Objective: To investigate the morphological changes of cerebral blood vessels by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in patients with central vertigo, so as to provide references for diagnosis and treatment of patients with central vertigo. Methods: Ninety-two patients suffering from central vertigo were subjected to cerebral angiography through femoral artery. The types, proportion, and distribution (site predilection and number of involved vessels) of the cerebrovascular abnormalities were observed and analyzed. Results: Of the 92 patients with central vertigo, cerebrovascular lesions were found in 137 sides, including 15 (10. 95%) anterior circulation lesions and 122 (89.05%) posterior circulation lesions. Thirty-one (33.7%) patients had 2 or more lesions. The most common lesion was vertibroarterial lesion accompanied with other cerebrovascular stenosis. The lesions included 39 (28.47%) sides with vertibro-basilar stenosis or occlusion, 13 (9.49%) sides with posterior cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion, and 59 (43.06%) sides with posterior circulation abnormalities. Conclusion: The posterior circulation stenoses or abnormalities might be the major reasons for central vertigo in middle- and old-age patients.

OBJECTIVETo observe thee efficacy of different ways of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for treating elderly coronary heart disease (CHD) patients.

METHODSTotally 470 elderly CHD patients were classified to three age brackets (equal to or more than 85 years old, 60 to 74 years old, 75 to 84 years old). They were assigned to the transradial intervention (TRI) group (236 cases) and the transfemoral intervention (TFI) group (234 cases) according to different intervention pathways. Correlated indices and postoperative clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSA higher successful rate of surgery was obviously got in patients 85 years old or older than 85 than in those 60 to 74 years old and 75 to 84 years old (P <0. 05). The incidence of major cardiovascular events (MACE) was reduced at post-operative 12 and 24 months in patients 85 years old or older than 85 (P <0. 05). The case number for changing intervention pathway were increased in the TRI group with statistical difference (P <0. 05). Compared with the TFI group, the case number for changing intervention pathway was increased; the time for arteriopuncture, the time for catheterization, and the time for X-ray exposure were prolonged; the time for postoperative bedding were obviously shortened; the incidence of vascular complications at the puncture site were lowered. The incidence of postoperative 12-month MACE was lowered, all with statistical difference (all P <0. 05). The incidence of MACE within postoperative 24-month MACE decreased in patients 60 to 74 years old and 75 to 84 years old (P <0. 05). The incidence of MACE within postoperative 24 months increased in patients 85 years old or older than 85 of the TRI group with statistical difference (P <0. 05).

CONCLUSIONTRI can be preferably chosen for PC in treating elderly CHD patients.

Objective To find out nutrient support drug utilization in cancer patients in our hospital. Methods An analysis was made by means of drug utilization research into the structure and rationality of nutrient support drug utilization in our hospital through an investigation into the detailed records of the dispensary from 1999 to 2002 and into 1 014 medical records from 2002. Results The variety, quantity, and cost of nutrient support drug utilization in the four years rose respectively by 58.82%, 71.66% and 28.16%. 49.30% of the cancer patients whose medical records were surveyed used such drugs. The quantity and person time ratio of PN and EN drug utilization was respectively 14∶1 and 13∶1, with malnourished patients accounting for 19.80%. Of the PN drugs whose DDD value could be determined, most had a DUI value that was greater than 1 whereas most of the EN drugs had a DUI value which was smaller than 1. Conclusion The variety, quantity, and cost of nutrient support drug utilization in the four years rose rapidly. The quantity and person time of PN drug utilization were much higher than those of EN drug utilization. Doubts could be cast in the handling of indications for nutrient support drug utilization in some patients and the doses of some nutrient support drugs prescribed were not so rational. Further explorations need to be made into the rational application of nutrient support treatment.

In recent years,more and more researchers have realized the possibility that algicidal bacteria could be a useful tool in reducing the impact of harmful algae blooms. In this review, the ecological roles of algicidal substances was briefly discussed, then special emphasis placed on the categories and extract methods of algicidal substances which have been reported. Some ideas for the further studies on algicidal substances were also proposed.

Objective　To investigate the operation treatment of gallbladder carcinoma(GBC). Methods The clinical data of 132 patients with GBC from 1980 to 1999 were analysed. Results　The mean age was 55 years and the occurrence sex ratio in female/male was 1.5∶1. Gallstone was found in 80% of the patients, and 87.1% of the GBC were adenocarcinoma. Before December 1990(forward group), simple cholecystectomy were performed on 11 cases, radical cholecystectomy on 9 cases, extended radical cholecystectomy on 5 cases, palliative extra- or intra- drainge on 15 cases, surgical biopsy on 30% cases. Hospital death occurred in 4 cases, the postoperative complications occurred in 20 cases including biliary fistula in 4 cases, pancreatic fistula in 2 cases. Since January 1991(latter group), radical simple cholecystectomy were performed on 2 cases, radical cholecystectomy on 16 cases, extended radical cholecystectomy on 24 cases; palliative extra- or intra- drainge in 9 cases, surgical biopsy on 8 cases. Hospital death occurred in 1 cases; postoperative complications in 12 cases, including biliary fistula in 1 cases, pancreatic fistula in 1 cases. Radical resection rate was 35.7% in forword group, 72.6% in latter group. Conclusions　Surgical tech-nique progress and application with Peng's Multifunctional Operative Dissector can improve the resection rate of GBC. Extended redical resection is an effective and active method to treat middle or late stage GBC.

Objective To analyse the clinicopathological characteristics of synovial sarcoma (SS) from histomorphology,immunohistochemical (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH),and to investigate the related factors influencing the prognosis of SS patients.Methods 94 cases were collected,including 60 SS cases and 34 in dined to SS cases.The expressions of common antibodies related to the diagnosis of SS Vimentin,CD99,AE1/AE3,EMA,CD34,Calponin,Ki-67 were detected by IHC,and the SYT-SSX fusion gene was detected by FISH.The clinical pathologic factors that affecting the prognosis of patients were analyzed through the statistical method.Results The positive rates of Vimentin,CD99,AE1/AE3,EMA,CD34,Calponin,Ki-67 were 100.00 ％,74.47 ％,36.17 ％,28.72 ％,17.02 ％,90.43 ％ and 60.64 ％ respectively.FISH results showed that 81 patients were tested with SYT gene translocation,including 54 cases who were considered as SS,and 27 cases who were suspected/inclined to SS,and the number of positive cells surpassed 80 ％.The gene translocation was not related with the patient' s age,sex,tumor position,histological type,differentiation of the cancer (all P ＞ 0.05).Single factor survival analysis showed that the degree of differentiation,tumor diameter,the recurrence and metastasis had certain influences on patients' survival time (all P ＜ 0.05).Multiple factors regression analysis showed that the degree of differentiation and tumor diameter were the risk factors influencing the prognosis of SS (risk coefficients ＞ 1,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions IHC combined with FISH SYT-SSX fusion gene detection have the vital significance in the diagnosis of SS.The degree of differentiation and tumor size are the risk factors influencing the prognosis of SS.
