Objective To evaluate the surgical and interventional therapy in patients with acute superior mesenteric vein thrombosis.Methods In this series,31 acute superior mesenteric vein thrombosis(SMVT) cases were reviewed from Oct 2006 to Feb 2012.According to varied clinical presence,patients received superior mesenteric vein thrombectomy with necrotic bowel resection or indirected catheter thrombolysis through superior mesenteric artery.Results 6 of 9 cases undergoing surgery were cured and other 3 still complained abdominal distension when discharged for not being able to bear anticoagulation and thrombolysis after operation due to alimentary tract hemorrhage,and residual thrombus was shown in superior veins by venography.17 of 22 treated by interventional therapy gained obvious relief within 72 hours after intervention,others gained symptomatic relief in 5-7 days.Indirected catheter thrombolysis were interrupted in 2 due to alimentary tract hemorrhage.One patient was shifted to surgery 48 hours after catheter thrombolysis due to deterioration.Mean duration of follow-up after hospital discharge was (19 ± 5) months in 25 cases,20 had no abdominal distension and pain,3 with postcibal abdominal distension.Conclusions Indirected thrombolytic therapy by way of the superior mesenteric artery is a technically simple,safe and effective therapy for patients with acute SMVT.

ObjectiveTo explore the causes of recurrence of Budd Chiari syndrome after radical resection and the key points of second surgery. Methods Venography was performed in 11 relapsing cases. The diseased IVC segment was resected and replaced with artificial vascular graft in 4 cases, membranectomy and thrombectomy were performed in 2 cases. Thrombectomy with artificial vascular patch cavoplasty in 4 cases, incision of the stenotic IVC and right hepatic venoplasty and IVC venoplasty with artificial vascular patch repairing was performed in 1 case. Result The mortality rate was zero. Acute heart failure occurred in 2 cases and thoracic hemorrhea in 2 cases. Symptoms disappeared or improved in all cases. Patients were followed up from 6 to 68 months, with excellent results in 9 cases and fair in 2 cases. Conclusion There were some factors influcing the long term results of the surgery including distal free length from diseased IVC, thrombus clearance, material and size of the patch used for venoplasty.

Objective To evaluate a combination of interventional treatment and surgical exploration for acute lower limb ischemic disease.Methods We reviewed 42 cases admitted from July 2007 to January 2010,all patients complained pain,paralysis,pulselessness,pallor and paresthesia.After Fogarty thrombectomy angiography was taken in DSA room.Patients with angiostenosis greater than 50％ were then managed by interventional treatment(CDT,PTA,Stenting).Results Lives were saved in all patients,40 lower limbs were saved,and 2 patients received below knee amputation.The amputation rate was 4.76％.Dorsal or(and)posterior tibial artery of foot was felt in 33 patients,symptoms significantly improved.The other 7 patients still had painful and paralysis on the diseased limb.Conclusions The interventional treatment and surgical operation in acute lower limb ischemic disease is safe and result is satisfactory,which can improve the long-term patency and salvage rate of the lower limb.

Objective To evaluate the methods and efficacy of interventional treatment for subclavian arterial stenosis or occlusion retrospectively. Methods From Oct 2003 to Sop 2009,25 patients with subclavian arterial lesions , including stenosis in 13 cases and occlusion in 12 cases, underwent interventional treatment. Four patients received percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) alone, and concurrent 22 stents placement were performed in 20 cases. Results The technical success rate in stenotic lesions was 100% and in occluded lesions was 91.6% with a interventional failure in 1 case. Blood pressure increased significantly after interventional treatment. The diseased side/healthy side blood pressure index increased from 0.60 ±0.11 mm Hg preoperatively to (0.95 ±0.12) mm Hg postoperatively( t = 10.53 ,P ＜0.01 ). Clinical symptoms improved, and there were no complications with strokes and embolism. 20 cases were followed up for 30 months ( from 2 months to 69 months ). Restenosis was found in 2 cases and the restenosis rate was 8.3%. The cumulative primary patency rate was 92.5% and 81.3% at 1 and 3 years,respectively. Conclusions Intervention was a less invasive and safe, effective treatment for subclavian arterial lesions.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endovascular interventional treatment for infrapopliteal arterial ischemic diseases. Methods Sixty patients(65 limbs)of infrapopliteal arterial isehernia of the lower extremities received pereutancotm transluminal angioplasty(PTA)and/or stents implantation from November 2004 to July 2007.The symptoms,changes of ankle/brachial index(ABI),limb salvage rate and immediate patent rate were observed. Results PTA/stenting procedure was successful in 51 out of 60 patients(65 limbs)with the technical success rate of 83.3%.Symptoms were improved in 53 cases(88.3%)including complete symptom remission in 40 cases(66.7%),partial remission in 13 patients(21.7%).The procedure failed in 7 cases(11.6%).In successful cases,AB1 increased from preoperative 0.40±0.18 to postoperative 0.91±0.22(P＜0.01).The amputation below knee was performed in two cases and toe apodizers in four cases.The limb salvage rate was 91% during the same hospitalization.Discharged 54 cases were followed up with 14.5±1.2 months,during this period amputation above knee was performed in 2 cases,amputation below knee in 2 cases,and toe apodizers in 2 cases,with a limb salvage rate of 88.9%(48/54).Symptoms were recurrent in five cases,with recurrence rate of 9.2%.Vascular reocclusion or restenosis were found in 10 cases.the patent rate was 81.5% and the cumulative patent rate was 57.3% in one year. Conclusions Endovascular interventional treatment for infrapopliteal arterial ischemic disease is safe and effective.

