Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of epirubicin (EPI) and gemcitabine (GEM) alternating sequential intravesical chemotherapy after transurethral resection in the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.Methods 240 patients with primary non-muscle invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma were randomly divided into 2 groups.There were 120 cases for each group,EPI group was given EPI 50 mg (once a week),bladder perfusion,while the EPI+GEM group was given EPI 50 mg (once every other week),GEM 1000 mg (once every other week),alternating sequential perfusion.The follow-up time ranged from 6 to 24 months when the time of tumor recurrence and adverse reactions of chemotherapy were observed and recorded.Results The 2-year tumor free survival rate for EPI group recurrence was 60.0 ％ (72/120),and 75.0 ％ (90/120) for EPI+GEM group.There were statistical significance between the differences of the 2 groups (x2 =5.489,P ＜ 0.05).3 cases in EPI group and 2 cases in EPI+GEM group progressed to muscle invasive bladder cancer,and there was no statistical significance between the differences of bladder cancer progression rates for the 2 groups (2.5 ％ and 1.7 ％) (x2 =0.000,P ＜ 0.05).The main adverse reaction during the treatment was gastrointestinal discomfort (15 cases and 6 cases respectively),no serious haematological toxicity and other adverse reactions were frequent urination,urgency,dysuria and hematuria.The differences between the occurrence rates of adverse reactions for the 2 groups were 25.0 ％ and 11.7 ％,which were statistically significant (x2 =6.252,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder carcinoma,the curative effect is better to use EPI and GEM sequential intravesical chemotherapy than to use EPI alone,which can not only reduce the 2 years recurrence rate after the operation,but also reduce the incidence rate of adverse reactions.Yet,this method cannot change the progress of bladder cancer.

Objective To construct a stable expression plasmids miR-218,to lay the experimental foundation for the expression and mechanism of miR-218 in human renal cell carcinoma.Methods The primers were designed by Has-miR-218 and the miR-218 fragment were amplified by PCR,and then which was connected with the carrier pcDNA3.1 (+) to build a stable expression plasmids.The recombinant plasmids were trasfected into renal cell carcinoma cell line 769-P,and the expression of miR-218 in these cells were detected.Results The plasmids were constructat successfully,which was determind by enzyme digestion and sequencing results.The constructed expression plasmids pcDNA3.1-miR-218 transfection of human renal cell carcinoma cell line 769-P,miR-218 cxpression level of cells was significantly increased after trasfected by recombinant plasmids carrying miR-218 gene (relative expression quantity was 1.64).Conclusion The miR-218 expression plasmids pcDNA3.1-miR-218 were successfully constructed,the plasmids can be applied to the study of miR-218 function and mechanism in renal cell carcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of auricular point sticking before operation for postoperative complications of external excision and internal ligation on mixed hemorrhoid.

METHODSEighty patients with mixed hemorrhoid were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. In the control group, paracetamol and dihydrocodeine tartrate tablets were applied with oral administration 1 h after operation, 510 mg each time, twice a day; at the same time, diosmin tablets were treated with oral administration, 0.9 g each time, twice a day. Three days' treatments were required successively. In the observation group, auricular point sticking was used before operation based on the treatment in the control group. The auricular points of Shen (Co10), Pangguang (CO9), Shenmen (TF4), Pizhixia (AT4), Jiaogan (AH6a) and Gangmen (HX5) were selected. The patients were asked to press the points 3-6 times per day, 3-5 min each time, 3 days' treatment in total. The scores of the postoperative complications in the 1st and the 2nd days were compared between the two groups such as pain, edema, hematochezia, retention of urine, etc.

RESULTSAfter operation, the scores of pain, edema, hematochezia, retention of urine in the 2nd day were all decreased obviously than those in the 1st day in the two groups (all P<0.05); and the scores of pain, edema, hematochezia, retention of urine in the 1st and the 2nd days of the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONAuricular point sticking before operation combined with conventional western medicine with oral administration for preventing and treating postoperative complications of external excision and internal ligation on mixed hemorrhoid achieves positive and reliable efficacy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the ankle-brachial index (ABI)and the extent of coronary artery stenosis and the left ventricular function in elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD)with metabolism syndrome (MS). Methods A total of 140 patients with coronary artery disease was study subjects. In which, 66 cases complicated MS (MS group), 74 cases without MS (non MS group). ABI and the left ventricular function was examined in an patients. Results ABI was 0.90±0.32 in MS group, and 1.03±0.26 in non MS group, there was significant difference between two groups(P=0.015). Compared with non MS group, significant lower ratio of ABI in MS group [43.9%(29/66) vs 27.0%(20/74)] (P=0.038); whereas much more 3-vessel disease in ABI≤0.9 patients compared with those of ABI > 0.9 patients [86.3%(25/29) vs 37.8%(14/37) ], significant lower of the left ventricular function in ABI≤0.9 patients compared with those of ABI >0.9 patients (P<0.05). Conclusion There is more severe of coronary artery stenosis in ABI≤0.9 patients for CHD with MS, more attention should be payed to CHD patients combined with MS.

Objective To explore the value of transvaginal color doppler ultrasound(TVS) in the differential diagnosis of endom-etrial hyperplasia(EH) and endometrial cancer(EC) .Methods The clinical data concerning TVS in 48 patients with EH and 37 pa-tients with EC were reviewed retrospectively ,then we compared the ultrasonic diagnosis with the pathological diagnosis to observe the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis .Results In 48 patients with EH ,the inspection results of 44 cases were accordant with the pathological diagnosis .The rest of 4 cases were misdiagnosed by TVS as EC before operation ,and the accurate rate is 91 .67% (44/48);In 37 patients with EC ,the checking results of 34 cases were consistent with the pathological diagnosis . The rest of 3 cases were misdiagnosed by TVS as endometrial atypical hyperplasia ,and the accurate rate is 91 .89% (34/37) .Con-clusion TVS has diagnostic significance in the differential diagnosis of EH and EC .
