Objective To assess the short- and long-term results of patients with Takayasu arteritis underwent intervention therapy. Methods A total of 13 peripheral arteries in 10 consecutive patients with Takayasu disease were treated with percutaneous transluminal interventions. The target vessels included 2 subclavian arteries, 5 renal arteries, 1 abdominal artery, lcarotid artery, 1 lilac artery, and 3 pulmonary arteries. Nine stents were implanted in 8 patients for suboptimal results or dissection. Results Angioplasty and stenting were successful in all attempted lesions. Diameter stenosis was reduced from (90?11)% to (11?12)% ( P

Objective To evaluate the safety, efficacy and short term results of cutting balloon (CB) coronary angioplasty Methods CB angioplasty was performed on 116 lesions in 102 patients (male 90%, age 57 5?11 2 years) Results The overall success rates of the primary cutting balloon angioplasty without predilatation were 94% Combined with small conventional balloon predilatation improves the procedural success rate to 97% 16 cases of in stent restenosis were also treated with CB successfully 72 lesions were treated with CB followed by stents insertion In 44 lesions treated with the CB alone, there was a marked reduction in the luminal stenosis from (80 9?11 6)% to (11 6?5 9)% One patient developed cardial tamponade 3 hours after CB angioplasty, which was resolved with pericardiocentesis One case developed severe dissection after CB angioplasty No abrupt coronary closure, emergency bypass surgery and acute myocardial infarction occurred 10 (9 8 %)patients experienced angina pectoris during 1 to 20 months (average 11 2 months) follow up, there were no further cardiac events in other patients 3 cases of angiographic restenosis were confirmed in 12 patients who underwent follow up angiography Conclusion CB angioplasty is a safe and efficient technique with a high success rate and satisfactory short term results

1?216 kPa(12 atm, 1 atm=101.325 kPa)] or low- (≤1?216 kPa) pressure inflation. Results In group A, all patients were successfully treated with PCI. In group B, 40 cases (95%) were successfully treated with DS, and DS in the remaining 2 patients failed due to an angle in IRL, which were successfully managed with pre-dilation. There were no procedure-related death, re-infarction, or emergency bypass surgery in both groups. The incidence of no-reflow after stenting was significantly higher in patients with high-pressure inflation than in those with low-pressure inflation (32% vs 7%, P

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of slow release paclitaxel eluting stents. Methods The 148 lesions of 71 patients were treated and 171 stents were implanted, of which 132 were slow release paclitaxel eluting stents and were implanted in 102 lesions. Results All except 1 of the slow release paclitaxel eluting stents were successfully implanted. No complications occurred during hospitalization. There were no cardic events and ischemic ECG evidence in 48 patients of the 6 months′ follow-up. Conclusion The efficacy and safety of slow release paclitaxel eluting stents within 6 months have been approved.

Objective To evaluate the safety,efficiency and short-term results of cutting balloon coronary angioplasty.Method This procedure was performed on 63 lesions in 52 patients (male 94%,age 57?9 years).Results The overall procedural success rate for the cutting balloon angioplasty without predilation were 92.1%.Seven out of 9 cases of total occluded lesions had satisfactory results.Two cases of in-stent restenosis were also treated with CB successfully.Forty-three lesions were treated with cutting balloon followed by stents insertion.In 20 lesions treated with the cutting balloon alone,there was a marked reduction in the luminal stenosis from 78.8?11.6% to 7.2?5.6%.One patient developed pericardial tamponade 3 hours after cutting balloon angioplasty,which was resolved with pericardiocentesis.No severe dissection,no abrupt coronary closure,no emergency bypass surgery and acute myocardial infarction occurred.During 6 to 2 months' follow-up,only one patient treated by cutting balloon alone experienced angina pectoris and coronary angiography showed a restenosis, there were no further cardiac event.Conclusion Cutting balloon coronary angioplasty is a safe and effective interventional therapy with a high success rate and satisactory short-term results.

Objective To compare the efficacies of several commonly-used penetrating needling methods in treating post-stroke strephenopodia. Method Eighty-three patients with post-stroke strephenopodia were randomized into four groups, a control group intervened by conventional needling method (n=20), and the rest three groups were additionally intervened by different penetrating needling methods: penetrating group 1 [Qiuxu (GB40) towards Zhaohai (KI6), n=21], penetrating group 2 [Taibai (SP3) towards Shugu (BL65), n=21], and penetrating group 3 [Jiaoxin (KI8) towards Fuyang (BL59), n=21], to compare their effects on the function of ankle and lower extremity. Result The penetrating needling methods and conventional needling method all can significantly improve the function of ankle in patients with post-stroke strephenopodia (P<0.01). The effectiveness of penetrating group 1 was more significant than that of the rest groups (P<0.01), the effectiveness of penetrating group 2 was more significant than that of penetrating group 3 and the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01), and there was no significant difference in comparing the effectiveness between penetrating group 3 and the control group (P > 0.05). The penetrating needling methods and conventional needling method all can significantly improve the motor function of lower extremity in patients with post-stroke strephenopodia (P<0.01). The effectiveness of penetrating group 1 was more significant than that of the other groups (P<0.01), the efficacies of penetrating group 2 and 3 were more significant than that of the control (P<0.01), and there was no significant difference in comparing the effectiveness between penetrating group 2 and 3 (P>0.05). Conclusion Needling from Qiuxu towards Zhaohai and from Taibai towards Shugu can produce significant effects in improving ankle function and the motor function of lower extremity in patients with post-stroke strephenopodia, while needling from Jiaoxin to Fuyang doesn’t have notable advantage compared to the other penetrating needling methods and conventional needling method.

Objective To study the efficacy, safety and tolerance of the therapeutic schedule of GemOx±R regimen suitable for elderly patients with B-cell lymphoma. Methods 11 elderly patients with B-cell lymphoma were enrolled in this study, which were diagnosed by biopsy. All the patients were treated according the GemOx ± R therapeutic schedule as described: rituximab (375 mg/m2 on day 0),gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2 on day 1),oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2 on day 1).Treatment response,therapy related toxic and sideeffect were assessed after inductive and consolidated treatment. Results The median age of 11 patients were 72.18 years(range 55-83 years).The overall response rate(ORR) after inductive treatment was 90 ％(9/10).The ORR of 4 DLBCL patients using GemOx+R as initial treatment was 100 ％. GemOx regimen were used for 4 refractory/relapse patients,and 3/4 patients got PR after inductive treatment.No patient got dose adjustment.The hematological toxicity was controllable and nobody got renal function impairment. Conclusions The GemOx ± R regimen is feasible,tolerable,effective for elderly patients with B-cell lymphoma.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the quality of Isatis indigotica of different growing periods.METHODS:The property and the microscopic characteristics of Isatis indigotica of 1 or 2 growing years were identified and the contents of adenosine,indigo and indirubin were determined by HPLC. RESULTS:Isatis indigotca of 1 growing year showed wide liber and sparsely arranged parenchyma cells while Isatis indigotca of 2 growing years showed narrow liber and tightly arranged parenchyma cells. Without timely open-air drying or proper storage after harvesting,the Isatis indigotca was likely to experience color change of darkening in cross-section,increase of the content of the indigo,and decrease of the contents of adenosine and indirubin. The Isatis indigotica of too short growing period or two growing years were low in contents of adenosine,indigo and indirubin. CONCLUSION:The planting of Isatis indigotica should be standardized and which should be given a quality control to avoid the great quality difference arose from differences of habitat,planting and harvesting,initial processing and storing method,etc.