Objective To evaluate the prevention and management for the complications in interventional therapy for the lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO). Methods In this study 207 ASO cases received interventional therapy. The relationship between complication rates and different TASC type and the influence of diabetes mellitus (DM) with coronary heart disease (CHD) on critical organs complication rates was analyzed. Results The intervention succeeded in 190 cases. There was 17 failures, including 13 procedure failures and 4 deaths due to postoperative critical organ complications. Among the complications there were puncture site hemorrhage in 12, pseudoaneurysm in 4, alimentary tract hemorrhage in 2, arteriorrhexis in 6, cerebral infarction in 8, acute heart failure in 9, respiratory failure in 13, renal failure in 6, thrombosis in 5 and blue-toe syndrome in 1. The intraoperative complication rate of femoral-political type (39.84%, 51/128) was high than that of aorta-iliac type (18.99%, 15/79) (P< 0.05). Those critical organ complication rates of patients with DM and patients with DM&CHD were 27.66% (13/47)and 24.49% (12/49)respectively, they were higher than that of patients without (5%, 2/40) (P<0.05). Conclusions The high complication rates during interventional therapy of ASO were because of misoperation and complicated pathological type and together with DM and CHD. These rates could be decreased when we treated DM and CHD before operation and chosen a reasonable method and shorten the duration of operation.

Aim To investigate Jaridonin′s selective killing of cancer cells and explore the related molecular mechanism. Methods After treatment by Jaridonin for 24 h, the effect of Jaridonin on the cell viability was examined using MTT assay. The effect of Jaridonin on cytomorphology and mitochondrial membrane poten-tial (Δψm) was observed by a fluorescence microsco-py. The apoptosis of cell lines treated with Jaridonin, as well as the level of reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) was analyzed by flow cytometry. Expression of the pro-teins related with mitochondria apoptosis pathways was detected by Western blot. Results Jaridonin caused strong antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on MGC-803 cells, but there were not remarkable effects on GES-1 cells. Furthermore, the expression of Bax was up-regulated, and the release of cytochrome c from mi-tochondria to cytosol was also promoted in MGC-803 cells treated by Jaridonin. The cleavage of caspase-3 in MGC-803 cells was also observed. Jaridonin increased persistently intracellular levels of ROS in MGC-803 cells, whereas the level of ROS in GES-1 rose in the first stage, and then decreased, and dropped to the basic level after 6 h. More interestingly, Jaridonin-in-duced ROS accumulation and the inhibition of MGC-803 cell proliferation were almost completely attenuated in the presence of GSH. Conclusions Jaridonin se-lectively kills cancer cells and induces apoptosis in MGC-803 through ROS-mediated mitochondrial dam-age.

Objective To discuss the surgical and interventional treatment of vascular injuries. Methods Clinical data of 85 patients with vascular injuries were retrospectively studied by grouping. Location of injury included jugular vein, vertebral artery, main extremity vessels and superior mesenteric artery. There were 25 patients with traffic injury and 60 with stah injury, of whom 62 patients underwent surgical operation (vascular grafting were performed in 37 and vascular repair in 25) and 23 received in-tervention therapy. Results There were one death and one amputation. Fifty-eight patients were fol-lowed up, which showed that all patients had good vascular patency. Conclusions Prompt and correct diagnosis is very important for treatment of vascular injury. Interventional treatment had merits of minor trauma, short operation duration, simple manipulation and quick postoperative recovery. Surgical opera-tion and endovascular intervention can be used together in treating vascular injury.

Objective To evaluate interventional therapy for left iliac vein stenosis or occlusion (left iliac vein compressed syndrome or Cokkett syndrome).Method In this study 316 cases received interventional therapy for left iliac common vein lesions,189 cases underwent staged saphenous vein high ligation and stripping,and 82 cases received external prosthetic sleeve valvuloplasty.Two hundred and thirty-one cases were followed up from 6 to 120 months(average 52 months),with all cases being evaluated by colour ultrasound,and among those 116 cases received venography.Results The stenosis or occlusive segments of left iliac vein were successfully dilated in 305 cases,of which 272 cases received stents implanting therapy.There was no inhospital mortality nor pulmonary embolism.According to following up results.the symptom of varicose vein disappeared in about 95.8%patients.and the symptom of leg swelling disappeared or dramatically relieved in about 95.7%cases.among which 74%leg ulcers were completely healed.Stents were occluded by thrombus during venography in about 5.4%. Conclusions The long term result of interventional therapy is satisfactory for left iliac vein stenosis or occlusion caused by Cockett syndrome.
