ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation between ponticulus of atlas and abnormal morphology of V3 segment of vertebral artery. Methods All patients included in this study were underwent CTA and 3D reconstruction examination of intracranial ponticulus and cervical in our workstation, as well as the site, shape of petals and its relationship with vertebral artery was observed. The diameter, shape and trail of vertebral V3 segment were measured and analyzed. The results were analyzed byχ2 test. Results A total of 195 sides (157 cases) ponticulus were detected in 613 cases (1 226 sides), the abnormal morphology of V3 segment of vertebral artery were 103 sides and combined with ponticulus 69 sides among them, including (according to side): the collectivity was 8.4% (103/1 226), combination ponticulus was 35.4% (69/195), uncombination ponticulus was 3.3%(34/1 031), and the risk with ponticulus was increased compared with no ponticulus, and showed statistical significance by Chi-square test(χ2=215.679,P=0.001). The difference of abnormality of vertebral artery was performanced in number, site and shape of ponticulus, we found that the ponticulus composite was 57.1%(12/21) and higher than ponticulus simple 32.8%(57/174)(χ2=4.873,P=0.027), the ponticulus borderl was 68.8%(11/16) which was also higher than ponticulus posticus(27.2%) and ponticulus lateralis(36.4%)in the ponticulus simple(χ2=11.357,P=0.030), the sharp ones (64.2%) were higher than the blunt(14.6%)in the tip of bony processes of the incomplete type ponticulus(χ2=26.813, P=0.001),the smaller ones were higher than the larger in the distance of the gap between the two tips of bony processes in the incomplete type ponticulus(χ2=9.212,P=0.010), and the smallerones(87.5%)were also higher than the larger(28.6%)in the diameter of the hole of complete type ponticulus(χ2=18.193,P=0.001), all of the above ones showed statistical significance among all groups by Chi-square test (P<0.05). Conclusions Ponticulus of atlas can significantly increase the risk of abnormal morphology of V3 segment of vertebral artery, and the differences of abnormality of vertebral artery were performed in number, site and shape of ponticulus, which included the ponticulus composite, ponticulus borderland, the shape tip of bony processes, the moderate distance between the two lip of bony processes, and the smaller diameter of complete type Ponticulus.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish the relationship of clinical pharmacist with hemodialysis patients through pharmaceutical care and select individualized therapeutic regime by pharmacists and physicians in order to reduce high blood pressure and improve quality of life in hemodialysis patients. METHODS:Hemodialysis patients with hypertension being in line with included cretria were collected and randomly divided into pharmaceutical care group(n=20) and non-pharmaceutical care group(n=21). RESULTS:After 3 months of treatment,in pharmaceutical care group SBP was decreased from 158 mmHg to 139 mmHg and DBP from 95 mmHg to 84 mmHg;in non-pharmaceutical care group SBP was decreased from 155 mmHg to 152 mmHg and DBP from 96 mmHg to 93 mmHg. There was significant difference between pharmaceutical care group and non- pharmaceutical care group (P
