Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the endovascular interventional minimally invasive techniques(IMIT)for treatment of carotid artery iniury. Methods A total of 111 cases of carotid artery injury diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography(DSA)were treated with IMIT.Except for 1 case of extracranial segment injury of internal carotid artery treated with transcatheter stentgraft placement to obturate the rupture of carotid artery,the other 110 cases of intracranial segment injury of internal carotid artery(ICA)were treated with embolization with balloons in 73,embolization with coils in 12,injection of NBCA and PVA in 6,stent-graft placement in 11 and embolization with multiple materials in 8. Results Angiography demonstrated rupture of extracranial segment of internal carotid artery and arteriovenous fistula(AVF)at the neck in 1 case,traumatic carotid cavernous fistula(TCCF)in 83.traumatic pseudoaneurysm at intracranial segment of carotid artery in 14 and both TCCF and pseudoaneurysm in 13.The interventional treatment succeeded in all cases and interual carotid arteries were well protected in 62 cases.Completion angiography documented complete obliteration of the fistulas,with complete disappearance of the clinical symptoms in 110 cases and improvement in 1.Minor complications occurred in 2 cases,without death occurred.During the follow-up for 1-14 months,16 cases reexamined with DSA,which showed that the symptoms of 3 cases reoccurred,2 of whom were cured by re-embolization and 1 was under clinical observation. Conclusions IMIT including transcatheter selective embolization and stent-graft implantation is minimally invasive,safe and effective for treatment of carotid artery injury.

BACKGROUND: Functional injury of brain and limb induced by hemorrhage of cerebral arteriovenous malformation could be restored by rehabilitative treatment OBJECTIVE: To investigate the curative effect of rehabilitation on restoration of the functional injury of the brain and limbs induced by bleeding of hemorrhage cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) after embolization.DESIGN: Case analysis.SETTING: Department of Interventional Medicine of General Hospital of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: From January 1996 to December 2001, a total 56 patients who were diagaosed as cerebral hemorrhage or intraventricle hemorrhage by CT or MRI scanning was selected from General Hospital of Chinese PLA.METHODS: All 56 patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation were diagnosed by DSA. Rehabilitative treatment was performed with α-butyl cyanoac-rylate or radian surgery. Rehabilitative therapy were as follow: [1] Electric stimulate: S J-Ⅱ type nerve-muscle therapy instrument was used to stimulate the muscles (flexor and extensor) of limbs in the involved side, intensity of which is from weak to strong and frequency of which was from 2 to 3 or 4 per day; [2] Acupuncture: The selected points are:Fengchi, Fengfu, Yintang, Shangxing, Baihui, Quchi, Waiguan, Hegu,Huantiao, Zusanli, Yanglingquan, Sanyinjiao, Taichong, et al. In those who suffered aphasia, lianquan, Jinjin, Yuye were selected. Once a day and a period of treatment was 2 weeks; [3] physical training: the passive movement on the joint in the involved limbs were performed in grade 0 to 1 of muscle strength, the balance training of sitting on bed or standing beside the bed in grade 1 to 2, walking training in grade 2 to 3. The training intensity should be from weak to strong gradually. The items of observation were the improvement in speaking, sense and activity in limbs in the involved side. Evaluation of myodynamia was referenced to 6 grading method of Lovett.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: [1] the degree of embolism; [2] the degree of speaking fluency, the sense of limbs and the strength of the muscles of the limbs.RESULTS: Totally 56 cases entered the final analysis without any loss. [1]Degree of embolism: Among 56 cases, 100% focus was eliminated for 77% in 43 cases, 90% was eliminated for 12% in 7 cases and 60%-80% was eliminated for 11% in 6 cases. [2] Fluency of language: Before the treatment of rehabilitation, they suffered different degree impediment of speaking in 14 cases, improvement in 14 cases and obvious improvement in 11 cases. [3] Sense of limb:The sense of limbs was improved in 23 cases and 18 of them improved obviously. [4] Strength of muscles: The strength of muscles in 0 to 1 grade in 3 cases, 1 to 2 grade in 11 cases, 2 to 3 grade in 15 cases. But after the treatment of rehabilitation, speaking ability was improved in 14 cases, and 11 of them improved obviously. The strength of muscles was. resumed to 2 or 3 grade from 0or 1 grade in 2 cases, and to 4 grade in 21 cases and 5 grade in 6 cases.CONCLUSION: Endovascular embolization is a minimal traumatic, the rehabilitative therapy which is secure and effective method for treatment of high risk cerebral AVM, can promote motion function, language function and ability of activity of daily living, and quality of life of patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation after embolism.

Plastic and Aesthetic surgery is a science which creates beauty by combining know-ledge and art. Combined with the professional characteristics of plastic surgery, we reformed the cur-riculum content and teaching mode of continuous education, including a established interactive theoret-ical learning model based on Journal club, the strengthening of clinical practice integrated with multiple related disciplines, the expanding the knowledge of Sociology, Psychology and Ethics, and the construc-tion of a long-term platform of network resources. Therefore, a comprehensive and specialized continu-ous education model in the department of plastic and aesthetic surgery was ultimately formed, whose preliminary assessment was favorable, and could be helpful in the cultivation of high-quality plastic and aesthetic surgeons in the future.
