International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2015;(9):686-690
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 investigate the influence of central aortic pressure and pulse pressure in coronary Artery. Methods The research involed 173 patients who were suspected coronary heart disease (CHD) in the Fifth People′s Hospital of Chengdu city. The patients were divided into non-coronary disease and coronary disease groups. Patients were divided into one- vessel, two- vessels and three-vessels in coronary disease groups. The data were analyzed by using spass 17.0 software. Results SBP-C,DBP-C and PP-C had statistical significance compared with non-coronary disease (P < 0.05).SBP-C and PP-C had significant difference between single-branch and multiple-branch group(P < 0.05).Logistic multivariate analysis indicated that SBP-C [P = 0.019,OR = 1.207, 95%CI(1.032,1.412)]and PP-C [P = 0.023, OR = 1.166,95%CI (1.021,1.332)] had significant correlation. Conclusion Compared with non-coronary, SBP-C and PP-C were higher, while DBP-C was lower. The higher SBP-C and PP-C are,the worse coronary artery is. SBP-C and PP-C are predispose risk factors for multiple-vessels coronary disease.

Objective To explore the surgical skill, safety, and cosmetic outcomes of complete endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants for breast cancer. Methods From August 2004 to September 2007, 31 women with breast cancer received complete endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants in our hospital after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The operation spaces were established by insufflating carbon dioxide after lipolysis and liposuction in the subcutaneous stratum and retromammary space. Subcutaneous mastectomy was carried out under a complete endoscope, sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection, and immediate reconstruction with implants were carried out via axillary small incision. Results The operations were completed in all of the 31 cases. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed on 15 cases (including supplemental axillary lymph node dissection in 8), and immediate axillary lymph node dissection was done in 16 cases. No cancer infiltration on tumor surface or into the nipple basement was observed in frozen sections during the operation. In one patient, the nipple was partly necrotic. No other complications were found in this series. Three months after the operation, cosmetic results were good in 22 cases (71.0%), average in 7 (22.6%), and poor in 2 (6.4%). The patients were followed for 3 months to 3 years (over 1 year in 15 patients), during which no one had metastasis or recurrence of the tumor. Conclusions Complete endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy combined with immediate reconstruction with implants is less traumatic and safe with few complications and good cosmetic result. The method is a good choice for patients with early-stage breast cancer.

Background and purpose: Recent literature has high lighted an important role of inflammation in promoting cancer. CRP (C reactive protein) is a way of building the bridge between inflammation and cancer. We aimed to explore correlations between CRP levels and clinical stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Methods: We analyzed 108 cases, among which 68 cases were NPC, 20 cases were benign inflammatory diseases of nasopharynx, and another 20 were healthy volunteers as control. We detected the level of CRP using immunoturbidimetry (ITM), q test was calculated by SPSS. Results: The mean concentrations of CRP in NPC[(19.8±4.7) mg/L] were significantly increased compared to those in the control group[(6.2±1.8) mg/L], while they were significantly lower than those in benign inflammatory group[(45.6±7.9) mg/L]. In NPC, The mean concentrations of CRP in T4[(25.6±3.9) mg/L] were higher than those in T1[(17.4±5.8) mg/L], T2[(18.6±8.5) mg/L] and T3[(15.6±1.8) mg/L] respectively. The mean concentrations of CRP in N3[(28.0±7.1) mg/L] were higher than those in N0[(17.6±6.8) mg/L], N1[(21.3±5.1) mg/L] and N2[(18.6±5.6) mg/L] respectively. The mean concentrations of CRP in 1V[(25.7±5.5) mg/L] were higher than those in Ⅰ[(14.2±1.9) mg/L], Ⅱ[(16.1±3.9) mg/L] and Ⅲ[(23.0±7.7) mg/L] respectively (P<0.05). There were no statistic differences between the other groups. Conclusion: The serum CRP level is associated with the occurrence of NPC and benign inflammatory disease of nasopharynx. In NPC, the higher the CRP level is, the more advanced the TNM stage will be.

Objective To analyze the protein expression profile of human glomerular mesangial cells (HMCs) under high glucose and to characterize molecular functions and biological processes. Methods HMCs were divided into high glucose cultured group (30 mmol/L) and normal glucose cultured group (5 mmol/L). The total proteins were extracted after culture for 48 hours. The total proteins of the two groups were separated using two-dimensional fluorescence difference in gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) and analyzed using DeCyder 2-D difference analysis software. The differentially expressed proteins were further identified using in-gel digestion with trypsin, of which peptide extracts were prepared for MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. Protein identifications were searched in the NCBI protein database using the Mascot search engine. Results One hundred and forty-seven protein spots whose expression levels were significantly increased or decreased more than 1.5 folds under high glucose were identified. Ninety-six differentially expression protein spots were analyzed by peptide mass fingerprinting and 37 kinds of proteins were identified. The protein spots of phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1 (PEBP-1), granulysin,ATP synthase H + transporting mitochondrial FO complex subunit F2 were observed only in high glucose group. The expression of 24 proteins was up-regulated by high glucose, including eosinophil cationic protein, RGS membrane-interacting proteins 16 (MIR16), peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, disks large homolog DLG2, breast cancer 2, early onset (BRCA2), Catechol-O-methyltransferase etc. The expression of 5 proteins was down-regulated by high glucose, including O-GlcNAc transferase-interacting protein 106 000 isoform 1, proteasome beta 6 subunit precursor,NEFA-interacting nuclear protein NIP30 etc. Conclusions Expression of 147 proteins in HMCs alters under high glucose. These proteins are involved in the regulation of cytoskeleton, glucose metabolism, cell division, gene transcription, signal transduction, phosphorylation, cell proliferation,apoptosis etc. In-depth analysis of these differentially expressed proteins' function and crosstalk is expected to provide an important experimental basis for clarifying the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.

OBJECTIVE:To compare clinical efficacy of Xiaoshi lidan capsules and Ursodeoxycholic acid capsules in the treat-ment of chronic cholesterol gallstone cholecystitis. METHODS:120 patients with chronic cholesterol gallstone cholecystitis in our hospital were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 60 cases in each group. Observation group was given Xiaoshi lidan capsules 1.2 g,po,tid(after the meal);control group was given Ursodeoxycholic acid capsules 250 mg,po,qd(after dinner). Both group received treatment for 6 months. Effective rate of litholysis were observed in 2 groups as well as abdominal pain score [PRI,VAS score,present pain intensity(PPI)],the thickness of gallbladder wall before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups during treatment. RESULTS:3 pa-tients withdrew from the observation group and 1 patient withdrew from the control group. Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in PRI,VAS score,PPI and the thickness of gallbladder wall between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,above index-es of 2 groups were decreased significantly,while PRI,VAS score and PPI in observation group was significantly lower than in con-trol group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The effective rate of litholysis (64.91%) in observation group was significantly lower than in control group (79.67%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). Total effective rate of observation group (57.89%) was slightly higher than that of control group(54.24%),without statistical significance(P>0.05). There was no statistical signifi-cance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Xiaoshi lidan capsules are similar to Ursodeoxycholic acid capsules in clinical efficacy for chronic cholesterol gallstone cholecystitis with good safety,and can be used as optional drug ex-cept for chronic cholesterol gallstone cholecystitis.
