Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the stent-assisted coil embolization for the treatment of wide-necked anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms. Methods From November 2011 to November 2014, the clinical data of the patients with wide-necked ACoA aneurysms treated by using the stent-assisted coil embolization were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical and radiographic effects were summarized. The perioperative complications were focused on. Results The ACoA wide-neck aneurysms of 29 patients were treated with stent-assisted coil embolization. Two of them abandoned the interventional treatment because of stents could not be in place and release. The immediate results of interventional treatment showed that 21 were embolized completely (78% ), 5 were near totaly embolized (19% ), and 1 was partialy embolized (3% ). Three patients had intraoperative thrombosis (recanalization achieved after thrombosis, one of them died of cerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis). One patient suffered cerebral angiospasm, one had aneurysm rupture, and one had distal rupture of the anterior cerebral artery. Twenty-seven patients received clinical folow-up, and the folow-up time ranged from 2 to 36 months (mean 17 months). None of the patients had hemorrhagic or ischemic complications. Sixteen patients received imaging folow-up, and the folow-up ranged from 6 to 12 months (mean 7 months). None of the aneurysms had recurrence. Conclusions Stent-assisted coil embolization of wide-necked ACoA aneurysm is overal feasible, safe, and effective although there are certain risks.

This study was aimed to analyze the current prescription combination rules on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in gastric cancer treatment, in order to explore reasonable application of data mining technology in the study of prescription combination rules. Modern literatures were searched in CNKI and WanFang database. Frequency analysis, association analysis and composition network were used comprehensively. Rules such as herb application frequency and combination rules of the target prescription set were analyzed. The results showed that after screening and standardization, 116 prescriptions were included in the set which including 1 269 herbs and involving 17 types of 212 herbs. It was concluded that TCM paid attention to strengthen body resistance in gastric cancer treatment. It can also be combined with drugs for invigorating blood circulation and stasis, heat-clearing and detoxification, dispersing phlegm and stasis, as well as regulatingqi stagnation depending on the syndrome.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are large super-gene family.It is traditionally thought to be a kind of electrophilic detoxification substance.However,recent research showed that it has a powerful antioxidant role,but its gene polymorphism is also a risk factor of variety diseases.Researches verified that GSTs are widely found in the epithelial tissue in human and eye tissues,such as iris,ciliary,trabecular meshwork,lens,macula and retina.GSTs play strong preventive and treating roles for many oxidative-induced eye diseases,including primary open-angle glaucoma ( POAG),age-related cataract and age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ).The antioxidative mechanism of GSTs to eye diseases is in study.The current researches about the element concept,distributions in eye tissues,gene polymorphism of GSTs and its relationship with eye oxidative damage were reviewed.
