ABSTRACT
Purpose To investigate the significance of procedural arteriography in interventional embolization of adrenal metastasis, due to the fact that it is usually difficult to seek feeding arteries in the treatment of adrenal metastasis using interventional embolization. Materials and Methods Eighteen patients with adrenal metastasis were treated with procedural arteriography and interventional embolization therapy, the source and number of feeding arteries was retrospectively analyzed. Results The total success rate of procedural arteriography was 95.5%. The abnormal feeding arteries which were discovered by procedural arteriography accounted for 29.0%. The number of feeding arteries was two, which were mainly derived from inferior suprarenal artery and superior suprarenal arteries. Conclusion The source of feeding arteries of adrenal metastasis is abundant and the variability is obvious, thus procedural arteriography should be used to the greatest extent during operation of digital subtraction angiography to avoid omission of feeding arteries.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the curative effect of pure 1 25 I treatment to non-small cell lung cancer combined obstructive pneumonia.Methods 28 cases with non-small cell lung cancer combined obstructive pneumonia were enrolled.Treatment planning system was used to calculate the dosage of tumor and make up the therapeutic plan.CT-guided radiation treatment of particle im-plantation was then conducted.Follow-up was done to evaluate the curative effect one to two months after treatment.Results The total effective rate of therapeutic evaluation was 89.3%.Clinical symptoms including chest distress,hard breathing and fever were ameliorated remarkedly.Life quality score of appetite and fatigue was also improved.White blood cell reduced significantly in blood routine examination.Conclusion There is a definite curative effect of pure 1 25 I treatment to non-small cell lung cancer combined ob-structive pneumonia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the 2 methods of the flow cytometry and the microcolumn gel agglutination assay for testing anti-ABO Ig G antibody.Methods The flow cytometry and the microcolumn gel agglutination assay were adopted to detect the an-ti-ABO IgG antibody in the O blood type pregnant women(experimental group)and the A/B blood type pregnant women (control group).The difference in the positive rates between the experimental and control groups and the correlation between these two methods were analysed.The different titers of samples were selected for detection on different days to compare their reproducibili-ty.Results 300 samples from the experimental goup and 300 samples from the control group were collected.The detection results of 2 methods showed that the positive rates of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group with statistical difference(P <0.05).The correlation coefficients(rs )between these two methods were 0.694.The coefficient of variation in the flow cytometry was smaller than that in the microcolumn gel agglutination assay(P <0.05).Conclusion ABO blood type in-compatibility is more common in O type pregnant women.The flow cytometry and the microcolumn gel agglutination assay possess good correlation.The reproducibility of the flow cytometry is better than that of microcolumn gel agglutination assay.
