Objective To investigate the clinical value and adverse reactions of indwelling ureteral stentsinthepreventionofureteralinjurybeforecomplexpelvictumorsurgery.Methods 145casesofpatients with rectal cancer ,cervical cancer ,ovarian cancer and pelvic sarcomas were retrospectively analyzed ,and 53 pa-tients with complex pelvic tumor surgery ,preoperative were under cystoscope unilateral or bilateral ureteral stent tube,pulled out according to the intraoperative situation after surgery or lien ,92 patients as control group .Results Ureteral injury was found in 10 of the 145 patients,2 cases in ureteral catheter group and 8 cases in control group .3 cases of postoperative ureteral fistula occurred in the control group .Indwelling ureteral stents could cause adverse reactions such as hematuria ,osphyalgia and urinary irritation ,and the adverse reactions of catheter group was obviously higher than that of control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Cystoscopic ureteral stent placement has important clinical significance for prevention of ureteral injury despite certain adverse reactions ,which can be used in operation of complex pelvic tumor .

Objective To investigate the effects of PTD4-GFP-Apoptin protein on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis-inducing of different types of leukemia cells. Methods Genetic engineering was used to restructure a carrier containing PTD4-GFP-Apoptin gene, and MTT was applied to detect the expressed PTD4-GFP-Apoptin fusion protein and its effect on the leukemia cell proliferation. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the effects on cell apoptosis. Results MTT cell proliferation inhibitory experiment showed that PTD4-GFP-Apoptin had different degree of proliferation inhibition on different types of leukemia cells;furthermore, the inhibitory effect presented positive correlation with time and concentration. FCM showed that PTD4-GFP-Apoptin had apoptosis-inducing effect on HL-60 cells, and the apoptotic rate had significant difference compared with the control group (P <0.05). Conclusions PTD4 can carry large proteins to penetrate the cell membrane, and PTD4-GFP-Apoptin may produce the inhibiting proliferation in vitro for a variety of leukemia cells. Apoptin can induce tumor cell apoptosis without affecting normal cells, which might become a new agent for the clinical treatment of leukemia.
