Objective: To compare the therapeutic efficacy between thrombin injection and local compression on femoral pseudoaneurysms by using color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI). Methods: Thirty-eight patients with intervention-induced femoral pseudoaneurysms were randomly assigned to ultrasound-guided thrombin injection (group A, n = 19) and ultrasound-guided local compression (group B, n = 19). The volume, diameter of abnormal channel, and systolic peak velocity (SPV) of pseudoaneurysms before and after the treatment, as well as the obliterating time after the treatment were measured by CDFI. The follow-up observation was done immediately after the treatment, at day 3 and day 7. Results: The obliterating time of abnormal charmels was 4.0 ± 1.7 minutes in group A. It was significantly shorter than group B (3.6 ± 3.0 d, P=0.000). Three days later, the effective cases (19/19) in group A were significantly higher than that of group B (13/19, P=0.020) during the follow up period. Seven days later, the mean volume of hematomas in both groups was 26 ± 15 mm3, and it was significantly smaller than that before the treatment (34 ± 18 mm3, P = 0.000). The mean volume decreased 9.4 ± 8.6 mm3 in group A. There was no significant difference as compared with group B (8.6 ± 8.7 mm3, P = 0.784). One patient in group B developed deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs. Conclusion: CDFI may objectively evaluate the morphology of femoral pseudoaneurysms and the hemodynamic changes before and after the treatment. The therapeutic effect of the ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for femoral pseudoaneurysms is superior to ultrasound-guided local compression.

Aim Tostudytheantidepressanteffectand mechanism of Gross saponins of Tribulus terrestris. Methods Themodelofdepressionwasestablishedby unpredictable chronic mild stress(UCMS),then open filed test (OFT)and tail suspension test (TST)were used to evaluate the behavioral changes.LC-MS/MS method was employed to measure blood neurotransmit-ters.mRNA expressions of IDO,IL-10 and IL-1βwere detected by quantitative PCR method.Hippocampus protein expression was detected by Western blot.Re-sults Comparedwithcontrolgroup,modelgroup's total distance,number of standing and tail suspension fixed time increased significantly (P <0. 05 ),Neuro-transmitter level of 5-HT in the blood was significantly decreased(P<0. 05 ).mRNA expression of IDO and IL-1βwas increased in hippocampus.Protein expres-sion of IDO was significantly increased in hippocampus (P <0. 05 ).Compared with model group,the treat-ment group was significantly decreased in total distance,number of standing and tail suspension fixedtime(P<0. 05).Neurotransmitter level of 5-HT in the blood and mRNA expression of IL-10 in hippocampus were significantly increased after treatment (P <0. 05 ).mRNA and protein expression of IDO were ob-viously down-regulated in hippocampus (P <0. 05 ). Conclusions GrosssaponinsofTribulusterrestriscan obviously improve rat behavior and show antidepressanteffect,which can increase neurotransmitter level of 5-HT in the blood,down-regulate mRNA expression of IDO and IL-1β,and obviously increase protein expres-sion levels of IDO in hippocampus(P<0. 05 ).

Objective To establish the animal model(rabbit) of shoulder instability for providing the experimental basis of related studies.Methods shoulder joints of 6 skeletally matured New Zealand white rabbits were measured with the anatomical characteristics and joint motion range in order to determine the operative approach,the similarities of skeletal structure,surrounding muscles,joint capsule and ligaments between rabbit and human were compared.Eighteen rabbits,weighing between 2.5 and 3kg were randomized into 2 groups(experimental group 12 and control 6).In experimental group,instability model was established by means of the operation procedure as follows:the glenohumeral joint of right shoulder was exposed by cutting the subscapularis tendon,then the anteroinferior labrum and surrounding capsular ligament were excised.For control group,sham operation was performed by only curing the skin and superficial tissue,the subscapularis tendon and glenoid structures was kept intact.The specimens of 6 rabbits were harvested 6 weeks after operation.The remaining rabbits of both experimental and control groups were killed 12 weeks post the operation for specimens processing.The motion range and instability were measured in all specimens.Results The gross anatomy of shoulder ioint in rabbit is similar to human.In experimental group,the stability is showed less than control,grade 2 anterior instability was found.The motion range was restricted in all directions,such as external and internal rotation,extension and abduction compared to control group.Conclusion Rabbit is suitable to establish animal model for shoulder instability and related iniuries,the animal model which was designed by this study could provide valuable information for the research of anterior shoulder instability.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and prognosis of perioperative myocardial infarction in the patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Methods Clinical data of 562 patients who had accepted non-cardiac surgery was collected and retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors, treatments and outcomes of all these patients were recorded and analyzed. Results A total of 19 out of the 562 patients had perioperative myocardial infarction ( PMI) . The incidence was 3. 4% . The mean occurrence time was (43. 5 ± 12. 7)h after operation. Eleven PMI patients (11 ∕ 19) were non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and eight patients (8 ∕ 19) were ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Thirteen PMI patients were left coronary artery occlusion and six patients were right coronary artery occlusion. Advanced age, history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, change of ST-T segment on electrocardiography (ECG), multivessel diseases, diabetes,hypertension,and high risk non-cardiac surgery were the risk factors of PMI and positively correlated to PMI. Sixteen PMI (16 ∕ 19) patients accepted PCI treatment and three patients (3 ∕ 19) accepted drug conservative treatment. Two patients had unstable angina attack after treatment and one patient had arrhythmia. The heart function in two patients decreased by one or more than one class within the follow up of 1 year. No patient had recurrent acute myocardial infarction or deceased during follow-up. Conclusions Many factors could lead to PMI. Making preoperative assessment, recognizing patients of high risks and dealing with patients who had PMI in time was necessary.

