Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and effects of thrombolytic and anti coagulation treatment in over 70 year old patients with pulmonary thromb embolism(PTE). Methods The clinical findings, diagnostic techniques, effects of thrombolytic therapy and anti coagulation in 58 over 70 year old patients with PTE were analyzed retrospectively. Results Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs (74 1%) was the most common thrombolism prone factors in our study. Limitation of movement and long term stay in bed due to a variety of causes were in the next place. The clinical findings were atypical, associated with a false diagnostic ratio of 46 5% in elderly patients with PTE. Undefined causal and different degree of dyspnea along with sudden and persistent hypoxemia were the main characteristics. Spiral CT and radioactive nuclear ventilation perfusion scan were important methods for diagnosis of PTE with positive finding of 95 7% and 62 5%, respectively. The effective and cure rate of thrombolytic therapy combined with anti coagulation, anti coagulation and anti platelet therapy was 91 3%, 75 8%, 0 and 47 8%, 17 2%, 0, respectively. Conclusions The most common risk factors of PTE in the elderly was DVT and the long term stay in bed or stay without active moving. The clinical symptoms were not only atypical but also variable. Thrombolytic with anti coagulation therapy is safe and effective, but anti platelet coagulation alone is not benefit.

Objective To evaluate the results of orthodontic micro- implant anchorage implantation by application of Spiral CT and three-dimensional reconstruction techniques,so as to explore its application value in assisting clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods 20 orthodontic patients were implanted with 48 micro-planting screws. SOMATOM Sensation40/64 helical CT scan was performed . The axial unenhanced helical CT data were given multi-planar reconstruction (MPR),maximum intensity projection (MIP),volume rendering (VR) and surface multidimensional reconstruction (CPR) by using the Siemens 3D post-processing software. The axial scanning images and reconstructed images were compared, observed and analyzed . Results The planting results of 37 micro screws were satisfactory without injuring the vital tissues surrounding the root. The planting results of 11 micro-screw were not ideal, and these micro-screws were observed or reimplanted and got success. Spiral CT axial scan showed better the tooth root interval and the relationship between tooth root and the planting screws. VR can directly showed the overall relationship between the planting screws and teeth , jaw contour appearance. The relationship between the screw and tooth was showed satisfactorily by MIP which could rotate freely and observe from different angles. MPR could clearly show the structural relationships between micro-root planting screws and tooth root and surrounding tissues from the cross section, and could make up for the shortcomings of axial limitations, and was easy to measure the distance and tilt angle of the long axis . Conclusion Spiral CT and three-dimensional reconstruction can accurately show the jaw micro planting screw shape,location and spatial relationships with adjacent teeth , the image is clear,intuitive and definite,and spiral CT and three-dimensional reconstruction has high application value in orthodontics micro-implant anchorage clinic as a powerful auxiliary examination means.

AIM:To investigate the effect of caveolin-1 and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 on 17?-estradiol (E2) induced inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS:The proliferation in cultured VSMCs was determined by using [3H]-thymidine incorporation. The expressions of caveolin-1,MKP-1 and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were measured by Western blotting. The expression of caveolin-1 mRNA was measured by RT-PCR. RESULTS:Exposed to fetal calf serum (FCS) for 24 h,the increase in proliferation of VSMCs was detected by [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Pretreatment with various concentrations of E2 for 24 h inhibited VSMC proliferation induced by FCS. The results of Western blotting and RT-PCR showed that pretreated with 17?-estradiol for 24 h reserved the decrease in caveolin-1 induced by FCS. Western blotting results further proved that the expression of MKP-1 was significantly increased and the expression of ERK1/2 phosphorylation was decreased after incubated with 17?-estradiol. CONCLUSION:17?-estradiol increases caveolin-1 and MKP-1 expressions,and decreases ERK1/2 phosphorylation,leading to the inhibition of VSMC proliferation.
