蜕皮甾酮对冠状动脉闭塞致大鼠心肌梗死的有益作用及机制

目的 探讨植物有效成分蜕皮甾酮（ecdysteron,EDS)对心肌梗死有益作用,并探讨其机制。方法 采用冠状动脉左前降支结扎致大鼠心肌梗死模型,ip EDS,连续7d。测定血清肌酸磷酸激酶（CPK）、谷草转氨酶（GOT）、乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）活性、心肌梗死面积、冠状动脉血清、毛细血管密度及血管内皮生长因子（VEGF）的表达量。结果 0．5,5,50mg/kgEDS能剂量能依赖地影响大鼠血清CPK、GOT、LDH活性,以5mg/kg剂量的EDS降低心肌酶谱为最佳。5mg/kgEDS能明显减少心肌梗死面积、增加冠状动脉血流量、毛细血管密度和VEGF表达量。结论 EDS能减轻冠状动脉结扎致心肌梗死,机制在于促进VEGF的表达和毛细血管再生及增加冠状动脉血流量。     

Utilidad de la embolización vascular prequirúrgica de tumores renales con trombo tumoral en la vena renal izquierda

Introduction and objectivesPreoperative renal artery embolization (PRAE) for large renal masses may be performed prior to nephrectomy in order to simplify the procedure and reduce intraoperative bleeding. The objective of this work is to determine the role of PRAE on intraoperative bleeding and postoperative complications in left renal tumors with tumor thrombus limited to the left renal vein (level 0).Material and methodsRetrospective analysis to evaluate 46 patients who underwent left radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma with level 0 tumor thrombus during the period 1990-2020. PRAE was limited to those cases in which surgical access to the main renal artery was presumed a priori difficult in the preoperative imaging study (n = 9; 19.6%). Intraoperative bleeding was estimated based on the perioperative transfusion rate, and postoperative complications were categorized according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. The Chi-squared test was used for comparisons. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify predictors of transfusion and complications.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the overall complication rate (11.1% vs. 32.4%, P = .19), major complication rate (0% vs.8.1%, P = .51), or transfusion rate (11.1% vs. 19%, P = .49) between both groups (PRAE vs. non-PRAE). In the multivariate analysis, PRAE did not behave as a predictor of complications (OR:0.11, 95%CI 0.01-2.86; P = .18) nor transfusion (OR:0.46, 95%CI 0.02-7.38;P = .58).ConclusionsIn our study on left renal cell carcinomas with level 0 tumor thrombus and difficult access to the main renal artery, PRAE was not associated with increased bleeding or postoperative complications, and it did not behave as an independent predictor of these variables. Therefore, it could be used as a preoperative maneuver to facilitate vascular management in selected cases.     

Epistaxis

Epistaxis is a common problem that can affect the whole population. The majority of cases are self-limiting and do not require any medical intervention, but epistaxis can be associated with morbidity and even death in very rare circumstances. If epistaxis does not resolve with first aid measures, or episodes are frequent, patients may require specialist assessment and treatment by ENT, either in the outpatient clinic or via an unscheduled (emergency) admission to the hospital. Here, we provide an overview of the management of epistaxis in the outpatient setting and during an emergency admission in both paediatric and adult patients. We highlight the key considerations in the history and management, covering the common and rare conditions that are associated with epistaxis. This article provides an update from our previous article published in 2018 to include the more recent literature and a useful learning resource for examinations.     

Aneurysm of anomalous splenic artery arising from a splenomesenteric trunk: Review of the literature with a report of a new case

IntroductionAneurysm of splenic artery arising from splenomesentric trunk is an extremely rare condition. The aim of this study is to report a new case with literature review.Presentation of caseA 52-year-old housewife presented with mild central abdominal pain for two month duration. Abdomen was soft. Abdominal ultrasound examination showed a focal aneurysmal dilatation in the splenic artery (SA) near the portal vein. Abdominal computed tomographic angiography (CTA) revealed presence of the splenomesentric trunk with fusiform aneurysm (45 × 33 mm) of the proximal part of the SA. In supine position, through upper midline laparotomy incision, exploration of both superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and SA was performed, total excision of the aneurysm was done, the SMA was side-repaired and SA was ligated. The post-operative period was uneventful.DiscussionIt is interesting to note that orthotopic SA aneurysms, most commonly present in the distal third of the artery, followed by the middle third, while in cases of splenomesentric trunk, all reported cases of anomalous SA aneurysms including the current one, showed the aneurysms to be located in the proximal portion or root of the SA.ConclusionSplenomesentric trunk is a rare anatomical anomaly, aneurysm of which is even rarer. It can be managed either by endovascular intervention or open surgery.

Biofluid Aspects of Embryo Transfer

Embryo transfer (ET) is the last stage of extracorporal fertilization during which the embryo is placed in the uterine cavity with a medium-filled catheter 2–3 days after in vitro fertilization. While fertilization in the laboratory occurs at very high rates (>:90%), the overall success of the procedure (i.e., take home baby) is still very low (<25%) and assumed to be mainly due to implantation failure. A computational model was developed to simulate ET within the uterine cavity by a fluid-filled catheter inserted into a two-dimensional channel with oscillating walls. The results showed that the speed at which the embryos are injected from the catheter dominates the procedure and controls the velocity of their transport within the uterine cavity. ET at excessively high injection speeds may lead to ectopic pregnancies, while uterine peristalsis affects transverse dispersion only during injection at low injection speeds. The presence of the catheter within the uterus does not affect flow patterns downstream of its tip. The potential risks to implantation failure due to mechanical factors involved in the ET processes are discussed. © 2003 Biomedical Engineering Society. PAC2003: 8719-j, 8710+e
