1.Application of covered stents in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2014;22(3):231-236
Since the 1960s,endovascular coil embolization has gradually become another treatment for intracranial aneurysms in addition to craniotomy clipping surgery,and in recent years,it has become the preferred method for many neurologists.However,the complexity of intracranial vascular anatomy and the diversity of intracranial aneurysm make the coil embolization alone unable to meet the needs of all intracranial aneurysms.And then some novel materials and techniques emerged,such as coated coils,balloon-assisted embolization,stent-assisted embolization,and covered stents.The principle of covered stents for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms is to place a kind of stents with bio-physical barriers into the parent arteries,while maintaining the patency of the parent artery,thus isolating aneurysms,leading to thrombogenesis inside and finally curing the lesions while maintaining the patency of parent arteries.It has huge advantage in the treatment of wide-necked,huge,dissecting and pseudo aneurysms without important adjacent branch vessels.This article reviews the application situation and the prospects of development of covered stents in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Objective To explore the effect of new labor standards on the intrapartum interventions and delivery outcome for gestational diabetes mellitus primiparas in labor by comparing with materal who were in accordance with the Friedman standards. Methods From May to November 2015, 319 singleton and full-term gestational diabetes mellitus primiparas whose labor treatment was according to new labor standards were selected as observation group. From November 2014 to April 2015, materal in accordance with the Friedman standards were selected as control group, a total of 292 cases, and then progress of labor, the usage of oxytocin, delivery way, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal hypoglycemia and asphyxia were all observed. Results There was no significant difference between two groups in the rate of postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal asphyxia and neonatal mobidities (P>0.05). The total labor stage, the first labor stage and the second labor stage was (10.73 ± 4.00), (9.97 ± 3.89), (0.60 ± 0.38) h in observation group and (8.86 ± 3.09), (8.19 ± 3.00), (0.53 ± 0.31) h in control group, there was significant difference between two groups (t=18.184, 17.799, 6.798, all P<0.01). The incidence of artificial rupture, the usage of oxytocin, caesarean section was 22.57%(72/319), 16.93%(54/319), 5.64%(198/319) in observation group, and 28.77%(84/292), 22.95%(67/292), 9.59%(28/292) in control group, and there was significant difference between two groups(χ2=3.079, 3.476, 3.410, all P<0.05). The incidence of episiotomy was only 29.47% (94/319) in observation group, significantly less than that in control group, which was 51.37% (150/292), there was significant difference (χ2=30.490, P<0.01). Conclusions For gestational diabetes mellitus primipara, the new labor standards effectively reduce intrapartum interventions, the rate of cesarean sections and episiotomy, and more, less influence on maternal and newborn, which is helpful to promote the maternal reproductive health and natural delivery.

Objective To determine whether sulfasalazine stimulates hepatic stellate cell (HSC-T6) apoptosis and its possible mechanism. Methods CCK-8 assay, acridine orange/ethidium bromide(AO/EB) and Annexin Ⅴ FITC/PI were used to determine cell growth and cell apoptosis. The expression of NF-?B P65, phospho-IKK and phospho-I?B was detected by Western blotting. The nuclear translocation of HSC-T6 P65 was observed with laser confocal microscopy. Results Sulfasalazine displayed a strong growth inhibition and promoting apoptosis effect on HSC-T6 cells in a dose and time-dependent manner. Sulfasalazine, but not 5-aminosalicylic acid or sulfapyridine, inhibited the activation of NF-?B by down-regulating the expressions of P-IKK, P-I?B and the nuclear translocation of P65. Conclusion Sulfasalazine can inhibit NF-?B activity and promote apoptosis in HSC-T6 cells, where the Rel/NF-?B/I?B/IKK pathway plays an important role in HSC survival.
