Objective To investigate the curative effect of Quadrant channel transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(TLIF) in the treatment of recurrent lumbar disc herniation(RLDH).Methods Seventy-six cases patients with RLDH were divided into traditional TLIF group(36 cases) and Quadrant group(40 cases) by the different operation modes.The operation,VAS scores and ODI scores were compared between the two groups.Results Operation time((98.2±18.1) min vs.(118.5±27.2) min,t=3.79,P<0.05),incision length((2.7±0.6) cm vs.(5.5±1.0) cm,t=14.97,P<0.05),intraoperative blood loss((90.7±20.1) ml vs.(170.3±33.5) ml,t=12.71,P<0.05) and intraoperative drainage((43.8±12.4) ml vs.(117.1±28.9) ml,t=14.62,P<0.05) in Quadrant group were less than that in traditional TLIF group.The ambulation time((2.8±0.6) d vs.(6.8±1.1) d,t=19.95.P<0.05) and hospitalization time((7.1±2.0) d vs.(14.2±2.7) d,t=13.11,P<0.05) of Quadrant group were shorter than those of TLIF group.VAS scores in both groups were significantly decreased.VAS in Quadrant group was significantly lower than that in traditional TLIF group from 3 d to 6 months after operation((4.4±1.0,3.9±1.2,3.4±0.8,1.9±0.6,1.3±0.4) points vs.(5.0±1.4,4.5±1.1,4.1±0.9,3.6±0.7,2.5±0.6) points,P<0.05).ODI scores in both groups were significantly decreased.ODI in Quadrant group was significantly lower than that in traditional TLIF group from 1 d to 6 months after operation((36.7±7.1,33.4±6.2,30.7±4.1,27.8±5.3,24.5±5.4,18.4±4.7) points vs.(39.8±6.0,36.8±5.8,33.5±6.6,31.3±5.1,28.9±6.6,22.3±5.2) points,P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of RLDH by Quadrant channel TLIF has obvious curative effect,short operation time,less trauma,faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.

Objective To observe the effect of drug combinations on the blood flow after reduction of the testicular torsion in rabbits.Methods From October 2014 to June 2015,36 male rabbits (weighing 1.8-2.4 kg,10-14 months of age) were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,18 in each group.Produced by surgical testicular torsion model (720° counterclockwise rotation of the left side testicle),every rabbit was accepted surgery reset after 9 hours and found all twisted testicles were dark.After fomentation with warm salt water,all the testicles were observed no significant improvement in colors,and no fresh blood flow after opening tunica albuginea,then all the testicles were retained and fixed.Low molecular dextran(5 ml/kg,ear marginal vein injection,1/d),papaverine(1.5 mg/kg,intramuscular,3/d) and low molecular weight heparin sodium (200 IU/kg,subcutaneous,l/d) were applied to promote testicular revascularization for 5 days in experimental group,and penicillin (40 000 U/kg,intramuscular,1/d) for 7 days.Control group was only given penicillin (40 000 U/kg,intramuscular,1/d) to prevent wound infection.Then Color Doppler ultrasound was used to observe the testicular blood flow siganals that were divided into 0,1,2,3 classes.Class 2 and class 3 could be considered as testicular survival.After each scrotum was opened,according to color,texture of testicle and whether the fresh blood flowing out when tunica albuginea was opened,to determine whether the testicle was alive.The testicle was ruddy,flexible,and fresh blood was observed,which could prove testicular survival.Results In experimental group,the testicular blood flow siganals:0 class 4 cases,1 class 3 cases,2 class 4 cases,3 class 7 cases.In control group,the testicular blood flow siganals:0 class 9 cases,1 class 2 cases,2 class 4 cases,3 class 3 cases.Surgical exploration found 11 cases of testicular survival in experimental group and 7 cases in control group,which was significantly difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The combined application of low molecular dextran,papaverine,low molecular weight heparin sodium can promote the recovery of testicular blood after reduction of testicular torsion,and improve testicular survival rate.

To explore the causes and mechanisms of ureteric stones complicated by ureteric polyps and to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic effects. Methods:Clinical data of 58 cases of patients with ureteric stones complicated by ureteric polyps admitted from 1983 to 1999 were analyzed retrospectively. Results :41 cases underwent ureterolithotomy, as well as resection of stricture ureter and ureterourteroanastomosis. 17 cases re ceived ureterolithotomy and electronic resection or electronic ablation of polyps. 48 cases had indwelling ureteral stents. Symptoms of 58 cases disappeared completely after surgical operations. Conclusions:In cases that the stone has remained in the ureter for a long time, or in cases that the degree of hydronephrosis did not meeting the size of the stones, the possibility of ureteric polyps should be taken into account

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and therapeutic efficacy of patients with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma(RCC) syndrome-associated RCC (HLRCC-RCC) in China.Methods:The clinical data of 119 HLRCC-RCC patients with fumarate hydratase (FH) germline mutation confirmed by genetic diagnosis from 15 medical centers nationwide from January 2008 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 73 were male and 46 were female. The median age was 38(13, 74) years. The median tumor diameter was 6.5 (1.0, 20.5) cm. There were 38 cases (31.9%) in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱand 81 cases (68.1%) in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ. In this group, only 11 of 119 HLRCC-RCC patients presented with skin smooth muscle tumors, and 44 of 46 female HLRCC-RCC patients had a history of uterine fibroids. The pathological characteristics, treatment methods, prognosis and survival of the patients were summarized.Results:A total of 86 patients underwent surgical treatment, including 70 cases of radical nephrectomy, 5 cases of partial nephrectomy, and 11 cases of reductive nephrectomy. The other 33 patients with newly diagnosed metastasis underwent renal puncture biopsy. The results of genetic testing showed that 94 patients had FH gene point mutation, 18 had FH gene insertion/deletion mutation, 4 had FH gene splicing mutation, 2 had FH gene large fragment deletion and 1 had FH gene copy number mutation. Immunohistochemical staining showed strong 2-succinocysteine (2-SC) positive and FH negative in 113 patients. A total of 102 patients received systematic treatment, including 44 newly diagnosed patients with metastasis and 58 patients with postoperative metastasis. Among them, 33 patients were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), 8 patients were treated with bevacizumab combined with erlotinib, and 61 patients were treated with TKI monotherapy. Survival analysis showed that the median progression-free survival (PFS) of TKI combined with ICI was 18 (5, 38) months, and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The median PFS and OS were 12 (5, 14) months and 30 (10, 32) months in the bevacizumab combined with erlotinib treatment group, respectively. The median PFS and OS were 10 (3, 64) months and 44 (10, 74) months in the TKI monotherapy group, respectively. PFS ( P=0.009) and OS ( P=0.006) in TKI combined with ICI group were better than those in bevacizumab combined with erlotinib group. The median PFS ( P=0.003) and median OS ( P=0.028) in TKI combined with ICI group were better than those in TKI monotherapy group. Conclusions:HLRCC-RCC is rare but has a high degree of malignancy, poor prognosis and familial genetic characteristics. Immunohistochemical staining with strong positive 2-SC and negative FH can provide an important basis for clinical diagnosis. Genetic detection of FH gene germ line mutation can confirm the diagnosis. The preliminary study results confirmed that TKI combined with ICI had a good clinical effect, but it needs to be confirmed by the results of a large sample multi-center randomized controlled clinical study.
