Objective To investigate the value of prevention of cerebral ischemia with multi-modality neuroelectrophysiological monitoring in intracranial aneurysm embolization. Methods The clinical data of 44 patients with intracranial aneurysm treated with endovascular embolization from May 2013 to June 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they used intraoperative neuroelectrophysiological monitoring. There were 21 patients in a monitoring group and 21 in a non-monitoring group. According to the site of the aneurysms,somatosensory evoked potential ( SEP),motion evoked potential( MEP),scalp electroencephalogram,and brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP)were monitored,and at one day after procedure,their newly developed neurological deficits and the follow up observation after 3 months in both groups were compared and analyzed. Results The intraoperative SEP,MEP,and scalp EEG changes in the monitoring group were observed in 9,3 and 4 patients,respectively. Timely preventive measures were taken for 9 of the patients with cerebral ischemia revealed by neuroelectro-physiological monitoring. At the first day after procedure,the incidence of patients with new neurological deficit was 17. 4%(4/23)in the monitoring group,and that was 47. 6%(10/21)in the non-monitoring group. There was significant difference between the 2 groups(χ2 =4. 623;P<0. 05). There was significant difference in the good prognosis rates(87. 0%[20/23]vs. 57. 1%[12/21])after 3-month follow-up (χ2 =4. 919;P<0. 05)between the 2 groups. There were no deaths in both groups. Conclusion Multimode in combination with neuroelectrophysiological monitoring may decrease ischemic complications in aneurysm interventional treatment and improve the safety of procedure.

Objective To explore the protocol of tissue matching and anti-rejection therapy in highly sensitized patients (HSP). Method The panel reactive antibody (PRA), human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching and renal transplantation outcomes of 45 HSPs were retrospectively analyzed. Results Hyperacute rejection occurred in 2 patients. Acute rejection occurred in 9 patients and reversed by anti-rejection therapy. One year patient/graft survival rate was 95.6% / 91.1% respectively. Conclusions To avoid specific antibody through HLA matching is the key point for successful renal transplantation of HSP. Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) induction therapy combined with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil therapy can decrease the rate of acute rejection and prolong graft survival.

Objective To explore the feasibility and efficacy of desensitization protocol for highly sensitized renal transplant patients (HSP). Methods Thirty-five HSPs ( HLA class-Ⅰ panel reactive antibody >50 %), including 27 patients with a positive T and/or B cell cytotoxicity crossmatch (XM) and 8 patients with a negative T and B cell XM, received plasmapheresis plus intravenous immunoglobulin (PP-IVIG)treatment. Results The positive XM was rendered negative by PP-IVIG treatment in 25 of 27 (92.6 %)HSPs, and subsequent transplantation was performed. Two patients did not receive renal transplants due to persistent positive XM. In 25 patients receiving renal transplants, no hyperacute rejection occurred. There were 8 cases of acute rejection, including 5 cases of acute humoral rejection (AHR). All rejection episodes were reversed. During a follow-up period of 52 ± 26 months, the serum creatinine levels at 12th and 24th month were 112± 18 and 130 ± 38 mol/L respectively. The 1- and 3-year graft survival rate was 96. 0 %and 80. 0 % respectively. Conclusion The desensitization therapy by PP-IVIG is effective for HSP. High rate of AHR is the major defect of this protocol. The short-term graft survival rate after this protocol is acceptable but the long-term survival rate needs to be defined.

Objective To study the relationship between neurodevelopment and early nutritional status of very low birth weight(VLBW)infants in NICU.Methods VLBW infants admitted to NICU of our hospital from January 2013 to December 2014 and received regular follow-up management at our high-risk infant outpatient clinic were retrospectively studied. All infantsˊdevelopmental quotient ( DQ) were evaluated at 3 months of corrected gestational age ( cGA) . DQ ≥130 was defined as excellent, 115-129 above medium, 85-114 medium, 70 -84 below medium and ≤69 abnormal. According to their DQ scores, infants were assigned into two groups, normal neurodevelopment group ( DQ≥85 ) and abnormal neurodevelopment group ( DQ<85 ) . Nutritional status during hospitalization between the two groups were compared.Results A total of 125 VLBW infants were recruited.At three months of cGA, 2 cases ( 1. 6℅) had excellent DQ score; 3 ( 2. 4℅) above medium; 63 ( 50. 4℅) medium;57 (45. 6℅) below medium. 68 cases (54. 4℅) in the normal development group and 57 (45. 6℅) in the abnormal group. The total energy intake, the proportion of enteral energy supply on 4 d, 7 d, 14 d after birth and amino acid supply on 4 d, 7 d were significantly higher in the normal neurodevelopment group than the abnormal group (P<0. 05). Comparing with the abnormal group, weight loss of VLBW infants in the normal neurodevelopment group was less; the time needed to reach birth weight and exclusive enteral nutrition in the normal neurodevelopment group was shorter. The differences were statistically significant between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusions VLBW infantsˊearly nutritional status may influence their neurodevelopmental outcome.
