Objective To investigate and compare the clinical effects of 2-micron laser vaporization resection of prostate (2-micron laser) and versus transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) in this prospective random control study.Methods Sixty patients of BPH were randomly divided into two groups including the 2-micron laser group (n =30) and the TURP group (n =30).The perioperative markers and therapeutic results including duration of surgery,blood lose during surgery,improvement of symptoms after treatment,postoperative bladder washing time,the mean bladder irrigating time,hospital stay time,and recent complications were recorded and analyzed.Results The international prostate symptom score((6.6 ± 1.8) vs.(33.2 ±2.2),(5.7 ± 1.3) vs.(33.4 ±2.3) respectively),maximal urinary flow((20.6 ± 1.5) ml/s vs.(7.8 ± 4.3) m/s,(19.5 ± 1.7) ml/s vs.(8.3 ± 4.5) ml/s respectively),residual urine volume((22.3 ±4.7) ml vs.(57.2 ± 10.5) ml,(26.3 ±7.2) ml vs.(60.2 ± 14.5) ml respectively) were significantly improved in both groups after operation (P =0.005,0.008,0.036,0.001,0.005,0.013 respectively),but the differences between these two groups were not significant (P =0.16,0.49,0.97 respectively).The volume of hemorrhage ((20.9 ± 12.1) ml vs.(55.3 ± 27.8) ml),the mean bladder irrigating time ((1.0 ±0.5) d vs.(3.5 ±0.7) d),cathererization time ((3.2 ± 1.3) d vs.(6.0 ± 1.5) d),hospital stay time ((6.8 ±0.7) d vs.(10.6 ±0.6) d) were significantly less or shorter in the 2-micron laser group than in the TURP group (P =0.009,0.005,0.035,0.03 respectively).There was no significant difference in rates of complications between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The therapy of 2-micron laser is safer and more efficacious than TURP for BPH patients,with advantages of short surgery duration,little blood loss,and quick recovery.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of somatostatin and ileus tube for adhesive bowel obstruction.Methods From January 2008 to February 2010,ninety-one patients diagnosed with adhesive bowel obstruction were enrolled in the study.Patients were randomly divided into four groups:somatostatin + ileus tube group ( group A,n =22 ),somatostatin + nasogastric tube group (group B,n=19),ileus tube group (group C,n=23),and nasogastric tube group (group D,n =27).All cases received conventional treatment,including fasting,maintaining electrolyte and acid-base balance,enteral and parenteral nutrition support and antibiotics; Groups A and B received somatostatin 0.6 mg/day,groups B and D received nasogastric tube decompression.ANOVA analysis and x2 test were used to compare the variables.Results Group A had a quick recovery of flatus and stool compared with group D,[ (4.5 ±1.9) vs.(7.8 ± 1.7) d] (F =28.715,P =0.000).Abdominal pain and abdominal distension recovered faster [ (3.6 ± 1.5) vs.(8.4 ± 2.2) day ] in group A compared with group D ( F =23.857,P =0.000).Less amount of gastric drainage were observed in somatostatin-treatment groups [ group A vs.C:(632 ±102) ml/d vs.(1020±148) ml/d; group B vs.D:(410±86) ml/d vs.(590±97) ml/d] (F=11.687,P =0.000;F=10.399,P =0.000).The rate of laparotomy in group A was O,which was significantly less than the 22％ in group D ( x2 =5.571,P =0.018 ).Conclusions The high improvement rate in abdominal symptoms suggested the efficacy of somatostatin and ileus tube in patients with small bowel obstruction.The application of somatostatin combined with ileus tube improves the symptoms of adhesive intestinal obstruction and decreases the rate of laparotomy.

Objective To investigate the myocardial protective effect of isehemic post-conditioning in total repair for tetralogy of fallot,in order to improve short-term prognosis of infant patients.Methods 64 cases of TOF infant patients were randomly divided into two groups,32 cases in the control group:conventional surgery without ischemic post-conditioning,and other 32 cases in the experimental group:given three cycles of ischemic post-conditioning.Then the clinical indieators:cardiopulmonary bypass time,aortic cross-clamping time,automatic re-jump rate,the latter parallel to the off-line time,the off-line blood pressure,the offline dopamine usage,extubation time,ICU stay time,postoperative complications,and the testing laboratory indicators:the cTnI and CK-MB levels in plasma after anesthesia induction,10min after aortic cross-clamping,10min after aortic opening,ICU1h,1d after surgery,and 2d after surgery were observed.Results Two patients were died and,mortality rate was 3.1%.The remaining patients were discharged from hospital.Laboratory indicators of the control group and the experimental group had significant differences (all P＜0.05),while the clinical indicators of the two groups had no significant differences(all P＞0.05).But for the sub-group which the aortic cross-clamping time were more than 60min,the clinical indicators were significantly different(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Ischemic post-conditioning could enhance myocardial protection in total repair for tetralogy,of fallot.for the cases aortic cross-clamping time was more than 60min,their clinical meanings were more obvious.

