Objective To analyze the complications caused by microwave ablation for hepatic cavernous hemangiomas, and to discuss the prevention and treatment of the complications. Methods During the period from July 2009 to May 2011 at authors’ hospital, a total of 34 times of microwave ablation procedure were carried out in 30 patients with hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. The microwave ablation-related complications were recorded and the prognosis was evaluated. Results Serious complications occurred in 2 patients (6.7%), including acute hemolysis leading to acute renal failure (n = 1) and abdominal wall abscess (n = 1). Postoperative fever was seen in 18 cases (60%), transient hemoglobinuria in 4 cases (13.3%), nausea with vomiting in 5 cases (16.7%), marked pain at the surgical area in 8 cases (26.7%), right pleural effusion in 4 cases (13.3%), hepatic dysfunction in 24 cases (80%) and leukocytosis in 11 cases (36.7%). No treatment-related death occurred. Conclusion For the treatment of hepatic cavernous hemangiomas, microwave ablation is minimally invasive with higher safety and satisfactory effect, although this technique carries somewhat higher risks when the hemangioma is larger or the location of the hemangioma is anatomically complicated. Some of these complications can be early detected and proper management should be actively adopted in order to avoid as well as to minimize the adverse results.

Objective To study the characteristics of child acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) immuno-phenotype and evaluate its diagnosis value. Methods Direct immunofluorescence staining and CD45/Side Scatter (SSC) gating of flow cytometry were used for immunophenotyping in 111 cases of child ALL. The relation of mor-phology and immunology classification was analyzed. Results Three categories could be identified,including 81 ca-ses (73.0%) of B lineage ALL, 16 cases (14.4%) of T lineage ALL and 14 cases (12.6% ) of B/T lineage ALL. There were 25 cases (22.5% ) of ALL expressing myeloid-associated antigens. According to the FAB Morphology classification,59 cases (53.2%) of L1 type and 47 cases (42.3%) of L2 type were diagnosed. The two cases (1.8%) of L3 type were classified as one case of null-ALL and one case of B-ALL. One case (0.9%)of acute my-eloblastic leukemia (AML-M2a) was identified as null-ALL. The two cases that could not be diagnosed by FAB clas-sification were c-ALL. Conclusion The immunophenotyping helps to identify the character of leukemia with an im-portant value in diagnosis of child ALL.

Objective To systematically review the short-term and long-term efficacy of eversion carotid endarterectomy (eCEA) and patch carotid endarterectomy (pCEA) for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis.Methods The published literature on eCEA and pCEA control studies in medline,PubMed,Ovid,CNKI and CBM (1970.5-2016.10) databases were retrieved by computers.Two reviewers selected literature and extracted data independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Cochrane Collaboration Network Special Software Rev Man 5.2 was used to analyze the meta-analysis of short-term and long-term outcome measures.Results A total of 1 137 articles were retrieved.Ten studies were included and analyzed (3 of them were randomized controlled trial).A total of 3 213 patients were enrolled,including surgical intervention 3 299 case/time (1 512 in the eCEA group and 1 787 in the pCEA group).The results of meta-analysis showed that:(1) the mean operative time in the pCEA group was shorter 22±8 min than that in the pCEA group.The intraoperative utilization ratio of shunt tube,eCEA was significantly lower than pCEA,they were 12.6 %(53/421) and 50.2% (357/711) respectively (OR,0.11,95%CI 0.08-0.15,P<0.01).The postoperative incidence of stroke within 30 d (OR,0.42,95%CI 0.23-0.76,P=0.004) and the incidence of stroke after 30 d in eCEA were lower than those in pCEA (OR,0.26,95%CI 0.09-0.78,P=0.02).There was significant difference.(2) eCEA reduced the incidence of restenosis at day 30 after procedure (OR,0.57,95%CI 0.38-0.86,P=0.008).Conclusion Compared with pCEA,eCEA has the advantages of reducing the operation time and lowering the utilization rate of shunt tube.At the same time,eCEA can reduce the occurrence of stroke within 30 d and 30 d after procedure,and significantly reduce the incidence of restenosis.

