Objective To investigate the clinical significance of circumferential aneurysmal wall enhancement (CAWE)in high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging. Methods The imaging and clinical data of 41 patients with intracranial aneurysm underwent gadolinium-enhanced 3. 0 T HR-MRI from October 2014 to July 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Two experienced neurovascular radiologists read the vascular neuroimagings independently and determined whether the intracranial aneurysm walls of the patents had CAWE. Twenty-five patients had unstable intracranial aneurysms and 16 had stable intracranial aneurysms. The consistency of the diagnostic results of the 2 radiologists was evaluated by the Kappa test. The CAWE,number,location,size and the imaging features of intracranial aneurysms,as well as gender,age, smoking history,drinking history,hypertension and diabetes of clinical risk factors of the patients in both groups were compared. The comparison between groups was conducted by using the chi-square test. Results A total of 47 intracranial aneurysms were detected in 41 patients,including 29 unstable intracranial aneurysms (a unstable aneurysm group)and 18 stable intracranial aneurysms (a stable aneurysm group). The consistency of CAWE results diagnosed by 2 experienced neurovascular radiologists was better (κ =0. 828;95%CI 0. 668 -0. 989). CAWE of the unstable intracranial aneurysms was significantly more than those of the stable intracranial aneurysms. There was significant difference (75. 9%[22 / 29]vs. 33. 33%[6 / 18];χ2 = 8. 341,P = 0. 004). The age of the patients with unstable intracranial aneurysm was younger than 60 years;it was more than those with stable intracranial aneurysm. There was significant difference (68%[17/ 25]vs. 31. 25%[5/ 16];χ2 = 5. 299,P = 0. 021),while there were no significant differences in the imaging features,including the number,location,size,as well as the clinical risk factors,including gender, smoking history,drinking history,hypertension,and diabetes between the 2 groups (P > 0. 05). Conclusion CAWE is significantly more common in unstable intracranial aneurysms. It can differentiate the symptomatic,morphological changes of ruptured intracranial aneurysms between the stable intracranial aneurysms.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of multiple overlapping stents combined with coils in treating intracranial fusiform aneurysms, and to evaluate its therapeutic efficacy. Methods During the period from Aug. 2012 to Aug. 2013, three patients with intracranial fusiform aneurysm were admitted to authors’ hospital. The diagnosis was confirmed by CT angiography and whole cerebral angiography. Multiple overlapping stents combined with coils was carried out in all the three patients. All the patients were followed up and the clinical results were analyzed. Results Multiple overlapping stents combined with coils was successfully accomplished in all the three patients. Greater part of the aneurysmal cavity was occluded, and immediately after the procedure obvious blood whirling in the aneurysmal sac was seen. A total of 7 stents and 17 coils were used in treating the three patients. No aneurysm rupture or thrombosis occurred. The patients were followed up for 3 - 8 months. In one case the headache disappeared in 8 months, no dysneuria was detected, and angiography showed that the aneurysmal sac disappeared and the parent artery was patent. In another patient the headache disappeared in 3 months, and the angiography showed that the aneurysmal cavity had slight visualization and the parent artery was patent. The remaining patient was asymptomatic at 3-month follow-up. Conclusion For the treatment of intracranial fusiform aneurysms, multiple overlapping stents combined with coils is clinically feasible and safe with excellent short-term efficacy although its long-term results need to be further studied.

Background and purpose: Sorafenib hepatocellular carcinoma assessment randomized protocol (SHARP) and sorafenib in patients in Asia-Pacific region with hepatocellular carcinoma (ORIENTAL) had indicated that multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib could prolong overall survival (OS) and time to progression (TTP) as well as improve progress free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma. Drug-related adverse events in the course of treatment restricted its clinical application to a certain degree. This study was aimed to summerize the adverse events as well as the management of sorafenib in our clinic. Methods: Twenty-five cases clinically diagnosed as advanced hepatocellular carcinoma were enrolled from January 2008 to October 2009. All the patients who received sorafenib treatment met inclusion criteria as followed: (1) Progression of disease after trans-hepatic arterial chemoembolization therapy; (2) Extensive portal vein cancerous thrombus formation; (3) Portal zone or retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis or multiple remote metastasis, such as lung or bone; (4) Diffused poor blood supply to tumor; (5) Inform consent was obtained. All adverse events with different grade were observed during the beginning 12 weeks, and clinical treatment were carried out relatively. Results: Total of 25 cases were enrolled. Nine patients died of the disease, 3 of them died during the first 12 weeks, 3 patients abandoned sorafenib treatment, among them 2 died before the finish of 12 weeks treatment and 1 patient discontinued 5 months after the sorafenib treatment. Twenty cases finally assigned. Number of patients encountered drug-related adverse events were: HFSR (hand-foot-skin-reaction) 4(4/20), diarrhea 4(4/20), alopecia 5(5/20), rasb 4(4/20), fatigue 8(8/20), leukopenia and Thrombocytopenia 4(4/20), elevated blood pressure 1(1/20) and abdominal pain 1(1/20). After clinical management, 20 patients' sorafenib treatment were eventually not affected by adverse events. Conclusion: Sorafenib was well-tolerated and is a safe option of treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
