Objective:To understand the application effect of traditional position and oblique supine lithotomy in percutaneous nephroscopy combined with ureteroscopy combined with double lithography, and explore the clinical nursing methods of oblique supine lithotomy.Methods:From January 2018 to January 2019 in our hospital, 82 patients with complicated calculi who underwent percutaneous nephroscopy combined with ureteroscopy and double lithoscopy were selected, and were divided into the control group ( n=40) and the observation group according to the random number table ( n=42). The control group took the lithotomy position after anesthesia, placed the ureteral stent tube and changed it to the prone position to complete the operation; the observation group placed the oblique supine lithotomy position to complete the operation after anesthesia, and there was no need to change the position during the operation. The posture time, blood pressure, heart rate, pulse oxygen, blood transfusion, bleeding, postoperative postural comfort and complications of the two groups were compared. Results:When placed in the position and at the end of the operation, the blood pressure of the control group was (109±31), (106±23) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and the heart rate was (93 ±10), (95±15)times per minute; the blood pressure of the observation group was (130±19), (125±17)mmHg, the heart rate was (86±12), (85±9) times per minute, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t value was 2.86-4.26, P<0.01). The posture time of the observation group was (12.4±3.0) min and the control group was (21.2±6.9) min with statistically significant difference between two groups( t value was 7.550, P<0.01). The number of uncomfortable patients in the observation group after operation was 3 cases and 7 cases occurred in the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 2.450, P<0.05). Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to use the oblique supine lithotomy position in double -lens combined stone removal, which can reduce the patient's discomfort and complications, and effectively improve the surgical efficiency and quality.

Objective To study the homology characteristics of clinicaly isolated and colonized linezolid(LZD)-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (E.faecalis) strains from a patient.Methods Ten E.faecalis strains (2 were isolated from urine specimens and 8 were from stool specimens) isolated from a patient with pulmonary infection were performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing, homology of E.faecalis was determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).Results Before and after patients received LZD therapy, 2 E.faecalis strains isolated form urine specimens were both resistant to LZD (MICs: 8 mg/mL, 16 mg/mL, respectively), among 8 strains from stool specimens (6 were isolated before therapy, and 2 were isolated after therapy), LZD susceptible, intermediate, and resistant strains were 4, 2, and 2 respectively(MICs: 0.25-12 mg/mL).10 strains of E.faecalis were homologous by PFGE typing.Conclusion In this case, the detection of E.faecalis from urinary tract and intestinal tract is homologous, which suggested that LZD-resistant Enterococcus may be colonized in vivo for a long time, and may be shift to cause bacterial infection.

Objective To study the effect of puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate biopsy on the detection rate of prostate cancer. Methods The clinical data of 254 prostate cancer patients who had underwent the first prostate biopsy by transrectal ultrasound guidance from September 2013 to November 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into prostate cancer group and non prostate cancer group according to biopsy pathologic results. The total prostate specific antigen (TPSA), prostate volume, puncture length per needle, puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate, volume of per needle and percentage of the sampled prostate volume were compared between 2 groups, and the relationship between puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate and prostate cancer detection rate were analyzed. Results Among the 254 patients, the prostate cancer was in 67 cases (prostate cancer group), and the benign lesion was in 187 cases (non prostate cancer group). The prostate cancer detection rate was 26.4% (67/254). There were no statistical differences in age, puncture length per needle and volume of per needle between 2 groups (P＞0.05). The TPSA, puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate and percentage of the sampled prostate volume in prostate cancer group were significantly higher than those in non prostate cancer group: (13.8 ± 6.8)×103 ng/L vs. (8.5 ± 3.9)×103 ng/L, (3.42 ± 0.12) mm/cm3 vs. (2.83 ± 0.18) mm/cm3 and (2.75 ± 0.31)% vs. (2.24 ± 0.25)%, the prostate volume was significantly lower than that in non prostate cancer group: (45.8 ± 15.5) cm3vs. (56.3 ± 13.8) cm3, and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that area under the curve was 0.628, 95% CI 0.561 to 0.695. The cutoff value of puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate was 3.40 mm/cm3, with the sensitivity of 59.8% and the specificity of 64.8% . Conclusions The puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate and percentage of the sampled prostate volume are important morphometric parameters in the determination of prostate cancer. The detection rate of prostate cancer is the highest , when puncture length per cubic centimeter of prostate is≥3.40 mm/cm3.

Objective To evaluate and compare the effectivity and safety of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPNL) and flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) for diameter 10 to 20 mm renal stone in obese patients. Methods This was a multicenter prospective study. One hundred and ten obese patients (body mass index≥28.0 kg/m2) with diameter 10 to 20 mm kidney stone from January 2015 to May 2017 were selected. The patients were divided into mPNL group (58 cases) and FURL group (52 cases) according to the patients′ will. The operation time, hospitalization time, complication, one-stage stone removal rate and ultimate stone removal rate were compared between 2 groups. Results The operation time, hospitalization time and incidence of complication in FURL group were significantly lower than those in mPNL group: (66.7 ± 21.9) min vs. (85.7 ± 33.4) min, (72.5 ± 23.7) h vs. (120.8 ± 33.5) h and 9.6% (5/52) vs. 31.0% (18/58), and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05). There were no statistical differences in the one-stage stone removal rate and ultimate stone removal rate between 2 groups (P＞0.05). In aspect of postoperative bleeding, hemoglobin decreased after operation (15.8 ± 9.7) g/L in mPNL group; no hemorrhage occurred in FURL group, and no significant changes in hemoglobin were observed before and after operation. Conclusions Both mPNL and FURL achieve satisfactory stone-free rates in obese patients with diameter 10 to 20 mm renal stone. Compared with mPNL, FURL has shorter operation time and lower incidence of complication.
