Chinese Journal of Radiology 2001;0(08):-
Objective To study the feasibility of the treatment of tubule pregnancy by interventional technique. Methods By using Seldinger′s method, 40 cases of tubule pregnancy received superselective angiography of uterine artery,followed by perfusion of methotrexate (MTX) through the catheter and embolization of uterine artery with gelatin sponge. The concentration of serum ? HCG, the change of pelvic cavity, and the open condition of oviduct were regularly monitored postoperatively. Results Angiographic findings of tubule pregnancy were classified into 3 types. Type Ⅰ, no abnormal vascular appearance were found in 3 cases (7.5%). Type Ⅱ, patchy vascular staining of villi in parauterine area was observed in 4 cases (10.0%). Type Ⅲ, a round vascular staining of villi surrounded by small blood vessels in parauterine area occurred in 33 cases (82.5%). The cure rate in total 40 cases achieved 97.5% (39/40). After treatment, the mean time that the serum ? HCG concentration returned to normal was (7.66?2.01) d and the mean time that the menstruation returned to normal was (29.78?7.14) d. In 21 cases who hoped their fertility remaining intact, the oviduct were verified open by hysterosalpingography (HSG) in 20 cases, the open rate was 95.24%. Conclusion The treatment of tubule pregnancy by interventional technique was proved no harmful effect to reproductive organs and would expect to preserve fertility. This method could resolve the difficult problem of celiac hemorrhage which making conservative treatment impossible and internal hemorrhage happened in the course of traditional conservative therapy leading to treatment failure finally. This method might be a new conception and a choice to treat tubal pregnancy through artery.

Studies on the origin of the afferent acetylcholinesterase-containing fibres of the nucleus accumbens in the brain stem of 27 rats were carried out by retrograde fluorescent labeling combined with AChE histochemistry. DAPI or Pr was injected into the nucleus accumbens. The animals survived for 2.5-3 days. DFP was injected intramuscularly 6 to 8 hours before left intraventricular perfusion by 10% formalin-containing phosphate buffer solution (0.1mol/L, pH 7.4). The frozen serial transverse sections of the brain stem were incubated in Karnovsky-Roots solution. The fluorescent retrograde labeled cells with AChE reaction-positive products were traced under OLYMPUS fluorescence microscope and light microscope simultaneously. The results were as follows: (1) On the ipsilateral side, the retrograde fluorescent labeled cells with AChE reaction-positive products were found in the following nuclei: area ventralis tegmentalis (AVT), substantia nigra (SN), nucleus raphes mesencephali caudalis(cmr), nucleus tegmenti pedunculopontinus(tpt), nucleus raphe dorsalis(dr), nucleus centralis superior (cs), nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis(rtp), Locus ceruleus (Lc), nucleus tractus solitarus(tsol), nucleus raphe pallidus (rpa), nucleus reticularis paramedianus (rpm), subnucleus reticularis ventralis(rv), nucleus reticularis lateralis(rL). (2) On the contralateral side, a few of the above mentnioned cells were also found in AVT, SN, dr, cs, and tsol.

Objective To establish a detection method integrating DPRA ( direct peptide reactivity assay) with h?CLAT ( human cell line activation test) to screen the skin sensitization potency of chemicals and plant extracts. Methods 12 chemicals and 7 plant extracts were chosen as the test substances. Firstly, the test substances were incubated together with two different peptides ( cysteine and lysine) respectively for reaction for 24 h. The peptide consumptions were analyzed by HPLC. Simultaneously, THP?1 cells were cultured in vitro and then exposed to different concentrations of test sub?stances for 24 h to examine the cell viability, cell surface markers CD54 and CD86 were assessed by flow cytometry. The predicting results were compared further between DPRA and h?CLAT. Results 12 chemicals were distinguished correctly by DPRA classified as 2 non?sensitizers and 10 sensitizers. The results of DPRA were in accordance with h?CLAT. Predic?ting the sensitization potency of plant extracts by DPRA showed that 6 plant extracts were determined as suspected sensiti?zers except for green tea extract. But using the method of h?CLAT, 4 plant extracts were examined as suspected sensitizers except for green tea extract, herba portulacae extract and ginseng fruit extract. The coherence of DPRA and h?CLAT was 0?57. Conclusion This detection method integrating DPRA with h?CLAT can predict single compound accurately. As for complex compound, it can achieve preliminary prediction and need other integrating methods to make a further identifica?tion.
