Objective To study the route of branches of the internal iliac artery for presenting basic applied anatomy to be used in pelvic tumor diagnosis and interventional therapy through angiographic manifestations. Methods The branches of the internal iliac artery were studied by means of dissection on 45 adult cadavers(30 male, 12 female), including the origin, length, external diameter and bifurcation angle; and additionally angiographic characteristics of pelvic tumors in 42 cases together with normal ones of another 50 cases through bilateral selective internal iliac arteriography. Results①The angle between left and right common iliac artery was (58.9??7.3?),and that between the external and internal iliac artery was (27.6??5.3?). Iliolumbar artery and obturator artery were mainly originated from the main trunk of internal iliac artery and the distal portion (50%, 84.8%).②The external diameter of the branches of the internal iliac artery measured on cadavers was significantly smaller than that on patients alive. Conclusions Normal variations occur frequently in the origination, site of orifice and route of the middle and small branches of the internal iliac artery.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect and safety of different thrombolytic therapies for acute cerebral infarction due to occlusion of middle cerebral artery(MCA).MethodsOne hundred and thirty-two cases of acute cerebral infarction in territory of MCA were randomly divided into 3 groups,all of which were treated with alteplase.Group A (48 cases) was treated by intra-venous therapy with alteplase,group B (43 cases) was treated by infusing alteplase at the site of the internal carotid artery,and group C(41 cases) was treated by infusing alteplase into the thrombus.The improvement of neurological function,complications and mortality rate were recorded and statistically compared,with analysis of variance for counting data of normal distribution,x2 test for quantitative data,and the mean difference was significant at the 0.05level.ResultsThe effective rates of group A,B and C at 2 h,24 h,2 w were 18.8% (9/48),39.6% ( 19/48),45.8% (22/48) ;39.5% (17/43),53.5% (23/43),58.1% (25/43) ;78.0% (32/41),85.4% (35/41 ),87.8% (36/41)respectively.The effective rate of group C was obviously better than group A( x2 =12.809,9.979,9.289,P < 0.01 ) and B (x2 =31.295,19.425,17.161,P < 0.01 ) with statistical significance.The effective rate of group B was better than group A at 2 h after thrombolytic therapy with statistical significance (x2 =4.801,P < 0.05 ).The effective rate of group A and B did not have significant difference at 24 h,2 w after therapy ( x2 =1.765,1.375,P > 0.05 ).The hemorrhage rates of group A,B and C were 14.6% (7/48),14.0% (6/43),7.3% (3/41 ),the mortality rates of group A,B and C were 6.2% (3/48),4.6% (2/43),2.4% (1/41),and there was no significant difference among the 3 groups ( x2 =1.328,0.786,P > 0.05 ).ConclusionIt is suggested that the thrombus-imbeded thrombolytic therapy is a better way in treating acute cerebral infraction due to occlusion of MCA for its rapid and better therapeutic effect.

Objective To assess the current status of occupational radiation hazards in animal diagnosis and treatment institutions in Foshan City. Methods A total of 214 animal diagnosis and treatment institutions in Foshan City in 2024 were selected as the study subjects using the judgment sampling method. The radiation protection management status was investigated. Results A total of 178 out of the 214 animal diagnosis and treatment institutions were equipped with radiation diagnostic equipment in Foshan City. Among these 178 institutions, 98 (accounting for 55.1%) obtained permits from the ecology and environmental department, 21 (accounting for 11.8%) completed occupational hazard project declarations, 53 (accounting for 29.8%) conducted workplace radiation level monitoring, 132 (accounting for 74.2%) were equipped with radiation protection equipment, 40 (accounting for 22.5%) conducted occupational health examinations for the radiation staff, 39 (accounting for 21.9%) provided radiation protection knowledge training for the radiation staff, and 52 (accounting for 29.2%) performed personal radiation dose monitoring. However, none of the institutions implemented the “Three Simultaneities (design, construct, put into operation and use simultaneously with the main body of the construction project)” system for occupational disease prevention facilities in construction projects. Conclusion sAnimal diagnostic and treatment institutions in Foshan City have low levels of radiation protection management and inadequate occupational health monitoring. The radiation staff has low awareness of radiation protection, Relevant department should strengthen supervision and management, organize radiation protection knowledge training, and standardize occupational health management to effectively safeguard workers' health rights.
