Cerebral vasospasm is the leading cause of disability and death in patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage,and there is no definitive and effective treatment for it yet.Triple-H therapy is now the first choice in the treatment of cerebral vasospasm,but there are still more controversies about it. In recent years,there have been a number of studies about Triple-H therapy. This article reviews the implementation of Triple-H therapy,fluid selection,and prophylactic application.

Pathological changes of uterine fibroide after transcatheter uterine artery embolization(TUAE) has been proven with regular pathological change during the elapse time after TUAE resulting in fibrotic proliferation. Inflammation took place first, followed by coagulation necrosis and hyaline degeneration but incomplete in most cases and finally with proliferative fibrous tissue formation. These dynamic changes of pathology are basis for fibroid volume reduction and recurrences. The factors affecting the extent of fibroid necrosis included tumor size,position and elapse of duration after TUAE. Inflammation was found in normal uterine tissue after TUAE but no necrosis occurred. The finding of embolization agent in peripheral vessels of adnexa may suggest future possible damage of function in ovary and fallopian tube. (J Intervent Radiol, 2006, 15: 507-509)

Current status, questions and challenges of transcatheter uterine artery embolization(UAE)in the treatment of uterine fibroids were summarized and analysed. It has been proved that UAE presents a good effectiveness in controlling the symptoms and shrinkage of fibroid and uterine volumes during follow-up of 4 to 6.9 years domestically and abroad, but relapse of the fibroid may however occur in 2 years or longer after UAE. Generally speaking,UAE is safe in the treatment of uterine fibroids but has a possibility of serious complications. UAE has no damage on normal uterine tissues but may affect pregnancy and delivery of patients significantly later on the cause of hypoxia and inertia of uterus. UAE may cause amenorrhea in the minority of women with ovarian failure and endometrium atrophy. The current questions are how to improve long-term efficiency to reduce relapse of tumor and to insure the safety of UAE. It is our further task to exploit more new effective and safe embolic agents by using animal and clinical study on the basic knowledge of pathology, pharmacology, biochemistry, endocrinology and molecular biology.

Objective To investigate the association between SERPINH1 gene expression in gastric cancer tissue with the pathology and prognosis and its action mechanism in gastric cancer.Methods The gastric cancer data in the TCGA and GEO public databases were collected,and the retrospective analysis and survival analysis were conducted on the SERPINH1 expression data of the tumor tissue samples and related clinical information;the gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA) was used to analyze the SERPINH1 expression related functional gene sets and to investigate the SERPINH1 action mechanism.Results In 421 cases of gastric cancer sample,the SERPINH1 expression level had no significant differences with the tumor grade,N stage and metastasis.However,its high expression was significantly correlated with the tumor invasion depth(T stage)(P=0.049).The higher the expression level,the preater the invasion depth.In the survival analysis,the patients with high SERPINH1 expression showed a poorer prognosis than those with low SERPINH1 expression[P<0.001,HR(95%CI):1.97 (1.61-2.41)].The gene set enrichment analaysis found that the related gene sets such as tumor signal pathway and tumor microenvironment were enriched in the SERPINH1 high expression samples.The gene expression chip data in 69 cases of gastric cancer and paracancerous tissue also suggested that SERPINH1 was highly expressed in gastric cancer (P<0.000 1) with a greater diagnostic value (AUC=0.988 1).Conclusion High expression of SERPINH1 is correlated with the occurrence and development of gastric cancer,and has a greater clinical significance.

