Objective: To compare the therapeutic efficacy between thrombin injection and local compression on femoral pseudoaneurysms by using color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI). Methods: Thirty-eight patients with intervention-induced femoral pseudoaneurysms were randomly assigned to ultrasound-guided thrombin injection (group A, n = 19) and ultrasound-guided local compression (group B, n = 19). The volume, diameter of abnormal channel, and systolic peak velocity (SPV) of pseudoaneurysms before and after the treatment, as well as the obliterating time after the treatment were measured by CDFI. The follow-up observation was done immediately after the treatment, at day 3 and day 7. Results: The obliterating time of abnormal charmels was 4.0 ± 1.7 minutes in group A. It was significantly shorter than group B (3.6 ± 3.0 d, P=0.000). Three days later, the effective cases (19/19) in group A were significantly higher than that of group B (13/19, P=0.020) during the follow up period. Seven days later, the mean volume of hematomas in both groups was 26 ± 15 mm3, and it was significantly smaller than that before the treatment (34 ± 18 mm3, P = 0.000). The mean volume decreased 9.4 ± 8.6 mm3 in group A. There was no significant difference as compared with group B (8.6 ± 8.7 mm3, P = 0.784). One patient in group B developed deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs. Conclusion: CDFI may objectively evaluate the morphology of femoral pseudoaneurysms and the hemodynamic changes before and after the treatment. The therapeutic effect of the ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for femoral pseudoaneurysms is superior to ultrasound-guided local compression.

Aim Tostudytheantidepressanteffectand mechanism of Gross saponins of Tribulus terrestris. Methods Themodelofdepressionwasestablishedby unpredictable chronic mild stress(UCMS),then open filed test (OFT)and tail suspension test (TST)were used to evaluate the behavioral changes.LC-MS/MS method was employed to measure blood neurotransmit-ters.mRNA expressions of IDO,IL-10 and IL-1βwere detected by quantitative PCR method.Hippocampus protein expression was detected by Western blot.Re-sults Comparedwithcontrolgroup,modelgroup's total distance,number of standing and tail suspension fixed time increased significantly (P <0. 05 ),Neuro-transmitter level of 5-HT in the blood was significantly decreased(P<0. 05 ).mRNA expression of IDO and IL-1βwas increased in hippocampus.Protein expres-sion of IDO was significantly increased in hippocampus (P <0. 05 ).Compared with model group,the treat-ment group was significantly decreased in total distance,number of standing and tail suspension fixedtime(P<0. 05).Neurotransmitter level of 5-HT in the blood and mRNA expression of IL-10 in hippocampus were significantly increased after treatment (P <0. 05 ).mRNA and protein expression of IDO were ob-viously down-regulated in hippocampus (P <0. 05 ). Conclusions GrosssaponinsofTribulusterrestriscan obviously improve rat behavior and show antidepressanteffect,which can increase neurotransmitter level of 5-HT in the blood,down-regulate mRNA expression of IDO and IL-1β,and obviously increase protein expres-sion levels of IDO in hippocampus(P<0. 05 ).

Objective To establish the animal model(rabbit) of shoulder instability for providing the experimental basis of related studies.Methods shoulder joints of 6 skeletally matured New Zealand white rabbits were measured with the anatomical characteristics and joint motion range in order to determine the operative approach,the similarities of skeletal structure,surrounding muscles,joint capsule and ligaments between rabbit and human were compared.Eighteen rabbits,weighing between 2.5 and 3kg were randomized into 2 groups(experimental group 12 and control 6).In experimental group,instability model was established by means of the operation procedure as follows:the glenohumeral joint of right shoulder was exposed by cutting the subscapularis tendon,then the anteroinferior labrum and surrounding capsular ligament were excised.For control group,sham operation was performed by only curing the skin and superficial tissue,the subscapularis tendon and glenoid structures was kept intact.The specimens of 6 rabbits were harvested 6 weeks after operation.The remaining rabbits of both experimental and control groups were killed 12 weeks post the operation for specimens processing.The motion range and instability were measured in all specimens.Results The gross anatomy of shoulder ioint in rabbit is similar to human.In experimental group,the stability is showed less than control,grade 2 anterior instability was found.The motion range was restricted in all directions,such as external and internal rotation,extension and abduction compared to control group.Conclusion Rabbit is suitable to establish animal model for shoulder instability and related iniuries,the animal model which was designed by this study could provide valuable information for the research of anterior shoulder instability.

Objective To compare the rates of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)and bleeding events of three different antiplatelet strategies during temporary withdrawal of antiplatelet therapy for non-cardiac surgery within 1 year after drug-eluting stent (DES)implantation.Methods Retrospectively analyzed 42 patients who had accepted non-cardiac surgery and required temporary withdrawal of antiplatelet therapy within 1 year after drug-eluting stent implantation. The patients were divided into three groups according to the bridging antiplatelet strategies they received.All patients discontinued clopidogrel 5 to 7 days before the non-cardiac surgery. The tirofiban group was treated with intravenous tirofiban 0.4ug/kg·min in the first 30 min followed 0.1μg/(kg·min). The dosage was reduced by half for patients whose Creatinine clearance were less than 30 ml/min.The low molecular weight heparin group was treated with subcutaneous enoxaparin (Clexane 4000 AxaIU, once per day) .The asprin group was given only oral asprin(100 mg, once per day) . Tirofiban and low molecular weight heparin were continued until clopidogrel was resured. Perioperative cardiovascular events and serious bleeding were recorded. Results The rates of major adverse cardiac events in the tirofiban and the low molecular weight heparin group were lower than the aspirin group. Acute myocardial infarction caused by confirmed in-stent thrombosis was diagnosed in one patient in the aspirin group. One case of asymptomatic ST-T changes was found in the low molecular weight the aspirin group. 3 cases in the aspirin group presented ST-T changes on ECG and among them 1 case was STEMI due to LAD thrombosis requiring primary and 2 other cases were agina pectoris.There were no significant differences in bleeding events among the three groups.Conclusions Potential for the perioperative management with tirofiban or low molecular weight heparin is safe and feasible for patients who had recently undergone DES implantation and required noncardiac surgery with the interruption of antiplatelet therapies.

