Objective To explore the guiding role of double volume reconstruction (DVRT) in interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms. Methods Ninety?six cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage with 115 aneurysms underwent total cerebrovascular angiography and interventional endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. They were randomly divided into observation group (n=48) and control group (n=48) according to random number method. In the control group, guided by the results of 2D?DSA and 3D?DSA 3D reconstruction, the aneurysm neck and tumor were fully exposed with the optimal position. the responsible aneurysms were performed with the interventional endovascular embolization. The operators finished the embolization According to the size and shape of aneurysms and the operative experience. In the observation group, the operators could speculate the embolization density of aneurysms by using the data of 3D reconstruction and digital subtraction reconstruction and adjusted the surgical plan to make the aneurysms had been completely embolized. The baseline data, treatment status, adverse cerebrovascular reaction and recurrence rate of aneurysms were compared between the two groups. All patients in the two groups were operated by Deputy chief surgeons or above of the neurosurgery department. The comparison of the counting data were tested by χ2. The measured data conformed to normal distribution were tested by independent sample t. Results Statistically, There was no significant differences in baseline data including sex, age, blood glucose, blood pressure and cerebral atherosclerosis between the two groups (P>0.05). Comparing the responsible aneurysms in different positions and sizes, the differences was not statistically significant (P>0.05).There was no statistically significant differences in the dosage of contrast media and the cost of operation between the two groups (P>0.05). The radiation dose and operation time in the observation group were smaller and shorter than those in the control group, but there was no statistical differences between the two groups (P<0.05). Statistically, The incidence of rerupture of aneurysm and thrombosis in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). and The incidence of cerebral infarction and the recurrence rate of aneurysm in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in sex, age, blood glucose, blood pressure and cerebral atherosclerosis between the two groups (P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the location and size of responsible arterial tumors (χ2=0.148, P=0.929).There was no significant difference in the dosage of contrast agent and the cost of operation between the two groups (t=-0.769, 0.225; P>0.05). The radiation dose and operation time were (479.81 ± 51.21)mGy, (103.52 ± 10.18) minin the observation group and (511.95 ± 53.26)mGy, (114.60 ± 9.51)min in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (t=-1.376,-2.516; P<0.05).There were 1 case of rerupture of aneurysm in the observation group, 4 cases in the control group;There were 0 cases of thrombus, respectively, 3 cases in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=11.748, 4.256; P<0.05).There were 0 cases postoperative cerebral infarction occurred in the observation group, and aneurysm recurrence in 1 case. Four cases postoperative cerebral infarction occurred in the control group, and aneurysm recurrence in 3 cases, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.719, 10.811; P<0.05). Conclusions The clinical effect of interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms under the guidance of double volume reconstruction is remarkable, and the effect of interventional embolization and the relationship with the peripheral vessels can be clearly demonstrated. It can reduce the incidence of adverse cerebral vascular reactions and the recurrence rate of aneurysms and reduce the intraoperative risk. It is worthy to be popularized in interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms and follow?up after operation.

Objective:To establish a good model of incomplete ablation of ectopic implanted tumor of liver, and explore the changes in the molecular landscape of residual cancer, cancer in nude mice.Methods:Eight immunodeficient BALB/c nude mice were used to establish an ectopic tumor model with the MHCC97-H hepatoma cell line, and they were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 4 mice in each group. The experimental group underwent simulated clinical incomplete ablation, and the control group only underwent false ablation. The differences between the models were evaluated by ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, thermal imaging cameras, HE staining and high-throughput whole transcriptome sequencing.Results:Liver cancer ectopic implantations in nude mices were all successful. The experimental group showed that the temperature of the tumor around the tip of the needle monitored by the thermal imaging camera was at 50-73.9 ℃. Compared with the control group, the HE staining of the experimental group mostly showed the coexistence of necrotic area-degeneration area-tumor cell area. The necrosis area was (23.75±13.77)%, and the degeneration area was 50%(30%). High-throughput whole transcriptome sequencing revealed that there were hundreds of overlapping stable molecular landscapes in the incomplete ablation simulation model both in vivo and in vitro.Conclusions:By establishing an ectopic implantion model of nude mice with incomplete ablation of residual liver cancer, it can provide a basis for studying the biological characteristics of incomplete ablation of residual cancer at the molecular level.

BackgroundMental illness during pregnancy has become a major public health problem in China over the recent years, and depression is the most common psychological symptom during pregnancy. Current research efforts are directed towards the therapy on prenatal depression, whereas the construction of prediction model for prenatal depression risk has been little studied. ObjectiveTo construct a simple model for predicting the risk of prenatal depression, thus providing a valuable reference for the prevention of maternal depression during pregnancy. MethodsA total of 803 pregnant women attending three hospitals in Nanchong city were consecutively recruited from May 2021 to February 2022. A self-administered questionnaire was developed for the assessment of social demographic variables, obstetrical and general medical indexes and psychological status of all participants, and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) was utilized to screen for the presence of maternal depression. Subjects were randomly assigned into modelling group (n=635) and validation group (n=168) at the ratio of 8∶2 under simple random sampling with replacement. The candidate risk factors of maternal depression during pregnancy were screened using binary Logistic regression analysis, and the predictive model was constructed. Then the performance of the predictive model was validated using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. Results① Lack of companionship (β=-0.692, OR=0.501, 95% CI: 0.289~0.868), low mood during the last menstrual period (β=-1.510, OR=0.221, 95% CI: 0.074~0.656), emotional stress during the last menstrual period (β=-1.082, OR=0.339, 95% CI: 0.135~0.853), unsatisfactory relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (β=-1.228, OR=0.293, 95% CI: 0.141~0.609), and indifferent generally relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (β=-0.831, OR=0.436, 95% CI: 0.260~0.730) were risk factors for prenatal depression in pregnant women (P<0.05 or 0.01). ② Model for predicting the prenatal depression risk yielded an area under curve (AUC) of 0.698 (95% CI: 0.646~0.749), the maximum Youden index was 0.357 in modelling group with the sensitivity and specificity was 0.606 and 0.751, and an AUC of 0.672 (95% CI: 0.576~0.767) and maximum Youden index of 0.263 in validation group with the sensitivity and specificity of 0.556 and 0.707. ConclusionThe simple model constructed in this study has good discriminant validity in predicting of the risk of prenatal depression.
