Objective To discuss the therapeutic effect of uterine arterial embolization in treating adenomyosis.Methods Uterine arterial embolization was performed in 80 patients with adenomyosis.The patients were followed up for 3,6,12 and 24 months after the operation.After the treatment the degree of dysmenorrhea,the menstrual flow and the uterine volume were observed and were compared with those before the treatment.Results After uterine arterial embolization the clinical symptoms were relieved in all 80 patients.The menstrual flow was markedly decreased,the anemia was obviously improved and the uterine volume was significantly reduced,while the ovary functioning was not apparently affected.The symptom of dysmenorrhea completely disappeared one month after the therapy in 76 cases and four months after the therapy in the remaining 4 cases.Conclusion Uterine arterial embolization is a mini-invasive and safe therapy with remarkable therapeutic results and few side-effects.Therefore,this treatment can significantly improve the patient's living quality.

Objective To explore the risk factors for postoperative agitation (PA) in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods 199 patients with CP receiving selective posterior rhizotomy or lower limbs orthopedics under combined intravenous and inhalational anesthesia were reviewed. Results 30 patients suffered from PA (15%), who tended to be younger, less body mass, and administered less anesthetics.Conclusion It may prevent PA of sufficient intra-operative and postoperative analgesia, necessary psychological intervention and sedatives.
