Objective To treat the sunken upper eyelids in the midd le and older patients with a modified procedure so as to improve esthetic appeara nce of the patients. Methods Autolipoparticles collected from patients' abdomen were injected into the sunken upper eyelids beneath the o rbital septum. 3ml of the lipoparticles were injected for each upper eyelid as u sual. The blepharoplasty was also performed for most of the patients with lower eyelids bag before or during the operation. Results The decrepit phenomena of eyes in all the patients were improved by the operations. Owing to the phenomena that the sunken upper eyelids were associated with the fa t bags of lower eyelid in most patients, it was inferable that the sunken upper eyelids were probably caused by the tissues ptosis in the orbit. Con clusions The sunken upper eyelids associated with fat bags of lower eyelids are the decrepit phenomena of eyes in middle age and old people. The sun ken upper eyelids can be corrected by the method of autolipoparticle injection. After the operation the appearance of patients' eyes is obviously improved. The method is easily performed and its curative effect is reliable.

Objective To evaluate the hemodynamics change of brain before and after vertebrobasilar angioplasty and stenting in the patients with intracal stenosis.Methods All the indexes were compared among thirty-eight patients with intracal arterial stenosis,including mean peak flow velocity,systolic peak flow velocity,and resistance index of hemodynamics ; Cerebral blood volume ( CBV),cerebral blood flow (CBF)and middle time to peak(MTT) before and after the operation.Results After vertebro-basilar angioplasty and stenting in the 38 patients,the Vs of PCA were significantly lower in the affected side [ (226 ±27)cm/s vs (135 ± 18)cm/s; t =21.74,P ＜0.01 ].Significant difference was found between pro-and post stenting of rMTT and rCBF in the blood territories of stenotic cerebrovascular ( t =3.987,P =0.001 )and( t =-2.027,P =0.029),There was no significant difference between pro-and post stenting of rCBV in the blood territories of stenotic cerebrovascular ( t =-0.901,P =0.329).Conclusions Transcranial Doppler and CT perfusion can be used to evaluate hemodynamic changes before and after pereutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting.

Objective To discuss the indications, methods and potential complications of endovascular stent placement for stenosis of internal carotid artery (ICA). Methods Symptomatic with ICA stenosis greater than 50%, and asymptomaticwere with ICA stenosis greater than 70% were selected. Self-expanding stent were used in extracranial ICA. Results 40 patients were inplaced 48 stents. All patients had no complications during and after operation. Each case was succssful at instant agiograph. Follow-up X-ray and sonography showed no distortion, movement of stents and restenosis. Conclusions Endovascular stent angioplasty was a safe, effective for stenosis of extracranial ICA. How to prevent complications occur including the embolic particles and restenosis must be studied deeply.

A 36-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of pruritic erythema and scaling on the trunk and extremities.Dermatological examination revealed ill-defined light pink macules with white lamellar scales on the chest,abdomen and buttocks.Histologically,there was a focal mononuclear cell infiltrate in the superficial dermis,with the epidermotropism of some cells and mild atypia of epidermotropic cells,as well as an interstitial mononuclear cell infiltrate and mild deposition of mucin between the collagen fibers in the middle dermis.CD3 and CD4 were expressed by scattered mononuclear cells infiltrating the upper and middle dermis.Based on these data,the patient was diagnosed with interstitial granuloma fungoides.

Objective To investigate the influence of different interventional treatment timing on the prognosis of patients with intracranial aneurysms. Methods One hundred and thirty-eight patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms were divided into group A (Ⅰ- Ⅲ grade) with 109 cases and group B ( Ⅳ- Ⅴ grade) with 29 cases according to Hunt-Hess grade when admitted. All patients received interventional treatment, the operation period was divided into early, middle and late stage according to the different time from disease time to operation, then compared the good rate, cerebral vasospasm and hydrocephalus incidence of patients underwent surgery at different period. Results The good rate at different period in group A were respectively 69.7% (23/33),58.8% (10/17) and 61.0% (36/59),which and the cerebral vasospasm and hydrocephalus incidence of patients underwent surgery at different period in group A had no significant difference(P > 0.05). The good rate of patients received surgical treatment at early stage in group B was 46.2%(6/13), which was significantly superior to late stage (0), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), while the cerebral vasospasm and hydrocephalus incidence of patients underwent surgery at different period in group B had no significant difference(P> 0.05). Conclusion The prognosis of patients with Hunt-Hess grade Ⅰ - Ⅲ grade undergoing interventional treatment at early, middle and late stage can be satisfactory, while grade Ⅳ - Ⅴ grade patients should receive interventional treatment at early stage.

Objective To assess the safety and efficiency of Angioseal device in patients undergoing percutaneous femoral artery puncture in brain angiograph or interventional therapy. Methods A prospective trial was carried out in 128 patients undergoing brain angiograph and interventional therapy,in which 93undergoing brain angiography and 35 interventionsl therapy. All patients were divided into pure compression group by manual compression (83 cases) and vascular blocking group by Angioseal device (45 cases)according to different hemostatic measures. Results In angiography, hemostasis time of vascular blocking group and pure compression group was (1.8 ±0.8) min and(20.2 ±9.4) min (P＜0.01 ),ambulation time was (3.8 ± 0.8) h and (19.4 ± 2.2) h (P ＜ 0.01). In interventional therapy,hemostasis time of vascular blocking group and pure compression group was (2.0 ± 1.1) min and (24.5 ± 10.3) min (P ＜ 0.01), ambulation time was (4.3 ± 1.5) h and (24.3 ± 3.2) h (P＜ 0.01). Pure compression group had higher complication rate (such as bleeding,hematoma,skin ulceration and blister) than vascular blocking group (P＜0.01).Conclusion Angioseal closure device is safe, efficient and easy to use.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of electroencephalogram (EEG) examination in the prognosis evaluation of patients with severe craniocerebral injury.MethodsFifty-seven patients with severe craniocerebral injury were selected as study subjects and their clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.All the patients got EEG examination,and the relationships between EEG grading and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score,the prognosis of outcome were analyzed.ResultsThe EEG of 57 patients within 24 h after hospitalization were all abnormal.There was significantly negative correlation between EEG grading and GCS score (r =-0.742,P ＜0.05).EEG grading was significantly positively correlated with the prognosis of outcome (r =0.730,P＜ 0.05).ConclusionsEEG examination and EEG grading can evaluate the prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury.It provides reference for clinical treatments.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the influences of conditioned medium from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) on cancer stem cell phenotype of human hepatoma cells. HUVEC and human hepatoma cells (MHCC97H) were cultured, respectively, and then the MHCC97H cells were co-cultured with conditioned medium from HUVEC (EC-CM) with Transwell system. Anti-cancer drug sensitivity, colony-formation, migration/invasion ability, expression of cancer stem cell marker and sphere formation were performed to determine the cancer stem cell phenotype in MHCC97H cells. We found that MHCC97H cells co-cultured with EC-CM exhibited significantly higher colony-formation ability and lower sensitivity of anti-cancer drugs 5-FU and Cis. Transwell assay showed that treatment with EC-CM obviously increased migration and invasion of MHCC97H cells. Moreover, increased sphere forming capability and expression of CD133 in MHCC97H cells were observed after co-cultured with EC-CM. These results suggested that EC-CM could promote cancer stem cell phenotype of hepatoma cells.
