Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the TVT-Secur procedure for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods Analyze retrospectively the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative complications and follow-up data of 27 SUI patients from October 2008 to May 2010. 20 cases were simple SUI, and 7 cases were mixed SUI. The average age was 56.1 ± 10.7 years (range, 35-77), the average parity was 2.8-±- 1.4 (range, 1-6), the average body mass index was 25.6±2.5, and the average course of the disease was 6.8±7.2 yeas (range, 1-30). Two cases had past history of pelvic surgery without any anti-incontinence surgery. Mashall-marchett test was positive in all patients, with an average abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP) of 60.9±27.5 cm H2O (range, 27- 120 cm H2O). The mean International Consultation on Incontinence-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) score was 11.2 ± 1.8 (range, 7- 14) before surgery. Results 27 patients underwent TVT-Secur procedure, of which 19 cases underwent "U" procedure, and 8 cases underwent "H" procedure. The mean operation time was 15.3±1.4min (range, 13- 19 min). There were no intraoperative bladder or urethral injury, and no obturator vessel or nerve damage. The blood loss was 10 to 50 ml, and the maximum urinary flow rate was 25. 4±13. 1 ml (range, 4-50 ml). Three eases had mild dysuria(11. 1%), and 3 cases had wound effusion(11. 1%). Followed up for 12. 6 ±6. 7 months (range, 3-21 months). 10 cases complained of bladder overactivity symptoms such as frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence, and no case had vaginal erosion. Therapeutic efficacy: 15 cases were cured (56%), 8 cases were improved (30%), and 4 cases were ineffective (15%). Conclusions TVT-Secur procedure is a simple, safe and minimally invasive surgery, while the cure rate is low. The long-term efficacy needs great amount of clinical data and long-term follow-up to prove.

[Objective]To explore the six medicinal ingredients,namely"(臧)Zangdu,Luru,Shashen,Baishashen,Shuchong and Fangji(ji)",in the Wucheng Hanjian prescription,in order to restore their original appearance.[Methods]Through literature search and double evidence method,a large number of relevant papers and books were consulted,and the research results were compared and summarized.[Results]This prescription consists of twenty-six medicinal ingredients,and the methods of preparation are diverse."(臧)Zangdu"should be"Daizhe"used by modern people;"Shashen"should be"Nanshashen",and"Baishashen"should be"Beishashen";"Shuchong"should be"Zhechong";there are two possible specific medicinal ingredients for"Luru",one is"Qucao",and the other is"lvru";"Fangji(ji)"should be"Fangkui".This prescription is used to treat"cold and dampness epidemic"with the etiology of cold and dampness,the main symptoms of constipation,coughing,and body pain,and the pathogenesis of external cold,internal drinking,and heat stagnation.[Conclusion]The research and restoration of the true appearance of the Wucheng Hanjian prescription is not only beneficial for further exploring the development process of traditional medicine,but also has practical reference significance for modern research on Chinese medicine,and also has certain value for the tracing research of Zhe school of traditional Chinese medicine.
