Objective To investigate the expression and significance of super oxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde concentration in the serum and adrenal grands of patients with adrenocortica diseases. Methods 12 patients with adrenal hyperplasia and 10 patients with adrenal adenoma which were carried out hospital surgery and confirmed by pathology, and 11 cases of normal as controls were selected.The serum level of Cu/Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD and MDA before operation, and Cu/Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD positive cells percentage of adrenal tissue were compared between three groups. Results Before adrenalectomy SOD activity was lower(P <0.05)and MDA concentration was higher in serum(P<0.05)than the control group.Cu/Zn-SOD positive cell was lower in adrenocortical adenoma tissue than that of adrenocorticohyperplasia and normal cortex(P <0.05).Mn-SOD positive cell had a significant difference among adrenocortical hyperplasia, adrenocortical adenoma and normal adrenal cortex tissue(P <0.05).Both SOD positive cell in adrenocortical adenoma tissue were the lowest of all.In addition,the expression of SOD in tissue had a significant positive correlation with serological expression in study group. Conclusion The superoxide dismutase activities and malondialdehyde concentration seemed to change with adrenocortica diseases.The detection of superoxide dismutase activities and malondialdehyde concentration in the serum and adrenal grands could be the potential methods for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of adrenocortica diseases.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral thulium-Yag laser(Tm-Yag Laser) resection of bladder tumor in the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC).Methods The clinical data of 186 patients who underwent transurethral resection with pathologically identified of NMIBC were retrospectively analyzed.76 cases and 110 cases were in the transurethral resection of bladder cancer Tm-Yag Laser group and TURBT group,respectively.The operative time,intraoperative blood loss,incidence of obturator nerve reflex,days for urethral catheterization,duration of hospitalization after surgery,detection rate of muscle layer in postoperative pathologic examination and recurrence between the two groups were compared.All patients were followed up for 24 months.Regularly gemcitabine intravesical instillation chemotherapy and cystoscopy were performed postoperation.Results The operative time [(27.08±5.56) min vs.(25.55±5.37) min,P>0.05]and intraoperative blood loss [(14.23±4.05) mL vs.(15.10±3.24) mL,P>0.05]showed no differences between the two groups.The incidence of obturator nerve reflex in Tm-Yag laser group was lower than that in TURBT group (0.0% vs.5.5 %,x2=4.28,P=0.038).The days for urethral catheterization [(3.48±1.05) d vs.(4.02±1.14) d,t=3.328,P=0.001]and the duration of hospitalization after surgery [(4.47±1.08) d vs.(5.02±1.13) d,t=3.350,P=0.001]in Tm-Yag laser group were significantly shorter than those in TURBT group.In Tm-Yag laser group,the detection rate of muscle layer in postoperative pathologic examination was higher than that in TURBT group(x2=14.96,P=0.001).The total rate of tumor recurrence in Tm-Yag laser group was significantly lower than that in TURBT group(13.2 % vs.25.5%,x2=4.18,P=0.041).Conclusion Transurethral Tm-Yag laser is safe and effective in the treatment of NMIBC.It can avoid the incidence of complications and reduce tumor recurrence rate,which is worthy of promotion.

Objective To assess the effect of alprostadil on accelerating early recovery of renal transplant patients with delayed graft function.Methods A randomized control clinical trial was designed in renal recipients with delayed graft function(DGF)who were administered with 50μg alprostadil each day after the operation.The effects of alprostadil were compared with the control group which included 14 recipients with DGF to determine the influences of alprostadil on urine,serum creatinine(SCr).Under Doppler ultrasound,the renal blood flow resistance-indexes(RI)were measured.The rates of acute renal graft rejection(AR)were also calculated in both groups,and the 1year patient/graft survival rates were compared between the two groups.Results Urine was significantly higher in alprostadil-treated group than in control group(P ＜ 0.05).On the contrary,SCr and RI were significantly lower in alprostadil-treated group than in control group(P ＜ 0.05).No significant differences were found between the two groups in AR rate(6.25％ vs 7.14％)and the 1-year patient/graft survival rates(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The application of alprostadil in renal recipients with DGF had beneficial effects on accelerating recovery of renal graft function.

Objective: To investigate the effects of modified three-step procedure for anatrophic nephrolithotomy in the treatment of complex staghorn renal calculi. Methods: A total of 22 patients with complex staghorn renal calculi between June 2013 and June 2016 at Department of Urology in Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command were retrospective analyzed. There were 13 males and 9 females, ranging from 35 to 62 years old with mean age of 47 years. There were 17 patients with dull pain, and 5 patients who were found through physical examinations. Kidney calculi located in left kidney in 15 patients, right kidney in 7 patients. All patients were treated with modified three-step procedure for anatrophic nephrolithotomy. The operation time, blood loss, time of intraoperative renal ischemia, and postoperative complications were recorded. Serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), β₂-microglobulin(β₂-MG), diseased side glomerular filtration rate(GFR) , and renal cortical thickness of the diseased kidney in preoperative and postoperative were compared. The clinical data were compared by paired sample t test between pre-operation and post-operation. Results: The calculi were completely removed in 22 patients, the mean operation time was 84 minutes (50 to 126 minutes), the mean time of intraoperative renal ischemia was 31 minutes (20 to 56 minutes), the mean blood loss was 246 ml (150 to 360 ml). There were no secondary bleeding or urinary fistula happened, the perinephric drainage tub was removed in 3 to 7 days postoperative, the mean hospitalization time was 7 days.Compared with the preoperative, the Scr ((172.7±21.3)μmol/L vs. (146.4±22.8)μmol/L, t=7.197, P=0.000), BUN ((9.2±1.8)mmol/L vs. (8.0±0.5)mmol/L, t=3.798, P=0.001) and β₂-MG ((203.0±32.0)μg/L vs. (175.6±23.8)μg/L, t=5.009, P=0.000) in postoperative decreased, the diseased side GFR increased ((28.6±4.0) ml/min比(31.8±3.3) ml/min, t=-3.521, P=0.002). There were no significant difference of diseased renal cortical thickness between preoperative and postoperative(t=-1.323, P=0.200). There were 12 patients with postoperative pain, 2 patients with vomiting, 3 patients with fever, and 2 patients with wound infection. The follow-up time was 6 months, no residual stones in 22 patients. Conclusion The modified three-step procedure for anatrophic nephrolithotomy has high stone free rates with less effects on renal function and fewer complications, the method could be widely applied.

