Intracranial aneurysm is a common disorder. With the ongoing improvement of medical imaging technique, the chance of finding an unruptured intracranial aneurysm in clinical practice has steadily increased. The rupture of aneurysms can result in subarachnoid hemorrhage and even in life-threatening conditions. Recent researches have indicated that the rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms bears a close relationship to the aneurysm's features, such as the size, site, shape, number, growth orientation, growth rate, etc. A further understanding of the features of unruptured intracranial aneurysm is very valuable for the effective prevention of its rupture.

Objective To establish a carotid artery stenosis model by endovascular technique suitable for neuro-interventional therapy.Methods Twelve dogs were anesthetized, the unilateral segments of the carotid arteries' tunica media and intima were damaged by a corneous guiding wire of home made. Twenty-four carotid artery stenosis models were thus created. DSA examination were performed on postprocedural weeks 2, 4, 8, 10 to estimate the changes of those stenotic carotid arteries. Results Twenty-four carotid artery stenosis models were successfully created in twelve dogs. Conclusions Canine carotid artery stenosis models can be created with the endovascular method having variation of pathologic characters and hemodynamic changes similar to human being. It is useful for further research involving the new technique and new material for interventional treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of peri-interventional procedure serum bile acid(TBA)detection in patients with primary liver cancer. Methods The serum TBA was examined peri-operatively in 160 patients with primary liver cancer for testing the correlations between TBA, liver function, the degree of hepatocirrhosis, interventional therapy method and hepatic failure. Results The preoperative mean value of serum TBA incseased significantly in comparing with that of the control group (P

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of bilateral internal iliac arterial embolization in the treatment of hemorrhagic cystitis after bone marrow transplantation. Methods Among 28 patients with hemorrhagic cystitis, 7 patients experienced bilateral internal iliac artery embolization because of serious hemorrhage that couldn′t be controlled by conservative treatments,including CML (n = 3) , AML(n = 2) , ALL (n = 1),acute myelomonocytic leukemia(M4, n = 1). Embolization of the target vessels was performed by using gelfoam particleas for bilateral internal iliac arterial visceral branches. Results Gross hematuria disappeared in 4 cases after embolization by gelfoam particles. The time of bleeding controlled continued 2-10 d(mean 6 d). No rebleeding was observed in all of the cases during the 12 - 82 days follow up.Gross hematuria markedly reduced in another 3 cases after embolization. But failure occurred in other two patients. No definite complication related to the procedure was noted. Conclusion Bilateral internal iliac arterial embolization is an effective, less invasive, and safe method for serious hemorrhagic cystitis after bone marrow transplantation.

0.05). In 30 eyes of diabetics with phacoemulsification, 11 eyes had new macula edema after surgery and 3 eyes had significant retinal thickening. In 6 eyes with macular edema before surgery, the macular edema were aggravated in 3 eyes after surgery. The macular structural changes were not found in two control groups. Conclusion The thickness of retina is inreased after phacoemulsification in deabetics,and morbidity and its severity of postopevative macular edema are increased as well.

Objective To observe the changes of macula in patients with high myopia after phacoemulsification. Methods In 20 patients with high myopia with ocular axial length≥27 mm, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed on the operative and contralateral eyes 1 week before and after monocular phacoemulsification, respectively, and the OCT images of macula of the operative eyes were observed and compared. Results One week before and after phacoemulsification, the mean macular fovea thickness of the patients with high myopia was (131.6?16.37) ?m and (189.75?45.69) ?m, respectively, with a significant difference (t=2.805, P=0.01). Simultaneously, the mean macular fovea thickness of the contralateral eyes was (133.5?15.12) ?m and (133.5?14.63) ?m, respectively, with a non-significant difference (t=1.367, P=0.853). In 20 operative eyes 1 week after phacoemulsification, 3 had vitreous strand around the macula with retinal thickening, 1 had retinoschisis in macular area, and 2 had obvious retinal thickening with slight retinal edema. Conclusion Retinal thickening occurs in the patients with high myopia after phacoemulsification. Traction of retina by vitreous strand or subclinical retinoschisis may occur in some patients.

