Objective To explore the better diagnostic method for acute splenic arteral injury through comparative analysis of CT and DSA. Methods Fifty-seven patients with acute splenic injury were examined by CT and DSA,treated with splenic arterial embolization and then undertook follow up. Results CT examination possessed higher sensitivity and accuracy than DSA in demonstrating splenic parenchymal laceration,intrasplenic hematoma,subcapsuler hematoma,rupture of splenic capsule and combinated injury of intra-abdominal organs,especially in localizing splenic laceration.And there was a high significant difference statistically between the two kinds of examination(?~2=10.71,P

AIM: To establish a fluorogenic quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) method for the routine examination of c-erbB-2 gene expression in breast cancer. METHODS: The c-erbB-2 standard gene was obtained by in vitro amplification of cloned c-erbB-2 fragment in plasmid PGEM-T easy vector. FQ-PCR product was detected by using a 7700 ABI PRISM sequence detector system and c-erbB-2 standard curve was obtained to quantity c-erbB-2 in unknown samples. RESULTS: “S” kinetics curve of FQ-PCR amplification was generated by relating the fluorescence signal intensity (△Rn) to the cycle number. The standard curve of c-erbB-2 was constructed by the linear relationship between the cycle threshold (ct) and the log of starting copy number. The high correlation (0.999) revealed the reliability of FQ-PCR. CONCLUSION: The FQ-PCR is a rapid, sensitive, reliable method for quantity of c-erbB-2 gene expression.

Objective To study blood supply by the internal mammary artery(IMA)for hepatic carcinoma and evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)via IMA. Methods 86 cases of hepatic cancer(HCC)fed by the IMA underwent TACE of the IMA.All of the patients had previously undergone several TACE for HCC.16 patients had undertaken percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy in addition to TAE.4 patients had a history of surgery for upper abdomen.Plain and enhanced CT and MRI scannings were performed before operation.Internal mammary arteriography was carried out during the interventional procedure to clarify the feeding range and then the superselected catheterization of the feeding branch was done with TACE.The IMA angiographic features,tumor location,clinical observation, laboratory tests,imageology were evaluated,and finally were correlated with the angiographic findings of the IMA.Results All lesions were massive type and located at the ventral aspect and subcapsular region of the liver:57 cases in segment 4,5,8,and 29 cases in segment 5,7,8.Recurrent HCCs were supplied by the right IMA in 80 cases,from the left IMA in 5 cases and with the bilateral IMA in 1 case.Lipiodol-TACE of the IMA for HCC can be performed without skin complications in cases of subselective catheterization.Conclusion Tumors located ventrally and superficially in the liver may recruit blood supply through IMA collaterals,often occurring in massive type of HCC after several times of TACE.TACE of IMA is safe and has become technically feasible in almost all patients,although cutaneous damage should be cautious during the interventional procedure.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:816-819)

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the interventional techniques for emergent treatment of iatrogenic renal injuries.Methods Nine patients with iatrogenic renal vascular injuries were treated with superselective renal arterial embolization.The causes of renal injury included post-renal biopsy in 5 patients,endovascular interventional procedure-related in 2,post-renal surgery in 1,and post-percutaneous nephrostomy in 1 patient.The patients presented clinically with hemodynamical unstability with blood loss shock in 7 patienrs,severe flank pain in 7,and hematuria in 8 patients.Perirenal hematoma was confirmed in 8 patients by CT and ultrasonography.The embolization materials used were microcoils in 7 and standard stainless steel coils in 2 patients,associated with polyvinyl alcohol particles(PVA)in 5,and gelfoam panicles in 2 cases.Results Renal angiogram revealed intra-renal arteriovenous fistula in 6 cases,intrarenal pseudoaneurysm in 2 cases,and the contrast media extravasation in 1 patient.The technical success of the arterial embolization was achieved in all 9 cases within a single session.All angiographies documented complete obliteration of the abnormal vessels together with all major intrarenal arterial branches maintaining patent.Seven patients with hemodynamically compromise experienced immediate relief of their blood loss related symptoms,and another 7 with severe flank pain got relief progressively.Hematuria ceased in 8 patients within 2-14 days after the embolization and impairment of renal function occurred after the procedure in 5 cases,including transient aggrevation(n=3)and developed new renal dysfunction(n=2).Two of these patients required hemodialysis.Perirenal hematoma were gradually absorbed on ultrasonography during 2-4 months after the procedures.Follow-up time ranged from 6-78 months(mean,38 months),4 patients died of other primary diseases of renal and multi-organ failures.Five patients are still alive without further intervention,and suffering no more of rebleeding and deterioration of renal function.Conclusions Transcatheter selective renal arterial embolization is safe and effective in the treatment of iatrogenic renal vascular injuries,resulting in permanent cessation of bleeding.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:807-810)

