Objective To investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of uterime artery chemoembolization in postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) caused by abnormal placental implantation.Methods Between December 2006 and September 2009, there were 23 cases of abnormal placental implantation with PPH in our hospital, among which 9 presented with continuous small amount of vaginal bleeding and 14 with acute excessive bleeding.The average bleeding time was (8±6) d and the mean blood loss was (980±660) ml.Abnormal placental implantation was confirmed by color Doppler ultrasound (CD-US) in all cases, the internal lilac artery angiography was performed to identify the uterine artery and bilateral uterine artery chemoembolization (UACE) with methotrexate (MTX) and gelfoam particles to the distal end of uterine artery was conducted after.CD-US rechecked all patients within 48 h after UACE and those patients with blurred margins between placenta and uterus and abnormal blood flow (> 1 cm×1 cm) received ultrasonic-guided per vagina MTX multipoint injections.All cases were followed up for 3-26 months (average 12 months) to observe vaginal bleeding, placenta tissue discharge, serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), uterine involution, menses, and side-effects or complications.Results (1) Curative effect: These 23 cases underwent 24 procedures of UACE successfully and vaginal bleeding ceased at an average of (3.5±1.3) min after UACE.Reduced blood flow in the placental implantation area was detected under CD-US after UACE.Among the 23 patients, wterine curettage was required in 16 cases due to retained placenta tissues with the mean blood loss of (40 ± 28) ml during the operation, 2 underwent subtotal hysterectomy and confirmed to be placenta percreta by pathology examination, and placenta tissues were spontaneously discharged completely in 5 cases.Totally, 91% of the patients (21/23) reserved their uterus.(2) Follow-up: the serum hCG reduced to normal within 1-13 d after the placenta tissue were evacuated.Regular menstruation returned within 2-3 months in those patients who reserved uterus and normal size uterus was found under sonography at 3 months.No severe complication was reported except for some post embolization syndrome, such as pelvic pain or fever.Conclusions UACE, combined with ultrasonic-guided transvaginal MTX injection, is a safe, minimal invasive and quick hemostatic procedure in treatment of abnormal placental implantation with PPH, and allows the preservation of uterus possible.CD-US is helpful in evaluation of the blood flow changes before and after UACE in abnormal placental implantation patients.

Objective To analyze the causes,treatment and prevention of operation-related complications in liver malignancy patients after CT-guided percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT).Methods A total of 68 patients with liver malignancy underwent CT-guided PMCT and their complications were analyzed retrospectively.Results The tumor diameter was 2.0-13.8 cm,mean 6.2 cm.Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) was performed before PMCT in 64 patients,and 68 patients received 120 times of PMCT (1-8 times per patient).The main untoward reaction of PMCT was vagus nerve accentuation.Seven patients (7/120,5.83%) had complications including needle-tract implantation (n=2),liver abscess (n=2),pneumatothorax (n=1),cardiovascular accident (n=l) and enormous biloma with infection (n=l),6 were treated finally,and implanted tumor advanced in 1 patient.Conclusion CT-guided PMCT in liver malignancies is a safe therapeutic option with low rate of operation-related complications,which can be prevented and treated.Complications of PMCT are associated with the needle tract,frequency,coagulation range and perioperative management.

Objective To assess the value of selective renal arteriography and embolization in the therapy of nephrorrhagia diseases.Methods Fifteen patients of renal hemorrhages including 10 iatrogenic renal trauma,3 renal harmatoma and 2 renal closed injury with ineffective medical treatment underwent selective renal artery embolization.Results Renal artery an-giographies confirmed renal segmental arteries and/or their branches injuries.Gelatin sponge,PVA or steel coil were used for embolization.During 1-3 months fllowing-up,renal abscess was found in 2 patients without superselective embolization,while haematuria occurred in one case after embolization with gelatin sponge but stopped after medical treatment.The renal function of all patients were normal after embolization.Conclusion Superselective renal artery embolization has reliable effect and slight complication in the treatment of nephrorrhagia,especially suitable for patients after surgery and renal inadequacy.

