We evaluated the feasibility of stenting in four patients. Two cases were vertebral osteal stenosis and the others were carotid stenosis at high position with ulcers. We placed balloon expandable coronary stents by a bared stent technique. The mean preprocedural stenosis (86.58%) was reduced to 13.05%. Patients were examined clinically and angiographically at 1, 3 and 6 months after stenting. There was no minor nor major stroke during and after the procedures. Asymptomatic restenosis occurred in the cases of proximal vertebral arteries. One of these patients needed to repeat balloon dilatation. There were no angiographic restenoses in the location of stenting in the carotid artery. In the treatment for atherosclerotic stenoses, stent placement is a feasible and safe method. However restenosis in a vertebral osteal lesion should be carefully followed after stent placement.

Abstract BACKGROUND & AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of fluoroscopy guided stent placement for the treatment of malignant afferent loop obstruction (ALO). METHODS 12 patients with malignant ALO in whom fluoroscopy guided stent placement had been performed were analyzed retrospectively. The operation time, clinical efficacy, complications and postoperative hospitalization were observed. Follow-up was scheduled at 1 and 3 months after the operation, and every 3 months thereafter, or when the patients developed clinical symptoms related to ALO. RESULTS Stent placement was performed successfully in 11 patients with an average time of 37.9 ± 12.2 min. For the other one patient, we adopted transnasal drainage tube implantation in afferent loop instead of stent placement. All the patients had an obvious relief of clinical symptoms, and no serious complications occurred. During the follow-up, 1 patient had restenosis 12 months later as the tumor grew across the stent mesh. 7 patients died of tumor progression at 3, 4.5, 5, 7, 8, 11 and 15 months after the operation. CONCLUSION Fluoroscopy guided stent placement is an effective and safe method for the treatment of malignant ALO.

Abstract. Background: Little is known about presenting problems of primary posters (i.e., posters opening the thread) and their responders in nonprofessional against-suicide and pro-suicide message boards. Aims: We aimed to compare problems described in suicide message boards between different types of users (primary posters and respondents) and between against-suicide, neutral, and pro-suicide message boards. Method: In all, 1,182 archival threads with 20,499 individual postings from seven nonprofessional suicide message boards supporting an against-suicide, neutral, or pro-suicide attitude were randomly selected. Problems mentioned by primary posters and their respondents were coded with content analysis. Differences between pro-suicide, neutral, and against suicide boards, as well as correlations between primary posters and respondents, were calculated. Results: Interpersonal problems were most frequently mentioned by primary posters in against-suicide threads (40.9%) and less frequently in pro-suicide threads (11.8%; p < .001). In pro-suicide boards, the most frequent stressors were suicide method-related (e.g., how to identify a safe method: 26.2% vs. 2.5% in against-suicide boards, p < .001). Primary posters resembled respondents in terms of presenting problems in pro-suicide boards, but not in against-suicide boards. Limitations: Only self-reported problems were assessed. Conclusion: The results confirm a stronger focus on death than on life among users in pro-suicide message boards, and posters with similar problems meet in pro-suicide boards. The posters appear to clearly emphasize social strains over psychiatric problems compared with some professional settings.