Objective To observe the effects of butylphthalide on the expression of autophagy-related protein and mRNA in l-meth-yl-4-phenyl-pyridiniumion (MPP+)-induced SH-SY5Y cells, and to explore the protective effect and possible mechanism of butylphthalide to the cell model of Parkinson's disease. Methods The SH-SY5Y cells were divided into control group (A), MPP+group (B), rapamycin pre-treated+MPP+group (C) and Butylphthalide pretreated+MPP+group (D). The relative viability of SH-SY5Y cells induced by MPP+was measured with MTT assay, the morphology of SH-SY5Y cells was observed. The expression of microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-II/I and Beclin 1 protein was detected by Western blotting. And the expression of LC3-II/I and Beclin 1 mRNA were assayed by re-al-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Results The viability rates of cells were significantly lower in group B than in group A (t=20.270, P<0.001), and were significantly higher in groups C and D than in group B (t>8.770, P<0.001), however, there was no significantly difference between groups C and D (t=2.270, P=0.064). The expression of LC3-II/I and Beclin 1 was higher in group B than in group A (t>6.647, P<0.01), and was higher in groups C and D than in group B (t>3.630, P<0.01), however, there was no significantly differ-ence between groups C and D (t<2.238, P≥0.05). Conclusion Butylphthalide could prevent the injury of SH-SY5Y cells induced by MPP+, which may affect Parkinson's disease by inducing autophagy.

Objective To investigate the significance of detection of blood coagulation and fibrinolytic indexes before and after delivery.Methods 212 cases in the postpartum hemorrhage group(bleeding amount ≥500 mL)and 235 cases in the normal deliver-y group were retrospectively analyzed.The prothrombin time(PT),international normalized ratio(PT-INR),activated partial throm-boplastin time(APTT),thrombin time(TT),fibrinogen(FIB),D-dimer(DD),blood platelets(PLT)and hemoglobin(HB)were de-tected before delivery and at 72 h after delivery.85 women with the physical examination were selected as the healthy group.Results Before delivery,PT/PT-INR,APTT,TT,PLT and HB in the normal delivery group were lower than those in the healthy group, while FIB and DD were higher than those in the healthy group;PT/PT-INR,APTT,TT and DD in the postpartum hemorrhage group were higher than those in the normal delivery group,while FIB and PLT were lower than those in the normal delivery group. At 72 h after delivery,there was no statistically significant differences in PT/PT-INR,APTT,TT and DD between the normal de-livery group and the healthy group(P >0.05),but FIB was higher than that in the healthy group;PT/PT-INR,APTT,TT and DD in the postpartum hemorrhage group were higher than those in the normal delivery group,while FIB,PLT and HB were lower than those in the normal delivery group.Conclusion Dynamically monitoring the change of the blood coagulation and fibrinolysis indexes before and after delivery has important significance in preventing postpartum hemorrhage and thrombosis.

Objective To explore a more effective way to enhance the clinical efficacy of cluster immunotherapy for perennial allergic rhinitis. Methods A total of 60 perennial allergic rhinitis patients were evenly randomized into treatment goup and control group. The two groups were given cluster immunotherapy, and the treatment group was given daily vesiculating moxibustion additionally . Before and after treatment, the scores of traditional Chinese medical constitution and the rhinitis quality of life ( QOL) were observed, and one year after treatment, the therapeutic effect and safety were evaluated. Results ( 1) One year after treatment, the treatment group showed better total clinical efficiency than the control group ( 96.67% vs 80.00%, P<0.05). ( 2) After treatment, the average scores of Qi deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution and special constitution were significantly lower than those before treatment in the treatment group ( P<0.01). The improvement of Qi deficiency constitution and yang deficiency constitution in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group ( P<0.05). ( 3) The total QOL scores and the scores of each dimension of QOL scale were improved in both groups, and the differences were significant except for the emotion dimension ( P<0.01). Insignificant differences were shown between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). ( 4) Two cases had grade 1 general adverse reaction and 5 cases had local adverse reaction during cluster immunotherapy. During vesiculating moxibustion, 3 cases had blistering and the blistering disappeared after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion Daily vesiculating moxibustion combined with cluster immunity therapy is effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, showing good effect on improving Qi deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution and special constitution as well as the quality of life of the patients.