[Objective]To analyze the clinical features and related risk factors in diabetic retinopathy(DR)and diabetic periph?eral neuropathy(DPN),the two micro-peripheral vascular diseases in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.[Methods]A retro?spective study of 211 cases of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatient from 2009 to 2012 ,and compare the two micro-peripheral vascular complications.[Results]The morbidity of DPN was(33.6%),which was higher than that of DR,some cases of DR co-existed with DPN,DR was related with DPN(r=0.158,P=0.020). Age and systolic blood pressure were the common risk factors in DR and DPN by single factor analysis.[Conclusion]It should be paid attention to the screening of both DR and DPN in each age group in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. Except for the control of blood glucose ,the control of the systolic blood pressure is important in the prevention and treatment in the two micro-peripheral vascular diseases.

Objective To explore the clinical curative effect of electromyographic biofeedback on pointed foot in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods From June, 2014 to December, 2015, 80 children with spastic cerebral palsy and pointed foot were divided into con-ventional group (n=40) and electromyographic biofeedback group (n=40). The conventional group received exercise and massage, while the electromyographic biofeedback group received electromyographic biofeedback in addition. The passive range of motion (PROM) of ankle, the surface electromyographic results and the selective control results were compared before and eight weeks after treatment. Results After treatment, the PROM significantly decreased in both groups (t>9.142, P<0.001);the integrated electromyography and root mean square, and the selective control increased in both groups (t>3.456, Z>3.178, P<0.01), which were better in the electromyographic biofeedback group than in the conventional group (t>3.737, Z=-2.748, P<0.01). Conclusion Electromyographic biofeedback can further improve the foot dor-sal flexure and pointed foot gait of spastic cerebral palsy children.

Objective To explore the effects of passive smoking on vascular endothelial function in office women.Methods Totally,94 healthy office women volunteers from urban(36 women)and townships or towns(58 women)were divided into three groups based on the extent of their daily exposure to passive smoking,group A exposed to one to eight cigarettes,group B exposed to nine to 15 cigarettes,and group C exposed to more than 15 cigarettes,respectively,with 20 healthy young women without exposure to passive smoking as controls.Internal diameter of the brachial artery Was measured by color Doppler ultrasound scanning for each of the participants and its changes were observed before and after congestive reaction of the brachial artery test and nitroglycerin test.Results Thirteen of 36 office women from urban and 38 of 58 from townships or towns exposed to passive smoking of more than eight cigarettes daily,with chi-square of 7.74,P=0.0054.The brachial artery in groups A,B and C dilated less than that in the controls did.The brachial artery in group C dilated less than that in the groups A and B did.Conclusion Passive smoking could damage vascular endothelial dilatation function in office women.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for traumatic lumbar punctures in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Methods 132 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia totally received 2634 lumbar punctures. The basic data on age, sex, body mass index (BMI), platelet count, interval between two punctures, and presence or absence of ultrasound-guided procedure were collected and analyzed. The risk factors for traumatic lumbar puncture were identified by logistic regression. Results The risk for traumatic lumbar puncture was higher in children younger than 1 year, and it was relatively lower in those aged 1 to 10 years. The risk for traumatic lumbar puncture was slightly higher in children with a BMI index of more than 95. The longer the interval between two punctures, the lower the risk. If lumbar puncture was guided under ultrasound or radiographic images, the risk was much smaller. Conclusions Age of younger than 1 year, BMI index of more than 95, shorter interval between two punctures, and direct puncture can increase the risk for traumatic lumbar puncture.
