Objective To observe and analysis the features of images of fundus fluorescein angriography (FFA) in low-perfused retinopathy caused by cephalo-cervical peripheral vascular stenosis or occlusion. Methods The results of FFA of 27 patients diagnosed with carotid artery stenosis or occlusion by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and examination of Doppler and vascular-pulsation were retrospectively analyzed. Result All of the patients had a delayed arm-retinal circulation duration from 20.0 to 81.08 seconds with the mean of 32.1 seconds; a delayed retinal arteriovenous filling duration from 6 to 64.0 seconds with the mean of 24.2 seconds. Delayed arm-retinal circulation duration and retinal arteriovenous filling duration in 10 cases (37.0%); microangioma, vascular wall staining, nonperfused capillary area in 11 (40.7%); and anterior ischemic syndrome in 6 (22.2%) were found. In the 6 patients with anterior ischemic syndrome, 4 cases had narrow retinal artery, segmental changes of blood stream, vascular atresia, and abnormal arterio-venous anastomosis, and 2 cases had bold vascular loops. Conclusions The main manifestations of FFA in patients with low-perfused retinopathy are malperfusion and retinal ischemia, whose degrees relate to the extend of carotid artery stenosis or atresia, and the process of the disease.Serious retinal ischemia may combined with anterior ischemic syndrome.

Objective: To screen the Hub genes associated with the occurrence and development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to analyze their biological functions by using various bioinformatics analysis tools. Methods: ESCC chip profile GSE100942 from GEO database was used as study subject; GEO2R tool was used to analyze the data and to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and the bioinformatics tools (DAVID, String, Cytoscape) were further used to construct protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and identify the key Hub genes. GO and KEGG were used for the biological function enrichment analysis. In the meanwhile, MiRDB was applied to identify the miRNAs that might regulate Hub genes and to construct Hub gene–miRNA network. Importantly, the expression of DEGs and the patient survival were verified by the GEPIA analysis tool. Results: By analyzing GSE100942 database, a total of 1229 DEGs with difference of 2 times and 223 DEGs with difference of 4 times were screened out. In addition, 20 Hub genes, which were all up-regulated in ESCC tissues, were also identified. The functional enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs were mainly enriched in cancer related pathways and involved in cell division and mitotic nuclear division. Among those 20 Hub genes, DLGAP5, BUB1B, TPX2, TTK, CDC20, CCNB2, AURKA and DEPDC1 were identified as 8 key Hub genes that related with ESCC, and involved in many important biological processes, such as cell proliferation, cell cycle and signal pathway. Five Hub genes, CEP55, ECT2, NEK2, DEPDC1 and NUSAP1, were identified to be highly regulated by the miRNA regulatory network. Conclusion: Microarray combined with bioinformatics can effectively analyze the DEGs associated with the occurrence and development of ESCC. The identification of the 20 Hub genes and the 8 key Hub genes can provide theoretical guidance for further research on the molecular mechanism and molecular marker screening of ESCC.

Objective To detect the changes of hemodynamics in patients with portal vein embolization (PVE) before surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and analyze the relationship between hemodynamics and liver hypertrophy. Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who were admitted to the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital from April 2008 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Relevant hemodynamic variables were detected and analyzed before and 3, 7, 14 days after PVE. Data were processed using Student t test or linear correlation analysis. Results The main portal vein pressure after PVE was (25.9 ± 4.1 ) cm H2O ( 1 cm H2O = 0.098 kPa), which was ( 3.5 ± 2.5 ) cm H2O higher than that before PVE [( 22.4 ± 4.1 ) cm H2O] ( t = - 6. 504, P < 0.05 ). The blood flow velocity in the non-embolized branch of portal vein increased after PVE, and reached peak [(26 ±9)cm/s] at the seventh day after PVE. A positive correlation was found between the hypertrophic rate of the non-embolized lobes and the ratio of embolized lobes to total liver volume ( r = 0. 593, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion Greater scope of the embolized vascular bed of portal vein induces higher hypertrophic rate of non-embolized liver.

Objective To evaluate endovascular management for isolated iliac artery aneurysm (IIAA). Methods From May 1997 to Jan 2006, 15 IIAA cases underwent endovascular treatment, including 12 true aneurysms and 3 psudoaneurysms. There were 9 common iliac artery aneurysms (CIAA), 3 internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAA) , and 3 external iliac artery aneurysms (EIAA). The average diameter was (5. 97?1. 49) cm (3. 5-9. 0 cm). IIAA was treated with metallic coils and CIAA/EIAA by stent-grafts. Results Unilateral internal iliac artery was preserved in 14 cases, and bilateral internal arteries were preserved in one case. Postoperative endoleak was found in 2 cases. There was no other major complications nor mortality. One case suffered buttock claudication because of internal iliac artery exclusion. The operation time was 1. 9?1. 1 h, blood loss was 126. 7?70. 1 ml. Patients were up and about after 2. 1?1. 1 d, hospital stay was 5.5?4.7 d. Conclusions Endovascular treatment is safe and effective for isolated iliac artery aneurysm. Internal iliac artery preservation and prevention of endoleak is of great importance.

Objective: To explore the influencing factors of slow blood flow phenomenon after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Clinical and PCI angiographic data of 488 patients, who were diagnosed as AMI and received primary PCI in our hospital from Jan 2010 to Jun 2011, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into slow blood flow group (n=51, TIMI flow ≤ grade 2) and normal flow group (n=437, TIMI flow= grade 3). Their clinical characteristics between two groups were compared. Results: Compared with normal flow group, there were significant reductions in percentages of thrombus aspiration (75.3% vs. 60.8%) and application of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist (81.7% vs. 68.6%) during PCI, and significant rise in total length of implanted stents [(31.8±12.2) mm vs. (35.7±12.0) mm] in slow blood flow group, P<0.05 all. Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that percentages of thrombus aspiration during PCI and total length of stents were independent influencing factors for slow blood flow (P<0.05 both). Conclusion: Percentages of thrombus aspiration and total length of stents during PCI are independent influencing factors for slow blood flow.
