BACKGROUND: Conventional endovascular stent-graft exclusion for Debakey Ⅲ type aortic dissection is complicated and the complication rates are relatively high. Moreover, their operating techniques have increased the risk of rupture of laminated break. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of improved endovascular stent-graft exclusion for Debakey Ⅲ type aortic dissection by the innovative methods of interventional therapy. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A retrospective case analysis. Cases were selected from Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical College between October 2006 and March 2009. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 30 male patients with Debakey Ⅲ type aortic dissection were selected from Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical College, aged 43-70(53.5±12.8) years. The time of onset was 5-45 days. METHODS: All patients underwent improved endovascular stent-graft exclusion for Debakey Ⅲ type aortic dissection by the innovative methods of intervsntional therapy. Fine wire bundled endovascular stent-graft were implanted by the innovative transmission and delivery methods in all patients, of which branch stent were implanted when the distance from the break of descending aorta to left subclavian artery was less than 10 mm. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After the success of operation, aortic angiography was performed to detect stent-graft position, shape, break closure, internal leakage, and patency of the aortic arch branches. The situation of post-operative complications were observed. All cases were followed up by MRI to understand the complications such as aneurysm rupture, internal leakage and stent migration. RESULTS: A total of 33 fine wire bundled endovascular stent-graft were successfully implanted in 30 patients, including 4 branch stents. After the operation, 5 patients were verified endoleak, 3 of them were resolved by repeated stent distension and 2 were treated by implantation of another stent. Three months after the operation, 1 patient showed new rupture at the distal stent and then was successfully implanted a new stent. Three cases showed numbness of right lower extremity and 1 case showed intermittent claudication. In follow-up of 3-32 months, MRI scanning showed the reduction of the false cavity with the formation of intraluminal thrombus, the enlargement of true cavity, and no complications such as tumor rupture, internal leakage or stent displacement were found. CONCLUSION: Fine wire bundled endovascular stent-graft and the innovative methods of interventional therapy for endovascular thoracic aorta repair is an effective, less invasive and safe surgery with fast postoperative recovery, high success rate and few complications for patients with Debakey Ⅲ type aortic dissection, especially for high-risk patients.

Objective: To explore the antagonistic effect of quercetin on fine particulate matter (PM2.5)-induced embryonic developmental toxicity in vitro.Methods: PM2.5 was collected on glass fiber filters by PM2.5 samplers during the heating period of Dec.2015 to Mar.2016 in an area of Haidian District, Beijing City.The sampled filters were cut into 1 cm×3 cm pieces followed by sonication.The PM2.5 suspension was filtered into a 10 cm glass dish through 8 layers of sterile carbasus and stored at-80 ℃ until freeze drying.Frozen PM2.5 suspension was dried by vacuum freeze-drying.In vitro post-implantation whole embryo culture was used in this study.Pregnant rats with 9.5 gestation days (GD) were killed by cervical dislocation and the uteri were removed into sterile Hank's solution.The embryos with intact yolk sacs and ecto placental cones were induced by PM2.5, and then subjected to intervention of quercetin at the doses of 0.1 μmol/L, 0.5 μmol/L, 1.0 μmol/L and 5.0 μmol/L, respectively.At the end of the 48 h culture period, the cultures were terminated, and all embryos were removed from the culture bottles and placed in prewarmed Hank's solution for evaluation.Morphological evaluation of the embryos was conducted under a stereomicroscope using the morphologic scoring system by Brown and Fabro.The mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was detected by FACSCalibur flow cyto-metry using MitoSOXTM Red staining.Results: An obvious antagonistic effect was achieved through querce-tin at the dose of 1.0 μmol/L, which could result in an increase of visceral yolk sac (VYS) diameter, crown-rump length and head length, somite number, and the differentiation of visceral yolk sac vascular vessels.The scores of allantois, flexion, heart, hind brain, midbrain, forebrain, auditory system, visual system, olfactory system, branchialarch, maxillary process, forelimb bud and hindlimb bud also revealed a significant increase and the relative mitochondrial ROS level of embryonic cells was significantly decreased when compared with PM2.5 group.Although quercetin at the doses of 0.1 μmol/L, 0.5 μmol/L, 5.0 μmol/L also exhibited protective effects against PM2.5-induced embryonic developmental toxicity, the protective effect was weaker when compared with the dose of 1.0 μmol/L.Conclusion: Quercetin at proper dose may be of great benefit for the development of embryos exposed to PM2.5 in the uterus of the rats.Quercetin provides an effective strategy for the prevention of PM2.5-induced embryonic developmental toxicity.Clearance of mitochondrial ROS may be one of its mechanisms.

Hymenolepis nana and Hymenolepis diminuta are globally widespread zoonotic cestodes. Rodents are the main reservoir host of these cestodes. Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are the best known and most common rats, and usually live wherever humans live, especially in less than desirable hygiene conditions. Due to the little information of the 2 hymenolepidid species in brown rats in China, the aim of this study was to understand the prevalence and genetic characterization of H. nana and H. diminuta in brown rats in Heilongjiang Province, China. Total 114 fecal samples were collected from brown rats in Heilongjiang Province. All the samples were subjected to morphological examinations by microscopy and genetic analysis by PCR amplification of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COX1) gene and the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene. In total, 6.1% (7/114) and 14.9% (17/114) of samples were positive for H. nana and H. diminuta, respectively. Among them, 7 and 3 H. nana isolates were successfully amplified and sequenced at the COX1 and ITS2 loci, respectively. No nucleotide variations were found among H. nana isolates at either of the 2 loci. Seventeen H. diminuta isolates produced 2 different COX1 sequences while 7 ITS2 sequences obtained were identical to each other. The present results of H. nana and H. diminuta infections in brown rats implied the risk of zoonotic transmission of hymenolepiasis in China. These molecular data will be helpful to deeply study intra-specific variations within Hymenolepis cestodes in the future.

Gut microbiota provide enzymes and additional biochemical metabolic pathways for the host, which together with the host genome and the external environment, influence the body function. The composition of gut microbiota in infant is closely related to health in later life. However, it is influenced by many factors, including delivery mode, feeding pattern, prenatal diet, pregnancy psychology and antepartum antibiotic treatment. Vaginal delivery and breastfeeding is beneficial for shaping gut microbiota, while cesarean section and formula feeding would reduce the amount of gut dominant bacteria. In addition, inappropriate diet during pregnancy, prenatal stress and antepartum antibiotic treatment alters bacterial colonization of the gut in infant.
