Objective To evaluate the clinical value of angiographic diagnosis and effectiveness of transcatheter therapy in hemorrhage after cholecystectomy. Methods The site and cause of hemorrhage after cholecystectomy were verified by selective DSA in 5 patients and then followed by treatment with target artery embolization. The cause of hemorrhage after cholecystectomy wasn't verified by selective DSA in 4 patients,surgical resection was then carried out. Results Nine cases had hemorrhage with various degrees after cholecystectomy. 55.56% of them were arterial hemorrhage identified by angiography,including 5 cases treated with target artery embolization effectively without any other important complication. The other cases were cured by abdominal exploring operation totally belonged to venous hemorrhage. Conclusion DSA and interventional therapy are of great value for arterial hemorrhage after cholecystectomy,especially the method of embolization is safe and efficient.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16: 696-698)

Objective To explore the correlation between polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene and hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDP) in Chinese people.Methods The 21 case-control studies on the correlation between polymorphism of ACE gene (genotype DD,DI,Ⅱ) and HDP in Chinese people were analyzed by meta-analysis.The analysis was performed on Review Manager 4.2 software.According to the result of test for heterogeneity,the random effects model was used to calculate the pooled OR value and 95% CI.Results Twenty-one case-control studies were enrolled in this meta-analysis,a total of 1486 HDP cases and 1758 controls were included.The pooled OR values (95% CI) of DD,DI,Ⅱ genotypes of ACE gene polymorphism for HDP risk were 2.60 (1.84-3.67),0.98 (0.76-1.27) and 0.46 (0.32-0.65) respectively.Conclusions Genotype Ⅱ of ACE is a protective gene against HDP and genotype DD is a susceptibility gene for HDP.

BACKGROUND: Uncontrolled-rate freezing in -80 ℃ refrigerator is convenient, while controlled-rate freezing in -196 ℃ liquid nitrogen is reliable and long-term, the combination of the two can simplify the process and has been successfully used in clinics. OBJECTIVE: To explore the influences of different cryoprotectants by ladder-style freezing from -80 ℃ low temperature refrigerator to liquid nitrogen on the cryopreservation of hemopoietic stem cells. METHODS: The experiments were divided into four groups: 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group, 5% DMSO combined with 3% hydroxyethyl starch group, 5% DMSO combined with 0.25 mol/L trehalose group, 5% DMSO combined with 3% hydroxyethyl starch and 0.25 mol/L trehalose group. Peripheral hemopoietic stem cells were cryopreserved by ladder-style freezing from -80 ℃ low temperature refrigerator to liquid nitrogen. The ultrastructural changes were examined by transmission electron microscopy, the expressions of Annexin-V, PI and Caspase-3 were detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in survival rate, apoptotic rate and necrotic rates of the cryopreserved cells in the four groups (P > 0.05). The ultrastructural changes had no significant difference under the transmission electron microscopy. The viability was more than 90% in frozen-thawed mononuclear cell colonies, and the apoptosis was roughly 50% in the frozen-thawed CD45+ cell population, which contained many mature cells. Of hemopoietic stem cells, early stage cells have greater resistance to damage of cryopreservation than late stage cells. It is concluded that the addition of hydroxyethyl starch or trehalose into DMSO exhibits no synergistic protective effect on the cryopreservation of hemopoietic stem cells.
