Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of combination of echocardiography with electrocardiography for coronary artery lesions(CAL) in Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods Seventy eight children with KD received echocardiographic and electrocardiographic examination.Seventy eight cases were divided into 3 groups according to the results of echocardiogram.Results CAL was discovered in 45 cases and 32 cases with coronary artery dilation,the other 13 cases with coronary artery aneurysm among them.Abnormal electrocardiogram was found in 16 cases.ratio of abnormal electrocardiogram was higher in CAL group than that in normal coronary artery group(P

OBJECTIVETo compare the effectiveness and safety of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and transurethral enucleative resection of the prostate (TUERP) in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).

METHODSA total of 630 BPH patients with indication of surgery were randomly assigned to receive TURP (n = 305) and TUERP (n = 325), respectively. There were no significant differences preoperatively in age, prostate volume, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and Qmax between the two groups (P > 0.05). The prostate resection rate, operation time, postoperative complications, and quality of life (QOL) of the patients were recorded and statistically analyzed.

RESULTSCompared with TURP, TUERP showed a significantly higher rate of prostate resection ([47.0 +/- 13.3] vs [60.1 +/- 12.3]%, P < 0.05), shorter operation time ([57.9 +/- 15.9] vs [40.4 +/- 14.2] min, P < 0.05), and shorter bladder irrigation time ([2.7 +/- 0.6] vs [2.2 + 1.1] d, P < 0.05). Significant differences were found between the pre- and post-operative levels of serum sodium and hemoglobin in the TURP group ([141.2 +/- 3.5 ] vs [136.9 +/- 4.7] mmol/L, P < 0.01; [137.6 +/- 8.8] vs [124.8 +/- 9.6] g/L, P < 0.01), but not in the TUERP group. Three months after operation, IPSS, QOL, and Qmax were all markedly improved in both groups (P < 0.01), but with no significant differences between the two groups (P >0.05).

CONCLUSIONTUERP is better than TURP in the treatment of BPH for its advantages of higher resection rate of the prostate, shorter operation time and bladder irrigation time, less intraoperative blood loss, fewer postoperative complications, and faster recovery.

Objective To study molecular biology and clinicopathologic characters of peritoneal metastasis of advanced gastric cancer and their relationship to prognosis. Methods Based on the molecular biology and the clinicopathologic characters and prognosis single-factor analysis of relevant factors and risk assessment was made in 193 cases of gastric cancer.Results The younger the patient was with the earlier the time of occurrence of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. There was a high expression of ICAM-1 and MMP-2,but low expression of TIMP-1 and p53 in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis.Conclusions ICAM-1,MMP-2,TIMP-1 and p53 can well predict the occurrence of metastasis and the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer,and these factors can be used for preoperative assessment of the development of metastasis of gastric cancer.

Objective To study the effects of Wenyang Huoxue fang on patients with acute coronary syndrome in clinical presentation,inflammatory reactions,plasmin/plasminogen activators,endothelial cell injurys.Method Eighty cases of acute coronary syndrome were divided into treatment group and control group randomly,40 cases for each group.Both groups were treated with standard management(vasodilaters,cholesterol-lowering,antiplatelet) and the treatment group was given Wenyang Huoxue fang additionally for four weeks.TCM symptoms,effect of angina,TXB2,6-K-PGF,t-PA,PAI,IL-2,IL-6 were observed before and after treatment.Result Effective rate of angina in treatment group and control group was 80% and 65% respectively(P
