Objective To investigate the effect of parent artery occlusion with liquid embolic agents (Onyx)for the treatment of distal intracranial aneurysms. Methods The clinical data of 27 patients with 29 ruptured distal intracranial aneurysms were analyzed retrospectively.Seventeen aneurysms located in the posterior inferior cerebellar artery,3 in the anterior inferior cerebellar artery,2 in the superior cerebellar artery,2 in the posterior cerebral artery,1 in the anterior cerebral artery,and 4 in the middle cerebral artery.Twenty-eight aneurysms were treated with Onyx to occlude proximal parent arteries and aneurysms, and 1 distal middle cerebral artery aneurysm was occluded spontaneously. Results All the aneurysms treated were occluded completely.One patient died of intraoperative hemorrhage.The remaining patients were followed up for 8 to 67 months.The final Glasgow outcome scale (GOS)scores were 5 in 23 patients and 4 in 3 patients. 17 patients were followed up with digital subtraction angiography (DSA)and 5 were followed up with computed tomography angiography (CTA)after procedure.There was no recurrence of the aneurysm. Four patients were followed up clinically.No new neurological disturbance or rebleeding was found in all the survived patients. Conclusion Medium-long term follow-up results have shown that the clinical efficacy of proximal parent artery occlusion with Onyx for the treatment of distal intracranial aneurysms is satisfactory,and the recurrence rate is low.

Objective This study was focused on the association between neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM).Methods Thirty six patients who satisfied the Bohan & Peter criteria for DM were recruited to this study,among whom 19 were complicated with ILD.Forty seven age and sex matched healthy Chinese volunteers were selected to be control subjects.The plasma samples of these patients were tested for the formation and degradation of NETs.Results DM plasma induced more NETs formation than control plasma did [(246±93) RFUs vs (192±53) RFUs,P=0.002].Compared to control,DM plasma exhibited a signficantry decreased ability to degrade NETs.Further mere,compared with DM patients without ILD (DMNL),DM patients with ILD (DML) could not degrade NETs completely [(83±13)% vs (59±21)%,P<0.01].All four DM patients with subacute ILD exhibited a significantly lower ability to degrade NETs than patients with chronic or asymptomatic ILD [(36±14)% vs (65±19)%,P=0.0139].Conclusion These data show that more NETs formation is induced by plasma and DML fails to completely degrade NETs.These suggest that NETs may play a role in the pathogenesis of DM and DM-associated ILD.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular embolization for the treatment of middle cerebral artery aneurysms. Methods From March 2007 to May 2015,the clinical data of 170 patients with 173 middle cerebral artery aneurysms treated with endovascular embolization at the Department of Neurosurgery,Nanjing Jinling Hospital were analyzed retrospectively,including 120 (69.4%)ruptured aneurysms and 53 (30. 6%)unruptured aneurysms. The incidence of complications and prognosis were compared between the 2 groups. Results (1)A total of 170 patients who could perform endovascular embolization after preoperative evaluation successfully completed the interventional procedure. None of the patients died. (2)18 patients (10. 6%)had intraoperative and postoperative complications,including 4 (7. 5%,4/53)in the unruptured aneurysm group and 14 (11. 7%,14/120)in the ruptured aneurysm group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups. (3)101 patients were followed up for 3-48 months. No new nervous system symptoms and reruptured aneurysm were observed. One patient had recurrence in the unruptured aneurysm group and 4 had recurrence in the ruptured aneurysm group. Conclusion Endovascular treatment of middle cerebral artery aneurysms is a safe,effective,and feasible technique.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) and the first-phase of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic β cell under different glucose tolerance statuses. Methods Fifty-six patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM group), 52 patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT group), and 42 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT group) underwent intravenous glucose tolerance test. Fasting serum SFRP4 and interleukin ( IL)-1β were assayed by ELISA. Acute insulin response ( AIR), the area under the curve of the first-phase (0-10 min) insulin secretion (AUC), glucose disposition index(GDI), homeostasis model assessment for β cell function index(HOMA-β), and insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) were calculated. Results (1) The levels of SFRP4 and IL-1β in T2DM group and IGT group were significantly higher than that in NGT group [(184. 38 ± 61. 34 or 141. 64 ± 40. 46 or 95. 46 ± 20. 13)ng/ ml, P<0. 01]. AIR, AUC, and GDI in T2DM group and IGT group were significantly lower than those in NGT group(P<0. 01), and these results were more significantly reduced in T2DM group compared with those in IGT group. (2) SFRP4 was negatively correlated with AIR, AUC, GDI, HOMA-β (P<0. 01), and positively correlated with fasting plasma glucose, 2 h plasma glucose after glucose loading, HbA1C , IL-1β, and high sensitive C-reactive protein(P<0. 01). (3) Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that AUC, HOMA-IR, and serum IL-1β level were independently associated with SFRP4. Conclusion The concentration of serum SFRP4 is closely correlated with the glycolipid metabolic disorder, the first-phase of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and chronic low-grade inflammation. SFRP4 may be involved in the mechanism of β cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