Objective To investigate the effects of caudal type homeobox 2 (Cdx2) silence on reservion of multi-drug resistance of gastric carcinoma cisplantin-resistant cell SGC7901/DDP.Methods Gastric carcinoma cisplantin-resistant cells SCG7901/DDP in the logarithmic phase were cultured in the plate,and were divided into the experimental group [gastric carcinoma cells of SGC7901/DDP were infected with a silent Cdx2-recombinanted lentiviral vector (pLL-Cdx2-shRNA)],the negative control group (gastric carcinoma cells of SGC7901/DDP were infected with empty lentiviral vector) and the blank control group (gastric carcinoma cells of SGC7901/DDP were not treated).The protein and mRNA expressions of Cdx2 and apoptosis related genes like c-myc,cyclin D1 and survivin were detected by the Western blot and reverse-transcription PCR,respectively.The sensitivity of the cells in the 3 groups to adriamycin,5-fluorouracil and cisplatium were assessed by MTT.The pump-out rate of adriamycin,cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of the 3 groups were analyzed using flow cytometry.All measurement data were expressed with mean ± standard deviation.Comparison among multi-groups was done by one-way analysis of variance,and comparison between 2 groups was done by SNK-q test.The enumeration data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results The relative protein expression levels of Cdx2,c-myc,cyclin D1 and survivin were 0.187 ± 0.060,0.086 ± 0.004,0.016 ± 0.005 and 0.276 ± 0.012 in the experimental group,0.535 ± 0.033,0.379 ± 0.006,0.141 ± 0.003 and 0.672 ± 0.009 in the negative control group,and 0.567 ± 0.014,0.354 ± 0.004,0.162 ± 0.008 and 0.517 ± 0.313 in the blank control group,respectively.The relative protein expression levels of Cdx2,c-myc,cyclin D1 and survivin in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the negative control group and the blank control group (F =247.385,3.353,597.882,98.628,P ＜0.05).The relative mRNA expression levels of Cdx2,c-myc,cyclin D1 and survivin were 0.184 ± 0.010,0.212 ± 0.022,0.045 ± 0.009 and 0.401 ± 0.027 in the experimental group,0.894 ± 0.056,0.538 ± 0.021,0.163 ±0.009 and 0.824 ± 0.016 in the negative control group,and 0.837 ±0.049,0.545 ±0.032,0.157 ±0.010 and 0.782 ±0.056 in the blank control group,respectively.The relative mRNA expression levels of Cdx2,c-myc,cyclin D1 and survivin in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the negative control group and the blank control group (F =243.776,161.793,138.523,118.426,P ＜ 0.05).The IC50 values detected by MTT of adriamycin,5-flurouracile and cisplatin to gastroc carcinoma cisplantin-resistant cell SCG7901/DDP were (0.12 ± 0.05) mg/L,(0.52 ± 0.13) mg/L and (0.82 ± 0.13) mg/L in the experimental group,(0.33 ± 0.08) mg/L,(4.10.± 1.25) mg/L and (2.81 ± 0.50) mg/L in the negative control group,(0.39 ±0.15)mg/L,(4.05 ± 1.44) mg/L and (3.28 ± 1.03) rng/L in the blank control group,respectively.The pump-out rates of adriamycin of the experimental group,negative control group,and the blank control group were0.21％,0.37％ and 0.35％.Compared with the negative control group and the blank control group,the IC50values of adriamycin,5-fluorouracil and cisplatin in the experimental group were significantly increased,and thepump-out rate of adriamycin was significantly decreased (F =8.101,13.854,15.159,x2 =7.106,P ＜ 0.05).The ratios of cells in the G0/G1 phase were 17.87％,34.71％ and 37.20％ in the experimental group,negative control group and the blank control group,respectively.Compared with the negative control group and blank control group,the ratio of cells in the G0/Gt was significantly decreased (x2=1.055,P ＜ 0.05).The ratio of cells in the G2/M phase in the experimental group was 11.93％,and the apoptosis rate was 31.13％,which were significantly higher than the negative group (0.26％,16.58％) and the blank control group (0.35％,13.18％) (x2=2.249,11.030,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Silent Cdx2 can effectively enhance the sensitivity of the SGC7901/DDP cells and the intracellular accumulation concentration of the drugs.Silent Cdx2 can also reverse the multidrug resistance of the SGC7901/DDP cells.

