Objective To establish a calculation method for the voiding work parameters by using the detrusor power curve and to evaluate its clinic efficacy.Methods From January 2001 to January 2011,132 male patients with benign prostate hyperplasia who underwent urodynamic tests were retrospectively reviewed.The patients' age ranged from 45 to 84 years old (mean 57 years old).All patients had no previous history of neurological disease and no positive findings in neurological examinations.The voiding work of bladder,the voiding power of bladder and voiding energy consumption were calculated by using the detrusor power curve method and the linearized passive urethral resistance relation analysis was conducted.According to the detrusor status,all patients were divided into the decreased detrusor pressure group,the normal detrusor pressure group and the increased detrusor pressure group.Meanwhile,normal urethral resistance group and the increased urethral resistance group were classified according to the urethral resistance status.The detrusor pressure at maximal flow rate (PdetQmax),the maximal flow rate (Qmax),the projected isovolumetric pressure (PIP),the voiding work,the voiding power and the voiding energy consumption were compared among the different groups.Results There were 56 cases,58 cases,18 cases in the decreased,normal and the increased detrusor pressure group respectively.The voiding work were (1.1 ± 0.5)J,(1.7± 0.7)J,(2.1±1.2)J; the voiding power were (15.3±7.3)mW,(31.9±12.6)mW,(42.5±21.1)mW; and the voiding energy consumption were (3.9± 1.2) J/L,(5.2± 1.9) J/L,(6.2±3.2) J/L in those three groups,respectively.With the increasing of detrusor pressure,PdetQ Q PIP,the voiding work,the voiding power and the voiding energy consumption all increased among three groups with significant difference (P< 0.05).There were 51 cases,81 cases in the normal and the increased urethral resistance group.The voiding work were (1.5±0.7)J and (1.5±0.8)J;the voiding power were (32.3±13.2)mW and (22.6±16.3)mW and the voiding energy consumption were (3.8±0.7) J/L and (5.4±2.4) J/L in two groups.The increased urethral resistance group had higher PdetQmax and voiding energy consumption (P<0.05) and lower Qmax and voiding power (P<0.05) than those in the normal urethral resistance group.However,the differences of PIP (P =0.438) and the voiding work (P =0.546) between the two groups were not determined.Conclusions The detrusor power curve method can be used to calculate the work parameters of voiding.This method can be applied to evaluate the compensatory state of bladder and is conductive to urodynamic analysis in low detrusor pressure status.Both detrusor pressure and urethral resistance had significant impact on the work capacity of bladder.

Objective To investigate the association between stem cell factor (SCF) expression and tubulointerstitial fibrosis in the kidney of rat model with uric acid nephropathy. Methods Thirty-six Wistar rats were randomly divided into model group and control group. The rats in the model group were fed with adenine by lavage at a dose of 150 mg·kg-1·d-1, and the rats in the control group were fed with normal saline by lavage at equal volume. Six rats from each group were sacrificed respectively at week 4, 8 and 12. The mRNA levels of SCF and ColⅠin the kidney were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and their protein levels and infiltrated Mast cell (MC) were measured by immunohistochemistry. The difference and correlation of each index among different time points and groups were compared. The differences between the two groups were tested by t-test, multiple data were tested by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the correlation was analyzed by Pearson's correlation. Results ①The serum uric acid (SUA) [week 4, 8, 12: (302 ±41))μmol/L, (424 ±61) μmol/L, (518 ±57) μmol/L], creatinine[week 4, 8, 12:(151±9)μmol/L, (219±15)μmol/L, (299±21)μmol/L], urea nitrogen [week 4, 8, 12:(26.7±3.7) mmol/L, (40.3 ±5.7) mmol/L, (61.9 ±9.4) mmol/L], urine protein/creatinine (Up/Ucr) [week 4, 8, 12: (0.71 ±0.10) mmol/L, (1.18 ±0.11) mmol/L, (1.78 ±0.13) mmol/L] and the expressions of SCF mRNA [week 4, 8, 12: (1.19 ± 0.41), (1.69 ±0.63), (2.21 ±0.97)} and SCF protein [week 4, 8, 12: (1.42 ±0.33), (6.02 ±1.81), (10.03 ±2.69)] in nephridial tissue of model group's rats were significantly higher compared to the control group (all of t value>4.59, P<0.01), and the indexes were increasing gradually as the lavage going on. ②The expression of SCF was correlated with collagenⅠ, degree of renal interstitial injury, urine nitrogen, serum creatinine and UP/Ucr(At week 4, r=0.53, 0.42, 0.40 and 0.51 respectively;at week 8, r=0.60, 0.59, 0.41 and 0.39 respectively;at week 12, r=0.74, 0.61, 0.56 and 0.39 respectively, all of P value<0.05). ③ Compared with control group, the number of infiltrated MC was significantly higher in the model group, and was positively correlated with the expression of SCF (r=0.91, P<0.01). Conclusion Compared with the control group, the expression of SCF and the number of infiltrated MC in the renal interstitium are evidently increased, and are increasing gradually as the lavage going on and the deteriorating of renal interstitial damage. These results suggest that both may play important roles in the occurrence and development of uric acid nephropathy.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of osteomyelitis of the jaw caused by an actinomycotic infection and to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
A case of osteomyelitis in the bilateral maxilla and the left zygomatic bone and arch caused by a mixed bacterial infection dominated by Actinomycetes was reviewed and analyzed in combination with the literature.
