ObjectiveTo explore the influence of different radiation doses of 125Ⅰseed on human poorly differentiated gastric cancer cells (BGC823). MethodsSixty four male nude mice of BLAB nu/nu inoculated with human poorly differentiated gastric cancer cells (BGC823) were took as animal models. When tumors of nude mice grew to 0.7-1.2 cm, the nude mice were randomly divided into blank control group, low dose group, middle dose group, and high dose group (n=16). The tumors of nude mice in blank control group were implanted with blank seed, but tumors of nude mice in low dose group, middle dose group, and high dose group were implanted with 125Ⅰseed (the radiation doses of 3 groups were 1.48×10-7 Bq, 2.22×10-7 Bq, and 2.96×10-7 Bq respectively). Four nude mice of 4 groups were randomly collected to measure the tumor volume and weight before implantation, and on 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after implantation, but apoptosis rates and expression levels of cyclinE mRNA were measured on 14 days and 28 days after implantation, by using flow cytometer and semi quantitative RT-PCR method respectively. Results①Except for the blank control group, the tumor volume and weight decreased over time in low dose group, middle dose group, and high dose group. The tumor volume and weight in blank control group were higher than those of other 3 groups on 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after implantation (P < 0.05);in addition, on 28 days after implantation, tumor volume and weight in low dose group were lower than those of middle dose group and high dose group (P < 0.05).②On 14 days and 28 days after implantation, the apoptosis rates of blank control group were lower than those of other 3 groups (P < 0.05), but expression levels of cyclinE mRNA were all higher than those of other 3 groups (P < 0.05). In addition, on 28 days after implantation, apoptosis rate of low dose group was higher than both of middle dose group and high dose group (P < 0.05), but expression level of cyclinE mRNA was lower (P < 0.05). Compared with 14 days in the same group, except for the blank control group (P > 0.05), the apoptosis rates in other 3 groups on 28 days were higher (P < 0.05), with the lower expression levels of cyclinE mRNA (P < 0.05). Conclusions125Ⅰseed in organizational implantation can effectively inhibit the expression of cyclinE mRNA and the growth of human poorly differentiated gastric cancer tissue. Compared with doses of 2.22×10-7 Bq and 2.96×10-7 Bq of 125Ⅰ, low dose (1.48×10-7 Bq) contributes to the apoptosis of human poorly differentiated gastric cancer cells (BGC823).
ObjectiveTo investigate the significance of Fogarty catheter embolectomy combined with multiple minimally invasive techniques for acute limb ischemia. MethodsClinical data of 88 cases(88 limbs) of lower limb ischemia who were treated in our hospital from Feb. 2007 to Jan. 2011 were collected and analyzed. Of the 88 patients, 46 cases were operated by Fogarty catheter embolectomy(embolectomy group), 42 cases were operated by Fogarty catheter embolectomy combined with multiple minimally invasive techniques(combination group). Comparisons of the clinical indexes of ankle-brachial index(ABI), saturation of blood oxygen(SO2) of toes, and temperature of foot skin before and after operation were performed between the 2 groups, as well as the incidence of mortality, complication, and amputation after operation. ResultsCompared with before operation in the same group, the value of ABI, SO2, and temperature of foot skin in the 2 groups were higher(P<0.05), as well as the 3 kinds of indexes were both higher in combination group after operation(P<0.05). The rates of mortality, amputation, myonephropathic metabolic syndrome(MNMS), osteofascial compartment syndrome, and transient renal insufficiency were 13.04%(6/46), 17.39%(8/46), 26.09% (12/46), 26.09%(12/46), and 13.04%(6/46) respectively, the corresponding rates in combination group were 4.76% (2/42), 7.14%(3/42), 14.29%(6/42), 9.52%(4/42), and 9.52%(4/42) respectively, which were all lower in combination group(P<0.05). ConclusionFogarty catheter embolectomy combined with multiple minimally invasive techniques can be one of the surgical treatment methods for acute limb ischemia, which is characterized by minimally invasive surgery and effective treatment.
ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic evaluation of catheter-directed thrombolysis combined with multiple minimally invasive techniques of endovascular in the treatment of lower extremity atherosclerotic occlusive disease (ASO). MethodsClinical data of 64 ASO patients who were treated in our hospital from June 2011 to October 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. These patients were divided into two groups according to the therapies:33 patients were treated by catheter-directed thrombolysis combined with multiple minimally invasive techniques of endovascular (combination group), and the other 31 patients were only treated by multiple minimally invasive techniques of endovascular (intervention group). Comparison of the clinical indexes was performed between the 2 groups, including vascular patency rate, stent implantation rate, operation time, ankle-brachial index (ABI), saturation of blood oxygen (SO2) of toes, temperature of foot skin, amputation rate, and hospitalization expense. ResultsIn the same group (combination group and intervention group), compared with the time point of before operation, the clinical indexes of the ABI, SO2 of toes, and temperature of foot skin were higher after operation (P<0.05). At the same time point of before or after operation, there were no significant difference between the 2 groups in ABI, SO2 of toes, and temperature of foot skin (P>0.05). The vascular patency rate of combination group was higher than that of intervention group[97.0% (32/33) vs. 83.9% (26/31)], P<0.05. But the stent implantation rate[18.2% (6/33) vs. 64.5% (20/31)], amputation rate[3.0% (1/33) vs. 16.1% (5/31)], operative time[(2.0±0.5) h vs. (4.0±1.1) h], and hospitalization expense of patients who got successful limb salvage[(8 500±1 200) yuan vs. (34 000±2 100) yuan] of combination group were all lower or shorter than those of intervention group (P<0.05). After operation, there were no complication happened in the patients who got successful limb salvage of combination group (n=32) and intervention group (n=26). In postoperative 6 months, the lower extremity arteries in patients who got successful limb salvage of combination group and intervention group were all examined by color ultrasonography, and they were unblocked. The lower extremity arteries of the patients with stent implantation in the 2 groups suffered with no obvious stenosis or occlusion. ConclusionsCatheter-directed thrombolysis combined with multiple minimally invasive techniques of endovascular can become one of the surgical treatment methods for ASO, which characterized by minimally invasive operation, effective treatment, and low cost.
ObjectiveTo assess the therapeutic effect of catheter thrombolysis combined with inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement in treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) complicated with floating IVC thrombus. MethodsThe clinical data of 16 patients with DVT complicated with floating IVC thrombus from July 2013 to November 2014 in this hospital were collected. These patients were treated with the catheter thrombolysis combined with IVC filter placement, the IVC filter was placed via jugular vein, the catheter thrombolysis was performed by the side of the small saphenous vein, the amount of urokinase was (60-80) ×104 U/d. Results①The floating IVC thrombi of 13 patients were disappeared following catheter thrombolysis combined with IVC filter placement therapy, a small amount of visible thrombi were adhered on the recycled IVC filter, the lower limb swelling was relieved, the IVC could effectively open.②The IVC filters of 2 patients could not be recycled due to the adhesion of floating IVC thrombus and lumen of IVC resulting in luminal stenosis.③The floating IVC thrombus of 1 patient was disappeared, the IVC filter could not be recy-cled due to a large of thrombi adhered on the IVC filter. The lower limb swelling was slowly relieved. The complications such as severe pulmonary embolism didn't happen in all the patients during treatment and following-up. ConclusionThe limited data preliminarily shows that it is an effective and safe method by catheter thrombolysis combined with IVC filter placement in treatment of DVT complicated with floating IVC thrombus.
