Objective To summarize treatment experiences of microsurgical clipping for anterior communicating artery aneurysm via pterional approach.Methods Clinical data of 82 cases undergoing microsurgical clipping for anterior communicating artery aneurysm via pterional approach in the first affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University from October 2008 to December 2014 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into different groups by Hunt-Hess illness grading scale,with 11 cases for level 0,7 cases for level Ⅰ,30 cases for level Ⅱ,25 cases for level Ⅲ,8 cases for level Ⅳ,and 1 cases for level Ⅴ.Twenty-one patients underwent operation at early stage of SAH (＜3d),15 at late stage of SAH (4d～2W),and 35 at prolonged stage of SAH (＞2W).The prognosis of patients was evaluated according to GOS classification criteria at discharge.Results A total of 85 ACoAA were found in 82 patients and all of them were clipped and,at the same time,3 aneurysms were resected and 11 thrombuses were punctured,cut and removed.In the operation,15 (17.6％) aneurysms ruptured again and temporary blocking happened for 73 times,with the shortest blocking time of 2 rmin,the longest of 40 rmin,and the average of 9.26min.According to GOS score,good recovery rate was 79.3％ (65/82),moderate disability rate was 12.2％ (10/82),severe disability rate was 3.7％ (3/82),vegetative state rate was 0％,and death rate was 4.9％ (4/82).Good recovery rates for the operations at early,late and prolonged stage of SAH were 85.7％,73.3％ and 82.3％ respectively and for level 0 to level Ⅴ were 90.9％,85.6％,86.7％ and 84.0％,25.0％ and 0.0％ respectively.Results of DSA or CTA re-examination upon 55 patients followed-up at discharge or three months after discharge showed that tumor pedicle were clipped and aneurysm disappeared.Fifty cases were followed up from four months to seven years after the operation,with one case of aneurysm recurrence.Another thirty-two cases were lost to follow-up.ConclusiornS Microsurgical techniques and microdissection are keys to successful operation.Pterional approach can guarantee successful clipping of aneurysms with different directions,locations and sizes.It is also an easy,effective and reliable approach with less postoperative complications.Operation for anterior communicating artery aneurysm should be performed as early as possible.

Objective To observe the migration and distribution of OECs in injured spinal cord and discuss their relation with the recovery of spinal cord function. Methods The rats were contused by a force of 10 g · 25 mm with NYU-impactor at T10 level. The OECs acutely isolated from green fluorescence protein (GFP) rats were purified, identified and then transplanted into the injured site and the rostral and caudal parts of the spinal cord one week after injury, with total volume of the transplanted OECs for 90 000/μl. Within 13 weeks after transplantation, the migration and distribution of OECs were qualitatively observed on the cryo-sections under fluorescence light microscope. The area and the length of OECs distribution were semi-quantitatively determined. The locomotor function of the spinal cord was appraised by BBB score. Results OECs were located collectively in the transplanted site at early stage after transplantation and then spread gradually mainly along the long axis of the cord. OECs could be found in the cavity of the contused spinal cord. The area and the length of OECs distribution were increased from 1.33 mm2 and 4.23 mm respectively at one week to 3.30 mm2 and 7.68 mm respectively at 13 weeks after transplantation. In the meantime, the locomotor function was gradually improved. Conclusion OECs can migrate within the contused spinal cord, as may contribute to the recovery of locomotor function.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of CD28 expression on peripheral blood T lymphocytes in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).Methods Flow cytometry and tri-color direct immunofluorescence were used to examine CD3 + T lymphocyte subsets and CD28 expression in whole blood (using the no-wash method) from 36 children with JIA.Results During the active phase of disease,the frequency of CD28 + expression on both CD4 + and CD8 + T cells in the peripheral blood of children with JIA was significantly lower than in normal controls (P ＜ 0.01).The frequency of CD4 + CD28-T cells in the peripheral blood of children with JIA was significantly higher than in normal controls (P ＜ 0.01).CD4 + T cell counts in the peripheral blood of children with JIA,which were mostly of the CD4 + CD28-T cell subtype,were significantly higher than in normal controls (P ＜ 0.01),whereas the CD8 + T cell count was significantly reduced (P ＜0.01).During the resting phase,CD4 +/CD8 + T cell counts and CD28 expression in the peripheral blood of children with JIA were significantly different from normal controls (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The frequency of CD4 + CD28-T cells can be used as an indicator of the active phase of JIA.CD4 + T cell and CD4+ CD28-T cell apoptosis was inhibited in JIA patients.These immune-active T lymphocytes with continued survival can promote the occurrence and development of JIA.

Objective To investigate the effects of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) on the tryptophan-kynurenine(TRP) metabolic pathway in rat brains and provide new evidence for the relationship between inflammation and depression.Methods Rats in LPS group were given a single dose of 3.5 mg/kg LPS.while the rats in control group were given the same dosage of saline.The dialysis in ventro-hippocampus were collected by microdialysis within 8 hours and then the TRP,KYN and KA were detected by LC-MS/MS.And the expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase was detected by Western-blot.Results The level of TRP((550.15± 107.96) pmol/L) and KYN ((337.95±62.73) pmol/L) showed a time-dependent increase after administration LPS 4 h compared with the control group(TRP (368.38±59.31) pmol/L,KYN (172.80±43.96) pmol/L),while KA level in the circulation exhibited a trend to decrease,especially at 7 h ((3.47±0.62) pmol/L,P＜0.05).The ratio of KYN/TRP significantly increased at about 5 h (0.69±0.11,P＜ 0.05),and an ratio of KA/KYN (0.02±0.00) was dramatically decreased after administering LPS 4 h compared with the control group (0.05±0.01)(P＜0.05).Most of the analytes showed more dramatic changes around 4 h to 8 h.LPS group(1.48±0.37) increased the protein expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase compared with the control group(1.00±0.24) (P＜0.01).Conclusions LPS may cause tryptophan metabolic abnormalities and accelerate the way of kynurenine metabolism,leading to decreased the kynurenic acid status.

Fetal atrioventricular block (AVB) is a type of fetal bradyarrhythmias. The reported incidence of fetal complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) and mortality of perinatal fetuses and neonates are signiifcantly higher in pregnancies of anti-SSA/Ro-positive mothers than that of anti-SSA/Ro-negative mothers. The auto-antibodies in maternal serum that can be transported into fetal circulation through placenta may damage fetal cardiac conductive system and eventually result in fetal AVB. There are evidences that early diagnosis and proper treatment can improve the prognosis and survival rate of affected fetuses. In this article, the pathogenesis, risk factors, prenatal diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of fetal immune mediated AVB is reviewed.
