Objective To determine the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron sucrose and oral iron dextran in renal anemia patients. Methods Sixty renal anemia patients were randomized into two groups:intravenous iron group(IV group, 100 mg iron sucrose twice a week) and oral iron group(oral group, 150 mg iron dextran every day). The changes in hemoglobin (Hb),hematocrit (Hct),serum ferritin (SF),and transferrin saturation (TSAT) were assessed on week 4,8, and 12 after treatment. The maintenance dosages of erythropoietin (EPO) after reaching treatment target and the adverse events were also observed. Results Hb increased after treatment in IV group [(79.87 ± 13.19) g/L to (106.11 ± 12.38) g/L] and oral group [(85.41 ± 11.49) g/L to (94.68 ± 10.06) g/L],and compared with that before treatment, there was significant difference in each group(P< 0.01 ). Also significant difference showed in Hb levels after treatment between two groups(P< 0.01 ). SF and TSAT levels were higher after treatment in IV group than those in oral group (P < 0.01 ). The adverse event was lower in IV group (0) than that in oral group (16.7%,5/30).Conclusions Oral iron dextran which has more adverse events and poor efficacy in curing anemia, can not correct anemia ideally. Meanwhile intravenous iron sucrose has positive effects on renal anemia with low adverse events, and it can be used as a long term iron supplementation in hemodialysis patients.

Biopsies were randomly taken from 160 patients through endoscopy. Among them 46 patients suffered from chronic superfacial gastritis, 39 patients from chronic atrophic gastritis, 39 patients from gastric ulcer, and 36 patients from gastric cancer. Ras, p16, and p53 genes were analysed with polymerase chain reaction single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR SSCP). Helicobacter pylori (HP) was examined with RUT. Result: ① the positive rates of ras and mutant p53 in gastric cancer were significantly higher than that in gastritis and gastric ulcer( P

Objective To study the effectiveness of the complete ureterel reconstruction using bladder flap after cadaveric renal transplantaion.Methods In 13 recipients with complete necrosis of ureter after renal transplant from July 1995 to October 2003, tubelike bladder flaps were applied to ureteraplasty substitute for the necrosis ureter. Artificial pyeloureterostomy was performed and double T tubes were used as the stents. Routine drainage-tubes were placed in incisions. Results All patients were successful in ureteral reconstruction. The renal function of 10 patients was improved significantly 4 weeks postoperation. Nephrectomy was performed in one patient because of severe circumrenal infection 7 days after operation. One-year survival rate of recipients and allografts was ~100 % (13/13) and ~92.3 % (10/13) respectively. Urine reflow occurred in 2 patients during a follow-up of 12 months. Conclusion The use of bladder flap for ureteral reconstruction is an effective technique for total autograft ureteral necrosis.

Objective To study an effective pathway in preventing the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(H.C.C) and improve the long-term curative effects.Methods 103 resectable cases of H.C.C were randomly divided into treatment group,hepatectomy plus hepatoarteria-and portal chemotherapeutics embalizations with subcutaneous pump(HACE and PVCE) group and control group(Only hepatectomy).Based on changes of ?-fetoprotein(AFP) for pre-and post operation and results of"B" ultrasound and CT,hepatic artery portography,the difference of 1,3,5-year recurrence rates and survival rates between the two groups were compared.Results ⑴The recurrence rates of treatment group and control group for 1,3,5-year were 13.5%,46.2%,67.3% and 19.6%,60.8%,86.2% respectively,there was an obviously difference (P

Objective　To explore the cause, diagnosis and treatment of retroperitoneal fibrosis.Methods　5 cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis were respectively treated by moving ureter into abdomen cavity, encapsulating with pediculate omenta and ilel ureter.Results　Following-up of 5 cases for 1 to 3 years, all cases had normal renal functions and hydronephrosis were much decreased.Conclusions　Intravenous urogenous(IVU),retrograde pyelography(RGP) and computed tomography (CT) are important methods to diagnose the disease. And the treatment method chosen depends on the range, location of ureterostenosis, and whether the ureter is open or not.

Purpose　To investigate the pathomorphological and immunohistochemical features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods　Light microscopy was used to study the morphologic characteristics of 77 cases of GIST. The expression of c-kit(CD117), CD34, vimentin, SMA and S-100 protein were detected in all cases with S-P immunohistochemical method. Results　GIST tended to have a higher degree of cellularity and lesser degree of cytoplasmic eosinophilia than observed in classic leiomyomas. The neoplastic cells of GIST were spindle, epithelioid or both in different proportion. Focal to prominent cytoplasmic vacuolization was often seen. The histological spectrum included interlacing fascicles, diffuse sheets, storiform and palisading pattern. The formation of cell clusters was rather special. Stromal and vascular hyalinization was common. GIST primary in the mesentery tended to have a higher potentiality of malignancy. The positivity of CD117 and CD34 were 90%, 92%, respectively. Conclusion　The characteristic histological features exist in GIST. The detection of CD117 and CD34 is helpful to differential diagnosis.

