Objective To evaluate the value of photodynamic diagnosis for early detection of bladder cancer using narrow band imaging fluorescence cystoscopy. Methods A total of 28 cases of painless hematuria underwent narrow band imaging(NBI) endoscopy and biopsy. The procedure was as follows: biopsies were taken from lesions that were either fluorescing or nonfluorescing using endoscopy by NBI system) and then TUR was performed on them. Results Of the 28 cases, 79 biopsies were taken. Histopathologic examination showed that 32 of them were of urothelial cell carcinoma. Compared with white light cystoscopy, NBI had a sensitivity of 100% (32/32) ,flat small fluorescence positive lesions were found in peritumoral or other regions, which could not be detected by white light cystoscopy. Conclusion Photodynamic diagnosis using NBI fluorescence cystoscopy is useful for detection of early bladder cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effect of detailed disease management model in community management of hyperuricemic patients.Methods One hundred and fifty patients with primary hyperuricemia were randomly divided into detailed management group and conventional group from April to June 2012,patients in two groups were managed by different models for 1 year.The weight,height,biochemical indexes including blood uric acid and serum lipids were measured and a questionnaire survey was conducted with the items of disease awareness score,smoking,drinking,diet,standard treatment,satisfaction of treatment etc.before and after management.Results One hundred and thirty six patients completed the study including 68 in detailed management group and 68 in conventional group.After one year management,the blood uric acid,triglyceride,low density lipoprotein (all P ＜ 0.01) were statistically lower than baseline in detailed management group,while there were no statistical differences of these indexes in conventional group (P ＞ 0.05).The disease awareness score increased from (65.4 ±5.4) to (82.7±4.2) (Z=-10.2,P＜ 0.01),high purine diet rate fell from 47.1％ to 7.4％ (x2 =33.6,P ＜ 0.01),the standard treatment rates increased from 10.3％ to 85.3％ (x2 =76.6,P ＜0.01),treatment satisfaction rate increased from 51.5％ to 88.2％ (x2 =21.8,P ＜0.01) in detailed management group.In detailed management group,the blood uric acid (Z =-7.4,P ＜ 0.01),total cholesterol (Z =-0.01,P ＜ 0.01),triglyceride (Z =-2.4,P ＜ 0.01) and low density lipoprotein (Z =-3.2,P =0.03) and high purine diet rate were lower (x2 =27.1,P ＜ 0.01),the standard treatment rate (x2 =70.6,P ＜ 0.01) and treatment satisfaction rate were higher (x2 =5.6,P =0.02) than those in conventional group after 1 year management.Conclusion Detailed disease management is an applicable and effective model for community management of hyperuricemic patients.

