Objective Stroke is one of the leading causes of death.Carotid occlusive diease is responsible for 25% of the ischemic strokes.Surgical carotid endarterectomy has been accepted as the best maragement for the extracranial caroid occlusive disease.However,in recent years,with the development of the endovascular technology,carotid artery stenting becomes more and more popular accompanied by increase of articles in this field correspondingly.The practical difficulty exists in comparison hetween the carotid stenting and endarterectomy through randomized controlled trials.Standardized report including trial design,patient selection,outcomes,statistical disposition thus hecome extremely necessary.This article gives a detailed description concerning about the patient selection,pretreatment evaluation,treatment description,curative effect evaluation and complications of carotid artery stenting.The purpose of this article is to standardize the reports of carotid stenting so that the descriptive and statistical data from different authors and agents can be compared.

[Objective] To study the effect on the growth of mouse Lewis lung carcinoma and on the expression of VEGF in tumor tissue.[Methods] C57BL/6 mice were inoculated the Lewis lung carcinoma cell at right armpit and divided into groups.Different groups were administered by MAALC(low,normal and high dose),CTX or saline.After 15 days,all mice were put to death to detach the tumors then weighed them.After that,we treated tumor tissue with VEGF immunohistochemistry stain,detected the integral optical density of VEGF expression with image analytical technique.[Results] Compared with model group,the average weight and VEGF expression level of the tumors of the high dose group were less and statistically significant(P

Objective:To investigate the expression of activin A in paraventricular nucleus (PVN)of the WKY rats and its influence in arterial blood pressure,and to clarify the mechanism of activin A in the regulation of arterial blood pressure by PVN.Methods:The WKY rats were selected.The expressions of activin A,ActRⅡA,ActRⅡB,and Smads mRNA in PVN of the WKY rats were measured by RT-PCR.The expression of ActRⅡA protein in PVN was detected by immunohistochemical staining.The microinjection of exogenous activin A into PVN was used to observe the changes of arterial blood pressure.The primary cultured PVN neurons from the WKY rats were divided into control group and activin A group.The mRNA expression levels of ActRⅡA,ActRⅡB,and Smads in the PVN neurons were analyzed by RT-PCR.Results:Activin A,ActRⅡA,ActRⅡB,Smad2 and Smad3 mRNA were expressed in PVN of the WKY rats.The ActRⅡ A protein expression in PVN was further confirmed by immunohistochemical staining.After microinjection of activin A or angiotensin Ⅱ (AgⅡ)into PVN,the mean arterial blood pressure was increased obviously compared with before treatment (P <0.05).Moreover,compared with control group,the expression levels of ActRⅡA and Smad3 mRNA in primary cultured PVN neurons of the rats in vitro were significantly increased (P <0.05).Conclusion:Activin A can regulate the arterial blood pressure in PVN in an autocrine or paracrine manner,which is related to ActRⅡA-Smad3 signal pathway.

Objective To discus the diagnosis,favorabl management and diagnosis of pilocytastrocytoma.Methods Provided by the information from CT,MRI and operation,we try to discus and confirm the characteristics of this tumor.Results Pilocytastrocytoma commonly occurs in 20 years old or younger.The most frequent location involve by tumor were cerebellum.The most common presenting sympton was increased intracranial pressure,and then cerebellum symptoms such as incoordination.Final diagnosis made depending on mainly pathology.We found the relationship between prognosis and the extent of surgical removal.Conclusions Pilocytastrocytoma usually occur in children and adolescent.The most common site of these tumors are the cerebellum.And the more complete extent of surgical removal,the better prognosis.So it was called as "benign" tumors.If pilocyticastrocytoma were subtotally excised,the addition of postoperative irradiati could significantly prolong survival.

