Objective To investigate the stimulating effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on angiogenesis in glioblastoma (GBM). Methods Twenty adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups, glioma group (C6 glioma cell intracerebral implantation, n=10) and glioma-H2S group (C6 glioma cell intracerebral implantation and sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) intraperitoneal injection, n=10). The tumor-bearing rat model was established by intracerebral injection of rat C6 glioma cells. After one week, normal saline was injected in glioma group and NaHS was injected in glio-ma-H2S group. Food and water were freely available during all phases of the experiment. After three weeks, rats were decapi-tated and brains were removed. HE staining was performed to show tumor structure and intratumoral angiogenesis. The immu-nohistochemical analysis was used to detect the expressions of CD34 and MMP-2, respectively. The microvessel density (MVD) in GBM was also measured. Results HE staining showed that the implanted tumors were predominantly spheroid with clear border and no capsule could be detected. The neovascular proliferations were observed in tumors. There were high-er expressions of CD34 and MMP-2 in glioma-H2S group. The value of MVD was significantly higher in glioma-H2S group than that of glioma group (P＜0.01). Conclusion Exogenous H2S serves as a stimulator of angiogenesis in the development of rat GBM, which may be related with the increased MMP-2 expression promoted by H2S.

Objective To study the imaging features and adequate interventional therapy of the diffuse type hepatic cellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Fourteen patients with the diffuse type HCC underwent hepatic angiography and the adequate interventional therapy by TAI or TAE according to imaging appearances,blood supply and function of liver.Results ①Imaging appearances:the most common appearances of fourteen patients with the diffuse type HCC on DSA and CT included:tumor blood vessel was extensive and increased,tumor stain was extensive in left and right liver leaf(such as grain,small spot ,nodule shadows or low density area),liver enlarged obviously with liver cirrhosis,portal vein tumor thrombus,arteriopotal shunt and widespreadly scattered iodized oil,et al.②Therapeutic effect:the mean survival time of fourteen patients was 3 months,the longest survival period was 10 months and the shortest one was olny 15 days.Conclusion ①The specific appearances of the diffuse type HCC are diffuse small spot-like,frosted glass-like,double orbit-like and big liver-like.②The interventional therapeutic effect and prognosis of the diffuse type HCC are the worst than that of other type primary hepatic carcinoma.Selecting adequate interventional therapeutical plan can obviously prolong survival time of the patient.