Results :
The patient had left upper posterior tooth pain with repeated left facial swelling for 7 months. The patient's left face was swollen before surgery, the left maxillary alveolar bone was necrotic, and the upper palate showed fistula discharge. A maxillofacial magnetic resonance imaging scan excluded tumors and other space-occupying lesions. According to CBCT images, the initial diagnoses were left infraorbital space infection and osteomyelitis of the bilateral maxillary, the left zygomatic bone, the left zygomatic arch and the lateral orbital wall. Necrosis of the left maxilla and the zygomatic bone was excised, the focus was cleared and the focal tooth was extracted under general anesthesia. Histopathological results confirmed osteomyelitis and actinomycotic infection. Anti-inflammatory therapy with penicillin sodium was given before surgery, and piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, tranexamic acid and mecobalamine were given after surgery. The patients' 6-month follow-up results showed that the maxillofacial shape was basically symmetrical; no ulceration, pus or abnormal secretion was found in the skin or intraoral mucosa; and the surgical area showed good recovery. A review of the relevant literature showed that Actinomyces is an opportunistic pathogen, and factors such as trauma and dental infection have been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteomyelitis. In addition to surgery, antibiotics are used to treat the disease and multidisciplinary symptomatic treatment combined with supportive treatment is required to achieve a better prognostic effect.
Conclusion
Actinomycotic osteomyelitis occurring in the maxilla and the zygomatic bone is an extremely rare disease that can be diagnosed by clinical manifestations, bacteriological examination and biopsy. Appropriate and effective penicillin drugs should be given at the initial stage of treatment, more sensitive antibiotics should be selected according to the results of the drug sensitivity test, and the lesions should be surgically removed when the patient's condition improves. Active symptomatic and supportive treatment should be performed during the treatment period.

To address the increasing need for detecting and validating protein biomarkers in clinical specimens, mass spectrometry (MS)-based targeted proteomic techniques, including the selected reaction monitoring (SRM), parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), and massively parallel data-independent acquisition (DIA), have been developed. For optimal performance, they require the fragment ion spectra of targeted peptides as prior knowledge. In this report, we describe a MS pipe-line and spectral resource to support targeted proteomics studies for human tissue samples. To build the spectral resource, we integrated common open-source MS computational tools to assemble a freely accessible computational workflow based on Docker. We then applied the workflow to gen-erate DPHL, a comprehensive DIA pan-human library, from 1096 data-dependent acquisition (DDA) MS raw files for 16 types of cancer samples. This extensive spectral resource was then applied to a proteomic study of 17 prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Thereafter, PRM validation was applied to a larger study of 57 PCa patients and the differential expression of three proteins in prostate tumor was validated. As a second application, the DPHL spectral resource was applied to a study consisting of plasma samples from 19 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients and 18 healthy control subjects. Differentially expressed proteins between DLBCL patients and healthy control subjects were detected by DIA-MS and confirmed by PRM. These data demonstrate that the DPHL supports DIA and PRM MS pipelines for robust protein biomarker discovery. DPHL is freely accessible at https://www.iprox.org/page/project.html?id=IPX0001400000.
