Objective To evaluate the method and result of thyroid artery embolization as a new therapy for hyperthyroidism. Methods Twenty two patients with hyperthyroidism underwent selective thyroid artery embolization. Totally 52 thyroid arteries were embolized with microspheres. The indications to this therapy were following: hyperthyroid patients having indications to surgical and 131 I therapy, clinically being difficult to complete the preparation for subtotal thyroidectomy and having high risk for surgical process because of their huge thyroid gland. Results Serum level of thyroid hormones dropped significantly [median T3 from 8 8 nmol/L(4 3～ 43 0 nmol/L) to 4 0 nmol/L(1 1～9 2 nmol/L), median T4 from 206 4 nmol/L(77 4～748 2 nmol/L) to 144 5 nmol/L(25 8～279 9 nmol/L), P

Objecitve To observe the effects of ursolicacid on contractile activity of uterine smooth muscle strips of virginal rats.Methods 20 Wistar virginal rats,weight 200-300g were selected,to record the effects of ursolicacid(1.0?10~(-8),2.0?10~(-8),3.0?10~(-8),4.0?10~(-8)g/L) on contractile activity of uterine smooth muscle strips with Biolap 410 Biological System.Diphenhydramine(2?10~(-6)mol/L),Phentolamine(2?10~(-6)mol/L),Verapamil(2?10~(-7)mol/L),Indomethacin(2?10~(-5)mol/L) were used as antagonists to study the mechanisms of ursolicacid on uterine smooth muscle strips.Results Ursolicacid could significantly potentiate uterine contractile activity of virginal rats.It could increase the frequencies,prolong the duration and enlarge the amplitude of contractile activity.The effect of which could be inhibited by the Indomethacin;but could not restrained by other antagonists.Conclusion The results of Ursolicacid may be mainly primarily with prostaglandin synthese or release,but not mediated by H_(1) receptor,? receptor and L-voltage-dependant calcium channels.

OBJECTIVES: To summarize the characteristics of family homicide cases and to provide reference for the analysis and prevention of such cases. METHODS: Seventeen solved family homicide cases in Liyang from 2004 to 2014 were investigated. The original registration information, record of scene investigation, corpse inspection report and case situation were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The characteristics of the 17 family homicides cases showed that most victims were female and most suspects were male, and spouse infidelity and suspected spouse infidelity have higher proportion in the motives for the killings. Murders by patients with psychosis, camouflage murders and murder-suicides occupied a certain proportion in the family homicide cases. CONCLUSIONS The family homicide cases are correlated with the family factors such as extramarital sexual intercourse and murder by patients with psychosis. Some suspects suicided after murder. The tools for committing crimes have the features of simplicity, randomness and easy source availability.

Objective To know the remote quality of life of patients with tumor of larynx when ab-scised by different type, and then summarize proper countermeasures of nursing. Methods Selected 82 laryngocarcinoma patients with exacte]y diagnosis. There were 40 cases had received total laryngectumy, 42 cases had received partial laryngectomy. Evaluated the level of remote quality of life of 82 patients by QLQ-H&N65, and then analyzed the datum. Results The level of quality of life of patients with total laryn-gectomy were worse than those in patients with partial laryngectomy in the aspects such as general health, swallow, language, emotional function, social function, body fuction and so on. Conclusions The quality of life of patients with tumor of larynx is influenced by several factors, their remote quality of life should be emphasised by nurses.

Objective To investigate the value of percutaneous transsplenic varices embolization (PTSVE) for treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Methods Twenty cases with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension suffered upper gastrointestinal bleeding. PTSVE was administered to them with hardener and coils. Among them, 8 cases had massive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in right lobe; 10 cases with hepatocellular carcinoma had portal vein tumor thrombus and occlusion; the other two cases with liver cirrhosis had portal vein thrombosis. All of these cases were not suitable for percutaneous transhepatic varices embolization (PTHVE) . PTSVE was performed under the guidance of fluoroscopy. Results Technical success was achieved in 18 patients. A total of 35 gastric coronary veins were embolized. In all these cases, upper gastrointestinal bleeding stopped after PTSVE. There was no recurrence within 1 month follow-up. No serious complication occurred. Conclusion PTSVE is a safe and efficient alternative treatment for upper gastrointestinal bleeding, especially for cases with portal vein occlusion or with massive HCC in right lobe of liver.

