Objective To explore the necessity of inferior vena cava(IVC) filter implantation during catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Method Ninety-three patients with acute DVT were reviewed from Nov. 2006 to Dec. 2008. There were 35 men and 58 women, age averaging at (60 ±29) year old, treated with CDT followed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty ( PTA). The course of DVT was from 5 h ~ 15 d (6. 28 ±7.08) d with 80 left lower limbs and 13 right lower limbs involved. Results There were 30 patients with prior IVC filter implanted compared with 63 patients without filters (67. 7% ,63/93). Among the patients without filter, there were 93. 6% (59/63) left lower limbs. DSA was redone after thrombolysis. Seventy-seven iliacfemoral thrombosis was resolved completely and stenosis or occlusion of the iliac vein were found in 90. 9% (70/77) cases. Endovascular treatment was performed in 57 patients. There was no patients suffering from symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE). PE was found in 3 cases with a filter and 1 case without filter was suspected of PE on pulmonary CTA after treatment. Conclusion It is not necessary to routinely place an IVC filter during CDT for treating DVT on left lower limb when the thrombosis is not involing the IVC.

BACKGROUND: Present studies have proved that titanium coating nanotubes cannot only promote the biological activity of the material itself, but also be used as a drug carrier loading antibiotics and growth factors. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the antibacterial properties of vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium dioxide nanotubes in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: The releasing property in vitro of vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium dioxide nanotubes and vancomycin/titanium dioxide nanotubes were detected. And 1010/L Staphylococcus aureus dilution was put onto the commercial titanium, titanium dioxide nanotube and vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium dioxide nanotube, respectively. Twenty-four hours later, the bacterial growth and activity was observed by scanning electron microscope and confocus scanning electron microscope, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Scanning electron microscope showed: the number of Staphylococcus aureus was the least on the vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium dioxide nanotube, and the bacterial morphology was destroyed. Confocus scanning electron microscope observed: the number of bacteria and viable bacteria was the least on the vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium dioxide nanotube, and the most on the commercial titanium. Besides, the releasing time of vancomycin from the hydroxyapatite/titaniumdioxide nanotube was up to 18 days, but the releasing time of vancomycin was only 4 hours from the titanium dioxide nanotube. In conclusion, the vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium dioxide nanotube has good antibacterial property and slow-releasing performance.