Aim To investigate the ability of chymase inhibitors o n histamine release from human colon mast cells. Methods Human ma st cells were dispersed from colon tissue with collagenase and hyaluronidase, an d were challenged with stimulus for 15 min at 37℃.A glass fibre-based fluorome tric assay was used to measure histamine in the supernatants of dispersed mast c ells.Results chymase inhibitors ZIGPFM, TPCK and ? 1-antitry psin failed to induce significant histamine release from colon mast cells. All t he chymase inhibitors were able to inhibit anti-IgE induced histamine release i n a concentration dependent manner with a maximum of 37%, 26% and 36.8% inhibit ion being achieved with 1 mmol?L -1 of ZIGPFM, 80 mmol?L -1 of TPCK , 30 mmol?L -1 of ? 1-antitrypsin, respectively. Preincubation of inhib itors of ZIGPFM and TPCK with cells for 20 min at 37℃ before challenging with a nti-IgE was able to slightly enhance their inhibitory actions. All the chymase inhibitors were able to inhibit calcium ionophore induced histamine release, th e maximum inhibition was 23.6%～35%.And the extent of inhibition by TPCK was in creased when colon mast cells were preincubated for 20 min before calcium ionoph ore being added. However, the same treament failed to improve the action of ZIGP FM. Conclusion In the current study, we found that inhibitors o f chymase were able to inhibit anti-IgE and calcium ionophore induced histamine release from human colon mast cells, which may indicate a potential of a novel therapy for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease or other mast cell relat ed diseases.

Objective:To investigate the ability of chymase inhibitors on tryptase release from human colon mast cells.Methods:Human mast cells were dispersed from colon tissue with collagenase and hyaluronidase,and were challenged with stimulus for 15 min at 37℃.Tryptase assay performed following previous procedures.In brief,a 96-well microtitre plate was coated with antiserum to human tryptase.The tryptase levels in the samples were detected with a monoclonal antibody specific to tryptase and the reaction was visualized by addition of OPD.Results:At 15 min and 35 min following incubation,anti-IgE and calcium ionophore were able to provoke significant tryptase release from human colon mast cells.Chymase inhibitors ZIGPFM,TPCK and ?1-antitrypsin had no stimulatory effect on colon mast cells at both 15 min and 35 min incubation periods.All the chymase inhibitors were able to inhibit anti-IgE induced tryptase release in a concentration dependent manner with a maximum of 37%,40% and 36.6% inhibition being achieved with 1 ?mol/mL of ZIGPFM,80 ?mol/mL of TPCK,30 ?mol/mL of ?1-antitrypsin,respectively.Preincubation of inhibitors of ZIGPFM and TPCK with cells for 20 min at 37℃ before challenging with anti-IgE was able to slightly enhance their inhibitory actions.Amastatin,a specific inhibitor of aminopeptidase,had no effect on anti-IgE induced tryptase release.All the chymase inhibitors were able to inhibit calcium ionophore induced tryptase release,the maximum inhibition were 23%-35.3%.And the extent of inhibition by ZIGPFM was increased when colon mast cells were preincubated for 20 min before calcium ionophore being added.However,the same treament failed to improve the action of TPCK.Conclusion:We found for the first time that inhibitors of chymase were able to inhibit anti-IgE and calcium ionophore induced tryptase release from human colon mast cells,which may indicated a potential of a novel therapy for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease or other mast cell related diseases.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,treatment and prognosis of infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma(IHHE) combined with congestive heart failure(CHF) in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was made with the clinical data from 4 children with IHHE combined with CHF in Department of Pediatric Cardiology,Affiliated Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center of Guangzhou Medical University from May 2013 to December 2015.Results Among 4 infants,there were 3 male and 1 female,mean aged of 109 days (21-219 days),the average weight of 4 350 g (2 750-6 500 g),and 1 case was admitted because of abdominal swelling and respiratory distress,1 case of abdominal swelling,jaundice,shortness of breath admission,1 case of fever and shortness of breath admission,and 1 case of cyanosis and shortness of breath admission.Two patients were associated with hemangioma and Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.Three cases had multiple liver hemangioma scattered in the left lobe and right lobe of the liver,and 1 case had solitary liver hemangioma scattered in the right lobe.Tumor size diameters were ranged from 2-10 mm.Four children had been used Prednisone [1-2 mg/(kg · d)] and Digoxin,Dopamine,Furosemide,Spironolactone.Two cases responsed well to the therapy and were followed up for 2 years or 1 year and 6 months respectively,whose heart size,heart function and pulmonary hypertension became normal.One case with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome responsed poorly to the therapy.Two cases experienced transcatheter hepatic arteriovenous fistula embolization by using coil occlusion of hepatic artery-venous fistula.The postoperative hepatic tumor volume was significantly decreased,and the heart function was improved.One patient was followed up for 1 year and 6 months,and the heart size,pulmonary hypertension and heart function returned to normal.One case was still under follow-up.One case with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome died from heart failure and severe infection before surgery.The mortality rate was 25％ (1/4 cases).Conclusions IHHE is a rare cause of CHF in children.If heart failure is found unexplained in children,abdominal ultrasound or CT examination should be done immediatey in order to confirm the presence or absence of IHHE.The mortality rate in IHHE associated with CHF is very high.Early identification,early intervention,especially Prednisone combined with transcatheter hepatic arteriovenous fistula embolization can significantly improve heart function,reduce the mortality and improve the prognosis of IHHE associated with CHF in children.

