Objective To explore the imaging features of external iliac artery-related postpartum hemorrhage, and to discuss its interventional therapy measures. Methods The clinical data and imaging findings of one patient with external iliac artery-related postpartum hemorrhage was retrospectively analyzed. The patient received interventional therapy at the intervention department of Shanxi provincial people ’s hospital. The relevant academic papers published in medical literature were reviewed. The common features of this condition were summarized, and the imaging features and the interventional therapy measures were discussed. Results A total of 4 patients, including authors’ case, with external iliac artery- related postpartum hemorrhage were reported in China. Of the 4 case , right external iliac artery-related postpartum hemorrhage was seen in 2 and bilateral external iliac artery-related postpartum hemorrhage was seen in other two. Embolization therapy of three abnormal branches of deep circumflex iliac artery that participated in the uterine blood supply was carried out. Immediately after the embolization the bleeding stopped. Conclusion For the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage, uterine arterial embolization should be followed by abdominal aorta angiography so as to check the external iliac artery. When recurrent bleeding occurs after uterine arterial embolization, the possibility that the abnormal branches of external iliac artery participates in the uterine blood supply should be considered. In performing the embolization of abnormal branches of external iliac artery, the catheter should be inserted to the distal end of the target vessel. Under DSA monitoring the embolic agent should be slowly injected into the targeted artery and the patient should be kept under close observation for blood reflux. Usually, the embolization of abnormal branches of external iliac artery will not cause ischemic symptoms of the pelvis and distal limbs.

Objective To study the correlation between microRNA (miRNA) polymorphism and the risk and clinical prognosis of acute radiation esophagitis in patients with esophageal neoplasms. Methods 256 patients with acute radiation esophagitis during radiotherapy were chosen as the experimental group, and 256 patients matched by age and sex without acute radiation esophagitis during radiotherapy were chosen as the control group. The polymorphism types of miRNA-146a (rs2910164) were determined by Taqman gene typing technology of ABI7900HT. The genotype distribution of miRNA-146a rs2910164 polymorphism in the experimental and control groups was analyzed. Logistic regression was performed to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95%confidence interval (95%CI ). Results The genotype frequencies of CC, GG and CG at miRNA-146a polymorphic site rs2910164 in the experiment and control group were 20.70 % (53/256) and 33.20 % (85/256), 45.32 % (116/256) and 40.63 % (104/256), 33.98 % (87/256) and 26.17 % (67/256), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between two groups (all P< 0.05). Compared with gene type CC, the OR values of acute radiation esophagitis in patients with gene type GC and GG were 0.654 and 0.627, respectively (P< 0.05), indicating that they had a low risk. The negative effect rates in patients with gene type GG, CG and CC were 7.69 % (8/104), 19.40 % (13/67) and 41.18 % (35/85), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the clinical prognosis among these genotypes (P< 0.05). Conclusion Gene type CC at miRNA-146a polymorphic site rs2910164 can increase the risk of acute radiation esophagitis and decrease the clinical prognosis in patients with esophageal neoplasms.

A novel antimicrobial peptide, named as perinerin (GenBank accession No. P84117), was isolated and characterized from Asian marine clamworms, Perinereis aibuhitensis Grube. Perinerin showes powerful and broad activity against both grampositive and gramnegtive bacteria in vitro, especially on Pseudemonas aeruginosa. To obtain large amounts of active perinerin and characterize its main physiochemical features, The perinerin weve expressed in Pichia pastoris. Intact perinerin gene amplified by the modified gene SOEing method(Gene splicing by overlap extension)was cloned into expression vector pPICZ?A and obtained recombinant vector pPICZ?APEN, then pPICZ?APEN was expressed in the Pichia pastoris GS115. The expressed sample was analyzed by TricineSDSPAGE. The results showed that Pichia pastoris was a suitable system producing the secreted form of perinerin. Bioactivity assay showed that the recombinant perinerin had marked antimicrobial effects.

AIM AND METHODSThe parameters of low frequency stimulation (LFS) were altered systematically (frequencies of 1, 3 or 5 Hz; number of pulses of pulses of 300 or 900; and time lag after high frequency stimulation (HFS) of 20 or 100 min) and examined their effects on depotentiation (DP) of long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission in CA1 neurons in hippocampal slices of rat.
RESULTSLTP could be induced by HFS (two trains of 100 Hz, 100 pulses, separated by 30 s) and be reversed to produce DP by a train of LFS of 900 pulses at 3 Hz given 20 min after HFS. DP induced by LFS could be blocked by NMDA receptor antagonist AP5 (50 micromol/L). And significantly reduced effect was observed for LFS at 1 Hz or 5 Hz, with smaller numbers of pulses or a longer time lag from LFS to HFS.
CONCLUSIONThe above results indicate that DP induced in CA1 neurons of rat hippocampal slices is strongly dependent on the parameters of LFS, and the process may be mediated through the NMDA receptor.

AIMTo explore whether endogenous catecholamine participates in the effect of interleukin-2 on the isolated heart.
METHODSThe number of premature ventricular contraction (PVC), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP), heart rate (HR) and coronary flow(CF)were recorded in isolated Langendorff perfused rat hearts.
RESULTS(1) 50 U/ml IL-2 increased the PVC number, LVDP LVEDP, HR and CF. (2) Pretreatment of reserpine or propranolol abolished the cardiac effect of IL-2 at 50 U/ml, while pretreatment with phentolamine did not change the effect of IL-2. (3) 200 U/ml IL-2 increased the number of PVC,but did not increase LVDP, LVEDP, HR and CF. (4) After pretreatment of reserpine or propranolol, IL-2 failed to increase the number of PVC, but caused decrease of LVDP, HR and CF, and elevation of LVEDP.
CONCLUSIONEndogenous catecholamine mediates the arrhythmogenic, positively chronotropic and inotropic effects of IL-2. IL-2 at 200 U/ml inhibits the cardiac function in the isolated rat heart.
