Objective To evaluate the short-term safety and efficacy of transurethral plasma kinetic enucleation of the prostate (PKEP)for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)larger than 60 ml. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on clinical data and treatment outcomes of 87 cases of BPH with prostate volume larger than 60 ml in Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command from September 2013 to August 2015.The patients were divided into either PKEP group (45 cases)or plasma kinetic resection of prostate (PKRP)group (42 cases).The operation time,resected adenoma weight,decline in hemoglobin 1 day after operation,and catheterization and irrigation duration were recorded and analyzed.The international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life score (QOL),post-void residual urine volume (PVR),maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax)before surgery and 1 ,3,6 months after operation respectively were evaluated. Results As compared with the PKRP group,the PKEP group excelled in greater resected prostate weight [(52.4 ±15.2)g vs.(40.0 ±14.1 )g,t =3.94,P =0.00],less decline in hemoglobin [(9 ±4)g /L vs. (17 ±6)g /L,t =-7.36,P =0.00],shorter irrigation duration [(1 .1 ±0.3)d vs.(1.4 ±0.5)d,t =-3.42,P =0.00],and shorter catheterization duration [(3.3 ±0.5)d vs.(5.5 ±0.5 )d,t =-20.50,P =0.00].There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of operation time and operative complications such as transient incontinence and hematuria (P >0.05).Postoperative improvements in IPSS,QOL,PVR,and Qmax were similar between the two groups (P >0.05)but significantly improved as compared with before operation (P <0.05). Conclusion PKEP is a new,safe,and effective minimal invasive surgical option for the treatment of BPH larger than 60 ml.

Wnt signal transduction pathway plays a very important role in embryonic development, and its abnormality may lead to developmental defects and cellular malignant transformation. It has been shown that disturbances of the Wnt signal transduction pathway were significantly related to human neoplastic transformation. The core mechanism of the pathway abnormality was the accumulation of free ?-catenin protein in the cytoplasm and nucleus resulting in the expressions of specific target genes by downstream pathway. This paper reviews the composition and structural character, transduction and regulation of the Wnt signal pathway and its relation with human tumorigenesis.

Objective To evaluate the killing efficacy of chlorine-releasing agents (CRAs) with different concentrations on multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.Methods Totally 30 clinical strains of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were collected from November 2008 to December 2009.Killing efficacy of CRAs on these strains was evaluated by quantitative suspension test.The one-way analysis of variance was performed.Results The log values of killing to 30 strains of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were all ≥5.00,when the bacteria were exposed to available chlorine concentrations 400 mg/L of CRAs for 10 min,600 mg/L for 10 min,800 mg/L for 3 min and 1000 mg/L for 1 min,respectively.And effective rates were all 100％. Furthermore,there were significant differences among different available chlorine concentrations exposed for the same time ( except 10 min) ( F =72.72,64.79 and 32.33,P =0.00),and among different exposure time in the same available chlorine concentration ( except 1000 mg/L) ( F =110.42,20.41 and 3.20,P=0.00,0.00 and 0.03).Conclusion Satisfactory killing efficacy of CRAs to multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii can be achieved with available chlorine concentration 500 mg/L to 1000 mg/L and exposure time 10 min to 30 min.

Objective To evaluate argon-helium cryoablation combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in treating primary hepatocellular carcinoma by comparing the changes of AFP level and T cell immunity after the therapy with that obtained after the treatment of argon-helium cryoablation alone and with that obtained after the treatment of TACE alone. Methods (1) Ninety-nine patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma were randomly divided into three groups: group A (n=30), treated with argon-helium cryoablation; group B (n=34), treated with TACE; and group C (n=35), treated with argon-helium cryoablation together with TACE. The patients' gender, age and pathology of three groups were comparable with each other. (2) The peripheral blood T cell immunity and AFP level both before and after the treatment were determined and the results were statistically compared. Results After the treatment the AFP level in all 3 groups was significantly reduced when compared to that determined before the treatment (P < 0.05). And the difference in the decrease of AFP level between group C and A, also between group C and B, was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After the treatment the T cell immunity, including Th, TS and Th / TS, in all 3 groups was significantly different from that determined before the treatment (P < 0.01), and significant difference also existed between group C and A and between group C and B (P < 0.01). Conclusion The statistic analysis of AFP and T cell immunity, which are regarded as the index of therapeutic efficacy, indicates that argon-helium cryoablation combined with TACE is superior to simple argon-helium cryoablation and also to simple TACE in the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To compare the long-term efficacy of the traditional open surgery (OSP) with the thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) in the treatment of patients with the complicated Stanford B aortic dissection. Methods The retrospective analysis of the clinical data was conducted in 118 patients (OSP 45 vs. TEVAR 73) with the complicated type B aortic dissection from January 2004 to January 2015. The long-term survival rate was compared between the two groups and the influencing factors of the postoperative survival was analyzed by using the Cox-regression analysis. Results Significant differences in age, sex and operation time were observed between the two groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); No significant difference in the benefit of long-term survival was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). The refractory hypertension and preoperative aortic overall diameter > 55 mm were the risk factors for the long-term survival (P = 0.021, OR = 11.1, 95%CI:1.428 ~ 86.372; P = 0.001, OR = 4.5, 95%CI: 1.842 ~ 11.346). Conclusions Compared with OSP, no obvious advantage of TEVAR was shown in the ten-year overall cumulative survival. In view of the influence factors of refractory hypertension and the aortic diameter for the long-term survival , we should pay attention to the blood pressure control and the performance of endovascular repair technology whether pre- or post-operation.

Objective To assess the effects of treating varicose vein with endovenous laser treatment(EVLT). Methods 810nm wavelength diode laser machine was used to treat 170 patients with varicose veins of the legs. After treatment, leg bandage compression was used for 2 days, and then changed to elastic stockings for 6-8 weeks. Patients were examined with Doppler ultrasound at follow-up. Results Post-operative follow up(1-12 months) of EVLT in 170 patients indicated 100% rate of greater saphenous vein closure on Doppler ultrasound, and no significant complications. All of the symptoms, disappeared or were significantly improved. Conclusions The results of EVLT of varicose veins have been favorable. This minimally invasive technique appears to be safe, and results in very effective closure of great saphenous vein.
