Objective To study the practical value of preoperative selective intra-arterial embolization in the surgical treatment of nasopharyngeal fibroangioma. Methods Digital subtraction angiogrophy(DSA) and selective arterial embolization were carried out in 15 cases of nasopharyngeal fibroangioma. The supplying arteries originated from the maxillary and the pharyngeal ascending branches arising from external carotid artery were embolized with gelatin sponge. Results 15 cases underwent operation after selective embolization of blood supplying arteries and the amount of bleeding in operation was thus reduced greatly in 13 cases, while the blood loss during the surgery of another 2 cases was still considerable because both external carotid artery and internal carotid artery supplied the tumor with only embolization of the external carotid artery. Optimum time for the operation was taken on 2-5 days after the embolization. Conclusions Preoperative intra-arteral embolization for nasopharyngeal fibroangioma is a valuable method of choice for the clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect and to summarize the experience of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of spleen together with splenic artery balloon block in treating hypersplenism due to cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Methods Under the situation of splenic artery occlusion with balloon, RFA of the spleen was performed in 15 patients with hypersplenism caused by cirrhosis and portal hypertension. The mean duration of RFA was (46.4±5.4) min. Routine blood tests were conducted at 3 days, one week, one, 3 and 6 months after the treatment, and abdominal CT angiography was performed one month after RFA. The results were analyzed. Results One patient developed massive bloody pleural effusion at left thorax three days after RFA, which was improved after hemostasis and thoracic drainage. No severe complications occurred in other patients. Abdominal CT angiography performed one month after RFA showed that the ablated extent by RFA was accounted for about 34.3%-71.8% proportion of the spleen, with a mean of (56.20 ±13.09)%. Preoperative blood tests indicated that the count of white blood cells, red blood corpuscles and blood platelets was (3.88±1.75)×109/L, (4.06±0.37) × 1012/L and (48.14± 11.33)×109/L, respectively. One month after RFA the count of white blood cells and blood platelets increased to (5.62±1.61) ×109/L and (132.29±33.20) ×109/L respectively. When compared with the preoperative data, the differences in the count of white blood cells and blood platelets were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of hypersplenism due to cirrhosis and portal hypertension, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of spleen together with splenic artery balloon block is quite safe and this technique has satisfactory short-term effect.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of 0.1% mometasone furoate cream in the topical treatment of eczematous dermatoses including neurodermatitis and eczema. Methods A randomized double-blind parallel controlled clinical trial was conducted. The home made mometasone furoate cream or imported Eloson cream was topically used in patients with such dermatoses once daily for 4 weeks, respectively. Symptom/sign scores were evaluated at the beginning of the treatment and at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th week after the initiation of the treatment. Results Two hundred and eighty-four patients were enrolled in the trial, including 143 patients with eczema and 141 patients with neurodermatitis. There are 142 patients each in test group and control group separately. All symptom/sign scores and total scores were significantly decreased 1, 2, 3, and 4 week after the treatment. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups. The cure rate and improvement rate in eczema patients were 78.87% and 97.18% in the test group; 84.51% and 92.96% in the control group; respectively. While the cure rate and improvement rate in neurodermatitis patients were 75.71% and 100% in the test group; 80.28% and 94.37% in the control group; respectively. The cure rate and improvement rate of total patients were 77.30% and 98.58% in the test group; 82.39% and 93.64% in the control group; respectively. No statistically significant difference in efficacy was observed between the two groups. There was no severe side effect in the two groups. One patient had mild contact dermatitis in the test group. Conclusions These results suggest that 0.1% mometasone furoate cream is an effective and safe drug in the treatment of neurodermatitis and eczema.

Objective To explore the clinical efficiency and safety of radiofrequency ablation combined with Tegafur,Gimeracil and Oteracil Porassium Capsules( S-1 capsules) for hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Sixty HCC patients included in this study were underwent initial radiofrequency ablation and then they were di-vided into RFA+S-1 group and RFA control group according to the metronomic chemotherapy either with S-1 or not.The local tumor control and disease free survival outcome between the two groups were compared.Results Follow-up observation showed that the total control rate after 9 months′treatment was 93.3%in RFA+S-1 group vs.73.4%in RFA control group(P=0.038).During the 18 months of follow up,the median time for dis-ease free survival was 16.25 months in RFA+S-1 group vs.12.25 months in RFA control group( P<0.001) . One-year progression free survival rate in RFA group was 53.3%,which was significantly lower than the RFA+S-1 group(83.3%)(P=0.012).The major complication rate was 13.3%.No procedu rerelated death or severe complications occurred.Conclusion Metronomic chemotherapy with S-1 following initial radiofrequency ablation delays tumor progression and prolongs overall survival of patients with HCC tumors.

