ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Erythropoietin and progenitor cel transplantation both have therapeutic effects on lower extremity arterial occlusive disease. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the erythropoietin modification effect and magnetic resonance imaging feasibility of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-labeled endothelial progenitor cel s in vitro. METHODS:Rat bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cel s at logarithmic growth phase were randomized into four groups:endothelial progenitor cel group, SPIO labeled transfection group (pcDNA3-EPO transfection fol owed by SPIO labeling), SPIO labeled empty vector group (empty plasmid transfection fol owed by SPIO labeling), and SPIO labeling group (only SPIO labeling). 4.7T MRI was used to observe SPIO-labeled endothelial progenitor cel s. Cel proliferation, cel cycle distribution, and expression of erythropoietin protein in the four groups were measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:MRI findings showed with the increasing cel number, gradual y lowered signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2WI and T2*WI was seen, and the reduction in the signal intensity was the maximum on T2*WI sequence and the minimum on T1WI sequence. For T1WI, T2WI and T2*WI sequences, the minimum number of cel s was 2×104, 1×104 and 0.5×104, respectively. Cel proliferation and cel cycle distribution showed no significant difference among three SPIO labeling groups. In addition, the expression of erythropoietin protein was only found in the SPIO-labeled transfection group. These findings showed that under SPIO labeling, erythropoietin gene-modified endothelial progenitor cel s show no changes in cel proliferation and cel cycle, and the 4.7T MR is capable of imaging SPIO-labeled erythropoietin gene-modified endothelial progenitor cel s in vitro.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of therapy of the trisacryl gelatin microspheres combinee the gelatin sponge particle on embolize the bronchial artery in acute massive hemoptic patients. Methods One huneree cases with massive hemoptysis were selectee as our subjects ane eivieee into control ane research group(n = 50 for each group). Patients in control group were given only gelatin sponge particle,ane in research group were given the trisacryl gelatin microspheres combinee the gelatin sponge particle to embolize the bronchial artery. All cases were followee up for more than 12 months. Ane the effect of therapy was recoreee. Results In research group,42 cases(84. 0% ,42 / 50)were got the bleeeing stop immeeiately after embolization,7 cases in 72 h(14. 0% ,7 / 50),ane the effective rate of hemostasis was 98. 0%(49 / 50). In the control group,41 case(82. 0% ,41 / 50)were got the stop bleeeing immeeiately,8 cases in 72 h(16. 0% , 8 / 50),ane the effective rate of hemostasis was 98. 0%(49 / 50). There was no statistic eifference between two groups(P > 0. 05). After more than one year follow-up,3 cases(6. 12% )were reoccurree in the therapy group ane 15 cases(30. 61% )was in the control group. The eifference was significant between two groups after surgery for one year( χ2 = 9. 801,P < 0. 01 ). There was no serious complication in patients of two groups. Conclusion The operation of BAE is effective therapy for the massive hemoptoe,ane it is provee to be a safe,effective ane lower rate of recurrence approach of the trisacryl gelatin microspheres combinee the gelatin sponge particle for eouble embolzation the bronchial artery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the care measures of microspheres arterial embolization in the treatment of primary liver cancer after TACE.Methods The chemotherapy drugs were injected through the catheter superselectively inserted to the left and right hepatic arteries,microspheres and super liquefied iodipin were used for tumor embolization,preoperative and postoperative care were provided to patients.Results Through the full nursing care of 50 cases of liver cancer patients,the occurrence of adverse effects and complications after surgery were reduced,enthusiasm of patients with treatment were confirmed,and the effect of the treatment was improved.Conclusions Treatment of liver cancer by hepatic artery perfusion chemo-embolization is an effective means,using scientific methods of effective care for patients is very important.
