Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has been the main treatment means for abdominal aortic aneurysm.It has become an expert consensus that in the case of abdominal aortic aneurysm that is complicated by iliac aneurysm,the preservation of internal iliac artery is necessary because it can prevent the occurrence of gluteal muscle ischemnia,sigmoid ischemia,male sexual dysfunction and other complications.In recent years,with the continuous updating of the endovascular devices it has become possible to retain the internal iliac artery in the performance of EVAR.At present,the reconstruction of internal iliac artery in EVAR includes a variety of techniques,including intraluminal iliac branched device (IBD) technique,sandwich technique,common iliac artery covered-stent bell-bottom (BBT) technique,external iliac artery-internal iliac artery intraluminal shunt technique (reverse chimney technique),and spring coil embolism technique.This article aims to make a summary of all the above mentioned techniques.

Objective To analyze the test results of persons with noise -induced hearing loss using disyllabic Mandarin speech test materials (MSTMs) .Methods 57 subjects with noise -induced hearing loss (noise group) were divided into three groups according to the duration of noise exposure :less than 10 years ,between 11 and 20 years and more than 20 years ,and also separated into 2 groups in terms of the degrees of hearing loss (group A :pure tone average thresholds of 0 .5 ,1 ,2 ,and 4 kHz less than or equal to 30 dB HL ,group B:pure tone average threshold of 0 .5 ,1 ,2 ,and 4 kHz greater than 30 dB HL) .66 subjects with normal hearing were in the control group .All the subjects enrolled in this study could speak Mandarin well in their daily life .Nine lists of disyllabic Mandarin speech test materials were utilized to test SRT and P -I function for these groups respectively .Results PTA and SRT in the noise group were much higher than the control group ,the average slope of P -I function was 5 .94% /dB ,and the curve of P-I function moved to the right side .SRT showed obvious changes as the increase of the years of noise exposure and especially in the group which had more than 20 years noise exposure (P<0 .01) . SRT of group B which had more hearing loss were greater than that of group A (P<0 .01) .Conclusion SRTs in the noise group are much higher than the control group with the average slope of P -I functions decreasing and the curve moving to the right side .As the years of noise exposure increase and the degrees of hearing loss become more severe ,SRT rise more apparently .

BACKGROUND:Currently, there is stil no clear conclusion on the pros and cons of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with or without stump preservation residues as wel as the impact of reconstruction with stump preservation on proprioceptive sensation. OBJECTIVE:To compare the curative effect of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with or without stump preservation on the function and stability of the knee joint during a 1-year folow-up. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 75 cases of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was done, including 37 cases of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction without stump preservation and 38 cases of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with stump preservation. Autologous hamstring tendons were selected as implants. Evaluation of preoperative (6 months before operation) and postoperative (6 months and 1 year after operation) knee function and stability was implemented on the basis of Lysholm scores, IKDC Scores and KT2000. The comparative analysis was carried out as wel on repeated passive angle for proprioception testing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the patients were folowed up for 12 to 20 months. Range of motion of the knee joint was basicaly restored in the two groups 6 months after operation. The results showed the Lysholm scores, IKDC scores and KT-2000 scores at 6 months and 1 year after operation were significantly improved in the two groups as compared with the preoperative data (P < 0.05), and there was no statisticaly difference between the two groups. The proprioception difference between the healthy and affected sides was lower in the patients with stump preservation than those without stump preservation at 6 months and 1 year after operation (P< 0.05). There were two cases in each group whose bone tunnel of the tibia was found deviating from the ideal position through postoperative X-ray examination, but cyclopia was unseen. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with stump preservation is beneficial to the recovery of postoperative proprioception without increasing of postoperative complications.

Aim To study on biological properties and hemopoiesis-supporting function of human bone marrow stromal cells cultured for long-term in vitro. Methods ① Bone marrow stromal cells from fetus, chidren and adults were cultured for long-time in vitro by static adherent wall assay. ② The phenotypes of the stromal cells were analyzed by immunocytochemical staining or FACA.③ Hemopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood were co-cultured and expanded with the stromal cells at different development stages. Results ① The fibroblast myoid cell lines were established and could be propagated to 10 generations and kept for 6 months, meantime, endothelial cells and macrophoges were obtained. ② The child stromal myoid cells were positive for viementin and negative for VIII factor by immunocytochemical staining and their phenotypes were CD33-,CD34-,CD38-and CDW90＋ , while the phenotypes of adult stromal cells were CD33-, CD34-, CD38＋ and CDW90＋ . ③ The stromal cellls could support long-time survival or expansion of LTC-ICs. Survival time of LTC-ICs in the stromal cell-supporting system supplemented with SCF, IL-3 and IL-6 was even longer than that in system without stromal cells(P∨ 0.01). The productivity rate of LTC-ICs cultured in the stromal cell-supporting system was 2 to 4 times higher than that cultured in system without stromal cells. Conclusion The human bone marrow stromal cells could be cultured for long-time in vitro and have hemopoiesis-supp ortingfunction for the hemopoietic stem cells in cord blood.
