Perforator stroke(PS)is one of peri-procedural complications associated with stenting of intracranial arterial stenosis.A lot of perforator arteries are derived from intracranial arteries with difference from coronary arteries,because once the intracranial perforator arteries of crucial regions are occluded,may lead to fatal prognosis.Three hypothesis have been used to explain PS including snow-plowing,stent jailing effect and in-stent neointimal growth.In vivo models,investigators have already found these phenomenas.After much attention been paid on PS,authors have published a report covered with a large amount of cases in 2006. The author figured out that patients with perforator infarct adjacent to the stenotie segment(PIAS)under MRI beforehand would have higher chance occurring PS after stenting of intracranial stenosis.The patients with priority of PS easily are affected by the morphology,location,etiology,sites,the type and equipments.Many yet unsolved problems including the prevention would arouse us to go deeper into for the exploration of the mechanism.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:858-862)

Objective To investigate the developmental characters of neural stem cells(NSCs) in occipital of cortex from human fetal brain at different age.Methods Ninety cases of embryoes at gestational age 16-32 weeks and by induction of labor with water bag were collected for determining distribution,shapes,growth modes and the number of NSCs in the occipital of cortex with immunohisto- chemical method under light microscope.Results It was noted that NSCs existed in the occipital of cortex from human fetal brain at different ages.NSCs mainly distributed in layers of cone cells and inner granule cells.NSCs existed in the occipital of cortex of different fetal age included middling round cells,NSCs had enations from 0 to 1.Nucli were larger than plasm.Each NSC had nucleoli from 2-4 and rarefaction chromatin.Most of NSCs distributed in three growth modes including crowd,cluster and clone,occasionally with a single growth mode among other nerve cells.There were no differences including distribution,shapes,growth modes and the number of NSCs in the occipital of cortex between groups,but,NSCs gradually decreased with increasing of age.Conclusion NSCs exists in the occipital of cortex from different gestational age,and the number of NSCs decreases with increasing of age.

ObjectiveTo compare the diagnostic efficiency of 18F- FDG coincidence SPECT/CT and 99Tcm- MDP whole body bone scan (WBBS) in detecting malignancy.MethodsA total of 71 cases (male 45,female 26,mean age 59.2 ± 15.4 years) with clinically confirmed malignancy underwent both 99TcmMDP WBBS and 18F-FDG coincidence imaging within three weeks.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive and negative prediction value of these two imaging methods in detecting bone metastases were compared based on the results from pathology or clinical follow-up.x2test was used for data analysis.ResultsA total of 350 lesions (including primary,second malignancy and benign disease) in 71 patients were eval-uated.81.7％ (286/350) malignant lesions were identified by either 99Tcm-MDP WBBS (209/350,59.7％ ) or 18F-FDG coincidence imaging ( 141/350,40.3％ ) (x2 =25.65,P ＜ 0.01 ).The imaging findings of osteoblastic,osteolytic,mixed types of bone metastases by99Tcm-MDP WBBS and 18F-FDG coincidence imaging were significantly different (x2 =20.78,2.89 and 9.94,all P ＜ 0.05 ).The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,false-positive,false-negative,positive and negative predictive values for detecting bone metastases by 18 F-FDG coincidence study and 99Tcm-MDP WBBS were as follows:11.72％ ( 15/128),91.67％(22/24),24.34％ (37/152),8.33％ (2/24),88.28％ (113/128),88.24％ (15/17),16.30％ (22/135) ; and 53.91％ (69/128),75.00％ ( 18/24),57.24％ (87/152),25.00％ (6/24),46.09％ (59/128),92.00％ (69/75),23.38％ ( 18/77 ).The sensitivity,accuracy,false-negative,positive-predicting value of the two methods had been significant different (x2 =32.70- 46.21,all P ＜ 0.01 ).When two methods were combined,the diagnostic efficiency could been improved.ConclusionThe 99Tcm-MDP WBBS and 18F-FDG coincidence imaging has a complementary role in detecting bone metastases.

