Objective To evaluated the clinical outcomes of intravesical instillation resiniferatoxin(RTX) for the treatment of patients with idiopathic overactive bladder(IOAB).Methods 26 cases with IOAB were randomly divided into test(A,14 cases) and control(B,12 cases) groups.The patients in group A were treated by intravesical instillation with 40ml of 0.5% idocain retained within the bladder for 3 minutes at first and with 100ml of 100nmol/L RTX retained within the bladder for 30 minutes late.The patients in group B were treated by the same method,however,the furacilin solution(placebo) at a dilution 1∶5000 was used instead of 100nmol/L RTX.The efficacy(daily voiding frequency,urgent uresis,FDV,MCBC,Qmax) of the 2 groups were evaluated before,1 month and 3 months after treatment.Results The pre-treatment comparion with prost-treatmen at 1 month and 3 months of A group was significant(P0.05).14 patients(54%) had slightly stimulating symptom in the urethra or bladder,and were otherwise generally well tolerated.Conclusion Single administration of RTX is safe and effective in patients with IOAB.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics and risk factors of extended stay over 30 days at tertiary comprehensive hospitals, and explore methods of shortening average length of stay(LOS).Methods Homepage of all inpatients discharged from October 2014 to October 2015 of 31 tertiary comprehensive hospitals in Shanxi province were collected.39 234 cases of these inpatients stayed over 30 days and their case information was complete.A generalized linear model was used for risk factors analysis.Results With the extension of LOS, most of the inpatients with extended stay were found during their 30th-40th days, accounting for 50.21% of all and constituting the highest daily costs as well.The ratio of inpatients decreases with their LOS, and its distribution presents a positive skew in entirety.Distribution of inpatients over 30 days identified urban employees under medical insurance accounting for the highest ratio among all payment categories,and those from the department of orthopedics for the highest ratio among all departments, while those of diseases from injury and poisoning accounting for the highest ratio among all disease categories.The findings indicated ten important factors for extended stay, namely gender, medical payment category, ICD, inter-department transfer, nosocomial infection, and clinical pathway.Conclusions To strengthen management of specific departments and inpatients, focus on key process of medical quality, and accelerate medical insurance payment reform can effectively control extended stay.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a class of RNA molecules, transcripted by RNA polymeraseⅡ, which consists of more than 200 nucleotides and protein-coding function. Many studies have indicated that lncRNA plays an important role in epigenetics, transcription and post-translational processing. The abnormal expression of lncRNA significantly correlates with occurence,development, and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and prognosis of the patients with RCC. This paper summarizes the advances in the research on lncRNA in RCC to reveal the mechanisms of the disease at the molecular level, in order to provide new methods of prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognostic assessment of RCC.

OBJECTIVE: Small diameter vascular grafts (＜ 6 mm) are used predominantly in revascularization and reconstructive procedures. The small diameter vascular grafts already used in our clinical practice include autologous veins or arteries, polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) synthetic vascular grafts. Unfortunately these vascular grafts all have some disadvantages that prohibit their uses. Therefore search for ideal small diameter vascular grafts has become the focus in recent years.DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search of Pubmed database was undertaken to identify the articles about small diameter vascular grafts published in English between January 1990 and January 2007 with the key words of "prosthetic graft, vascular bypass graft, small diameter vascular graft, tissue engineering".STUDY SELECTION: The data were selected firstly to choose the full-text of articles met the criteria. Inclusion criteria: ① Articles about biological vascular grafts; ②Articles about synthetic vascular grafts; ③Articles about small diameter tissue engineering blood vessels. Exclusion criteria: Repetitive or analogical articles or case reports.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 113 articles on small diameter vascular grafts were collected and 41 met the inclusive criteria after eliminated the repetitive or similar studies or case reports.DATA SYNTHESIS : Although biological vascular grafts have the outstanding advantages, such as superior long-term patency, relatively resistant to infection, minimal thromboembolism, etc., they also have predominant disadvantages of limited availability, durability and aneurysm formation. Dacron and ePTFE are currently the standard synthetic vascular grafts in the vascular bypass surgery, but their immediate or long-term patency rates are relatively poor due to compliance mismatch, thrombogenicity and poor haemodynamics, especially when they are used in small diameter revascularization and reconstructive procedures. Thus, various modifications have been applied to Dacron and ePTFE grafts to improve their function. In recent two decades, the emergence of tissue-engineering technology has made the development of a novel biologically viable vascular substitute feasible, and it may prove to be the ultimate solution for better small-diameter vascular grafting.CONCLUCTION: So far there is no completely biodegradable small diameter vascular graft suitable for the arterial circulation in humans. Construction of an ideal small-diameter vascular graft will require an interdisciplinary effort requiring critical contributions from biologists, engineers, and clinicians, with strong collaborations among these 3 fields being crucial to success.