Objective:To explore the protective effect of emodin on D-galactosamine (D-GalN)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute liver injury and its mechanism.Methods:A total of 40 male BALB/c mice were randomly (random number) divided into 5 groups ( n=8 in each group): the control group, the emodin group, the D-GalN/LPS group, the emodin+D-GalN/LPS group and the 3-MA+emodin+D-GalN/LPS group. D-GalN (700 mg/kg) and LPS (10 μg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected to induce acute liver injury in mice. Autophagy inhibitor 3-MA (15 mg/kg) and/or emodin (20 mg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected 30 min before the liver injury model. The animals were sacrificed under anaesthesia 6 h after D-GalN/LPS challenge, blood samples and liver tissues were collected. The levels of alanineaminotransferase (ALT) and aspartateaminotransferase (AST) in serum, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity of liver tissues were determined by colorimetric quantitative method; the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by ELISA; the expression of LC3-II and Beclin 1 in the liver tissues were evaluated by Western blot; the pathological changes of liver was evaluated by HE staining. Animal survival rate was also analyzed. The one-way ANOVA was use to compare quantitative data, SNK- q test was used for pairwise comparison between two groups, and Games-Howell test was used when homogeneity of variance were not met. Results:Compared with the control group, the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-6 and MPO activity [(2 476.80 ± 263.14) U/L, (271.71 ± 47.15) U/L, (537.92 ± 89.35) pg/mL, (169.74 ± 25.52) pg/mL, and (1.37 ± 0.22) U/mg] were obviously increased in the D-GalN/LPS group ( P<0.05). Compared with the D-GalN/LPS group, the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-6 and MPO activity [(1 248.01 ± 380.70) U/L, (142.59 ± 34.63) U/L, (288.91 ± 67.21) pg/mL, (61.83 ± 13.64) pg/mL, and (0.80 ± 0.21) U/mg] were obviously decreased in the emodin+ D-GalN/LPS group ( P<0.05). Compared with the D-GalN/LPS group, the histopathological abnormalities in liver tissue were significantly alleviated and the survival rate of mice was improved in the emodin+ D-GalN/LPS group. Compared with the control group, the expression of LC3-II and Beclin1 was decreased in the liver tissue in the D-GalN/LPS group, while compared with the D-GalN/LPS group, the expression of LC3-II and Beclin1 was increased in the emodin+ D-GalN/LPS group. With co-administration of 3-MA, the protective effects of emodin in acute liver injury were reversed, the levels of AST, ALT, TNF-α, IL-6, and MPO [(2 398.78 ± 233.57) U/L, (242.79 ± 43.46) U/L, (505.07 ± 67.89) pg/mL, (151.46 ± 14.11) pg/mL, and (1.27 ± 0.15) U/mg] were increased, and the pathological damage of liver tissue was aggravated. Conclusions:Emodin alleviates D-GalN/LPS-induced acute liver injury in mice, which may be related to the activation of protein LC3-II, Beclin1 and restored autophagy.

Objective The aim of the experiment is to make an intracranial aneurysm model in canine.Methods A digital tube was made based on raw magnetic resonance images of the human intracraaial carotid artery.Then 6 tubes were made in the 3 D rapid prototyping machine and coated with silicone.Finally we isolated the common carotid arteries of 6 canines and made them go through the tubes and anastomosed them end-to-side to get the aneurysm model.Six stents were implanted after one week.Results Six aneurysm models were successfully made in canines.The parent artery had similar geometrv of the human carotid siphon.All the aneurysms and parent arteries were patent in one week's follow-up.One canine died of excessive anesthesia after stentingr Two vaseular models kept patent in one month without stenosis.The other 3 had some stenosis on the bends of the vessel.Conclusions The aneurysm model in tIle experiment has high flexibility and reliability.The model provides an effective tool for research and testing neurovascular devices.It's also a useful device to train the neuroradiologists and interventional physicians.