Objective To explore therapeutic efficacy of blue-light-filtering intraocular lenses implantation on treating patients with diabetes cataract , and provide a more comfortable choice after phacoemulsification ( PHACO) and intraocularlens ( IOL) implan-tation.Methods A total of 100 cases (100 eyes) of patients with diabetes cataract was collected , and was randomly divided into group I ( n =50, implanted ordinary intraocular lenses ) and group II ( n =50, implanted blue-light-filtering intraocular lenses).Af-ter surgery, the best-corrected vision and postoperative complications were reported .The subjective visual performance was evaluated by questionnaire .Results At 1 week and 1 month after surgery , the best-corrected vision had no significant differences between two groups ( P >0.05 ) .Early complication after surgery was not significantly different between two groups ( P >0.05 ) .The subjective visual performance in the blue-light-filtering intraocular lenses group was significantly better than that in the ordinary intraocular lenses group ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusions When the blood sugar is controlled in certain level , it is possible for the blue-light-filtering in-traocular lenses to provide a better choice for patients with diabetes cataract .

Objective To investigate the therapeutic value of embolization in severe hemorrhagic cystitis(HC) following allogeneic stem cell transplantation.Methods Six patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation developed severe HC with a median onset time of 33 days after transplantation.All these patients had been resistant to conservative managements and received the treatment of selective embolization of bilateral internal iliac arteries.Results Eight times of embolizations were performed for 6 patients.The HC was cured in 4 patients and the HC improved in 1 patient,yielding a response rate of 83 %.One patient didn't respond to this measure.For the patients with response,macroscopic hematuria disappeared 7 to 10 days after the treatments and microscopic hematuria vanished 20 to 30 days after the intervention therapy.Both procedures were tolerated well and no severe adverse effects were observed.Conclusions Selective embolization of internal iliac arteries seems to be a safe and effective treatment for severe HC.This measure can be proposed for patients undergoing refractory and persistent severe HC.

Objective To evaluate the progress and experience in treatment of burn patients in the past 10 years (1993～2002) so as to bring forth ideas for further researches in burn surgery. Methods The general clinical data, complications, survival rate and causes of death in 5378 burn patients treated in our institute were collected and analyzed. The results were compared with those cases treated in our hospital during the years 1983～1992. Results in the past 10 years, there were no significant differences in the general clinical data including age, sex, causes, location, burn area and depth, incidence of combined injury and inhalation injury compared with those in the years 1983～1992. The survival rate of the cases in past 10 years was higher than that of the cases in the years 1983～1992. The main causes of death were organ dysfunction, inhalation injury and infection, among which the incidence of organ dysfunction stood foremost.Conclusions The results suggest that hypoxemia due to severe burn shock and inhalation injury, and endotoxin derived from burn wound still are the main causes of burn death. Protection of the body from early damage of postburn remains to be the most urgent problem in the burn research at present.

Objective The aim of our study was to describe the clinicopathological characteristics and to evaluate the prognostic factors of postoperative PNENs.Methods The clinicopathological data of 101 postoperative PNENs patients were collected and analyzed retrospectively.We analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors.The survival analysis was conducted by Kaplan-Meier method and survival analysis was performed by Cox model.Results 101 patients with PNENs were enrolled,including 46.5％ male(n=47) and 53.5％ female(n=54),the median age was 51 years old (ranged 19-80).94 patients(93.1％) with neuroendocrine tumors(NETs),7 patients(6.9％) with neuroendocrine carcinomas(NECs).The mean size of tumor was 3.3 cm(ranged 0.5-15).Immunohistochemistry staining positive rates for chromogranin A (CgA) and synaptophysin (Syn) were 89.0％ and 98.0％ respectively.Patients were 66 cases (65.3％),23 cases (22.8％) and 12 cases (11.9％) in TNM stage I,II and IV respectively.34 cases(33.7％) were F-PNENs,and 67 cases(66.3％) were NF-PNENs.Our study demonstrated that there were statistically significant differences between F-PNENs and NF-PNENs in stage,grade,neural and vascular invasion,CgA positive rate(χ2=10.372,18.162,9.699,5.547,4.043,P＜0.05).Meanwhile,significant differences were found between NETs and NECs in stage,neural and vascular invasion,CgA positive rate(χ2=11.642,5.254,14.458,5.254,P＜0.05).PNENs had better prognosis,with 5-year survival rate of 84.3％.The independent prognostic factor for survival was grade.Conclusion PNENs are a family of tumors with diversity clinical presentation and prognosis.Surgery is the main treatment method,grade of PNENs is the independent prognostic factor.
