End-to-side anastomosis of rat carotid artery: comparison of different types of section and shape of the terminal end

Summary In 50 rats, different types of end-to-side carotid artery anastomoses were compared. In one technique, a longitudinal split in the long axis of the vessel was performed to enhance the diameter of the anastomosis. This theoretical advantage was not confirmed in this series. The clamping time, anastomoses time, and tamponade time were increased significantly when compared with a simple, slightly oblique end-to-side anastomosis. This study highlighted that the most simple type of end-to-side anastomosis gave less bleeding, achieved a quicker water-tight anastomosis and decreased the risk of late problems.     

Arterial embolization as preoperative treatment for pulmonary aspergillosis with hemoptysis

Pulmonary aspergillosis associated with old tuberculosis is generally resistant to treatment. Thus, if patients are treated only with conservative therapy, their condition continues to deteriorate due to repetitive hemoptysis, and may even become critical. Surgical treatment is required for these patients; however, it is extremely difficult to resect the lesion due to severe adhesions to the chest wall and vascular proliferation surrounding the lesion. We performed preoperative arterial embolization, achieving good results in three patients with hemoptysis caused by pulmonary aspergillosis. The feeding arteries were embolized using microcoils and/or gelatin sponges, and a lobectomy was safely carried out in all patients. We concluded that preoperative arterial embolization is a safe and effective technique to prevent massive hemorrhage occurring at the time of surgery. This work was presented at the 11th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Association for Chest Surgery, held in Kyoto, Japan, May 13–14, 1994     

The anterior inferior cerebellar arterial network supplying the rat cochlea and its role in autoregulation of cochlear blood flow

Summary The sensitivity of the cochlea is dependent upon maintenance of a delicate homeostatic environment. One mechanism which participates in providing this environment is the autoregulation of cochlear blood flow. This autoregulation is ensured through the interaction of sympathetic, peptidergic and hemodynamic mechanisms. The current study demonstrates an adaptation that also participates in cochlear blood flow autoregulation. Specifically, an anterior inferior cerebellar arterial network is described and the relative contributions of each of its vessels to total cochlear blood flow is measured using laser Doppler flowmetry. The results show that each collateral vessel contributes to the blood supply of the cochlea and that reperfusion is accompanied by hyperemia. These findings suggest an adaptation that provides stable blood flow through redundancy and compensatory potential. Additionally, these observations have implications for experimental models of ischemia.     

阿霉素磁性明胶微球的研究

报告了阿霉素磁性明胶微球（Ａｄｒ－ＭＧ－ｍｓ）的制备与性质，研究了超细氧化铁粒子的合成和磁性明胶微球（ＭＧ－ｍｓ）在狗体内的栓塞效果。阿霉素磁性明胶微球由２％阿霉素（Ａｄｒ）、６８％明胶和３０％的磁铁粒子组成，微球的平均粒径为２２μｍ。在体外实验中，药物释放速度证明微球有缓释的性质。磁铁粒子的平均粒径约为１０ｎｍ，磁性明胶微球与￣（９９ｍ）Ｔｃ标记磁性明胶微球通过导管分别输入狗的肝动脉内进行栓塞，照相和血管造影显示在未加外磁场时磁性明胶微球在左右肝叶分布几乎相等，而在１２００高斯的外磁场作用下，靶部位肝左叶的微球分布是肝右叶的２．２５倍，而甲状腺、脑、心脏的微球很微量，结果表明磁性明胶微球在外磁场作用下是一个很好的治疗肝癌的栓塞剂。     

Diagnosis and therapy for primary hepatic carcinoma: Transcatheter inferior phrenic arteriography and chemoembolization

Summary Transcatheter inferior phrenic arterial (IPA) and hepatic arteriography was performed on 38 patients with advanced primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) with blood supplied by IPA and hepatic artery. 18 patients received single treatment with hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) or embolization (HAE) 20 received double treatment with IPA and hepatic arterial infusion or embolization. The results show that the double treatment is superior to the single one. The angiographic features and mechanism of parasitization of inferior phrenic arterial supply to PHC were also discussed.     

Oxidative modification of high density lipoprotein induced by cultured human arterial smooth muscle cells

Objective: To observe the oxidative modification of high density lipoprotein (HDL) induced by culturedhuman arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Methods: HDL cocultured with SMCs at 37℃ in 48 h was subjected,and native HDL (N-HDL) served as control. Oxidative modification of HDL was identified by using agarose gel electro-phoresis. Absorbances of conjugated diene (CD) and lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) were measured with ultravioletspectrophotometry at 234 and 560 nm respectively, and fluorescence intensity of thiobarbuturic acid reaction substance     

彩色多普勒超声对肝癌肝动脉化疗栓塞的疗效评价

目的 :探讨彩色多普勒超声 (CDFI)在评价肝癌肝动脉化疗栓塞 (TAE)疗效中的应用价值。方法 :对 4 8例原发性肝癌TAE术前、后行CDFI检查 ,观察肿瘤大小、血供及肝动脉、门静脉血流动力学改变。结果 :TAE术后大多数肿瘤均有不同程度缩小 ;肿瘤内部及周边血供明显减少 (P <0 0 5 ) ,以肿瘤内血流减少更明显 ,其血供减少程度与肿瘤缩小程度呈正相关 (r =0 75 ,P <0 0 0 1) ,肝动脉峰值流速明显下降 ,门静脉血流速度增快 (P <0 0 0 1)。结论 :CDFI能客观判断肿瘤大小及血流灌注状态 ,是目前检验肝癌TAE效果较理想的影像学检查方法

雾化吸入对新生儿肺炎患儿血氧饱和度的影响

采用动脉血氧饱和度仪对５２例新生儿肺炎患儿，在雾化吸入治疗过程中的动脉血氧饱和度（ＳａＯ２）进行了监测，对比了吸氧与否对ＳａＯ２改变的影响。结查表明：与基础值比较，雾化吸入时患儿的ＳａＯ２显著下降（Ｐ＜０．０１），而雾化吸入同时吸氧者ＳａＯ２无明显变化（Ｐ＞０．０５），但两者比较具有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结果提示雾化吸入可使新生儿肺炎患儿ＳａＯ２下降；同时吸氧，对防止ＳａＯ２的下降有一定作用。
