BACKGROUND:Large randomized trials have demonstrated carotid endarterectomy or stenting for symptomatic and asymptomatic extracranial carotid stenosis is effective.
OBJECTIVE:Using the meta analysis method, to evaluate efficacy and safety of carotid stenting and carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid stenosis.
METHODS:Computer-based retrieval of databases both at home and abroad was performed for randomized control ed trials related to carotid stenting and carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid stenosis. According to exclusion criteria, literature screening was done fol owed by quality evaluation. Then, the enrol ed literatures were analyzed by Cochrane col aboration with RevMan5.0 Meta analysis software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were 14 enrol ed studies, including 7 693 patients among whom, 3 835 cases were in stenting group and 3 858 in carotid endarterectomy group. Compared with the carotid endarterectomy group, the stroke event rate within 30 days postoperatively, death and stroke event rate within 30 days postoperatively, myocardial infarction event rate within 1 year postoperatively and non-disabling stroke event rate within 30 days postoperatively were higher in the stenting group (P ≤0.000 1);the myocardial infarction event rate within 30 days postoperatively was lower in the stenting group (P=0.001 0). There were no significant differences in the death event rate and disabled stroke event rate within 30 days postoperatively between the two groups. These two treatments are complementary rather than antagonistic. We should optimize the treatment choice based on the comprehensive analysis of each patient's condition.

BACKGROUND:The limb ischemia model in rats has been widely applied in China to study the pathological process and treatment method of limb ischemia, but there are some controversies on the model construction and evaluation, so a reliable, convenient and economical disease model is needed for the related research. OBJECTIVE:To compare limb ischemia degree, duration and changing rule of acute hind limb ischemia models prepared by different ways in Sprague-Dawley rats, and find a method to prepare models that have moderate and stable limb ischemia and maintain a longer time. METHODS: 72 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups, with 18 rats in each group. Group A: sham operation group, abdominal aorta below renal artery and iliolumbar artery, right superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery, saphenous artery were separated. Group B: the right superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery, saphenous artery were cut off, and the right femoral artery was resected to establish acute hind limb ischemic model. Group C: abdominal aorta and bilateral abdominal perineal artery were ligated to establish acute hind limb ischemic model. Group D: abdominal aorta, iliolumbar artery and lumbar artery were ligated to establish acute hind limb ischemic model. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Right hind limb muscle strengths of rats in groups B, C, D were weaker than that in group A at weeks 2, 4, 6 after operation; muscle strengths in group D was weaker than that in groups B, C at week 4 after operation; muscle strengths in groups B, D was stil weaker than that in group C at week 6 after operation. The partial venous oxygen pressure of right hind limbs in groups B, C, D was lower than that in group A at weeks 2, 4, 6 after operation; the partial venous oxygen pressure in group D was lower than that in groups B and C at weeks 2, 4 after operation; and group D was stil lower than group C at week 6 after operation. At weeks 2, 4 after operation, some muscle cels in the right hind limb muscle tissue were disrupted, fibrous connective tissue hyperplasia and capilary hyperplasia were detected, inflammatory cels infiltrated in the groups B, C, D. These pathological findings were more apparent in group D. Fiber connective tissue hyperplasia was attenuated, capilary hyperplasia, expansion and congestion were found in each group at week 6 postoperatively. The method of ligating abdominal aorta, iliolumbar artery and lumbar artery below renal artery for hind limb ischemia model can obtain moderate and stable ischemia conditions, maintain a long time, and is convenient to prepare.

ObjectiveTo study prognostic factors and surgical extent of papillary thyroid microcarcinona (PTMC). MethodsLiteratures about PTMC were searched. Relationship between prognostic factors and recurrence after initial operation was analyzed by meta analysis. The surgical extent of PTMC was discussed. Results A total of 12 retrospective studies were included. Meta analysis results showed that factors such as male, tumor size > 5 mm, nonincidental, positive lymphnode, multifocus, and capsular invasion were related to recurrence after initial surgery. Age above 45 years had nothing to do with the recurrence rate of PTMC. There was no signifi.cant difference in recurrence rate between prophylactic neck dissection groups and the groups without prophylactic neck dissection. ConclusionsMany factors are related to the prognosis of PTMC. The surgical extent depends on prognostic factors. Prophylactic neck dissection is not supposed to be conventional surgical procedure for PTMC. Bilateral central lymph node dissection is appropriate to PTMC with positive lymph node.

