The occurrence of iliac vein compression syndrome(IVCS) has the anatomic factor.IVCS has no specific symptoms and signs.The diagnosis of IVCS is mainly made by venography, intravascular pressure measurement, intravascular ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound,magnetic resonance venography, and CT.Before the occurrence of acute iliofemoral thrombosis,the treatment of IVCS is conservative therapy.The purpose of surgical intervention is to resolve the obstruction and keep the blood flow. The surgery of occluded iliac veins secondary to IVCS is now to be replaced by endovascular reconstruction. IVCS can be treated correctly before the occurrence of iliofemoral thrombosis and its sequelae can be reduced greatly, if the diagnosis of IVCS can be made as early as possible,and the degree of the stenosis of the iliac vein,the characteristics of its hemorheology and hemodynamics can be understood in time.

Objective To observe the inhibitory effects of local co-transfection of tissue-type plasminogen activator(tPA) gene and proliferating cell nuclear antigen antisense oligodeoxynucleotides(PCNA-ASODN) on the intima proliferation and restenosis of autograft artery in rabbits. Methods One hundred and twenty male Zelanian rabbits were randomly divided into four groups(n=30, in each group): control group, PCNA-ASODN group, tPA group and tPA+PCNA-ASODN group. The left and right external iliac arteries (length 1.0 cm) were transplanted reciprocally. The transplanted arteries were respectively soaked in lipofection, PCNA-ASODN, pBudCE4.1/tPA and pBudCE4.1/tPA+PCNA-ASODN solution about 15 minutes. The transplanted arteries were sutured with 9-0 sutures soaked in PCNA-ASODN and pBudCE4.1/tPA solution. Each group were divided into five subgroups(n=6, in each subgroup) according to the sacrifice time (3 d, 7 d, 14 d, 28 d and 56 d after operation). On every sacrifice time point, the vascular specimens were harvested. The thrombocyte assembling and thrombus forming lining vessel wall were observed by scanning electron microscope. The pathological morphology of transplanted arteries were observed under microscope(HE). The intimal areas and stenosis ratio(%) of transplanted arteries were calculate and analyzed statistically among groups by computer system. The mRNA expression of tPA gene in transplanted ressel wall was detected with vevere transcription-PCR(RT-PCR). The number of PCNA positive cells in transplanted vessel wall was counted by SP immunochemisty. Results The mRNA expression of tPA gene in the transplan-ted vessel wall in tPA and tPA+PCNA-ASODN groups was higher than that of the other two groups (P

Objective To investigate the presentation and radiologic findings of acute marchiafava‐bignami disease(MBD) . Methods Three cases of acute MBD who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed ,including the clinical symptoms ,laboratory tests ,imaging examination(such as cranial CT ,magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) ,prognosis .Results Three cases were acute onset .The symptoms may be non‐specific ,such as consciousness disorder ,psychosis ,seizures ,delirium tremor and high fever .The imaging changes in the genu and splenium of corpus callosum could be found ,even in the bihemispheric white matter of all cases .CT revealed low‐density areas ,meanwhile MRI showed iso‐or hypo‐intensity on T1WI and ADC ,hyper‐in‐tensity on T2WI and fluid attenuated inversion recovery and restricted diffusion weighted imaging .The lesions involved in bihemi‐spheric brachium pontis in one case and in the body of corpus callosum in another case .Conclusion Acute MBD may present with various clinical forms ,but have characteristic imaging findings .
