This paper reported that bronchial artery embolization(BAE)had been used to treat 35 non tumorous patients who suffered from recurrent hemoptysis or acute severe hemoptysis after the given medical treatment was proved uneffective in 35 patients,7 patients had recurrent hemoptysis during 1.5～19 months postoperatively and were treated by BAE again,and there was no recurrence of hemoptysis during 7～34 months follow-up.Therefore, the authors considered that repeated BAE was still effective in treating recurrent hemoptysis.

Objective To study the effect of new type antiseptic gallium nitrate on the clearance of Staphylococcus aureus (S .aureus)biofilm,and explore new methods for suppressing bacterial biofilm formation.Methods Biofilm positive strains were screened among 14 clinically isolated S .aureus strains by crystal violet staining method,mini-mal inhibitory concentration (MIC)of gallium nitrate for biofilm positive strains and effect of gallium nitrate on the clearance of biofilm were measured.Results Of 14 S .aureus isolates,9 were biofilm positive strains;gallium ni-trate MICs for S .aureus ATCC 25923,biofilm-negative strain,and 9 biofilm positive strains were all 16 μg/mL;the clearance rate of gallium nitrate for early biofilm of S .aureus was significantly higher than mature biofilm ([86.53±0.96]% vs [62.54±1 .53]%,t=35.699,P <0.001 ).Conclusion Gallium nitrate can inhibit growth of S .aureus strains and clear biofilm,it can be applied in the prevention and control of S .aureus infection.

Objective To investigate the effect of ondansetron on the development of neuropathic pain in rats following chronic constriction injury (CCI) on sciatic nerve. Methods This research consisted of 3 parts. ①A single bolus of ondansetron was given intraperitoneally 2 h before nerve injury; ②A single bolus of ondansetron was given intraperitoneally on the 7th day after nerve injury; ③Continuous administration of ondansetron was given daily for 35 d; In each part, male SD rats were randomly divided into ondansetron group (0.5, 2, 8 mg/kg), saline group and sham operated group. The paw withdrawal response to thermal stimulation was tested throughout the 35 d following nerve injury. Results Ondansetron administration before nerve injury had no effect on thermal pain threshold in rats of experimental neuropathic pain. ondansetron administration on the 7th day after nerve injury attenuated the descending of thermal pain threshold but did not alter its descending trend in subsequent time period. Daily administration of ondansetron for 35 d attenuated and further delayed the descending of thermal pain threshold significantly in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Continuous administration of ondansetron can prevent or at least delay the descending of thermal pain threshold of rats with experimental neuropathic pain after constriction injury.

Objective To assess the changes of coagulation and fibinolysis in patients undergoing thoracotomy. Methods Forty patients undergoing thoracotomy were enrolled into this trial. The venous blood were collected for normal coagulable function test at the following time points: before surgery, at 3 h after the beginning of surgery, at 1 d and 3 d after surgery. Results PT, APTT levels had no obvious change. Compared with before and during surgery, FG levels decreased obviously at 1 d and 3 d after surgery. TEG showed the value of R and K increased during and after surgery and value of MA decreased during and 1 d after surgery, but they had no significance in statistics. CI decreased significantly during and after surgery as compared with before surgery(P
