Endovascular coil embolization has become an important way because of its advantages of less trauma and quick recovery.However,long-term follow-up studies have shown that the recurrence rate of aneurysm after coil embolization is much higher than that of the surgical clipping.It is mainly associteed with the factors such as incomplete packing coil compression and aneurysm regrowth.This article reviews the factors influencing intracranial aneurysm recurrence after endovascular coil embolization.

Increasing detection of unruptured intracranial aneurysms,catastrophic outcomes from subarachnoid hemorrhage,and risks and cost of treatment necessitate defining objective predictive parameters of aneurysm rupture risk.However,long-term follow-up have shown the risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture is associated with its morphologic characteristics,hemodynamic factors and patient's own situation.

Objective To investigate the influence of 1oganin on proliferation and differentiation of rat preadipocytes. Methods Rat preadipocytes were cultured. The proliferation of rat preadipoeytes was detected by MTT method. The expression of GPDH during the preadipoeytes differentiation was determined by using enzyme tissue chemical way, and the accumulation of cellular lipid was determined by Oil Red O staining. Results Loganin at the concentrations of 8, 16, 32 ? mol/L stimulated rat preadipocyte proliferation, inhibited GPDH increase and lipid accumulation during differentiation in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion Loganin can stimulate rat preadipocyte proliferation, inhibite rat preadipocyte differentiation.

Objective: To observe the effect of 17β-estradiol (17β-E2) on the calcium (Ca2) channels during the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and to elucidate the mechanism of 17β-E2 in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Methods: The MSCs were separated by density gradient centrifugation and adherent screening, and passaged for 3 times continuously to induce osteoblast differentiation. The MSCs were divided into control group [cultivated in osteoblast culture medium alone (OBM)] and different doses of 17β-E2 groups (added with 0. 1, 1.0, 10. 0, and 100. 0 pmol · L-1 17β-E2 in OBM, respectively). On the 14th day of osteogenic induction, the cells in each group were stained with Fluo-3/AM, and the Ca2 levels were determinated by laser scanning confocal microscope; the mean fluorescence intensity (MFD was used to respresent the level of Ca2. Whole-cell Ca2 currents were recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique under different conditions. Results: The MSCs with fibroblast-like cells, oval nuclei and visible nucleoli were successfully isolated by density gradient centrifugation and adherent screening. The subcultured MSCs grew vigorously and maintained the morphological characteristics of primary cells. Following the increase of 17β-E2 concentration, the Fluo-3 fluorescence staining intensity of Ca2 in each group was also gradually increased, especially in 100. 0 pmol · L-1 17β-E2 group. Compared with control group, the MFI of Ca' and the current peak values of Ca' in 10. 0 and 100. 0 pmol · L-1 17β-E2 groups were increased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01) during osteogenic differentiation of the MSCs; the MFI of Ca2 and the current peak values of Ca2 in 0. 1 and 1. 0 pmol · L-1 17β-E2 groups showed no significant differences (P>0. 05). Conclusion: The cells isolated by density gradient and adherent screening method are the rat MScs. 17β-E2 plays a role in promoting osteogenesis by enhancing the opening of Ca' channels in the MSCs and the inward current of calcium ions in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To compare the efficacy and cost of surgical clipping and endovascular embolization in the treatment of anterior and posterior communicating artery aneurysm and to conduct cost-effectiveness analysis. Methods The data of treatment outcomes and costs in patients with anterior or posterior communicating artery aneurysms admitted to Huashan hospital from 2002 to 2006 were analyzed using a retrospective cohort study. Results A total of 302 patients were included in the study. They were divided into surgical clipping group (n = 150; 65 males, age [48. 11 ±9. 94] years), interventional treatment group (n = 152;75 males, age [52. 56 ± 11. 09] year). The age of the former was lower than that of the latter (t = -3. 670, P =0. 000). There was no significant difference in preoperative clinical conditions (such as location of aneurysms and Hunt-Hess grade) between the two groups. The good outcome rate in the interventional treatment group was significantly higher than that in the surgical clipping group (84. 87% vs. 74. 67%, χ2 = 4. 875, P = 0. 027). There was no significant difference in hospital mortality (5. 33% vs. 3. 94%,χ2 =0. 328, P =0. 567) and complication rate (26.67% vs. 19. 74% , χ2 =2.036, P =0.154) between the surgical clipping group and the interventional treatment group, but the intraoperative aneurysm rupture (10. 67% vs. 3. 95%, χ2 =5.047, P =0.028) and the incidence of postoperative intracranial infection (6/144 vs. 0/152, χ2 = 6.203, P =0.014) in the surgical clipping group were higher than those in the interventional treatment group. The length of hospital stay in the interventional treatment group was significantly shorter than that in the surgical clipping group ([10. 0 ± 7. 0] dvs. [23.0 ± 11. 0] d, Z = -10. 35, P ＜0.001). The median cost of treatment was 95 327.63 %,yuan in the interventional treatment group, and the interquartile range (IQR) was 26 312. 98 yuan; it was significantly higher than the surgical clipping group (median 30 072. 01 yuan, IQR 11 178. 54 yuan) (Z = -14.449, P＜0.001). Compared with the surgical clipping group, while the mRS score improved in the interventional treatment group 0. 10, the cost was about 66 438 yuan, so that the surgical clipping was more cost-effective. Conclusions The efficacy of the intervention treatment of anterior and posterior communicating artery aneurysms is better than that of the surgical clipping The mortality and total complication rate are almost the same with the surgical clipping Thehospital stay is shorter, but the cost of treatment is higher. From an economic point of view, the surgical clipping is more cost-effective.
