Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of transobturator inside-out tension-free urethral suspension (TVT-O) as the surgical treatment on post-operational recurrence of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods Eleven women with SUI recurrence who underwent TVT-O were selected in the research. Their incontinence recurred from 1 months to 8 years after the previous surgical treatment.Results The operative time was (28 ±9) min, the bleeding volume was (15 ±5) ml. Postoperative complications: urinary retention in 1 case, vaginal erosion in 1 case. Follow-up was enforced for 6-36months, median time was 16 months. Grouts-Blaivas analogue scale:among the 11 patients, 9 patients were cured, 2 patients were improved. ICI-Q-SF score: preoperative 13-21 ( 15.36 ± 2.34) scores compared to postoperative 0-9 (1.46 ±3.27) scores (t =5.850,P ＜0.01 ). I-QOL score: preoperative 23.33-36.67(29.85 ± 4.74) scores compared to postoperative 66.67-100.00 (95.15 ± 10.12) scores (t = 17.753,P ＜0.01 ). PISQ-12 score of 10 patients: preoperative 16-25 (20.10 ± 3.07) scores compared to postoperative 11-20( 14.00 ± 2.83 ) scores (t = 11.600, P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion If conservative treatments fail, TVT-O is highly effective and safe for the postoperative recurrent SUI.

AIM: To study the effects of oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) on the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) and intracellular free calcium concentration （［Ca2＋］i） level in cultured human umbilical venous endothelial cells(HUVECs). METHODS: The MCP-1 protein content in the medium of conditioned HUVEC was measured by ELISA, and the ICAM-1 on HUVECs was detected by indirect immunofluorescence, and ［Ca2＋］i was determined by Fluo-3/AM, the injury of cells was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).RESULTS: oxHDL could induce the expression of MCP-1 and ICAM-1 in HUVECs. In oxHDL group (HUVECs were incubated with 100 mg protein/L oxHDL for 24 h), the levels of MCP-1, ICAM-1 and ［Ca2＋］i increased by 160%, 60% and 70% respectively compared with the control group (P＜0.01). When HUVECs were incubated with 300 mg protein/L oxHDL for 24 h, cells were injured obviously. CONCLUSION: By inducing the expression of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 in endothelial cells, oxHDL may promote monocyte-endothelium adhesion and monocyte migration to intima, it may promote atherosclerosis as oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL).

SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) is involved in the post-translational modifications of proteins,and this process is referred to as SUMOylation.SUMOylation plays an important role in the regulation of cellular activities such as strengthening the stability of the protein,nucleocytoplasmic transport,DNA repair,DNA replication,mitotic and meiotic chromosome behavior,et al.SUMOylation is a dynamic process and can be reversed by SUMO-specific proteases (SENP).Once the balance between SUMOylation and de-SUMOylation is broken,there will be an aberrant expression of SUMO or SENPs in cells to happen,which may lead to the tumor occturtrence.

Objective To investigate the effect of tonic pain stimulation on the attention network test (ANT) . Methods Twenty healthy males recruited from university were enrolled in this study, and laboratory pain was induced by cuff pressure stimulation on the upper arm. All subjects performed the task separately under pain, no-pain and pressure conditions. The reaction time and accuracy rate of the ANT were quantified. The subjective pain perception was assessed by the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire ( SF-MPQ) . Results Across three conditions, the executive network showed significant pain effect (F = 76.31 , P< 0.001) : no-pain condition at (92.51 ±35.71 )ms, pressure condition at (94.06 ±25. 28) ms, pain condition at ( 120.24 ± 18.21 )ms. Furthermore, the average reaction time and the A-scores (i. e. affective words) in SF-MPQ caused by pain was positively correlated ( r = 0.11, P = 0.03) . Conclusion Pain can result in deficit in the executive network for attention regulation. The negative affections caused by pain can interfere with attention.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the serum anti-lysosome associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2) antibody levels and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis.Methods Thirty-three patients with new onset ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis and thirty healthy controls were enrolled.ANCA detection was performed using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect myeloperoxidase (MPO),proteinase-3 (PR3) and other ANCA-associated antibodies including LAMP-2.The cut-off value of the serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody was determined by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results The serum levels of anti-LAMP-2 antibody in new onset ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis patients were significantly higher than remission stage ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis patients and healthy controls (P ＜ 0.05).The serum levels of anti-LAMP-2 antibody showed no visible difference between the remission ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis patients and healthy controls (P ＞ 0.05).The levels of anti-LAMP-2 antibody showed a strong positive correlation with ESR,Scr,BUN,proteinuria,crescent proportion and Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) and a negative correlation with Ccr,Hb and Alb.Conclusions Anti-LAMP-2 antibody is correlated with the activity of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis and the severity of renal damage.It may be a useful indicator on the activity of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis.

