Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2011;34(14):29-31
Objective To investigate the risk factors and treatment experience of cerebral aneurysms rupture in the course of Gugliemi detachable coil (GDC) embolization. Methods From August 2000 to June 2010,420 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) received GDC embolization and their clinical data were retrospectively reviewed to analyse the risk factors of cerebral aneurysms rupture in the course of treatment. Results Sixteen patients had intraoperative aneurysm rupture, the incidence rate was 3.8%(16/420),including 13 cases density filling,3 cases partial filling postoperative.Univariate analysis showed:SAH episodes ≥2 times,tumor size ≤4 mm,the presence of pseudoaneurysm,Hunt-Hess grade Ⅳ - Ⅴ as well as history of hypertension were the risk factors of cerebral aneurysms rupture in the course of GDC embolization. Logistic regression analysis showed:SAH episodes ≥2 times (P = 0.0424,OR =6.798)and the presence of pseudoaneurysm (P = 0.0069, OR = 4.423) were the independent risk factors of cerebral aneurysms rupture. Conclusions Rupture of intracranial aneurysm in the course of GDC embolization is mainly related to the multiple SAH and the presence of pseudoaneurysm. It should be alert to the risk factors and take active treatment as soon as the occurrence of rupture in clinic work, for this, most patients can get a good prognosis.

Objective: An automatic seamless stitching method with spinal X-ray image sequence is presented in this paper. Methods: First, biorthogonal wavelet transform is used to implement decomposing of the multi-resolution and the effective edge of the image can be extracted by this method combined with Canny operator. The feature points of the image can be obtained by calculating the edge contour matrix E and the value matrix H. Second, the roughly matching of feature points can be achieved by using Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC) algorithm and the random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is introduced to remove false matching pairs and to achieve precisely matching. Third, the image sequence is automatically sorted with the improved genetic algorithm to achieve automatic stitching. At last, the weighted average fusion algorithm is appfied to achieve smooth and seamless image stitching. This algorithm is robust for the weak-contrast X-ray image sequence. Results: Experimental results show that high-quality and fast image sequence stitching can be obtained automatically by using this method. Conclusions: To a certain extent, it overcomes the shortcomings of X-ray image sequence such as the strong image noise, concentration of values ofpixels, blurred boundaries, large overlap area and the sequence constraint, and therefore it may be applied to in medical imaging field widely.

Objective To assess the prediction value of nonbronchial systemic arterial supply in hemoptysis patients with non-enhanced CT. Methods Fifty-six consecutive patients with hemoptysis underwent non-enhanced CT. Thickness of pleural adjacent to parenchymal lesion larger than 3 mm was regarded as index of nonbronchial systemic arterial supply. Conventional angiography was used as the standard of reference. CT findings were compared with those of conventional angiography. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CT for predicting nonbronchial systemic arterial supply were assessed. Results The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CT for predicting nonbronchial systemic arterial supply were 72.73%, 95.00% and 91.11%, respectively. Sensitivity was higher when nonbronchial systemic arterial supply located in superolateral and posterolateral lung, and lower in anteromedial and inferior lung. Specificity and accuracy were high for predicting nonbronchial systemic arterial supply in every locations. Conclusion Non-enhanced CT can predict nonbronchial systemic arterial supply in patients with hemoptysis, which is helpful for selecting angiography and embolization.

Objective:To investigate the value of CT angiography (CTA) point sign in the treatment of patients with moderate amount basal ganglia hemorrhage at ultra-early stage by trephination and drainage or craniotomy, and its influence in the prognoses.Methods:One hundred and twenty-six patients with moderate amount basal ganglia hemorrhage (30-60 mL) admitted to our hospital from March 2017 to March 2019 were chosen in our study; these patients were evaluated and conformed to have the same tolerance of craniotomy or drainage; and their families agreed to the ultra-early surgical treatments; their clinical data were retrospectively collected. They all accepted CTA before operation. Among them, 68 were into the craniotomy group, including 38 into CTA spot sign negative sub-group and 30 into positive sub-group; 58 were into the trephination and drainage group, including 39 into CTA spot sign negative sub-group and 19 into positive sub-group. The differences of favorable prognosis rate and postoperative re-hemorrhage rate were compared between the craniotomy group and trephination and drainage group, as well as each two sub-groups.Results:The favorable prognosis rate and postoperative re-hemorrhage rate of patients in the craniotomy group (61.8% and 2.9%) were significantly lower as compared with those in the trephination and drainage group (82.8% and 15.5%, P<0.05). In the craniotomy group, the favorable prognosis rate and postoperative re-hemorrhage rate in the CTA spot sign positive sub-group (60.0% and 4.8%) were higher than those in the negative sub-group (63.2% and 2.1%), without significant differences ( P>0.05); in the trephination and drainage group, the favorable prognosis rate and postoperative re-hemorrhage rate in the CTA spot sign positive sub-group (63.2% and 36.8%) were significantly different as compared with those in the negative sub-group (92.3% and 5.1%, P<0.05). Conclusion:Among patients with moderate amount basal ganglia hemorrhage, prognoses can be effectively improved in the following treatments: if the patients have negative CTA spot sign, are evaluated to have low risk of postoperative re-hemorrhage after craniotomy or drainage, and are considered that the prognosis by drainage is better than that by craniotomy, trephination and drainage should be selected; if the patients have positive CTA spot sign, and are evaluated to have lower risk of postoperative re-hemorrhage by craniotomy than that by drainage, craniotomy should be selected.