Objective To describe the manifestations of the inferior phrenic arteries(IPA)supply to the pulmonary hemorrhagic lesions and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE)of the IPA.Methods The clinical data and imaging findings of eighteen patients with the additional blood supply to the pulmonary hemorrhagic lesions from the IPA were evaluated retrospectively.The causes of the bleeding were lung malignancies in 9,bronchiectasis in 7,and chronic inflammation in 2 patients.TAE supplementally was performed in patients with IPA supply to the pulmonary lesions,using polyvinyl alcohol particles,gelatin sponge particles,and microcoils.Results Selective arteriogram demonstrates an enlarged IPA,with numerous branches and hypervascularity in all 18 cases, with tumor staining in 9,the contrast material extravasation in 6,and non-specific staining in 2 cases.In addition,IPA-to-pulmonary shunting was found in 9 cases.All the lesions supplying by IPA were adjacent to the pleurae,including adjacent to the diaphragmatic pleura in 11,the mediastinal pleura in 5,and the lateral pleura of the lower lobe in 2 cases.Technical success of IPA embolization was achieved in the 18 cases.Embolization of other nonbronchial systemic arteries(the internal thoracic artery in 7 and intercostal artery in 3)was performed at the same session.All bleeding ceased immediately after supplemental IPA embolization.Follow-up time ranged from 8 months to 4 years.Mild recurrent hemoptysis occurred in 3 patients at 1,2,6 months respectively,after the embolization.These patients were responsive to conservative management.Recurrent bleeding did not occur in 15 patients during the follow-up. Conclusion The pulmonary hemorrhagic lesions,especially adjacent to the diaphragmatic and mediastinal pleurae,can be supplied by IPA,and may result in clinical failure following BAE.Supplemental TAE of IPA is a safe and effective adjunct to BAE in the management of bronchial bleeding supplied by IPA.

Objective To evaluate the influence of right ventricular outflow tract septal ( RVS) pacing with right ventricular apical ( RVA) pacing on left ventricular remodeling and brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP). Methods Sixty patients with indication of pacemaker implantation were randomized into two groups, RVA group and RVS group. BNP was measured with ELISA, and echocardiography was performed to measure the left ventricular end diastolic volume ( LVEDD), left ventricular end systolic volume ( LVEDV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at pre-operation,and after 6,12,24 months pacing. The difference of cardiac remodeling and BNP in the two groups was observed. Results Compared to BNP at pre-operation (( 60. 2 ± 15. 7 ) ng/L) , BNP increased significantly in the RVA group at the 6th,12th and 24th month after operation( ( 108. 2 ±29. 8) , ( 190. 3 ±46. 7) ,(308. 2 ±56. 5)ng/L,respectively) (P <0. 05). In the RVS group,BNP increased only at 24 months after pacing ( (75. 2 ± 15. 8) ng/L vs. (63. 9 ± 15. 1 ) ng/L) (P < 0. 05). There was significant difference on BNP between the two groups. LVEDD,LVEDV increased,LVEF declined at 12 months after pacing in the RVA group,which were not observed in the RVS group. There was significant difference on LVEDD,LVEDV and LVEF in the RVA group (P< 0. 05) between the 12th month and pre-operation,and there were no significant difference in the RVS group (P > 0. 05). Conclusions Compared to RVA pacing,RVS pacing was more beneficial to improve heart function,prevent cardiac remodeling and decline the activation of nerve-endocrine.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of harvesting and using the lungs of cardiac death donor.Methods The lungs from donation after cardiac death (DCD) were harvested and used for lung transplantation.The donors suffered from severe craniocerebral trauma or brain neoplasms and were identified after cardiac death post declaration of brain death.Written consent about DCD was obtained from the consanguinities.The donor lungs were harvested after clinical evaluation of donors with considerable function and after the determination of DCD.The preoperative lymphocytotoxic cross match test was negative,ABO blood type was compatible,and the donors were all suitable for the transplant procedure.Results Two bilateral lung transplantations and one single lung transplantation were performed,with the warm ischemic time being 23,27,and 32 min,respectively.The operative course was uneventful The ICU stay was 31,18,and 26 days respectively,with dramatic improvement of pulmonary function postoperatively.Acute rejection occurred in two cases,which was treated with bolus of corticoids.There were no infection in our 3 patients,and the life quality was satisfactory during the follow-up period.Conclusion The lung from DCD may be one of the available resources used for lung transplantation on the basis of efficient management of the potential donors and clear evaluation of the donors.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in depression relief in the treatment of depressive disorder at the acute stage between the combined therapy of acupuncture and 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) selective serotonini reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the single application of SSRIs and explore the impact on the imbalance of 5-HT and TH1/TH2.

METHODSNinety cases of depressive disorder at the acute stage were randomized into a combined therapy group and a medication group, 45 cases in each one. In the medication group, SSRIs were prescribed forl oral administration, once or twice a day, continuously for 4 weeks. In the combined therapy group, on the basis of treatment as the medication group, acupuncture was combined. The main acupoints were Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (GV 29), Shenting (GV 24), Fengchi (GB 20), Dazhui (GV 14) and Sishencong (EX-HN 1), once every two. days, continuously for 4 weeks. Before treatment, and after the 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment, the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) was used to evaluate the depression severity. Separately, before and after the 4 weeks of treatment, the levels of serum 5-HT, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were determined and compared with those in 45 cases of the healthy group.

RESULTSHAMD score was reduced in the 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment as compared with that before treatment in the combined therapy group (all P<0 01). HAMD score was reduced in the 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment as compared with that before treatment in the medication group (all P<0. 01). HAMD scores in the combined therapy group were lower than those in the medication group in the 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment (all P< 0. 01). Before treatment, in the combined therapy group and the medication group, the levels of serum 5-HT, IL-4 and IL-10 were all lower than those in the healthy group (all P<0. 01); the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were higher than those in the healthy group (all P<0. 01). In the combined therapy group and the medication group, the levels of 5-HT, IL-4 and IL-10 in 4 weeks of treatment were all increased as compared with those before treatment (all P<0. 01), and the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were lower than those before treatment (all P<0. 01). In the combined therapy group, the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in 4 weeks of treatment were lower than those in the medication group, and the levels of 5-HT, IL-4 and IL-10 were higher than those in the medication group (P<0. 01, P< 0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe combined therapy of acupuncture and SSRIs achieves much quicker and more effective re-' sult for relieving depression in the patients of depressive disorder as compared with simple oral administration of' SSRIs, and much more contributes to adjust the imbalance of serum 5-HT and TH1/TH2.
