Objective To study the related risk factors of pulmonary embolism(PE) in diabetic patients.Methods 58 diabetic cases were underwent lower limbs 99mTc-MAA veins imaging(and/or ultrasonography) and pulmonary perfusion imaging.The related laboratory data [fasting blood glucose(FBG),blood cholesterol,blood long chain triglycerides(LCT)]and clinial informations [age,disease courses,chest symptoms(chest pain and short of breathe),lower limbs symptoms(swelling,crooted veins and diabetic foot) and acute complication(diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar non ketotic diabetic coma)]were collected simultaneously.SPSS was used for χ2-test and Logistic regression analysis.Results 28 patients(48.3%) were showed to be with lower limbs deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and by 99Tcm-MAA imaging,10 cases(17.2%) with PE.The PE ratio(32.1%) of the patients with DVT was more higher than no DVT(3.3%)(χ2 = 6.53,P＜0.05).Single factor analysis showed the PE ratios had significant difference to factors of chest symptoms,lower limbs symptoms and acute complication(all P＜0.05),respectively.There were no significant difference in other factors of age,disease courses,FBG,blood cholesterol,LCT,blood pressure,weight index,DM type(all P＞0.05),respectively.Multiplicity analysis indicated:the related risk factors of PE included chest symptoms(Score = 13.316,P＜0.01) and lower limbs symptoms(Score = 7.780,P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in other factors(all P＞0.05),respectively.Conclusion The serious DM with chest symptoms,lower limbs symptoms and/or DVT could be controlled as early as possible by all kinds of treatment.It would decrease the PE complication.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between ultrasound-assayed detrusor thickness and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in old men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods The 106 BPH patients underwent the urodynamic examination on which the diagnosis of BOO was dependent. The obstruction was defined as the Abrams-Griffiths nomogram (A-G index)≥40 and the grade of linear passive urethral resistance relation (LinPURR)≥Ⅱ . When bladder capacity reached 150 ml, the detrusor thickness was measured by abdominal ultrasound. Results Compared with unobstructed group, the maximum flow rate and average flow rate were both lower in obstructed group [(10.1±3.0) ml/s vs. (17.4±3.1) ml/s, (5.5±2.2) ml/s vs. (11.2±2.2) ml/s, t= 10.26and 11.03, both P＜0.01]. And the residual urine volume and maximum detrusor pressure were significantly higher in obstructed group than in unobstructed group [(47.6 ± 24.3) ml vs. (17.0 ±5.6) ml, (39.3±14.4) cm H2Ovs. (26.8±8.0) cm H2O, t=6.32 and 4.07, P＜0.01 or 0.05].Detrusor thickness was positively correlated with maximum detrusor pressure (r= 0.419, P＜0.01),but negatively correlated with maximum flow rate (r =- 0.749, P＜ 0.01 ), mean flow rate (r=-0.853, P＜0.01) and voided volume (r=-0.556, P＜0.01). There was significant difference in detrusor thickness between obstructed group and unobstructed group [(3.0± 0.2) mm vs. (2.5 ±0.2) mm, t= 11.2,P＜0.05]. According to the diagnostic standard of detrusor thickness≥3.0 mm,it had a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 84.6%, a positive predictive value of 93.1% and a negative predictive value of 78.6%. Conclusions Detrusor thickness of 3.0 mm or greater has a certain predictive value for BOO in old men.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of polyscope modular flexible ureteroscope combined with Holmium laser lithotrip-sy in the treatment of renal calculi. Methods 53 patients with renal calculi were performed CTU to detect the position of renal calculi before operation. The patients were treated with polyscope modular flexible ureteroscope combined with Holmium laser, and the double J tube were routinely indwelled 4 to 12 weeks after surgery. Results All the 52 patients has successfully completed the operation in the frist stage. The mean operative time was about 38 minutes. 6 patients were treated with flexible ureteroscope for second stage operation. One week after oper-ation, the review showed that there were residual calculi existed in 24 cases and there were 56 cases of post-operative infection, including 17 cases of sepsis or sepsis shock. Conclusion Polyscope modular flexible ureteroscope can be used for all kinds of kidney stones surgery and is characterized by safety and mild tissue injury. But we should pay more attention to the post-operative infection especially urosepsis.

OBJECTIVE: To review targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) surgery for the construction of intelligent prosthetic human-machine interface, thus providing a new clinical intervention paradigm for the functional reconstruction of residual limbs in amputees. METHODS: Extensively consulted relevant literature domestically and abroad and systematically expounded the surgical requirements of intelligent prosthetics, TMR operation plan, target population, prognosis, as well as the development and future of TMR. RESULTS: TMR facilitates intuitive control of intelligent prostheses in amputees by reconstructing the "brain-spinal cord-peripheral nerve-skeletal muscle" neurotransmission pathway and increasing the surface electromyographic signals required for pattern recognition. TMR surgery for different purposes is suitable for different target populations. CONCLUSION TMR surgery has been certified abroad as a transformative technology for improving prosthetic manipulation, and is expected to become a new clinical paradigm for 2 million amputees in China.
