Objective To preliminarily discuss the technical points and clinical efficacy of the pressure cooker technique (PCT)for embolization of intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Methods From April 2015 to May 2015,7 patients with AVM were treated at the Department of Neurosurgery, Shanghai Deji Hospital. The AVMs of 2 patients were embolized with PCT. (both were Spetzler-Martin gradeⅡ). A sonic and an echelon microcatheter were implanted side by side into the same blood supply artery of an AVM. A coil + α-isobutyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA)plug was formed between the sonic microcatheter tip and the detachable point through the echelon microcatheter in order to prevent Onyx reflux when the glue was injected into a nidus via a sonic microcatheter,achieving the embolization effect of sustained,rapid and high efficient. Results Two patients achieved complete embolization immediately. The symptoms of the patients improved or disappeared within 1 month. The whole brain DSA showed the AVM of one patient did not have recurrence at 4 month after embolization. Two patients did not have any complications or sequelae at the follow-up study. Conclusion PCT can improve the efficiency of embolization. It is suitable for small, medium,superficial,non-major functional area,less feeding artery AVMs,and AVMs with less blood flow in nidus. Its safety and clinical effect still need to be observed with more samples.

Objective To investigate levels of IL-17 and IL-22 mRNA in the blood of type 2 diabetes(T2DM)patients with the different stages of kidney injury and explore the relationship between the gene expression levels of IL-17,IL-22 and renal lesions in patients with diabetic nephropathy(DM).Methods Subjects included 60 T2DM patients with or without kidney injury and 20 normal controls(NC,n=20).Diabetes patients were divided into 3 groups by level of urinary albumin to creati-nine ratio (ACR):no proteinuria group (NA,ACR<30 mg/g,n=22),microalb uminuria group (MA,30 mg/g>ACR>300 mg/g,n=18)and diabetic nephropathy group (DN,ACR>300 mg/g,n=20).Quantitative Real-Time RT-PCR was used to detect IL-17 and IL-22 mRNA levels.Analysis differences of IL-17 and IL-22 mRNA levels among NA,MA,DN and NC groups.Results The levels of IL-17 and IL-22 mRNA were significantly higher in DN group than that in MA,NA and NC group (P <0.01,respectively),However,there were not significant difference among MA,NA and NC group (P >0.05,re-spectively).Conclusion Levels IL-17 and IL-22 mRNA were increased in blood of T2DM patients with nephropathy.IL-17 and IL-22 may play role in the pathogenicity of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To explore the effect of dendritic cells (DC) primed by total RNA extracted from human colon cancer Lovo cell on specific cytotoxicity of cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) in vitro.Methods Cord blood mononuclear cells extracted by Ficoll density gradient centrifuge were induced into CIK and DC cells separately, and their Immunophenotype was detected by Flow cytometer. Trizol harvested total RNA from colon cancer cell Lovo and the RNAs were loaded to DCs obtained from cord blood as tumor anti gens. Effectors were grouped accordingly as CIK cells co-cultured with DCs transfected with Lovo RNA, CIK cells co- cultured with unloaded DCs and CIK cells. Targets was Lovo cells. In vitro cytotoxicity of CHK cells was extured with DCs loaded with Lovo RNA(76.49%±4.21%), DC + CIK group was lower(53.84% ± 2.15%),and CIK cells group possessed the lowest cytotoxicity(32.20% ± 3.07%), showing statistic significance( P ＜0.05). Conclusion Extraction of total RNA from tumor cells is simple and easy for clinical implementation.Total RNAs acted as antigen to pulse DCs can strengthen the specific cytotoxicity of CIK cells, which will have good prospects for clinical application.

Objective:To explore the early coagulation function changes of penetrating intestinal firearm injury of pig in high-altitude environments.Methods:Twenty healthy long white piglets were selected and divided into the plain group and the high-altitude group using the random number table method, with 10 pigs in each group. Pigs in the plain group were placed in a plain environment at an altitude of 800 meters, while pigs in the high-altitude group were placed in an experimental chamber simulating an altitude of 6 000 meters for 48 hours. Both groups received pistol gunshot to have firearm penetrating wounds to the abdominal intestinal tract and then returned to the plain observation room. At 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury, coagulation in the peripheral blood and fibrinolytic indexes [prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (Fbg), D-dimer (D-D), and fibrinogen degradation product (FDP)], thromboelastogram (TEG) [reaction time (R), clotting time (K), clot formation rate (α), maximum amplitude (MA) and coagulation composite index (CI) ], platelet parameters [platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR)] in the two groups were detected separately.Results:The PT values at 0 and 2 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly lower than those in the plain group, while they were significantly higher at 8, 12 and 24 hours than those in the plain group ( P<0.01); there was no significant difference at 4 hours between the two groups ( P>0.05). The APTT values at 0, 2 and 4 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly lower than those in the plain group, while they were significantly higher at 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The TT values at 0, 2 and 4 hours after the injury in the high-altitude group were significantly lower than those in the plain group, while they were significantly higher at 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01); there was no significant difference at 8 hours after injury between the two groups ( P>0.05). The Fbg, D-D and FDP values at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury were higher in the high-altitude group than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The R values at 0, 2 and 4 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly lower than those in the plain group, while they were significantly higher at 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The K values at 0, 2, 4 and 8 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly lower than those in the plain group, while they were significantly higher at 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The α angles at 0, 2 and 4 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group, while they were significantly lower at 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The MA values at 0, 2 and 4 hours after the injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group, while they were significantly lower at 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The CI values at 0, 2 and 4 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group, while they were significantly lower at 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The PLT values at 0, 2, 4 and 8 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group, while they were significantly lower at 12 and 24 hours after injury than those in the plain group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The MPV values at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). The PDW values at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were significantly higher than those in the plain group ( P<0.05 or 0.01), while there was no significant difference in PDW at 0 hour after injury between the two groups ( P>0.05). The P-LCR values at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours after injury in the high-altitude group were all significantly higher than those in the plain group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Compared with the plain environments, pig intestinal firearm penetrating injury in the high-altitude environments is more prone to early hypercoagulable state accompanied by mild hyperfibrinolysis, and faster to reach a hypocoagulable state accompanied by obvious hyperfibrinolysis.
