OBJECTIVE: To investigate clinical application of endovascular stents, to evaluate materials performance, and to study in-stent restenosis.METHODS: A computer-based online search was conducted in CNKI and Medline database with the key words of "endovascular stent, materials, application'' in both Chinese and English from 1960 to 2009. Among 67 articles, 31 references were included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the included references were summarized based on application range of endovascular stent, stent materials, in-stent restenosis so as to investigate clinical application and performance of endovascular stent.RESULTS: Endovascular stent had been widely used to treat coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, intracranial aneurysm, symptomatic or non-symptomatic ischemic cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral angiopathy. Varying endovascular stent materials, such as metal, tissue-engineered, and drug-coating had remarkably therapeutic effect; in particular, biocompatibility and blood compatibility of drug-coating stent were superior to those of others. With the functional development of endovascular stent, more and more stents will be used for clinical therapy; however, restenosis and immunological rejection still remain unsolved.CONCLUSION: Endovascular stent has been widely used to treat varying cardio-cerebrovascular disease. Biocompatibility of drug-coating stent is superior to that of other stent materials. Endovascular stent with a great biocompatibility or Probucol-coating stent may reduce the incidence of restenosis.

This paper also intruduced the virtues and defects of these materials,illustrated the questions would be disolved and developing trends on bone tissue engineering scalfold materials in the future.

ObjectiveTo discuss neonatal hypoxic-ischemie eneephalopathy points,and the vesting of the re- lationship between the prognosis and current treatment methods. MethodsFrom January 2004 to April 2008, pedi-atric hospital treated 88 cases of HIE were assessed, inspected, grading and treated. Results8 cases in the 88 easesantomatically discharged, 51 patients (63.8 %) were recovered and 28 patients (35.0 %) improved, and 1 patient(1.3 %) died. HIE clinical severity has close relationship with prognosis. Mild and moderate cases were 78.4 % (29/37) ,53.7% (22/41) were recovered and no deaths, and severe 1 case, 1 death. ConchtsionHIE clinical severityand prognosis have close relationship, the time of birth asphyxia situation on the vesting of infants discharged andwas no significant impact.

Objective To evlauate the effect of pulmicort respule combined with solution salbutamoI aerosol on the treatment of bronehiolitis.Methods 65 cases of bronchioiltis were randomly divided into two groups.solution saltutamol inhalation group or pulmicort respule combined with solution salbutamoI group,the time of easing asthma symtpoms was assessed.Results Therapeutic group cure rate is higher than the control group(87.9%/62.5%,P＜0.01),there is significant difference.Observation group duration of symptoms was significantly shorter than the oontrol group(P＜0.01),the difference is significant.Condmlon Pulmicort respule combined with solution salbutamol has significant therapeutic effect on the treatment of bronchiolitks,there are obvious advantages.

Radiotherapy (RT) is the primary treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In order to achieve tumor control, nearby normal brain tissues, especially the temporal lobes, often receive unnecessary radiation. Patients with NPC treated by RT may occur cognitive impairments, which significantly compromises the quality of life. The symptoms of cognitive dysfunction induced by RT in NPC patients can exhibit at the early or later stage after RT, which may be related to temporal lobe injury or brain damage induced by radiation. However, the relationship between the cognitive declines induced by RT and the radiation dose or volume of the temporal lobe (or the dosimetry to treat NPC) has not yet been definitively established, and few reports have focused on cognitive impairment following intensity modulated RT. Therefore, this paper will review the progress in radiation-induced cognitive decline of NPC patients in order to provide the basis for preventing side effects of RT and improving the quality of life after RT.

Objective To investigate the effects of ketamine on endotexin-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines(IL-6, TNF-?) and activation of their medulating factor NF-?B in vivo. Methods Forty adult male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: (Ⅰ)control group(n=10); (Ⅱ) endotoxin group received intravenous endotoxin(Escherichia coli O111: B4, Sigma) 5 mg?kg~(-1)(n=10); (Ⅲ, Ⅳ)endotexin+ketamine group received ketamine or 5 or 10mg?kg~(-1)?h~(-1) after endotoxin(n=10). The animals were anesthetized with urethane i.p. (1g?kg~(-1)). Carotid artery was cannulated for BP and HR monitoring and jugular vein was cannulated for fluid or drug administration. Two hours after endotoxin administration the animals were sacrificed by exsanguination. Blood was collected and peripheral blood monocytes(PBMC) were isolated. NF-?B activity in PBMC was measured by EMSA and plasma TNF-? and IL-6 levels were determined by ELISA. Results Progressive hypotension and tachycardia developed after endotoxin administration. Endotexin also increased NF-?B activity in PBMCs and plasma TNF-? and IL-6. Ketamine 10 mg?kg~(-1) attenuated the endotexin-induced hemedynamie levels. Ketamine(5, 50 mg?kg~(-1)?h~(-1)) suppressed NF-?B activity in PBMC and inhihited plasma TNF-? level but plasma IL-6 level was not affected. Conclusion Ketamine can suppress endotoxin-induced NF-?appa B activation. Subanesthetic dose of ketamine has anti-inflammatory action.

Objective To determine blood/gas and tissue/gas partition coefficients of sevoflurane, isoflurane and halothane and evaluate the effects of pregnancy on them. Methods Ten 18-22 day pregnant and 10 non-pregnant SD rats were killed under pentobarbital anesthesia. The tissue specimens of heart, liver, kidney and brain were obtained and made into homogenates respectively. The blood/gas and tissue/gas partition coefficients of sevoflurane, isoflurane and halothane were determined using a method of 2-stage headspace equilibration by gas chromatography. Results Blood/gas and brain/gas partition coefficients were lower in pregnant group than in non-pregnant group (P

[Objective]To prepare a kind of biphasic ceramic biologic active bone and study its biocompatibility.[Method]Biphasic ceramic biologic bone(BCBB) was mixed with collage type I,bone morphogenetic protein(BMP) and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF),and then the third generation cultured rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) were seeded on BCBB/BMP/bFGF in vitro.The tissue engineering bone(BCBB/BMP/bFGF/MSCs) was observed by upside down microscope,scanning electron microscope(SEM) and examined using methylthiazol tetrazolium(MTT).[Result]Biphasic ceramic biologic active bone BCBB/BMP/bFGF was successfully prepared by reconstituting collage type I,BMP,bFGF and BCBB together.The rabbit cells grew in and on the BCBB/BMP/bFGF to form an ideal tissue engineering bone,and the cells quantity was the most on the 6th day.[Conclusion]BCBB/BMP/bFGF possesses a good biocompatibility with rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bone marrow cells(BMCs) transplantation on the improvement of cardiac function and myocardial perfusion in patients with old myocardial infarction. Methods and Results A total of 10 patients with anterior wall myocardial infarction were transplanted with autologous mononuclear BMCs through an infusion catheter which was placed with the tip in the left anterior descending coronary artery after coronary angiography and interventional therapy if necessary. After 3 months of follow-up, a significant increase of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) determined by ultrasonic cardiography was found (54.5%?6.5% vs. 45.3%?9.8% before transplantation, P=0.003); 201-thallium scintigraphy (SPECT) showed that ventricular myocardial perfusion was significantly improved as the semiquantitative score of the immediate and delayed myocardial perfusion defects decreased from 29.5?5.8 and 28.6?6.3 to 23.9?5.7 and 23.0?6.1prospectively (both P
