Objective To introduce and evaluate the methods of ultrasound-guided compression repair (UGCR) or ultrasound-guided compression-puncture hematocele repair (UGCPHR) in treatment of post-catheterization femoral arterial pseudoaneurysms. Methods Two patients with femoral arterial pseudoaneurysms (3.0 cm?3.0 cm) were treated with UGCPHR, a 18-gauge blunt needle self-retrained with a syringe was placed into the pseudoaneurysm flow lumen along the primary cleft, to compress this site to cut-out continuously the blood flow into the lumen, then to draw all the hemocele out with the syringe, to slowly decompress after continuing the compression for 20-30 minutes, and to repeat this procedure if blood flow signals still existed. Results All the five cases were treated successfully, without large hardening nodules. Four cases were treated successfully at one time, one case was successfully with UGCPHR after failure with UGCR. Conclusion For the treatment of post-catherization femoral arterial pseudoaneurysms, UGCR or UGCPHR depending on the size of pseudoaneurysms is effective, safe and technically simple, without local largely hardening nodules formation in post-repair or any effects on interventional diagnosis and treatment in short periods along the same passway.

Abstract: Objective To report a case of suppurative knee arthritis caused by Pasteurella multocida and review relevant literature to improve the awareness of the clinical physicians regarding this bacterium and provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods A case of right knee suppurative arthritis caused by Pasteurella multocida was retrospectively reported and relevant literatures were reviewed in this article. Results The infected person was a 76-year-old female patient with a 5-year history of intermittent pain in his right knee and suffered from joint swelling, aggravation pain, and limited flexion and extension activities after intraarticular injection of sodium hyaluronate. After admission and completing all necessary tests, the patient was later confirmed to have been infected with Pasteurella multocida. The patient's right knee was promptly examined and cleared under arthroscopic surgery, synovium and meniscus were excised, a drainage tube was inserted, and continuous joint cavity irrigation was performed after the surgery, and then ceftriaxone was injected and amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium was taken orally for anti-infection and the patient's condition improved significantly after 26 days. Conclusions Pasteurella multocida infection cases are relatively rare, but the consequences in high-risk groups are relatively serious. Therefore, awareness of Pasteurella multocida and infection caused by it should be improved and high-risk groups should try to avoid contact with infectious sources as well as strengthen the management of pets so as to avoid infection.

Objective To observe the influence of recombinant human thyrotropin(rhTSH)on serum concentration of endogenous thyrotropin(TSH), free triiodothyronine(FT3), free thyroxine(FT4), thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb), and thyroglobulin(Tg). To evaluate the efficacy of rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma(DTC). Methods The study recruitment took place between November 2007 and March 2009. 62 patients(including 45 females)with biopsy confirmed DTC had undergone total or nearly total thyroidectomy, and received 131I treatment. 31 patients(including 22 females), median age of 45 years(23-72), received radioiodine treatment 4 weeks after L-thyroxine(T4)withdrawal. The other 31 patients(including 23 females), median age of 44 years(14-70), underwent rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment. Before and after rhTSH injection, serum TSH, FT3, FT4, TGAb, and thyroglobulin were tested. Post-radiotherapy whole body scan was performed 5 to 7 days after radioiodine treatment and qualitatively and blindly evaluated by two nuclear medicine physicians. Follow-up took place 6 to 12 months after radioiodine treatment. The efficacy of rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment was evaluated by whole body scan with diagnostic dose radioiodine. SPSS 13.0 statistical software was applied. Results (1)Before and after rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment, the serum TSH was(1.08±4.01)vs(140.26±27.20)mIU/L(P<0.05), thyroglobulin(23.75±132.92)vs(169.58±178.49)μg/L(P<0.05), FT3(4.52±1.16)vs(4.42±1.11)pmol/L(P>0.05), and FT4(15.09±5.83)vs(13.66±5.85)pmol/L(P>0.05),respectively.(2)rhTSH-aided radioiodine ablation treatment had the same effect as L-T4withdrawal aided. The complete response ratio was 77.4% vs 71.0%(P>0.05)by radioiodine whole body scan of diagnostic dose. Conclusion rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment of DTC was effective and safe, and did at least at equivalent degree as did L-T4withdrawal. Furthermore, Serum thyroglobulin level could be effectively stimulated by rhTSH with tumor relapse or metastasis.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of gabapentin on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic neuropathic pain in rats.Methods Male SD rats aged 6 weeks weighing 180-200 g were used in this study. Diabetes ntellitus ( DM) was induced by intraperitoneal STZ 60 mg/kg and confirmed one week later by blood glucose =16.7 mmol/L before breakfast. The DM rats were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 6 each) : gabapentin groups received intraperitoneal gabapentin 30, 60 and 120 mg/kg twice a day (at 9:00 am and 3:00 pm) for 3 weeks respectively and control group received intraperitoneal normal saline 0.6 ml instead of gabapentin. The paw withdrawal threshold to von Frey filament stimulation was measured before and at 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 min after first gabapentin injection and once a week for 3 weeks. Results After gabapentin 60 and 120 mg/kg, the paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimuli was significantly increased and lasted for about 4 h. The analgesic effect peaked at 60 min after IP gabapentin injection. Normal saline and gabapentin 30 mg/kg had no significant analgesic effect. The degree of analgesia was significantly decreased at day 14 and 21 of treatment with gabapentin 60 and 120 mg/kg as compared with that at 60 min after gabapentin injection. Conclusion The hyperalgesia and allodynia in rats with diabetes mellitus can be effectively reversed by gabapentin 60 and 120 mg/kg,while long-term use of gabapentin can induce drug tolerance.
