Eleven cases of FPA were enrolled and 7 cases received ultrasound-guide thrombin injection (injection group), and the remaining 4 cases were treated with local oppression (oppression group). Efficiency and safety were analyzed by ultrasound and subsequent follow-up. The results showed that 1 case relapsed in oppression group while no relapse occurred in thrombin injection group. Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection is better for treatment of FPA in terms of effectiveness and safety.展开更多

Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells have been shown to exhibit prospects in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the safety of their clinical application needs to be validated. To investigate the safety of intrathecal injection of Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis therapy, 43 patients(16 females and 27 males, mean age of 57.3 years) received an average dose of 0.42 × 106 cells/kg through intrathecal administration at the cervical, thoracic or lumbar region depending on the clinical symptoms. There was a 2 month interval between two injections. The adverse events occurring during a 6-month treatment period were evaluated. No adverse events occurred. Headache occurred in one case only after first injection of stem cells. This suggests that intrathecal injection of Wharton's Jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells is well tolerated in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This study was approved by the Bioethical Committee of School of Medicine, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Poland(approval No. 36/2014 and approval No. 8/2016). This study was registered with the ClinicalTrials.gov(identifier: NCT02881476)on August 29, 2016.展开更多

The properties of the quenched and tempered and the simulated post-weld heat treatment states are systematically studied herein through a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the composition,microstructure,and properties of the clad steel plate. The results show that the bonding interface has high shear strength and that the base metal has high strength and good toughness at low temperatures. Hence, the performance fully meets the technical requirements of the CAP1400 nuclear power plant' s safety injection tank in the country' s nuclear demonstration project. The roll-bonded clad steel plate can be used to manufacture the safety injection tank of the CAP1400 nuclear power plant.展开更多

A total of 24 healthy Springer Spaniels were randomly divided into four groups. Intramuscular injection of Flunixin meglumine was carried out to test group dogs with the doses of 2 rag/kg, 6 rag/kg, 10 mg/kg for 5 days, respectively. The injected doses were one times, three times and five times as the recommended clinical dose. Intramuscular injection of water was carried out to control group dogs for 5 days. Clinical symptom was observed after the injection, and the blood was collected at different times (before, during and after the injection) to conduct blood routine examination and blood biochemical indexes measurement. Post-mortem examination and histopathological examination were carried out after the test. The results indicated that test dogs showed normal spirit, with no death and no other adverse reactions. Part values of blood routine examination indexes and blood biochemical indexes in test groups showed significant differences between pre-administration and post-administration, but basically fluctuated within the reference range. Autopsy results showed no obvious pathological changes. Histological examination showed the viscera and tissues (liver, heart, spleen, lung, kidney) in high dose group and control group showed no abnormality and pathological changes. The results indicated that Flunixin meglumine injection with the dose of 2 - 10 rag/kg had a minimal effect on physiological and biochemical indexes of dog blood.展开更多

METHODS One hundred and twenty-seven patients clinically suspected of having pulmonary embolism underwent spiral CTPA, out of whom fifty-seven received 75 mL and the remaining seventy a lower dose of 60 mL of contrast agent. Both doses were administered in a multiphasic injection. A minimum opacification threshold of 250 Hounsfield units(HU) in the main pulmonary artery is used for assessing the technical adequacy of the scans. RESULTS Mean opacification was found to be positively correlated to patient age(Pearson's correlation 0.4255, P < 0.0001) and independent of gender(male:female, 425.6 vs 450.4,P = 0.34). When age is accounted for, the study and control groups did not differ significantly in their mean opacification in the main(436.8 vs 437.9, P = 0.48),left(416.6 vs 419.8, P = 0.45) or the right pulmonary arteries(417.3 vs 423.5, P = 0.40). The number of sub-optimally opacified scans(the mean opacification in the main pulmonary artery < 250 HU) did not differ significantly between the study and control groups(7 vs 10).CONCLUSION A lower dose of iodine contrast at 60 mL can be feasibly used in CTPA without resulting in a higher number of sub-optimally opacified scans.展开更多

In the past, the permanent injectable silicone had been used but had been so problematic that the Justice Department filed injunctions against certain physicians on behalf of the FDA. After 2000 a dangerous pattern grew in the corridors of Washington DC, where politics and money changed the face of America and the field of aesthetics to the detriment of the faces of the consumers. Industry has accomplished the approval of synthetic agents that should have never reached the market. Once injected under skin, the body cannot digest these agents and the immune system walls them off with resultant formation of nodules, which at times require surgical removal.展开更多

The safety analysis indicated that there were no statistic differences in the incidence rates of adverse reactions when the Hib conjugate vaccines were inoculated at different sites. So we concluded that the safety of inoculation injection of Hib conjugate vaccines in vastus lateralis muscle was the same as that inoculated in the upper arm deltoid.展开更多

In total, 378 eligible subjects were enrolled who were initiated either on risperidone long-acting injectable (RLAI) (290) or on an oral antipsychotic (OA) (88) at baseline as required by the local Summary of the Product Characteristics. Data were collected from per patient both retrospectively and prospectively over a 24-month period at 3-month intervals after starting treatment. The results indicated that subjects suffering from schizophrenia or schizo-affective disorder initiated on RLAI were less likely to be hospitalized within the first 24 months after the initiation of treatment. Moreover, subjects treated with RLAI experienced significant improvements in their illness severity and functioning. Discontinuation rates for RLAI were low and doses were stable throughout the 24 months following the initiation of treatment. In addition, the necessity for supplementary concomitant medication was reduced. Adverse events were reported in 20.3% (RLAI) and 11.4% (OA) of the subjects. In general, patients initiated on RLAI and OA at baseline both clinically improved on all assessed parameters but a larger improvement was observed for patients on RLAI. Incidences of reported AEs during the use of RLAI in a naturalistic setting are comparable with those described in clinical studies;however, the incidence of extrapyramidal signs and weight gain was lower than expected.展开更多
文摘The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and safety of ultrasound-guided thrombin injection on femoral pseudoaneurysm (FPA) as compared to ultrasound-guided local oppression. Eleven cases of FPA were enrolled and 7 cases received ultrasound-guide thrombin injection (injection group), and the remaining 4 cases were treated with local oppression (oppression group). Efficiency and safety were analyzed by ultrasound and subsequent follow-up. The results showed that 1 case relapsed in oppression group while no relapse occurred in thrombin injection group. Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection is better for treatment of FPA in terms of effectiveness and safety.
