·AIM: To investigate the efficacy and security of the silicone membrane implant through observing intraocular pressure, filtering blebs and histopathologic results.·METHODS; Forty rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups. Each group consisted of 10 rabbits. Trabecu-lectomy and silicone membrane implantation were performed in one eye of each rabbit, while the other eye was only performed trabeculectomy as control. The change of intraocular pressure, filtering blebs were observed postoperatively. And each eye had undergone histopathologic examination.·RESULTS:The duration of low intraocular pressure and existence of filtering blebs in implanted eyes was longer than that in controlled eyes. Light microscopy revealed that patent drainage tract and biting site could be seen in silicone membrane implanted eye. The activity and regularity of fibroblast proliferation in implanted eyes and controlled eyes were similar. Excessive expression of fibroblast proliferation was not induced by silicone membrane.·CONCLUSION: Characterized by safety, effectiveness and simplicity, silicone membrane implantation can act as a new drainage surgery.KEYWORDS: silicone membrane; drainage surgery;intraocular pressure

Objective To investigate the clinical,pathological and histopatholo(g)ical features of primary bladder clear cell carcinoma and discuss the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods The clinical and pathological features of one primary bladder clear cell carcinoma case retrospectively were analyzed,with the combination of reviewing reported literatures. Results The patient came to hospital with the chief complaint of urinary tract symptom and gradually developed gross hematuria.The tumor was located in the left wall of the bladder and was confirmed to be clear cell carcinoma by preoperative biopsy.Partial cysteetomy,ureteroneocystostomy and hysterectomy plus bilateral adnexectomy were performed.The patient received chemotherapy postoperatively and was tumor free 6 months post operatively. Conclusions Primary clear cell carcinoma of the bladder is a rare type of bladder adenocarcinoma.The diagnosis depends on the clinical and pathological study.Surgical operation is effective and the outcome of the disease is better than other non-urothelium carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the clinical presentations, pathologic features, and the di-agnosis and treatment of prostate sarcomatoid carcinoma. Methods Two cases of prostate sarcoma-told carcinoma were analyzed with review of the relevant literature. Case 1, a 51-year-old man com-plained of dysuria and perineal discomfort for 2 months, was admitted because of acute urinary reten-tion. His serum PSA was 2.31 ng/ml. Heterogeneous density of the prostate left lobe and bladder neck involvement was shown on CT scan. Prostate sarcomatoid carcinoma was confirmed by transrec-tal prostate biopsy, and patient accepted radical cystoprostatectomy and ideal conduit followed with lo-cal radiotherapy and hormonal therapy. Case 2 was a 54-year-old male. This ease was admitted with a history of dysuria and intermittent gross hematuria for 1 month. Hypoechoic lesion was found by ul-trasonography,and heterogeneous density of the prostate was shown on CT scan. His serum PSA was 2.61 ng/ml. The prostate biopsy result showed prostate sarcoma. Radical cystoprostatectomy and ide-al conduit was performed on this case. Results The diagnosis of prostate sarcomatoid carcinoma in the 2 cases was confirmed by postoperative pathology. Under microscope, the neoplasm was mainly composed of epithelial and sarcomatoid mesenchymal cells,with a transitional region of these cells. Im-munohistochemical staining showed that the cells were positive for cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen. Vimentin was negative in the epithelial cells, but was positive in the majority of sarcomatoid cell. Both patients died of multi-metastasis at 43 and 19 months after surgery respectively. Conclu-sions Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the prostate is extremely rare with a high grade of malignancy,and its prognosis is poor. The diagnosis depends on pathological features and immunohistochemical studies. Radical resection combined with endocrine therapy and radiotherapy is considered to be the most relia-ble treatment so far.

Objective To discuss the techniques and clinical efficacy of laparoscopic partial cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy for urachal adenocarcinoma. Methods From July 2006 to April 2008, 4 patients with urachal adenocarcinoma were managed by the laparoscopic procedure. Three patients were male, the other one was female, with a median age of 51 (range 42 to 66)years. The mean size of tumors was 3.4(rang 1.9 to 5.4)cm in diameter. Three of them were diagnosed as mucinous adenocarcinoma, the other one was adenocarcinoma. There was 1 patient at stage Ⅱ , and the other three as stage Ⅲ according to Sheldon Stage. Four patients were performed by transperitoneal approach. The boundaries of resection were similar to the open surgery, including resection of the tumor with normal margins, the peritoneum lateral to the two medial unbilical ligaments,the posterior sheath of the rectus muscle and the muscle fibers of the rectus muscle below it, and bilateral pelvic lymphanodes. Results The procedure was successfully in all 4 patients, with a mean operative time of 220(range 150 to 350)min, a mean estimated blood loss of 180 (range 120 to 290)ml.No significant intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred, except for an inferior epigastric artery injury in 1 case. The mean postoperative in-dwelling urinary catheter time was 6 (range 5 to 7)d, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 6 (range 5 to 8)d. All 36 resected lymph nodes (range 8 to 11) were negative. At a median follow-up of 25(range 15 to 36) months, there was no evidence of recurrent disease by radiologic or cystoscopic evaluation. ConclusionLaparoscopic partial cystectomy and bilateral extended pelvic lymphadenectomy in selected patients with urachal tumors could be a safe, feasible, minimally invasive procedure.