Objective:To explore the application value of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in laparoscopic radical resection of bladder cancer and ileal bladder surgery under modular operation procedures.Methods:A retrospective selection of 42 cases of laparoscopic radical radical resection of bladder cancer and ileal bladder surgery performed by the Department of Urology, General Hospital of Southern Theater Command from January 2017 to December 2019 were divided into two groups according to the different management methods adopted during the perioperative period: ERAS management group and conventional management group, each with 21 cases. Among them, patients in the ERAS management group were managed by ERAS during the perioperative period, and patients in the conventional management group were managed by conventional management during the perioperative period. The postoperative hospital stay, first exhaust time, first defecation time, first time to get out of bed, first liquid food time, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, as well as transferrin, upper arm circumference, body mass index, plasma albumin, total protein, and total protein were compared between the two groups of patients after surgery. The measurement data conforming to the normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), and the in dependent t-test was used for comparison between groups; the measurement data of non-normal distribution were expressed as the median (interquartile range) [ M( P25, P75)], the independent sample Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups; the Chi-square test was used for comparison of enumeration data between groups. Results:The postoperative hospital stay in the ERAS group was (8.9±1.8) d, the first exhaust time was (33.4±3.2) h, the first defecation time was (60.3±7.8) h, the first time to get out of bed was (23.1±6.7) h, the first liquid food time was (82.7±18.5) h and postoperative VAS was (1.3±0.6), that were significantly reduced compared with the conventional treatment group [(12.3±2.3) d, (51.4±5.2) h, (73.0±8.1) h, (34.7±8.2) h, (109.7±21.6) h, (3.6±0.8)], the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the ERAS group, the decreased value of transferrin was [0.8 (-0.4, 2.2) g/L], the decreased value of body mass index was[1.61±0.73], the decreased value of plasma albumin was [3.5±1.5 g/L], the decrease value of total protein was[10.1±5.6 g/L] and the decrease value of prealbumin was [90.5±11.3 mg/L] were significantly lower than those of the conventional management group[(1.9(0.9, 3.6) g/L, (2.32±1.05) kg/m 2, (9.6±2.0) g/L, (16.3±4.9) g/L, (131.3±7.4) g/L], and the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Modular laparoscopic precision resection of bladder cancer and ERAS concept after ileal bladder surgery is beneficial to shorten the hospital stay, reduce postoperative pain, have less impact on the patient′s body loss and immune function, and can speed up the patient′s postoperative recovery.

Objective To analyze the effect of antibiotic treatment on prostate specific antigen (PSA) derivations in patients with and without prostate cancer and to further determine if the changes of PSA values after antibiotic treatment could help to exclude inflammation in the differential diagnosis of an abnormal PSA.MethodsA total of 100 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms,a PSA level of 4 to 10 μg/L,free PSA/total PSA (fPSA/tPSA) ratio ＜ 0.25,and a negative digital rectal examination and transrectal ultrasonography were enrolled in this study.All patients received 500 mg of ciprofloxacin twice a day for 3 weeks.Free and total PSA values were measured before and after antibiotic treatment.All the patients were then scheduled for 12-core prostate biopsy.Results The mean tPSA value was (6.5 ± 1.2) and (5.1 ± 1.2) μg/L respectively before and after antibiotic treatment ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Ninety-one patients (91.0％) showed tPSA reduction after antibiotic therapy,of which 13 ( 14.3％ ) had prostate cancer on biopsy.In 17 cases (18.7％) post-treatment tPSA was less than 4 μg/L.Three of the 17 cases (17.6％)had prostate cancer on biopsy.In 6 of the 100 men post-treatment tPSA was between 4 and 10 μg/L and the fPSA/tPSA ratio was above 0.25.One of these cases had prostate cancer on biopsy.Seven cases had a ＞50％ reduction in PSA levels with no positive biopsy results.Although mean total PSA and PSAD decreased after treatment in both groups,the reductions within these parameters were not significantly different between patients with and without prostate cancer (P ＞ 0.05).Furthermore,no differences emerged in terms of the changes of other PSA derivations including fPSA and fPSA/tPSA ( P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionsThe PSA levels may change with long-term antibiotic treatment in patients with elevated PSA values.A decrease in PSA after antibiotic treatment does not rule out the presence of prostate cancer even if PSA decreases to a normal level.But a ＞ 50％ reduction in PSA levels may be associated with a decreasing risk of prostate cancer,which may allow a postponement of prostate biopsy in selected patients.
