)respectively, from the day prior transplantation. The two groups were sacrificed 1 day,2 days and 7 days after transplantation respectively, the grafts from thawed,1 day,2 days,7 days were removed for follicle counting, immunohistochemical studying and detecting of the mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF). Results The number of follicles and survival rates in grafts after transplantation of Salvia miltiorrhiza group were more than that of saline group (P<0.05);the expression of VEGF increased after transplantation,peaked on day 7,there was no difference between the two groups (P>0.05);the apoptosis index of Salvia miltiorrhiza group was less than that of saline group (P<0.05), the mRNA expression of VEGF188 and VEGF164 of Salvia miltiorrhiza group was more than that of saline group on 48 hours after transplantation(P<0.05). Conclusion Salvia miltiorrhiza may provide benefits for folliculogensis and decreasing the apoptosis index of follicles. Nevertheless,a increase in the VEGF188 and VEGF164 isoform in the Salvia miltiorrhiza group may suggest the positive effect of exogenous Salvia miltiorrhiza therapy in the early stage of angiogenesis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expressions of midkine (MK) and Ki67 in gastric carcinoma (GC) and their relation with the clinicopathologic characteristics.
METHODSThe expressions of MK and Ki67 in 71 GC and 20 adjacent normal tissues were evaluated by immunohistochemistry.
RESULTSThe expressions of MK and Ki67 were significantly higher in GC than in adjacent normal tissues (76.1% vs 0, and 73.2% vs 5%, respectively, P<0.05). MK and Ki67 expressions were correlated with the infiltration depth, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05), and a significant correlation was found between MK and Ki67 expressions (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONGC tissues have high expressions of MK and Ki67, indicating that MK and Ki67 play important roles in promoting the tumorigenesis and progression of GC.
