Objective To investigate a safe, effective and mini-invasive method in the treatment of recurrent cavernous hemangiomas. Methods Under local or ketamine anesthesia, ethanol was injected into hemangioma to embolize the draining vessels, and 8～16 mg pinyangmycin was then injected into the lesion slowly. After 7～10 days, second injection of pinyangmycin and total 3～5 times were needed as a course of treatment. Results In the 6 cases reported, shrinkage and degradation were observed and finally tumor was disappeared. There was no skin necrosis, no recurrence and other complications in the 1～5 years follow-up period. Conclusion Ethanol embolization and pinyangmycin injection is a safe, simple, mini-invasive, and effective method in treating the recurrent cavernous hemangiomas.

Objective [WT5”BZ]To evaluate the interventional therapy for Budd Chiari syndrome in which inferior vena cava was segmentally stenotic or occlusive combined with obstruction of hepatic vein and thrombosis.[WT5”HZ] Methods [WT5”BZ] 13 cases with regional stricture or occlusion in inferior vena cava (8 cases with hepatic vein occlusion and 5 cases with thrombosis of inferior vena cava) were reviewed and the length of lesions ranged from 2?cm to 5?cm. For patients with IVC occlusion, atrial septum puncture was used, followed by 1 0～2 0?cm balloon dilation and implantation of metal stent. For patients with hepatic vein occlusion, RUPS 100 liver puncture apparatus was applied and followed by 0 5～1 0?cm balloon dilation. Postoperative anticoagulant therapy was used for 3 months.[WT5”HZ] Results [WT5”BZ]Procedures were successful in all cases. Shrinkage of the spleen and absorption of ascites were observed after operation. There were no relapse of symptoms, nor digestive tract bleeding during 3～26 months of follow up. [WT5”HZ]Conclusions [WT5”BZ] Thrombolytic therapy was very important before the repatency of the IVC for patients with thrombosis formation. The embedded in stent must be away from the orifice of accessory liver vein. Angioplasty of hepatic vein is essential for the interventional treatment of Budd Chiari syndrome. [WT5”HZ]

AIM:To explore the recombined human proinsulin gene containing glucose reaction element(GLRE) expression in transfected CBRH7919 cells.METHODS: The packaged retrovirus encoding genetically modified human proinsulin PLXSN-(GLRE)3-BP-1MpINS3 and PLXSN-(GLRE)3-BP-1MpINS2 were transfected into CBRH7919 cells.Insulin values in cells after transient and steady expression screened by G418 at different glucose levels were detected.Chromosome DNA was isolated from transfected and untransfected cells and polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was performed.PCR products were analyzed by electrophoresis.RESULTS: 38 h after transfection,at the glucose levels of 0-25 mmol/L,the levels of insulin produced by cells including PLXSN-(GLRE)3-BP-1MpINS3 were(3.57?0.21)U/L,(5.30?0.20)U/L,(16.27?0.87)U/L,(23.23?1.12)U/L,respectively(P

Objective:To explore the ability of training on a three-dimensional motion platform to improve the walking ability and skill in the activities of daily living of hemiplegic stroke survivors.Methods:A total of 70 stroke survivors with hemiplegia were randomly divided into a control group ( n=35) and an intervention group ( n=35). In addition to routine rehabilitation, the control group received 40 minutes of ground balance training, while the intervention group received 40 minutes of training on a three-dimensional motion platform 6 times a week for 4 weeks. Before and after the intervention, step length, speed and frequency were evaluated in both groups using the Gait Watch 3D gait analysis system. Walking ability and ability in the activities of daily living were assessed using the de Morton mobility index (DEMMI) and the modified Barthel index (MBI). Results:Before the treatment, there was no significant difference in average step length, speed or frequency between the two groups. The average standing phase percentage on the affected side, percentage of double support period, DEMMI score, and MBI score also were not significantly different. After the treatment those indicators had improved significantly in both groups. The intervention group′s averages were then all significantly better than those of the control group.Conclusions:Three-dimensional motion platform training can improve the walking ability and skill in the activities of daily living of hemiplegic stroke survivors.

Objective:To analyze the association between visceral fat area (VFA) and fatty liver based on quantitative CT (QCT) in people receiving health examination with normal body mass index (BMI).Methods:A cross-sectional study. A total of 1 305 physical examiners who underwent chest CT and QCT examination in the Department of Health Management of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January to December 2021 were retrospectively selected as subjects. The physical components at the central level of the lumbar two cone were measured with QCT, including subcutaneous fat area (SFA), VFA and liver fat content (LFC). And the metabolic indexes, such as blood lipids and blood glucose, were collected. The t-test and χ2 test were used to analyze the correlation between the detection rate of fatty live and LFCr and age and gender. According to level of VFA (<100 cm 2, 100-150 cm 2 and≥150 cm 2), the subjects were divided into three groups, and one-way ANOVA and χ2 test were used in comparison between groups. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between VFA and metabolic indexes and LFC. Results:Of the 1 305 subjects, there were 634 males and 671 females. The detection rate of fatty liver in normal BMI population was 65.67%, and it was 72.71% and 59.02% respectively in men and women ( χ2=27.12, P<0.001), and the detection rate of fatty liver and LFC increased with age (both P<0.05). With the increase of VFA, the age, BMI, SFA, LFC, total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood uric acid and prevalence of fatty liver increased (all P<0.05), and the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) decreased ( P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age factors, regardless of male or female, LFC was independently positively related with VFA, BMI, and ALT (male β=0.206, 0.145, 0.174, female β=0.194, 0.150, 0.184; all P<0.05). FBG was positively correlated with male independently ( β=0.134; P<0.001). The indicators related to female independently were TC, TG, and blood uric acid ( β=-0.121, 0.145, 0.141, all P<0.05) Conclusion:In the population receiving health examination with normal BMI, the VFA measured by QCT technique is closely related to fatty liver.
