For recent two decades,radiofrequency ablation technology(RFA)has made great progress in the field of the treatment for diseases for its distinguishing characteristic of microtrauma,targeted,effective and almost having no side-effect.At the very beginning,radiofrequency ablation was adopted in treating solid tumors,and since then it has been gradually practiced in treating benign diseases of solid organs such as hypersplenism,prostatic hyperplasia and widely used in almost every system of the body.Here,we review its therapic principle,types and clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of interventional thermochemotherapy for VX2 transplanted hepatic tumor model in experimental rabbits.Methods The hepatic tumor model was established in 20 New Zealand rabbits by implanting VX2 tumor cells into the right hepatic lobes of the rabbits.The rabbits were randomly and equally divided into two groups with 10 rabbits in each group:group A (study group)and group B(control group).Via the femoral access,the catheter was placed into the tumorfeeding artery,which was confirmed by DSA.The rabbits in group A received an infusion of 100 ml 5% glucose plus 5-Fu(20 mg/kg)at 60℃ temperature,while the rabbits in group B received an infusion of 100 ml 5% glucose plus 5-Fu(20 mg/kg)at normal room temperature(22-25℃).Before and after the procedure,the tumor size was measured by means of B ultrasonography and the serum ALT was estimated to assess the liver function.The results were statistically compared between two groups.Results After the treatment,the tumor size in group A(study group)became much smaller than that in group B(control group),with P＜0.05.And no significant difference in the serum ALT level existed between group A and group B.Conclusion The interventional thermochemotherapy is superior to interventional chemotherapy in inhibiting VX2 transplanted hepatic tumor in experimental rabbits.

Objective To investigate nursing measures for dacryagogatresia and diabetes patients treated with trepanation using the lacrimal endoscopy .Methods Eighty dacryagogatresia and diabetes patients who were admitted to the Department of Ophthalmology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2013 to February 2015 were divided into the control group ( n=40 ) and the intervention group (n=40) and were treated with trepanation using the lacrimal endoscopy .The patients in the control group accepted normal nursing , while the patients in the intervention group accepted systemically comprehensive nursing based on normal nursing .The effective rate of the operation and the incidence of complications were compared between the patients in the two groups .Results The effective rate in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Effective preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative nursing measures greatly improve the effect of surgical treatments in dacryagogatresia and diabetes patients and reduce or avoid operation complications .

Objective To investigate the abnormal change of gray matter volume in patients with euthymic bipolar disorder Ⅰ (BD-Ⅰ),and to elucidate the relationship between the use of different mood stabilizers and brain structure variations.Methods Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was used to analyze the volume of local gray matter in 35 patients with BD-Ⅰ and 30 healthy controls(HC).The patients were divided into BD-Ⅰ with lithium group and BD-Ⅰ with valproate group according to different mood stabilizers.The volume differences of gray matter of the three groups were compared by one-way ANOVA.Results Compared with HC,BD-Ⅰ patients showed significantly reduced gray matter volume in the medial frontal cortex (MNI (x,y,z):2,34,-18),orbital frontal cortex (MNI(x,y,z):-32,22,-4),frontal operculum (MNI(x,y,z):38,18,4) and insula cortex (MNI(x,y,z):-32,22,-4) (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in thevolume of gray matter between BD-Ⅰ with lithium group and BD-Ⅰ with valproate group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Emotional disturbance in patients with BD-Ⅰ may be associated with reduced gray matter volume in the medial frontal cortex,orbital frontal cortex,frontal operculum and insula cortex.There are not significant difference about the effects of lithium carbonate and valproate on cerebral gray matter volume in patients with BD-Ⅰ.
