It was concluded that TCM paid attention to strengthen body resistance in gastric cancer treatment. It can also be combined with drugs for invigorating blood circulation and stasis, heat-clearing and detoxification, dispersing phlegm and stasis, as well as regulatingqi stagnation depending on the syndrome.

Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the stent-assisted coil embolization for the treatment of wide-necked anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms. Methods From November 2011 to November 2014, the clinical data of the patients with wide-necked ACoA aneurysms treated by using the stent-assisted coil embolization were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical and radiographic effects were summarized. The perioperative complications were focused on. Results The ACoA wide-neck aneurysms of 29 patients were treated with stent-assisted coil embolization. Two of them abandoned the interventional treatment because of stents could not be in place and release. The immediate results of interventional treatment showed that 21 were embolized completely (78% ), 5 were near totaly embolized (19% ), and 1 was partialy embolized (3% ). Three patients had intraoperative thrombosis (recanalization achieved after thrombosis, one of them died of cerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis). One patient suffered cerebral angiospasm, one had aneurysm rupture, and one had distal rupture of the anterior cerebral artery. Twenty-seven patients received clinical folow-up, and the folow-up time ranged from 2 to 36 months (mean 17 months). None of the patients had hemorrhagic or ischemic complications. Sixteen patients received imaging folow-up, and the folow-up ranged from 6 to 12 months (mean 7 months). None of the aneurysms had recurrence. Conclusions Stent-assisted coil embolization of wide-necked ACoA aneurysm is overal feasible, safe, and effective although there are certain risks.

Objective To assess the effect of cryopreservation of cornea in glycerol,to analyze the protective effect of sodium hyaluronate on corneal endothelial cells(CEC) during preservation,and to find out a convenient and cheap method for the storage of cornea.Methods 20 rabbit corneas were divided into two groups randomly.The corneas of control group were stored directly in pure glycerol at-25℃,while in the experimental group sodium hyaluronate was evenly anointed on the corneal endothelial surface of the cornea before being cryopreserved in glycerol.2 months later,the effect of preservation for both groups was examined with trypan blue combined with alizarin red staining(viability staining) for corneal endothelial cells,electron-microscope examination for preserved corneas,and rabbit experimental penetrating keratoplasty(PKP) with the long-term cryopreserved corneas from both the experimental and control groups.Results CEC viability could be preserved by both methods.CEC trypan blue combined with alizarin red staining(viability staining) showed that the CEC density of cornea in the experimental group was 3 067.9?127.6/mm2,which was higher than that of control group(2 899.9?134.0/mm2).The mortality of CEC in experimental group was 4.2%?3.4%,lower than that in control group(13.8%?2.2%).Suceessful rate of PKP was higher in the experimental group with higher CEC density.Conclusion Cryopreservation with glycerol can preserve the viability of CEC.Sodium hyaluronate can reduce the damage to endothelium in the preserving procedure and can obviously improve the effect of preservation.The improved cryopreservation of cornea with glycerol may be a convenient,economic and effective method for eyebank.