Objective To investigate the changes in the serum level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in experimental Wistar rats with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) after hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of bevacizumab treatment, and to discuss the efficacy of HAI of bevacizumab for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. Methods Forty Wistar rats with successfully established HAE were randomly and equally divided into two groups with 20 rats in each group: the control group and the study group. Hepatic arterial infusion of saline was performed in the rats of the control group , while hepatic arterial infusion of bevacizumab was carried out in the rats of the study group. Before and 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after the treatment peripheral blood samples were collected from the tail vein, and the serum levels of VEGF, apartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were determined by the quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All the rats were sacrificed 28 days after the treatment. HAE samples were examined to evaluate the effect of bevacizumab on HAE lesions. Results Seven days after hepatic arterial infusion of bevacizumab, serum VEGF expression level in the study group became gradually decreased, and the difference was statistically significant when compared with the preoperative level or with that in the control group (P = 0.019). Fourteen days after the treatment, the serum VEGF expression level kept going down to its lowest point, and the difference in serum VEGF expression level was statistically significant when compared with the preoperative level (P < 0.01). Twenty-one days after the treatment, serum VEGF expression level started to rise and it returned to normal level in 28 days after the treatment. In the control group no significant changes in serum VEGF expression levels was observed after hepatic arterial injection of saline (P > 0.05). Conclusion In treating hepatic alveolar echinococcosis, hepatic arterial infusion of bevacizumab has certain inhibitory effect on angiogenesis. This therapy is safe and effective.

OBJECTIVETo examine the associations of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value from MR diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with Ki-67 expression and differentiation grade in gastric cancer.

METHODSImages and pathologic data of 68 gastric cancer patients between September 2013 and February 2015 in Affiliated Changshu Hospital of Soochow University were analyzed retrospectively. The expression of Ki-67 antigen in cancer tissue sample was determined by immunohistochemistry. Ki-67 labeling index(LI) was calculated to divide the cases into low Ki-67 group(Ki-67 LI <50%) and high Ki-67 group (Ki-67 LI ≥ 50%). Associations of ADC value with differentiation grade and Ki-67 LI were examined.

RESULTSMean ADC value of low Ki-67 LI group was significantly higher than that of high Ki-67 LI group [(0.977 ± 0.100) × 10(-3) mm(2)/s vs. (0.859 ± 0.064) × 10(-3) mm(2)/s, P=0.000]. The ADC value was negatively correlated with Ki-67 LI (r=-0.685, P=0.000). Mean ADC value of well differentiated adenocarcinoma, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and signet-ring cell carcinoma was (1.124 ± 0.080) × 10(-3) mm(2)/s, (0.950 ± 0.064) × 10(-3) mm(2)/s, (0.899 ± 0.091) × 10(-3) mm(2)/s, and (0.894 ± 0.081) × 10(-3) mm(2)/s respectively. Difference of ADC value among differentiation grades was significantly different (F=11.405, P=0.000). Difference of ADC value between well differentiated adenocarcinoma and non-well differentiated adenocarcinoma was significantly different(P=0.000).

CONCLUSIONADC value is associated with differentiation grade and Ki-67 LI of gastric cancer, which may be used as a noninvasive predictor for evaluating the proliferation and differentiation grade of gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE To stud y the chemical cons tituents of n-butanol part of Qubai tablet and its pharmacodynamic effect on the model of de melanocyte. METHODS The n-butanol part of Qubai tablet was prepared. The chemical constituents were analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS）. Taking mice B 16 melanoma cells as the research object ，the de melanocyte model was established and divided into model group ，positive control different concentration groups（8-methoxypsoralen 10，50，100，150，200 μmol/L），solvent group （diluted with DMSO ）and Qubai tablet n-butanol part different concentration groups （10，50，100，150，200 μmol/L）.
