Methods Infantile patients who were clinical diagnosed as hemangiomas were randomly divided into group A, who had color Doppler ultrasound examinations before the treatment, and group B who had the treatment without ultrasound evaluation. Patients in the group A were assigned into subgroups according to the depth of lesion by sonography： group A-1 for those who had a lesion depth 〈1.2 mm, and took intense pulsed light therapy; group A-2 for those who had a lesion depth ≥1.2mm and 〈 3 mm, and took long pulse 1064 nm Nd：YAG laser therapy; group A-3 for those who had a lesion depth ≥3mm and 〈5 mm, and were treated by IPL combined with long pulse 1064 nm Nd：YAG laser treatment; Group A-4 for those who had a lesion depth ≥5 mm, and took lauromacrogol injection therapy. Patients in the group B took long pulse 1064 nm Nd：YAG laser treatment without preoperative ultrasound evaluation. The efficacy and adverse reactions of the treatments between the groups were evaluated and compared statistically. Results Totally 113 patients with 128 skin lesions were enrolled in this study, 85 in the group A （mean age 6.8±7.9 months） and 28 in the group B （mean age 6.9±9.9 months）. The mean depth of hemangioma was 3.3±1.1 mm in the group A, ranging from 0.5-7.8 mm, with 0.8±0.4 mm, 2.2±0.4 mm, 4.2±0.6 mm and 6.2±0.7 mm in group A1, A2, A3 and A4, respectively. The cure rates and effective rates in the group A were significantly higher than those in the group B （cure rates： 64.5% vs 56.3%, U=3.378, P=0.045; effective rates： 89.5% vs 78.1%, U=4.163, P=0.041）. The adverse effect rates of the group A （vesicle 20.0%, pigmentation 46.9%, scarring 17.7%） were lower than those of the group B （vesicle 21.9%, pigmentation 60.4%, scarring 25.0%）. Incidences of pigmentation and scarring were statistically significantly different （U=3.884, P=0.034, and U=4.016, P=0.032 respectively） between the two groups. Conclusion With the guidance of color Doppler ultrasound, the efficacy and safety of long pulse 1064 nmNd：YAG laser, intense pulsed light, and lauromacrogol injection in the treatment of infantile hemangioma have better outcomes compared to laser treatment alone without preoperative ultrasound examination.展开更多

Methods:Total 52 samples of infantile hemangioma (including 8 fresh samples) were included in this study. Agarose gel electrophoresis, transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and in situ TdT mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling(TUNEL) staining were used to observe the apoptosis. H-E staining was used to analyze the number of cells,the number and area of microvessels in hemangiomas. Results: The typical “ladder” occurred in the DNA electrophoresis of the hemangioma tissue in the late proferating stage. Many apoptotic cells were found in infantile hemangiomas with TEM. TUNEL staining identified that there were apoptotic cells througout the pathologic evolution of infantile hemangioma and the AI(%) was the highest in the late proferating stage. There existed close relationship between the AI(%) and the total number of cells in hemangioma. Conclusion: The decrease of cells resulted from the apoptosis may be the major cause of the spontaneous involution of infantile hemangioma.展开更多

Methods: Both CO2-DSA and iodinated contrast DSA (IC-DSA) were performed in all 16 patients with CHL, and the angiographic manifestations in the same patients were compared. The image quality was rated by three experienced angiographers, and the complications were also assessed. Results: There was good correlation between angiographers on image quality (R = 0. 73). Diagnostic images were obtained with both CO2-DSA and IC-DSA in all CHL patients. No difference was noted between IC-DSA and CO2-DSA in visualizing the proper hepatic arteries and its branches (P>0. 05). CO2-DSA produced better images that clearly described the tumor size, shape and margination than those by IC-DSA (P< 0. 05), but both demonstrated characteristic appearances of early opacification and persistent contrast enhancement of the tumors. The portal vein branches near the tumors were constantly demonstrated by CO2-DSA in 15 cases (15/16) but only in 2 cases (2/16) by IC-DSA. Conclusion: CO2-DSA is sensitive in CHL diagnosis, and in patients with contraindications to IC or with unsatisfactory imaging results by IC-DSA, CO2-DSA is a good alternative. As show in most cases by CO2-DSA, the portal veins might act as the main drainage vein of CHLs.展开更多
