Objective To explore the underlying clinical factors and precautionary measures of fluid extravasation in patients with calyceal calculi treated by ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy.Methods A retrospective review was made on clinical records of 138 patients with calyceal calculi receiving retrograde ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy from May 2005 to March 2009. The relevance was studied between the occurance of fluid extravasation complications and various clinical factors using x2 test and binary Logistic regression. The clinical factors included patients' sexes, age groups (<30 years, 30-50 years, >50 years), history of treatment (ESWL or open surgery) for upper urinary tract calculi, preoperative upper urinary tract infection, intraoperative placement of ureteral catheter and the length of procedure duration (< 50 min, 50-80 min, > 80 min). Results Fluid extravasation complications occurred in 24 patients. The sexes and age groups were irrelevant to the occurance of fluid extravasation complications; while history of ESWL or open surgery and preoperative infection in upper urinary tract, without intraoperative ureteral catheter placement and long duration of procedure were responsible for the higher rates of the fluid extravasation complications.Conclusion Reasonable selection of patients and timing of operation, regular intraoperative ureteral catheter placement and control the length of procedure duration help to reduce fluid extravasation during retrograde ureteroscopic lithotripsy.

Objective To study the effect of flee radical on kidney repedusion injury caused by infra-renal abdominal aorta occlusion in rat model and its possible mechanism. Methods Forty-two healthy Wis-ter rats were randondy divided into 6 groups as following ( n = 7) : the control group( sham group) ; simply isehemia 5 h without reperfusion( group I) ; 2 hours reperfusinn following ischemia 5 h ( I/R 2 h), 4 honrs reperfusion following isebemia 5 h ( I/R 4 h), 8 hours reperfusinn following ischemia 5 h( I/R 8 h) and 12 hours reperfusion following ischemia 5 h ( I/R 12 h). In each group the rats were killed to obtain samples of blood and kidney at the specified time points. The contents of BUN, Cr, MDA, SOD in blood and in renal homogenate were measured in each group. We observed the morphological changes of kidney and muscles of lower limb by light microscope. Results BUN level of serum in model group I, I/R 2 h, I/R 4 h, I/R 12 h were higher obvionsly than those of control group, which were maximal in I/R 4 h, then decreased. MDA level of plasma in model group I, I/R 2 h, I/R 4 h, I/R 8 h, I/R 12 h groups were higher obvionsly than those of control group, which were maximal in I/R4 h group, then decreased. SOD level of plasma in model I/R 4 h, I/R 8 h groups were lower obviously than those of control group; SOD level of renal homogenate in model group I, I/R 2 h, I/R 8 h, I/R 12 h groups were higher obviously than those of group I/R 4 h, which were minimal in I/R 4 h group, then increased. By light microscope: The injury degree of kidney and muscles of lower limb in ischemia group was slight, the injury degree of repedusion group was severer than ischemia group. Conclusion The kidney repedusion injury caused by infrarenal abdominal aorta occlusion in rat model might be concerned with the increase of lipid peroxidatian damage after ischemia-repedusion in-jury of lower limbs.
