Objective To evaluate the effect of catheterization on the serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) in acute urinary retention (AUR) patients due to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Methods The data of 35 patients with AUR due to BPH were analyzed, and the changes in serum PSA values were compared before and after catheterization. The effect of AUR on serum PSA in BPH patients was discussed. Results It has been found that serum PSA declined from 9.93?8.85ng/ml to 6.46?5.75ng/ml after catheterization for the patients of AUR with BPH, and the values showed a significant difference (P0.05) in the patients in whom the serum PSA ≤4ng/ml, while a significant difference existed in both the group of patients in whom the serum PSA was 4~10ng/ml (from 5.95?1.43ng/ml to 4.09?2.00ng/ml, P10ng/ml (from 18.93?8.49ng/ml to 11.49?6.37ng/ml, P4ng/ml.

Objective To establish a model of homogenous bladder transplantation without blood vessel anastomosis in rat,and to investigate the outcome of the transplanted grafts.Methods 20 newborn SD rats were used as donors,and a total of 20 Wistar rats of 5-week-old were used as the reeipiemts for transplantation of homogenous bladder.The grafts were harvested from the SD rats,and they were wrapped with the greater omentum of the recipients without blood vessel anastomosis.Immunosuppressive agent was given postoperatively.10 rats were sacrificed on the 7th day and the remainings rats were sacrificed on the 14th day after bladder transplantation.The transplanted bladder grafts were observed grossly and microscupicully.Results Of 20 rats undergone homogenous bladder transplantation,19 rats were alive and the grafts were in good condition microscopically.There was no obvious rejection reaction in the transplanted bladders.The bladder mucosa,blood vessels and muscle layers of the grafts appeared to be normal microscopically.Conclusions The homogenous bladder transplantation into the omentum without blood vessel anastomosis in rats is considered to be a kind of stable animal model,with a higher survival rate of the tramsplanted bladder.

Objective To evaluate the long-term complications of continent ileocolic reservoir with in situ appendix conduit through umbilicus and their management.Methods We reviewed 37 patients with bladder diseases who underwent the surgery of continent ileocolic diversion with in situ appendix conduit through umbilicus and followed up for 85 to 136 months(mean 109 months).Long-term postoperative complications were documented.Results Complications occurred in 15 cases(40.5%),including stone formation in urinary pouch in 2 cases,efferent limb stricture and difficulty in catheterization in 3 cases,ureter stricture and hydronephrosis in 7 cases,foreign matter in urinary pouch in 2 cases,efferent limb mucosa exstrophy in 1 case.These complications were correctly treated and good results were achieved.Conclusion Long-term complications of continent ileocolic diversion with in situ appendix conduit through umbilicus were related to nursing in daily life after operation and unsuited design in operation.Nursing in daily life is considered very important in preventing postoperative complications.
