Objective:To explore the value of HDlive Flow in prenatal diagnosis of the velamentous placenta.Methods:A total of 2 723 pregnant women underwent prenatal ultrasonography in the second trimester and delivered at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2020, and 48 of them were diagnosed as having velamentous placenta confirmed by postpartum clinical and pathological examination and were included in this retrospective analysis. Two-dimensional echocardiography-color Doppler flow imaging (2D-CDFI) and HDlive Flow were both performed during the prenatal ultrasound examination. The sonographic features of velamentous placenta by HDlive Flow were summarized and the prenatal detection rate between two methods were compared using Chi-square test. Results:The incidence of velamentous placenta was 1.8% (48/2 723) in our hospital. Out of the 48 enrolled cases, 45 were diagnosed by HDlive Flow with a detection rate of 93.8% (45/48), three of them were complicated by vasa previa; the other three cases were misdiagnosed as battledore placenta. There were 38 cases diagnosed by 2D-CDFI with a detection rate of 79.2% (38/48), which was lower than HDlive Flow ( χ2=4.360, P=0.037); the other ten cases were misdiagnosed as battledore placenta. The sonographic features by HDlive Flow were as follow: (1) Umbilical cord attached to fetal membranes outside the placenta in 41 cases with the umbilical vessels distributing along the fetal membrane in a mesh pattern; (2) In three cases, the umbilical cord insertion was located on fetal membranes at the edge of placenta; (3) One case was shown that umbilical cord and the branches of umbilical vessels were inserted into the placenta in a "λ" shape. Conclusions:The anatomy of the umbilical cord, umbilical blood vessels and placenta can be directly shown under HDlive Flow, which can improve the prenatal detection rate of the velamentous placenta.

Male late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) has seriously affected the quality of life in elderly men.The pathogenesis of this disease is related with growing old,endocrine function degradation and hormone levels decreased.The core principle of the western medicine treatment is to supple the androgen,but recent discovery found that long-term androgen supplementation have certain side effects,which will increase the benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer risk.Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has a unique advantage in treating this disease,it can regulate the body's endocrine and hormone levels,and delay aging.So it can improve the conditions of palpitations,insomnia,irritability,sweating,sexual loss,fatigue,weakness and other symptoms.Now we reviewed the theory of governance,classical prescriptions,self prescription treatment,acupuncture therapy,and exercise therapy from the aspect of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To evaluate the clinical curative effect of compoundTufuling tablets in the treatment of chronic prostatitis due to damp heat stagnation.Methods A total of 60 patients with chronic prostatitis due to damp heat stagnation were selected from July 2012 to July 2013 in Urology Outpatient of Urology, Xiyuan Hospital and recruited randomly divided into 2 groups, 30 patients in each group. The treatment group was treated with compound SmilaxTufuling tablets, while the control group was treated with Qianliexin capsule. The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NHI-CPSI), and the TCM symptoms score for chronic prostatitis were used to evaluate the treatment outcome.Results The total efficiency in the treatment group was significant higher than that in the control group (89.3%vs. 64.3%;χ2=4.909,P=0.027). After treatment , the NIH-CPSI total score (6.00 ± 2.36vs. 13.61 ± 2.91;t=10.748, P=0.000), and the subscales of pain or discomfort (2.54 ± 1.14vs. 4.82 ± 1.47;t=6.486,P=0.000), urination (1.61 ± 1.45vs. 4.79 ± 2.75;t=5.413,P=0.000), the quality of life (1.86 ± 1.38vs. 7.00 ± 1.36;t=14.038, P=0.000), TCM symptoms score (8.36 ± 3.03vs. 5.32 ± 2.74;t= 9.015,P=0.000) in the treatment group were decreased than those in the control group.Conclusions CompoundTufuling tablets can significantly decrease the NIH-CPSI scale and the TCM symptoms score in patients with chronic prostatitis due to damp heat stagnation, boosting satisfactory clinical effects.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect ofHuayu-Niaoshidecoction on renal injury in the patients with kidney stones after extra corporeal lithotripsy (ESWL). MethodsAccording to the inclusion criteria, 120 patients diagnosed with kidney stones were randomly divided into 2 groups with the random number table method, 60 patients in each group. Both groups were treated with double pulse extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Based on the ESWL, the control group was added with levofloxacin mesylate tablets for 3 days with the start of the day of the gravel; and the treatment group was treated withHuayu-Niaoshi decoction for 14 days based on the treatment of control group. The levels of serum endothelial endothelin 1 (ET-1), malondialdehyde (MDA), urinary N-acetyl-β-Dglucosaminidase (NAG) N-acetyl-beta-d Glucosaminidase and urine beta 2 microspheres protein (beta eukaryotic 2-mg) were detected at time of gravel, 2 hours after gravel and 2 weeks after gravel. ResultsAfter 2 weeks treatment, the levels of urinary NAG (7.33 ± 4.39 U/L vs. 9.93 ± 5.10 U/L;Z=2.587,P=0.002), serum MDA (4.63 ± 0.90 nmol/mlvs. 7.29 ± 2.16 nmol/ml;Z=5.520, P=0.001), serum ET-1 (35.06 ± 10.51 pg/mlvs. 46.90 ± 18.74 pg/ml;Z=3.315,P=0.001) and urineβ2-MG (0.14 ± 0.19) mg/Lvs. 0.19 ± 0.19 mg/L;Z=1.759,P=0.079) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusions TheHuayu-Niaoshidecoction can improve renal injury in the patients with
kidney stones after extra corporeal lithotripsy.
