50%;failure,defined as no remission or no deterioration of symptoms;and overall response rate, defined as cure plus improvement. Results The overall response rate was 98% (45/46), and the complete cure rate was 87% (40/46).The mean operative time in patients undergoing bladder neck suspension [(66.7?9.8)min] was significantly longer than those undergoing mid-urethral suspension [(35.1?12.1)min] (P0.005).Shortly after operation,5 cases of bladder neck suspension (28%) and 3 cases of mid-urethral suspension (11%) had urine retention (P

Objective To explore influences of the fistula's location on the procedure and outcome of a transvaginal vesicovaginal (VVF) repair.Methods The medical data of patients undertaken transvaginal VVF repairs in Peking University First Hospital between Janurary 2009 and Auguest 2016 were retrospectively collected,including age,past history,causes of the fistula,disease course,past treatment,outcomes of the cystoscopy and imaging test and surgical information.The follow-ups were performed.Patients who had incomplete clinical data and lost to follow-up were not included.The present study included 68 VVF subjects with the median age of 46 years (range:24-64 years).The univariate analysis was performed to figure out potential risk factors for the VVF repair outcome.The duration and blood loss of VVF repairs were compared among the subjects with the fistulae located at bladder neck,trigone and supra-trigone region.Results There were 5,23 and 40 cases having VVFs located at bladder neck,trigone and supratrigone region respectively.The overall repair success rate was 88.2％ (60/68).According to results of the univariate analysis,subjects with more past repair times had significantly lower success rates.There were no significant differences in success rates of surgical repairs for VVFs located at bladder neck (80.0％,4/5),trigone (91.3％,21/23) and supra-trigone region (87.5％,35/40).And the location of VVFs had no significant association with the duration and blood loss during the VVF repair.Conclusions The location of VVFs had no influences on the procedure and outcomes of the transvaginal repairs.The VVF repair approach may not be determined based on the fistula's location alone.

Objective To study the indication of pelvic autonomic nerve preservation(PANP)for patients undergoing rectal carcinoma resection and evaluate the operative procedure and post-operative urine function.Methods Materials of 18 cases of middle and lower rectum carcinoma,receiving PANP radical resection from Jan. 2000 to Nov. 2002 were reviewed. The perioperative urodynamic index and postoperative long-term sexual function were analyzed.Result Pelvic autonomic nerve was preserved in all 18 patients and they have normal urine function and satisfactory long-term sexual function.Conclusion Male patients aged younger than 60 yrs., with rectal carcinoma of Ducks A to C are suitable for receiving PANP radical resection for better maintenance of the urinal and sexual function.

eiving Solifenacin 5.8% compared to those recei-ving Tolterodine 10.4%(P<0.05). Conclusion Solifenacin could be the safer and effective drug in the treatment of OAB patients with main complaints of urinary urgency and urgy incontinence.

Objective To observe the effect of Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection combined with rehabilitation functional training on upper extremity motor function in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Methods 60 spastic hemiplegic CP children were treated with constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), physical therapy, electromyographic biofeedback stimulation therapy, occupational therapy, family-based training and so on after injected with BTX-A. The muscle tension of the hemiplegic upper extremity accessed by Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), the wrist angle of active dorsiextention motion by orthrometer, fine movement quotient (FMQ) by Peabody developmental motor scale (PDMS-Ⅱ), and activities of daily living (ADL) were performed to evaluate the effects before and 3 months after treatment. Results These outcomes were improved significantly after treatment (P<0.001). Conclusion BTX-A injection combined with rehabilitation functional training could rapidly reduce spasticity of the upper extremity, increase the range of motion, improve motor function of upper extremity in children with spastic hemiplegic CP.