BACKGROUNDTo explore the correlation of microvessel density (MVD) and microvessel structure (MVS) features with the patients' prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODSAnti-Von Willebrand factor antibody was used to stain microvessel endothelia by means of LsAB immunohistochemical technique, then the microvessel count and structure features were observed microscopically in 49 primary NSCLC tissues. MVS pattern A had scattered microvessels with relatively integral or thick wall and with relatively regular morphology and MVS pattern B had plexiform or network like microvessels with unintegral or thin wall and with irregular morphology.
RESULTSMVD in primary NSCLC tissues was closely correlated with pTNM stage or lymph node involvement, P=0.043 and P=0.038, respectively. MVS in primary NSCLC tissues was closely correlated with the size of primary carcinoma, P=0.002. The survival of patients (23.2± 18.4 months) with MVD > 52/200× was significantly shorter than that of patients (35.9±20.9 months) with MVD < 52/200× in primary NSCLC tisssues, P=0.01. The survival of patients with MVS pattern A (39.4±17.2 months) was significantly longer than that of patients with MVS pattern B (23.5±20.3 months) in primary NSCLC tisssues, P=0.008. The survival of patients with MVD < 52/200× and MVS pattern A (42.9±19.3 months) was significantly longer than that of patients with MVD > 52/200× and MVS pattern B (15.7±16.8 months) in primary NSCLC tissues, P=0.002.
CONCLUSIONSMVD and MVS are closely associated with prognosis of NSCLC patients and might be served as parameters estimating patients' prognosis and planning assistant therapy after operation.

BACKGROUNDTo investigate the distribution of TCR Vβ subfamily T clonal cells in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and lymphocytes in non-cancerous lung tissues of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to see the inclination of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) Vβ subfamilies' expression.
METHODSComplimentarily determining region 3 (CDR3) of TCR 24 variable region genes was analyzed in PBL, TIL and lymphocytes in non cancerous lung tissues from 24 NSCLC cases with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and gene scan techniques to identify the distribution and clonality of TCR Vβ subfamily T cells.
RESULTSOnly a portion of Vβ T cells were found in patients with NSCLC, whereas 24 TCR Vβ subfamily T cells were detected in 10 healthy controls. Vβ5 subfamily was expressed mostly in TIL and the frequency of Vβ5 in TIL (6/18, 33.3%) was much higher than that of PBL (1/24, 4.2%) and T cells infiltrating non-cancerous lung tissues (0/12) (P < 0.05). Oligoc lonal T cells were found in 2 cases with Vβ5 subfamily and polyclonal T cells in 4 cases.
CONCLUSIONSThere are dominant and clonal TCR Vβ subfamilies expressed in TIL of NSCLC patients, which may be the tumor associated antigens (TAA) specific.

The research on cycle change form of the pressure and the wall shear in human upper respiratory tract can strengthen understanding of the characteristics of the airflow in the place and provide us with a scientific basis for analyzing the diffusion, transition and deposition patterns of aerosol there. In our study, we used large eddy simulation to emulate the pressure and wall shear in human upper respiratory tract in conditions of the low intensive respiratory patterns, and discussed the distributing disciplinarian of the pressure and wall shear in mouth-throat model and trachea-triple bifurcation. The results showed that the pressure gradient variation in human upper respiratory tract was mainly fastened from root of epiglottis to trachea. The minimum pressure at the interim of inspiration was a duplication of the interim of expiration, and located on the posterior wall of the glottis. The pressure gradient variation was evident on trachea and its fork. The wall shear changed with the velocity of the air flow, and its direction changed periodically with breath cycle.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the relationship between degradation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA in the mouse liver and postmortem interval (PMI).
METHODS:
Sixty NIH mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and suffocation, and then placed into 10 degrees C and 25 degrees C temperature-controlling systems. The changes of GAPDH mRNA in the liver were detected by two-step fluorimetric reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique and nucleic acids protein cryoscope from 0 to 48 h postmortem.
RESULTS:
In the mouse liver, the amplification products of GAPDH mRNA could be examined within 48 h postmortem in 10 degrees C temperature-controlling system and within 36 h postmortem in 25 degrees C temperature-controlling system. The amplification products showed a decreasing tendency.
CONCLUSION
Degradation of GAPDH mRNA in the mouse liver is negative correlation with PMI. GAPDH mRNA could be a new marker for estimation of PMI.