To investigate the cytotoxicity of the homemade peptide cationic liposome CDO14 and its efficacy of RNA interference (RNAi). MTT method was used to determine the cytotoxicity of the liposome to a human lung cancer cell line Luc-A549 that can express luciferase stably. Luciferase siRNA (Luc-siRNA) was transfected into Luc-A549 cells by CDO14. Contents of luciferase in the transfected cells were detected by luminous instrument and contents of total protein in these cells were detected by BCA method. Nude mice were inoculated with Luc-A549 cells in axilla to establish xenograft tumor model. Complexes of Luc-siRNA and the cationic liposomes were injected into the modeling mice via tail vein. Contents of luciferase in the transfected mice were detected by the whole body imaging system. The cytotoxicity of the homemade cationic liposome was similar to that of commercial liposome DOTAP, and lower than that of Lipo2000. The siRNA transfection efficacy mediated by CDO14 was higher than that mediated by DOTAP. The homemade peptide cationic liposome CDO14 is expected to serve as delivery vector in gene therapy because of its low cytotoxicity and high transfection efficiency.

Objective: Empirical findings confirmed that autistic and schizotypal traits are associated with attentional function as well as include various dimensions. So far, no study has reported which dimension of these traits relates to attentional networks. This study aimed to find out whether there are associations between attentional networks and autistic traits; and between attentional networks and schizotypal traits. Methods: A total of 449 volunteers was included in this study, and autism-spectrum quotient (AQ), schizotypal personality questionnaire (SPQ), and attention network test (ANT) were used to measure autistic traits and schizotypal traits. The three independent attentional networks, including alerting network, orienting network, and executive control network, were also measured. Results: Autistic traits were associated with the orienting network, whereas schizotypal traits were associated with the orienting network and executive control network. Furthermore, attentional networks could be predicted by specific dimensions of autistic and schizotypal traits. AQ-attention switching [0.104 (-1.175– -0.025), p=0.041] and AQ-attention to detail [-0.097 (-0.798– -0.001), p=0.049] were significant predictors of orienting network and gender were significant predictor of executive network (Beta=0.107; 95% CI=-0.476–10.139; p=0.031). Whereas, schizotypal dimension “interpersonal” was a significant predictor of all three attentional networks [Alerting: 0.147 (-0.010–0.861), p=0.045; Orienting: 0.147 (0.018–0.733), p=0.040; Executive: 0.198 (0.215–1.309), p=0.006]. Conclusion This study demonstrated that autistic and schizotypal traits were associated with attentional networks. The specific dimensions of autistic and schizotypal traits could predict attentional networks. Nevertheless, the attentional networks predicted with these two traits were different.

Objective To study the features and neural mechanism of pain empathy in autistic individuals.MethodsTotally 21 subjects with high level autistic traits and 22 subjects with low level autism traits completed the pain empathy task,recording RT and accuracy automatically.The event-related potentials(ERPs) were recorded by Neuroscan system simultaneously.Results(1)From the behavioral results,the IRI scores of the two groups had significant differences in the factors of perspective taking ((23.71±4.16) vs (26.95±3.24)),empathy concerning ((24.10±4.04) vs (26.36±2.82)) and personal distress ((24.19±3.59) vs (19.82±3.96)) (t=-2.86,P<0.01;t=-2.14,P<0.05;t=3.79,P<0.01).The factor of fantasy of the two groups didn't exit significant differences (t=-1.50,P>0.05).(2) According to the behavioral result of pain empathy test,the main effect of task type in reaction time and accuracy of the two groups had significant difference (F(1,41)=24.21,P<0.01;F(1,41)=152.10,P<0.01),but the main effect of emotion type and group didn't reach significant level (F(1,41)=1.11,P>0.05,F(1,41)=0.29,P>0.05;F(1,41)=3.20,P>0.05,F(1,41)=0.14,P>0.05).(3)From the results of ERP,the main effect of emotion type,task type and group didn't reach the significant level in the N2 amplitude of the two groups(F(1,41)=0.04,P>0.05;F(1,41)=0.08,P>0.05;F(1,41)=3.86,P>0.05).The main effect of emotion type had significant difference in the P3 amplitude of the two groups(F(1,41)=8.27,P<0.01),but there was no significant difference in the main effect of task type and group(F(1,41)=2.48,P>0.05,F(1,41)=0.25,P>0.05).It had significant difference in LPP amplitude in the main effect of emotion type,task type and group(F(1,41)=32.07,P<0.01;F(1,41)=8.63,P<0.01;F(1,41)=4.73,P<0.05).ConclusionsThere are differences in the abilities of empathy between the high and low level autistic traits groups,especially in the late processing of pain empathy.