LC-MS/MS method was used to simultaneously determine anti-oxidative active catechins EGCG, ECG, EGC and EC in plasma of rats treated with tea polyphenols (TP). The integrated plasma concentration (C') of TP was calculated by means of self-defined weighing coefficient based on percent AUC of individual components, thereby assessing integrated pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of TP via log C'-T curve. The anti-free radical effects of TP were estimated using inhibitory rate of drug-containing serum collected at different times from rats against in vitro lipid peroxidation of mouse liver homogenate. The obtained E-T curves were used to calculate anti-free radical pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of TP. E-logC and E-log C' plots and linear regression were carried out in order to obtain the correlation coefficient (R2). The results indicated that the log C'-T curves of TP, which could be best described by three-compartment model, corresponded to elimination rule of iv administration of drugs. The integrated PK parameters showed that TP was distributed in body rapidly and widely, and eliminated from deep compartment slowly. From comparison of R2 values and consistence of C'-T course and E-T course, it was evident that TP integrated PK behaviors correlated much better with its PD behaviors than individual active components, and thus demonstrated that integrated PK parameters could characterize to maximal extent holistic disposition of Chinese herbal drugs and reflect residence properties of holistic effective substances in biological body.

OBJECTIVETo determine the current status and influence factors of reporting quality of the Chinese meta-analysis on stomatology.
METHODSA comprehensive electronic search was carried out through Chinese BioMedical Literature Database (CBM), VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals (VIP) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and a hand searching was also performed through 19 stomatological journals in Chinese to identify meta-analysis on stomatology. Two reviewers took responsibility for study inclusion, data extraction and reporting quality assessment with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) in duplicate and any disagreement was resolved by discussion.
RESULTSA total of 34 meta-analysis on stomatology were eligible, most of them were on oral medicine and oral and maxillofacial surgery, and mainly focusing on etiology, prevention and treatment of oral diseases. The number of the meta-analysis increased during recent years. Reporting quality of the meta-analysis was not high and the PRISMA scored (13.6 ± 4.2). The main factors that influenced the reporting quality of meta-analysis were published on evidence-based medicine journals (adjusted β = 0.53, t = 4.15, P < 0.001) and year of publication (adjusted β = -0.44, t = -3.28, P = 0.001). The sensitivity analysis showed that this outcome was stable.
CONCLUSIONSReporting quality of the Chinese meta-analysis on stomatology is low. To provide sufficient evidence to the clinicians and promote the development of evidence-based dentistry in China, experts on stomatology should study the knowledge of evidence-based medicine and comply with PRISMA statement when producing the meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinic manifestation, therapy and prognosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the larynx.
METHODSNine cases with neuroendocrine carcinoma of the larynx treated between May 2005 and June 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTSThere were six males and three females, with a median age of 58 years (ranging from 35 to 65 years). Five cases were treated by only operation, and four cases by combined treatment (surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy). Two patients with typical carcinoid tumor had not any recurrence with following up of 28 and 30 months, respectively. Of three patients with atypical carcinoid tumor, one patient recurred in 36 months after the first operation and followed by re-operation, with no recurrence by further 30 month follow-up, and the other two patients did not recur 15 and 20 month follow-up, respectively. Of three patients with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, two died after 11 and 14 months, respectively, and another patient was followed up for 18 months, with no recurrence. One patient with paraganglioma showed no recurrence with a follow up of 32 months.
CONCLUSIONSNeuroendocrine carcinoma in larynx included typical carcinoid tumor, atypical carcinoid tumor, small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and paraganglioma. Accurate diagnosis relies on histopathologic and immunohistochemical examination. There is no standard treatment plan and based-surgery combined treatment should be adopted to laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinoma. The prognosis is dependent on tumor types.