Objective To investigate expression of TPS, VEGF of beast cancer patients and relationship with clinical pathological.Methods 68 cases of breast cancer were selected as experiment group, 36 cases with breast fibroma were selected as control group.TPS and VEGF were detected by elisa of patients before and after treatment.Serum TPS and VEGF levels and TNM staging were compared after operation.Results TPS and VEGF of the experiment group were higher than control group(P<0.05).TPS and VEGF of experiment group after operation were higher than before operation.TPS and VEGF increased with the grade of tumor, but there was no significance between grade Ⅰ and 0.The expression of VEGF in tumor diameter≤2 cm group was significantly lower than >2 cm group(P<0.05).TPS and VEGF of axillary lymph node metastasis group and axillary lymph node metastasis had significant difference(P<0.05).The concentration of TPS was significantly higher than that of estrogen and progesteronepositive group in estrogen receptor negative, progesterone receptor negative (P<0.05).Conclusion TPS, VEGF levels in the serum of breast cancer patients showed high expression, the expression of TPS, VEGF levels related to axillary lymph node metastasis, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum tumor markers and cervical cancer by using Logistic regression, and to further establish the diagnosis model of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) in cervical cancer by using chi-squared automatic interaction detector (CHAID) analysis of decision tree.Methods Total of 581 cases of cervical cancer,342 cases of cervical benign diseases and 341 cases of healthy controls who detected tumor markers in Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang during 2010-2013, were retrospectively studied.The test results of carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), SCC, and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) were reviewed.The Logistic regression were firstly used in screening the related tumor markers of cervical cancer, and then the CHAID method of decision tree was used in determining the values of the related tumor markers on the diagnosis of cervical cancer.The SCC elevated cases of uterine disease from January 2014 to December 2014 were collected to verify the diagnostic value of SCC in cervical cancer patients.Results Logistic regression analysis showed that among the 5 tumor markers which might be associated with cervical cancer, SCC was the only one which had statistical significance between cervical cancer and cervical benign diseases (Wald x2 =22.120,P =0.000), the OR and its 95％ CI was 1.900 (1.454-2.483).With the SCC numerical increases, the proportion of patients with cervical cancer also gradually increased, when SCC ＞ 2.20 μg/L, the positive predictive value was 94.7％.In 284 cases of SCC higher than 2.20 μg/L who considered as uterus related diseases, there were 270 cases (95.1％) who were eventually confirmed as cervical cancer.Conclusion There was a good diagnostic value of SCC for cervical cancer patients.

Objective To investigate effect of anthracyclines of VEGF-C, VEGFR-3, ER and E-cadherin in serum of patients with breast cancer.Methods 43 patients with breast cancer were selected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 40 cases in each group.According to the experimental program based on the treatment, serum VEGF-C, VEGFR-3 levels and breast tissue ER and E-cadherin were detected after the end of the treatment.Results Compared with the control group, VEGF-C, VEGFR-3 levels of the experiment group were lower( P<0.05),ER level was lower(P<0.05) and E-cadherin level was higher(P<0.05).Conclusion the ER, VEGFR-3 and VEGF-C levels in breast cancer patients can significantly decrease the E-cadherin level, and it has a guiding significance for clinical.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of eonnexin 43 (Cx43) and clinicopathologieal characteristics of gastric cancer, and to study the role of Cx43 in peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. Methods Thirty-two patients who had gastric cancer and with peritoneal metastasis had been admitted to Southwest Hospital from January 2000 to December 2008. Gastric cancer tissues, adjacent tissues and metastatic peritoneal tissues were obtained postoperatively, and the expression of Cx43 was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between Cx43 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer was analyzed. All data were analyzed via Spearman rank correlation coefficient, Fisher exact probability and chi-square test. Results The expression of Cx43 was mainly detected in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. The positive expres-sion rates of Cx43 in gastric cancer tissues, adjacent tissues and metastatic peritoneal tissues were 34% (11/32), 100% (32/32) and 94% (30/32), respectively. There were significant differences in the Cx43 expression between gastric cancer tissues and adjacent tissues (X~2=28.350, P < 0.01), and between gastric cancer tissues and metastatic peritoneal tissues (X~2 = 21.989, P < 0.01). The expression of Cx43 did not correlate with age and sex of patients (r = -0.030, - 0.169, P > 0.05), but with tumor differentiation, histological type and lymph node metastasis (r = 0.750, 0.642, - 0.357, P < 0.05). Conclusions There is a decreased expression of Cx43 in gastric cancer tissues and a up-regulated expression of Cx43 in metastatic peritoneal tissues. Cx43 may play a positive role in the peritoneal metastasis.
