Objective To discuss the efficacy of the flexible ureteroscopy combined with Holmium laser lithotripsy for kidney calculi with HIV positive patients.Methods From May 2015 to May 2016,47 cases of patients with renal calculi were treated by the flexible ureteroscopy combined with Holmium laser lithotripsy in our hospital.There were 29 cases male,18 cases female,aged from 22 to 56 years old,average 39 years.There were 38 cases with single stone,9 cases with multiple stones.There were 9 cases with stones on both sides.Flexible ureteroscopy channel sheath was used in surgery.Stones were fragmented by Holmium laser.During one-month follow-up after surgery,stone removal and stone free rate were recorded.Residual stones were re-treated with a secondary lithotripsy or ESWL.Results The flexible ureteroscopy channel sheath was indwelled successfully in all the cases.All stones were detected.The average operation time was 63min (range,42-141min) and the median postoperative stay was 4.5days (range,2-16 d).Among the 47 patients,41 patients underwent first-stage lithotripsy,6 patients underwent second-stage ESWL after lithotripsy,and 1 patient underwent third-stage lithotripsy.The one-month stone free rate was 87.2％ (41/47).The total stone free rate was 97.9％ (46/47) after second-stage lithotripsy.Postoperative fever occurred in 4 cases after lithotripsy.No blood transfusion,systemic infection,ureteral perforation,or ureteral avulsion occurred.The total complication rate was 8.5％ (4/47).The mean number of CD4 +T lymphocytes before lithotripsy was 402/μl,and was 410/μl 3 days after lithotripsy.There was no Statistical differences between them.Conclusions Flexible ureteroscopy combined Holmium laserlithotripsy could be a safe and effective treatment for kidney calculi patients with HIV/AIDS positive.

In China , some ophthalmic new drug clinical trials used placebo as control .Two principles should be con-sidered in ethical review when placebo was used in these ophthalmic new drug clinical trials .Firstly, using placebo couldn't lead to irreversible or permanent vision loss .Secondly , there should be proper risk management in protocol and risk dis-closure in consent process .There are several important factors , including effects of standard treatment , risks of using pla-cebo, risk management in protocol and risk information in informed consent form , which should be used to assess the ra-tionality of placebo in ethical review .

Objective:In order to investigate the genetic diversity of mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cytb) gene of Taenia asiatica ( T. asiatica) in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture (Dali Prefecture), Yunnan Province. Methods:From May 2019 to August 2021, a total of 131 samples of Taenia were collected from patients admitted to the Dali Prefecture Institute of Schistosomiasis Control, involving five locations (i.e., five groups), including Dali City (58 samples), Weishan Yi and Hui Autonomous County (Weishan County, 14 samples), Midu County (18 samples), Yangbi Yi Autonomous County (Yangbi County, 24 samples) and Eryuan County (17 samples). Primers were designed based on mitochondrial Cytb gene sequence, and part of the Cytb gene sequence was amplified by PCR, then sequenced and homology comparisons were performed. MEGA 7.0 and DNASP 5.10.01 were used to analyze the measured sequence, and data such as base composition, genetic distance, genetic diversity parameters, genetic differentiation index and gene flow were obtained. Results:The amplified fragments of Cytb gene in 131 samples of Taenia were 235 bp. After homology comparisons, they were all T. asiatica. The average contents of A, T, G and C bases were 23.8%, 42.3%, 24.0% and 9.9%, respectively. Of the 131 samples of T. asiatica, 12 haplotypes were defined. The haplotype diversity and nucleic acid diversity were 0.295 9 and 0.006 0, respectively. The ranges of genetic differentiation index and gene flow among the five groups were-0.053 00 to 0.050 40 and 4.710 31 to 162.087 66, respectively. The genetic distance between the five groups ranged from 0.003 5 to 0.009 0, of which the genetic distance between Midu County and Weishan County was the largest, and the genetic distance between Dali City and Yangbi County was the smallest. Conclusions:The mitochondrial Cytb gene of T. asiatica in Dali Prefecture has rich genetic diversity. There is frequent gene exchange among the five groups, and no significant genetic differentiation has been formed.
