Objective To assess the pubvaginal fascia sling cystourethropexy (PV sling) technique and outcomes of the treatment of female type Ⅲ stress urinary incontinence. Methods From October 2005 to January 2008, 9 women presenting with type Ⅲ stress urinary incontinence were treated with Pubvaginal fascia sling cystourethropexy. All the patients underwent 1 h pad test before discharge and were tested with maximum uroflow rate, volume of postal residual urine, maximum urethral close pressure (MUCP) and abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP) after 3 months. Results The operative time ranged from 60 to 90 min (mean, 75 min). Estimated blood loss ranged from 60 to 100 ml (mean, 76 ml). Intraoperative unilateral bladder perforation occurred in 2 cases. One patient with infection of abdominal incision was cured by changed dressings. The urinary catheter was removed 5 days post-operation. 4 patients had normal urination and 1 patient had urine retention. The recovery following intermittent catheterization was 3-12 days. 8 patients got 3-28 months' follow up. 7 patients were cured with 1 h pad test decreased from preoperative 58 g (45-75 g) to postoperative 1 g (0-2 g), mean residual urine was less 65 ml (0-80 ml). The values of Qmax (ml/s),MUCP (cm H2O) and ALPP (cm H2O) were 10. 5±2. 7, 15. 5±3. 4 and 40. 4±8.2 pre-opreative,and 26.5±3.9, 49.8±6.7 and 98.6± 12.2 3 months post-operative. There were significant differences of these parameters between pre-and post-operation (p<0.01). Conclusions PV sling could be a safe and effective surgical procedure fortreatment of type Ⅲ female stress urinary incontinence.

Hemorrhage after prostate biopsy is common, but hemorrhagic shock is rare. We reported a case of sudden severe hematuria on the third day after prostate biopsy, which was considered to be bleeding at the puncture site. Conservative treatment was ineffective, and interventional embolization was performed. Bilateral bulbar urethral arteries were embolized, and the bleeding was stopped successfully. On the 4th day after embolization, the patient developed hypovolemic shock. Angiography showed bilateral prostatic artery bleeding, and the bleeding site and its superior branch arteries were embolized immediately. At 4 months after embolization, no bleeding related events occurred.

Objective To investigate the effects of different immunosuppressive agents on mesangial cell proliferation through a mesangial cell injury model in vitro. Methods Mesangial cell line (HBZY-1) in period of proliferation was cultured in vitro with cytochalasin B for 2 h, then HBZY-1 cells were divided into 5 groups: blank (control) group, cyclosporine A (CsA) group, Tacrolimus (Tac) group, mycophelonate mofetil (MMF) group and rapamycin (RAPA) group. Subsequently,the number of HBZY-1 cells at different time points was measured by using the professional image analysis software after treatment for 6, 12 and 24 h, respectively. Results Damaged HBZY-1 cells recovered in all groups. At 6 h, the number of HBZY-1 cells in Tac group was significantly more than that in control group (P<0.05), but the difference had no significance between the other treatment groups and control group (P>0. 05). At 12 h, there was no significant difference in of the number of HBZY-1 cells among the all groups (P>0. 05). At 24 h, there was no significant difference in the cell number between MMF and control groups (P>0. 05). CsA, Tac and RAPA resulted in HBZY-1 cell proliferation, and the cell number in CsA and Tac groups was significantly more than that in the other groups (P<0. 05). As compared with the control group, the cell number in RAPA group was significantly increased (P<0. 05). Conclusion CsA, Tac, MMF and RAPA contribute to recovery of damaged HBZY-1 cells, but CsA and Tac result in over-proliferation of HBZY-1 cells. RAPA and MMF can prevent HBZY-1 cells against over-proliferation, and MMF scarcely results in HBZY-1 cell proliferation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical safety and efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic ventral onlay lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty for ureteral stricture.Methods:The clinical data of 6 patients with ureteral stricture admitted to the Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from December 2020 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 males and 3 females, with an average age of (40.2±11.5) years old. The status of ureteral stricture and hydronephrosis was measured by ultrasonography, CT urography and ureteral retrograde angiography. There were 2 cases of left ureteral stricture and 4 cases of right ureteral stricture, including 4 cases of upper segment stricture and 2 cases of middle segment stricture. The separation of the renal pelvis on the affected side was 3.2 (2.1, 4.2) cm. The length of ureteral stricture was 3.8 (2.5, 4.3) (1.0-5.0) cm, and the preoperative blood creatinine was 90(71, 97)μmol/L. Robot-assisted laparoscopic ventral onlay lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty was performed in all cases under general anesthesia. The strictured ureter segment was separated and longitudinally cut during the operation. The lingual mucosal grafts 2.5-5.0 cm in length and 1.0-1.5 cm in width was cut according to the stricture. Then the lingual mucosal grafts were harvested and placed in the strictured ureter as a ventral onlay. One double J tube was placed in the affected side in all cases during operation. The perioperative outcomes and complications were analyzed. The blood creatinine and renal pelvis separation on the affected side after surgery were compared with the preoperation.Results:All the surgeries were successfully completed. The average operative time was (190.8 ± 59.0) min, median blood loss was 40 (20, 63) ml, postoperative indwelling time of the drainage tube was 6 (4, 6) days, gastrointestinal function recovery time was 3 (2, 3) days, postoperative hospital stay was 6 (6, 7) days. The patients had clear pronunciation and lingual incision recovered 1 week post-operatively. The urine tube was removed 2 weeks after surgery, and the double J tube was removed 8 (6, 10) weeks post-operatively. Radiological examination revealed significant difference in hydronephrosis on the affected side 3 months post-operatively compared with the preoperation, and the separation of the renal pelvis on the affected side was 1.2 (1.2, 1.4) cm after surgery. The blood creatinine was 79(71, 104)μmol/L at 3 month after surgery, which was also improved compared with preoperative.Conclusions:Robot-assisted laparoscopic ventral onlay lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty is a feasible and safe option for the treatment of ureteral stricture with less trauma, rapid recovery, and less complications.

Surgery is the first choice for patients with primary hyperaldosteronism diagnosed with aldosterone-producing adenoma and unilateral adrenal hyperplasia.The objective of surgical treatment is to excise the adrenal aldosterone hypersecretion tissue and improve the prognosis. However, the choice of partial adrenalectomy or total adrenalectomy is still controversial. In this paper, the efficacy, safety, postoperative cortisol level, postoperative recurrence and surgical techniques of primary hyperaldosteronism subtypes treated by different surgical methods were discussed.

Ureteral calculi after lingual mucosal ureteral reconstruction are rare. In this paper, we reported a case of a male patient who had undergone robotic-assisted laparoscopic lingual mucosal right ureteroplasty. Calculi were found in the right reconstructed ureteral segment 4 months after surgery. Then the patient underwent transurethral ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy combined with a stone retrieval basket, and postoperative urological CT showed no residual calculi in the right ureter. No recurrence of right ureteral calculi or complications were observed during 20 months of follow-up.
