Objective To study the value of the preoperative detrusor contractility to the outcome assessment of prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods A total of 109 patients with BPH were analyzed.Their ages ranged from 62 to 83 years with a mean of 71 years.All patients underwent urodynamic study to confirm a diagnosis of BOO preoperatively.Further more, their BOO was not caused by nervous, endocrine or other diseases.Pateints were divided into two groups based on maximum detrusor contractility.Group Ⅰ (n =61, BPH with maximum detrusor contractility ≥ 40 cm H2O, 1cm H2O =0.098 kPa) underwent TURP or open surgery, respectively.Group Ⅱ (n =48, BPH with maximum detrusor contractility ≤ 20 cm H2O ) underwent TURP and suprapubic punctural cystostomy simultaneously,the bladder fistula was kept open continuously for at least two weeks postoperatively.The difference in outcome between the two grous was assessed by using urodynamic parameters including maximum detrusor contractility, Qmax and residual urine at one and three months postoperatively respectively.Student's t-test was used to compare the result for normally distributed data and Wilcoxon's signed-ranks test for skewed data in this study.Results There was significant difference in preoperative maximum contractility, Qmax between group Ⅰand groupⅡ (78.4 ±37.0 cm H2O) vs (19.2 ±5.4 cm H2O)(P<0.01), (7.6±2.2 ml/s) vs (2.5 ± 1.1 ) ml/s (P < 0.05) respectively.Although there was significant difference at one month postoperatively in Qmax (17.4 ±2.9)ml/s vs (12.5 ±2.0)ml/s (P<0.05), no significant difference was found in Qmax between the two groups after three months ( 18.3 ±2.8 ml/s) vs ( 15.2 ± 1.8)ml/s (P > 0.05).Conclusions The Qmax may improve and the impaired detrusor recovered gradually after the BOO was removed.Performing an operation on patients with BOO accompanied with detrusor underactivity may be useful to recover detrusor contractility.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of I-FISH for detection of genomic abnormalities in MM. Methods Twenty newly diagnosed MM patients(seven cases at stage Ⅰ , five cases at stage Ⅱ and eight cases at stage Ⅲ according to Bataille staging) were analyzed by combining the technique of CC (R-binding stain) and I-FISH [ including GLP13q14 (RBI gene), GLP17p13. 1 (P53 gene),GLP13q14. 3(D13S319) ,GLP1q21 ,GLP14q32(IgH gene) DNA sequence probes]. These two methods were compared for the detection rates of chromosomal and genomic abnormalities in MM and the association between genomic abnormalities and Bataille stages was also analyzed. Results CC examination showed only 1 case [5% (1/20) ] was found complex chromosomal abnormalities--46,XX,-2,del(3) (p21) ,add(6)(q26) ,der(10)(q26),der(14)(q32), + mar, inc[6]. While I-FISH assay showed that 12 cases [60%(12/20) ] were found genomic abnormalities. The frequencies of RB1, D13S319 and P53 were all 30%(6/20), and the frequencies of IgH gene and 1q21 were both 20% (4/20). The detection rate of the I-FISH was much higher than CC (χ2 = 9. 09, P = 0. 001) according to paired χ2 test. Of 20 patients,6 cases had RB1 gene abnormality, 1 case at stage Ⅰ , 2 cases at stage Ⅱ and 4 cases at stage Ⅲ. Of 20 patients, 6 cases had D13S319 gene abnormality, 2 cases at stage Ⅰ , 1 case at stage Ⅱ and 3 cases at stage Ⅲ. Of 20 patients, 6 cases in 20 had P53 gene abnormality, 2 cases at stage Ⅰ and 4 cases at stage Ⅲ. Of 20 patients, 4 cases had 1q21 gene abnormality, 2 cases at stage Ⅰ and 2 cases at stage Ⅲ. Of 20 patients, 4 cases had IGH gene abnormality, 1 case at stage Ⅰ and 3 cases at stage Ⅲ. Conclusion Ⅰ-FISH has higher detection rate for the genomic abnormalities in MM and can be used in detection of MM patients in different Bataille stages.

Objective To investigate the significance of overexpression of P53 and bcl-2 protein in carcinogenesis of cervix. Methods 10 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasis(CIN) and 57 cases of invasive cancer were investigated with immunohistochemistry technique. Results The overexpresion of P53 protein in CIN and cervical cancer was significantly higher than that of control, respectively (P<0.01). But there was no significant difference between CIN and cervical cancer(P>0. 05). The immunoreactivity of bcl-2 in CIN was much more higher than that of control (P<0.05). The positive rate and immunoreactivity of bcl-2 in cervical carcinoma were both remarkably higher than those of control (P<0. 01) ,but there was no significant difference between CIN and cervical carcinoma (P>0. 05). It was also found that there was a remarkably positive correlation between the overexpression of bcl-2 and P53 (P<0.01). Conclusion Because of the loss of wtP53 function,the expression of bcl-2 can not be down-reguated,which is associated with the pathogenesis and development of cervical carcinoma.

Objective To analyze the elonal gene rearrangement and complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) Repertoire of TCR β-chain in fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) specimens of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Methods The TCR CDR3 region genes of 24 TCR Vβ subfamilies were amplified by utilizing RT-PCR technology, and the CDR3 size lengths of TCR β-chain were analyzed with genesean technology for 4 healthy individuals and 4 patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The clonality of T cells presumed by spectratyping was further confirmed by CDR3 sequencing. Results TCR β-chain presented specific repertoire skewing in 4 cases with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and only 1-4 TCR Vβ subfamily T cells were identified, respectively. Clonal expanded T cells, including mono, bioclonal and oligoclonal trend patterns, in one or more Vβ subfamilies were found in all cases. The mono expanded T cells have different CDR3 amino acid sequences. Conclusion Characteristic T cells cloning proliferation and selected usage of TCR Vβ subfamily T cells were found in 4 cases with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The sequences of CDR3 in different TCR clone proliferation are different.