With the improvement of survival outcome by modern surgical treatment,more and more attention has been paid to the postoperative quality of life.As known,the most related factor of postoperative quality of life is the pattern of digestive tract reconstruction.Current evidences indicate that Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy + jejunal pouch has some advantages in total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy might be most suitable reconstruction in distal gastrectomy.Pylorns-preserving gastrectomy and proximal gastrectomy are only considered in early gastric cancer,i.e.predictive cTlcN0.Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy does not exactly superior to distal gastrectomy.Total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy is superior to proximal gastrectomy with esophagogastrostomy.For unresectable lower tumor with gastric outlet obstruction,gastric cancer Devine exclusion + gastrojejunostomy might be better than simple gastrojejunostomy,while stent placement is safer and suitable for predictively short-term survival,poor performance status or senility patients.However,the current available evidences of reconstruction in gastric cancer surgery is still poor in quality and more high-quality large-scale multi-center randomized controlled trials are required to resolve the controversies.

Objective To analyze the complications caused by microwave ablation for hepatic cavernous hemangiomas, and to discuss the prevention and treatment of the complications. Methods During the period from July 2009 to May 2011 at authors’ hospital, a total of 34 times of microwave ablation procedure were carried out in 30 patients with hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. The microwave ablation-related complications were recorded and the prognosis was evaluated. Results Serious complications occurred in 2 patients (6.7%), including acute hemolysis leading to acute renal failure (n = 1) and abdominal wall abscess (n = 1). Postoperative fever was seen in 18 cases (60%), transient hemoglobinuria in 4 cases (13.3%), nausea with vomiting in 5 cases (16.7%), marked pain at the surgical area in 8 cases (26.7%), right pleural effusion in 4 cases (13.3%), hepatic dysfunction in 24 cases (80%) and leukocytosis in 11 cases (36.7%). No treatment-related death occurred. Conclusion For the treatment of hepatic cavernous hemangiomas, microwave ablation is minimally invasive with higher safety and satisfactory effect, although this technique carries somewhat higher risks when the hemangioma is larger or the location of the hemangioma is anatomically complicated. Some of these complications can be early detected and proper management should be actively adopted in order to avoid as well as to minimize the adverse results.

Objective This article made an exploration on the feasibility of combined applica-tion of TBL with LBL in immunology experiment teaching, and analyzed teaching effectiveness of such combined model in order to find a new way of teaching reformation. Methods 2012 grade biophar-maceutical technology students were chosen in this research, one class as the experimental group(n=42), the other one as control group(n=42). In the experimental group, students were taught on a TBL+LBL combination model, while in the control group, students were taught only on LBL model. After the course was finished, effects of teaching were evaluated by questionnaire survey and compre-hensive ability evaluation. SPSS 18.0 software was used to do statistical analysis. Quantitative data and qualitative data were analyzed by t test and chi-square test respectively. P<0.05 means that difference is statistically significant. Results Above 90.0% of students in experiment group approved that TBL+LBL can improve the interest in learning , can enhance sense of teamwork , can help acquiring of knowledge and improving of individual comprehensive ability. Average score of comprehensive ability evaluation and percentage of students achieving good score in experimental group were higher than those in control group, the differences were statistically significant(t=2.020, P=0.049; χ2=6.372, P=0.012). Conclusion The TBL+LBL combination model can improve immunology experiment teach-ing quality, and is worth publicizing.
