Chinese Journal of Radiology.1999;0(10):-.

Objective To analyze CT findings of blunt laryngeal trauma (BLT) and evaluate the value of CT in the diagnosis of BLT. Methods CT diagnosis and treatment of 16 patients with BLT were reviewed. Results Soft tissue injuries were detected in five cases including swelling of the aryepiglottic folds, the false or true vocal cords and airway narrowing in four, and left cricoarytenoid dislocation and card paralysis in one. Supraglottic injuries in two cases including c fractures of the epiglottis in 2 and associated with a laceration of the aryepiglottic folds and the hypopharynx. Glottic injuries in four cases including ventricle fracture of the right thyroid ala in one and midline ventricle or comminute fractures of the thyroid cartilage in three, a square segment of cartilage was depressed into the larynx, and the true vocal cords and the anterior commissure were disrupted in one of this series. Subglottic injuries in five cases including cricoid ring fracture on the opposite side following a lateral force in one, with the fragment depressed into the larynx. Two showed marked comminution of the cricoid ring. Midline vertical fracture of the posterior cricoid plate associated with the laceration of the first tracheal ring in one, and one presented marked disruption of the right cricothyiod joint. Conclusion CT clearly shows the extent of cartilaginous injury and displacement, related soft tissue changes and the degree of resulting airway encroachment, and it may be successfully used to determine the need for open exploration and repair in selected cases of blunt trauma to the larynx.

Chinese Journal of Radiology.1999;0(10):-.

Objective To investgate the value of interventional therapy in inferior vena cava stenosis or obstruction caused by tumor and management after the operation. Methods 53 patients with IVC stenosis caused by tumor had detailed information. After the guide wire passed through the stenosised part and then undergoing balloon expansion, Gianturco Z stents or wallstents were implanted to undergo venography and measuring pressure after that. Results Technical success was attained in 50 patients, 3 cases was failure because the guide wire couldn't pass through the obstructed region.The technical success rate is 94.3%. 2 patients with IVC stenosis over 10 cm length was placed two stents. In other 48 patients,everyone was placed one stent. The pressure of IVC dropped from (28.66?4.08)cm H 2O (1 cm H 2O =0.098 kPa) before operation to (17.65?4.18)cm H 2O after operation. Through t examination, the difference of IVC pressure before and after treatment has statistic significance( t =3.261, P

Chinese Journal of Radiology.1999;0(10):-.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of TNF and IL 2 recombinant adenoviruses via intra arterial injection on metastatic liver cancer in rat model. Methods Recombinant adenoviruses harboring hTNF ? or hIL 2 gene were amplified in 293 cells and subjected to titration by the pathogenetic effects on 293 cell. The rats bearing metastatic liver cancer of Walker 256 breast carcinoma were randomly grouped and administered via gastra intestinal artery with hTNF ? recombinant adenoviruses alone, or hIL 2 recombinant adenoviruses alone, or at the dose of 1.0?10 9 pfu/rat. The therapeutic effects were observed including their survival time. Results The prepared recombinant adenoviruses of hTNF ? and hIL 2 were with the titers of 2.0?10 9 pfu/ml and 2.1?10 9 pfu/ml, respectively. 1.0 ?10 9 pfu hTNF was the proper dose. Administration of hTNF ? or hIL 2 recombinant adenoviruses via hepatic artery could extend the survival time of metastatic liver cancer bearing rats, with the better therapeutic effects achieved by combinatorial administration of these two adenoviruses. Conclusion Arterial administration of adenoviruses may be an effective approach to targeted immunogene therapy for cancer.