Objective To investigate the pathologic basis of intrahepatic biloma formed in the patients with hepatocellulr carcinoma (HCC) after interventional treatment and to assess its clinical significance. Methods Three hundreds and fifty cases of HCC were followed up with CT examination after TAE/PEI, 11 cases received percutaneous bilomography, 10 cases received percutaneous biopsy, and 1 case had surgical resection. All cases of biloma underwent external drainage of bile or ethanol ablation. Results 11 cases of biloma were found (11/350), and all of them displayed a cystic dilation (11/11), 4 cases showed a columnar dilation with indefinite border (4/11), and 3 cases accompanied with a “soft rattan sign” of intrahepatic bile ducts (3/11). The pathologic findings included necrosis on the wall of the biliary tract, extravasation of bile, and infiltration with inflammatory cells. After the external drainage or the ethanol ablation, jaundice had been decreased and symptoms relieved (9/11). Conclusions Biloma is one of the complications of the patients with HCC after TAE/PEI caused by the necrosis of the wall of biliary tract, the correct diagnosis depends on the imaging procedures and biopsy. It is helpful to the further treatment to distinguish biloma from residual nidus of carcinoma. External drainage, stent placement, and ethanol ablation may be the choice of management.

Objective To establish a new renal cancer cell line so as to provide an useful tool for the basic research of renal cancer. Methods A renal tumor specimen sized 1.0 cm?1.0 cm was excised and inoculated subcutaneously into the right posterior leg of three nude mice.After three passages in the nude mouse,the tumor tissue was cultured in vitro. Following the reference, the identification of cell line were fulfilled. Results Two of the transplanted tumors grew in the nude mice and then part of the tumor was cut and inoculated again into nude mouse for another two generations. The tissue cultured in vitro was followed and finally a stable growth renal carcinoma cell line was established without change of morphological structure and differentiation. The mode rage of chromosome has been 62～68 (75%) and the cycle analysis showed G1 63.8%, G2 11.4% and S1 24.8%.The doubling time has been 37.7 hours.The tumor cell can secrete IL 6 continuously. Conclusions The renal carcinoma cell line RCC 9863 was identical to the primary cancer cell in biological characteristics.It has been cultured in vitro continually for more than one year with its characteristics remained.So,RCC 9863 is considered to be a stable cell line.

Objective To establish a SOI model of human renal carcinoma and a high metastatic cell subline. Methods A human renal cell line RCC-9863 has been established by inoculating a human renal tumor tissue into nude mice s.c..When RCC-9863 passaged for 20 times,the tissue from the same xenotransplant tumor were used to construct SOI model.Cultured the metastatic tissue in vitro,the tumor cell suspension was then injected orthotopically.The metastatic tissue obtained underwent the same procedure again.At last,the metastatic tumor was cultured in vitro and cloned. Results 15 days later, a tumor mass sized 1.7 cm?0.6 cm in the nude mouse's renal parenchyma was grown which lobulated,rude,and with multiply blood vessels and 55 days later the mouse became moribund and metastases in the lungs were formed.The transplanted renal tumor in the SOI model grew fast and invasively and metastasized to lungs,lymphatic node and liver.A subline,MRCC,with metastatic ability to the lung was selected.Compared with RCC-9863,MRCC has the characteristics of shorter multiply time and higher agar clone forming rate(P

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)

Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of many vascular disorders. Hemodynamics cause the activation of inflammatory factors in the vascular wal , resulting in dysfunction of vascular endothelial cels and vascular smooth muscle cels, activating vascular wal inflammatory cascade. Inflammatory cels, especialy macrophage infiltration and secretion of enzymes gradualy weaken the vessel wal to form aneurysm, and even cause aneurysm rupture. Therefore, inflammation plays a key role in the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms.

Objective To explore the expression of TK1 in breast carcinoma and discuss its significance of carcinogenesis and progression in breast carcinoma and its relationship with Ki67. Method Using immunohistochemistry methods of SABC and S-P to detect the expression of TK1 and Ki67 in 89 cases of breast carcinoma tissue. Results Positive rate of TK1 in the breast carcinoma was 69.7% (62/89), and the expression of TK1 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and histological grade (P < 0.05), but it was not significantly correlated with age (P > 0.05). The expression of TK1 was not significantly correlated with Ki67 in the breast carcinoma (P>0.05). Conclusions Expression of TK1 is associated with carcinogenesis and progression, and it is a poor prognostic marker of breast carcinoma. TK1 and Ki67 are the indicators of cellular growth independently.