Objective To investigate the correlation between cerebral artery stenosis (MCAS) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods Continuous selected 636 cases of 50-80 years old inpatients or outpatients who examined by transcranial color Doppler ultrasound (TCD) in April 2012 to April 2013 in our hospital.Keep the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical dementia rating (CDR) as the evaluation of cognitive function.Results Detected 124 cases of MCAS patients (MCAS group) and 512 cases of non-MCAS patients (non-MCAS group).Forty-four cases MCI were detected in MCAS group with the prevalence rate was 35.5％(44/124),and 114 cases of patients with MCI were detected in non-MCAS group with the prevalence rate was 22.3％ (114/512),the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Single factor analysis showed that there were no significant difference between two groups in waist circumference,hypertension,coronary heart disease,hyperlipidemia,smoking,diastolic blood pressure and total cholesterol,uric acid,fasting glucose,C-reactive protein (P ＞ 0.05); There were significantly different between two groups in age,gender,education level,MCAS,history of diabetes,systolic blood pressure and triglyceride,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(P ＜ 0.05).Multiple factors analysis showed that the MCAS (OR =1.899,95％ CI 1.224-2.946),history of diabetes (OR =1.764,95％ CI 1.191-2.612),systolic blood pressure(OR =1.012,95％ CI 1.003-1.022),gender (OR =0.558,95％ CI 0.380-0.821),and age (OR =1.029,95％ CI 1.010-1.049) was the independent risk factor for MCI.Conclusion The MCAS related with MCI occurrence and development.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of demyelinating pseudotumors(DPT)of the brain,and to differentiate it from glioma. Methods The clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of 35 patients with demyelinating pseudotumors of the brain were summarized,and the diagnosis for 18 of them was confirmed by bioscopy.Results Demyelinating pseudotumors affected adults of both sexes.The onset age of patients ranged from 9 to 69 years old.There was no definite antecedent,and the clinical syndromes were atypical. Neuroimaging scans showed multiple lesions in cerebral hemisphere,while the lesion in brain stem and spinal cord was single.The symptom and neuroimaging were not parallel.While with many or large lesions, the symptoms and signs were less.The lesions were not enhanced on CT scan,but appeared round or patch enhancement on MRI scan.Nine patients with DWI all appeared high density.The myelin basic protein was useful for diagnosis.The typical pathological changes were demyelination,perivascular inflammatory infiltration and reactive gliosis.The Creutzfeuldt cells were also found in these patients.The lesions might become small or disappear after treatment,but could not serve as the criterion to exclude brain neoplasm. Conclusions DPT is a distinct demyelination disease entity,which is confusable with brain neoplasm.It is difficult to distinguish DPT from brain neoplasm with the clinical features and conventional neuroimaging scan.But DWI scan is useful.The pathological changes accord with demyelination,and Creutzfeuldt cells are also found.It is important to apply corticosteroid treatment or biopsy rather than being anxious to excise the lesions.

Objective to investigate the level of platelet leukocyte aggregates in patients with acute cerebral infarction and their short term prognosis.Methods 105 patients with acute cerebral infarction onset within 24 hours were selected continuously,then platelet leukocyte aggregates including neutrophil aggregates (PNA) and platelet monocyte aggregates (PMA) and platelet lymphocyte aggregates (PlyA) were detected by flow cytometry within 24 hours of admission and the incidence of 14 days.modified Rankin Scale(mRS) was performed at 14 days of onset,as a prognostic indicator,and the mRS score was good at 3.The score >3 mRS was divided into poor prognosis.The level of platelet leukocyte aggregates was detected in 50 healthy subjects.Results (1) The platelet leukocyte aggregates in patients with acute cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than that of the healthy group,which was statistically significant (P<0.05).(2)MRs score <3 group and mRS score >3 score comparison,the difference of white blood cell aggregates was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion leukocyte aggregates could be used as an index of short-term prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To assess the significance of urethral sphincter electromyography (US-EMG) and external anal sphincter electromyography (EAS-EMG) for the diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA).Methods US-EMG and EAS-EMG were performed in 9 patients who were diagnosed as MSA.Duration,motor unit action potentials amplitude,polyphasicity,as well as recruited pattern and amplitude during powerful contraction were recorded and analyzed.Results Among 9 patients who were diagnosed as MSA,7 cases showed neural injury by both US-EMG and EAS-EMG.There was significant difference of electromyographic findings between US-EMG group and EAS-EMG group (average volatility (μV):1063.44 ±499.92 vs 634.89 ±265.07; polyphasic wave:0(0,20％ ) vs 57％ (28％,63％ ) ; t =2.567,P=0.033;t =2.833,P=0.012).Conclusions Although US-EMG may be difficult to perform,US-EMG may have the same specificity as EAS-EMG for the diagnosis of MSA,especially for the diagnosis of MSA patients only with urination disorders,who are involved in Onuf neclear according to some of the abnormal indexes.

