Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of ultrasound-localized percutaneous thrombin injection (ULTI) for the treatment of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysm. Methods From January 2000 through October 2001, 5 patients (3 males, 2 females, age range 38～72 years) were found to have a pseudoaneurysm confirmed by ultrasound between 1 and 3 days following femoral arterial puncture. Two patients were associated with diagnostic arteriography and 3 with stent implantation. ULTI was our first choice for the treatment of ablating femoral pseudoaneurysm. All patients following ULTI were restudied within 24 hours. Results All 5 patients were initially treated with ULTI. Thrombin was injected directly into the pseudoaneurysm with a dose of 500 units over several seconds, successful ablation was visualized immediately in 4 patients, the remaining 1 patient needed ultrasound-guided compression treatment of five minutes. Follow-up at the 24th hour showed no recurrent pseudoaneurysm after initial successful ablation in any case. No distal embolization or allergic reaction occurred. Conclusion ULTI is a safe, rapid, well-tolerated, inexpensive and effective noninvasive method for the treatment of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysm and should be considered as first-line therapy.

Objective To analyze clinical differential diagnostics and medication law of CAI Lian-xiang of treating gynecological diseases from theChong-Ren;To provide references for clinical medication. Methods Medical cases of gynecological diseases treated by differential diagnostics from“Chong-Ren”from December 2013 to January 2015 in out-patient department of Xiyuan Hospital of CACMS by CAI Lian-xiang were collected. Excel2007 was used to establish the database, and the frequency and correlation analysis were made on the differentiation, treatment principles, treatment methods, medicine and medical combination by using the large data intelligent analysis system of Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. The results were confirmed with CAI Lian-xiang's academic thought and clinical experience. Results Totally 103 medical cases, 277 diagnosis times, 277 prescriptions and 92 kinds of Chinese materiamedica were included. Although different types of gynecological diseases from theChong-Ren treatment of specific treatment were different, all were related to liver, spleen and kidney;prescription contained 22 high-frequency medicines (>50 times), and the first three medicines were Cuscutae Semen 178 times (64.3%), Angelicae Sinensis Radix 167 times (60.3%), Paeonize Radix 158 times (57.0%). The association analysis results showed 9 combination of Tiaochongren medicine combination group, 11 Qiangchongren meidcine combination group, 4 Zichongren medicine combination group, and 4 Guchuanrenmediicne combination group. Conclusion CAI Lian-xiang believes that gynecological diseases are closely related to “Chong-Ren”, and treatment from“Chong-Ren”focuses on the adjustment and nourishment of liver, spleen and kidney. The data miningresults of medication law is accordance with the relevant academic thoughts, which can provide references for clinic.

Objective To research the expression of the estrogen receptor alpha ( Erα) and estrogen receptor beta ( Erβ) in uvea tissues of the female rats, and to provide molecular biology data for further studies of the relation estrogen to uvea diseases. Methods Twenty-two adolescent SD female rats were selected. All rats were killed by dislocation of cervical vertebra, the eyeballs were in paraffin imbedding and made to a series of sections, using immunohistochemical method;Erα and Erβ distribution were investigated in uvea tissue of rats;and quantitied by Tanaka scores analytical method. The uteri of rats was used as positive control and PBS as negative control. The level of estradiol in serum of the rats were examined by radioimmunoassay. Results The expression level of Erβ was moderate or highter in stroma cell, anterior pigment epithelium as well as pasterior pigment epithelium of the iris, unpigmented epithelium, pigmented ciliary epithelium and vascular endocemet of the choroid layers. But Erα was not obviously expressed in uvea tissues. The expression rate of Erβ was higher than Erα in these tissues(P＜0.05). Immnoreactivity positive substance was granule, which was distributed in the cytoplasm or in the nucleus. The level of estradiol in serum of the rats was (22.13±3.54)ng/L.Conclusion The expression of either Erα or Erβ in uvea tissues of rats is mainly in Erβ. The results indicate that uvea tissue is regulated directly by estrogen throught Erβ.

Objective To analyze the causes of early death in elderly patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis ( MHD) and major risk factors.Methods A retrospective study was conducted.Fourty-three patients who had undergone MHD between January 2005 and December 2015 and died within 3 -12 months after hemodialysis in the Hemodialysis Center of China Aerospace Center Hospital were included in Group A while 106 patients who had undergone hemodialysis in the same period but survived for over 12 months were selected as control group(Group B).Results The main causes of early death of 43 elderly patients with MHD were cardiovascular ( 46.5%) and cerebrovascular diseases ( 25.6%) (CCVD), and infections(14.0%).The age,proportion of patients with diabetes and CVD,and the proportion of patients using the central venous catheter( CVC) as vascular access were higher in Group A,but the level of hemoglobin and serum albumin was lower.Indicators of cardiac structure and function showed that the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd),left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWT),and left ventricular myocardial quality index(LVMI)in Group A were well above those in Group B, but EF and E/A ratio were significantly lower(P<0.05 and P<0.01).COX regression analysis indicated that the comorbidity with CVD, a lower level of serum albumin and EF were the main risk factors for early mortality in elderly patients under MHD.Conclusion The main cause of early death in elderly MHD patients is CCVD.The comorbidity of CVD, malnutrition and decreased left ventricular systolic function might be the main risk factors for early mortality in elderly MHD patients.Early and adequate dialysis,active treatment of underlying diseases, and the correction of hypoalbuminemia can decrease complications,prolong life and improve the quality of life.
