Cu, Zn, Mn, Se were determined in erythrocytes in 43 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease(GTD), and T cell subsets were also monitored in peripheral blood in 37 cases.The results revealed that the contents of Cu and Se in erythrocytes in patients with GTD were significantly higher than those in normal females, the contents of Zn in patients with hydatidiform mole(HM) and Mn in patients with GTD were significantly lower than those in normal females, and so were the absolutes of lymphocytes, T cell and T subsets in peripheral blood in patients with GTD, the T4+/T8+ ratio in patients with HM and high risk gestational trophoblastic tumor(GTT) was obviously lower than that in normal controls. The above findings led us to hold thac the alteration of crace elements(TE) in patients with GTD affects their immunologic function and is closely related to the occurrence and development of GTD.
Transcatheter inferior phrenic arterial (IPA) and hepatic arteriography was performed on 38 patients with advanced primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) with blood supplied by IPA and hepatic artery. 18 patients received single treatment with hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) or embolization (HAE) 20 received double treatment with IPA and hepatic arterial infusion or embolization. The results show that the double treatment is superior to the single one. The angiographic features and mechanism of parasitization of inferior phrenic arterial supply to PHC were also discussed.