Objective To analyze diagnostic evaluation of urethral sphincter electromyography (US-EMGs) for patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA).Methods Totally 15 patients who were diagnosed as MSA were examined as treatment group while 17 non-MSA patients were examined as controls.US-EMGs were performed in the both groups.Spontaneous activities when relax,parameters of motor unit potentials(MUPs) mean duration and amplitude,percentage of polyphasic ware,satellite potential,recruitment potentials and amplitude when strong contraction were recorded and analyzed.Results USEMGs changes of various abnormalities were found in 13 cases (86.7％) in MSA group.There were significant differences of electromyographic findings between the MSA group and control group including MUPs mean duration[(12.79 ±3.18)ms vs (9.49 ± 1.51)ms] and amplitude[(828.53 ±459.89) μV vs (378.76 ± 152.26) μV] as well as recruitment potentials [(11.47 ± 21.55) ％ vs (8.23 ± 10.74) ％] and amplitude [(2.19 ± 1.24) mV vs (0.75 ± 0.42) mV] when strong contraction (all P values ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There is certain value of US-EMGs for the diagnosis of MSA.It could be used as a routine electrophysiological method for the patients who are suspected of MSA.It could be a supplement of externalanal sphincter electromyography.

Objective To explore the acquired immunity against Schistosoma japonicum infections in the offspring of mother-mice infected with Trichinella spiralis.Methods The offspring of mother-mice infected with Trichinella spiralis and the mice after passively transferring the offspring's sera were sacrificed at day 42 post infection with S. japonicum cercariae. The percentage of reduction in worm burdens was calculated to determine the protective effects. Results Comparing with the control group, the reduction rates of the worm were 24.31% in the offspring, 18.65% and 20.77% in mice with passively transferring the offspring's sera by intravenous injection and muscular injection respectively. Conclusion The offspring of mother-mice infected with Trichinella spiralis and the mice with passively transferring the offspring's sera could acquire protective immunity against Schistosoma japonicum infections.

Objective To evaluate the clinical,neuroimaging and electrophysiology features of 62 patients with multiple system atrophy(MSA).Methods Sixty-two cases with diagnosis of probable MSA were recruited in a retrospective studied.Clinical,neuroimage and external anal sphincter electromyography (EAS-EMG)data was retrospectively analyzed.Results In 62 cases(44 male and 18 female),the onset age was between 37 and 76.Among them,29 cases(46.8 % )were MSA-A,with orthostatie hypotension as the main clinical manifestation;24 cases(38.7 % )were MSA-C,with cerebellar ataxia ag the main chnical manifestation;9 cases(14.5 % )were MSA-P,with extrapyramidal symptoms as the main clinical manifestation.MRI showed that main lesion of MSA-A was in the cerebellum:that of MSA-C was in the cerebellum,pons and medulla;and that of MSA-P was in the putamen.Fifty-one cases did EAS-EMG and 46 cases showed neurogenie impairments.Nineteen cases were initially misdiagnosed with other diseases.Conclusions MSA is easy to be omitted or misdiagnosed at early stage.The diagnostie rate of MSA can be increased by the combination of clinical expressions,neuroimage,EAS-EMG and other necessary examinations.

Objective To report the experience in the use of laparoscopic extravascular stent for the treatment of the nutcracker syndrome. Methods Five patients (4 men and 1 woman) aged 20 to 35 years (mean 25) underwent laparoscopic extravascular stent of the left renal vein (LRV) for treatment of nutcracker syndrome associated with severe recurrent gross hematuria and left gonadal vein varices. All patients met the criteria for establishing the diagnosis of nutcracker syndrome. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed visible entrapment of the LRV between the superior mesenteric artery and aorta. Bleeding from the left ureteral orifice was detected by cystoscopy in 3 cases. An externally reinforced graft was selected to form an external stent around the LRV to relieve the compression. Results The mean operation time was 67 min (65-70min). No complications occurred during surgery. The postoperative follow-up was 9 to 39 months (mean 28). Total relief was achieved in 4 men without a relapse of symptoms and abnormalities were not found in urine tests. There was partial relief for the female patient due to microscopic hematuria after the operation. In all the 5 cases, Color Doppler ultrasonography showed that the blood outflow was smooth, the inner diameter and flow velocity of the aortomesenteric portion of the LRV were both decreased, and the gonadal vein varices had diminished in diameter. Conclusions The laparoscopic extravgscular stent of the renal vein could be a feasible approach for re-establishing free renal venous outflow in patients with nutcracker syndrome. This slightly invasive treatment could eliminate the symptoms of the condition.