Objective To explore the application of non-breathholding photography technology in angiography. Methods 183 cases with abdominal and thoracic DSA examination were separated into non-breathholding experimental group and conventional breath-hold control group in proper order. The experimental group collected images in natural breathing and the conventional group gained images after inspiratory breathholding in imaging process. The images of two groups were adjusted by the post-processing functions and were print film; the quality of the images was evaluated. Results In the chest experimental group(n =37) had 36cases(97.30% )satisfactory and 1 case(2.70% ) unsatisfactory, and the control group(n=36)had 32cases(88.89%) satisfactory and 4 (11.11%) unsatisfactory. In the abdominal experimental group(n=55) had 53 cases(96.36%) satisfactory and 2 cases(3.64%) unsatisfactory images, and the control group(n=55) had 49 cases(89.09%) satisfactory and 6cases(10.91%) unsatisfactory images. There is no significant difference of the image quality between the two groups in each part (chest part ?2=2.02, 0.1

The lumber ligaments play an important role in spinal bsomechanics. The results of three-dimensional finite element analysis showed that one of functions of lumbar ligaments is transmission of the tensile load between the lumbar vertebrae. The anterior longitudinal ligament is loaded in extension of lumbar spine and the resistance to the tensile load in flexion is provided by other ligaments. These ligaments are subject to much more tension with degsneration of the intervertebral disc so that a series of pathological changes occur. Relevant significance in clinical aspect is also discussed.

Objective To study the effects of nutgrass galingale rhizome decotion on contractile activity of uterine smooth muscle strips of non-pregnant rats.Methods We selected 60 Wistar non-pregnant rats of weight 250-300 g to record the effects of nutgrass galingale rhizome decotion(1.0 g/L,2.0 g/L,4.0 g/L,8.0 g/L) on contractile activity of uterine smooth muscle strips of non-pregnant rats with Biolap 410 Biological System.Four antagonists,diphenhydramine(2?10-6mol/L),phentolamine(2?10-6mol/L), verapamil(2?10-7mol/L),and indomethacin(2?10-5mol/L) were used to study their mechanisms respectively.Results Water extract of nutgrass galingale rhizome(4?10-3kg/L) could significantly weaken uterine contractile activity of non-pregnant rats,lessen the frequencies,shorten the duration and lower the amplitude of contractile activity.Conclusion The effect of nutgrass galingale rhizome on contractile activity of uterine smooth muscle strips in rats may be mainly associated with prostaglandin synthese or release nothing with L-voltage-dependant calcium channels,H1 receptor or ? receptor.

Objective To discuss the therapeutic efficacy of bidirectional subintimal angioplasty in the treatment of atherosclerotic occlusive of lower limbs.Methods Five patients with long segment of obstructed artery in lower limb were enrolled in the study.Of five patients,occlusion of the lower segment of abdominal aorta and bilateral iliac artery was seen in one,occlusion of iliac artery in 2 and occlusion of superficial femoral artery in the remaining two.Antegrade subintimal angioplasty procedure was unsuccessful in all five patients as the wire could not be placed into the true lumen,so retrograde subintimal angioplasty by puncturing the distal segment of the occlusive artery was employed.Through the newly created channel the retrograde guide wire was manipulated to be pulled out of vessel through the antegrade catheter.The subintimal tract was dilated with angioplasty balloon and the stent implantation was performed.Results Bidirectional subintimal angioplasty was successfully accomplished in all five patients,with a total of nine stents being implanted.Conclusion Bidirectional subintimal angioplasty is a safe and effective procedure for bringing the subintimal recanalization to success,this technique can be regarded as a remedial measure when unidirectional subintimal angioplasty ends up in failure.
