1.Iatrogenic subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm close to the origin of the vertebral artery: an endovascular strategy
Journal of Interventional Radiology 2006;15(7):445-448
Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm that induced from central venous catheterization through the internal jugular vein is relatively uncommon. However, the management of subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm remains a challenge because of their non-compressibility of deep locality and relationship to important surrounding anatomy, such as the origin of vertebral artery. In this paper, the authors report a patient with larger iatrogenic subclavian arterial pseudoaneurysm near the origin of vertebral artery, that was treated successfully by endovascular covered stent and coils.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(21):3272-3275,3276
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety analysis on the different doses of rivaroxaban in treatment of left ventricular apical thrombus.Methods 87 patients with left ventricular apical thrombus were randomly divided into warfarin group (n =21 ),rivaroxaban 1 group (n =22),rivaroxaban 2 group (n =21 )and rivaroxaban 3 group(n =23).Patients in the warfarin group were given the doses of warfarin 2.5mg once daily,and the doses were adjusted according to INR.Patients in the rivaroxaban 1 group were given the doses of rivaroxaban 10mg once daily.Patients in the rivaroxaban 2 group were given the doses of rivaroxaban 20mg once daily.Patients in the rivaroxaban 3 group were given the doses of rivaroxaban 15mg twice daily for 21d,then followed by 20mg once daily. Patients in the four groups were followed up for 3 months.The percent reduction of D -dimmer at taking drug 3d,D -dimmer normal time,left ventricular apical thrombus disappearing time,the number of disappearance and INR compliance rate were recorded.The occurrences of thromboembolic events and bleeding events in the four groups were recorded. Results The percent reduction of D -dimmer at taking drug 3d in the rivaroxaban 1 group,rivaroxaban 2 group and rivaroxaban 3 group were higher than the warfarin group,and the rivaroxaban 3 group were higher than the rivaroxaban 1 group and rivaroxaban 2 group,the D -dimmer normal time and thrombus disappearing time in the rivaroxaban 1 group,rivaroxaban 2 group and rivaroxaban 3 group were lower than the warfarin group,and the rivaroxaban 3 group were lower than the rivaroxaban 1 group and rivaroxaban 2 group,the differences were statistically significant(F =8.443,19.319,35.475,all P <0.05).The numbers of INR compliance in the rivaroxaban 3 group were higher than those in the warfarin group,the differences were statistically significant[18cases(78.3%)vs.9cases(42.9%),χ2 =5.803,P <0.05].There was 1 case of patient appeared minor bleeding in each rivaroxaban 1 group and rivaroxaban 3 group.The occurrence rates of thromboembolic events and bleeding events in the rivaroxaban 1 group,rivaroxaban 2 group and rivaroxaban 3 group were lower than those in the warfarin group,but the differences were not statistically significant(χ2 =0.732,2.357,all P >0.05).Conclusion Rivaroxaban applied to treatment of left ventricular apical thrombus was safe and effective,and without increasing embolism and bleeding events.And treatment plan of the doses of rivaroxaban 15mg twice daily for 21d,then followed by 20mg once daily was superior.
3.Anticoagulantion of Ischemic Cerebrovascular Diseases
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;0(04):-
Anticoagulation, which has been used in clinical practice since 1940's, is one of the important measures in the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. This article reviews the progress in anticoagulation for ischemic cerebrovascular diseases by introducing a series of large, important, international, randomized controlled clinical trials in the past 20 years (particularly in the recent 10 years).

The changes of skeletal muscle mitochondral monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in rats fed with low Se grains from a Keshan-disease area were observed. The rats were killed at the time for feeding 30, 60 and 90 days respectiely. The mitochondrium of skeletal muscle was isolated MAO activity was determined with fluorescent methed. The results showed that in low-Se group the mitochondrial MAO activity was significantly decreased only at the time for 90 days feeding however GSH-px activity in red blood cells and Se content in plasma were significantly decreased at all experimental period as compared to Se-supplemented or stock died group.

Peacekeeping is a military operation under certain conditions.In the special operations,the military personnel will have a special emotional response,mainly tension.It includes physical and psychological stress,based on the cognition and evaluation of the environment and forms of military activities.The psychological problems of peacekeepers caused by peacekeeping operation have been identified as one of the major reasons for non-combat attrition.Thus,researches on mental health of peacekeepers should not be ignored.So,we reviewed the interaction between peacekeeping operations and peacekeepers'mental health,and a few psychological intervention techniques to provide theoretical and practical basis for serving peacekeepers with mental health.

This paper elaborated that wheelchairs are the most important assistive devices for people with mobility impairment to maintain their health, improve their quality of life and promote their social participation. The situation of low service level was analyzed due to the lack of knowledge, organizations, professionals and products. Based on the foreign standard of practice for wheelchair service, the strategies and steps of wheelchair service provision in China were carried out to arouse the attention of relevant professionals, who could be active participants in wheelchair service practice and research

Objective To determine the preventive effect of Celecoxib on postoperative adhesion formation and its mechanism. Methods We divided 80 SD rats into 5 groups: Groups A, B, C, H and S. Rats in Groups A, B, C and H received the operation of peritoneum rubbing to promote adhesion formation. Group S underwent sham operation. Rats in Group B were given Celecoxib of 40 mg/(kg·d), those in Group C were also given Celecoxib of 20mg/(kg·d), and those in Group H were given sodium hyaluronate (HA) during the operation. On the 8th and 15th postoperative day, half of the rats were sacrificed, the extent of adhesion formation was assessed and the adhesive peritoneum was subjected to immunohistochemistry with VEGF and CD_(34). Results The extent of postoperative adhesion differed significantly among the five groups (P<0.01). Groups B and C had significantly fewer adhesions than Groups H and A. VEGF was expressed most highly in Group A, followed by Groups H, C and B, and most weakly in Group S. CD34 was expressed most highly in Group A, followed by Groups H, C and B, and most weakly in Group S. Conclusion Celecoxib provides durable inhibition of intra-abdominal adhesions in a murine model compared with HA. The mechanism of preventing intra-abdominal adhesion via inhibiting COX-2 is possibly through down-regulated expression of VEGF and reduced microvascular density.
