ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of different stent oversize in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) on lumen remodeling of type B aortic dissection (TBAD).Methods:The clinical and follow-up data of 89 TBAD patients receiving TEVAR from Nov 2010 to Jun 2020 at Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the difference of proximal stent oversize, 89 patients were divided into: low oversize group (<10%, 47 cases) and high oversize group (≥10%, 42 cases). The changes of the normal vessel diameter and area at the proximal end of the stent and the long diameter, short diameter and area of the true/false lumen at the distal end of the stent at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery and postoperative complications were analyzed.Results:The change of proximal vessel diameter with time in the low oversize group is smaller than that in the high oversize group ( P<0.05),and the change of the distal false lumen area of the stent in the low oversize group was greater than that in the high oversize group ( P<0.05). The high oversize group was prone to retrograde type A aortic dissection (RTAD) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Low oversize stents are more conducive to the remodeling of the aortic lumen in the early and mid-term after TEVAR in TBAD patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the expression of RIP2 in colorectal cancer(CRC)tissues,and the inva-sion and migration was observed after RIP2 was increased in CRC cell line.Methods 48 cases of CRC paraf-fin-embedded specimens and 56 cases of tumor-adjacent tissues were collected,and expressions of RIP2 was tested by immunohistochemistry(IHC).pEGFP-RIP2 plasmid and JetPRIME were employed to increase the RIP2 in SW480 cells,and variety of invasion and migration was tested in SW480 cells.Results It was showed that expressions of RIP2 was lower in CRC tumors than in tumor-adjacent tissues(P<0.05).After RIP2 in-creased,migration ability of SW480 cells weakened.Conclusion The expression of RIP2 was decreased in CRC tissues,and it was closely related to tumor cell's invasion and metastasis.
