Objective To find the way of predicting invasive blood pressure.Methods 47 subjects were enrolled into the study.Non-invasive blood pressure (NBP) measurements were performed by the oscillometric device.The corresponding invasive blood pressure (IBP) reading was obtained from a radial intra-arterial catheter on the same arm.The index of the blood vessel structure was measured by two-dimensional ultrasound,homodynamic parameters of carotid and radial artery were measured by using the color Doppler ultrasound.Linear relation between IBP and NBP,as well as IBP and indices measured by non-invasive methods Was analyzed by regression method. Canonical correlation analysis was also conducted to find out the potential predictive factors of invasive blood pressure. Results The regression equation was:Y=17.21-64.357X1+2.802X2+1.324X3(Yrepresents ISBP,Xl represents RRI,X2 represents RPI,X3 represents NSBP).The first canonical correlation coefficients can be explained the correlation between index measured by non-invasive methods and invasive blood pressure.Conclusion Invasive blood pressure can be predicted from non-invasive blood pressure and hemodynamic parameters.In addition to noninvasive systolic hlood pressure and radial artery resistance index.the potential predictive factors of invasive blood pressure includes explmned by non-invasive diastolic blood pressure,radial pulsating index,carotid shear rate and carotid peak systolic velocity.

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 carotid siphon aneurysm model in dogs in order to test the mechanical features of a newly-designed Willis covered stent-graft and to investigate the histological reaction of the stent-implanted vessel during a follow-up period of 12 months.Methods Twenty-four saccular sidewall aneurysms were surgically created in twelve dogs(group A)and 12 carotid siphon aneurysms in another twelve dogs(group B).A Willis stent-graft was implanted in each aneurysm.Angiography was performed immediately after the procedure and 1,3,6 and 12 months after the implantation to investigate the aneurysm isolation,endoleak,stent angulation,and the patency or restenosis of the parent artery.Light and scanning electronic microscopy were used to identify aneurysmai sac thrombi,intima hyperplasia and endothelial progress of the stent-loaded arterial segment.Results In group B,postoperative immediate angiography demonstrated that two aneurysms had mild endoleak and three stents became angulated.Follow-up exam 12 months after the procedure revealed that all previous endoleaks disappeared,one parent artery became occluded and three parent arteries developed mild stenosis(<50%).In group A.occlusion of parent artery was seen in one and mild stenosis(<50%)in 2 cases.Electronic microscopy revealed new intima formation in all stents,and all aneurysmal sacs were filled with thrombi.In group B.the endothelialization process was not completed until 12 months after the stent implantation,and a marked correlation existed between endothelial cell arrangement and the hemodynamic orientation.Conclusion It is feasible to treat carotid-siphon aneurysm in dog with a Willis stent-graft.The complete endothelialization of the covered stent in tortuous vessel takes longer time than that in rather straight vessel.

Objective Complicated aneurysms located in the cisternal segment of the internal carotid artery(ICA-CSA)present unique therapeutic difficulties.This study is to discuss the feasibility of the Willis stent-graft in treating complicated ICA-CSA by comparing its effect with that of coiling therapy.Methods Willis covered stents were employed in 19 complicated ICA-CSAs(group A),while coils were used in 17 complicated ICA-CSAs(group B).Follow-up angiography was performed to investigate aneurysm recurrence,endoleak and parent artery(PA)stenosis.Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed to compare the recurrencefree and PA stenosis-free rate in both groups.Results Total exclusion was immediately achieved in 13 ICACSAs and minor endoleaks presented in 5 cases in group A.Total or near-total occlusion was achieved in 7 ICA-CSAs.subtotal occlusion in 8 and partial occlusion in 2 cases in group B after coiling.Acute thrombosis occurred in 1 patient in either group and re-hemorrhage happened in 1 patient after coiling.Follow-up angiography in group A revealed that 16 ICA-CSAs were completely isolated,with two parent arteries showing mild in-stent stenosis.Eighteen months after the procedure,Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the recurrence-free rate was 93.3%and 50%,while the stenosis-free rate of parent artery was 87.5%and 100% in group A and in Group B,respectively.In group A and group B the clinical neurological symptoms were fully recovered in 9 and 9,obviously improved in 3 and 5,unchanged in 2 and 2,and aggravated in one and 0 patients,respectively.Conclusion The implantation of Willis stent-graft is a feasible endovascular therapy for complicated ICA-CSAs.When the parent artery is very tortuous or when the risk that a main collateral branch may be wrongly covered and occluded is present,the implantation of Willis covered stent can not be taken as the treatment of first choice.