Laryngeal interarytenoid neurilemmomas (LIN) is a benign encapsulated tumor originating from the schwann cells lining nerve fibers. Even though LINs are extremely rare in incidence, they could present with potential threat to the airway and thus requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report two cases of LINs. Both patients underwent excision of the tumor via microlaryngeal endoscopic procedures and recovered well postoperatively without complications. No recurrence was observed postoperatively on routine follow-up after 14 months.

The incidence of toxic keratopatby is increasing yearly.Due to the shortage of specific clinical manifestations,the diagnosis and treatment of the disease are relatively difficult,hence toxic keratopathy has received extensive attention of the domestic and abroad scholars.In recent years,with the development of ophthalmic examination technology and progress of instruments,its mechanism,diagnosis and treatment have been newly cognized.These three aspects will be reviewed in this article.

Background Heparanase degrade heparan sulfate side chains of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix.Heparanase induces angiogenesis and likely promotes the vascularization of tumor.ObjectiveThe present study is to investigate the expression of heparanase and perlecan in retinas with oxygen-induced retinopathy.Methods Sixty-five clean neonatal C57BL/6J mice were raised in a hyperbaric oxygen box with a volume percentage of 75%±2% for 5 days and then returned to the normal air room.Another 65 matched mice were raised in the normal environment as controls.Evans blue was infused by the superior vena cava in all the mice on postnatal days 12,13,17,21 and 30,afterwards fluorescein angiography was performed and then the mice were sacrificed.The retinas of mice were isolated and prepared and the retinal vessels were examined under a fluorescent microscope and optical microscope.Heranase and perlecan mRNA was detected using reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR).Heranase and perlecan proteins were detected by Western blot.The analysis of variance was used to compare the mRNA and the protein levels of heranase and perlecan between the experimental and control groups.Results The expression of heparanase mRNA in the retinas of different ages of mice and the different groups showed significant differences (F_(group)=16.303,P=0.000;F_(time)=18.614,P=0.000;F_(interaction)=11.299,P=0.000),and the expression of heparanase mRNA was significantly enhanced in mice from postnatal days 12,13,17 and 21 compared with normal control mice (P=0.001,0.000,0.000,0.001,respectively).The expression of heparanase protein in the retinas of different ages of mice and the different groups followed the same tendency(F_(group)=458.134,P=0.000;F_(time)=78.466,P=0.000;F_(interaction)=71.398,P=0.000).The expression of perlecan mRNA in the retinas of different ages of mice and the different groups showed significant differences (F_(group)=7.351,P=0.013;F_(time)=9.098,P=0.000;F_(interaction)=3.349,P=0.000),and increase in differences also were clearly seen in mice from postnatal days 13,17 and 21 compared with normal control mice (P=0.048,0.000,0.003,respectively).Conclusion The expression of heparanase and perlecan is associated with the development and progression of retinal neovascularization,and perlecan and heparanase together produce a synergistic effect.Heparanase and perlecan may participate in the angiogenesis of oxygen-induced retinopathy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and peripheral neuropathy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods Clinical data of elderly patients with T2DM in Endocrinology Department in Beijing Hospital were retrospectively collected.Global and sectorial retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)thicknesses were measured by using optical coherence tomography(OCT),and never conduction velocity measurements were performed in all patients.Diabetic peripheral neuropathy was diagnosed by the criteria in diabetic neuropathies update(2010,American Diabetes Association).RNFL thickness was compared between diabetic nonperipheral neuropathy group (control group,n =30)and diabetic peripheral neuropathy group (DPN group,n=17)and between different sub-groups.Results The RNFL thicknesses of temporal,nasal,superior and inferior visual fields and the mean RNFL thickness were less in DPN group than in control group,among which there were significant differences in the RNFL thicknesses of superior,inferior visual fields and the mean RNFL thickness [(107.7±27.4)μm vs.(128.1±17.3)μm,(112.9 ±20.8)μm vs.(130.8±21.8)μm,(88.2±15.5)μm vs.(100.5± 11.3)μm,F=7.446,7.468,7.988,respectively,P=0.009,0.009 and 0.007].RNFL thickness was decreased along with the aggravation of DPN from the control group,the subclinical DPN group to the DPN group successively(all P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness is associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes,and the relationship is more significant in patients with serious DPN.
