ObjectiveTo observe the short term efficacy and safety of cryoplasty in treatment of lower extremity arterial occlusive disease. MethodsTwenty five patients (27 limbs) scheduled for lower extremity artery balloon angioplasty were randomized to cryoplasty [ group CRYO, 10 patients with 8 male,age ( 76 ± 8 ) years]or conventional balloon angioplasty [ group COBA, 15 patients with 13 male, age ( 68 ±4) years], In CRYO group, the average lesion length and stenosis were (6.7 ±0.9) cm and, (91±6)％, respectively. The average ankle-brachial index (ABI) was 0. 46 ±0. 07 before treatment. According to Fontaine clinical stages, 7 patients (7/10) in this group were staged Ⅱ and the other 3 (3/10) were staged Ⅲ. According to Trans Atlantic Inter Society Consensus (TASC), 8 patients (8/10) were classified as TASC type A and the other 2 (2/10) were TASC type B. In COBA group, the average lesion length and stenosis were (6. 5 ± 0. 7 ) cm and ( 89 ± 7 ) ％, respectively. The average ABI was 0. 48 ± 0. 08 before treatment.According to Fontaine clinical stages, 13 patients (13/15) were stagedⅡand the other 2(2/15) were staged Ⅲ. And, according to TACS, 13 patients (13/15) were classified as TASC type A and the other 2 (2/15) were TASC type B. The clinical symptoms and signs had no significant difference between the two groups ( P ＞ 0. 05 ).Clinical status was evaluated according to Rutherford classification.The clinical efficacy on the 2nd and 30 th day after the operation was compared using analysis of variance with repeated measurements. ResultsTechnical success was achieved in all patients both in CRYO group (10/10) and in COBA group (15/15). None patient in CRYO group occurred postoperative complication.One patient in COBA group ( 1/15 ) occurred vessel wall dissection. In CRYO group, clinical status were remarkably improved in 8 patients (8/10) and moderately improved in 2 patients (2/10) ; while, in COBA group, they were remarkably improved in 13 patients ( 13/15 ) and moderately improved in 2 patients ( 2/15 ). The average ABI was 0. 84 ± 0. 04 in group CRYO and 0. 84 ± O. 05 in group COBA ( P ＝ 0. 20).The average stenosis was (29 ± 4) ％ in group CRYO and (32 ± 4) ％ in group COBA ( P ＝ 0. 55 ). No significant difference was detected between the two groups.Both the average ABI and stenosis presented statistically significant difference between pre-operation and post-operation in both groups ( P ＜ 0. 01,respectively).Conclusions Cryoplasty is safe for the treatment of lower extremity arterial occlusive disease, which showed a good short-term result in this research.

Objective To measure the macular function of the fellow eye in patients with unilateral retinal vein occlusion (RVO).Methods A total of 24 cases of unilateral RVO were diagnosed by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA),and multifocal ERG (mfERG) was recorded by RETI scan.The mfERG data of 24 fellow eyes of those RVO patients,and 18 normal control eyes were analyzed and compared.The parameters included the amplitude density,latency of the P1 and N1 wave in 6 concentric circles and 4quadrants of the mfERG graphics.Results The amplitude densities of P1 and N1 wave in first and second concentric circles of RVO fellow eyes were significantly lower than normal eyes (t=4.520,2.147;P＜0.05).There was no significant difference (P＞0.05) of P1/N1 latency in any concentric circles or quadrants between RVO fellow eyes and normal eyes.Conclusion The central fovea of the RVO fellow eyes was functionally impaired.

BACKGROUND:Long-term patency rate of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels is stil the most important issue to be solved.
OBJECTIVE:To review the materials and fabrication technologies of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels as wel as endothelialization of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels.
METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed (2000-2013) and Wanfang database (2003-2013) was done for relevant articles using the key words of“smal-caliber, vascular graft, electrospun, layer-by-layer assembly, endothelialization”in English and Chinese, respectively. A total of 125 articles were retrieved, and final y, 41 were included for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At present, smal-caliber vascular graft materials include natural biological materials, biodegradable polymers, composite materials and xenogeneic biomaterials. Preparation technologies of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels mainly include electrospinning, self-assembly, rapid prototyping, and gel spinning. Numerous methods can elicit endothelialization of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels, but each method has its flaws and cannot ensure long-term patency radical y. With the development and diversification of preparation technologies and in-depth study of endothelialization of vascular prostheses, the long-term patency of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels wil gradual y be resolved.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Wenyang Chubi Decoction (WYCBD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and collagen-I (COL-I) in a mouse model of scleroderma. METHODS: Scleroderma was induced in BALB/c mice by daily local injection of bleomycin for three weeks and the mice were randomly divided into untreated, WYCBD-treated and normal saline (NS) treated groups, with another group of BALB/c mice as normal control. WYCBD and NS were given orally for one month respectively. Histopathology in the skin and lungs of the mice were examined. The CTGF and COL-I expressions in the skin or skin lesions were detected by immunohistochemical Elivision assay. RESULTS: The expression levels of CTGF and COL-I in the untreated group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group (P<0.05). Compared with the NS-treated group, the WYCBD-treated group had significant improvement in the skin and lung histopathology and remarkably decreased expression levels of CTGF and COL-I (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Scleroderma mice showed high expressions of CTGF and COL-I in the skin. WYCBD had the effects of decreasing the CTGF and COL-I expressions and improving the skin fibrosis.
