Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of ultrasound-localized percutaneous thrombin injection (ULTI) for the treatment of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysm. Methods From January 2000 through October 2001, 5 patients (3 males, 2 females, age range 38～72 years) were found to have a pseudoaneurysm confirmed by ultrasound between 1 and 3 days following femoral arterial puncture. Two patients were associated with diagnostic arteriography and 3 with stent implantation. ULTI was our first choice for the treatment of ablating femoral pseudoaneurysm. All patients following ULTI were restudied within 24 hours. Results All 5 patients were initially treated with ULTI. Thrombin was injected directly into the pseudoaneurysm with a dose of 500 units over several seconds, successful ablation was visualized immediately in 4 patients, the remaining 1 patient needed ultrasound-guided compression treatment of five minutes. Follow-up at the 24th hour showed no recurrent pseudoaneurysm after initial successful ablation in any case. No distal embolization or allergic reaction occurred. Conclusion ULTI is a safe, rapid, well-tolerated, inexpensive and effective noninvasive method for the treatment of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysm and should be considered as first-line therapy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of early intracoronary injection of tirofiban via aspiration catheter on myocardial no-reflow in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods 120 consecutive patients over 65 years old with AMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were randomized into two groups.In tirofiban group (n=60),thrombus aspiration and intracoronary tirofiban bolus (10 μg/kg prior to the first balloon inflation) via aspiration catheter were performed.In control group (n=60),thrombus aspiration was followed by primary PCI.The incidence of no-reflow and bleeding were assessed in the two groups.Results The moderate to severe bleeding (TIMI bleeding criteria) did not occur in the two groups,there's no significant difference between two groups in the incidence of minor bleeding [26.7％(16 cases) vs.21.7％ (13 cases),x2 =0.19,P=0.522].The incidence of myocardial noreflow was significantly lower in tirofiban group than in the control group [10.0％ (6/60) vs.25.0％ (15/60),x2 =4.68,P=0.031].Conclusions The intracoronary injection of tirofiban via aspiration catheter may significantly reduce the incidence of myocardial no-reflow in patients with STEMI without increasing bleeding complications.

Objective To explore the effective molecular mechanism of PPAR-γligands rosiglitazone to biliary ischemia-reperfusion injury in autologous liver transplantation. Method A total of 40 SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into sham operation group (SO), ischemia - reperfusion group (Ⅰ/R), rosiglitazone (ROS) and GW9662 group, with 10 ones in each. The models, rat biliary ischemiareperfusion injury of autologous liver transplantation, were made by modified two-cuff technique. Tissues of the liver and bile ducts and blood of those models were evaluated by pathological and biochemical methods to make sure the models were made successfully or not. SO group suffered autologous orthotopic liver transplantation, and L/R group suffered both that and ischemia-reperfusion. ROS group were injected rosiglitazone (0.3mg/kg) via portal vein after having been done all as I/R. GW9662 group suffered all as ROS, and 10min later ,they were injected GW9662(0.3mg/kg) via portal vein. 4h after the experiment, tissues of livers and bilary ducts were taken to be tested by immunohistochemistry method, and the blood punctured from the right ventricular were taken to be determined by ELISA. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.Results IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 were mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes and bile duct cells,while NF-κB was expressed both in the cytoplasm and nuclei. Expression of those proteins in L/R and GW9662 group was increased, significantly higher when compared to the SO and ROS (P ＜ 0.05). IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 in rat serum were simultaneously increased, and significantly higher than SO(P ＜0.05).Compared with the SO, expressions of the IL-1 β,TNF-α and IL-6 were not significantly changed in ROS (P＞ 0.05 )but significantly increased in GW9662. Conclusions PPAR-γ ligand rosiglitazone took protective role in biliary ischemia-reperfusion injury in autologous liver transplantation. The mechanism correlates with the release of the IL-lα, IL-1β and TNF-α and other inflammatory mediators, which decreased as the expression of NF-κB inhibited by its antagonist.

