Objective To analyze complications of carotid artery stenting (CAS) and preventions.Methods Clinical data and treatment outcomes of 72 consecutive patients ( 80 stents ) from July 2006 to January 2012 with carotid stenosis were analyzed.Asprin 100 mg and clopedigrel 75 mg were given orally 5 days before CAS.Distal embolic protection device were implanted in all patients,pre-dilatation was done for those with carotid stenosis ＞ 90％ and post-dilatation was done for those of residual stenesis ＞ 30％.Severe complications of CAS mean death,myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke.Other minom included transient ischemic attack ( TIA ),hyperperfusion and intracranial hemorrhage ( ICH ),bradycardia and/or hypotension,hypertension,access hematoma or bleeding.Results In 72 patients a total of 80 self-expandable bare stents were successfully implanted.Distal embolic protection devices were used in all cases.Combined procedure was taken in 5 cases including OPCABG in 2 cases,left subclavain artery stenting in 2 cases and renal artery stenting in 1 case.The overall in-hospital complications was 37.5％ (27 of 72).Of these events,1 case had minor strokes defined as a modified Rankin Scale score less than 3 at 1-year follow-up,2 patients (2.78％ ) experienced a hemispheric TIA (neurological symptoms that resolved within 24 hours),1 patient experienced hyperperfusion syndrome.The overall mortality rate was 0,21 cases (29.2％ ) experienced hemodynamic instability (hypotension in 15 cases,bradycardia in 5 cases and hypertension in 1 case) and 2 others had access hematoms.The 30-day death/stroke/myocardial infarction risk was 1.39％ (1 minor stroke).Conclusions Hemedynamic instability (hypotension and bredycardia) is main complications of carotid artery stenting in patients with carotid artery stenosis,severe complications are rare.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of application of health education model on patients un-dergoing extracorpereal shock wave lithotripsy of urinary calculi. MethodsWe randomly divided 278 patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of urinary calculi into the experimental group(136 cases) and the control group(142 cases).The experimental group received health education according to the model of health education, while the control group adopted routine health education. The treatment effect of lithotripsy after 1 week,2 weeks and 1 month was evaluated. ResultsAfter health education,the cure rate at I week after lithotripsy was 50.7%, which was higher than that of the control group,28.2%, the cure rates at 2 weeks and 1 month were 58.2% and 86.0%, which were better than those of the control group, 49.0% and 70.4%. ConclusionsApplication of health education model can improve the treatment effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of urinary calculi and alleviate pain of patients as soon as possible.

Objective We discussed the influence of health education on uncertainty of patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Methods We divided 60 patients who were to undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithitripsy into the control group and the test group with 30 eases in each group. The test group implement systemic education according to the health education model. The control group received routine health education. Uncertainty about illness was measured by Mishel uncertainty in illness scale (MUIS) on admission, 1 day before lithotripsy and on discharge from hospital in the two groups. Results The illness uncertainty of the test group 1 day before lithotripsy and on discharge from hospital decreased evidently compared with that of on admission (P<0.01). The decrease amplitude was statistically different from that of the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Health education through application of health education model could significantly decrease the illness uncertainty of patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

Objective We aimed to discuss the model of health education for patients undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of urinary calculi and validate its effect. Methods We divided 490 patients who were to undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of urinary calculi into the control group (230 cases) and the test group (260 cases). The test group received health education according to the model of health education. While the control group adopted routine health education method. The ache during operation, treatment effect and incidence rate of complications in the two groups were evaluated and compared. Results The incidence rate of pain, complications and effective rate in the test group was 6.92%, 4.99% and 99.23%, which were better than those of the control group (28.26%, 16.09% and 96.09%), P＜0.01. Conclusions Establishment of the model of health education could improve the treatment effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, reduce the incidence rate of complications and the relase rate of urinary calculi.

Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of ladder-type decompression in preventing acute encephalocele in the operation of severe craniocerebral trauma.Methods The clinical data of 178 patients after operation of severe craniocerebral trauma were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into routine decompression group (75 cases) and ladder-type decompression group (103 cases).The former was treated by routine decompression,and the latter was treated by ladder-type decompression.The efficacy was compared and analyzed.Results The incidence of acute encephalocele and delayed hematoma in ladder-type decompression group were 27.18％ (28/103) and 12.62％ (13/103),in routine decompression group were 54.67％ (41/75) and 26.67％ (20/75),and the differences between two groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).Three months after discharge,21 cases were lost in ladder-type decompression group and 15 cases were lost in routine decompression group.Recovery rate and death rate in ladder-type decompression group were 29.27％ (24/82) and 36.59％ (30/82),in routine decompression group were 15.00％ (9/60) and 55.00％ (33/60),and the differences were statistically significant (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ladder-type decompression can effectively reduce the incidence of acute encephaloceie via the steady release of intracranial pressure,which has positive significance in the improvement of the treatment and prognosis of severe craniocerebral injury.

BACKGROUND: There are some adverse reactions when bone morphogenetic protein-2 is applied independently in clinic; therefore, it is urgent to develop an ideal carrier material to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions induced by bone morphogenetic protein-2. OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively understand the performance of different kinds of bone morphogenetic protein-2 carrier materials, and to summarize their research progress in the field of spinal fusion. METHODS:The literatures about bone morphogenetic protein-2 scaffolds in spinal fusion were retrieved by the first author from PubMed and Wanfang datebase durings July 1, 1995 to July 1, 2015 with the key words of“tissue engineering, bone morphogenetic protein-2, spinal fusion, scaffold” in English and Chinese, respectively. Repetitive studies were excluded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone morphogenetic protein-2 carrier materials mainly include four categories: natural biological materials, synthetic organic materials, synthetic inorganic materials and composite materials, each of which has several representative scaffold materials. Each category has their own shortcomings when applied in animal spinal fusion, for instance, the mechanical properties of natural biological materials are generaly poor; synthetic organic materials may cause inflammatory reactions; the mechanical strength of synthetic inorganic materials is poor and the production process of composite materials is relatively complicated. Therefore, the selection of bone morphogenetic protein-2 carrier materials stil needs further experimental study.

Animal models of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH),aiming to simulate human characteristics of the disease,have contributed extensively to understanding the pathophysiology of PAH and the investigation of experimental treatments.The classical models include monocrotaline models,chronic hypoxia model and so on,more new models were investigated in recent years.These animal models were not able to perfectly mimic human pathological characteristics of PAH because of the defect in different aspects.In this review,both typical and novel methods of PAH modeling were summarized and evaluated to provide a suitable guidance for the settlement of animal models which can meet human characteristics comprehensively.