Objective:To explore the effect of swallowing training combined with respiratory intervention on the swallowing function and early neurodevelopment of preterm infants.Methods:Sixty-two preterm infants in neonatal intensive care were randomly divided into a study group of 30 and a control group of 32. All received routine treatment and nursing care plus touching, but the study group was additionally provided with swallowing and respiratory training. The duration of gastric tube use was observed, and a 20-item neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA) was administered at 40 weeks of corrected gestational age.Results:The average period of gastric intubation in the study group [(56.27±22.26) days] was significantly shorter than the control group′s average [(68.97±23.96) days]. The study group′s average NBNA score was significantly higher. Moreover, the NBNA scores were significantly negatively correlated with the intubation times.Conclusions:Swallowing training combined with respiratory intervention can improve the swallowing function of preterm infants, shorten the time a gastric tube is needed, and improve their early neurodevelopment.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic etiology of a child with Aicardi-Goutières syndrome 3 (AGS3). METHODS: Trio whole exome sequencing was carried out for the child and his parents, and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing. To further clarify their pathogenicity, the crystal structure of the variants was simulated and analyzed, and the plasmid of variants was expressed in vitro. A literature search was also carried out to summarize the phenotypic and genetic characteristics of AGS3. RESULTS: The child was found to harbor novel compound heterozygous variants of the RNASEH2C gene, namely c.434G>T (p.Arg145Leu) and c.494G>C (p.Ter165Ser), which were inherited from his mother and father, respectively. Analysis of protein crystal structure suggested that the c.434G>T (p.Arg145Leu) variant may affect the stability of local structure, and in vitro experiments showed that this variant can lead to protein degradation. The c.494G>C (p.Ter165Ser) variant has destroyed the stop codon, resulting in prolonged variant. CONCLUSION The novel compound heterozygous variants of the RNASEH2C gene probably underlay the AGS3 in this child, which has enriched the phenotypic and mutational spectrum of this disorder.

BACKGROUNDTo explore the therapeutic effect of bronchial artery infusion chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for lung cancer with malignant hydrothorax.

METHODSSeventy-five lung cancer patients with malignant hydrothorax were randomly divided into the two groups: 38 patients were given intrathoracic chemotherapy and bronchial artery infusion chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy as observing group; 37cases only received intrathoracic chemotherapy as control group. Chi-square assay was performed to analyze the efficacy (responses for lung cancer and hydrothorax control) after the first course of treatment and the 1-, 2-year survival rates in the two groups.

RESULTSAfter the first course of treatment, the total responses for lung cancer were 31.58% (12/38) and 5.41% (2/37) in the observing group and control group (Chi-square=8.46, P < 0.01) respectively ; and responses for hydrothorax control were 86.84% and 64.86% respectively (Chi-square= 4.96, P <0.05). The 1- and 2-year survival rates in the observing group were 65.79% (25/38) and 26.32% (10/38) respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (40.54% and 5.41%) respectively (Chi-square=4.80, P <0.05; Chi-square=6.10, P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe intrathoracic chemotherapy combined with bronchial artery infusion chemotherapy and immunotherapy is quite effective in the treatment of lung cancer with malignant hydrothorax.

Objective To discuss the outcomes of transvaginal repair and transabdominal repair for complex vesicovaginal fistula (VVF).Methods The data of complex VVF patients undergoing surgical repair in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively collected between January 2009 and December 2016.The surgical modalities for complex VVF included transvaginal repair with layered closure and transabdominal repair with full thick vascular peritoneal interposition.The subtype distribution of complex VVF in transabdominal repair group and transvaginal repair group were recorded.The present study included 63 complex VVF patients with the median age of 46 years (range 26-60 years).There were 32 cases undergoing transvaginal repair with layered closure and 31 cases undergoing transabdominal repair with full thick vascular peritoneal interposition.The proportion of cases having failed previous repairs was significantly higher in transvagical repair group (30/32 vs.23/31,P =0.034).Compared with patients with transvaginal repair,patients with transabdominal repair tended to have multiple VVF without statistic significance (18.8％ vs.29.0％,P =0.338).Patients with transabdominal repair had larger VVF than patients with transvaginal repair (median:1.0cm vs.0.5cm,P ＜ 0.001).Results There were 2 cases suffering from fat liquefaction of surgical incision and 1 case suffering from adhesive intestinal obstruction in patients undergoing transabdominal repair.In the median follow-up duration of 24 months (range 8-102 months)and 29 months (range 8-78 months),the successful rates of transvaginal repair and transabdominal repair were 75％ (24/32) and 93.5％ (29/31).Severe lower urinary tract symptoms occurred in one patient who had urine leakage after transabdomnal repair.The bladder volume of patients in transabdominal group recovered at postoperative 3-6 months.Conclusions In consideration of surgical invasion and fistula condition,transvaginal repair with layered closure and transabdominal repair with full thick vascular peritoneal interposition should be performed individually for complex VVF.Meanwhile,the surgeons need pay attention to other perioperative management.
