Objective To explore the evolution and treatment of traumatic subdural effusion(TSE).Methods The clinicsl materials of 66 patients with TSE were analyzed retrospectively.Results 53 patients were cured with comervative therapy,and other patients were evolved into chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH).8 patients with CSDH were cured with surgery and others with conservative therapy.Conclusion Patients with TSE don't need surgery,and then patients with clinical characteristics will be operated when TSE evolves into CSDH.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography(MS 3D-CTA)for vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia(VBD).Methods MS 3D-CTA of 10 patients with VBD were retrospectively analysed.Source images were got by GE Lightspeed pro scanner.Volume rendering(VR)and maximum intensity project (MIP) were adopted to reconstruct 3D images in all cases.Twenty patients were selected as the control group by suspected cerebra[vascular diseases and underwent MS 3D-CTA at the same period.Enumeration data between the patient group and the control group was assessed by Wilcoxon.test.Results There were 2 types of 10 cases with VBD,including simple type(n=4)and saddle type(n=6).Compared with the control group of the length of the basilar artery(B 1,25.60 mm),the deviant degree(Bc,1.20 mm),the height(Bh,1.90 am),the length of the vertebral artery (V1,17.55 mm),the deviant degree(Vc,2.05 mm),and the diameter of BA and/or VA (Bw/Vw,3.05 mm),there is significant difference in the B1 30.20 mm,Bc 7.10 mm,Bh 8.80 mm,V1 23.00 mm,Vc 5.95 mm,and Bw/Vw 5.05 mm(P<0.01,all).Conclusion The clinical performances of VBD is different,MS 3D-CTA is a very effective method for the diagnosis of VBD.

Background:Dissolution therapy is used as an alternative to surgery in patients with gallbladder stone and contraindication for surgery.Finding medicines with optimal litholysis effect and low cytotoxicity is of great importance in clinical practice.Aims:To study the litholysis effect and biological safety of different ethers for gallbladder stones.Methods:Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE),ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE),ethylene glycol mono-tert-butyl ether (ETB),and di (ethylene glycol) tert-butyl ether (DETB),arranged by the order of relative molecular weight,were used to dissolve the gallbladder stones in vitro.Normal human liver cell line LO2 was treated with the above mentioned four ethers,and the cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay for analyzing the proliferative toxicity.Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were administered intragastrically with the four ethers for 2 weeks,and then the serum biochemical indices and histopathology of liver,lung,kidney,stomach,duodenum and jejunum were examined.Results:The litholysis effect of MTBE was the most prominent (P < 0.05);that of ETB and DETB were weaker than ETBE (P < 0.05) but still had a substantial effect.CCK-8 assay showed that ETBE was the most toxic ether (P < 0.05),and the proliferative toxicity of ETB and DETB was similar (P > 0.05).Except for the slightly increased serum AST in MTBE,ETBE and ETB groups (P < 0.05),the four ethers had no significant impact on serum biochemical indices and histopathology of multiple organs of the model rats.Conclusions:The increase of relative molecular weight of ether may reduce its litholysis effect,but meanwhile its biological safety is increased.
