December 2014

From the Division of Vascular Surgery, Changhai Hospital, Shanghai, China (YZ, QL, ZZ, JB, XF, RF); University Department of Radiology, University of Cambridge, UK (YZ, ZT, YH, JHG); Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, UK (ZT); School of Aerospace, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China (ZC); Cambridge Vascular Unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK (US); and Military Institute of Vascular Disease, the First Affiliated Hospital of Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China (ZJ).

This study sought to report the mid-term outcome of a modified flow-diverting strategy in the treatment of complicated aortic aneurysms of different morphology. Historical data suggested aortic aneurysm expansion and rupture after endovascular treatment with current commercial flow-diverters, indicating the essentiality of further investigation of this technique prior to its large-scale clinical application. An alternative flow-diverting strategy using layer-by-layer assembled multiple overlapping uncovered stents was employed in this study.

Background And Objective: The incidence rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) are increasing in a number of different regions, and recent studies have indicated that addition of bevacizumab to CRC therapy is beneficial. To better understand the relative risk (RR) of adverse events associated with use of bevacizumab, we systematically reviewed published clinical trials that studied use of bevacizumab in treatment of patients affected by metastatic CRC (mCRC).

Methods: The National Library of Medicine PubMed, MEDLINE, Ovid, Cochrane Library and Chinese Biomedicine databases were searched.

Objective: To investigate the expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) in normal laryngeal muscle and the difference between the adductor and abductor.

Method: Seven patients with total laryngectomy were enrolled in this study. The adductor muscles were acquired from the lateral cricoarytenoid (LCA) muscle and the abductor muscles were acquired from the posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscle.
