Autogenous vein graft is one of the frequent methods to treat ischemia in Vascular Surgery.However, the patency rate of vein grafts is unhappy because of the injury, the difference structure between arteries and veins, and the change of hemedynamics after grafted. The restenosis of vein graft contains three syntrophic component elements-thrombosis, intima hyperplasia, and scleratheroma. In this article, we will discuss the relationship between the changed hemodynamics and the restenosis of the vein grafts.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is one kind of common disease in clinic. For the disruption and followed high mortality, it has already caused people's deep concern. For the past few years, nitricoxide syn-thase has played an important role in the processes and development of abdominal aortic aneurysm. This arti-cle gave an overview of the subject.

Atheroselerosis and thrombangiitis obliterans are the chief factors of chronic lower extremity ischemia. Usually we utilize intervcntional treatment which includs balloon dilatation and stent implantation or surgical revascularization for the patients who have good target vessels, but those methods are not suitable for the patients who have small target vessels. The transplantation of bone marrow stem cells is the new tech-nology for chronic lower extremity isehemia, which utilize the capacity of stem cells that have multiple differ-entiation activity and high self renewal potentiality. It can direetionally differentiated into endothelial cells. It has a good perspective in chronic lower extremity isehemia.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of proteolytic enzymes that degrade various components of the extracellular matrix (ECM).Both animal expodments and clinical sample analysis have shown that balance in expression and activation of MMP and inhibition by tissue inhibitors of matrix metallo-proteinase (TIMP)is critical for the development of stenotic change.This review article focuses on the role of MMP relevant to restenosis after vascular injury.

Ischemic disease of lower extremity is a severe disease threatening human health.In the 21st century the stem cells transplantation is one of the most advanced technologies and has applied quickly to clinical therapy.The stem cells possess the potential differentiation capability and can differentiate into all kinds of tissue cells.We transplant stem cells from peripheral blood or bone marrow to isehemie appendicular muscle or obsructed vessal in order to make them differentiate into newborn blood capillary,improve and re-cover blood flow of lower limb and achieve the aim of treating lower limb ischemia.

Objective To construct new model of experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and detect the AAA outer diameter and the change of induce nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) in the abdominal aor-tic aneurysm in different period,and analysis the correlation between experimental AAA and iNOS.Methods During the operation of the experiment group,the vascular prosthesis of PTFE was implanted to the rabbit abdominal aorta to form an aneurysm,while sham operation was done in the control group.The tissue of ab-dominal aortic aneurysm was harvested in 1 d,7d,14d,and 28d after operation,respectively.The tissue bo-mogenate concentration of iNOS in the abdominal aortic aneurysm were detected by enzyme linked immu-nosorbent assay (ELISA).Results In experimental group,mean concentration of the tissue bomogenate concentration of iNOS in the abdominal aortic aneurysm in 1 d,7 d,14 d,28 d were (22.129 ±2.518)μ/mL,(27.337±5.321) μ/mL,(36.047±4.584)μ/mL,(44.756±1.799)μ/mL,respectively;In control group,that was (12.499±1.807)μ/mL.The concentration of iNOS in experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0.01).The difference during the experimental group all had statisti-cal significance (P < 0.05).Conclusion It is possible that iNOS has some biological function during the formation and progression of the abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Objective To summarize the advancement of hereditary thrombophilia.Methods Relevant literatures about hereditary thrombophilia published recently domestic and abroad were reviewed and analyzed.Results The hereditary risk factors of venous thromboembolism were different among different races.In western population,the main risk factors were activated protein C resistance (APC-R) and mutation of factor V Leiden,methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism (C677T) and prothrombin G20210A.While in Chinese population,the disorder of protein C system and hyperhomocysteinemia were the major genetic risk factor.The existence of multiple genetic risk factors increased the incidence of primary and recurrent venous thromboembolism.Conclusion Further study on the relations between the hereditary risk factors and thrombophilia will be very important for prediction and prevention of the venous thromboembolism.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been increasingly used in the treatment of Stanford type B dissection.The incidence of new entry after thoracic endovascular aortic repair has been gradually increased report including at the proximal end and at the distal end of the endograft.New entry is difficult to handle following thoracic endovascular aortic repair for aortic dissection,and associates with a high substantial mortality.It need pay more attention to prevention and treatment on new entry after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.We summary and analyze the possible causes,prevention and management of new entry after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for aortic dissection.This article review and conclusion the progress on stent graft induced new entry after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

Objective To explore the value of color Doppler ultrasonography and plasma D-dimer in diagnosis of lower limb deep venous thrombosis (DVT).Methods The clinical data of 70 cases of patients with lower limb DVT diagnosed clinically were retrospectively studied.The lower limb venous of each patient was examined by color Doppler ultrasonography and the plasma level of D-dimer were measured,furthermore the plasma levels of D-dimer in different phase and different type of thrombosis were compared.Results The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and accuracy of plasma D-dimer and ultrasonography examination in lower limb DVT were 100%,66.7%,97.0%,100%,and 97.1%,and 98.4%,83.3%,98.4%,83.3%,and 97.1%,respectively.The plasma D-dimer in acute phase 〔(6 451?4 012.22) ?g/L〕 and subacute phase 〔(2 063?1831.35) ?g/L〕 of lower limb venous thrombosis were significantly higher than that in normal control group 〔(310?66.70) ?g/L〕,P

Objective Retrospective analysis of experience of distal upper limb autologous arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis access and treatment of arteriovenous fistula occlusion was conducted.Methods To summarize the clinical data of 214 cases of initial autologous arteriovenous fistula and 22 cases of treatment of arteriovenous fistula occlusion were carried out from Aug.2007 to Mar.2011,comparing the success rate and long-term patency rate.Results Two hundred and fourteen cases of initial autologous arteriovenous fistula,in which 168 cases were cephalic vein-radial artery side-to-side anastomosis at snuffbox,46 cases were cephalic vein-radial artery end-toside anastomosis at proximal wrist,the success cases were 203 (94.8％),the failed cases were 11 (5.2％),limb edema in 82 cases and there was no steal syndrome and heart failure.The primary patency rate was 95.2％ at 1 year and 91.3％ at 2 years.There were 22 patients accepted treatment of arteriovenous fistula occlusion,in which,8 cases were embolectomy due to acute occlusion,8 cases were thrombectomy and balloon dilation because of anastomotic stricture and thrombosis and 1 failed,5 cases were proximal anastomosis again after chronic occlusion.Conclusions Autologous arteriovenous fistula of the distal upper limb,especially from the place of snuffbox which is the preferred method for autologous arteriovenous fistula.And deal with arteriovenous fistula occlusion actively can often extend the usage time of the autologous blood vessels and improve the life quality of patients.
