1.How to treat medical papers in a proper way:illustrated with the subject of splenic artery steals syndrome after hepatic transplantation
Journal of Interventional Radiology 2006;0(12):-
When reading or writing a medical paper involving clinical practice or fundamental research, it is necessary to read or review other correlative ones published in specially journals. Medical papers are always the fastest and most authorized way of reporting the latest achievements ,innovation and discoveries in medicine. However, viewpoints expressed by different authors and different periodicals varied considerably, sometimes were similar, sometimes were contradicted and even poles apart in one subject. It is worthwhile to think about facing with different conclusions, as how to make one’s papers choice. In this article, we took the example for analysis of medical papers about "The complication of post hepatic transplantation: splenic artery steals syndrome" written by different authors and talking about how to treat medical papers properly.
2.Interventional treatment of biliary complications after liver transplantation
Journal of Interventional Radiology 1994;0(04):-
Biliary tract complications occurred after liver transplantation have been the well-known causes of the substantial morbidity and mortality. It has been widely accepted that biliary drainage, balloon dilation and stent placement are useful interventional techniques for the treatment of biliary tract complications. Biliary tract complications are more likely to be complex and to have multiple causes. For the interventional radiologists, a further understanding of the mechanism, pathology, classification and diagnosis of the biliary complications is very helpful in reasonably working out the appropriate therapeutic strategy in order to improve the clinical success rate of liver transplantation.

Apoptosis is involved in a variety of diseases. Cysteine aspartate specific protease (caspase), a protease family which executes apoptosis, plays a crucial role in course of apoptosis. It can be activated through various pathways. Some natural and synthetic caspase inhibitors will strengthen anti apoptotic action through inhibiting one or several caspase activity, and will become effective means in treating diseases caused by overapoptosis.

Aim To investigate the effects of Astragalus Mongholicus Bunge Lectin (AMML) on tumor cells proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis by using human leukemia cell line (K562 cells).Methods The antiproliferation effect of AMML on K562 cells was detected by the colorimetric MTT assay.The apoptosis induced by AMML on K562 cells was explored by means of cell morphological and flow cytometry.Results AMML showed strong inhibiton of the growth of K562 cells in a time-and concentration-dependence. After incubation of K562 cells with AMML at a concentration of 60 mg?L-1 for 72 h,the inhibition ratio was 89%.Morphological observation showed that AMML-treated K562 cells displayed outstanding apoptosis characteristics,such as nuclear fragmentation,chromatin condensation. AMML induced significant cell cycle arrest at S phase in K562 cells,and the apoptosis of K562 cells was confirmed by flow cytometry.Conclusion AMML can inhibit the growth of K562 cells through S arrest and induce the apoptosis of K562 cells. Thus,AMML may be valuable for the treatment of cancer.

Objective: To select highly metastatic cells from human salivary gland mucoepidermoid carcinoma cell clone Mc3. Methods: In situ transplantation of Mc3 cells into submandibular gland of nude mice, in situ transplantation of Mc3 induced lung metastasized tumor tissue among nude mice and cell culture were employed to obtain the wanted cells. Morphological observation, cell growth analysis, flow cytometry, chromosome staining, clonogenic assay and artificial metastasis test in nude mice were used to characterize the cells. Results: Lung metastasis was observed in 3 out of 10 nude mice after 4 cycles of in situ transplantation of Mc3 cell induced lung metastasized tumor tissue. Epidermoid cells with similar morphology to Mc3 were obtained through cell culture and the cells were named M3SP4. M3SP4 cell induced lung metastatic foci were histologicaly proved to be mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Subdiploid karyotype with human chromosome morphology was observed in M3SP4 and Mc3 cells. The population doubling time (h) of M3SP4 and Mc3 cells was 23.9 and 25.9, the percentage of S phase cells in cell cycle 26.8 and 15.3, clonogenecity (%) 54.6 and 30.2, respectively. The artificial lung metastatic potential of M3SP4 cells was 35% higher than that of Mc3 in nude mice. Conclusion: M3SP4 cells are of human mucoepidermoid carcinoma with higher metastatic potential than Mc3. In situ transplantation of mucoepidermoid carcinoma cells or lung metastasized tumor tissue may maintain the metastatic potential of the cells.

Objective: To investigate the differentially expressed genes in osteosarcoma cell lines with various metastatic potentialities, and to screen for new candidate genes related to metastasis of osteosarcomas. Methods: The total RNAs of a lowly metastatic and a highly metastatic osteosarcoma cell lines (M6 and M8) were extracted. Differentially expressed genes in the two osteosarcoma cell lines were studied by cDNA microarray. The hybridization signals were scanned with a Generation Ⅲ array scanner and analyzed by Imagequant 5.0 software. Typical differentially expressed genes were further verified by real-time quantitative PCR. Results: There were 330 differentially expressed genes between M6 and M8 cells. In the high-metastasis M8 cells, 178 genes were up-regulated and 152 genes were down-regulated compared to the low-metastasis M6 cells, with 43 extremely up-regulated and 49 extremely down-regulated. The differentially expressed genes were mainly associated with cell proliferation, indicating these genes might be related to the inhibition of M6 cells. Other differentially expressed genes included those associated with the regulation of gene expression and signal transduction, indicating these genes might be correlated with tumor metastasis. Conclusion: cDNA microarray shows an advantage in identifying genes associated with metastasis of osteosarcoma. In M8 subset of MG63 osteosarcoma cells,43 genes are up-regulated and 49 genes are down-regulated, which may be related with metastasis of osteosarcoma.

Objective To discuss the technique of Neuroform stent-assisted coil embolization for the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms and to evaluate its clinical efficacy and complications.Methods Neuroform stent-assisted technique was used for coil embolization treatment in 31 patients with intracranial wide-necked aneurysms, all aneurysms were ruptured and the patients suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Of the total 43 aneurysms, 39 were wide-necked and 4 were narrow-necked. Results Thirty-five stents were inserted in 31 patients. The stents were implanted in both internal carotid arteries in 3 patients and in both middle cerebral arteries in one patient, Intra-arterial embolization with coils was successfully performed in 41 of 43 aneurysms. Intraoperative hemorrhage occurred in 2 patients, which probably resulted from the rupture of middle cerebral artery branch due to microwire damage. The cerebral isehemic symptom happened in 1 patient with posterior communicating artery aneurysm due to the shifting of the coil from the original site to M2 segment of middle cerebral artery. During a follow-up period of 24.7 months in average, neither death nor recurrent hemorrhage occurred in 29 cases. Twenty-eight patients were in good living condition and the remaining one patient showed obvious disturbance of neural function.Conclusion For the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms, intra-arterial coil embolization with Neuroform stent-assisted technique is a safe and effective clinical therapy. It can effectively broaden the extent of indications in treating intracranial aneurysms by using interventional technique.
