Since the 1960s,endovascular coil embolization has gradually become another treatment for intracranial aneurysms in addition to craniotomy clipping surgery,and in recent years,it has become the preferred method for many neurologists.However,the complexity of intracranial vascular anatomy and the diversity of intracranial aneurysm make the coil embolization alone unable to meet the needs of all intracranial aneurysms.And then some novel materials and techniques emerged,such as coated coils,balloon-assisted embolization,stent-assisted embolization,and covered stents.The principle of covered stents for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms is to place a kind of stents with bio-physical barriers into the parent arteries,while maintaining the patency of the parent artery,thus isolating aneurysms,leading to thrombogenesis inside and finally curing the lesions while maintaining the patency of parent arteries.It has huge advantage in the treatment of wide-necked,huge,dissecting and pseudo aneurysms without important adjacent branch vessels.This article reviews the application situation and the prospects of development of covered stents in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Ovarian cancer is one of the highest mortality rate of gynecologic malignant tumors. Chemotherapy can improve the survival rate of the traditional ovary. In recent years, PARP [poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase]inhibitors in breast cancer susceptibility gene (breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA) mutations in patients with ovarian cancer can significantly improve the disease-free survival, may change the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer. This part of PARP [poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase] inhibitors, inhibiting the repairment of DNA damage in tumor cell, causing DNA damage accumulation, eventually killing tumor cells.In breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (breast cancer susceptibility gene1, BRCA1)/BRCA2 mutation patients with ovarian cancer, PARP inhibitors and BRCA mutation of the synthetic lethal effect provides a new direction for the development of anti-cancer drugs. Now, many highly selective and sensitive PARP inhibitors have been developed and applied in clinical trials.Although PARP inhibitor monotherapy can produce a therapeutic effect in BRCA mutation in patients with ovarian cancer, but the clinical application is still used in combination with other chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This review is focused on the recent progress in clinical trials of PARP inhibitors in combination with common chemotherapeutic agents.

Objective To study cortactin function in cancer cell endocytosis.Methods We applied cortactin siRNA interference to MDA-Mb-231,a human breast adenocarcinoma cell line in which cortactin was over-expressed,and introduced anti-cortactin immunoreagents into the cells with BioPorter system to interfere with cortactin function in vivo.Capture-ELISA assay was used to measure transferrin uptake.We used immunoblot assay to assess the effect of cortactin knock-down and immunoflurescence microscopy to examine the effect of cortactin down-regulation on transferrin uptake.Results Interference of cortactin function in cells resulted in impairment of transferrin endocytosis.Transferrin fluorescent intensity in cytoplasm in cortactin siRNA treated-cells was significantly reduced in comparison to that of mock-treated cells.Less than 50% of cells subjected to cortactin siRNA treatment had normal transferrin uptake.Endocytosis in MDA-Mb-231 cells introduced with cortactin antibodies was impaired as well,showing a 30%～ 60% reduction in transferrin uptake.Conclusion Crtactin,an actin-binding protein,plays an essential role in cell endocytosis.

BACKGROUND:A high incidence of deep vein thrombosis after total hip replacement does great harm to patients,so it is necessary to look for a safe and effective prevention program after total hip replacement to reduce the harm of deep vein thrombosis.OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence of comprehensive prevention scheme on deep vein thrombosis after total hip replacement.METHODS:102 cases undergoing total hip replacement were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 51 cases in each group.Patients in the observation group received the comprehensive prevention program,which is composed of three interventions: sequential cross combined with low molecular heparin,intermittent pneumatic pressure therapy and continuous femoral nerve block analgesia.In the control group,patients received low-molecular-weight heparin for anticoagulation therapy by the doctor according to his clinical experience,or intermittent pneumatic pressure therapy.The occurrence and distribution of deep vein thrombosis were compared in patients of both groups.At the same time,platelet and hemoglobin were recorded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the observation group,three patients suffered from deep vein thrombosis with an incidence of 6％.In the control group,11 patients affected deep vein thrombosis,with an incidence of 22％.There were significant differences between the two groups (P＜ 0.05).No significant difference in constituent ratio of the distribution of deep vein thrombosis was detected in the distal vein and proximal vein in patients of both groups (P＞ 0.05).Hemoglobin value was lower at 1 day after surgery compared with that pre-operation in the two groups (P＜0.05).Platelet value was lower at 1 day after surgery compared with that pre-operation in the two groups (P＞0.05).No significant difference in hemoglobin and platelet values was detected between two groups at 1 and 6 days after surgery (P＞ 0.05).Results indicated that the comprehensive prevention program containing the sequential and cross combined with low molecular heparin,intermittent pneumatic pressure therapy and continuous femoral nerve block analgesia can significantly reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis,and no serious complications occurred,and the effects are affirmative and reliable.

Objective To compare the clinical application between peripherally inserted central catheterization(PICC) and subclavian central venous catheterization in severely ill patients.Methods A prospective study was carried out in 80 severely ill patients who had been randomly divided into two groups: receiving either PICC(PICC Group,40 patients) or subclavian central venous catheterization(Subclavian Group,40 patients).The success rate,the puncturing time,and the incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups were observed.Results The rate of successful puncture on one session was higher in the PICC Group(92.5%) than in the Subclavian Group(75.0%)(?2=4.501,P=0.034).And as compared with the Subclavian Group,the PICC Group reported a shorter puncturing time(15.7?5.3 min vs 23.9?6.3 min;t=-6.263,P=0.000) and a lower rate of adverse reactions(10.0% vs 27.5%;?2=4.021,P=0.045).Conclusions Use of peripherally inserted central catheterization is simple and safe to perform,superior to subclavian central venous catheterization.
