Comparative study on the efficacy and safety of interventional therapy of uterine fibroid using Embosphere and Pingyangmycin lipiodol emulsion / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To observe the curative effect and safety of interventional therapy of uterine fibroids using Embosphere and Pingyangmycin lipiodol emulsion.Methods The clinical data of 120 cases with uterine fibroids treated in our hospital were reviewed,and the patients were according to the different treatments given,divided into two groups (each with 60 cases).Patients in control group were treated with interventional therapy of Pingyangmycin lipiodol emulsion,while patients in the study group were given interventional therapy of Embosphere.The clinical efficacy and safety in the two groups were compared.Results The total efficiency in the study group was 93.33%,which was significantly higher than that in the control group (75.00%),and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The comprehensive indexes after the treatment were improved in both groups compared with those before the treatment,and the improvement in the study group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Besides,the total incidence of adverse effects in the study group was 11.67%,which was significantly lower than that in the control group (26.67%)(P<0.05). Conclusion The interventional therapy using Embosphere has better effect on uterine fibroid compared with the therapy using Pingyangmycin lipiodol emulsion,which is worthwhile to be brought into clinical application.

Clinical Application of Percutaneous Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation with Intradisc Injection of Medical Ozone / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the curative effect and indications of medical ozone for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.Methods 10~20 ml(35~45 ug/ml) medical ozone was injected into the lumbar disc percutaneously each case. The patients were followed up for 6~12 months. Results 60 cases (66 lumbar discs) with lumbar disc herniation were treated with the injection of medical ozone. The total effective rate was 96.67% , excellent and good rate was 76%.The efficacy in herniation to be 30% of vertebral canal diameter and lumbardisc bulging group. Conclusion The treatment of lumbar disc herniation with medical ozone is simple,effective and no complications.
