Uterine artery embolization(UAE)is a safe and effective method for uterine leiomyomas but its long and middle term effects are definite. Furthermore it bears some exguisite comparision with the conventional therapy but not as a radical one, with a tendency. However, to develop new leiomyomas and recurrence after UAE, there for all patients should be monitored with clinical and imaging examinations for more than 2 years after the procedure. At present,a few literatures involving the factors that could influence the effects of UAE have been issued. It is necessary to carry on large-scale clinical research of the related factors influencing the results of UAE in order to guide clinical practice correctly and swiftly.(J Intervent Radiol, 2006, 15: 503-506)

Objective To provide new diagnose informations for clinician by using image fusion. Methods 30 cases with brain lesion (men 18,women were studied 12). Twenty cases were examined by CT or MR in 1_2 weeks, the others were checked by MR, after being diagnosed with CT. These image data were input into computer the center and main axis of image were located by Legendre moment then the CT and MR images were registered by translation, scaling and rotation. Results Of 30 image fusions, supplementary informations were provided to each other in 28 cases,prediction of disease progress in 19 cases. There were 4 cases confirmed at surgery. But in 2 cases no obvious advantage was obtained by image fusion.Conclusion CT and MR image fusion provides useful information for definitive diagnosis, planning of surgery and radiotherapy. To fuse the images of CT and MR, the Legendre moment approach is direct, simple and fast.

Objective To establish a method for recognizing nasal bleeding sites and hemorrhagic foci of hidden epistaxis.Methods The bleeding sites and hemorrhagic foci,as well as the used surgical techniques and the curative effects were studied retrospectively in 122 patients with spistaxis from Jan.2005 to Oct.2007,in whom the bleeding sites and hemorrhagic foci were not found by routine nasoscope examination.Under nasal endoscopic monitoring,electric heat cauterization(EHC),microwave coagulation(MC) and micro-traumatic nasal packing(MTNP) were applied respectively to treat the hidden epistaxis.Results The hemorrhagic foci were found in the following sites:Olfactory cleft 48 cases(39.3%),superior wall of inferior nasal meatus 20 cases(16.4%),posteroinferior wall of middle nasal meatus 6 cases(4.9%) and so on.Epistaxis was well controlled in 113 of 122 cases(92.6%),in whom the hemorrhagic foci were found by endoscope,by laser soldering,MC and EHC.Packing with mini gel foam was used in 9 cases,for whom the hemorrhagic foci were not found.No complications occurred during a 1-2 months of follow up after treatment.Of the 122 cases,106 cases(86.9%) stopped bleeding by treatment once and 16 cases(13.1%) stopped by treatment twice.Conclusion The lateral or posterior area of middle and inferior nasal meatus,and olfactory cleft area are the frequent sites of hidden epistaxis.Examination with endoscopy,combined with the findings on the middle and inferior turbinate and the features of blood flow in different sites,will be important on recognizing the hidden epistaxis and locating the hemorrhagic foci.

Objective To analyze the reasons of the TB outbreak in that school and to explore strategy of warning and preventing TB in schools.Methods epidemical investigation,screening close-contactors,analyzing and dealing with epidemic situation.Results 51 TB cases were detected from Oct 2003 to Mar 2005,among them,there were 42 acquired TB cases (6 sputum smear positive cases),9 tuberculosis pleurisy cases.30 of them didn't experience any health education about TB control and prevention,and know nothing about TB.Rest of them is not much better.Only tow of them is resisted by school infirmary,7 of 16 students who were diagnosed with TB before screening and took treatment were reported to local CDC.Conclusions Students lack of self-protective ability; administration of school infirmary was not well-organized,so that so many TB cases in a short period couldn't be noticed and the weakness of the report system is the major reason causing the outbreak to be long term and involving so many victims.it is emergency to enforce TB control in schools,and it is crucial to establish TB warning system in schools.
