0.05). Minor hematoma occurred in four patients with transradial approach and in 59 with transfemoral approach (1.46% vs 17.78%, P0.05), and two patients required blood transfusion in group F. None of the patients suffered from pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, and ischemia of the hand. Conclusion Coronary angioplasty can be performed safely using the transradial approach with relatively few vascular complications and with better patient′s comfort.

Objective To investigate the expression of WNK1 and WNK4 genes in the mouse kidney. Methods The probes corresponding to the genes were amplified by RT PCR from mouse kidney, and then Northern blotting was performed on mouse multiple tissues membrane. The fragments were cloned into pGEM T vector,the correct plasmids were linearized and transcripted into RNA probes in vitro. In situ hybridization was performed on the mouse kidney sections. Results WNK1 gene was widely expressed in mouse tissues. There was a 9 5 kb strong signal in kidney. WNK4 gene was mainly expressed in kidney and had a 4 4 kb signal. In situ hybridization showed WNK1 gene was mostly expressed in the distal convoluted tubule whereas WNK4 gene was expressed in the medullary collecting ducts besides the distal convoluted tubules. Conclusion Both WNK1 and WNK4 genes were expressed in kidney. WNK4 was expressed more widely than WNK1 in mouse kidney.

Objective To study the relationship between the changes of ten elemental contents in serum and schizophrenia.Methods Calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn) in serum in the of schizophrenic patients and normal subjects are measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer, compared the content of elements between the schizophrenia and normal.Results There were significant differences ( P<0.05) in other elements between two groups except lead.The contents of Ca,Fe,Mg,Zn,As,Se,Cu in the patients with schizophrenia were significantly lower than those in control, while Al, Mn were significantly higher than those in control.Most of elements in serum between case and control groups were correlated (P<0.05).Some of element ratios which have physiological significance were significant statistically (P<0.05), such as: Ca/Mg, Ca/Fe and so on.Conclusion These findings suggest that the patients with schizophrenia might have an abnormal elemental metabolism.Given the relationship among the elements, the element ratios are more valuable in reflecting the relationship between schizophrenia and elements.

Objective To explore effect of propofol or sevoflurane combined with dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive function , erythrocyte sedimentation rate and oxidative stress in patients with bone tumour .Methods 52 cases with bone tumor and requiring a surgery were selected and divided into sevoflurane group and propofol group randomly.The sevoflurane group were anesthetized with sevoflurane and dexmedetomidine.Propofol group were anesthetized with propofol and dexmedetomidine.The cognitive function score, recovery time, sedimentation value and oxidative stress level were compared after operation.ResuIts Compared with propofol group at the same time, the cognitive function score of patients in sevoflurane group at postoperative 6, 12, 24 h were higher (P<0.05) and restored to preoperative levels at postoperative 24 h (P<0.05) .The recovery time of spontaneous breathing, eyes open, remove endotracheal intubation and directional force in sevoflurane group were shorter than that in propofol group (P<0.05).Compared with propofol group at the same time, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in sevoflurane group at postoperative 5, 10d were lower (P<0.05) and restored to preoperative levels at postoperative 10 d (P<0.05).Compared with propofol group postoperation, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA) levels in sevoflurane group were lower, total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) level was higher (P<0.05).ConcIusion Sevoflurane has a smaller effect on postoperative cognitive function than propofol in patients with bone tumor, combined with dexmedetomidine, which has an important significance to clinical surgery.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided transvaginal radiofrequency ablation in the treat ment of symptomatic uterine fibroid.Methods:39 patients with symptomatic uterine fibroid underwent transvaginal radiofrequency ablation therapy were selected Before treatment,the fibroid size and volume were measured using ultrasound.The fibroid-related symptom severity and quality of life were scored using uterine fibroid symptom and quality of life survey.The fibroid volume reduction rate,improvement in clinical symptom and quality of life,and ovarian function of patients were observed before treatment and at three,six,nine and 12 months after treatment.Results:The average operation time of radiofrequency ablation was 25 minutes.There was no clear intraand postoperative complication.Preoperative fibroid volume was 65.2± 49.3cm3,which was reduced to 32.2± 27.6 cm3,21.2± 18.2 cm3,15.3± 12.1 cm3 and 10.3± 9.8 cm3 at 3,6,9 and 12 months after treatment,respectively(P＜0.05).The symptom severity score (SSS) was 60.23± 13.2 before treatment,and gradually decreased to 42.2± 11.4,21.1± 10.2,15.4± 10.3 and 12.2± 9.7 at 3,6,9 and 12 months after treatment(P＜0.05).The quality of life (QOL) score gradually increased from 58.24± 16.24 before treatment to 70.3± 20.3,81.4± 8.6,86.3± 7.6 and 88.2± 9.1 at 3,6,9 and 12 months after treatment (P＜0.05).The levels of follicle stimulating hormone,luteinizing hormone and estradiol at 3,6,9 and 12 months after treatment showed no difference compared with these before treatment (P＞0.05).Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided transvaginal radiofrequency therapy was a minimally invasive,safe,and effective therapy for symptomatic uterine fibroid.
