Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for the treatment of non-acute (history > 14 days) deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity.Methods Clinical data of 63 patients of non-acute DVT of lower extremities treated by CDT and adjunctive angioplasty and stenting from July 2009 to August 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Venous recanalization was graded by a thrombus score based on pre-and post-treatment venography.Follow-up was performed by Doppler ultrasound and clinical evaluation.Results A total of 63 limbs with DVT with a mean symptom duration of (22 ± 5) days were treated by a continuous combined with pulse-spray infusion of urokinase of (1.21 ± 0.69) million IU/d for (74 ± 21) hours.Significant recanalization was achieved in 77% (48 of 63) of the treated limbs.After thrombolysis,percutaneous angioplasty was done for 15 residual lesions and stent placement was performed in 11 iliac veins and 1 femoral vein.Minor bleeding occurred in 6 (10%) patients,no patients suffered from major bleeding or symptomatic pulmonary embolism.During follow up (mean:15 ±6 months),the veins were patent in 45 (71%) limbs.15 (24%) limbs developed mild post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS),and none had severe PTS.Conclusions CDT combined with adjunctive angioplasty and stenting is safe and effective for removal of the clot burden and for restoration of the venous flow in patients with non-acute lower extremity DVT.

OBJECTIVEMultidrug resistance (MDR) plays an important role in the failure of chemotherapy on malignant tumors. This study was to investigate the biomolecular mechanisms of cyclosporine A (CsA), tetrandrine (Tet) and their combination on multidrug resistance in cell line K562/A02.
METHODSK562/A02 cells were treated with CsA and (or) Tet. The intracellular daunorubicin (DNR) concentration and the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) were observed by flow cytometry assay. The mRNA expression of mudtiding resistance gene (mdr1) was measured by fluorescent semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
RESULTSCsA and Tet (alone or combination) elevated the intracellular DNR concentration in K562/A02 cells (the fluorescence intensity of intracellular DNR in K562/A02 cells was 60%, 65% and 98% respectively of that in K562 cells). The fluorescence intensity of P-gp in K562 and K562/A02 cells was 0.18% and 96.51%. The P-gp expression was down-regulated after treated with CsA, Tet and both (75.32%, 76.86% and 48.61%); mdr1 mRNA was also down-regulated, and the effect of their combination was more obvious.
CONCLUSIONMDR can be partially reversed by CsA or Tet, the combination of both drugs shows a great synergistic reversal effect.

Objective To evaluate the respiratory mechanics and inflammatory status in elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD).Methods The arterial blood gases (ABGs),respiratory drive and its derivatives,mechanics of respiratory muscles,resistance and compliance of airway,interleukin-8 (IL-8)and interferon-?(IFN-?)were measured in 42 cases withstable COPD and 40 subjects of normal control.Results The elderly patients with stable COPD had great changes in the following parameters while compared with the control group:peak inspiratory pressure(PIMAX) [(4.48?2.11)vs(6.10?2.91)kPa],maximum expiratory pressure (PEMAX)[(6.30?3.20)vs(9.15?93.30)kPa],0.1s mouth occlusion pressure(P_(0.1)) with its correction index,airway resistance,compliance,ABGs,the levels of IL-8[(218.46?91.14) vs (161.84?14.40)ng/L]and IFN-?[(2435.82?639.92)vs(1652.40?95.08)ng/L],which might aggravate the progress of COPD consistently.Conclusions The elderly patiends with stable COPD has marked changes in respiratory drive,airway resistance,and airway compliance,respiratory mechanic and inflammatory status.The intervention should be performed in the elderly stable COPD patients.

Objective To investigate the levels of serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and relationships with c1inicopatho1ogica1 characteristics and their clinical significance. Methods The concentrations of serum VEGF and bFGF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in 40 patients with NSCLC before and after chemotherapy. Results The level of serum VEGF in patients with Ⅳ stage NSCLC was significantly higher than that of Ⅲ stage(P

0.05),but the expression in controls were negative.The expression levels of PRAME gene at remission was decreased obviously,but increased again when the patients relapsed.Conclusions Expression of PRAME gene has a high level in childhood acute leukemia.The dynamic changes are closely related with the prognosis.It can be regarded as a candidate for detecting minimal residual disease in acute leukemia,and may have important implications for estimating the prognosis and guiding the chemical therapy.

Objective To evaluate the predictive values of ABCD,ABCD2 ,SPI-Ⅱ and ESSEN score models for the patients with high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA)to develop to cerebral infarction in short and long term. Methods The ABCD, ABCD2 , SPI-Ⅱ and ESSEN scores of 235 cases of TIA patients were retrospectively analyzed.The incidence of cerebral infarction was followed up for 7 d and 1 year, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC)was drawn to calculate the area under curve (AUC)to assess the accuracy of the score models,and compared with the original model and the relative risk (RR)value was calculated.Results The 7 d-incidence and 1 year-incidence of cerebral infarction in the 235 TIA patients were 9.36 % and 20.43%.The AUC of ABCD,ABCD2 ,SPI-Ⅱ and ESSEN models for 7 d were 0.70,0.74,0.67,and 0.62.The AUC of 1 year were 0.62,0.62,0.64,and 0.65.Compared with the orginal models,the RRs for 7 d of ABCD score model of the TIA patients in low,middle,and high risk groups were 0.09,0.92,and 0.72;the RRs of ABCD2 score model were 0.49,0.59,and 0.65;the RRs of SPI-Ⅱ score model were 0.58,0.87,and 0.55;the RRs of ESSEN score model were 0.11,0.18,and 0.55.Conclusion ABCD,ABCD2 ,SPI-Ⅱ and ESSEN score models can be used to assess the risk of cerebral infarction after TIA in Chinese population.The ABCD2 score model is of great value for short-term risk prediction,and the ESSEN score model is more value for long-term risk prediction.