Background Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) can effectively eliminate central vein occlusion macular edema and improve visual acuity, and photopic negative response (PhNR) can reflect the inner retinal function of RGCs and their axons. It is possible there is a correlation between these two observations.Objective This study was to evaluate the changes of PhNR of flash electroretinogram (F-ERG) after intravitreal injection of TA for macular edema in central retinal vein occlusion ( CRVO ). Methods Thirteen eyes of 12 patients with macular edema caused by CRVO received an injection of 0. 1 ml (4 rg) of TA. PhNR,visual acuity and retinal thickness of macular area were assessed with Roland RETI scan 3. 15 system,decimal visual chart and Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) before and 4 weeks after the administration of TA. Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medical procedure. Results Visual acuity was improved in 12 eyes and stable in 1 eye 4 weeks following the intravitreal injection of TA. OCT showed that the retinal thickness of the macular area was reduced ;meanwhile,elevation of the amplitude of PhNR also was seen in the F-ERG after the administration of TA in comparison with before the administration of TA. The calculated results determined that the visual acuities were 0. 32t0. 12 and 0. 48±0. 09 (t=6. 325 ,P=0. 000) ,and the retinal thickness values of the macular area were (459.46± 131.31 ) μm and ( 297.54 ±43.31 ) μm ( t = 5.961, P = 0. 000 ), and the average amplitude of PhNR were ( 80. 23±22.96 ) μV and (61.28 ±20. 16 ) μV ( t = 4. 438, P = 0. 001 ) before and after the intravitreal injection of TA, respectively,showing significant differences. No significant correlation was found between PhNR amplitude and retinal thickness of the macular area both before and after the administration of TA ( before: r = 0. 587, P = 0. 035; after:r=-0. 011 ,P = 0. 971 ). Conclusion PhNR can be used for evaluating the status of inner retina after intravitreal injection of TA for macular edema of CRVO.

Background Sweep pattern visual evoked potential (SVEP) is an objective method of visual test.There is a clear correlation between SVEP acuity and subjective vision,but they are not identical.Recent studies showed that new regression method can improve the accuracy of SVEP acuity. Objective This trial was to investigate and compare the outcome between amplitude-spatial frequency (A-SP) regression method and amplitudelogVA (A-logVA) regression method in extrapolating the SVEP acuity.Methods SVEP was recorded in 113 eyes of 64 subjects using GT-2000 ( Guo Te,China) with the gratings of 10 different spatial frequency from 0.99 to 12.89 cpd as stimulus.The 1 13 eyes included cataract,glaucoma,corneal disease,optical neuropathy,retinal disease,ocular trauma,refractive error and normal eyes.The correlation were analyzed of SVEP acuity,decimal visual acuity and LogMAR visual acuity.The response were averaged and DFT on the monitor display.SVEP acuity was calculated by extrapolating 0 response amplitude.Results The correlation indices of decimal visual acuity curves obtained by the A-logVA function was 0.663,and that obtained by the A-SP function was 0.705.The positive correlation was seen between subjective decimal visual acuity and A-logVA decimal visual acuity (r =0.540,P＜ 0.01 ) and between subjective decimal acuity and decimal acuity calculated by the A-SP regression method (r=0.620,P＜0.01 ).SVEP decimal acuity calculated by the A-SP function regression method was significantly different from the that calculated by the A-logVA function regression method (Z =-8.688,P＜0.01 ).And the correlation indices of LogMAR visual acuity curves obtained by the A-logVA function was 0.733 and that obtained by the A-SP function was 0.715.The positive correlation was found between the subjective LogMAR acuity and that calculated by the A-SP regression method (r=0.700,P＜ 0.01 ) and between the subjective LogMAR acuity and LogMAR acuity calculated by the A-logVA regression method (r=0.710,P＜0.01 ).SVEP LogMAR acuity from A-SP function regression method was significantly different from the LogMAR acuity from A-logVA function regression method (Z=-8.748,P＜0.01 ).No significant differences of VA LogMAR were found in gender,eyes,type of disease and age(x2 =2.171,P=0.338;x2 =0.976,P=0.614;x2 =6.032,P=0.420;x2 =14.720,P=0.257 ).Conclusions SVEP can obtain the visual outcome in human.The amplitude-logVA function regression method is more accurate in extrapolating SVEP acuity.