Objective To investigate the first medical contact to balloon ( FMC2B) time in our center and to identify the influencing factors .Methods This is a retrospective study conducted in the heart center of Beijing Luhe Hospital . A total of 140 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI) were enrolled between July 2013 to September 2014.Demographic data , clinical risk factors and the emergency process were evaluated .All the patients were categorized into 2 groups including:the conformed group ( patients with FMC2B<120 min for non-PCI-capable hospital and <90 min for direct arrival at Luhe hospital, n=59) and the unconformed group (n=81).Multivariant regression aralysis was done to analyse factors influencing FMC 2B time.Results Among the enrolled 140 patients, 58 patients were initially seen in a non-PCI-capable hospital , 31 patients were directly sent to Luhe hospital by ambulance and 51 patients arrived by themselves.The median FMC2B time was 106.16 min (interquartile range [ IQR ]: 77.37 -165.52 min ) and 42.1% ( 59/140 ) of the patients achieved the current recommended FMC2B time.In a multivariate logistic analysis , FMC to electrocardiographic ( ECG) within 10 min ( OR=5.61 , 95% CI 1.91-16.88 ) , admission during normal working hours ( OR=5.11 , 95%CI 1.88-13.85 ) , patient′s education level of high school or above ( OR=4.16 , 95%CI 1.53-11.34 ) , awareness of heart diseases ( OR =2.58, 95% CI 1.13 -5.91 ) were predictors of improving FMC2B. Transfer for primary PCI (OR=0.37, 95% CI 0.15-0.92) increased FMC2B.Conclusions Less than half of the patients with primary PCI achieved the goal of guidelines′recommended FMC2B time.Initial ECG, admission during normal working hours , patient′s education level and awareness of heart diseases and transfer for primary PCI are the independent predictors of FMC 2B time.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of relaparoscopic common bile duct exploration in choledocholithiasis.Methods 50 patients who underwent LC/OC/LCBDE/OCBDE for biliary surgery with choledocholithiasis were randomized into two groups:Group A (n ＝25) laparoscopic approach and Group B (n =25) open approach.The operation time,hospital stay,cost of hospitalization and postoperative complications were compared.Results There was no significant difference in the operation time,liver functional index,postoperative bile leakage rate and cost of hospitalization between the two groups.The postoperative hospital stay in group A was shorter than that in group B (7.1 ± 1.5 vs 12.4 ±4.3 days,P ＜0.05),as was the volume of intraoperative blood loss (58.3 ± 24.2 ml vs 108.6 ± 35.7 ml,P ＜ 0.05),recovery of gastrointestinal function (26.3 ±3.6 vs 58.2 ±6.3 hours,P ＜0.05),postoperative analgesia (7/25 vs 17/25,P＜0.05) and wound infection rate (1/25 vs 6/25,P＜0.05).Conclusions Relaparoscopic commonbile duct exploration for recurrent choledocholithiasis appeared to be a safe,feasible,and efficacious procedure when carried out by expert laparoscopic surgeons.The procedure is worth promoting.

Objective:To analyze phylogenetic structure and molecular characteristics of H5N6 avian influenza virus (AIVs) isolated from live poultry market (LPM).Methods:Oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs from poultry, and environmental samples were collected from LPM in Urumqi in December 2018, AIVs were isolated and identified by inoculation of chicken embryo, hemagglutination test and RT-PCR, the viral whole genome was amplified with the universal primers of influenza A virus, and then sequenced, pairwise sequence alignments, phylogenetic and molecular characteristics analysis were performed by BLAST, Clustal W, MEGA-X and DNAStar software.Results:Six strains of H5N6 AIVs were isolated from poultry samples, the identity between the viral genes was high (99.4%-100.0%), so the isolates were the same source. BLAST analysis revealed that the viral NP sequence had the highest identity (99.7%) with H5N6 AIVs isolated from poultry in Suzhou, while the sequence of the remaining 7 viral genes had the highest identity (99.0%-100.0%) with H5N6 AIVs isolated from environment in Guangdong during 2017 to 2018. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the viral HA belonged to Clade 2.3.4.4C, and the viral HA, NA, PB1, PA, NP, and MP were all clustered together with H5N6 AIVs isolated from mink in Eastern China in 2018, while the PB2 and NS were clustered together with H5N6 AIVs isolated from environment in Guangdong from 2017 to 2018. The HA cleavage site contained multiple basic amino acid residues, which was highly pathogenic AIVs (HPAIVs). S137A and T160A mutations of HA could increase binding to human-type receptor SAα2, 6-Gal. Additionally, the viral multiple mutations, including 59-69 deletion in NA, the L89V, G309D, R477G, I495V, I504V, D391E, and A661E in PB2, as well as the P42S, D92E, and 80-84 deletion in NS1, could enhance the viral virulence and pathogenicity to mammals. Conclusions:The 6 strains of H5N6 HPAIVs isolated from LPM have relatively close genetic relationship with H5N6 AIVs isolated from mink in Eastern China and environment in Guangdong during 2017 to 2018, the viral multiple mutations could increase its pathogenicity to mammals, which could pose a potential risk to public health.

ObjectiveInvestigate the value and feasibility of image registration with reverse rotation in lateral cerebral DSA.Methods ( 1 ) Experimental study:the target images were subtracted directly,and subtracted again after reverse rotation.Software of registration and subtraction with reverse rotation edited by the author utilizing Visual Basic.The function of the automatic angle detection by the software were evaluated to see whether it detected the angle of line.The subtraction function of DSA by the software was evaluated.(2) Clinical retrospective study:the untreated mask and target inages of 15 patients with motion along vertical axis during lateral cerebral DSA were uploaded to the software.The target images were processed with and without the software to get two sets of images.( 3 ) Evaluation:four experienced radiologists read and compared the two sets of the images,and graded their findings.Results ( 1 ) The automatic detection by the software suggested that the target images should be rotated counterclockwise 1.3°. The subtraction result of the software was satisfactory.(2)In the 15 sets of images,there were only three sets of images deemed optimal after traditional subtraction.After reverse rotation,artifacts were significantly reduced and the image sharper. There were ten cases with significant artifacts after traditional subtraction,and those images were sharper and showed more peripheral vessels after reverse rotation. The traditional subtraction images of two sets could not be interpreted,the reverse rotation registration images reached the diagnostic quality.(3)Subjective evaluation: there were more information and less noise and distortion in the registration images with reverse rotation than in the traditional subtraction. But the image resolution decreased slightly after reverse rotation registration.ConclusionThe registration of digital angiography with reverse rotation can improve the image quality in lateral cerebral DSA.