Objective Hepatitis C virus patients are often accompanied by insulin resistance and diabetes.To probe the relative factors of abnormal glycometabolism in chronic HCV infections.Methods A total of 1 039 treatment-naive patients that were confirmed chronic HCV infected were enrolled in the study.The demographics,biochemical index parameters and other data about liver function and HCV viral load were got from infectious disease department of Jurong Pepole's Hospital in China.Results A total of 140 (13.5％) patients were diagnosed with some forms of abnormal glycometabolism.The body mass index (BMI) (x2 =9.231,P =0.010),waist circumference (x2 =7.984,P =0.018),systolic blood pressure (x2 =16.366,P ＜0.001),diastolic blood pressure (x2 =13.970,P =0.001),alanine aminotransferase(ALT) (x2 =4.809,P =0.028),HCV-RNA viral load (t =-3.818,P ＜0.001) were significantly different between non-diabetic HCV patients and abnormal glycometabolism patients.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ALT(OR =2.986,95％ CI:1.171-7.615) and HCV-RNA viral load (OR =2.061,95％ CI:1.165-3.644) were found as risk factors in multivariate regression analysis for patients with chronic hepatitis C who had abnormal glucose metabolism.Conclusions Chronic hepatitis C patients with higher ALT and HCV-RNA level were more probably to suffer from abnormal glycometabolism.In order to find potentially novel risk factors of HCV with abnormal glucose metabolisn,further studies about genetic and other clinical factors need to be processed.

Objective To explore the effects of passive smoking on vascular endothelial function in office women.Methods Totally,94 healthy office women volunteers from urban(36 women)and townships or towns(58 women)were divided into three groups based on the extent of their daily exposure to passive smoking,group A exposed to one to eight cigarettes,group B exposed to nine to 15 cigarettes,and group C exposed to more than 15 cigarettes,respectively,with 20 healthy young women without exposure to passive smoking as controls.Internal diameter of the brachial artery Was measured by color Doppler ultrasound scanning for each of the participants and its changes were observed before and after congestive reaction of the brachial artery test and nitroglycerin test.Results Thirteen of 36 office women from urban and 38 of 58 from townships or towns exposed to passive smoking of more than eight cigarettes daily,with chi-square of 7.74,P=0.0054.The brachial artery in groups A,B and C dilated less than that in the controls did.The brachial artery in group C dilated less than that in the groups A and B did.Conclusion Passive smoking could damage vascular endothelial dilatation function in office women.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for traumatic lumbar punctures in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Methods 132 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia totally received 2634 lumbar punctures. The basic data on age, sex, body mass index (BMI), platelet count, interval between two punctures, and presence or absence of ultrasound-guided procedure were collected and analyzed. The risk factors for traumatic lumbar puncture were identified by logistic regression. Results The risk for traumatic lumbar puncture was higher in children younger than 1 year, and it was relatively lower in those aged 1 to 10 years. The risk for traumatic lumbar puncture was slightly higher in children with a BMI index of more than 95. The longer the interval between two punctures, the lower the risk. If lumbar puncture was guided under ultrasound or radiographic images, the risk was much smaller. Conclusions Age of younger than 1 year, BMI index of more than 95, shorter interval between two punctures, and direct puncture can increase the risk for traumatic lumbar puncture.

Objective To analyze the prevalence of the various hematological malignancies (HM) in Harbin.Methods Study data was collected from January 2010 to December 2011.All cases were diagnosed and classified on the basis of blood test,bone marrow puncture,histochemical staining and typing and classified by the French American British classification.The age and sex distribution of HM and its subtypes were analyzed.Results Of 2214 Chinese people diagnosed with HM,acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (33.5 ％) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (29.9 ％) were the most prevalent and of 742 AML,the most frequent subtypes were M3.With the growth of age,the rates of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma (MM) were increased,but in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL),this trend was reversed.The distribution of HM increased with age between 0-60 years old,in above 60 years old,the frequency of some chronic HM including CLL,chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML),chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and MM were continued to rise,but other HM subtypes were decrease,lower than in 41-60 years old groups.This study also revealed that M0 and MPAL were more common in 0-20 years as well as ALL.For patients never drinking alcohol and drinking for at least 10 years maybe associated with acute leukemia [OR =1.53 (95 ％ CI 1.05-2.23)],while smoking wasn' t a substantial risk factor for acute and chronic leukemia (P =0.20,0.48).Conclusions The epidemiology of HM in Harbin indicates that AML is the most prevalent,followed by MDS.Prevalence of CLL and MM increases with the age in patients above 60 years old.Drinking for at least 10 years maybe associated with acute leukemia.
