Objective To investigate the causes of the complications occurred after repeated embolization therapy for huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations and to discuss their nursing interventions. Methods A total of 54 embolization procedures were performed in 17 patients with huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The causes of complications were carefully examined and the preventive measures were discussed. The prompt and necessary nursing interventions were formulated in order to prevent the complications or serious consequences. Results Among the total 17 patients, one patient gave up the treatment because of the cerebral hemorrhage which occurred two months after receiving 3 times of embolization therapy. One patient experienced cerebral vascular spasm during the procedure, which was relieved after antispasmodic medication and no neurological deficit was left behind. Two patients developed transient dizziness and headache, which were alleviated spontaneously. One patient presented with nervousness, fear and irritability, which made him hard to cooperate with the operation and the basis intravenous anesthesia was employed. No complications occurred in the remaining cases. Conclusion The predictive nursing interventions for the prevention of complications are very important for obtaining a successful repeated embolization therapy for huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations, which will ensure that the patients can get the best treatment and the complications can be avoided.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect, mechanism and safety of Qingrehuashi recipe in treating chronic superficial gastritis with erosion pertaining to spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome. Methods 84 cases of chronic superficial gastritis with erosion were recruited into a control group and a treatment group randomly, with each groups containing 42 cases. The treatment group was treated with Qingrehuashi recipe, while the control group was treated with Qingweizhitong granule. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The clinical manifestations and signs, gastroscopic results and pathological effects were observed before and after the treatment. Results The total effective rate and curative rate in the treatment group were superior to those in the control group (P<0.05) . Conclusion Qingre Huashi recipe is effective and safe in in treating chronic superficial gastritis with erosion pertaining to spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome. The mechanism might be related to its effects of anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, eradicating Hp, promoting gastric motility and enhancing gastric mucosal barrier.

Objective To investigate a repair method for unilateral complete cleft lip nasal deformities.Methods Based on the fullness of healthy nasal wing,Z-form plasty was designed with a nasal mucous membrane and alar cartilage flap,to prolong its curtate length of the deformed side through overlapping transposition,and then with suspension of the custom-crafted nasal wing to replace its abnormal structure,subsequently,to recover the normal anatomic structure of the nosewing,and to get the nasal deformity repaired.Results A total of 12 patients with the severe nasal deformity were treated by this method.and all had satisfactory results.Conclusion This technique is a good choice for repairing the severe secondary nasal deformity after single complete cleft lip operation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) guided interstitial chemotherapy for the pancreas in canine model. Methods A therapeutic 19gauge needle was inserted into the pancreas with EUS guidance,and seeds with sustained release of 5-iluorouracil were implanted into the tissue. After 14 days of clinical observation,the animals were sacrificed and the tissue response to local chemotherapy was examined. Results All the seeds were implanted successfuUy and no migration was observed. Chemotherapy induced tissue fibrous necrosis was localized in the pancreas without significant complications. The apoptotic index of tissue within 1 cm of the seeds increased.Biochemical parameters were normal in all the dogs. Conclusion EUS-guided implantation of seeds is a safe,simple and minimally invasive technique for interstitial chemotherapy in the pancreas.

[Objective]To study the properties of xenogeneic deproteinized bone (DPB) used as scaffold in the bone tissue engineering and its application to the spinal fusion of the lumbar intertransverse process in a goat. [Methods]The deproteinized bone was derived from an adult pig femoral cancellous bone through physical and chemical treatments.The cell-material complex was observed under the inverted phase contrast microscope to evaluate the adhesion and the growth of the osteoblasts. The experimental model of the spinal fusion in the lumbar intertransverse process was produced in 24 male goats aged 6-8 months, which were divided into 3 groups according to different implant graft. All the samples were harvested at 4,8,12 weeks postoperatively, and a series of examinations were performed, including the radiography and the histomorphological assay.[Results]It showed that The DPB maintained natural pore network system, it hardly had any antigen, so it had good histocompatibility. In the spinal fusion model of lumbar intertransverse process,the cell-material complex could form cartilage and had a new bone formation in a multipoint way, the osteogenic process was almost the same as the auto-ilium osteogenesis and had a good mechanical strength.[Conclusion]The xenogeneic deproteinized bone is a good material in the bone tissue engineering, which can be used as an osteogenesis scaffold and provides a stable fusion.
